Chapter 231: Chapter 230: What I Hope Most Is That You, Professor Chi, Could Defect

Chi Gui was truly not at ease about what Fu Si might do. She put down her pen, stood up, and walked out with Xu Wen.

The work area of the research institute was still some distance from the lobby.

Chi Gui walked fast.

She was well aware that Fu Si’s display of patience in front of her was due in part to his inexplicable liking for her, and partly because she had never really done anything to upset him.

But for those kids in the institute, several of whom had just come out of school and were still green in terms of interpersonal relationships, if they said or did something to upset Fu Si, she might not even be able to protect them.

The Mr. Fu who made everyone in Capital City wary wasn’t likely to be some magnanimous nice guy.

Moreover, even if Fu Si literally did nothing, his mere presence would be enough to scare those green kids silly.

Xu Wen, who followed behind Chi Gui, wanted to say something, but seeing Professor Chi’s serious face, he hesitated and dared not speak.

Soon, they arrived at the thick steel door separating the lobby from the work area.

This steel door was also made of special materials and could only be opened with iris recognition. Once the door was closed, even if the lobby was bombed to ashes by a rocket, the work area behind it wouldn’t be affected in the least.

Chi Gui opened the door with her iris recognition and then saw—

“Come on, everybody, don’t be shy, this is the coffee Mr. Fu specifically bought for everyone from Starbucks…” Qin Cheng enthusiastically handed coffee to one of the researchers, and behind him, a bodyguard was carrying a small box filled with coffees.

Not far away, Fu Si was dressed in beige casual wear, lounging lazily against the bar counter with his long legs casually crossed. His glasses were taken off, placed carelessly on the bar while his eyes—deeper and darker than ancient wells—curved slightly, and his thin lips held a smile.

Around him gathered a bunch of people from the institute, with those green students previously worried about by Chi Gui especially close.

The crowd chatted and laughed, creating a particularly relaxed and leisurely atmosphere.

Not too far away, Fu Si’s deep and pleasant voice vaguely drifted over, “Hahaha, as long as you like Professor Chi too, we’re good friends!”

Chi Gui: …

Xu Wen cautiously glanced at Chi Gui’s face and whispered, “At first, everyone was actually quite scared of Mr. Fu, but he didn’t put on any airs at all and hit it off with everyone after a short while…”

After speaking, he couldn’t help but glance again.

It was inevitable, seeing Professor Chi bewildered was such a rare occurrence…

Chi Gui stood still for a moment, then calmly walked towards Fu Si.

On the other side, Fu Si also saw Chi Gui and gestured to the others with his hand.

Only then did everyone turn around, and upon seeing Chi Gui, they straightened up their bodies and respectfully greeted, “Good afternoon, Professor Chi!”

Watching this scene, Fu Si’s eyebrows gently raised, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

He didn’t disturb Chi Gui, just stood there watching her direct others to go for lunch.

Once Chi Gui finished arranging, he chuckled, “You haven’t had lunch either, right? How about showing me the Institute’s food?”

It was a perfectly reasonable request coming from the head of the Fu Family.

Without saying much, Chi Gui led him to the cafeteria.

On the way, they both remained silent, but invariably drew the eyes of others everywhere they went.

Upon reaching the cafeteria, nearly all the seats were taken, except for the best table by the window, which was clearly left vacant on purpose.

Chi Gui astutely noticed one of the male researchers giving Fu Si a wink.

Chi Gui: …

With a light snort, she walked towards the food counter, “You certainly are something, people of my institute have defected so quickly.”

“Can’t help it, my charm is substantial,” Fu Si said with his hands in his pockets, following behind Chi Gui, his voice amused, “But… what I’d wish for most is for Professor Chi to defect…”
