Hai Tong's eyes flickered under her gaze, and her expression became more and more forced: "I...I seldom ask about my brother Jiu's affairs."
Zhao Shu didn't think too much about it: "Young Master Ye rarely communicates with others."
Haitong was afraid that she would continue to ask, so she took her bag and said to Zhao Shu in an urgent manner: "Aunt Zhao, do you know where the bathroom is? I want to go to the bathroom."
Zhao Shu pointed her in a direction.
Haitong forced a smile, thanked her, and hurried towards the bathroom.
…
The control in the area outside the Ninth Institute is not too strict.
Haitong could see many people walking by in groups of three or four wearing the same work clothes as Zhao Shu.
Those people were either walking in a hurry or chatting with each other about work-related matters.
Few people focus on irrelevant people.
Haitong is that irrelevant person.
This was the first time she was ignored like this.
On the way to the bathroom, almost no one looked at her, let alone anyone who came up to her and talked to her.
This made Haitong, who was used to being treated like a star thanks to her connections with the Ye family, extremely uncomfortable... But at least she knew where she was and what she was doing there.
She suppressed her discomfort and went to the bathroom, where she took out her cell phone from her bag, wanting to try to contact Ina first to tell her that she had been admitted to the ninth institute.
But soon Haitong found that she could not contact the outside world.
Because the cell phone she took out had no signal at all, the signal here was blocked!
Haitong realized this and her face turned ugly.
She sneaked in on impulse and didn't know what to do next. If she couldn't contact the outside world, how would she get into the core area and find out what project Qiao Nian was working on at the Ninth Institute
Haitong was in an unprecedentedly bad mood.
This bad situation was based on Zhao Shu's casual comments that she had a poor education and average IQ, and was only qualified to start as a 1-star member, and she might not be able to become a 5-star member in her lifetime. Then she said that there was someone younger than her in Tsinghua University who could easily enter the core area with his own talent and ability.
Of course Haitong knew that Zhao Shu was not targeting her, she was just simply chatting with her about some gossip about the Ninth Institute.
But Haitong never thinks that she is worse than anyone else.
She has always been one of the top students in school since she was young, and she also attended a prestigious university abroad.
She considers herself a top student.
If we have to say there are geniuses in the world, Haitong only admires Ina.
She didn’t believe what Zhao Shu said about Tsinghua University…genius.
She just thought that people in her country had never seen the world, so they would think any nerd they caught was a genius.
Only after she thought about it this way did she feel a little better.
No one came to the bathroom.
Haitong knew that she couldn't stay here for too long, otherwise it would arouse Zhao Shu's suspicion. She turned on the faucet, rinsed her hands, and began to quickly calm herself down.
The water from the faucet was cold and irritating to the skin, and the hot and uncomfortable feeling in Haitong's heart was slowly extinguished.
She knew this was her only chance.
Zhao Shu couldn't bring her in at any time.
If she failed to seize this opportunity to find out the secret behind Qiao Nian, it would be difficult for her to get into the Ninth Institute again.
Just as she was about to turn off the faucet and slowly walk back to find Zhao Shu, and see if there was any chance to get into the core area, she heard a familiar voice approaching from afar.
"Master Cheng is still in the laboratory?"
