Qi Hui's questions came off sounding as though Huo Yao had done something wrong.
Huo Yao tilted her head sideways and looked at Qi Hui coldly without responding.
Qi Hui shook his head speechlessly. "Do you think you can get cocky because the institute is interested in your research project? The institute has far higher status than Tsing University. Do you know the consequences of offending someone from the institute?"
"Mr. Qi." Mr. Jin did not like Qi Hui's tone of voice when he questioned Huo Yao, so he interrupted Qi Hui.
Qi Hui glanced at Mr. Jin. "You don't understand. She is… Sigh. Never mind. I can't be bothered helping her."
The moment he finished his sentence, he veered his eyes away from Huo Yao and walked off.
The atmosphere instantly felt very awkward, but Mr. Jin felt Huo Yao was not a rash young woman. He simply cleared his throat and explained. "Mr. Wei looked annoyed when he came over."
