Chapter 226 I, Who Should Have Played Along with You, Turn a Blind Eye
Qiao Ze did not have a bad impression of Lv Bei, but that was as far as it went.
The two did not spend much time together.
However, since Qiao Ze realized that much stupidity stemmed from arrogance, he could at least give Lv Bei a non-stupid assessment.
Therefore, Qiao Ze did not interrupt Lv Bei and from his brief statement, roughly understood what today's situation was about.
However, his mood did not improve; instead, it became more perplexed.
It seemed he had never revealed to anyone his desire to leave Xilin University; how did it suddenly come about that he had to transfer to the Capital?
Consequently, Qiao Ze bluntly asked, "Why should I go to the Capital?"
"Oh, this is just a normal job transfer. You'll get used to it after a while, Professor Qiao," Jiang Jianmin patiently took up the conversation again.
Although already displeased internally, thinking about the young man's achievements, he still held onto his temper.
But his explanation inevitably carried a hint of patronizing authority.
"A normal job transfer?" Qiao Ze frowned even more.
"Professor Qiao, you are no longer a student. You are an employed researcher, and job transfers are perfectly normal affairs," as if fearing that Qiao Ze would say something outrageous again, the secretary accompanying Jiang Jianmin hastily added an explanation.
"Oh." Qiao Ze nodded, sat there frowning and pondered for a moment, then realized that according to his understanding of the world's rules, what they said seemed to make sense.
So he stopped talking and silently opened his computer, starting to operate it.
He needed to upload some of his manuscript content, and then format everything personal.
After all, the computer belonged to the research institute. He still needed to do some housekeeping before leaving.
This move from them was indeed something he had not anticipated.
He was someone who did not even want the people around him to suffer the slightest grievance; how could he possibly submit himself to the rules?
However, to the two guests who came from afar, his actions seemed rather nonsensical.
What did Qiao Ze mean by this?
Knowing he was about to be transferred, he just said "Oh," and went straight to operating the computer?
What kind of reaction was that?
Okay, he admitted Qiao Ze was capable, but isn't this attitude a bit too arrogant? Completely impolite, as if he'd never been hardened by society?
To Lv Bei, watching this scene, his heart suddenly "clenched."
Based on his understanding of Qiao Ze, such a calm demeanor often meant that he was already very uncomfortable inside.
Let's hope such a trivial matter doesn't lead to some uncontrollable mess.
So, the atmosphere in the office suddenly became tense.
They didn't even know where to pick up the conversation from.
Lv Bei was nearly exasperated.
At that moment, Su Mucheng was just not there; if Su was around, the mood could be lightened, or at least they could know what Qiao Ze was thinking.
In the end, it was still up to him to bite the bullet and say, "That... Professor Qiao..."
"After today I'm no longer a professor; you don't need to address me that way anymore," Qiao Ze interrupted what Lv Bei wanted to say, stating a fact.
"Ah?" Lv Bei was taken aback.
While several people were still pondering what this meant, another figure flashed past the window.
Although the door was open, the person still conscientiously knocked on the door.
