"Oh," Qiao Ze nodded and responded.
"With things , can't you talk a bit more with Su?" Lu Xiuxiu really couldn't help but glare at Qiao Ze. This kid really doesn't know how to be considerate!
Because of this remark, Su Mucheng finally blushed, and after pondering for a moment, Qiao Ze said, "Then you should rest well if you want to study, I'll send you the videos."
Lu Xiuxiu pursed her lips after hearing this; she grew even less satisfied with Qiao Ze.
Fortunately, Su Mucheng didn't mind these things and simply said, holding back her shyness, "Yeah, right, Qiao, Dou Dou was amazing last night, it now has so many fans!"
If she hadn't been so tired, she actually really wanted to go to the lab and heap lavish praise on Dou Dou in person. Even though she could operate from home, it felt somewhat different in the lab.
"Oh! Then I won't consider deleting it to start over," Qiao Ze promised seriously.
"Ah?" Su Mucheng was startled, only then realizing that Dou Dou's continued existence was purely lucky.
Really, at that moment, Su Mucheng almost couldn't resist the urge to immediately call Su Lixing to let her unreliable father listen to Qiao Ze's true thoughts.
The now-beloved Dou Dou could have been deleted by its creator, and she was actually the one who had saved Dou Dou.
However, considering what had happened last night, Su felt guilty in the end.
To prevent Old Comrade Su from getting angry, she decided to leave this matter for later.
Lu Xiuxiu didn't understand what they were talking about, but now she truly felt sympathy for Su Mucheng.
"Okay, okay, stop talking about this. Chengzi, hurry up and finish your meal and rest—look at those dark circles. You can't keep staying up. Qiao, you should also hurry up and finish your meal and get on with your work!"
Qiao Ze was practically chased out the front door by Lu Xiuxiu. There was no helping it; the mother had realized if Qiao didn't leave, her Su wouldn't be able to rest peacefully.
Alright, one must admit that today, going to the lab alone without someone chattering beside him, Qiao Ze actually felt a bit unaccustomed.
When he arrived at the lab office, he found Xu and Li waiting outside the door.
Qiao Ze didn't find it particularly surprising, just hadn't expected them to come so early.
"Li, Director Xu," Qiao Ze greeted them.
"Qiao Ze, you're here. Actually, we just arrived. Li was about to call you, but I stopped him, thinking you should be here soon." Xu Dajiang greeted Qiao Ze in his usual cheery manner.
Although Qiao Ze really didn't care when he had arrived.
"Oh," Qiao Ze uttered, raising his hand to open the office door.
The office used an electronic lock, and only the fingerprints of Qiao Ze and Su Mucheng were recorded.
"Eh, Qiao Ze, why isn't Su Mucheng here today?" After following Qiao Ze into the office, Li Jian asked.
"She got tired last night and needs to rest during the day," Qiao Ze explained.
"Oh, it's because of Dou Dou, right? I wanted to take some time to read your paper last night, but I ended up chatting with Dou Dou for most of the night with Director Xu," Li Jian lamented.
"Mm." Qiao Ze acknowledged, effectively answering Li Jian's question before looking at Xu Dajiang and then advised soberly, "Uncle Li, you should read the paper next time. The director has more leisure time; you can't afford to be as idle as he is."
*Cough* *cough*... Director Xu cleared his throat and said solemnly, "Actually, Qiao Ze, I'm really not as idle as you think. I have many meetings usually, and I need to arrange work and all that."
"Oh," Qiao Ze nodded as usual. Whether he believed those words, well, that truly only heaven knows.
