The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress

Chapter 718: 284 The Newly Emerged Outlaw, Bai Lian’s Confidence!_4
 

The implication was clear, if she didn’t apologize, she would report to Sun Fu.

She held quite a bit of prestige in the lab, and with one word from her, the entire external laboratory fell silent.

Xu Zhiyue even set aside her work and didn’t dare to breathe too heavily, while Ding Wenyang anxiously looked at Bai Lian.

The opportunity for newcomers to come to the lab was rare.

“Fine, I won’t come at all this week,” Bai Lian was not affected, she slowly draped her cape over herself, her slender fingers tying the drawstrings, and she waved her cell phone towards Hen Shuyan and Su Yuanzhen, “Professor Zhou just approved my leave for a week.”

The international exchange conference was a big national event, and Professor Zhou even asked her if one week would be enough.

Having said that, she picked up her computer and turned to leave.

Her snow-white cape traced an arc in the air.

Behind her, Hen Shuyan narrowed his eyes.

He had heard from Song Min and Bai Shaoqi that Bai Lian came from Beicheng, with no major scholarly factions backing her.

In the lab, such people were actually quite easy to manipulate, he had prepared for Bai Lian to apologize, but didn’t expect her to be so straightforward, leaving as soon as she said she would. Where did she get this confidence?

Hen Shuyan and Su Yuanzhen didn’t pay much attention to Bai Lian’s departure, and no one wanted to inquire further.

She was just a freshman, one more or less didn’t matter to them.

That evening.

Song Min invited Hen Shuyan for dinner, and Hen Shuyan brought Su Yuanzhen along.

Song Min was now into student entrepreneurship and was doing quite well, and both Su Yuanzhen and Hen Shuyan were eager to make connections with him.

At the dinner table, Hen Shuyan brought up Bai Lian again.

“She took a leave for such a great opportunity?” Bai Shaoqi heard this and looked up with her drink in hand.

How long had Bai Shaoke waited for such an opportunity?

“Too young, I heard she’s this year’s top scholar from the national college entrance exam, and quite popular at school. She’s inevitably a bit arrogant,” Su Yuanzhen, having heard a few things about Bai Lian from Bai Shaoqi, commented, “I will report to the teacher tomorrow. With a student like her, the teacher might not want to keep her around.”

How popular Bai Lian was—Su Yuanzhen and Hen Shuyan, who spent their days in the lab, had both heard about her.

Sitting to the left of Bai Shaoqi, Song Min slightly lifted his gaze upon hearing this.

Bai Shaoqi smiled lightly and said no more.

Just then, Su Yuanzhen received a message from Sun Fu.

After reading the message, Su Yuanzhen put down her chopsticks, “Is the group assignment done? The teacher just said he’s coming in person on Friday to listen, so check on the progress.”

“The teacher is taking it this seriously this time?” Hen Shuyan was somewhat surprised.

The two hadn’t finished dining when Song Min drove them back to the research center.

“I can’t believe she just took a leave like that,” Under the research center’s tall building, after the two entered, Bai Shaoqi got into the car, “Are you really going to invest in this project?”

“If it really can be developed,” Song Min slowly drove off, “its market value will multiply many times over.”

In the upstairs laboratory.

This time, Hen Shuyan and Su Yuanzhen had delegated the group assignment entirely to the newcomers, and the quality of this year’s freshmen was truly notable—they had both taken on the role of hands-off supervisors.

Because they were both busy with their own matters, neither Hen Shuyan nor Su Yuanzhen were aware of the progress of the group assignment. They called in Liang Wuyu.

Upon being questioned, Liang Wuyu pushed his glasses up and his hair partially obscured his eyes, “We’re missing a comprehensive data model.”

“Then you all need to hurry up and work on it,” Hen Shuyan frowned.

“We can’t,” Liang Wuyu replied unhurriedly, “Zhiyue and Tang Ming need to familiarize themselves with the equipment. All their data was checked and calculated by Bai Lian, she’s faster than a computer. Only she is fully aware of this part of the data and the verification models.”

“But now, she has taken leave.”
