The fake heiress loves to act? The max-level boss isn't interested in playing along.

Lu Tingxiao withdrew his gaze and nodded to the girls.

"I've noted down everyone's questions."

He picked up his lesson plan and said gently, "I will focus on this part in the next class. That's all for today. Everyone go back and organize your thoughts."

After saying that, he stepped out of the crowd, his pace quickening.

"Fu Hua, classmate."

Fu Hua had just reached the door when she heard someone call her.

She turned around and saw Lu Tingxiao walking towards her.

She stopped in her tracks.

Lu Tingxiao walked up to her and stopped.

"Professor Lu."

Fu Hua nodded politely.

Lu Tingxiao looked at her, his lips twitching slightly, as if he wanted to laugh but didn't.

"No need to be so polite,"

He smiled slightly, "I've heard of you."

Fu Hua raised an eyebrow.

Lu Tingxiao continued, "Professor Yan is my mentor. He has mentioned you to me more than once. We even met for dinner yesterday."

Fu Hua paused for a moment, then nodded.

"So it's my senior brother."

A smile flashed in Lu Tingxiao's eyes when he heard this address.

"The teacher said that you took the lead in the layered encryption project, and that you have ideas and courage, even better than the students he taught last year. He praised you highly."

Fu Hua shook her head, her tone flat: "Teacher, you flatter me."

Lu Tingxiao looked at her, his eyes flickering slightly.

She stood there in the sunlight, her expression calm and composed, neither humble nor arrogant.

Neither overly friendly nor deliberately distant.

For a girl of this age to achieve so much, she remains humble and composed.

He is indeed a promising talent!

"If you have any problems in the future, feel free to come to me."

He pointed upwards, "I'm on the third floor of the physics building. There's a sign on my office door."

Fu Hua nodded.

"Thank you, Professor Lu."

Lu Tingxiao didn't say anything more and stepped aside to make way.

As soon as Fu Hua stepped out of the physics building, she saw a small crowd gathered in front of her.

She hadn't paid any attention and continued walking.

But as I passed by, I overheard several students talking, and their voices were quite loud.

"Isn't that Li Yan? He's wandering around here again."

"What a madman! He's nothing like a student from Peking University. He's a disgrace."

Another student chimed in, "You can't say that. I heard his previous paper was cited abroad."

"So what?"

The first student curled his lip. "What's the use of great achievements if you're arrogant? He went against his own mentor; who pays attention to him now?"

Fu Hua paused in her steps.

"I heard his dorm room was all taken."

The third student lowered his voice, "The room I was assigned to because of my good grades, I don't know where I'll be staying now."

"I heard he was an orphan and no one gave him money. He used to live on scholarships."

"Now look what's happened. I've offended those old professors, and my scholarship is going to be gone."

"That's right, look at him, he looks like a beggar, I don't know if he's eaten in the last few days."

Fu Hua followed their gaze.

Not far ahead, a person was walking hurriedly with their head down.

His hair was a mess, and his clothes were wrinkled beyond recognition.

There was a stain on my trouser leg, and my shoes were coming unglued, so I was dragging my feet when I walked.

If it weren't for the people around him talking, he really wouldn't have recognized Li Yan.

Just a few months ago, he was in high spirits when he attended the celebration banquet.

He kept his head down, muttering to himself.

He seemed completely unaware that people around him were watching him.

Fu Hua pondered for two seconds, then followed.

After turning the corner, there is a small garden ahead, with several locust trees surrounding a pebble path.

As soon as Li Yan walked in, he was stopped by several tall, burly, and aggressive boys.

Fu Hua quickened her pace.

"Get out of the way."

Li Yan's voice came through, hoarse and stiff.

"Move aside?"

A boy stood in front of him, arms crossed.

"Where the hell did you put my experimental data?"

That's not yours.

"Not mine? It's on my desk, if it's not mine, then it's yours?"

"That's right, Li Yan, you thief, how dare you be Professor Gu's student?"

Li Yan looked up at him, noticing the dark circles under his eyes.

But his eyes were very bright, almost frighteningly so.

"That's incorrect data."

He shook his head. "If we continue doing it that way, the entire experimental group will waste three months."

The boy paused for a moment, then his face turned red.

"What the hell gives you the right to touch my things? Who do you think you are, to think you can just say whatever you want is wrong?"

Several people nearby gathered around, pushing and shoving each other.

"Yeah, who do you think you are?"

"You're a lunatic. Don't forget, you've already been kicked out of the research group. What business is it of yours?"

Li Yan was pushed back a step and bumped into a tree trunk.

He leaned against the tree, neither fighting back nor running away, just standing there.

"I said it,"

His voice remained the same, stiff and unyielding: "That's incorrect data."

"you……"

"If you refuse a toast, you'll have to drink a penalty cup."

Unable to reason with this group, they clenched their fists, preparing to resort to force.

"stop."

A woman's voice interrupted.

The group turned around and saw Fu Hua standing a few steps away.

The boy in the lead looked her up and down, his eyes trembling slightly, and his tone softened: "Who are you? Mind your own business."

Fu Hua ignored him, walked over, and stood next to Li Yan.

"What happened?"

She asked Li Yan.

Li Yan glanced at her, his eyes filled with unfamiliarity.

"Who are you……"

"Fu Hua".

She replied, "I saw the victory celebration banquet."

Li Yan nodded, as if he remembered.

He pointed at the boys and said, "Their experimental data contained serious errors, so I took the data away."

"You fucking steal and you still think you're right?"

One of the boys was about to rush forward again.

Fu Hua stood in front of him.

"He said it was wrong, did you check?"

The boy was stunned for a moment.

Even if he said it, would she understand?

Fu Hua looked at him, her tone cold and sharp: "I'm asking you, he said it was wrong, did you check it?"

The boy opened his mouth, but couldn't answer.

"Who are you? What department are you from? Our biology department's affairs are none of your business!"

Fu Hua didn't answer, and turned to Li Yan.

Li Yan said, "The third set of samples did not rule out temperature drift, and the sample numbers and actual values ​​were mismatched in three sets. If we continue with that approach, the entire conclusion will be reversed."

He spoke quickly, but every word was clear.

Fu Hua nodded and then looked at the boy.

"Did you understand?"

The boy's face turned pale and then flushed.

"What...what gives him the right to say we're wrong?"

Fu Hua didn't answer, but took out paper and pen from her schoolbag and handed them to Li Yan.

Write it down.

Li Yan paused for a moment, took it, quickly wrote a few lines, and handed it back.

Fu Hua glanced at it, tore off the piece of paper, and handed it to the boy.

"Go back and check. If what he said is true, you'll save three months. If what he said is wrong, it's not too late to settle accounts with him then."

"What's the meaning of hitting someone here? I'd like to ask Professor Gu, what kind of people are in the biology lab?"

The boy's expression changed slightly, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions because of Fu Hua's demeanor.

He took the paper, looked down at it, and his eyes trembled.

Several people nearby gathered around to look, but none of them said anything.

The errors in the experimental data above have been clearly marked by Li Yan.

They only need to check to know whether it's right or wrong.

Fu Hua pulled up Li Yan's sleeve and walked out.

After walking a few steps, she looked back.

The boys remained standing there, staring at the piece of paper, and no one chased after them.

Li Yan was pulled along by her for a few steps before suddenly stopping.

"you……"

Fu Hua let go.

"Have you got a meal yet?"
