Chapter 690

The next day, Fu Mingxue arrived at the university.

She first went to Director Zheng’s office.

“Director Zheng.”

When Director Zheng saw Fu Mingxue, his eyes lit up with pleasant surprise.

“Mingxue, you’re here! I was just thinking you’d probably be back at the university in the next few days. I didn’t expect you to arrive today.”

Fu Mingxue replied, “I arrived yesterday.”

Director Zheng asked, “I heard your project is progressing very smoothly.”

Fu Mingxue nodded. “Yes, everyone has been working very hard lately. Fortunately, the progress has been good.”

“You all have certainly worked hard! But you’ve worked the hardest. I’ve heard you work overtime late into the night every day.”

It was truly rare to see a young person so hardworking and dedicated.

Director Zheng was most pleased that he hadn’t missed out on such a top-tier talent back then.

Of course, he was most grateful for Fu Mingxue’s decision to nominate herself back then.

Otherwise, even if she was talented, getting truly involved in the project’s R&D probably wouldn’t have happened so quickly—

“Oh, right. Here’s the course schedule. Take a look, and if there are no issues, we’ll arrange the classes according to this.”

Fu Mingxue took the course schedule.

She remembered it all after a single glance.

“This is fine.”

Seeing this, Director Zheng immediately said, “Since there are no issues, your classes will start tomorrow. Today, you’ll come with me to the research institute.”

Fu Mingxue nodded. “Alright.”

She knew she had to go to the research institute for a debriefing meeting.

“Go to your office for now. We’ll leave for the research institute in half an hour.”

“Alright. I’ll head over then.”

With that, Fu Mingxue walked out of Director Zheng’s office.

In the hallway outside, she ran into several other teachers.

They all greeted Fu Mingxue one after another:

“Teacher Fu, you’re here!”

“Hello, Teacher Fu!”

Fu Mingxue nodded back at them in acknowledgment.

After exchanging greetings, she walked to her office.

She opened the door and went inside. The office was still very clean.

It had clearly been cleaned.

She organized her books for the semester—

Half an hour later, Director Zheng came to get her.

“Mingxue, it’s time for us to go!”

“Okay.” Fu Mingxue replied and walked out of her office.

This time, a car was sent to take the two of them to the research institute.

When they arrived at the research institute, everyone saw it was Fu Mingxue and crowded around her.

“Group Leader Fu, I heard the development of your engine is progressing quickly!”

Fu Mingxue nodded. “Mhm, it’s been going pretty smoothly so far.”

They peppered her with questions, and Fu Mingxue answered a few of them.

Just then, Director Zheng spoke up. “Alright, everyone, stop crowding around Mingxue. She has a meeting to attend. You all head to the conference room first!”

Hearing this, everyone moved to the conference room—

By the time things wrapped up at the research institute, it was already 4:30 in the afternoon.

Director Zheng asked Fu Mingxue, “Mingxue, should we have the car take you straight home, or back to the university first?”

Fu Mingxue said, “Let’s go back to the university first. My bicycle is still parked there, and I’ll need to ride it tomorrow.”

Director Zheng thought that made sense.

“Alright then, we’ll head back to the university.”

“Grandma, isn’t Mommy coming home for dinner?” Qin Keke asked.

Seeing the little girl’s expectant gaze, Mrs. Fu said, “Your mom should be back for dinner. It’s still early!”

Since the afternoon, the little girl had been running to the front gate every now and then to look out for her.

Qin Keke was overjoyed to hear that her mommy would be back for dinner.

“That’s great! Oh, and Grandma, can I sleep with Mommy again tonight?”
