Forced to Date a Big Shot

Chapter 629: Little Square’s Purpose

In the laboratory.

The three of them were still arguing.

Xue Xi sized up the people outside. They were all craning their necks to look over, and all of them had uneasy expressions.

She knew that their heart was wavering.

Although the project had only been going on for a month and a half, it had been stuck in the current process for half a month.

She turned to look at the agitated person arguing with Li Zixia and suddenly said, “Okay.”

These two words stunned the three of them.

Everyone turned to look at her.

Xue Xi simply walked out of the office and opened the door to look outside. Her gaze swept past the mathematics students who were still sleeping and then at the rest of the ignorant and nervous people. She then said, “If anyone else wants to leave, you can say it directly. I’ll calculate the allowance for this month clearly.”

Everyone was stunned.

Li Zixia widened her eyes. “Sister Xi…”

Xie Yingying also wanted to speak, but Xue Xi shook her head slightly. After indicating for her to not speak, she slowly said, “I was the one who initiated the project. In the past half a month, there has been no progress in the project, and that is indeed my greater responsibility. I know that some of you are under a lot of pressure, especially those who have their families and futures to think of. It is I who did not consider your feelings well. Hence, if you guys want to leave, I will ask the four directors to help you join a better project.”

The entire laboratory fell silent.

The students’ eyes turned red.

Sister Xi knew.

She understood everything.

When they came to participate in this project, they came under a lot of external pressure. They were hesitant about the future and persuaded by their relatives and friends to not do it, but they still came. It was because they had faith in Sister Xi’s personal charm.

However, this kind of faith was the easiest to collapse.

When they realized that even Sister Xi could not help them solve the math problem in half a month, their minds collapsed.

This kind of collapse was contagious.

Someone lowered his head and wiped the tears at the corners of his eyes.

However, someone else said, “Sister Xi, don’t blame yourself! They’re leaving not because of you! It’s because they have a better place to go!”

Xue Xi paused when she heard this.

Li Zixia seemed to have understood something and said angrily, “What happened?”

That person said, “In the past few days, there’s a person called Li Xuelei who applied for a project. This project is even more loaded! Moreover, I heard that his family gave him support. He’s currently searching for people at high prices everywhere! He even specifically said that if someone from our side goes over, he will give them double the allowance! Sister Xi, if you don’t believe me, ask Liu Xiu. He definitely knows!”

Liu Xiu was the first person to initiate leaving.

Xue Xi looked at him.

Xie Yingying said angrily, “Alright, I was wondering why you suddenly quit. So it turns out that you’ve found a new place! Then get lost. We don’t want people like you!”

Liu Xiu flew into a rage out of humiliation and said fiercely, “Don’t want me? I don’t want you guys! Not only did the other party offer me double the allowance, but the project is also very simple. It’s also in the most profitable telecommunications field! Why wouldn’t I join such a good project and follow you guys to do things that are impossible to complete?”

He turned to look at the rest. “Since we’ve already said this, let me say this. The neighboring Li Xuelei is currently recruiting. The allowance is twice the amount we have here. As long as you guys go over, there will definitely be no problem! Is anyone else coming with me?”

The allowance from Xue Xi’s laboratory had already reached 5,000 yuan a month.

This was equivalent to the salary of a fresh graduate. Relatively speaking, it was the highest in the school.

If it was twice as much as here, that meant 10,000 a month?

This temptation was too great!

Although they were all students of Huaxia University, they were all from ordinary families. When Liu Xiu said this, a few people wavered.

Those who could gather here were all elites in the school.

If they were all poached, how were they going to recruit more people?

Li Zixia roared, “That’s enough! The Light Source Machine is such a great project! It’s already a blessing to be able to participate in this project. Don’t you want to make your resume more glorious?”

Liu Xiu laughed. “Are our resumes lacking? This project can’t be done! China is a huge country. It has been pursuing foreign technology for so many years and has never caught up to it. How can it be completed?! Back then, we followed Sister Xi because we wanted to fulfill a dream, but now that we’ve woken up from it, we should continue living our own lives.”

Li Zixia: “You…!”

At this moment, Zheng Zhi appeared at the door. He sneered. “You want to leave? Do you think it’s that simple? Don’t forget that we’ve signed an agreement! It’s fine if you want to leave, but you have to compensate us with three times the penalty!”

Liu Xiu was furious. “How can you guys do this?”

Zheng Zhi, who was dressed in a suit, stood up straight and stared coldly at Liu Xiu. “Stupid ordinary people. I had you sign this agreement back then because I was wary of something like this happening!”

Liu Xiu: “…”

The people who wanted to leave earlier instantly revealed angry expressions and became dissatisfied.

Liu Xiu looked at Xue Xi. “We’re still students! It’s impossible for us to sign a labor contract. There’s definitely a problem with your agreement! We can sue you guys in court!”

Court?

Zheng Zhi sneered.
