Chapter 636 - Back

Li Xuelei and Liu Xiu felt that they were hearing things.

How did all the big shots in these research institutes hear the news? And what’s more, they were actually willing to help?

The two of them looked at each other and gulped. “F-fake, right?”

However, following that, they saw that those big shots who were so mysterious that they had only heard of their names and had never seen them before were rushing over.

Some of them were travel-worn and looked like they had just gotten off the plane. Some of them were overjoyed and looked ecstatic.

One by one, they entered Xue Xi’s office.

There were big names from the field of Physics and there were also people from the Chemistry world. All kinds of industry representatives were here to help Sister Xi complete the project within half a month!

With these people joining, the entire project instantly became the focus of China.

Li Xuelei and Liu Xiu’s small project was entirely ignored.

...

Li Xuelei and Liu Xiu stood there every day and stared at those big shots. After those people joined the laboratory, the entire laboratory became even busier and more structured.

Xue Xi only needed to issue the tasks for each group and the big shots would definitely be able to complete them perfectly. Moreover, these big shots would often gather together to discuss the results and forcefully advance the progress of the project.

In the past few days, Li Man’s voice had become stronger. When he walked past Liu Xiu, he would snort and look up.

Every time he looked at Liu Xiu’s eager eyes, Li Man would say, “Are you envious?”

Liu Xiu: “...”

Meanwhile, those who had originally left with Liu Xiu were filled with regret. What was 10,000 yuan to them? To be able to work with so many big shots, this was a chance that they would never get in their entire lives!

After leaving the school, as long as they said the name of one of the moguls, that’s all they needed in their resume!

Some people secretly looked for Li Man or Li Xuekai, asking them to say a few words in front of Sister Xi. They wanted to come back, but they were all rejected.

For example, Liu Xiu. “Brother, look. When I first transferred, I was also thinking of asking you to come over. Can you help me have a good chat with Sister Xi so I could ask her if I could go back?”

Li Man sneered. “Go back? What happens to the bet if you go back? How are you going to apologize?”

Liu Xiu instantly said, “This is Li Xuelei’s bet. It has nothing to do with me. Brother, I’m the one who was beaten up. I only fought back. Can you let me go back?”

Li Man glanced over his... back and smiled. “Li Xuelei, do you see that? This is the person you recruited. First he betrayed Sister Xi, and now he’s betraying you!”

Liu Xiu jumped in shock and turned around abruptly. He saw Li Xuelei standing behind him and staring at him.

Li Xuelei sneered. “Why? Do you want to go back and be an underling that much? It seems that you don’t want to be the leader of the physics team anymore. In that case, from today onwards, you’re only a member of the physics team!”

Liu Xiu: “No, Boss Li, listen to my explanation. I...”

Unfortunately, Li Xuelei did not listen. He turned around and left.

Li Man mocked, “Liu Xiu, do you know what the bosses hate the most? It’s to have a heart in hell! I advise you to calm down and work hard!”

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave when Liu Xiu suddenly said, “Li Man! What right do you have to say that? Don’t you know what abilities you have? In Sister Xi’s project, you’re at most an assistant. Do you really think you’re that useful?! Who do you think you are? Go ask Sister Xi and see if she can do it without you!”

His words made Li Man’s pupils constrict.

As a third-year student, he did not play a crucial role in this project. The physics team’s problem was solved by Sister Xi.

Now, the physics team was also being run under the hands of other big shots. He sometimes doubted himself.

Hence, Liu Xiu’s words pierced his heart.

Was he useful?

At this moment, a cold and indifferent voice sounded. “We can’t do without him.”

Five words.

It was sonorous and powerful, but it seemed to have injected a cardiac stimulant into one’s heart!

Li Man suddenly turned around and saw Xue Xi walking over slowly. “Senior, you’re very important to this project.”

Li Man instantly smiled.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The two of them ignored Liu Xiu and turned to leave.

On the other hand, Liu Xiu was so envious that he gritted his teeth. When he returned to Li Xuelei’s project, he had just entered when he was kicked by Li Xuelei. “Instead of working hard, why are you being lazy? Let me tell you, if you continue to play tricks, I’ll fire you!”

Liu Xiu stared blankly at Li Xuelei. Looking at his exasperated expression, he suddenly recalled how Sister Xi had defended Li Man just now.

The red-haired girl had walked over quietly. It seemed that as long as Li Man turned around, she would always be standing there.

...

At the same time.

Overseas.

Professors Derry and Thor were chatting with Nicholas Xiu.

Thor said, “This light source project is difficult in theory, but the real difficulty lies in the handling of the details, which constitutes the integration of the hardware. Currently, China’s technology is still unable to reach such a low sensitivity. Their computer technology is still unable to support the production of such a detailed tool model.”

Derry said, “Yes, this kind of tool that is even more meticulous than other machines is completely under our monopoly. They don’t have any information to build it and can only rely on innovative research. That won’t be possible to accomplish within three years. However, back then, there was a robot-like person in China who personally did it and the result was more accurate than a computer. I’m just afraid that China will send this person to this group of people.”

The moment he said this, Nicholas Xiu smiled. “How can that be? Do you guys think that espers with mechanical hands can be found anywhere? There are only a few in the entirety of China. Moreover, how would such people end up doing scientific research? That’s too wasteful!”

There were only about a thousand espers in China, and there were only a few thousand people in the entire world.

These people were as precious as pandas. How could they waste such resources on scientific research? They had more important missions to do.

Moreover, espers were proud and arrogant. An esper who was more powerful than ordinary people felt that they were God. They gathered people that would listen to them. They relied on their own strength. How could they do such things as research?

Just as he said this, his subordinate suddenly reported, “Earl, he has returned to the capital.”

Nicholas was stunned for a moment before saying calmly, “So what if he’s gone back? Could it be that he will lead his subordinates to do scientific research for Xue Xi? This is too absurd and laughable!”

“Hahaha!”

Derry and Thor also smiled.

The two big shots respected espers very much.

However, the subordinate’s face instantly revealed an indescribable expression. “That...”
