Chapter 401: Chapter 390: Gao Lihong Deliberately Sets the Tone to Smear Qiao Jing

Gao Lihong also took this opportunity to act like a good person and started to speak up for Qiao Jing.

“Professor Liu is right, we are all colleagues after all, and Qiao Jing is indeed impressive, which I admit, but there’s no need to argue anymore.”

After Professor Liu spoke up to end the topic, no one continued discussing Qiao Jing and shifted the conversation to Gao Lihong.

“What are you talking about, Professor Gao? Is it only Qiao Jing who is impressive, and not you? After you pass the interview tomorrow, you’re going to be a staff member of the Research Institute. How can Qiao Jing compare to you? Right, are you going to treat us after the interview tomorrow? I’ve already picked out the place.”

“Yeah, with such great news, you have to treat us to a meal to celebrate, right?”

“Treating you is not a problem, I’m just worried that my skills might not be enough and I could be passed over in the second round of interviews. But I think, if Qiao Jing also came to the interview, she might possibly pass too.”

Gao Lihong was only saying these things to appear humble; there was no way she could be passed over.

After all, she was one of the top talents from Agricultural University!

She had passed the first round of interviews, so the second round would definitely not pose a problem!

Mentioning Qiao Jing was only to stir these people into another frenzy, to have them curse Qiao Jing a few more times, which would make her feel more comfortable.

The times when she was in the spotlight flashed through her mind again.

But then Qiao Jing burst onto the scene partway through and stole all her glory.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She picked up a dart again and threw it at the photo of Qiao Jing, one after another, until there were countless holes, and only then did she stop.

Professor Wang continued to butter up Gao Lihong.

“Lihong, don’t worry, you’ll definitely be fine. You passed the first round, don’t be so doubtful of yourself. Qiao Jing has been out of school for so long, her professional knowledge must have long been forgotten. What’s there to compare with her?”

Suddenly, a professor who had been lurking sent a message.

“I seem to have seen Qiao Jing enter Professor Qiao’s Research Institute last month.”

As soon as this message went out, the group exploded again.

Qiao Jing watched the previous chat with an expressionless face, until she saw this message and frowned slightly.

Seen by someone?

The people in the group didn’t want to believe this professor’s words at all, especially Professor Wang, who reacted as if he had been electrocuted and immediately jumped in.

“How could that be possible? You must have seen it wrong, right? It was probably just someone who looked like her?”

The professors who were on Gao Lihong’s side also started questioning this professor.

“You only said it ‘seemed like’ her, you didn’t confirm it was Qiao Jing.”

“Although Qiao Jing is quite impressive, she isn’t so impressive as to be at Professor Qiao’s Research Institute, right?”

After a series of messages from them, the professor who had spoken began to doubt whether he had mistaken it as well.

“Oh, then I must have been mistaken, I’m not sure, thought she looked like her from the side profile and figure. But I think Qiao Jing is really capable. She has the qualifications to go to Professor Qiao’s Research Institute; after all, she is the top talent of our Agricultural University.”

When Gao Lihong saw those words, “the top talent,” used to describe Qiao Jing, she clenched her phone tightly, and the veins on the back of her hand stood out.

Ha! The top talent of Agricultural University?

That title was meant for her!

After she passes the second round of exams tomorrow, everyone will surely recognize that she is Agricultural University’s top talent.

What is Qiao Jing compared to her?

Nothing at all! After tomorrow, she will be a member of Professor Qiao’s Research Institute.

And Qiao Jing? She’s probably off somewhere being a vase!

Inside the Research Institute.

Qiao Jing stayed on the chat page of this group without expressing her opinion.

Zhan Nanqing noticed Qiao Jing’s unusual behavior and felt curious.

You should know that nothing could disturb Qiao Jing when she was working.

But today, surprisingly, she wasn’t working; instead, she had been looking at her phone for so long.

What on earth was in that phone that made Qiao Jing stare at it for so long?

The more she thought about it, the more curious she became, feeling a bit itchy inside. She started to slowly move her feet and approached Qiao Jing.

She successfully peeked at Qiao Jing’s phone screen and found herself in a colleague group chat.

And the messages were all criticizing and bad-mouthing Qiao Jing, with someone named Gao Lihong playing the good Samaritan.

At the same time, she saw the pinned notice at the top of the chat and frowned.

“Qiao Jing, if your colleague comes in for an interview tomorrow, is that really okay?”

Qiao Jing set down her phone and resumed her work, speaking indifferently.

“It doesn’t matter to me whether they come or not.”

She wasn’t responsible for recruiting new staff; as long as those who were hired were capable and responsible, that was fine.

Zhan Nanqing watched Qiao Jing’s indifferent expression and, holding back for a moment, suddenly blurted out.

“I actually hope she does come.”

Qiao Jing stopped her work and looked at Zhan Nanqing with a puzzled expression.

“Do you know her?”

Zhan Nanqing quickly shook her head.

“No, I don’t. I’m just saying.”

She had just seen how Gao Lihong spoke with a strong green tea vibe and deliberately set the pace in the group chat, feigning the appearance of a good person.

And it was only after passing the first round of interviews that she made a point to post a notice, clearly wanting to be showered with compliments.

She wanted Gao Lihong to come for the interview simply to let her see what status Qiao Jing truly held and for Gao Lihong to realize her own worth.

How dare she stir the pot in the group? Saying Qiao Jing is amazing and purposely inciting others to badmouth Qiao Jing.

She hadn’t even met Gao Lihong yet but could tell this person was full of b*tchiness.

Zhan Nanqing was quite enraged and continued to inquire.

“If she passes the interview tomorrow, would you let her stay and work here?”

She didn’t want such a vexing coworker around.

As Qiao Jing shifted back to work, she took a moment to respond to Zhan Nanqing.

“It’s fine as long as things are done by the book. That matter is Grandpa Xu’s responsibility.”

Professor Qiao’s Research Institute indeed needed new staff, and she wasn’t one to quibble over a few words someone said.

Zhan Nanqing’s brow furrowed, her face full of distaste.

“But the rules of the Research Institute are set by you. You’re Professor Qiao, after all. If you don’t want her to come, she definitely won’t be able to.”

If she had to work with someone like Gao Lihong in the future, there was no guarantee they wouldn’t end up arguing one day.

Qiao Jing glanced at Zhan Nanqing and spoke in an even tone.

“She is indeed quite talented.”

While working at the university, she had already gotten to know the varying levels of the professors’ abilities.

And Gao Lihong’s ability was above average; it wouldn’t be a problem for her to work at the Research Institute.

Zhan Nanqing pouted.

“Even if she is talented, she’s still far behind you.”

In her heart, if Qiao Jing were ranked second, no one would dare to claim they were first.
