Qi Hui felt a chill run down his spine. He looked at Academician Liu and pleaded. "Academician Liu, please give me another chance. I will apologize to Engineer Wei right now."
"It's too late." Academician Liu pursed his lips and said emotionlessly.
Qi Hui opened his mouth. "But you know what happened at the Institute of Technology..."
Before he could finish, Academician Liu interrupted him coldly, "That's enough, Qi Hui. I only gave you one chance after the plagiarism incident in your department last year. It's because you don't know how to behave yourself again and again. You brought this upon yourself."
How dare he try to bite back at him?
Academician Liu veered his eyes away from Qi Hui without looking at him.
Qi Hui knew that there was no turning back when he saw how cold and emotionless Academician Liu was.
At the end of the day, demotion was not the point. The point was that Academician Liu had to abandon Qi Hui in order to maintain his relationship with the Institute of Technology.
Qi Hui walked out of the office dejectedly.
Just as he reached the elevator, the elevator doors coincidentally opened. He looked up to see Liu Gan standing inside.
Qi Hui was stunned. A thought crossed his mind. When Liu Gan stepped out of the elevator, he suddenly asked him. "Did Academician Liu ask you to come?"
Liu Gan straightened his chest. Ever since he had been sent flying by his own student yesterday, he finally felt a sense of elation. "Yes, what's the problem?"
When Qi Hui heard that, he clenched his fists by his side, and many emotions surged in his eyes.
Did Academician Liu want to promote Liu Gan by abandoning him?
When the elevator doors were about to close, Qi Hui suppressed the bitterness in his heart. He raised his hand and pressed the button next to him nonchalantly before he replied calmly. "Nothing."
After saying that, he walked into the elevator, and his pace was a little fast.
Liu Gan turned to look at Qi Hui quizzically. Why was he not putting on airs with him today?
In the past, he had always been arrogant because of his status as the department head.
Liu Gan pursed his lips and headed to Academician Liu's office without thinking too much about it.

Time passed quickly. On Friday afternoon, Huo Yao drove to the university to pick up Shangguan Yun.
Although he lived on campus, he had days off every week.
"How do you feel?" asked Huo Yao as she placed his suitcase in the car after picking him up.
"It's a little boring." Shangguan Yun frowned. He stood by the car door and looked at his sister's back. He continued, "Sister, I'd better not go to school."
There were even more rules than when he was in the clan!
Huo Yao closed the trunk. When she came back, she patted him on the shoulder and said, "Sleep with a higher pillow tonight."
With that, she opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat.
Shangguan Yun was speechless.
Shangguan Yun got in the car with a hopeless look.
Huo Yao received a call from her fourth older brother's manager, Tong Yu.
Tong Yu was in the capital on a business trip, so he had bought something for her and asked her out for dinner.
Huo Yao didn't turn him down, so they decided on a place to meet.
Tong Yu was already there when she arrived at the restaurant. "Yao, you're here."
Huo Yao nodded. "Long time no see, Tong."
Tong Yu smiled. When he saw the handsome young man behind Huo Yao, he could not take his eyes off him. "Who is this?"
Huo Yao's temples throbbed when she saw how Tong Yu looked like a talent scout who had just discovered a potential star. She said helplessly, "Tong, my little brother is tone deaf."
In other words, she was telling him not to have any other thoughts.
