Chapter 442: Chapter 441: Let Mr.
Xiao be the judge Chapter 442: Chapter 441: Let Mr.
Xiao be the judge But someone caught a glimpse of a silhouette.
Xiao Qian’s uncle is so handsome!”
“Our investor is not an uncle, but a young and dashing gentleman!”
When Xiao Qimo arrived at the office, he found Lu Mian sitting arrogantly on the sofa, playing with her phone, seemingly unconcerned.
She looked a bit pale, though.
He counted the days and realized it was indeed that time.
Feeling so uncomfortable, why did she still go to class?
He scrutinized Lu Mian for a while and noticed she wasn’t angry and her state seemed fine, which slightly eased his mind.
Lu Mian only gave Xiao Qimo a lazy glance, not surprised by his presence; she had almost guessed it already.
She hadn’t expected him to have such a grown nephew.
He seemed to be quite good to his nephew.
But, she seemed to understand that there was a reason for it involving herself…
Wan Haixiang and Bi Jun in the office saw Xiao Qimo simultaneously.
His presence was so powerful that it caused an involuntary sinking feeling, with the domineering force and the oppressive aura firmly pressing down on them.
Bi Jun hadn’t expected that their investor would be so young.
He heard it was Xiao Qian’s uncle.
With Lu Mian and Xiao Qian being the biggest competitors, it seemed Lu Mian was truly in danger this time…
Wan Haixiang had seen Xiao Qimo before, and before he could even attend to his expression, hurriedly said, “Mr.
Xiao, your timing is perfect, I really can’t teach this student, if it really won’t work, just let her go back.”
Xiao Qimo squinted his eyes slightly.
He looked at the girl on the sofa, who was still comfortably at ease, clueless about the game she was so engrossed in playing.
He was even a bit envious of her phone, always held in the palm of her hand day in and day out.
He envied the game she played, being favored by her every day.
Quickly, Bi Jun calmed Wan Haixiang and explained the whole situation to Xiao Qimo.
Wan Haixiang, hands behind his back, gritted his teeth, “Mr.
Xiao, you be the judge, doesn’t a person deserve to be kicked out?”
Xiao Qimo being the judge?
Lu Mian couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
To Wan Haixiang, her behavior seemed even more provocative, his mouth incessantly clamoring for Xiao Qimo to make a decision.
Xiao Qimo smiled slowly and deliberately, and because she laughed, he unwittingly followed suit with a smile.
He sauntered over to the sofa, and bending over elegantly and leisurely, he said in his pleasant voice, “Tell me, should a person be kicked out?”
Wan Haixiang was taken aback, failing to catch the undertone of his words.
While still playing her game, Lu Mian responded lazily, not even lifting her eyelids, “Yeah, kick her out.
Someone who makes a mistake and won’t admit it, misleading so many students, what are they doing standing on that platform?”
Xiao was talking about you!” he reminded through clenched teeth; he had specifically asked Xiao Qimo to come because of their acquaintance.
Xiao coming over surely meant he was on his side, how could he side with Lu Mian!
Xiao Qimo smiled fondly, “Alright, as you wish.”
Wan Haixiang shivered abruptly.
Bi Jun beside him was also astonished.
Why would the investor side with Lu Mian?
And in such an affectionate tone?
Meanwhile, in the classroom, there was a buzz of discussion, and people even started to feel a bit sorry for Lu Mian.
“I think Lu Mian is in deep trouble this time, so we won’t have to see her cold face anymore after this.”
“But her face is really pretty though, pretty and good at studying too.”
“Lemon spirits, admit it, you’re just jealous of Lu Mian!” Zhang Yanyan angrily said from the back row.
Soon, Xiu Qian seemed to have figured something out, tore off the piece of paper from his notebook, told Qu Weiwei “I’m heading over,” and rushed to the office.
Wan Haixiang was internally anxious, nervous as a drum beat.
Hearing Xiao Qimo wanting to send him away made him even more determined to argue his innocence.
He didn’t need the job, but he needed to regain his dignity, to make Xiao Qimo stand by his side.
Lu Mian finally finished her game, and only then did she address Wan Haixiang.
She stood up and recited the previous math problem without missing a single word.
“It’s this problem, Mr.
Xiao, you be the judge, who’s right and who’s wrong?”
As he finished speaking, Xiu Qian also dashed over from the classroom, clutching the calculation process in his hand.
He ran to the door of the office, and without even catching his breath, he spoke.
“Professor Wan, you’re the one who’s mistaken about this problem!”
After he said that, he remembered Xiao Qimo was also there as he walked into the office.
He silently lowered his head, not speaking to him, and just handed over the scratch paper to Wan Haixiang.
Wan Haixiang let out a dejected sigh: “Xiu Qian, how could you also…”
Xiu Qian shook his head: “Professor Wan, the mistake is really on your part.”
Seeing that the professor was still somewhat unconvinced, Xiao Qimo pulled the scratch paper from his hand that Xiu Qian had passed him, glanced at it, and laughed, “I agree with her on this problem.”
Xiao, you too…” Wan Haixiang swallowed hard.
Xiao Qimo looked at Wan Haixiang and asked, “You know what my job is, right?”
Wan Haixiang nodded, “Of course, I know.
Back then, your physics scores broke several years’ records, you were a rare physics talent.
It’s just a pity that you didn’t continue in this field, which was a great loss to the physics community.”
From Wan Haixiang’s words, Lu Mian learned about this part of Xiao Qimo’s past.
This also explained the origin of that notebook of hers, with information and ideas so precious, it seemed only he could have come up with them.
Suddenly, she regretted giving it to Zhang Yanyan.
She didn’t want anyone else to see those things…
Xiao Qimo’s words were authoritative, and even if Wan Haixiang was stubborn, he couldn’t deny the answers given by him.
Xiao Qimo rarely explained a few sentences.
“The answer given by the research team is indeed the same as yours, but that doesn’t prove that the research team is absolutely correct.
There is only one correct solution to this problem, Professor Wan, don’t make the mistake again in future.”
After Xiao Qimo spoke, Wan Haixiang didn’t know where to put his face.
He had originally wanted Xiao Qimo to come and speak for him, only to find the other firmly on the opposite side.
But he was powerless to refute Xiao Qimo’s words, as the latter was not one to joke about such matters.
However, he couldn’t understand why Xiao Qimo seemed a little different towards Lu Mian…
In contrast, he was much colder towards his nephew, Xiu Qian.
Not only was Xiao Qimo very indifferent to Xiu Qian, but he even found him a little annoying, subtly stepping closer to Lu Mian and shielding her behind him.
What was he doing coming over here?
Did he need to step in?
Xiu Qian noticed the odd look from Xiao Qimo, and after glancing between Lu Mian and Xiao Qimo, he was somewhat unclear about the situation.
Now, the truth of the matter had come to light.
Xiao Qimo looked at Lu Mian with a gentle voice, “How would you like to handle this?”
