She hadn't said a word and was already on the blacklist. What kind of operation was this?
Ji Weitian, puffed up like a pufferfish, snapped back to reality and stepped forward: "Qin Nanyu, what do you mean by this?"
She was the liaison for this project. If she wasn't allowed into the lab, who would handle the communication?
"..."
Qin Nanyu was troubled by Doctor CC's disappearance, and when he heard the researchers around him mention the tricky problems they were encountering in the experiment, he became even more agitated. Just then he saw Ji Weitian. He immediately thought of the scene at the airport where his phone was sent flying by her, and then their later blind date… It seemed that from the moment he met her, nothing good had happened to him.
"This woman is toxic," was the first thought that flashed through Qin Nanyu's mind.
Not letting her into the lab was an instinctive reaction that slipped out. By the time he realized what he had said, he couldn't take it back.
Ji Weitian standing in front of him, looked like an angry little lobster. The well-behaved and tender demeanor she had in front of the academic affairs director was all gone. With her little claws bared, she looked ready to fight him to the death.
"Communication doesn't require entering the lab," Qin Nanyu insisted on his stance. If not for the academic affairs director's insistence on having Ji Weitian as the liaison, he really wouldn't want to see her.
Qin Nanyu ignored Ji Weitian's eyes that were spitting fire. He strolled forward casually, took the list of participants for the project from her hand, quickly skimmed it, and handed it back to her.
"No problems. Contact the people on the list."
"I have a problem," Ji Weitian said, clutching the list, blocking Qin Nanyu's path. She gritted her teeth, "I think you are using official power for personal revenge and have a bias against me."
If she wasn't allowed in the lab, what was she still doing serving his majesty?
Ji Weitian was tempted to throw the contact list at Qin Nanyu's face, to show him what it meant when it's impossible to keep pampered women and petty people.
"Miss Ji, a woman who broke my phone, led my son astray, and ruined my blind date… how do you think I should treat you?" Qin Nanyu looked down seriously at Ji Weitian, his lips slightly parting, pronouncing each word slowly and deliberately.
Ji Weitian was dumbfounded by the question.
She was in a daze for several seconds, almost feeling sympathetic towards Qin Nanyu when she snapped back to her senses, furiously angry.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I paid for your phone's repair, I didn't lead your son astray, as for the blind date, it served you right. Who asked you to falsely accuse me and get me hauled into the police station? It's called retribution!"
Qin Nanyu seemed to have predicted her reaction. Unfazed as ever, he waited for her to finish, before his lips curled slightly, "This is your retribution now."
Ji Weitian: "..." ???!!!
Qin Nanyu lifted his wrist, looked at his watch, "It's five o'clock now. I've reserved a restaurant for six. I want to invite all project members for dinner. You have one hour to contact them. If you're truly eager to get into the lab, then show me your professional skills; otherwise, I can request the school to replace you anytime."
"..."
Ji Weitian could accept losing to anyone, except Qin Nanyu.
Even if it was a provocation, she would take up this task.
Qin Nanyu didn't want to see her, right? Coincidentally, she suddenly liked this project very much now. She would make sure to appear in front of him every day.
Not only would she appear in front of him, but she also wanted to get into the lab and annoy him to death!
Ji Weitian hugged the list tightly, turned, and prepared to leave. As she took a step, she suddenly stepped on a slick leaf. Her foot slipped unexpectedly, and she went falling backward directly into Qin Nanyu's arms!
