Chapter 346: 133 went fishing with Xiaojiang, bringing things down a notch (second update)_2
However, they caught a lot of fish today, and Xu En had booked them a suite with a kitchen included. Shen Qing said he would make fish soup for Bai Lian, so they brought the fish back with them.

“Sure,” Xu En replied with a smile, “Fish soup for breakfast tomorrow morning.”

By the side, a member of the Clan glanced at the black bags in Ji Heng and his companions’ hands and declined politely, “Thank you, but I don’t like fish.”

Xu En took a bag of fish from Ji Heng, his eyes lighting up, “Is it that easy to catch?”

“Next time you have free time, you all should go fishing together, Xiaojiang gave you the card.” Shen Qing said with a smile, “Most of those were caught by Xiaojiang who hasn’t fished much before. Can you believe it, one after another.”

Shen Qing was implying something about Ji Shaojun and Ji Heng.

One looked up at the sky while the other lowered his head to look at the rod, neither saying a word.

“Right,” Xu En quickly took out an invitation to help Ji Heng and another out of their awkward situation, “This is an invite that Alian asked me to bring you, please keep it safe.”

Bai Lian had already mentioned this to Ji Heng, who took it from him.

“I don’t fish,” said a person from the Xu Family Clan, uninterested in fishing. He preferred to spend the time attending more gatherings to meet new people, “Mr. Xu, I’ll be leaving first then. You can find me if you need anything.”

With that, he left the hotel.

Xu En waved him off and continued to discuss ice fishing with Ji Heng.

Ji Mulan was also indifferent to their fishing, merely watching on the side. She found it odd how well Xu En got along with Ji Heng and the others.

Xu En escorted Ji Heng and the others to their room before returning with Ji Mulan.

Boyuan Base.

Wang Xu and Bai Lian were writing a report.

Beside them, Pei Qin, who was discussing with Ning Xiao, was very impressed, “Your ideas are so ahead of their time, are you really the one who did the ‘C’ roll?”

Everyone in the group knew that the heart of this paper relied on Ya Ning.

His research ideas were very clear.

Ning Xiao: “…”

He was somewhat eager to see Bai Lian, all of these were ideas he had discussed and refined with her and had been validated by Jiang Fulai; how could they not be clear?

“Oh right,” Song Min suddenly remembered something important, looking at Wang Xu, “Has Ling Ziyao and his team finished the modeling?”

They were in a rush because the mathematical model required using MATLAB, so they collaborated with Ling Ziyao’s group to use the same modeling. Wang Xu had given them the data two days ago.

“Not yet,” Wang Xu lowered his head to check the time on his wristwatch, standing up, “I’ll go and ask their group.”

Five days passed.

Each group had a designated classroom, and Wang Xu knew where Ling Ziyao’s group was.

Although Bai Lian typed slower than the average person, she managed to write half the report by comparing it with the data.

The second half required the use of the model for simulation of results.

She methodically clicked save and then took her phone with her to the restroom.

Song Min frowned across from her, not at all confident in her report.

The restroom was at the end of the corridor.

You had to pass by the stairs.

As Bai Lian had just walked a few steps, she heard voices coming from the stairs, slowing her pace and turning a corner, heading directly to the stairwell.

At the staircase landing,

Wang Xu looked at Ling Ziyao in disbelief, “Didn’t you say we were responsible for the data and you for the model?”

Ling Ziyao frowned, righteously retorting to Wang Xu, “When did I ever say such a thing to you?”

“But you clearly…” Wang Xu became frustrated.

Wang Xu was naive, sharing all the research ideas and details with Ling Ziyao.

“Wang classmate, this is Jiangjing, not your Xicheng,” a teammate of Ling Ziyao also watched Wang Xu coldly, “Go ask Dr. Gao if each model isn’t supposed to be done by yourselves. How could Ling Ziyao have possibly agreed to such an absurd request of yours?”

The commotion also attracted the attention of those in the neighboring classroom.

After listening to the whole story, the adjacent classroom’s occupants frowned at Wang Xu, “Is this your first time at Boyuan? You foreigners, if you want to swindle Ling Ziyao’s mathematical model, at least find a better excuse.”

The noise caught the attention of Pei Qin and the others as they emerged from the classroom.

“What’s going on?” Pei Qin approached next to Wang Xu.

“They’re saying they never agreed to collaborate with us.” By now, Wang Xu realized he was played by Ling Ziyao and his expression soured.

As soon as he spoke, Song Min and the others were taken aback.

“What’s all the noise about?” Gao Jiachen came out of the temporary office and glanced over those present.

“Dr. Gao,” Wang Xu spotted a lifeline and took out his phone, showing the data to him, “This is the data I sent to Ling Ziyao; he definitely agreed to…”

Gao Jiachen looked past him, disregarding his words and proceeded to Ling Ziyao and his team, “Your turn to explain.”
