Qi Hui glanced sideways at Liu Gan. He placed his hands behind his back and strolled back to his desk. He pulled out a chair and sat down before he said, "This is the list that Academician Liu gave me this morning. I think he wants me to give my opinion before making a final decision."
Liu Gan raised his head and looked at Qi Hui's calm expression. No wonder Qi Hui wanted him to be his assistant. He wanted Liu Gan to agree even if he did not want to.
Without funds, it would be even more difficult for them to split their departments.
Liu Gan inhaled deeply. He walked up to his desk and put down the piece of paper. He placed his hands on the edge of the desk and leaned forward slightly. His eyes were dark as he enunciated each word clearly. "I can help your students with their experiments."
When Qi Hui heard this, he lazily leaned back in his chair. "Then I hope that Teacher Liu will pay more attention to my student's experiments."
Why did he have to make things so awkward? Why did he have to make things so awkward?
Liu Gan clenched the edge of the desk tightly and said, "But I have a condition."
Qi Hui could roughly guess what Liu Gan wanted to say, so he said straightforwardly, "Don't worry. I will talk to Academician Liu about the subsidy."
"That's one thing. I also want to bring a student to observe," said Liu Gan firmly.
Qi Hui frowned. "Can you guarantee that your student will keep the experiment data confidential?"
"Of course. After all, a person should have basic manners," said Liu Gan sarcastically.
Qi Hui knew that Liu Gan was indirectly scolding him, but he did not want to be petty with him. He contemplated for two seconds before he said, "Sure."
In any case, the students in his department were good-looking but useless. Even if he brought a group of people to observe, they would not be able to tell much.
Liu Gan did not say anything after Qi Hui agreed. He straightened his body and turned to leave.
Qi Hui pursed his lips as he watched Qi Hui leave. He veered his eyes away and picked up the piece of paper on his desk with a gloomy look in his eyes.
Before long, he put it back in the drawer.

Huo Yao's phone rang in her pocket when she reached the school gates.
She took it out and saw that it was her mother. She answered the call. "Mom."
The moment Song Ning heard her daughter's voice, the cold expression on her face instantly softened. "Yaoyao, are you coming back for the National Day holiday?"
Cheng Ming drove over early in the morning and was waiting for her. Huo Yao replied as she walked over. "It's okay. I only have a few days off, and I'm a little busy right after school starts."
"Alright." Song Ning nodded. She hesitated for two seconds before she asked. "Oh yes. Did anyone come looking for you?"
"Mom, are you referring to the Song family?" Huo Yao had already walked to the side of the road. She nodded politely at Cheng Ming before getting into the car.
Song Ning held her breath. "Have they come looking for you?"
"Uh huh. It happened a few days ago," replied Huo Yao calmly.
"What did they say?" Song Ning was a little annoyed. It was bad enough that her family was looking for her, but now they were looking for her daughter. It was disgusting.
"Nothing much. He just asked me to meet someone, but I didn't go," said Huo Yao honestly.
Song Ning heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Ignore them even if they come looking for you. They are up to no good."
"Okay," replied Huo Yao softly as she caressed the paper bag on her knees.
Song Ning gave him a few more reminders before hanging up the phone.
She sat on the chair with a sullen face for a long time before she picked up her phone again. She found one of the calls and called back.
