Chapter 399: Chapter 388: Denigrating Qiao Jing
This was Miss Qiao cupping for her boss, and then her boss wanted to show it off.
He enthusiastically liked the post and commented exactly what Zhan Qipei wanted to see.
“Wishing the boss and Miss Qiao a hundred years of happiness together!”
But after Zhan Qipei made the post, he didn’t look at his phone again, throwing the phone aside, waiting for the cupping time to pass.
A few minutes later, Qiao Jing removed the cupping jars and quickly cleaned up the tools.
Zhan Qipei quickly stood up, wanting to follow Qiao Jing when, at that moment, the woman had already started walking towards the room.
He pursed his thin lips, remembering Xu Moqian’s words, and deliberately spoke up.
“Are you hungry? Do you want to go out for some late-night snacks?”
Qiao Jing turned around and glanced indifferently at the man.
“No.”
When she got to the room door, ready to get a change of clothes to take a shower, the man followed again.
Zhan Qipei stood at the door, arms folded, and began to imitate Xu Moqian’s tone, with a tinge of jealousy.
“Sister Jing, wanna go out for late-night snacks?”
By now, he already considered Xu Moqian his second biggest love rival.
Xu Moqian actually had the nerve to call in the middle of the night, inviting a married woman out for late-night snacks?
And it was his wife he was asking out for a midnight feast?
Could it be Xu Moqian thought he was dead?
When Qiao Jing heard Zhan Qipei’s words, her body shook violently, and she furrowed her brows.
She walked expressionlessly to the room door, pushed the man out, and closed the room door.
This damn man was jealous again!
And this time he even learned to talk in a sarcastic tone, imitating someone else’s speech?
Usually, she was used to hearing Xu Moqian talk, but when Zhan Qipei, this dog of a man, attempted it, especially with deliberate pauses, she felt goosebumps all over her body.
After a while, when she heard no noise in the living room, she took her clothes and prepared to take a shower.
But as soon as she opened the door, she ran into the man standing right outside.
Zhan Qipei’s dark eyes brightened when he saw Qiao Jing holding clothes in her hand.
“Are you going to take a shower?”
Qiao Jing rolled her eyes in exasperation. Wasn’t that obvious?
She hummed in acknowledgment and headed towards the bathroom.
Zhan Qipei stuck close behind her all the way to the bathroom door.
“After giving me a massage just now, are your hands sore? Can you lift them?”
Qiao Jing looked up at the man, her red lips parting slightly.
“What are you trying to say?”
Zhan Qipei said without a blush or a skip of his heartbeat.
“If your hands are sore, I can help you bathe.”
Qiao Jing was amused and astounded by the earnest expression on Zhan Qipei’s face as he said those words.
This dog of a man truly had no shame.
She simply closed the bathroom door.
She looked at the door of the bathroom; outside the frosted glass, there was still a blurry figure.
Zhan Qipei hadn’t left.
Her confusion grew; while the man was clingy before, he had never been this clingy.
What exactly was up with this dog of a man today?
After completing her shower, she planned to bypass the man and return to her room directly.
Zhan Qipei stepped forward and grabbed the woman’s slender wrist, looking at Qiao Jing with puppy-dog eyes.
Qiao Jing, now beyond irritation, asked helplessly.
“What on earth do you want to do?”
Zhan Qipei straightened his brows and made a request.
“Can you give me a massage again next time?”
After the massage Qiao Jing gave him, he did not want anyone else to massage him.
He decided to preserve his chastity for his wife!
Qiao Jing blinked, her face momentarily blank.
So, after all that, Zhan Qipei wanted her to massage him?
“Alright alright, I agree, okay?”
If she let Zhan Qipei pester her any further, it would soon be ten o’clock. Was she even going to get any sleep?
Only then did Zhan Qipei contentedly let go of Qiao Jing’s hand.
The next morning.
Qiao Jing arrived at the research institute. While she was working, her mobile phone suddenly vibrated.
She furrowed her brows; the friends she had added on WeChat usually did not disturb her while she was at work.
A sudden vibration now—could it be that there was an emergency?
She unlocked her phone and discovered that the source of the vibration was a group chat.
The 20th Agricultural University Professor Group Chat.
This was a group chat for the professors to communicate in the office when she used to work as a professor at the university.
Although she no longer worked at the university, she had not left the group since she had been colleagues with everyone there.
She had already set the chat to “do not disturb”, so if there were messages now, it must be because everyone was being tagged.
When she checked the group chat, she found out that not only had everyone been tagged, but also a new announcement had been posted.
The person who posted the announcement had the group nickname, Gao Lihong.
Qiao Jing pondered for a moment, retrieving the person from her memory.
It was a female professor who had worked in the same office as her previously.
She scrolled through the messages from Gao Lihong.
“I have some good news for everyone. I registered to apply for a professorship at Professor Qiao’s Research Institute and have now passed the first round of interviews.”
The announcement and Gao Lihong’s message were identical as if it were intended to be seen by everyone.
Other professors in the group soon responded to Gao Lihong’s message.
“My gosh! Did I hear that right Lihong, it’s Professor Qiao’s Research Institute?”
Gao Lihong replied with a sentence.

“Right!”
Immediately the group chat blew up.
“Professor Qiao’s Research Institute? And you’ve passed the first round of interviews?”
“I can’t believe it, Lihong, when did you apply behind our backs?”
“Lihong, you’re really amazing. I’ve turned into a lemon spirit. I applied too, but haven’t passed the first round of interviews.”
“When will you start working, Lihong? Remember to tell us, so we can throw a celebration?”
“…”
Gao Lihong waited until they finished sending messages and then picked a few to respond.
“I’ve only passed the first round of interviews, I’m not entering the job so soon. There’s still the second and final round of interviews to get through before I can start working. I’m not that amazing haha~”
Qiao Jing looked down at her phone screen without sending a message.
The research institute indeed seemed to be hiring professors recently, but since she had delegated these matters to Xu Hongzu, she hadn’t paid much attention.
The group chat was still abuzz.
“If you’re not amazing, then who is? You’ve passed the interview at Professor Qiao’s Research Institute!”
“Don’t be modest; I couldn’t even touch the threshold. I’ve heard that Elder Xu was leading the interview sessions!”
“If you’ve passed the first round, surely the second will be no problem either. Rest assured Lihong.”
“Looks like our group will have an agricultural mogul soon!”
“…”
Qiao Jing read Gao Lihong’s messages, all filled with thanks and compliments, and couldn’t help but recall incidents from their time at the university.
Gao Lihong, who usually sought trouble for the sake of it, had not given Qiao Jing a few stumbling blocks.
In the end, however, it was Gao Lihong who suffered the setbacks.
But Qiao Jing could understand why Gao Lihong behaved like that; before Qiao Jing arrived at the university, Gao Lihong had been the most popular female professor there.
