章 23: Chapter 23 Marry a Pig or a Dog but Not Qin Nanyu
編集者: Dragon Boat Translation
Ji Weitian had a headache.
She had been feeling frustrated all day. Just when she finally got rid of that jinx, Qin Nanyu, why wouldn't the heavens leave her alone?
Ji Weitian took a deep breath, accepted the magazine from Little Glutinous Rice Dumpling's hand, and promptly slapped it over Qin Nanyu's face on the cover. She earnestly educated her daughter, "Honey, you know you can't judge a book by its cover, right? Just because someone looks good doesn't mean they're a good person. Take, for instance, this uncle you mentioned. Some people look pleasing to the eye, but in reality, they might be a huge jerk!"
She would rather marry a pig or a dog than Qin Nanyu!
"But, I just like pretty uncles." Xiao Xingyao pouted, snatched back her magazine featuring her idol, hugged it to her chest, and, upset that her idol was being disliked, retorted to educate Ji Weitian instead, "You should come home on time after work, okay? Or else I'll worry. Mommy, you're already an adult; you need to learn to take care of yourself."
Ji Weitian: "???"
"Meow——" Fatty chimed in with a meow and leaped down from the cabinet by the door, following her little master into the room with lazy cat steps.
Ji Weitian felt a mental and emotional blow, with the culprit being none other than Qin Nanyu.
She was at odds with him!
No, she never wanted to see Qin Nanyu again in this lifetime. Now that the hosting task was over, she doubted she'd see him again.
With that thought, Ji Weitian felt much better, lazily placed her bag on the sofa, and turned to console the sulking Little Glutinous Rice Dumpling.
The anniversary event at Jiangcheng University lasted about a week. The day it ended, Ji Weitian went out to celebrate with her colleagues from the academic office. During the gathering, she heard the director mention that Qin Nanyu had agreed to provide the most advanced laboratory equipment to his alma mater. Her eyes suddenly lit up!
She wanted to ask for more details, but the director changed the subject, praising Qin Nanyu, this proud alumnus, to everyone. The constant praise made Ji Weitian sleepy, and in the end, she found no opportunity to ask for specifics before the dinner concluded.
The next day at the school, just as she was set to inquire further, the academic director saw her and spoke first, "Weitian, the equipment from Qin Technology Group will arrive at the school today. Since you suggested it, why don't you be responsible for receiving and checking this batch?"
Ji Weitian agreed without hesitation and dashed towards the laboratory building.
Talk about a wealthy corporation! Such expensive equipment was sent at just a word, and it arrived promptly.
When Ji Weitian reached the laboratory building, several trucks were already parked downstairs; all were delivering equipment from Qin Technology Group.
In addition to what Ji Weitian had requested, Qin Technology Group had thrown in several newly developed machines, which were not just a matter of money but rare, priceless items!
Ji Weitian couldn't have been happier. She stood right in front, coordinating with the delivery staff to move the equipment into the laboratory building.
"Gently, gently, don't bump it…"
"Thank you for your hard work, just leave this machine here…"
"The rest should all go to the last laboratory."
Standing at the laboratory door, Ji Weitian saw it filled with the latest equipment and smiled radiantly, taking the delivery note from the staff and signing it briskly.
The staff kept the note, "All the machines have been delivered. The installation and testing technicians will contact the school in the next couple of days."
Ji Weitian was about to say it wasn't necessary, as she could handle it herself, when she caught a glimpse of the academic director downstairs at the laboratory building, along with Qin Nanyu standing beside him—
