Xie Xinyao and the others asked him impatiently, "Senior Brother Cao, does the dean have time to see us?"
Cao Yanhua shook his head regretfully. "Teacher asked the dean. The dean is eating with a friend and doesn't have time to see us today."
Xie Xinyao's emotions were written all over her face. Compared to the others, who were only slightly regretful, she was clearly a little disappointed.
"The dean's friend is eating here too?" Xie Xinyao asked.
"I don't know about that." Cao Yanhua pulled out a chair and sat down with a straight face. He didn't pay much attention to the dean's private matters.
Xie Xinyao quietly clenched her fists and said to herself, "I heard from the elders in my family that the dean rarely socializes with people not from the First Research Institute. I don't know who he's dining with today. I didn't see any of the people in charge of the research institute."
Xie Xinyao thought of someone after she finished speaking.
