Chapter 16

Translator: Zayn_

Lin Hai couldn’t wait to submit his paper and get the final feedback as soon as possible. Thus, in less than three days, I received a message from Lin Hai, as well as a transfer.

[ Brother, as expected, your thesis won an award! *scatter flowers!* ]

[ I heard that all the teachers are full of praise for your thesis. Your winning thesis has been posted on the campus bulletin board! ]

[ Transfer: 3000 Yuan. ]

[ This is the prize money for your thesis. It’s not a lot, but it’s a symbol of honor! The invisible benefits after winning the award are endless! Not only can you gain reputation, but you’ll also have access to a higher-grade network! ]

[ You’re leading our research group to glory!!! ]

Three exclamation marks in a row. I could feel Lin Hai’s excitement through the screen.

[ Alright, I’m coming.] I responded to him.

[ Also… ]

[ On the noticeboard, don’t mention that I wrote the thesis, just sign: HIV Research Group. ]

This way, by using the enthusiasm brought by the paper, the HIV research group could gather more new recruits, so that Lin Hai and I won’t be as busy…

At the same time, Luo Yan and Shen Tao were also dumbfounded. After lowering the volume of my phone’s ringtone, I put on my coat and left the dormitory, heading to the research room.

Just as I was about to reach the research room, two familiar figures suddenly appeared and stopped me. Speak of the devil! The ones who came were Luo Yan and Shen Tao.

I wasn’t surprised to see them in the research room. They probably knew about the award and wanted to re-enter the HIV Research Group.

Unfortunately, I said at the time that it was easy to leave the HIV Research Group, but it would be very difficult to return to the group! I thought that Luo Yan and Shen Tao would at least be humble in front of me, but they were still so arrogant.

They were almost looking down at me with their nostrils, which made me angry. Seeing that I didn’t say anything, Luo Yan took the lead and questioned, “Lin Luo, why didn’t you inform Shen Tao and me about your thesis?”

“We’re also from the HIV Research Group. Yet you didn’t inform us. Are you targeting us?”

Shen Tao still agreed with Luo Yan and said, “That’s right, Sister Yan is right. We’re a team to begin with. Without our documents, would the thesis win the award?”

“You’re going to forget our contributions now that you’ve won the award? Pfft.”

The two of them were both shameless. I almost rolled my eyes.

“No, I say, you two, don’t you have any shame?” I didn’t give them any face and immediately retorted, “You guys were the ones who suggested leaving the HIV group. At that time, you guys chose to leave. Lin Hai and I didn’t stop you.”

I suddenly changed the topic. “But now that the thesis has won the award, it has nothing to do with you. Please don’t disturb Lin Hai and me anymore. Thank you.”

I emphasized the last two words. After saying that, Luo Yan and Shen Tao’s faces turned gloomy. They looked at me in disbelief.

“Lin Luo, do you really think that you’re the one who won the award for your thesis?” Luo Yan asked after a while.

“Oh, it’s because our documents are in place that our thesis won the award! You’re not going to admit it now?”

Shen Tao also glared at me as if I owed him 5 million Yuan.

“Your documents were full of mistakes and complicated,” I said. “Even if I wanted to use them, I don’t have the strength,” I said, one word at a time.

“I was the one who organized and edited the contents of my thesis. Of course, Lin Hai also contributed to it. It’s too late for you to get a share of the profits now!”

My voice was sonorous and powerful. Luo Yan and Shen Tao were intimidated by my aura. Shen Tao asked for help and pulled on Luo Yan’s clothes. When Luo Yan came back to her senses, she glared at Shen Tao and said to me impatiently, “Lin Luo, who gave you such confidence?”

“You’re using our documents, and you want to take all the credit? There’s no such good thing!” She crossed her arms and said, “If you don’t welcome Shen Tao and I back to the HIV Research Group, don’t blame us for telling the teacher. I believe the teacher will definitely give us a reasonable solution.”

“But if teacher knows about this, what kind of impression will you leave on him? Lin Luo, you can think about it. Do you really need us to find a teacher?”

Her tone was full of threat. Shen Tao regained his confidence because of Luo Yan’s words. He smiled and looked extremely despicable.

“..”

Were they a man and a woman of common faith? They were the ones who organized the documents. If I were to organize the original draft, would I get the award? They knew how to be shameless.

“Alright, whatever you want.” I waved my hand. “Now, can you make way?”

Luo Yan and Shen Tao completely blocked my way to the research room.

Total eyesores.

“You! Don’t pretend to be calm.” Seeing that I wasn’t afraid, Luo Yan flew into a rage out of humiliation. “Let’s see if you’ll still be as calm as you are now when the teacher calls you.”

“Let’s go and find the teacher,” Luo Yan said to Shen Tao.

But after hearing Luo Yan’s words, Shen Tao suddenly hesitated.

He whispered to Luo Yan,”Sister Yan, I’ve read the beginning of Lin Luo’s paper, and he did not use our documents. Should we calm down?”

How could Luo Yan be obedient now? She was now completely consumed by jealousy.

“Shen Tao, are you speaking up for Lin Luo?” She said coldly.

Shen Tao saw Luo Yan’s reaction and instantly became obedient,”Yes, yes, yes, I was silly.”

“Let’s go, Sister Yan. We’ll reason with the teacher!”

Shen Tao looked at me provocatively after saying that.

“Is this a play of the master and the dog?” After Luo Yan and Shen Tao left, I shook my head. Two r*tards.

“Each one is more confident than the other.”

..

After sending them off, I successfully arrived at the research room. Lin Hai was in the room, working on some documents. His hair was a mess. I knew that he was passionate about the HIV research.

I gently pushed the door open and slowly walked into the research room. When I arrived in front of Lin Hai, he noticed my existence.

“Lin Luo, why don’t you make any sound when you walk?” Lin Hai patted his chest and reacted quickly. “Alright, great hero, sit down!”

Lin Hai pulled out a seat and motioned for me to sit.

I sat on the chair. “Luo Yan and Shen Tao were at the door just now. They wanted to return to the HIV Research Group, so I sent them away.”

“They still have the face to come?” Lin Hai’s face instantly turned red from anger. ” When the research team was in dire straits, they were threatening me with leaving. Now, because of your help, the research team has gained some benefits for them, and they’re back. Shameless!”

I patted Lin Hai’s shoulder, indicating for him not to be angry.

“They’re probably on their way to find teacher now. We’ll receive teacher’s notice in a while.”

I looked at the time and estimated Luo Yan and Shen Tao’s speed.

“They still have the face to look for a teacher?” Lin Hai said in disbelief.

“They think that the thesis won the award because of the documents they collected,” I explained simply.

“When the teacher comes to find us, we’ll give them a hard slap in the face.”

A hint of slyness flashed in my eyes. I was even looking forward to finding the teacher and confronting them. At this moment, Lin Hai’s phone vibrated, and a message popped up on the screen.

[ Lin Hai, come to my office with Lin Luo.]

[ Bring the thesis materials, hurry up. ]
