Too Ridiculous

Lin Jingyue looked up, her brows furrowed tightly.

*What was going on?*

Why did she feel like someone was watching her?

It was a very unsettling feeling.

Three hours passed.

The interviews finally concluded.

Lin Xuan had selected a total of thirty students from the pool of applicants.

They stood lined up in three rows.

Lin Xuan spoke up, "I'm going to create a group chat now. I'll be back at the school tomorrow. I'll notify you of the specific time and location in the group chat later. That's when I'll fill you in on the research project we'll be undertaking."

"Rest assured, you will definitely gain a lot from this research project."

He paused. "That will be all for today."

Lin Xuan tidied up his things and went to get some lunch.

In the afternoon, he still had to conduct interviews for the R&D team focused on the cancer wonder drug.

Once those interviews were done, he could go to the company to see Hua.

Lin Jingyue left the academic building, her face beaming with excitement.

"This is great! I actually made it into the research team led by Lin Xuan!"

To be able to work on the same research project as the person she liked—how lucky could she get?

Especially considering how rarely Lin Xuan appeared at school!

Chen Ting was also glowing with happiness.

She hadn't expected to be selected by Lin Xuan either.

She admired Lin Xuan greatly; while she wouldn't say she had a crush on him, she had a gut feeling that this project of his was something special.

It was the kind of project that would likely be a huge help to her future career.

After Lin Jingyue and Chen Ting walked past, Chen Mo stepped out from behind a large tree.

His eyes were dark and gloomy, and his fists were clenched tight at his sides.

Yueyue had actually been selected!

Damn it!

Wouldn't that mean she'd have plenty of opportunities to interact with Lin Xuan in the future?

Yes, Lin Xuan had a girlfriend like Boss Su who had the looks, the ability, and the figure! But there was no guarantee he wouldn't cheat on the side.

Especially since Boss Su was so domineering. Men didn't like women who were that overbearing.

If the servants at the Night Garden heard Chen Mo's thoughts, they would have rolled their eyes hard.

Their young mistress was indeed domineering toward outsiders.

However, in front of Young Master Lin, she was absolutely as gentle as water and incredibly charming.

Meanwhile, Chen Mo watched Lin Jingyue's retreating figure, his fists still clenched tight.

Yueyue was beautiful, had a great figure, and was so gentle.

A gentle woman like Yueyue formed a stark contrast to a domineering woman like Boss Su; it would be very easy for Lin Xuan to fall for her.

Especially since Yueyue already liked Lin Xuan. If Lin Xuan made a move, Yueyue wouldn't refuse.

No! He had to stop them from having any chance to be together.

Chen Mo's gaze turned cold and dark.

He needed to investigate exactly what this project of Lin Xuan's was about!

He was going to sabotage Lin Xuan's project.

That afternoon, Lin Xuan appeared in the interview room for the medical students.

The two professors were bewildered.

*The VIP the principal mentioned... is Lin Xuan?*

They both knew that Lin Xuan's girlfriend was Su Hua, and Su Hua was the largest shareholder of Shangqing University.

With connections like that, getting them fired would be a piece of cake for Lin Xuan.

The two professors didn't dare complain to Lin Xuan's face, so they huddled in a corner, whispering quietly.

"The team leader for such a crucial cancer research project is Lin Xuan, a Computer Science student? Isn't this just nonsense? Yes, Lin Xuan is impressive, he's a genius, but that's limited to computers. It has nothing to do with medicine. What was the principal thinking, putting him in charge of this project?"

The professor simply couldn't understand it.

And to think she had had such high hopes for this project.

Now, it seemed this research was destined to fail before it even began.

"I also feel it's a bit ridiculous, but the principal is a rational man. Lin Xuan must have some medical skills, right? Otherwise, the principal wouldn't have asked him to lead the research project for a cancer cure."

"That's not necessarily true. With Lin Xuan's influence, even if he knows absolutely nothing about medicine, Boss Su would probably let him run the project if he just asked."

It was just a matter of losing a little money.

Given Boss Su's wealth, she likely wouldn't even blink at that amount.

"Forget it, forget it. As teachers, we can't interfere with decisions from the top. We'd better not let Lin Xuan hear our conversation."

Someone with Lin Xuan's background was not someone mere teachers like them could afford to offend.

Shangqing University was a private institution, and Boss Su was not only the largest shareholder but also held absolute controlling rights. If Lin Xuan said the word to have them fired, there would be absolutely no way for them to stay at the university.

The two professors returned to Lin Xuan's side.

"Lin Xuan, you must be thirsty. Let me pour you a cup of tea."

"Lin Xuan, the principal assigned us to assist you with the interviews. If you have any instructions, just let us know. No need to stand on ceremony."

The expressions on their faces were incredibly ingratiating.

You couldn't tell at all that they had been badmouthing Lin Xuan behind his back just moments ago.

The students coming in for the interview were equally wide-eyed with shock when they saw Lin Xuan.

*Th-this... Lin Xuan?*

*Isn't he a Computer Science student?*

*Why is he the interviewer?*

After being interviewed by Lin Xuan, the students left in a daze. Lin Xuan actually understood such technical medical concepts...

Wasn't that a bit too outrageous?

His medical knowledge was even more advanced than theirs...

Lin Xuan organized the student files and handed a stack of resumes to one of the professors.

"These are the students I've selected. Please have them assemble tomorrow afternoon at three o'clock."

"Certainly, Lin Xuan."

The professor took the files respectfully.

This time, his admiration for Lin Xuan came from the bottom of his heart, not because of the power backing him.

They had originally assumed Lin Xuan knew nothing about medicine, but after watching him interview the students, they realized how shallow their assumptions had been.

Lin Xuan's medical proficiency was incredibly high.

It was likely that even the two of them, as professors, couldn't compare to him.

They finally understood why the principal had entrusted this project to Lin Xuan.

As the two professors walked out, they couldn't help but discuss it.

"Lin Xuan's ability is just freakishly good. I thought he was clueless about medicine."

Who could have imagined that a Computer Science student would possess such a high level of expertise in the medical field?

"Exactly. Lin Xuan really completely upended my expectations. No wonder a big shot like Boss Su fell for him. He's handsome, dashing, and incredibly capable. It's only natural that Boss Su would like him. Forget Boss Su—even a forty-something-year-old like me felt a little flutter of the heart."

If a guy like Lin Xuan were to pursue her, she might just abandon her husband and children for him.
