Chapter 468: Can you afford to compensate?
Li Ru looked at Li Qiao with a sense of horror, feeling that her sinking brows and eyes made her look particularly terrifying.
It took quite a while for Li Ru to find her voice again, "Have you lost your mind? This equipment is nearly a million, can you even afford to pay for it?"
She didn’t particularly hate Li Qiao, but she certainly didn’t like her either.
As an experienced intermediate researcher, she couldn’t stand the way Qiao always interacted with people in such an indifferent and relaxed manner.
In a research institute like theirs that valued seniority, newcomers like Li Qiao and Lian Zhen were bound to be suppressed and looked down upon.
Because every junior researcher had gone through the same thing.
It was like an unwritten rule, one had to endure a special kind of ’tempering’ to be acknowledged by their colleagues.
At that moment, Li Qiao glanced at Li Ru indifferently. The dense ink-like color in her eyes faded slightly, and she curled her lips upwards, wilful and rebellious.
An instrument worth just under a million, what couldn’t she afford to pay for?
Even if it were a hundred billion, what of it?
Li Qiao let out a soft, cold laugh, which made Li Ru feel an even greater sense of scornful disdain.
