Ji Weitian, "???"
Did she just let her inner thoughts slip out again in a moment of excitement?
Fortunately, Qin Nanyu's gaze merely brushed past her and shifted elsewhere, and everyone's attention quickly moved away from Ji Weitian.
She silently exhaled a breath, and after a moment, she realized that she might have been played!
Qin Nanyu did it on purpose...
But how did he know she was just cursing him?
Ji Weitian was so tired her head was spinning. She reached up to rub her temples, sent Qin Nanyu off, and dragged her exhausted body back to the office.
As soon as she sat down and turned on the computer, a message popped up on her screen's chat software.
Leng Jian: [I received the email you sent me yesterday. The new project I got for you is in the email. See if you're interested.]
Ji Weitian moved the mouse, clicked open the email, and upon seeing the program content inside, her lazy eyes instantly became sharp.
She turned her head to glance around, confirmed there was no one in her office, and quickly reached out to slide open the keyboard. Her ten fingers danced nimbly over the keys. For a moment, the only sound in the vast office of the academic office was the clattering of the keyboard.
The speed was so fast and the sound so dense it felt like a dozen people were working simultaneously.
In less than a minute, Ji Weitian's hands stopped.
The light in her eyes dimmed as she removed her hands from the keyboard, picked up the phone, and dialed Leng Jian, "I won't take this project. It's too superficial and doesn't require my skills at all. Real AI technology isn't as simple as they think."
"Okay, I understand. I'll turn it down for you." Leng Jian, without wasting words, decisively respected her opinion.
Hearing Ji Weitian's voice sound a bit off and more irritable than usual, he couldn't help but ask, "Cindy, are you in a bad mood today?"
Ji Weitian, "..."
More than just bad, it was downright terrible.
She'd been under a dark cloud all day, living in hell, thirsty and hungry, losing money without any relief.
Speaking of hunger, Ji Weitian's stomach growled involuntarily. She shut down the computer, packed her things, and walked out with her phone in hand, "It's nothing. I just ran into a bad omen today and had a string of bad luck. I don't think it's a good day for me to go to the lab either; I'll send you the data updates we discussed in a couple of days."
"Bad omen?" Leng Jian wanted to ask more but, hearing the weariness in Ji Weitian's voice, awkwardly stopped speaking, reminded her to go home early to rest, and hung up the phone.
Ji Weitian was the last to leave the academic office. By the time she got home, Little Glutinous Rice Dumpling was waiting at the door holding a cat.
Her obedient and adorable manner made Ji Weitian's heart melt. She was just about to hug her when Little Glutinous Rice Dumpling dodged her arms, stepped back two steps, lifted her sweet, delicate little face, and asked with a bossy tone.
"Mommy, you spent quite a lot of small money today. Were you secretly going on a date without telling me?"
Ji Weitian, "???"
A date? With a devil?
"Have you finally decided to find me a daddy?" Little Glutinous Rice Dumpling's eyes blinked sparklingly.
Ji Weitian, "..."!!
"Sweetheart, about the money, I can explain..."
But Little Glutinous Rice Dumpling was no longer listening to explanations. She hugged Fatty in her arms and ran to her little room, only to run back out after a while.
She held a magazine in her hand, and on the deluxe edition cover was Qin Nanyu's flawless face.
"Does the new daddy look as good as this Uncle? I like this Uncle!"
