After stopping being a simp, the school heartthrob cried and begged to get back together.

Chapter Ninety-Nine: Believe it or not, I'll fire you!

The schedule for the leaders' inspection was set for three days later.

Wang Jing sent someone to the lab to urge me to send the data and information over.

Of course, I didn't send it over; instead, I kept putting it off, using the excuse that it wasn't ready yet.

The next day, he kept calling to urge me.

I sneered, "The funding hasn't arrived yet. I don't even have money for food, let alone the energy to organize the data. Let's wait a bit longer."

"Shen Yan, let me tell you, this is a big deal. If you mess this up, believe me, I'll fire you!" Wang Jing threatened.

I smiled coldly: "So what if you get fired? You don't even have money for food. You might as well quit this lousy job."

Seeing that I wasn't worried at all, Wang Jing gritted his teeth and said, "The school is indeed facing difficulties; you should be more understanding."

"Can understanding feed you?" I retorted. "I can't even fill my stomach, let alone understand."

"I'll give you five million first," Wang Jing said, backing down.

"I won't send a single word until I see 20 million." I hung up the phone.

They must be in a terrible mess right now.

Using your superiors to pressure me won't work.

At this time, in the principal's office.

Wang Jing was also extremely anxious: "Old Xu, what do you suggest we do?"

Xu Zhen said with a sullen face, "I didn't expect the leaders to come for an inspection at this time. We clearly agreed that it would be around New Year's Day."

“I gave all the designated funds to Xiao Wei, but when the leaders came that day, they couldn’t produce any data. How am I supposed to explain this?” Wang Jing sat in his chair, his brows furrowed.

They originally planned to gradually obtain the information from Shen Yan before New Year's Day, but now it's too late.

Xu Zhen was also a little nervous, but he remained relatively calm: "Principal, since that's the case, it seems we have no choice but to take a gamble."

Wang Jing frowned: "How do we bet?"

Xu Zhen gave a cold laugh: "Didn't I tell you? Shen Yan has my people by her side."

-

It's quiet at night.

Dai Chen'an got up to leave the laboratory.

He came out of the office and found that the computer on one of the workstations was still lit up.

"Team Leader Dai, you haven't left yet?" Luo Wenbin came out of the break room, holding a cup of coffee in his hand.

"Why aren't you going back yet?" Dai Chen'an asked in surprise. "It's Friday today. Everyone was saying they were going on dates. You finally got back to Xinjing City, aren't you going on a date with your girlfriend?"

“My girlfriend’s mother keeps urging us to get married. How can I dare to get married without buying a house? I’d probably just argue when we meet. I’m thinking of working overtime to earn some money,” Luo Wenbin explained.

"Don't overwork yourself. Health is the foundation of your body." Dai Chen'an patted his shoulder. "If you're really having trouble, just talk to Shen Yan. She'll definitely help you."

"You've helped me a lot, I'm so embarrassed to keep troubling you." Luo Wenbin felt bad about it.

"You can decide for yourself." Dai Chen'an didn't press the matter. "I'm leaving now. Remember to lock the door when you leave."

“Okay.” Luo Wenbin agreed: “Team Leader Dai, I need the experimental data from the day before yesterday. I have a set of data here that doesn’t match.”

“The data is uploaded to Shen Yan’s computer every day, and then everyone’s data is deleted. I have something to do, so how about this, you take my card to her office to look at it.” Dai Chen’an handed him the card: “Remember, you can only look at it, you can’t do anything else.”

"Don't worry, I know the rules," Luo Wenbin smiled.

Dai Chen'an is gone.

Luo Wenbin looked at the ID card in his hand with a complicated expression. He took a deep breath and walked towards Shen Yan's office.

Monday morning.

Wang Jing and others went to the entrance of the office building to greet them.

Two black Hongqi sedans were parked downstairs.

Several men in suits got out of the car.

The leader was a man in his fifties. He was tall and slender, and although he had some gray hair at his temples, he was still full of energy. His physique was completely different from that of Wang Jing and the others who were pot-bellied.

"Director Li, hello." Wang Jing shook Li Shuochuan's hand.

Li Shuochuan said calmly, "Principal Wang, please don't stand on ceremony. Take me to the laboratory."

"Director Li, won't you come up for a seat?" Wang Jing asked, still a little nervous.

"No need." Li Shuochuan shook his head indifferently: "I'm not here for tea."

"Yes, yes, this way please." Although Wang Jing was a principal and held a high position, he was still very humble in front of Li Shuochuan, the Minister of Education.

They walked toward the laboratory.

Wang Jing smiled and said, "You see, this new laboratory is very close to the teaching building, office building, canteen and so on. Working here can ensure that these researchers can make effective use of their time."

Li Shuochuan nodded.

Wang Jing led him and the others inside.

Xiao Wei and her entourage came forward to greet him: "Good day, Director Li."

She was a little nervous.

She had met Li Shuochuan a few times before, during meetings.

Li Shuochuan exudes an air of authority; when he is silent, he can be described as cold and ruthless.

"Why is it you?" Li Shuochuan frowned slightly.

Xiao Wei was taken aback: "Director Li, let me show you around."

Li Shuochuan frowned and said nothing.

Wang Jing gave Xiao Wei a meaningful look.

Xiao Wei quickly led the way.

The new laboratory is indeed very well built, and it meets the requirements.

"Director Li, look, this is the new laboratory equipment that arrived." Xiao Wei introduced with a smile, "With this, our experiments will be faster and more convenient."

"Do you know how to use it?" Li Shuochuan asked.

"I know how to use it," Xiao Wei said.

Li Shuochuan looked at it and said, "Then you can use it and let me see."

Xiao Wei paused.

She doesn't know how to use it.

She only said that because Li Shuochuan asked her.

Moreover, she had looked it up and found that the device was indeed very complex.

"We bought you new equipment, but you don't know how to use it. Is it just for decoration?" Li Shuochuan asked coldly. "Do you know how much effort the higher-ups put into getting this equipment?"

"Director Li, it's just that our experiment hasn't reached the point where we need to use it yet," Wang Jing explained.

“Principal Wang, do you know what you’re saying?” Li Shuochuan said coldly, “The report you gave us clearly states that this is absolutely necessary, and we will use it immediately as soon as the equipment arrives. Otherwise, what do you think I’m here for? Just to see all this formalism you’re putting on?”

Wang Jing looked embarrassed and looked at Xiao Wei seriously: "Xiao Wei, listen to what Director Li has to say. Your progress is too slow."

“Principal Wang, actually our work is progressing quite quickly. Look, this is our data.” Xiao Wei handed a document to Li Shuochuan.

I silently prayed that this data would help me pass the test.

Li Shuochuan glanced at it and threw it on the table: "Do you guys think I'm easy to fool?"

Wang Jing and Xiao Wei were both stunned for a moment.

"Director Li, what makes you say that?" Wang Jing asked nervously.

“Principal Wang, what did I tell you back then? Who is this new laboratory for?” Li Shuochuan’s eyes were icy.

Wang Jing said nervously, "Director Li, listen to me. Actually, Shen Yan didn't want to use this place. She voluntarily gave the new laboratory to Xiao Wei."
