Chapter 241: Chapter 241 - 241: To Ostracize Me

Translator: Zayn_

Song Qingyou could provide the main technology for the smart logistics project that she had given to the laboratory. She only needed the graduate students to produce it and consider some minor details.

Therefore, after Shen Yang and the others explained, everyone who was interested in the project basically agreed to join.

With the holographic projection equipment, they already knew that Song Qingyou was a very generous instructor. They didn’t need to worry about the remuneration at all.

Not to mention, Professor Song’s research in this area could not only teach them a lot of relevant knowledge, but it could also provide them with a lot of inspiration. It was definitely not a bad idea to follow her.

After Song Qingyou let those who were willing to join sign the contract, she gave the next phase of goals to the others who were focused on holographic technology.

After working for half a day, when Song Qingyou came out of the laboratory, it was almost noon.

She called Chen Lan, who was waiting outside and took the route with the least traffic as usual.

Even so, she still put on her mask and hat and walked with her head down to avoid being recognized.

Just as she walked out of the small door, she heard hurried footsteps coming from the corner.

Song Qingyou wanted to move aside and let the other party go first.

However, the boy was tall and walked in a hurry. He did not have time to stop and still bumped into her.

With a crash, the stack of documents in the other party’s hand fell to the ground.

A few even fell into the puddle nearby.

“I’m sorry.” The man lowered his head and apologized, then hurriedly went to pick up the things.

Song Qingyou was too embarrassed to leave, and since there was still half an hour before noon, she offered to help.

She happened to be near the puddle.

Therefore, she could not help but see the contents of the documents that were soaked.

It was the investment analysis report for the cold chain logistics project.

In the middle, there was a list of reasons why this investment would fail. In the end, the result was that it was not suitable for investment.

Most importantly, the date of the report happened to be today.

Because it involved logistics, Song Qingyou couldn’t help but take a few more glances.

“This should be very important, right?” she asked.

The person who picked up the item looked up and was stunned for a moment before shaking his head. “No, it’s not important anymore.”

Seeing his complicated expression, Song Qingyou asked curiously, “Why? I saw that the date was today?”

When the person opposite heard this, he pushed up his glasses and hesitated for a moment.

But when Song Qingyou raised her head, his brows furrowed slightly. She glanced at Song Qingyou’s face from time to time and replied, “This is a rejected report.”

“The company has decided to invest in this project, and I’ve been fired.”

After saying that, he paused. “Pardon me for asking, but have we met somewhere before? You look… a little familiar.”

Song Qingyou’s first thought was that the other party might have recognized her.

She raised her eyes and looked at the person in front of her. The words ‘you might have seen wrongly’ lingered on her tongue, but she did not say it for a long time.

Because Song Qingyou suddenly felt that he looked familiar…

In the silence, the person in front of her spoke first and asked in a very uncertain tone, “You-zi?”

If it was just a passerby or fan who recognized the celebrity, they would not call her that.

Before Song Qingyou got the name Song Qingyou, her name in the orphanage was You-zi.

She took off her mask and revealed her entire face.

“It really is you!” The person on the other side was pleasantly surprised. “I heard from the dean that you went back once. I was wondering when I could meet you.”

“Didn’t the director give you my contact information?” Song Qingyou put on her mask again.

“Yes. But you’re a celebrity now. You should be very busy usually. How can 1 contact you casually…”

The boy, who looked smart and calm, was obviously not telling the truth.

Song Qingyou knew that the other party was worried that she would become famous and not want to acknowledge her friends from the orphanage.

Just like Shen Xiyan.

She took out her cell phone. “Let’s add each other on V-message.”

“Alright.”

Watching Song Qingyou accurately input the three words ‘Lin Xuyang’ in the note, Lin Xuyang felt a little emotional.

“Actually, I met Shen Xiyan before. Ah, no, 1 should call her Miss Shen now.”

“She was also at the orphanage at that time. I thought she was thinking of the orphanage and specially went to donate money. In the end, it was just for the sake of taking photos…”

“When I greeted her, I was even scolded as a toad lusting after swan meat, and then 1 was chased out…”

This matter even appeared in the gossip news at that time.

Fortunately, Shen Xiyan was also afraid that Lin Xuyang would come knocking on her door, so she specially told the media not to release Lin Xuyang’s photos. Song Qingyou raised her eyebrows, thinking that Shen Xiyan was indeed capable of doing this.

“So, you thought 1 might be like that too?”

“I just was not sure.” Lin Xuyang pushed up his glasses and said, “But it’s fine if you don’t want to acknowledge us.”

“Eh?” Song Qingyou tilted her head in confusion.

“Because you’re our little princess!”

“Pfft.”

Song Qingyou laughed.

In the past, when they were young, in order to curry favor with the rich and get them to donate money, they even arranged a few programs.

The most memorable time was when a group of kids performed a stage play.

Song Qingyou, the true group favorite, was pushed to the position of princess by all the children of the same age.

Lin Xuyang saw that she was smiling without a hint of gloominess, and his lips curled up unconsciously.

Although he was only two years older than Song Qingyou, under the guidance of the director, he had always acted like an older brother. Now, when he saw Song Qingyou, he still acted like an older brother.

“By the way, why are you here at A University?”

“Do you… Do you want to go back to university?”

He looked at her with a look that said, “As long as you answer yes, I’ll help you immediately.” She smiled and shook her head.

“I’m here for something else.”

She did not want to say more and intentionally changed the topic. “It’s almost noon. Brother Xuyang, do you want to have lunch together? My manager is waiting for me outside.”

Lin Xuyang thought for a moment and nodded.

He also wanted to know more about Song Qingyou’s recent situation.

The two of them chatted as they walked.

“Brother Xuyang, you just said that you were fired…”

“Don’t worry about that.” Lin Xuyang said, “It’s just that I don’t get along with the company’s higher-ups. They have been looking down on me for a long time. I resigned in a fit of anger.”

“Is it because of the disagreement in the investment plan?”

“Yes.” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Song Qingyou was deep in thought. “Brother Xuyang should know that 1 have an entertainment company. I am a little interested in investing. I read your report just now and I think your point is right. Why did the company’s higher-ups disagree?”

“Maybe it’s purely to ostracize me.” Lin Xuyang’s words were filled with confidence.

Song Qingyou praised sincerely, “Then Brother Xuyang must be very powerful.”

Lin Xuyang smiled. “I told my friends about this and they all comforted me. Only you would praise me.”

“If you are not envied by others, you are a mediocre person. Brother Xuyang has been very smart since he was a child.”

If it wasn’t for her fortuitous encounter, in terms of learning ability and talent, Song Qingyou was nothing compared to Lin Xuyang..
