Sticking to Mr.Chairman in This Life-Chapter 349: Inhumanely Cruel

"Want to grab some coffee? Sorry, I’m really busy right now, no time."

The people in the laboratory probably knew what it was about once someone mentioned coffee; they gave each other knowing looks and seemed eager for some drama to unfold.

It looks like the pursuers of Little Ge have lined up from the university all the way to the law firm.

Xu Yang glanced at Su Ge, a flicker of light passing through the depths of his eyes. He didn’t say anything and headed straight to the lab.

"When will you be done? Sorry, I might not get free for quite a while."

Cheng Jinxi, who was organizing contracts everyone handed over, overheard the conversation and instinctively looked up at Su Ge.

"It’s the weekend, but this weekend I..."

Su Ge hadn’t finished speaking when suddenly a hand with distinct knuckles reached out.

Cheng Jinxi had a mild expression, holding the contracts with one hand and reaching out with the other.

Su Ge paused for a moment, without overthinking, handed over her phone directly.

"May I ask, is there anything you need?"

Cheng Jinxi took the phone and placed it to his ear, his magnetic voice lightly asking.

There was a clear pause on the other end.

It took a while before someone spoke, "Are you, Miss Su’s boyfriend?"

Su Ge couldn’t hear what the person on the phone was saying, she just kept watching Cheng Jinxi unblinkingly.

She heard only a light "Mhm" from him, then he promptly hung up.

After hanging up, he casually handed the phone back to Su Ge, then turned to the people in the lab and said, "Today is the weekend; you can arrange your own time. I expect you to complete the experiment in two months and hope to be pleasantly surprised."

After Cheng Jinxi finished speaking, he scanned the various expressions of the group, finally giving Su Ge, who was still staring blankly at him, a deep look before leaving the lab.

"What the heck? Two months?"

"God, this is brutal..."

"I knew there was no such thing as free lunch; that one million won’t be easy to earn..."

"Surprised? What joke is the professor making? Can we even finish the experiment ahead of schedule?"

Everyone complained, yet Su Ge was the only one holding her phone, slightly out of it.

How did the professor manage to get rid of Lawyer Gu with just one sentence?

Lawyer Gu won’t bother her anymore, right?

"Little Ge, what are you daydreaming about? Did you hear that, two months! Do you have confidence?"

"I now realize our professor is becoming more inhumane by the day, setting such a tight schedule; he won’t even let us date."

"Talk about dating? Didn’t you see the professor personally passing Little Ge’s admirer? It’s clear he wants us to focus on the experiment and not think about unrelated stuff."

"What, is that what the professor meant?"

Su Ge was also surprised and looked at Wan Houyi. Was that the professor’s intention?

Did he mean to let her focus on the experiment, so he answered the phone for her?

"What else could it mean? It’s like killing the chicken to scare the monkeys. Think about it, two months is so pressing; the professor is clearly pushing us to our limits."

"God... that’s inhumane..." ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Su Ge felt slightly embarrassed.

These people were full of confidence when they just signed the contract.

"Little Ge, it’s all on you." Suddenly, all eyes turned to her.

Su Ge froze for a moment, "I, um, I need to prepare for my finals, I’ve taken a lot of credits during my freshman and sophomore years, I guess the seniors will have to work a bit harder."

"That’s it, it’s all over..."

As the last hope was dashed, Su Ge put away her phone and went straight back to her own tasks.
