CHAPTER 139: CHAPTER 139: IS IT LOVE OR OBSESSION? (9)

Tang Yanqi shook her head and suddenly smiled at Qi Cheng: "Chengzi, when you called me just now, it seemed you didn’t hang up?"

"Yeah, why?"

"You better hope he has hearing problems."

What?

Qi expressed her confusion, and after a long mental delay, Qi Cheng suddenly jumped up: "Oh no, oh no, oh damn, Tangtang, why didn’t you remind me earlier?"

The phone was still connected, and she had loudly called him a "scumbag." Qi buried her face in her arms, tears streaming down...

Oh no, oh no, she called Sheng Jianan a scumbag, and he might’ve heard it. That’s Sheng Jianan!

If she’s angered him, how is she going to survive?

"Tangtang, save me..."

Tang Yanqi was just teasing her a moment ago. She patted Qi Cheng’s shoulder: "Don’t worry, do you think a domineering CEO would care about a little student? Relax, he’s not that childish."

Qi Cheng was still lost in her misery, while Tang Yanqi was taken aback by her own words. He’s not that childish? Is Sheng Jianan not that childish?

Well, saying that felt a bit guilty...

She seemed to have said before that he was indeed childish.

In the Shengshi Group, Sheng Jianan, who had just returned to work, suddenly sneezed hard.

After hanging up Tang Yanqi’s call, Qiao Zi happened to bring in some documents. Sheng Jianan, with a gloomy face, resumed working without paying attention to anything else. So by the time he saw the message from Tang Yanqi, it was already four thirty in the afternoon, and Sheng Jianan was sitting in the car, ready to head towards K University.

Upon seeing Tang Yanqi’s message, which explained that she might be late due to a discussion with her professor about her graduation thesis topic, Sheng Jianan’s brows furrowed deeply.

Graduation thesis advisor... Professor?

Something flashed in his mind; if he remembered correctly, he seemed to have seen something related to this on Tang Yanqi’s computer before.

Sheng Jianan’s fingers swiftly opened the browser and entered K University’s campus network, using his photographic memory to view information about Professor Zuo, who was Tang Yanqi’s mentor.

From the introduction, he appeared to be a very authoritative professor in the field of economics with many accolades.

Sheng Jianan also checked the K University forum, trying to find that gossip post he had seen on Tang Yanqi’s computer that day, but he couldn’t find it.

Of course, the black history of such a professor, whether true or false, wouldn’t be so publicly displayed on the university’s forum.

Tossing the phone aside, Sheng Jianan revved the engine and headed towards K University. He knew those rumors weren’t very credible. While there were indeed sleazy professors, most were still very authoritative. Besides, even if those things did happen, the probability was very low, and not every student would encounter them.

But for some reason, Sheng Jianan felt a bit anxious, and his driving speed gradually increased.

——

The campus was quiet at a little after four. Tang Yanqi arrived at her professor’s office on time, holding in her hand the topics she had meticulously prepared and the reasons for her choices. She reached out and knocked on the door.

Not long after, the door was opened from the inside, and a bald, pot-bellied middle-aged man smiled gently at Tang Yanqi: "You must be Tang Yanqi? Please, come in!"

Tang Yanqi smiled and nodded as well: "Hello, Professor, I’m Tang Yanqi."

As she stepped inside, she discovered there was someone else there as well, someone who seemed a bit familiar. That person greeted her first: "Yanxi."
