Chapter 128: Chapter 128: The Strategist Behind the Scenes

As they walked out with their bags, Kali deliberately glanced over at the other areas of the restaurant.

She didn’t see Qin Nanyu and was quite disappointed as she slung an arm over Ji Weitian’s shoulder, "I thought I could have an unexpected encounter with my dream guy over afternoon tea. It seems that heaven isn’t so kind to me. But you said Young Master Yu isn’t here for a meal, so what could he be doing here?"

Ji Weitian took the bill from the reception, handed it to Kali to sign, and spoke without thinking, "Who knows? Considering how sneaky he was acting earlier, maybe he’s tracking someone."

"It’s over, it must be me. I just took over the branch office; Young Master Yu must be worried about me, so he’s observing me in secret." Kali clutched the bill in her hands, suddenly tense.

Ji Weitian rolled her eyes at her, forcefully took the bill from her hands, handed it to the reception, and dragged her out of the restaurant.

Seeing that Kali still looked worried about her performance, Ji Weitian couldn’t resist teasing her, "As the head of a small branch office, do you really think you’re that important to a huge corporation like Qin Technology? Instead of thinking Qin Nanyu is following you because of your poor work performance, maybe he thinks you’re doing too well and wants to see if you have a strategist supporting you from behind."

This comment immediately lifted Kali’s spirits.

She hailed a taxi for Ji Weitian, closed the door after her, and watched her leave.

When Ji Weitian got home, she found a message on her phone from the academic director.

She had been complained about.

The reason being that she had left her work post during her shift.

Ji Weitian sucked in a breath of cold air, so angry she nearly threw her phone.

Setting aside the fact that she had finished her work before leaving, even if she hadn’t, she had asked for leave. Who had the audacity to go to the academic director to complain about her?

Thinking back to the afternoon’s events, Ji Weitian didn’t hesitate to blame Qin Nanyu.

This harbinger of bad luck actually took his personal grudge public, it was too much!

Ji Weitian was so angry she hardly slept all night, and the next morning she went early to the laboratory, intending to confront Qin Nanyu.

Just as she approached the door to the document room, she saw someone leaning against the wall near her office door, pale as a ghost, head drooping... like a corpse.

Ji Weitian jumped back in fright, but then she recognized the person was Lei Yunjia and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, remembering something, she anxiously stepped forward, reaching out to see if he was still breathing. Just as she extended her hand, Lei Yunjia opened his eyes.

His expression was groggy, as if he had just woken up.

Seeing Ji Weitian, he awkwardly scratched his head, "Teacher Ji, you’re here. I wanted to get some documents from you. I didn’t expect to fall asleep while waiting at your door."

Ji Weitian glanced at the time; it was seven in the morning.

She thought she would be the first person to arrive at the lab building.

She hadn’t expected to turn her head and see that the lights were on in the adjacent laboratory, where she could faintly hear voices discussing something.

Then she looked up at Lei Yunjia in front of her and noticed the redness in his eyes.

"Have you not solved the problem with the experiment yet?" Ji Weitian asked.

"Not yet, we’ve been unsuccessful in optimizing the algorithm. Qin Technology Group notified us yesterday that we have to deliver the results of this phase of the experiment by today at the latest, so everyone stayed, not leaving, to continue the experiment together."

As soon as Lei Yunjia finished speaking, a shrill voice interjected.

"Lei Yunjia, you were supposed to get some documents, how could it take you so long? Everyone’s been waiting for you."
