Chapter 405: Chapter 394: Slapped in the Face
“Look, I gave you all a chance just now, and you didn’t take it. Now that things have developed to this point, don’t blame me if you’re kicked out,”
especially you, Qiao Jing. You insist on acting superior, and it’s you who got thrown out—”
Before she could finish her sentence, the security guards took her by the arms, one on either side, and dragged her outside.
Gao Lihong was stunned, staring incredulously at the guards as she started to shout loudly.

“You’ve got the wrong person!! The one called Qiao Jing standing over there is the one who should be thrown out!!!”
After she said this, she realized that everyone around her was looking at her as if she were insane.
The faces of the guards even showed disdain?!
What in the world was happening?!
Before she could come to her senses, she was already dumped outside the doors of the research institute.
After everything was done, the guards returned to their posts, guarding the entrance of the research institute.
Gao Lihong collapsed onto the ground, stunned. She scrambled up from the ground, not caring about her disheveled hair or her current, disheveled appearance.
“Security, isn’t there some mistake? Didn’t Professor Xu tell you to throw Qiao Jing out?”
The guards must have thrown out the wrong person!
How could Professor Xu possibly allow the guards to throw her out?
The guards, almost in unison, looked back at Gao Lihong with that same ‘looking at a madman’ expression.
This woman actually dared to provoke Professor Qiao, she deserved it.
And to have them throw out Professor Qiao?
They were not crazy!
Only the guard closest to Gao Lihong responded to her remarks.
“Please leave. No one is allowed to enter the research institute except for its staff!”
Gao Lihong was completely flabbergasted. She took out her mobile phone, pulled up the message from the person in charge of the institute, and showed it to the guard.
“I’ve already passed the interview, I’m going to be a staff member of the institute from now on, why can’t I go in?”
The guard glanced at the phone screen.
At that moment, a new message chimed in.
The guard spoke emotionlessly, urging her to leave.
“I’m sorry, miss, but you haven’t completed the onboarding process, and moreover, your interview results have been revoked. Please leave immediately!”
Gao Lihong’s eyes widened, she snatched back the phone, and as she enlarged the text, she said,
“Who told you my interview results were revoked? I was the top candidate, how could I possibly—”
Before she could finish, she saw the newly received message.
“Miss Gao, your interview result has been revoked, and you are blacklisted from employment for life.”
Gao Lihong’s hand clutching the phone began to tremble uncontrollably as she stared in disbelief at the message over and over again.
Between the lines, the message was clear—she had been put on the blacklist at Professor Qiao’s Research Institute!
Just then, her phone vibrated once more.
Frantic, she scrolled down the screen, hoping to see a message from the person in charge saying it was all a big mistake, sent wrongly.
But it was nothing of the sort, just a piece of junk advertisement.
Desperate to understand what was going on, she sent a message back.
However, next to the message she sent was a red exclamation mark.
She had been deleted!!
Gao Lihong’s heart sank as she exited the chat with the person in charge. At that moment, someone in the university work group tagged her.
“Professor Gao, has the interview ended? How did it go?”
“Isn’t that obvious? Of course, Professor Gao passed.”
“When is Professor Gao going to treat us to a meal to celebrate?”
“…”
Messages in the group chat celebrated Gao Lihong’s successful interview and her official employment at Professor Qiao’s Research Institute.
Her already pale face turned even whiter, as if she had swallowed a fly, those celebratory messages seemingly slapping her in the face.
She had originally passed, but it was because of Qiao Jing that she got thrown out!
Qiao Jing must have been afraid she had surpassed her, so taking advantage of her status as an old employee, used dirty and despicable means, bribing Professor Xu to have her kicked out.
But no matter, the day after tomorrow is the conference.
She must find a way to attend Professor Qiao’s conference!
There, she would shine in front of Professor Qiao himself, gaining his recognition and steadfastly trampling Qiao Jing underfoot!
Inside the research institute.
After seeing the person thrown out, Qiao Jing didn’t bother with it anymore and prepared to return to her lab to continue working.
Xu Hongzu’s anger had not subsided as he glared in the direction of the institute’s entrance.
“Xiao Jing, that person was my oversight during the review, don’t be mad because of her, and don’t take what she said to heart.
I thought she had some ability, but I never expected her character to be so poor! She even dared to ask you to pour water? I should pour water over her head!”
Zhan Nanqing showed a satisfied smile on her face, nodding in total agreement with Xu Hongzu’s words.
“Exactly, exactly, Professor Xu, you know, that Gao Lihong just dragged your name into it, saying you would have Qiao Jing thrown out and that you were here to back her up.”
Xu Hongzu snorted heavily in anger.
“How is that possible! Why would I protect her instead of my future granddaughter-in-law?”
The smile on Zhan Nanqing’s face suddenly stiffened, and she silently retracted her bared teeth and straightened her face.
“Professor Xu, Qiao Jing is my sister-in-law.”
She could somewhat understand now why her brother was so prone to jealousy.
After all, so many people outside were coveting Qiao Jing.
Even Xu Hongzu was!
Only then did Xu Hongzu realize there was another Zhan Family member present, but he wasn’t about to be polite to a Zhan.
“Hmph, that’s just for now, who can say for sure about the future?”
Zhan Nanqing clenched her teeth, wanting badly to retort Xu Hongzu, but since he was an elder, it wasn’t appropriate to speak out, so she expressed her thoughts subtly.
“Professor Xu, Qiao Jing and my brother are very happy together right now.”
She had to keep an eye on Qiao Jing in the research institute, because if Xu Moqian and Xu Hongzu, the grandfather and grandson, joined forces, they would still pose a significant threat.
Xu Hongzu looked at Zhan Nanqing with a disdainful expression.
“I’ve already said, it’s only for now. What, you want to argue with this old man?”
He couldn’t let the Zhan Family take all the benefits!
He still vividly remembered the days when Zhan Yuanshan fought him for a woman.
That shameless Zhan Yuanshan, who should have been with him as childhood sweethearts, was snatched away by Zhan Yuanshan’s relentless pursuit.
And now here came that old turtle’s grandson!
Speechless, Zhan Nanqing’s mouth twitched, unable to squeeze out a word.
If the person standing in front of her right now had been Xu Moqian, she would’ve unhesitatingly called him a homewrecker.
But unfortunately, it was Xu Hongzu in front of her.
