Chapter 590: 336 The Lost Spiritual Energy of the Ancestor?!_2
Hey, it’s Jiang again!
In fact, Jiang Yunzhou had been staring at her for quite some time now, his expression indifferent, not at all surprised.
The two of them returned their cards together and just so happened to walk back in the same direction.
There was hardly any conversation on the way back, with Lu Beibei occasionally asking Jiang Yunzhou about programming-related questions, to which Jiang Yunzhou replied concisely, and the topic quickly came to an end.
Lu Beibei actually wanted to ask him if he had taken her biscuit hair clip, but she felt that even if Jiang Yunzhou had taken it by mistake, he must have forgotten about it after so much time passed.
So, for the next two minutes or so, neither of them had anything to say, and Jiang Yunzhou felt the atmosphere get a bit awkward. Yet, strangely enough, he used to be able to sweet-talk without repeating himself for an hour at bars, effortlessly spouting flirtatious lines, the unrivaled king of smooth talkers!
But now, walking with Lu Beibei, all those cheesy lines he knew by heart were completely useless.
Was he really supposed to hit her with the stale joke, "You’re responsible for being as beautiful as a flower, and I’ll be responsible for arranging them"?
He even wanted to arrest himself!
This felt very strange...
Finally, they reached the fork in the road leading to the male and female dormitories. Lu Beibei let out a small sigh of relief, waving her hand eagerly, "I’m going back to the dorm now, see you Jiang!"
Jiang Yunzhou hadn’t thought about what to say to her, but seeing her leave so breezily and joyfully, he suddenly didn’t want to let her go that easily.
"Wait a second."
Lu Beibei, just about to take off, had her arm abruptly pulled back. She turned around, "Is there anything else, Jiang?"
Jiang Yunzhou knew she was preparing for the robotics competition and had seen previous matches, "I heard that the other two teams that got into the robot finals have already started recruiting. Especially East China University of Science and Technology; they even brought in a very talented computer engineer from a foreign university. What about your team? Aren’t you planning to expand your recruitment?"
The gold content of the finals was incomparable to the previous competitions. With such strong opponents, Lu Beibei and her team were indeed not taking things lightly. She didn’t expect Jiang to know so much, "You’re also following the robotics competition? Yes, what our team lacks the most is a computer engineer. We’re also planning to rope in some talent."
Jiang Yunzhou gave a satisfied half smile, his question pointed, "So, have you found someone... now?"
"Of course we have~" Lu Beibei smiled mysteriously, "But we wouldn’t go overseas for that. The best engineer is right in front of us, why search afar?" fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm
She was being so straightforward it even made Jiang Yunzhou feel a little shy.
If we’re talking about the most talented first-year computer engineer, he rightly deserved that title, but if he considered the whole of Beijing University, he felt he still needed to work harder...
Still, since Lu Beibei had so much confidence in him, he wasn’t scared. Jiang Yunzhou coughed to cover up his bashfulness, "So when do you plan on talking to him?"
Hearing his words, Lu Beibei placed a little fist over her heart, acting like she was gathering courage, "As soon as I get back to the dorm!"
The person is right here and you’re not saying anything, but you’re waiting until you get back to the dorm?
Jiang Yunzhou was stunned. He didn’t expect this fearless girl to be too scared to speak up in person.
So silly, he wouldn’t refuse her anyway.
Girls are indeed troublesome, Jiang Yunzhou shifted his shoulder bag, the corners of his lips curling into a confident smirk only the campus hunk, Long Aotian, could pull off, "Alright, then we’ll talk about it after you get back to the dorm..."
**
In reality, Lu Beibei had been pondering over the matter of recruiting a key talent for her team for several days, and today, with Jiang’s reminder, she felt it was time to speed up the process.
So, once back in her dorm, the very first thing she did was to look for Xia Ye, sincerely offering an olive branch, "Idol! The Beijing University Robotics Team needs you!"
Xia Ye, who was in the middle of meditating with members of the Scientific Cultivation Club over video, slowly opened his eyes, "..."
...Really?
Joining the robotics competition for real, as opposed to occasionally helping Lu Beibei with minor tasks, was a different matter, requiring a commitment of time and energy on an entirely different scale. Although Lu Beibei assured that it wouldn’t disrupt his schedule, he couldn’t just occupy a spot without contributing.
Seeing her idol’s uncertain response, the little hustler Lu Beibei decisively allocated a three-figure sum from the team’s budget, treating Xia Ye to a meal at Beijing University’s most popular roadside diner that night, on behalf of the whole team.
Before the meal began, she made sure to brief her team members.
To win over their idol, they had to cater to his likes!
Ultimately, with the heroic feat of three boxes containing 36 bottles of the big green drink, they successfully got Xia Ye to nod his head willingly.
The team members, not yet part of the working world, had learned the profound Chinese culture of alcoholic drinks from their esteemed ancestor.
However, they would soon realize just how worthwhile their efforts that night had been!
