Chapter 509 - 155: Farewell, Changing Maps_3
Su Xiaocai always respects the personal wishes of the employees. "If you don’t want to attend classes after work, you can watch the class videos yourselves."
Of course, the seven employees had no objections; before they could speak, the professors chimed in, expressing their eagerness about whether they could attend the classes together.
"You’ve all taken these courses; there’s no need." They had completed the advanced courses on the low-end Black Wing machines.
"We want to, we want to." That way they have the chance to ask questions and seek advice daily, and once Su Xiaocai leaves Capital Star, they will return to their respective positions.
"Teacher Su, if you ever need help, contact us, like for talent interviews and such tasks; I can help you screen candidates."
"I can too. Teacher Su needs talent; I can directly introduce my prized students to you next time; use them as you wish."
This was a serious offer, even offering his prized students to Su Xiaocai.
"Your prized students can’t compare to me; I can resign from my job to work with you."
Competing with the professors who came to the factory, expressing their usefulness and high value.
Pitifully, at their age, still contending.
The seven young professionals under 35 were like timid quails, not daring to speak in front of these big shots.
Luo Lianliang gathered courage to shuffle over, quietly moving behind Su Xiaocai.
"Teacher Su, thank you." After knowing her online for so long, it was Luo Lianliang’s first time meeting Su Xiaocai in person.
Su Xiaocai didn’t listen to the senseless chatter of these competitive professors; instead, she looked up at the equipment, pondering if there were any missing components or areas for optimization.
Su Xiaocai’s air wasn’t as amusing as seen online, but quite grounded.
In front of them, her tone was light, with a vague, cool clarity.
Upon hearing Luo Lianliang’s thanks, she slightly tilted her head, her softened profile diminishing some coldness; her eyes and brows curved into a smile, "You should thank yourself. It’s your effort that matters. It wasn’t me who interviewed you, but Professor Ai Shengping, who’s always stringent. If there’s no real skill, that interview wouldn’t be passed."
Standing out from tens of thousands is proof enough of Luo Lianliang’s capabilities.
Unexpectedly reminded of his grandfather’s words, Luo Lianliang’s cheeks flared red, shyly pinching his fingers, "I’m just doing it for a living."
"Don’t deny your own efforts; you’re amazing." Though Su Xiaocai wasn’t even as tall as Luo Lianliang’s armpit, she seemed like an elder as she patted his shoulder.
Luo Lianliang’s face reddened further, his eyes bright; if he had a tail, it would be wagging like a propeller.
After saying so much, Su Xiaocai didn’t give Luo Lianliang another glance, maintaining some distance.
When leaving, it was Kaye and Ji Li who came to pick her up. Before parting, Ji Li thoughtfully asked for her lab keys to continue her experiments on blue-gold self-healing mushrooms.
Also, to take care of her backyard, and later to watch over the abandoned villa area, now converted into a bamboo farm, all managed with his help.
Helping for free, without charging a fee.
But when he wants to eat bamboo shoots, he can freely pick them.
No employee is as cost-effective as Ji Li.
Su Xiaocai saw Ji Li leaning back in the seat, resting with closed eyes, as if glowing with a halo.
She waved to Ji Li with a smile, "Hello, Brother Ji."
Ji Li opened his eyes, noticing the few young people following her.
He immediately noticed a boy with a slightly tanned complexion seemed to have a unique feeling towards Su Xiaocai, looking at her with a shy, intriguing gaze.
He chuckled; youngsters these days.
Everyone knows rich women are appealing.
Before he could start teasing Su Xiaocai, she had already skipped over, opened the door, and threw herself at him lightly saying, "Brother Ji, we’ve been old partners, do me a favor."
Ji Li instantly understood, "Your romantic escapades are none of my business."
Su Xiaocai didn’t intend to invite romance, but the person was too pure; one smile and a compliment would spark affection.
Before anyone could develop deeper feelings, cutting it off directly was best, and they were her employees; she only wanted them to focus on their careers.
"Will you help or not?"
"How do I help? I don’t lay a hand on kids; you can’t ruin my good name."
"Saying it like you’ve ever laid a hand on anyone."
Ji Li: "..."
Su Xiaocai had Ji Li’s arm over her shoulder, and that’s it.
She pretended to be joyous with a bright smile in front of Ji Li, acting like a typical young girl.
Ji Li wanted to push her away, but she held onto his hand tightly. Su Xiaocai was like a warm hand warmer, none of the online rumors about girls being soft and slightly cool.
