So, by sheer coincidence, Leng Yixiu ran into Lin Yixun.
Leng Yixiu’s gaze lingered for a few seconds on the hand resting on Lin Yixun’s shoulder, his narrow eyes dangerously squinted into a slit, and the sharp look in his eyes was like a poisoned dagger.
Beside him was the principal of T University, who was talking enthusiastically, introducing the history of T University with pride in his eyes. Perhaps he was too engrossed in his introduction, for he did not notice the look of impatience beginning to show on the man’s face next to him.
Seeing this situation, Assistant Chen, following behind them, was silently wiping cold sweat, feeling both nervous and resentful. Couldn’t this old scholar read the room? He was really anxious about the principal’s emotional intelligence.
"President Leng, this is the newly constructed teaching building at our school. The teaching equipment inside is all the most advanced in the world. Of course, the value of a university lies not in its size, but in its great teachers. Every teacher at our school is carefully selected."
The principal didn’t notice or ignored the signs and continued, pointing at Xing Yi not far away, "That gentleman is a newly hired teacher at our university, a PhD in computer science from Yale University. Despite his young age, he has already published several papers in world-renowned journals, and this year he was exceptionally hired by our university as a tenured professor..."
Assistant Chen secretly thought to himself that while the old man couldn’t read the room, he knew how to dig his own grave. Didn’t he notice that the boss’s face was as dark as Judge Bao’s?
After an unknown amount of time, the man’s lips curled into a smile, "Oh? I didn’t realize your esteemed school had such talent?"
With this compliment, the old man became even more enthusiastic and was about to introduce Xing Yi in even more detail, but the man interrupted, "I heard he’s from the computer science department. Coincidentally, Leng’s main focus is software development. I wonder if Principal Ruan could bear to part with such a talent?"
"This..."
"I was just joking, Principal Ruan, no need to take it to heart." The man smiled lightly.
He cast a deep glance at the man and woman who had already walked away, then turned to Assistant Chen behind him and said, "Cancel all arrangements for tonight."
...
Getting into the car, Lin Yixun finally let out a long sigh of relief. These young people nowadays were incredibly nosy. Some even followed them all the way to the garage before giving up.
She couldn’t help but joke, "Has T University shifted its focus from training engineers to training paparazzi?"
Xing Yi was amused by her words, "I didn’t expect you to joke around."
Lin Yixun blinked, "Is it strange for me to joke?"
"Not strange at all. Everyone has a sense of humor deep down, especially during your university days..." The man abruptly stopped mid-sentence.
"What about my university days?" They didn’t know each other back then, did they?
"Nothing." The man smiled.
"Really?" Lin Yixun stared at him suspiciously. She felt that Xing Yi had more to say but didn’t intend to press further. Changing the topic, she asked, "What do you want for dinner tonight?"
"Anything, I’m not picky."
Lin Yixun rolled her eyes, "What is anything? I don’t know any restaurant that serves ’anything’."
"I’ll eat whatever you want to eat."
"Anything, really? Even if I ask you to eat street food, is that fine?"
The man smiled, "No problem, back in university, I used to eat street food with my dorm mates from time to time."
