"Alright, we'll stop asking," declared three senior colleagues from the same hometown simultaneously, with what might be construed as a hint of sympathy.
Wu Lixuan's face turned pale when she heard this, looking towards her childhood friend to see what she would do.
Suddenly, a voice interrupted the three, "Don't jump to conclusions."
The others turned their heads to see Sun Yubo speaking.
Why was Teacher Xiao Sun getting worked up? Xie Wanying was taken aback.
Sun Yubo was angry that his prized student was being doubted. Unlike Tan Kelin, he was young and lacked the skill to keep his cool.
Liu Chengran quickly tugged at him. It wasn't just a few people today—others from different departments were listening in.
Sun Yubo looked up to see his fellow countryman, Zhou Junpeng, smiling like a fox, which set off a wave of panic in him. Then he glanced at Fu Xinheng and Zhu Huicang who were sitting next to Zhou.
