2130 Slap in the Face! What’s the Use of Complaining to Me?
Qiao Nian was also eating on Wednesday.
Ji Ziyin couldn’t help but think too much. She clenched her fists and looked at the girl with great concern. Her eyes flickered. “Qiao Nian, don’t tell me you happen to be going to the Intercontinental Hotel on Wednesday?”
Xie Tingyun’s banquet would be very cla.s.sy, and Ji Ziyin wasn’t qualified to attend at all.
She had only heard that Xie Tingyun’s filiation banquet was set to be held this Wednesday at the Intercontinental Hotel.
Zhou Zhou looked at Ji Ziyin in surprise and was about to say, “Miss Ji, this doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you, right? We can eat wherever we want…”
Where Sun was eating on Wednesday had nothing to do with her. It had nothing to do with her!
Qiao Nian threw the carton of milk she was holding to Zhou Zhou, interrupting her. Then, she said casually, “It’s for you. I’m going in.”
Zhou Zhou quickly caught the carton of milk and smiled. “Go ahead.”
Qiao Nian hummed and left without looking back. She did not acknowledge Ji Ziyin the entire time, as if she didn’t exist.
Ji Ziyin’s face was ashen as she watched the girl walk away, then a hint of red appeared on her face. She stood rooted to the ground, looking embarra.s.sed.
Gu Hengbo pulled a long face upon seeing that his proud student was at a disadvantage. Meticulous and authoritative, he said, “Heh, Team Leader Zhou, do all the students in your Level 3 laboratory have this att.i.tude? Do they all pretend not to hear when someone is talking to them?”
“Huh?” Zhou Zhou had just put on a straw on the milk carton. He unhurriedly looked at Gu Hengbo and Ji Ziyin and then said, “Oh, I might not be familiar with you.”
Gu Hengbo’s face darkened.
He wanted to say something, but Zhou Zhou didn’t give him the chance and said with a smile, “Team Leader Gu, if you have the energy to be angry here, why don’t you teach your students more? Next time, don’t strike up a conversation with someone if you’re unfamiliar with them. Otherwise, you’ll be slapped in the face and complain indignantly here.”
Her words were full of sarcasm.
Gu Hengbo and Ji Ziyin’s expressions changed slightly.
Zhou Zhou asked, “Is it useful for you to complain to me?”
“You!” Gu Hengbo was so angry that he almost choked.
Zhou Zhou pretended not to see it and waved at them in high spirits.
“I’m still busy. I’ll leave first.”
“…”
“Team Leader Gu, take your time.”
Zhou Zhou waved her hand and left in a carefree manner. Soon, like Qiao Nian, she only left a carefree back view for the group of people from the Level 5 laboratory.
Ji Ziyin’s mind worked quickly.
Taking a deep breath, she turned her head and apologized to Gu Hengbo sincerely, “Teacher, I’m sorry. I was impulsive and implicated you to be scolded with me.”
Zhou Zhou mocked Gu Hengbo. She was just short of saying that he was a busybody.
However, because they were all colleagues, Zhou Zhou didn’t say it directly.
Therefore, her words just now couldn’t be considered scolding Gu Hengbo at all.
Ji Ziyin apologized and said that she had implicated Gu Hengbo to ‘get scolded’ with her.
Gu Hengbo’s status in the research inst.i.tute had always been higher than others.
Naturally, he was much more ambitious than ordinary people.
He prided himself on being different from the other laboratory heads. He usually didn’t take Zhou Zhou and the others seriously.
However, he had been publicly slapped in the face by Zhou Zhou several times recently. The dissatisfaction in his heart had long acc.u.mulated to the extreme.
As expected.
His expression worsened at Ji Ziyin’s apology.
