Mr. Yan, wake up! Your wife isn't a delicate little flower.

On the other side, Cheng Xihe went downstairs and boarded a bus.

You can ride the school bus for free by swiping your campus card; you don't need to pay.

There were fewer people taking the bus today, and Cheng Xihe saw that there were even more cars outside after getting on the bus.

There were quite a few parents accompanying their children to school at the start of the new semester.

There were also shuttle buses and volunteers along the way.

The entire A University was bustling with activity.

Cheng Xihe found a single seat by the window, put on sunglasses to cover his eyes, and looked outside.

"Teachers' office building, we've arrived..."

Twenty minutes later, the announcement came on, and Cheng Xihe got off the bus.

"Beep beep beep".

Just then, my phone rang.

Cheng Xihe lowered his eyes and took out his phone from the hidden compartment.

This phone is pure black, with a large red spider logo on the back.

Under the sunlight, the bright red spider logo caught the eye of those around it.

"Did you guys see that? What kind of phone is that over there?"

"What a pretty girl! Is she a junior?"

"This face is so perfect, how come I've never seen it before?"

There are also many senior students in the faculty office building, as well as some newly enrolled freshmen.

They were all more or less drawn to Cheng Xihe's actions.

"I've never seen that phone before."

"It looks like an alien computer case."

"Was it custom-made?"

"It's a cheap, low-end phone, probably a no-name brand."

Unexpectedly, the phone sparked a discussion among everyone. Cheng Xihe covered the spider logo on the phone with his hand and glanced down at the message.

Putting his phone away, Cheng Xihe quickly left.

"Knock knock knock".

The principal's office is the first room on the left after exiting the elevator on the sixth floor.

Cheng Xihe knocked on the door and waited for a response.

After waiting for ten seconds without anyone speaking, Cheng Xihe knocked again and took out his phone to send a message to the person on the other end.

"Please come in!"

Cheng Xihe rolled her eyes and pushed the door open to go inside.

"Bang!"

He slammed the door shut, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

The old man sitting at his desk looked up from his computer and exclaimed excitedly when he saw Cheng Xihe, "Little Xihe, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you to get into university for so long!"

"Um."

Cheng Xihe nodded indifferently, his gaze sweeping over the principal's office.

This office is very impressive, filled with many trophies, all of which were won by outstanding senior students who represented the school in various competitions.

Behind the desk, there is a large cabinet containing the principal's own trophies and the awards the school has received.

The old man pushed up his glasses and looked at Cheng Xihe with a smile: "Little Xihe, don't be so cold."

"You messaged me about something important. What is it?" Cheng Xihe asked, sitting naturally in her chair.

The principal said, "It's nothing, just celebrating your joining my school! Hehe!"

"Stop doing this."

Cheng Xihe wasn't buying it: "Get to the point. I'm very busy. I want to go to the lab later."

"No problem, I can take you to the lab."

The principal looked at Cheng Xihe: "However, you have to tell me why you want to go."

With your current qualifications, you could easily set up your own laboratory.

I remember you had a project.

"The things were stolen." When this was mentioned, Cheng Xihe's face showed a rare expression of annoyance.

She had been living with Yan Mingchuan for a while, but hadn't gotten any information from him.

The principal smiled and said, "Your lab on the island was so well-hidden, how could it still get stolen?"

"It was stolen. The team is making a copy, but the original is my hard work." Cheng Xihe's eyes turned slightly cold.

Now that person seems to have vanished into thin air.

There is one thing she doesn't need to worry about.

Even if the other party gets their hands on it, they won't dare to use it extensively, let alone replicate it. She feels sad even if she only loses a little bit of the original.

The principal asked helplessly, "Have you found any new clues?"

"No, he just disappeared. I even fired a shot." Cheng Xihe remained silent with a cold face.

The principal, who had been leaning to one side, immediately sat up straight: "No, you fired a shot? Xihe, you..."

"It's overseas, legal, and we've applied for it."

Cheng Xihe is targeting this boundary.

"I'm right here. Maybe I can find my things here," Cheng Xihe said with a straight face.

She chose this major mainly because she was interested in it, and even more interested in the school's laboratories.

She heard there are several major projects involved, and she wants to get involved; perhaps it will bring unexpected insights.

As a result, her own drug was traced to the possibility of leaking into the school's laboratory, so she decided to come in person.

We can't wait until later to add it to the experiment.

If possible, join the project team as soon as possible.

The principal stroked his chin: "It seems there aren't any new projects recently, and there aren't any research topics either."

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be anything of yours.

"but……"

The principal thought for a moment and then said, "You might be interested in one of the projects we started before. You can take a look."

"You know about my project?" Cheng Xihe raised an eyebrow.

The principal chuckled: "It's probably because of that kid from the Shen family. I know he's still unconscious because of you."

The Shen family hates you terribly. His younger siblings are all at this school; they're your seniors, already in their third year.

"Hate them all. I don't owe the Shen family anything anymore. I only owe Shen Zenan now." Cheng Xihe scoffed.

Since Shen Zenan fell into a coma, the Shen family has taken many things from her to resell, and she has never charged them.

She has never felt guilty and believes that by clearing herself of any responsibility, she will not bear any additional burden.

"You have a good attitude, but your project..."

The principal looked at Cheng Xihe curiously: "If it's appropriate, bring some students from our school along too."

"I'm not sure about the abilities of those people at the school yet. I plan to take another look. Do you have any information on them?"

Cheng Xihe sat up straight, and the chair slid down to the principal's side.

The principal smiled smugly: "I knew you would ask me this question; I was prepared."

"I've given you what you wanted. What about what I asked for?" The principal held out his hand to her, his face full of a kind smile.

Cheng Xihe tossed him a USB drive: "The experimental data is all in here. This experimental technique is mature and you can use it."

You know the company has already applied for the patent.

"Of course I know. I just use it as an exam question to screen out talent." The principal smiled slyly.

He plugged the USB drive into the computer and, while looking through the data, said, "I heard you went back to the Qin family?"

"I moved away. It was a boring place," Cheng Xihe replied casually, not taking it to heart.

The principal smiled and shook his head: "I also heard that you got engaged. Did the Qin family force you to do it?"

Cheng Xihe is not someone who can be easily manipulated. The principal knows her well, and he doesn't believe that Cheng Xihe would agree to Qin Jian's request over such a small matter.

"Can the Qin family force me?"

Cheng Xihe raised an eyebrow: "They can't hurt me, they can only resort to petty tricks."

"He has no tricks up his sleeve to threaten you? I thought you had no weaknesses other than your grandma."

The principal looked at Cheng Xihe with a smile, took a box and handed it to him: "This is for you."

Cheng Xihe took the wooden box and asked, puzzled, "What's this?"

"This is something your grandmother gave me. She said if you meet me again after she passes away, this box will be yours," the principal shrugged.

The box was labeled "To Xihe Baby".

He didn't open it casually.

Many years ago, when the principal was a teacher in Z city, she was injured while leading a spring outing and happened to meet her maternal grandmother.

Her grandmother was kind-hearted and helped the principal.

Later, the principal often went to her maternal grandmother's house for meals.

Even after he was promoted, moved to City A, got married, and had children, the two maintained contact.

"Sister Cheng is very good to me. I've always treated her like an older sister, and I can't refuse any of her requests."

The principal smiled helplessly: "But your grandmother probably never knew about how amazing you and Xiaoxi were, even until she died, right?"

"Those things are not convenient for my grandmother to know, so I can only ask Grandpa Bai for your help." Cheng Xihe looked up at the principal.

The principal is almost sixty years old now, and has a large family of children and grandchildren.

He looked at Cheng Xihe with a loving expression: "You, you, if your grandmother hadn't asked me to take care of you, I wouldn't have discovered you by accident..."

"It's all in the past."

Cheng Xihe clearly didn't want to mention his grandmother again, lest it bring back painful memories.

The principal walked over to her and patted her on the shoulder: "It's not convenient for me to ask too many questions about your affairs."

Your grandmother always wanted you to be well; she left you a lot of things and didn't want you to be held hostage by Qin Jian.

"I know." Cheng Xihe's eyes reddened.

"By the way, someone donated a laboratory building to the school in your name."

Sensing the awkward atmosphere, the principal quickly changed the subject.

He said with a grin, "I can't refuse. The equipment alone is worth tens of millions. It's tempting."

"Who?"

"This person is quite amazing; he's actually Yan Mingchuan, who was ranked first among our school's outstanding graduates."

The principal looked up at Cheng Xihe, his face full of gossip: "Why is that?"

"I'm engaged to him."

Cheng Xi calmly dropped this thunderbolt.

"What?"

The principal almost lost his footing, leaned back, and quickly steadied himself on the table: "You got engaged, and I didn't even know?"

"Qin Jian demanded that I get my mother's belongings back only if I got engaged to him. Now we're getting along normally."

Cheng Xihe knew that the principal was worried about her safety, so she quickly told him.

The principal was furious: "That bastard Qin Jian, how dare he threaten you? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Those are my mother's belongings, and I definitely have to get them back."

Cheng Xihe patted his arm: "It's alright, Grandpa Bai, we got the things back. Yan Mingchuan was also a great help to me."

"I'm not worried about anything else, I'm just afraid you'll be unhappy." The principal looked at Cheng Xihe with concern in his eyes.

Cheng Xihe smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm doing pretty well now. He treats me very well, and Qin Jian wouldn't dare to make a move against me."

"I'm not worried about Yan Mingchuan's strength; he has plenty of tricks up his sleeve."

The principal patted Cheng Xihe on the shoulder and sighed, "It's just that his leg isn't very good, it's still too unfair to you."

Even the most outstanding graduate feels unworthy of Xihe from his family; that's the power of filters!

"It's alright, it can be treated."

Cheng Xihe smiled.

The principal returned to his desk, finished dealing with the matter, and picked up the USB drive: "Let's go, I'll take you to see the school's laboratories."

"it is good."

Before long, the principal led Cheng Xihe straight to the basement, drove away from the office building...
