While waiting for Nan Yan to hang up the phone, the headmaster still hadn’t quite grasped the situation.
Nan Yan casually put her phone away and said to him, “Come with me later.”
“Whoever tried to fool you, we need to get back at them.”
When it came to protecting those she cared about, Nan Yan was always serious. You could mess with her, but not with the people she cared about.
“Yanyan, it’s just a small matter. It shouldn’t delay your work.”
The headmaster didn’t want Nan Yan to get into trouble. Furthermore, when he asked for someone’s help, it was a matter of their willingness to assist.
He was upset that earlier, the person had happily agreed when he asked for help and even invited him to have a meal together. But just now, during his second call, he heard mockery and arrogance, stating that Nan Yan wouldn’t be allowed to use the laboratory.
Someone was deliberately targeting Nan Yan, and it happened to be the Shen family. So, the headmaster worried that Nan Yan might lose her temper and cause trouble.
Nan Yan looked at him and said quietly, “Headmaster, your phone’s volume was quite loud, and I heard what the other side said just now.”
The headmaster sighed. This kid had quite the temper, and he couldn’t control her.
So, he decided to go with her. In case anything happened, he could intervene in time.
Shen Junqing arrived quickly. Knowing that Nan Yan was waiting for him, he hastily freshened up. He didn’t even style his hair, leaving it messy and soft.
Nan Yan lazily propped her head on her hands and assessed him, “Third
Brother, you look quite energetic today.”
Usually, Shen Junqing was dressed in suits or fashionable attire, essentially a walking peacock and fairy.
Today, due to the rush, he wore casual clothes, and his hairstyle gave him a youthful appearance, making him look several years younger. You could almost believe someone who said he was still in college.
“Let’s consider it as you praising me, Yanyan.”
“But, sis, why do you need to use the laboratory?”
“I need to prepare some reagents, and they are of a higher grade, not something an ordinary laboratory can handle.”
It wasn’t something she needed to hide or disguise. Besides, she didn’t mind if people watched her while she prepared T-1. Without the correct formula, no one could replicate it. Even a tiny variation in quantities could drastically affect the final product’s effectiveness. That was why, even with her reagents and the formula in disarray, no one had successfully replicated it in all these years.
Shen Junqing clicked his tongue and couldn’t help but ask, “Yanyan, I’m curious, what else do you know?”
Racing, esports, computers, top student, gambling skills, medical expertise…
Now, you could add “expert in experiments.”
What kind of luck had he stumbled upon to meet her, and she even regarded him as her brother?
The headmaster was equally curious. Nan Yan’s displayed abilities were indeed astonishing. They wondered why she had pretended not to know anything in the past. Fortunately, she was no longer hiding her true capabilities.
“You should be asking me what I don’t know,” Nan Yan replied casually. “Let’s go to the laboratory first. We can discuss other matters later.”
“Alright, let’s go. Third Brother will take you to the laboratory first.”
Inside the laboratory,
Meng Decheng looked at Shen Wu with flattery in his eyes. “Second Young
Master, that little girl must be really angry by now.”
Shen Wu, sitting with his legs crossed in the boss’s chair, emitted a cold snort from his nose.
Meng Decheng was the person the headmaster had contacted earlier. He held a significant role in this laboratory and had some influence.
The headmaster and Meng Decheng were considered friends, though their friendship came second to the boss. They weren’t very close, just having shared a few meals together.
However, when it came to pleasing the boss and gaining favor, the friendship was less important.
“But, Second Young Master, how did a high school student manage to offend you?” Meng Decheng asked.
Shen Wu replied gloomily, “She’s in cahoots with that waste, Shen Junqing. She even injured my hand last time. This is just the beginning.”
It had taken him several days to heal the injury on his hand. He had been planning to trouble her, but she had come to him on her own.
Meng Decheng suggested, “But if that’s the case, Second Young Master, I think you should agree to let her come. It might be a better way to teach her a lesson.”
Shen Wu raised an eyebrow, “Oh? How so?”
“You could agree to let her come first, and then while she’s conducting experiments, deliberately make her make a mistake, and then demand compensation for the losses!”
Shen Wu hadn’t considered this angle, and now that Meng Decheng had brought it up, he regretted it.
Meng Decheng pondered for a moment and asked, trying to please him, “Should I call Yu Xiwen (the headmaster) right now and tell him that she can come and do experiments?”
Shen Wu gave him a sidelong glance, “You just arrogantly played him just now, would he listen to you?”
“Let’s give it a try. I heard Yu Xiwen say earlier that the girl seems quite anxious. She searched through all the laboratories in Jincheng and couldn’t find a suitable one, so she came to me for help.”
“A phone call won’t hurt, and he’s someone who cares deeply about students.
He probably won’t mind.”
Shen Wu was somewhat tempted, “Then contact him again and see if she’s still coming. ”
With Shen Wu’s consent, Meng Decheng called the headmaster again.
Then, he turned on the speakerphone so that Nan Yan could listen as well.
“Old Yu, I’ve pleaded with the boss on your behalf, and he finally agreed to lend you the laboratory. Are you still coming?” Meng Decheng’s tone carried a hint of condescension.
The headmaster, though irritated, looked at Nan Yan and asked her through lip movements what to do.
Nan yan pondered tor a moment and nodded, signaling mm to agree.
Seeing Nan Yan’s approval, the headmaster thanked Meng Decheng a few times and said they would be there shortly.
Shen Junqing, with a thoughtful expression, asked Nan Yan, “Yanyan, something happened before I came, right?”
If nothing had happened, she wouldn’t have called him over. If he remembered correctly, this laboratory was one of Shen Wu’s managed businesses.
Nan Yan didn’t deny it and casually said, “There’s a free show to watch later, but to ensure it proceeds smoothly, how about I help you with some makeup, Third Brother?”
“Sure, where can we do it?”
Nan Yan didn’t have the habit of carrying cosmetics with her.
She happened to see a cosmetics store nearby, so she pulled him and went straight in…
