  Xue Xi nodded. “Mhm, but I don’t have the materials and equipment needed for the experiment, so I want to try it at your company.”


  Xue Sheng nodded. “What materials do you need? List them and I’ll get someone to purchase them for you. When do you plan to go to the company?”


  “The weekend.”
……

  After agreeing to go to the company for an experiment this weekend, Xue Xi went to school.

  The school had just started and the third-year students were still feeling indignant. They had not had enough vacation time, and Old Liu was scolding everyone in the classroom. “You guys are still in the mood to play? Look at how many days there are until the college entrance examination! 128 days! You guys should really learn from the other students in our class! For example, Xue Xi and Qin Shuang have been performing well recently!”


  The chatterbox, who had been praised, did not even raise her head and continued reading.

  After class, Qin Shuang, who had been praised by Old Liu, became the focus of the class. Everyone looked at her.

  This girl, who was usually the most casual, had changed from her usual non-mainstream self. Her black hair was tied into a ponytail and she had washed off her makeup. Her clean little face was serious.

  Thinking about how she was going to get into the Capital Film and Television Academy, everyone suddenly felt the motivation to study.

  They then turned to look at Xue Xi, who was sitting behind her. Xue Xi, who had been guaranteed admission, was still reading seriously……

  At this moment, Flame Number One’s voice sounded from the door. “Sister Xi, don’t forget about the self-study class in the afternoon!”


  Xue Xi did not even raise her head and only made an OK gesture.

  During the break, the members of the Roaring Flame Society, who used to look down at their phones and play games, were all holding up their English vocabulary books and memorizing them.

  There was nothing more shocking than this.

  Instantly, the entire school seemed to be infected and a wave of love for studying was created!

  The field was also sporting slogans. “Study hard and improve every day!”


  There was also a voice that others could not hear clearly. Qin Shuang covered her mouth and shouted, “Study hard and improve every day!”


  Xue Xi: “?”


  Qin Shuang chuckled. “Sister Xi, my husband and I are your and Brother-in-law’s CP fans! Due to the principle that high school students are not allowed to date, you should study hard. When you enter university, you can go out every day!”


  Xue Xi: “.……”


  “Hubby?”


  Qin Shuang’s deskmate said, “Don’t you know? Cen Bai was interviewed again yesterday!”


  Qin Shuang blushed and did not speak.

  Her deskmate continued, “The reporters caught Cen Bai and asked him how he’d spent the new year. He said that he spent the new year with his girlfriend and made the fans cry! Now, everyone wants to become his girlfriend. Sigh! When a dog dies, no couple is innocent!”


  Qin Shuang smiled.

  Xue Xi also shook her head helplessly. However, Qin Shuang’s deskmate poked her arm. “What are you laughing at? Your husband went to spend the new year with another woman, but you can still smile? Are you dumb?”


  Qin Shuang said in all seriousness, “To tell you the truth, I’m his mysterious girlfriend!”


  When Qin Shuang’s deskmate heard this, she instantly clutched her chest in an exaggerated manner. “What? Really?”


  Qin Shuang: “Really!”


  Qin Shuang’s deskmate laughed. “My acting isn’t bad, right? Wake up!”


  Qin Shuang knew that she did not believe it. She rolled her eyes and continued reading.

  In the first row, Xue Yao, who knew the truth, clenched her fists and looked at Fan Han……

  It was not yet the 15th of January, but after school started, Fan Han had not come to class. She wanted to find another chance to speak to Fan Han, but she did not have the chance.

  She could not just call off the marriage. Otherwise, her reputation would be ruined!……

  Xue Xi did not know what Xue Yao was thinking, nor did she care. To her, Xue Yao and Fan Han had never been important.

  Soon, it was the weekend.

  Little Flame and Little Chatterbox were both staying at Xue Xi’s house to be tutored by her. After giving them a day’s worth of lessons, Xue Xi followed Xue Sheng to his company.

  Because it was the start-up period, the researchers were working overtime during the weekend.

  Xue Sheng drove. At the thought that he would have to face financial problems when he went to the company, he frowned and quickly arrived at the company’s underground parking lot.

  Just as the two of them got out of the car, Xue Xi suddenly said, “Dad.”


  Xue Sheng looked at her. “What’s wrong? Are you afraid of going to the research lab? Don’t worry, Dad has already informed the others and they will give you a separate laboratory. If you need help, they will also help.”


  Xue Xi shook her head. She took out a bank card from her pocket and passed it to Xue Sheng. “Is the company short of money? I have……”


  Just as she said this, Xue Sheng smiled. “Even if I’m short of money, I don’t lack your hundreds of thousands.”


  Ever since they’d separated from the family, Xue Sheng had been giving Xue Xi a hundred thousand yuan allowance every month as per usual. His daughter did not spend much, but counting up until now, it should only be a few hundred thousand yuan.

  Xue Xi shook her head and passed it to him. “No, there’s a lot of money inside.”


  The prize money for winning the competition had been transferred to this card.

  Moreover, Qian Xin had given her a box of gems for the mathematics question that he had her do last time, and he even said that he wanted to give her shares. She did not want it, so Qian Xin could only transfer another sum of money to her card.

  She did not care about the exact amount.

  To her, money was just a number.

  Xue Sheng did not mind. After all, back then, when his daughter’s card only had 100,000 yuan, she’d dared to tell Xiang Huai that she was very rich! He said, “Dad can’t spend your money no matter what. You……”


  Before he could finish speaking, Xue Xi placed the card in his hand and said, “I’m going to the laboratory.”


  Xue Sheng did not even have the chance to reject her and could only hold on to the bank card.

  He boarded the elevator and arrived at the General Manager’s office.

  When Xiao Song arrived, she said hesitantly, “Mr. Xue, it’s time to give out the salary today. Do you think……”


  The company had just been established. Other than the researchers, there were only a dozen or so people. However, the company could not even fork out a hundred thousand yuan.

  Xue Sheng frowned. In the end, he had no choice but to hand the bank card Xue Xi had just given him to Xiao Song. “Take it out of this card first. Go see if it has enough money. If not, I’ll think of a way!”


  No matter what, the salary of the employees must not be delayed!

  Xiao Song nodded and took the card before leaving.

  Xue Sheng continued worrying about money. Ten minutes later, Xiao Song rushed in with a look of panic. “CEO Xue!”


  Xue Sheng asked in confusion, “Why? Is the money in the card not enough?”


  Could it be that Xixi had recently spent money and did not even have a hundred thousand yuan in her card?

  Xiao Song gulped. “It’s not that it’s not enough, but……”
