Chapter 178: Chapter 178 I Think the Problem is With You

Su Yunyao felt icy cold, even though it was July.

She was also burning with rage, staring hatefully at He Xiuyu’s office door.

After a moment, Su Yunyao walked outside.

As she passed the data room, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Shen Haoze was standing at the doorway, looking at her with a heavy gaze.

Su Yunyao felt a wave of guilt and embarrassment, but she forcefully suppressed these emotions. Since that conference, Shen Haoze had always looked at her with a gloomy expression, and his tone was not as friendly as before.

Thinking about it, Su Yunyao couldn’t tell if she hated Old Mountain Eagle or feared him.

In the meeting, she had carefully observed everyone’s expressions—shock, disdain, mockery, confusion, disgust—all these complex emotions were displayed on their faces.

She thought that if it weren’t for her being in charge of project A-4, they would have fired her on the spot.

Even after the meeting had dispersed, she still hadn’t confirmed who Old Mountain Eagle was.

It was very quiet around her even now.

Su Yunyao forced a smile at Shen Haoze, feeling miserable inside, and her eyes reddened.

She didn’t know how she, a reincarnator, had ended up in this situation. Wasn’t she supposed to become the woman everyone admired, standing shoulder to shoulder with He Xiuyu?

How had she come to be despised by everyone?

She lifted her leg to leave, but unexpectedly, Shen Haoze grabbed her arm and dashed downstairs with big strides.

Shen Haoze was very strong, and Su Yunyao staggered as he pulled her, yelling in a lowered voice from behind, "Shen Haoze, what are you doing? Let go of me, you’re hurting my hand..."

Shen Haoze was unmoved, dragging her down the stairs, though he slowed down a bit.

They arrived on the first floor. Just then, Qiao Qingyu was getting off her bicycle and about to go inside, but she didn’t expect to find Shen Haoze and Su Yunyao in the hallway.

Shen Haoze said furiously, "Su Yunyao, I think you’re the one who’s gone mad. You’ve changed; you’ve become too unfamiliar—I don’t even know you anymore..."

Shen Haoze was so angry he was almost incoherent.

Su Yunyao gritted her teeth, "This is my own business, don’t meddle."

"I didn’t want to interfere, but look at what you just said to He Xiuyu. Should you be saying things like that? Do you want to erase all the affection we’ve had since childhood before you’ll be happy?"

At that moment, Shen Haoze lost his usual grace and composure, his face red with anger.

Su Yunyao, however, had calmed down. She looked coldly at Shen Haoze, arms crossed, "Shen Haoze, what I don’t understand is, if you like me, then why are you so close with He Xiuyu?"

Shen Haoze was taken aback, "Don’t avoid the question. I’m warning you, when you speak with He Xiuyu in the future, mind your status, mind your words. If things become irreparable, no one will be able to save you."

"I don’t need your saving. The only one who can save me in this world is myself." Su Yunyao walked forward a few steps, her embarrassment and guilt long concealed, feeling that life was bleak and joyless, almost wishing she had no memory of the past.

She was even somewhat aggressive, "Shen Haoze, I just don’t understand, if you truly like me, then He Xiuyu should be your rival in love, but I have never seen a man be as close as brothers with his rival in love, so I really doubt whether you like me or you like He Xiuyu?"

Outside, Qiao Qingyu felt very awkward, to enter or not to enter?

Couldn’t these two find a more private place to say such things?

Shen Haoze was suddenly stunned, his face turning ashen.

He gritted his teeth, extended his hand, his fingers trembling slightly as he pointed repeatedly, and he growled, "Su Yunyao, you always say that Qiao Qingyu is problematic, but I see that the problematic one is you, you weren’t like this before!"

Saying this, Shen Haoze didn’t even look at Su Yunyao and strode towards the main gate, Qiao Qingyu didn’t want to listen, but these two were blocking the hallway. She wanted to push her bicycle away, but just then, Shen Haoze charged out.

Qiao Qingyu couldn’t help but smile at Shen Haoze.

With an ashen face, Shen Haoze nodded slightly toward Qiao Qingyu then rushed past her like a gust of wind, followed by Su Yunyao walking out from the hallway with a grim expression. She noticed Qiao Qingyu right away.

Su Yunyao halted her steps, and Qiao Qingyu thought she was going to be verbally attacked again. Qiao Qingyu braced herself, but unexpectedly, Su Yunyao just glared at her coldly and then hurried after Shen Haoze.

Nuts!

Qiao Qingyu pursed her lips, today she wasn’t looking for He Xiuyu, she wanted to find Old Xie.

Old Xie just happened to be in his office, Qiao Qingyu stated her purpose, and Old Xie clapped his hands in delight, just like the timely rain, the base needed a large area for greening and only a little had been completed this year.

Old Xie happily agreed, waiting for the call from the station, then he would send trucks to transport the seeds to Qiao Qingyu’s laboratory.

Then Old Xie pointed upstairs, "Your Xiao He just came back from the workshop, aren’t you going to go up and see him?"

Qiao Qingyu shook her head, "Director Xie, I still have other things to do, I’ll pass."

Qiao Qingyu left Old Xie’s office, but unexpectedly ran into He Xiuyu and Sister Yu coming down from upstairs, the two were talking...

Seeing Qiao Qingyu, He Xiuyu raised his eyebrows in surprise, then smiled.

Taking quick steps to reach Qiao Qingyu, he asked softly, "Did you come here for something?"

"Yes, Station Chief Monk just called me, he said he’s sending five thousand kilograms of barley grass seeds from the railway as an unconditional support for the base construction, it should arrive in a few days."

Beside them, Sister Yu smiled warmly, "Then I’ll take my leave first, I hope you and Director Lin take the matter I mentioned seriously."

Then looking at Qiao Qingyu, her tone also warm and affectionate, "Qingyu, my Xiao Xiao really likes you, she hasn’t stopped bothering you recently."

"It’s no trouble at all, Xiao Xiao is a lovely girl," Qiao Qingyu replied politely.

"That’s settled then, when I have time I’ll invite you both to have a meal at home. Alright, I won’t disturb you anymore, I’m heading back to my office."

After Sister Yu left, the two exchanged glances, Qiao Qingyu said, "I just discussed it with Director Xie, even if it’s unconditional support, we should still be aware of it."

He Xiuyu nodded, "Old Xie will handle it well, don’t worry."

As Qiao Qingyu prepared to leave with her bicycle, He Xiuyu called out to her, speaking in a low voice, "I wanted to talk to you about this at home, but since you’re here, I’ll just tell you now."

"What is it?"

"I filed a report to the higher-ups, requesting to transfer a few breeding specialists and technicians over..."
