Chapter 638 - King of Jealousy Huai


Chapter 638: King of Jealousy, Huai

Li Zixia rushed in gloatingly. “Sister Xi, I’m telling you, the research and development project next door has a security breach! Ha! They’re currently investigating who had leaked the information. It’s fine if they investigate, but there are actually quite a few suspects!”

Li Zixia had long disliked Li Xuelei. When she heard this, she hurriedly came over to tell everyone.

She thought that everyone would be as happy as her if they heard it, but she did not expect them to look in the same direction after hearing it.

Li Zixia looked over and realized that everyone was looking at… Zheng Zhi?

What up with this inflexible guy?

Zheng Zhi felt his cheeks burning as though he had been slapped!

Li Xuekai took the chance to say, “Didn’t something happen?”

Zheng Zhi’s face darkened. “If something happens, just pay up!”

Li Zixia smiled. “What’s there to compensate? There’s no evidence even if they capture a few people. Moreover, their families are not well-to-do. Even if they sell their houses, they can’t afford to compensate! Moreover, the things that each of them revealed are nothing. It’s not considered breaking the rules. The mastermind was very shrewd. They bribed a few people, and by piecing together the bits of information they provided, one can deduce their research direction! Therefore, strictly speaking, those few people were really not leaking information. Li Xuelei’s anger is useless now!”

Li Xuekai looked at Zheng Zhi again. “As the saying goes, virtue is one foot tall, the devil ten foot. There will always be someone who will want to earn money from the loopholes in the rules.”

Zheng Zhi: “…”

He could no longer say anything bad about Xue Xi and stiffly changed the topic. “Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s talk about how to produce the equipment now!”

The entire equipment had to be handed over to a specialized factory for production, but the most detailed chip section had to be very fine.

China’s current electronic technology could not produce such a small product.

They had working knowledge on how to do it, but as for really producing them, that was difficult.

Seeing that she had nothing else to do, Li Zixia sneaked out to continue listening to the commotion, but the people in the room fell silent.

At this moment, Yu Da said, “I’ll do it myself.”

The moment he said this, everyone in the room turned to look at him.

Li Xuekai did not know about the existence of espers. He said in surprise, “Can your precision be higher than a machine’s?”

Yu Da vaguely explained, “Mhm, our family’s skills are passed down.”

Although Li Xuekai did not understand, he respected craftspeople. He knew that there was indeed someone in this world who could be more precise than a machine. Hence, he nodded. “I’m impressed.”

Zheng Zhi, on the other hand, frowned. “But there are more than a hundred things to be made for such an instrument. Right now, we need to mass-produce the equipment and prepare at least dozens of them. If you’re alone, no matter how fast you are, when can you put them to use?”

Just as he said that, he heard a cold voice. “Then what about these people?”

Following this voice, Xue Xi’s eyes lit up. She looked up and saw the man pushing open the door and walking in.

The man was still wearing a black shirt and black pants. After a month away, he seemed to have slimmed down even more. His facial features were more firm and sharp, and his entire person was taller and straighter.

He seemed to have gone through a field survival ordeal. His entire body exuded a sharp aura, causing the atmosphere in the room to instantly become depressed.

Zheng Zhi did not even dare to breathe. During the month that his boss was not around, he had even forgotten his boss’s instructions not to mock Xue Xi. His boss had heard it again.

Seeing his cold expression, Zheng Zhi felt his blood freeze.

However, at this moment, Xue Xi stood up and looked at him with her beautiful eyes. There was a rare relaxed and happy expression on her face. “You’re back, huh?”

The word “huh” made her words sound even more coquettish.

The man’s hostility instantly disappeared and was replaced by a smile as warm as the spring breeze. Xiang Huai, who had been looking coldly at Zheng Zhi earlier, now looked at Xue Xi warmly and said, “I missed you.”

Xue Xi: “…”

Zheng Zhi, who had just survived: “…”

He suddenly stood up and was about to respectfully address him when…

Xiang Huai shot him a glance and did not speak. Instead, he pointed at the handful of people outside and said to Xue Xi, “When I first arrived, I bumped into them. They said that they’re here to help you.”

Xue Xi looked at them.

She had seen one of them in the special department.

She asked, “Who are you?”

One of them walked forward and said, “We were sent by Boss. We are all…”

At this point, he saw that there were so many people in the room. He swallowed the words “mechanical hands” and said, “Craftspeople.”

Xue Xi: “…Oh.”

So they were sent by her teacher, Omnipotent Boss. It seemed that they were all mechanical hands.

No one in the room spoke for a moment. Xiang Huai shot a glance at Zheng Zhi, and the latter suddenly stood up. “Ah, since there are so many… craftspeople, let’s cut the crap and start quickly! A day is a day!”

After saying so, Zheng Zhi led the rest out.

In the end, only Ji Silin, Xue Xi, and Xiang Huai were left in the room.

After staring at Ji Silin for a while, Xiang Huai purposely sat down beside Xue Xi and wrapped his arm around her shoulders. “Little kid, I missed you so much.”

Xue Xi: “…Let go. Brother Silin is still here!”

Xiang Huai shot a glance at Ji Silin. Seeing that he was pursing his lips and keeping a straight face, he did not stop what he was doing. Instead, he smiled and said, “Brother Silin is not an outsider. What are you afraid of?”

He purposely emphasized the word “brother.”

Ji Silin: “…”

Ji Silin sighed silently and stood up. “Xixi, I’ll leave first.”

Before Xue Xi could speak, Xiang Huai said, “Alright. The little kid is busy, so she won’t send you off.”

“…”

Ji Silin pushed his gold-framed spectacles and the lenses reflected light. He lowered his eyes and walked dejectedly to the door.

After pushing open the door and leaving, he turned around and saw that Xue Xi did not even look at him through the glass door.

Ji Silin lowered his head and turned to leave.

In the private room.

Hearing Brother Silin’s voice as he walked out, Xue Xi was just about to turn around to look when she heard Xiang Huai’s low “Sss.” He shouted, “It hurts.”

Xue Xi’s attention was instantly attracted. “What’s wrong? Are you injured?”

Xiang Huai clutched his chest. “Mhm. I had to undergo survival in the wild and was wounded by a wild beast.”

Xue Xi panicked when she heard the word “wounded.” “Where? Take off your clothes and let me see…”

Xiang Huai spread out his hands and allowed Xue Xi to unbutton his shirt. He smiled and said, “Don’t be anxious…”
