Chapter 628: Chapter 617 Versailles

"Chi Yuhang, did you previously study at the Agricultural University?"

Of course, she wouldn’t let Chi Yuhang stay and work at the research institute without careful consideration, but when she had looked into his background previously, she had come across some information unintentionally.

The documentation showed that Chi Yuhang only attended the Agricultural University for one year before he took a leave of absence. As for the reason he did so, she could guess—it was nothing more than his family’s grim financial condition, and the university tuition was simply something Chi Yuhang couldn’t afford.

What caught her attention was that, during his time at the university, Chi Yuhang’s academic performance was very good, and he had even won several competition prizes.

So, having Chi Yuhang sort out documents at the research institute should be no problem.

Zhan Nanqing blinked in confusion, staring relentlessly at Chi Yuhang and then circling around him.

"Is that true? It doesn’t show at all, wow, you actually studied at the Agricultural University? I thought you had, at most, graduated from middle school. But, well... since you were at the Agricultural University, you must indeed be capable of organizing documents."

When she heard Qiao Jing mention that Chi Yuhang was a student from the Agricultural University, she was so shocked that she could hardly speak, her expression turning into one of sudden realization.

She knew Qiao Jing wouldn’t have let Chi Yuhang work at the institute for no reason; turns out Chi Yuhang was previously an Agricultural University student.

Chi Yuhang was stunned, looking at Qiao Jing with bewildered eyes.

"Yes, but... Miss Qiao, how did you know?"

He had been on leave for over a year; at the time, his grandfather’s health was deteriorating, so he had no choice but to take leave and devote all his time to working, barely making enough money to pay for the medication.

Just as Qiao Jing was about to answer, Zhan Nanqing cut in first.

"Is how I knew really the point right now? The main thing is, do you want this opportunity to work at the research institute? The salary and benefits are good—it’s enough to make a decent living, and there’s time for a lunch break, working nine to five."

After saying this, she suddenly realized after the fact that she sounded like a multi-level marketer, almost desperate for Chi Yuhang to take the job at the institute.

Upon realizing this, she cleared her throat and slowly began to speak:

"Uh... it doesn’t really matter whether you come or not. I’m just introducing you to the work environment as a way to express my gratitude for today."

Seeing Zhan Nanqing act this way, Qiao Jing couldn’t help but hook the corner of her lips upward, revealing a subtle smile, and then she looked at Chi Yuhang.

"I noticed you had good grades in school, and as it happens, the research institute is short-staffed, so I was thinking of having you come over. You can give it some thought."

She had indeed not expected Chi Yuhang’s grades to be that outstanding, but now that she had noticed, she was willing to help if she could.

Plus, this was money earned through his own labor; Chi Yuhang would probably agree.

As for the studio being short-staffed?

What a joke!

Professor Qiao’s research institute!

That was a place every student studying agriculture would fight tooth and nail to enter; it couldn’t possibly be short of people.

She said this only so Chi Yuhang wouldn’t feel indebted.

Upon hearing this, Zhan Nanqing looked curiously at Chi Yuhang, sizing him up.

"Good grades? How good were they?"

There were few people whose abilities impressed Qiao Jing, so this made her quite curious.

Chi Yuhang pondered for a moment before answering truthfully:

"Actually, they weren’t as good as Miss Qiao said. As for academics, I was first in my class, and I did win some competition prizes—usually first or second place."

When he participated in competitions, it was also for the prize money to help support his family and buy medicine for his grandfather, so he had competed in all kinds of agricultural contests, big and small.

After hearing Chi Yuhang speak, an exasperated "My god" slipped from Zhan Nanqing, her eyes widening slightly.

"This is called ’not very good’? More like ’Versailles’ good, okay?"

Although she had imagined Chi Yuhang’s grades would be good, this was far beyond her expectations.

You should know, just getting first in a single year at Agricultural University is already tough, not to mention how valuable the competitions recommended by Agricultural University are.

Now she finally understood why Qiao Jing wanted Chi Yuhang to work at the research institute, it was not only to solve his financial problems, but also to add another talent to the institute.

Chi Yuhang, looking utterly perplexed, asked Zhan Nanqing:

"What does ’Versailles’ mean?"

Zhan Nanqing rolled her eyes speechlessly and looked at Chi Yuhang.

"Don’t you go online, or don’t you surf the net?"

Before Chi Yuhang could answer, she replied to her own question:

"Forget it, forget it, someone like you who works so many jobs every day must be dying of exhaustion. Where would you find the time to surf the internet? ’Versailles’ means to show off something you want to flaunt unintentionally, pretending not to show off on purpose."

After learning the meaning, Chi Yuhang slowly furrowed his brows.

"Miss Zhan, I’m not ’Versailles’."

He was only answering the question honestly and had no intention to show off.

Seeing such a serious look on Chi Yuhang, Zhan Nanqing clicked her tongue in disgust.

"Are you taking a joke seriously? With a blockhead like you, how could you even think of ’Versailles’?"

Qiao Jing helplessly twisted the corner of her mouth and pulled Zhan Nanqing back to her side.

"Alright, stop joking around, Chi Yuhang. You can go back and think about it. Once you’ve decided, give me a call."

She felt quite regretful about Chi Yuhang considering dropping out, as his grades and everything were excellent. As long as he continued with his studies, he would definitely become a distinguished agricultural expert. If it all went to waste, the agricultural community would lose a talent.

So she also hoped that Chi Yuhang would work at the research institute. In that way, he could learn additional knowledge while also making a contribution to the institute.

Chi Yuhang nodded earnestly, with a solemn expression:

"Doctor Qiao, I’m willing to take on this position, but I’m worried about not doing well at the beginning."

He had already considered it thoroughly; the research institute offered good conditions, a nine-to-five job, and rest time, which he definitely couldn’t find given his current situation.

Although he hadn’t asked how much the salary was, as long as it covered his grandfather’s medical expenses, it was fine!

Seeing how quickly Chi Yuhang agreed and his determination, Qiao Jing’s eyes inadvertently revealed a look of satisfaction.

"Someone will be in charge of teaching you specifically."

As she was speaking, she caught a glimpse of Zhan Nanqing playing with her phone from the corner of her eye.

"You can have Nanqing teach you."

Upon hearing Qiao Jing’s words, Zhan Nanqing immediately looked up.

"What? Teach what??"

Qiao Jing’s gaze fell on Chi Yuhang and she slightly tilted her chin in his direction.

"Teach Chi Yuhang how to organize paperwork. It’s convenient since the two of you know each other."

Zhan Nanqing frowned and glanced at Chi Yuhang, and suddenly, the scene her mother had painted for her about helping each other at work flashed through her mind.

Her face became a bit complicated. How come this plot was beginning to unfold just like what her mother had said?
