"Ow—" Ji Weitian's head throbbed as she instinctively reached out to grab something, but before she could steady herself, Qin Nanyu had already stepped back smoothly. Her head hit something, and unable to stand firm, Ji Weitian fell straight to the ground.
Two cries of pain followed in succession.
The nearby staff all covered their eyes, unable to bear watching.
Only Qin Nanyu, who could have caught Ji Weitian but instead watched her fall, stared at her unemotionally and coldly added, "Miss Ji can't even walk properly. I'm really curious how you're going to impress me."
Ji Weitian was furious!
She hadn't been this angry since she was born. This inconsiderate, arrogant jerk—was he even human?
The worst part was his tone as he mocked her. It weirdly reminded her of her little darling: "Mommy, you're supposed to be a grown-up. Why can't you even take care of yourself?"
No, no, Ji Weitian got up from the ground, looking up at Qin Nanyu's infuriating face. He wasn't the same as her little darling. Her little darling was concerned for her; Qin Nanyu was genuinely mocking her!
Was he possibly the spawn of the devil?
Yet, she was the one embarrassed now. Ji Weitian really had no face to argue with Qin Nanyu, so she silently noted it down in her little book and turned to contact the project members.
After exhausting herself for an hour, she finally managed to notify everyone in time for Qin Nanyu's schedule.
Qin Technology Group always made a grand gesture.
Sending equipment, inviting people to dinner—everything was done on a grand scale. Despite Qin Nanyu's reputation, when interacting with scientific researchers, he always showed the necessary respect and attentiveness.
A five-star restaurant, exquisite cuisine.
During the meal, Qin Nanyu even personally served the professors several times, addressing each as "mentor," sending shivers down Ji Weitian's spine.
The contrast was too stark. Everything in front of her screamed that Qin Nanyu wasn't really rude; he was just targeting her.
"Weitian, why are you just sitting there? Eat more. You're too thin." Professor Fan, who was sitting closest to Ji Weitian, called her.
He placed a few pieces of meat into her bowl.
Professor Fan was a professor in the Computer Science Department, nearly sixty years old, kind and amiable.
He had spent his life teaching and researching and was one of the most esteemed professors at Jiangcheng University.
This time, he personally brought three of his students from the department to participate in the Qin Technology Group project.
Ji Weitian had once been his student. Hearing his words, she quickly lowered her head to eat.
Out of the corner of her eye, she secretly glanced at the people around the table.
She had seen the list of talents selected by Jiangcheng University for this project. Besides those in Computer Science, there were professors and students from Mathematics and Microelectronics... A total of twelve people, plus the three researchers brought by Qin Nanyu, making the official team members fifteen in all.
These fifteen were exceptionally capable.
From professors to students, they were considered the elite of Jiangcheng University, a dream team, truly.
She felt genuine envy.
Ji Weitian silently muttered to herself, if only she could have these people...
"President Qin... no, I mean Senior, can I use juice to toast you in place of wine?" A clear and lovely voice suddenly resonated in the room.
Ji Weitian looked up to see a fellow younger student, Qian Min, sitting across from her, holding juice and standing up, looking at Qin Nanyu with a face full of admiration.
