Chapter 1223: Chapter 699: Qin Yuan’s Lone Battle_2 Chapter 1223: Chapter 699: Qin Yuan’s Lone Battle_2 “Why are we saying all this if not to ease Liu Yue’s suffering?”

“I really don’t know what Mr. Liu thinks.”

“What exactly is going on in Mr. Liu’s brain?”

“If Mr. Liu weren’t his boss, Qin Yuan would have wanted to crack open his head to see what’s inside.”

Just then, Mr. Liu’s face broke into a radiant smile.

“I really appreciate everything you’ve said here to Liu Yue, even though it’s useless, but I still thank you.”

“After all, you’ve also worked hard for so long. I can’t act as if nothing happened; I do see and appreciate it.”

“Now that your task is completed, it’s time to leave. Weren’t you going to eat? After dinner, continue with the technology stuff!”

He was changing the subject,
and he wanted them to leave immediately.

He didn’t want them to keep talking here.

Their talking here was just affecting Liu Yue.

These words had no positive impact at all.

Otherwise, Liu Yue wouldn’t have been so estranged from him.

Mr. Liu thought to himself.

Qin Yuan felt somewhat helpless and did not speak.

But his gaze fell on Liu Yue.

He wanted to see what Liu Yue was saying to Wu Zeyuan.

After all, they were communicating.

It’s just that he couldn’t hear them.

But he could still see their lips move.

The next second, Qin Yuan averted his gaze, cleared his throat, and then slowly said,
“Mr. Liu, I’ve told you not hundreds of times that we don’t need to go back to technology now; it’s our break time. We’ve just spent a whole day in the lab.”

“So, we definitely need to relax a bit. It’s not okay to stay in the lab all day, is it? Won’t you feel tired spending a whole day in the lab?”

“You surely would feel tired. If you don’t think so, you could try it yourself because you haven’t spent a whole day in the lab.”

Mr. Liu’s job was easy anyway.

Certainly not as hard as theirs.

So he wants Mr. Liu to give it a try.

Thinking about spending all day in the lab was exhausting enough, let alone actually being there.

And their lives mattered too.

They definitely needed a work-life balance.

It can’t be good to stay in the lab all day, can it?

How painful would that be?

Qin Yuan didn’t voice this thought; he just thought it to himself.

Hearing this, Mr. Liu immediately cleared his throat and said,
“Actually, just so you know, I too have spent a whole day in the lab. It’s just that you didn’t know because you weren’t here yet.”

“It’s normal for you not to know. Since you don’t, I need to share my experience with you, which will make you understand.”

“But I still don’t recommend staying in the lab all day. I never said you should stay there all day; I just didn’t want you to waste time.”

He never told them to stay in the lab all the time.

It was just about not wasting time and then going to eat.

But to Qin Yuan’s ears, it somehow got twisted.

It truly left him speechless.

Regardless, explanations had to continue.

So Mr. Liu said again,
“After all, isn’t it a waste of time what you’ve been saying here? You’re not using your time wisely, in my opinion.”

“Don’t think I’m wrong to say this. I’m just looking at this from a practical perspective. Clearly, there is time to eat and time to do science.”

“But you still want to meddle in other things. Perhaps I’m too straightforward, but I’m just telling the truth. Don’t be mad; we’re all adults here.”

As adults, there’s no need to let small things affect our mood.

He was just giving Qin Yuan some reassurances.

Without those reassurances, Qin Yuan might have gotten upset.

The next second, Qin Yuan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

But before he could speak, Mr. Liu preempted him.

“That certainly means everything must be explained clearly, and there should be no concealment at all. If there is any concealment, it will lead to unnecessary misunderstandings.”

“So I know you won’t mind my speaking straightforwardly. Since you don’t mind my being blunt, you should head back first.”

“I hope you really enjoy your meal, and after eating, hurry home and rest. You have technology to work on tomorrow, and you can’t afford to waste time.”

Time was precious indeed, and urging them to cherish it wasn’t wrong.

Although he was essentially pulling the ladder out from under himself.

He was also placing a high hat on Qin Yuan.

It was just that he didn’t want Qin Yuan to mind his straightforward speech.

And sometimes, things need to be said bluntly.

What’s the fun in not speaking bluntly?

Mr. Liu didn’t think he was wrong at all.

He raised his eyebrows, his face all smiles.

Still waiting for Qin Yuan’s reply.

Qin Yuan felt utterly speechless; his lips twitched a few times.

Mr. Liu was really issuing a direct eviction order.

He couldn’t accept that.

How could he possibly leave now?

If he left now, it would truly be a waste of time and breath.

After all, they had talked a lot here, not just a few words.

Previously, they had been talking here just to make Mr. Liu come around and not be so strict with Liu Yue.

But Mr. Liu was still stubborn.

It seemed he had to get everyone involved.

He couldn’t let him fight this battle alone here.

They had to get everyone involved.

It was more entertaining when everyone got involved.

At that moment, Qin Yuan turned his gaze towards them.

But before he could speak, Mr. Liu directly said,
“What’s wrong with you, kid? Are you directly calling them over now? I just told you what I said, just pass on my words to them, no need to have them come over.”

“When they come, their constant chattering will really bother me. My head is buzzing from the noise. I really don’t want them to come.”

“So, just convey my message, there’s no need for them to come over, and besides, they will definitely listen to you.”

He believed Jiang Qi and Wu Zeyuan would definitely listen to Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan seemed to be the one with authority.

This was not unfounded.

It was his real feeling.

At that moment, Qin Yuan’s face showed a hint of helplessness, then he slowly said,
“Mr. Liu, I can only have them come here and speak, after all, you have not listened to our words from the beginning, nor to my words.”

“So, I have to have them come here. Otherwise, am I supposed to fight this battle alone here? I’m really tired of it, I don’t want to do it alone.”

“So, I hope you could listen to me and not let me fight alone here anymore.”

Upon hearing this, Mr. Liu reacted strongly.

Not letting Qin Yuan fight alone, did that mean he should fight alone?

Clearly, everyone is selfish and thinks about themselves.

Thinking this, Mr. Liu immediately said,
“Qin Yuan, how can you be so selfish? Why only think about yourself? If you don’t want to fight alone, do you think I want to?”

“I also don’t want to fight alone. I also want to communicate with just you. Aren’t we communicating well now? Why do you need to get them involved?”

“I really don’t want them to come and talk to me. Everyone will talk at once, and I just won’t be able to keep up. If you have any complaints, you can just talk to me.”

Actually, communicating with one person is really better than with a crowd.

It’s really hard to communicate with a group of people.

So, he now preferred to interact with Qin Yuan.

And he hoped Qin Yuan would take his words to heart.

There was no reaction on Qin Yuan’s face.
