Chapter 24 - The Storm of Recruiting Newcomers

Chapter 24 The Storm of Recruiting Newcomers

This morning, Lucy sent me a message saying that she was about to start the test. I responded to her and asked her to check the questions carefully before going to the classroom.

The whole day of classes made me dizzy. Finally, the bell for the end of class rang. I picked up my bag and headed to the HIV Research Group.

As soon as I reached the research room floor, I sensed that something was wrong. It should have been lively outside the door, but it was unusually quiet now. Only the faint sound of sobbing could be heard.

Just as I was feeling puzzled, a sharp female voice came from the crowd.

“Hey, Shen Xiaoxiao, you’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?”

“You purposely spilled the drink on my limited edition jacket, can you afford to pay for it? How unlucky!”

?

I silently appeared in the crowd. In the middle of the crowd, there were two girls. One of them was a bright and beautiful girl with her arms crossed. She was looking down at the girl who was trying to get up from the ground.

The other one was pushed to the ground. She must have twisted her foot and couldn’t get up no matter what. She was so anxious that her eyes were red.

“Hmph, how dare she provoke Lu Baining? She’s more or less overestimating her own ability.”

“You don’t know, right? Her name is Shen Xiaoxiao, and she’s Sister Baining’s high school classmate. I heard that she was a foxy vixen in high school and seduced her classmates. Sister Baining would always scold her to get rid of evil for the people.”

“Shen Xiaoxiao still dares to appear in front of Lu Baining? Who gave her the guts?”

“Heh, Shen Xiaoxiao even signed up to join the HIV Research Group’s recruitment. What a joke. With her IQ, is she worthy?”

“That’s right. Does Shen Xiaoxiao deserve to fight with Lu Baining?”

“How ridiculous. Shen Xiaoxiao still dares to come to C University? Doesn’t she know that Lu Baining’s uncle is the vice-principal of C University? Is she looking for a beating?” “Tsk tsk, I like to watch stories about the domineering female lead abusing scum!”

The words of the surrounding crowd entered my ears, and I more or less understood this matter. But…

Shen Xiaoxiao, who was pushed to the ground, was indeed beautiful. However, based on my experience in judging people, I didn’t think she was someone who would seduce people randomly.

The truth of the matter might not be what they

said. After all, the historical data was compiled by the victors. Lu Baining could naturally twist the truth.

Moreover, the way Lu Baining was bullying Shen Xiaoxiao made it impossible for me to think of her as a beautiful woman with upright moral values.

“Stop talking. You don’t know anything. What right do you have to gossip?” Shen Xiaoxiao wiped her tears, endured the pain in her ankle, and prepared to get up.

Just as she was about to get up, I saw that Lu Baining was frowning and about to kick her. That was vicious. I couldn’t watch the show as an onlooker anymore, so I quickly walked in front of Lu Baining and stopped her from doing anything.

“Don’t go too far. The students are watching,” I said indifferently.

My sudden appearance stunned Lu Baining, and Shen Xiaoxiao stood up successfully. “Who are you? Mind your own business” Lu Baining said viciously after failing to do what she wanted to.

Her eyes were sharp, as if she wanted to eat me up. She didn’t look like a good person at all.

“I’m not being a busybody. It’s just that they’re about to recruit new students. Aren’t you afraid of lowering the examiner’s favorability by causing trouble here?” I didn’t refute fiercely. My tone was exceptionally calm. “As far as I know, joining the HIV Research Group can also greatly increase your credits. It’ll help your future employment prospects, right?”

“If you continue, it’ll affect your future.”

My nonchalant words stunned the crowd. They were all seriously considering my words. “That’s true. There’s no need to waste your

good mood on Shen Xiaoxiao.”

“The most important thing for us right now is

to join the the HIV Research Group recruitment. Don’t be a busybody.” “The first impression of the members of the

HIV Research Group is very important. Shut up and don’t be the first bird to stick out. We all

know that the gunshot hits the bird that sticks out.”

“It’s Lu Baining and Shen Xiaoxiao’s personal grudge. Let’s not get involved.”

“As far as the popularity of the HIV research group is concerned… we’d better take

advantage of the present.”

…

Because of what I said, most of the people in

the crowd started to realize the truth. They began to review their knowledge about HIV in order to increase the possibility of joining the

HIV Research Group.

…

Lu Baining’s evil actions were no longer supported. She glared at me.

She walked in front of me and said coldly, “You

won’t have a good ending if you’re a busybody. You’re also here to join the HIV Research Group’s recruitment, right? I’ll definitely be able to join the research group. As for you…”

After Lu Baining sized me up, she continued, “I have plenty of ways to prevent you from joining the research team!” “Wow, that’s amazing. I’m so scared.” I was

pretending. And join the HIV Research Group? Lu Baining did not know that the person

standing in front of her was one of the only two members of the HIV Research Group! And you’re threatening me? I started to look forward to Lu Baining’s expression when she found out that I was the examiner. I almost laughed just thinking about it.

“Then you’re amazing.” I gave her a thumbs up unhurriedly, but my tone was still nonchalant. “Now, can you move? You’re blocking the way.”

|||||

Lu Baining’s eyes widened. She clenched her

fists in anger, but there were enough onlookers, so she didn’t flare up again. She

could only give way.

“Thank you…”

Just as I was walking into the research room, I

heard a soft voice. It was Shen Xiaoxiao. You’re too polite, it’s just a small matter.

When I entered the research room, Lin Hai was already sorting out the data. I briefly described what happened just now to Lin Hai. After

listening, Lin Hai gave some unusual insight.

“I know Shen Xiaoxiao and Lu Baining. We studied in the same high school.”

I raised my eyebrows. Fate was wonderful

beyond words.

“According to the rumors, I know that Shen

Xiaoxiao is not a bad girl. It’s just that her family is in a difficult situation. Lu Baining had the advantage of her good family background and was jealous of Shen Xiaoxiao’s beauty, so

she started to target her.”

“As for the method of targeting…” Lin Hai

paused. “It’s not like what they said. They’re just scolding Shen Xiaoxiao.” “School violence.”

Lin Hai emphasized the last two words. I really

had guessed right. I knew that Lu Baining was

not simple.

“I see.” I nodded. “Her character is terrible.” While I was chatting with Lin Hai, the participants of the recruitment were already

preparing to enter the research room. I won’t comment on this matter anymore. When the door to the research room was pushed open, I was asking Lucy about how her test was going. After replying to her message, I

raised my head and saw a familiar figure. Lu Baining.

“Oh, we meet again.”

Lu Baining’s face was full of smiles. After I said

that, she saw my face clearly, and her smile froze and gradually disappeared. No, it didn’t disappear. It should be said that the smile had shifted to my face.

“You… How could it be you?” Lu Baining looked at me in disbelief.

“Let me introduce you.” Lin Hai also cleared

his throat and said, “This is a core member of our HIV Research Group, Lin Luo.” He then added, “Why? do you know each

other? Acquaintances?”

I saw that Lu Baining’s face, which was originally red, turned even paler in an instant. The expression on her face became more

complicated.
