Forced to Date a Big Shot

Chapter 621: Progress of the Project

After that, things became very busy.

During the holidays, the people who stayed in the laboratory did not rest and sped up the project.

In fact, the early stages only involved some scientific research. Only when the actual theory was completed would it be carried out.

Now, they were all doing a model simulation on the computer.

After the holidays, people went back to school one after another. Aside from the students from Huaxia University, those from Huazhong University also came. The students from Huazhong University were very passionate. The two schools were not that far from each other, so they came to report almost every day.

There were even some who had such a good time at Huaxia University that they came to stay there.

Every morning, when Xue Xi came over, she would find someone using a chair as a bed, having lain there for the whole night.

After many times of this happening, Xue Xi simply waved her hand and created a space in the laboratory to serve as bedrooms.

Zheng Zhi did not report to the laboratory every day.

He had set the rules and everyone just had to abide by them.

Hence, when he arrived in the middle of October and saw He Gao in the laboratory with a few sports students, he was a little angry.

He walked over and chided, “What are you doing?”

He Gao had always been proud and arrogant. This time too, the arrogant youth had an unruly look on his face. When he heard his unkind words, his handsome features turned cold. “Are you blind?”

Zheng Zhi: “...”

In the laboratory, everyone knew that he was the one who set the rules, so no one dared to disrespect him. He Gao’s words made him feel extremely aggrieved.

Zheng Zhi said angrily, “There’s not enough time to do scientific research as it is. How can we waste time building a bedroom here? Moreover, don’t you know how much the laboratory’s project cost? As a procurement officer, you actually...”

Zheng Zhi looked at the mattresses nearby and felt his heart ache even more. “If I remember correctly, this kind of mattress costs 20,000 yuan each, right? You could have gotten a few second-hand mattresses at the last minute, so why did you buy such expensive ones?”

He Gao did not want to explain and just replied coolly, “Why do you care?”

Actually, Sister Xi had not been returning to the dormitory recently and was staying in the laboratory.

In the next few months, there would increasingly be more times that she’d be staying here. If she could live more comfortably just by him spending some money, why not?

Sister Xi did not care about this bit of money, alright?

Zheng Zhi: “...”

He Gao had just finished laying the mattress when he heard the delivery man’s voice. “The takeout is here.”

He Gao nodded and went to get the takeout.

Zheng Zhi almost fainted again when he saw the takeout.

His hands trembled and his heart ached. “Isn’t this takeout from the Pavilion of Double Happiness? Since when did that restaurant make deliveries?”

He Gao glared at him and ignored him. He immediately distributed food to everyone.

Zheng Zhi: “...Each portion of this takeout probably costs a few hundred, right? There are two hundred people in the lab. You spend tens of thousands a day on food?”

He Gao had picked up another portion and was walking forward. When he heard Zheng Zhi’s words, he suddenly stopped. Zheng Zhi was so frightened that he hurriedly stood still and almost bumped into him!

He Gao narrowed his eyes and stared at Zheng Zhi. “If you say another word, my fists might give answer.”

Zheng Zhi: “...”

After saying that, He Gao walked toward Xue Xi.

Sister Xi was also eating takeout with them, so he naturally had to order something better!

Zheng Zhi’s heart ached. He felt that it would be a waste of money to have a good chat with He Gao.

Hence, he took a bottle of fruit juice from the side and walked to He Gao’s side, passing it to him.

He Gao shot him a glance and said, “I don’t drink juice.”

Zheng Zhi: “...”

Coincidentally, Xue Xi had just finished her meal and was holding a glass of fruit juice. When she passed by He Gao, she suddenly stopped. “Little Flame, do you want fruit juice?”

He Gao, who had been arrogant just a moment ago, instantly became as docile as a lamb. “Okay.”

Xue Xi passed him the juice and said, “Don’t be reluctant to spend money.”

“Okay.”

Zheng Zhi: “...”

...

On the other side, with the physics team.

They were stuck at a knowledge point.

The person-in-charge of the physics team was a graduate student in the school. He had always been one of the best in the physics team, yet he was currently having a headache.

They had been stuck at this point for two whole days.

If he could not solve this problem, everything else would be in vain.

The senior rubbed his temples.

Someone could not help but ask, “Senior, why don’t we ask Sister Xi?”

Someone immediately said, “This... I saw that the mathematics department, the chemistry department, and the computer department would look for her if they encountered any problems, but she seems to be very good at those three subjects. I’ve never seen her study physics before. Would she know how to solve this?”

“Who knows? Then again, these subjects are related. Even if she really doesn’t know how to solve this, it would be good enough if she can at least provide some ideas.”

“Yes, go ask!”

“If Sister Xi finds it difficult, let’s not ask again next time!”

Under the instigation of a group of people, the senior picked up the thick stack of documents in his hands and walked over to Xue Xi. “I’ll go try. However, if Sister Xi doesn’t know how to do it, you guys are not allowed to mock her! Everyone has their own strengths. Sister Xi’s achievements in mathematics and chemistry are already something we can’t compare to. Do you understand?”

“We all know that. Don’t worry! If Sister Xi doesn’t know how to do it, remember to say something and help her regain her face!”

“...”
