Behind her, Yi Juncheng saw that her hair was so wet that she hadn’t even dried it, so he naturally picked up a towel and dried her hair.

Sheng Yang also behaved like an obedient kitten and let him be. She usually had a very clear sense of boundaries and wasn’t someone who liked to be intimate with others, but he was the only one who could step into her territory.

Yi Juncheng sensed the sharpness in her flat gaze. After drying her hair, he cupped her face in his hands. She looked slender, and her face was small, the size of his palm. Her small face was cupped in his palm while swaying a little. He pecked her lightly on the lips. The kiss carried no desire.

His peach blossom eyes were smiling, but the smile did not reach his eyes. “Who offended you?”

As long as she was too lazy to deal with those who offended her, he would eliminate them all for her.

!!

Sheng Yang thought about what Lan Ran had said. It was an influential organization in Lancashire. She wasn’t afraid, nor did she think Yi Juncheng would be. It was just that she thought it was a challenge to confront a local tyrant when she was new here. It was quite interesting.

‘Irrelevant forces. I can deal with them.’

“Well, that’s good. But if it takes a long time, you must let me know.”

Yi Juncheng’s eyes were filled with killing intent. He didn’t know that it was geared at himself.

The next day, the research institute…

Thinking of what Zhou Feiyang had told him that day, the team leader still had lingering fears. Fortunately, he didn’t go to the dean. But at the same time, his hatred for Sheng Yang deepened. He thought that she was scheming and deliberately made things difficult for him.

As her superior, not only did she not curry favor with him, but she even gave him a difficult problem!

Over the past few days, the team leader had become a little smarter. On the surface, he was gentle and genial to Sheng Yang, but in secret, he gave her more and more experimental projects.

He was waiting for the day when she would open her mouth and beg him for mercy!

However, to his surprise, Sheng Yang didn’t seem miserable. Instead, she seemed to be enjoying it. Every day, she was happier than the day before.

Her expression was unreadable, but her busy movements seemed to reveal her joy.

The team leader refused to believe it. He had been here for almost 10 years and had not been promoted, but he had seen a lot of team members. He had never seen anything like her.

He felt that this was an illusion. She was deliberately confusing him so that he would give up the idea of torturing her.

Therefore, he continued to increase Sheng Yang’s workload and watched her become happier and happier.

In the dean’s office –

Zhou Rusheng was playing with the amber in his palm. The amber emitted a clear light.

There was a hidden door at the back of his office that no one but a handful of people knew about. He straightened slightly at the knock on the door, but he didn’t let go of the amber. “Come in.”

A person came in and stood with their back facing the light. There wasn’t much light there, so one could only see a rough outline. Even their faces were obscured.

This person would report everything that happened to Sheng Yang to Zhou Rusheng every day. No one would know that although Zhou Rusheng seemed to be so cold to Sheng Yang, he was actually secretly paying attention to her.

Zhou Rusheng couldn’t help but smile at her performance. He knew that her enthusiasm for research was real.

He could tell that Sheng Yang’s talent was actually better than Lan Ran’s back then. It was one thing if she was a genius, but she also loved what she did. It was one thing if she loved it, but she was also working so hard. She was indeed the best candidate to accept this position.

The person was confused. “Dean, why are you paying so much attention to Sheng Yang?”
