Bai Songquan stared at Fang Xu's back: "I really want to put a sack on him and beat him up!"

"Okay." Bai Xiangran patted his brother's shoulder, "Don't let the children laugh at you."

Bai Xiangran knew that at this moment, she was the backbone of the team. She couldn't panic or get emotional, so she looked at the students again and said comfortingly, "It's okay, you all go back to your posts."

The students looked at each other in bewilderment: "Teacher Bai, are you really okay?"

"If you have anything to tell us."

"Is Teacher Fang still making things difficult for you because of Jiayi's matter?"

These students were all Bai Xiangran’s former students. Some of them worked under her when they were studying for their master’s degrees, and some of them went to work at Xinguang after completing their master’s and doctoral degrees. They knew that she would no longer be a teacher and would go to work at Xinguang as a research and development director. All workers who have suffered know that it is very important to follow the right leader.

"Don't think too much. I've already left school. How can he embarrass me? The most important thing now..." Bai Xiangran stopped a student with one hand, "We should win the renewable energy project together. Do you have confidence?"

The students looked at each other and said in unison: "Yes!"

"Okay." Bai Xiangran patted the students on the back and encouraged them, "Go ahead and do your work. I'm going to the bathroom."

Bai Xiangran left her booth and did not go to the bathroom. Instead, she found a secluded corner where no one was to adjust her mentality. She didn't even have time to cry and could only wipe her tears silently.

Just then, a pack of tissues was handed to her. She looked up hurriedly and saw a pretty and elegant girl, followed by a cold and gloomy man.

She was relieved when she was sure that it wasn't her student and that the children didn't see her in such a mess.

Unexpectedly, the little girl suddenly called out "Teacher Bai", which instantly made Bai Xiangran's heart rise to his throat.

"Do you know me?" Bai Xiangran looked at the girl in surprise. She was sure that she had never seen her before.

"My name is Jiang Ruochu, and I'm Zhong Jiayi's..." Jiang Ruochu thought of what she had just seen, and changed her friend's identity to "distant cousin", because this identity was obviously more suitable for inquiring.

Bai Xiangran wiped away her tears immediately: "You are actually Jiayi's cousin? Your family has really good genes, and all of them are beautiful women. Why did you want to come to me?"

"Entrusted by others."

Bai Xiangran was stunned.

Jiang Ruochu handed the bound graduation thesis to Bai Xiangran: "My cousin borrowed my computer to write something before, and when I was organizing it recently, I found that this should be her thesis? She always told me that Teacher Bai took good care of her when she was studying. It just so happened that her graduation time was almost the same as Teacher Bai's birthday, so she wanted to give you the most perfect graduation thesis as a gift."

"Although she has passed away, I would like to hand this paper to you, which will also be her wish."

Bai Xiangran's eyes became moist again when she heard this. She took a deep breath and wiped her eyes with a tissue: "This child is thoughtful, and you are thoughtful too, even personally delivering the paper to her."

After Bai Xiangran finished speaking, he lowered his head and flipped through Zhong Jiayi's paper.

The more she read, the more excited she became. The more she read, the more regretful she felt. She couldn't help but tighten her grip on the paper: "If she were still alive, she would definitely have a bright future."

"What a pity... What a pity..." Bai Xiangran's throat tightened and she couldn't help choking. She was sad not only for Zhong Jiayi, but also for herself.

Bai Xiangran turned around and said, "Sorry, I lost my composure a little."

Jiang Ruochu asked softly, "Are you in any trouble?"

"Maybe you can talk to me. Even if I can't help, you can treat me as someone to talk to. Tell me everything, at least you can feel better."

Zhong Jiayi comes from an ordinary family, and as her cousin, it is impossible for her to say "I can help", so Jiang Ruochu can only pretend to be a listener.

"And I just heard vaguely that the trouble you encountered seems to be related to my cousin?" Jiang Ruochu showed a concerned expression, "I want to know what happened even more."

Jiang Ruochu's voice seems to have a magical power that can make people let down their guard.

Bai Xiangran turned around and sighed, "I was thinking of your cousin, and I also thought that there are many people in this world who have the same experience as your cousin, but I can't do anything about it, so I feel a little sad."

Bai Xiangran looked at the bright lights in the exhibition hall, his eyes seemed to be fixed on a distant place, and then he slowly told the story of Zhong Jiayi.

Zhong Jiayi's parents are honest farmers who have been dealing with farming all their lives. Although her family is poor, her parents never compromise on her studies. Her parents' biggest dream is that she can get out of the small mountain village and make a name for herself.

Zhong Jiayi lived up to her parents' expectations and always did well in her studies. Later, when she was admitted to graduate school and studied under the well-known tutor Fang Xu, her whole family was overjoyed. In fact, graduate school was a huge financial burden for a family like hers, but her parents were very open-minded and supported her to continue her studies. They even put her admission letter in a frame and mounted it.

But no one knew that this was the beginning of Zhong Jiayi's nightmare life.

Zhong Jiayi's dream postgraduate life is to follow industry leaders and become more specialized and skilled in her profession. If possible, she would like to continue her studies to get a doctorate.

But Fang Xu treated her like a beast of burden.
