Chapter 1180: Chapter 678: Resist to the End Chapter 1180: Chapter 678: Resist to the End At that moment, Jiang Qi, who had been mostly silent, hooked the corner of his lip and then spoke slowly.

“Mr. Liu, it seems you are really afraid of wasting our time. You keep saying you’re afraid we’d waste time on one side, and then repeat it on the other, which is quite rare indeed.”

“Since you’re afraid of wasting our time, shouldn’t you be more cooperative? We will definitely have someone overseeing the project, it won’t just be us watching.”

“They say it’s an experiment, so, of course, it must be conducted by someone experienced. We will manage the technological aspects, don’t worry, it won’t interfere with the main issue.”

Mr. Liu couldn’t possibly think they were going to supervise it themselves?

How could that be possible?

They weren’t that idle, and even if they were, they wouldn’t personally supervise it.

Still, it must be done by someone experienced in experimentation.

That would make the data more accurate.

Their presence would only waste time.

Since it’s a waste of time, why go at all?

Better not to go.

Besides, they needed to continue with their technological work.

It wasn’t finished yet.

So, the upcoming time should be dedicated to technologies.

They only had a bit of free time at night; they had no spare time during the day.

They hadn’t expected that coming here to have a meal in their free time would result in such an incident.

They had intended to console Wu Zeyuan but encountered this situation.

But fortunately, they had managed to console Wu Zeyuan in the end.

Wu Zeyuan was no longer afraid of ordering food or stepping on a land mine.

After all, no one is a saint. How could anyone never make mistakes?

Besides, making errors when ordering food is normal; they hadn’t tasted this restaurant’s food beforehand, so isn’t stepping on a land mine to be expected?

At least, that was his opinion.

Seeing Jiang Qi’s words, surprise flashed across Mr. Liu’s face.

Was this one of those situations where one speaks after the other?

It really left him no time to breathe.

He had just responded to one, and now he had to reply again.

He wondered how far this would go?

He felt quite tired now.

It wasn’t only physical fatigue, but also mental.

Constantly talking with this group of young men, how could it not be mentally exhausting?

He didn’t even feel like talking anymore.

But he couldn’t just not respond.

After all, Jiang Qi had spoken to this extent; if he didn’t respond, wouldn’t that be rude?

After a moment, Mr. Liu took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and thought about his wording before promptly continuing.

“You’re letting someone experienced conduct the experiment for us, which is a great thing and a good idea, but you aren’t coming personally.”

“Would you doubt the results then? Besides, I don’t have time all the time, and since I took this job, I haven’t been managing Liu Yue every moment.”

“So, I might not have the time to handle the kids you send. If I don’t have the time, doesn’t that prove the experiment is a failure?”

Indeed, this was his excuse.

At this point, he needed to find some excuses.

He couldn’t just not offer any excuse.

Moreover, he had always been reluctant to participate in this experiment.

So, there were many reasons to refuse.

But now, the reason was simply lack of time.

Who knows, he might come up with other reasons later.

After all, there was no excuse he couldn’t find.

Mr. Liu gave them a meaningful look, noticing no expression on their faces.

After a moment, Mr. Liu took another deep breath, then spoke slowly.

“Let’s give up early then. Let’s not wait until the experiment has started only to discover I don’t have time, and thus rush to conclude this matter. That won’t work.”

“So, let’s end this early. If it has ended before even starting, it won’t cause us much damage.”

“If you young men don’t speak up, I will assume you agree. After all, I have been speaking for so long without a single reaction from you. If it’s not agreement, what is it?”

Let’s assume they agree.

At least, he had no objections.

It was just about seeing if these young men had any objections.

If he wasn’t mistaken, these young men should have some.

They were not the type to give up easily.

How could they be easily defeated by a few words?

Upon hearing this, Liu Yue felt utterly helpless, took a deep breath, and ultimately didn’t say anything.

She finally set her gaze on Mr. Liu and said earnestly,
“Father, I know you don’t want to do the experiment now, but do you think that settles the matter between us? You still want to keep a close eye on me, right?”

“I am already working outside, I am already grown up, do you still need to monitor me every moment? Besides, I am a girl.”

“You’re being way too controlling, and we are women. Since we are women, shouldn’t there be things we avoid? So, you should stop monitoring me from now on.”

She was already grown up, already a mature young woman.

As a young woman, how could she be so controlled?

This was really outrageous.

It would be embarrassing if word got out.

That’s why she hadn’t told her friends about it.

She really couldn’t afford to lose that face.

Thinking this, Liu Yue continued to speak.
