Chapter 850 - Steal The Research Funds Chapter 850: Steal The Research Funds
Huo Yao’s laptop screen was flashing as though it was breaking down.
Yuan Xi blinked before asking in surprise. “Did your laptop malfunction?”
“Hmm?” Huo Yao raised her head and glanced at her before she said, “Nope.”
“Oh. I saw your screen flashing, so I thought it was hung or something.” Yuan Xi nodded.
“Nope.” Huo Yao did not bother explaining further. She clicked on shut down and the screen turned off in just two seconds.
She closed her laptop and placed it under her pillow.
Yuan Xi stared at the laptop in surprise for some time before she said, “Your laptop can certainly turn off quickly…”
Yuan Xi’s laptop was only good at hanging and shutting off without warning.
Huo Yao raised her brow and answered. “It’s okay.”
Yuan Xi touched her nose before standing up and picking up the mirror placed on the table.
Other than the slight sun damage she got on the first day of military training, there was hardly any difference on her face. For some reason, she had a feeling that her face was even smoother than before.
Yuan Xi raised her head and looked at Huo Yao. She said, “Your sunblock is wonderful. I didn’t get sunburnt at all. The condition of my skin is worlds apart from the other students. You have no idea how many people asked me about my sunblock.”
She inexplicably felt awesome whenever Tang Ruyu looked at her enviously.
So what if she was loaded?
Sometimes, there were things she could not buy even with money!
Huo Yao raised her brow and simply said, “This sunblock is exclusive. This is all I have.”
Although Yuan Xi felt a little sad to hear this, she found it understandable. It must be very hard to produce high-quality sunblock like this one.
She already felt very lucky that she could use it during the military training.
Yuan Xi smiled and did not continue with the subject. She checked the time and noticed it was slightly after 6:40 in the evening and the performance was commencing at 7:00 pm.
Before long, the two of them left the dormitory and went over to the school hall.
Most of the freshmen had already arrived at the hall where their seats were assigned based on their faculty and division. Since Bioinformatics was an unpopular subject and had very few students, they were assigned to the back of the hall. Their view was undoubtedly the worst.
Yuan Xi pulled Huo Yao to the second row from behind and took a seat. She looked at the center of the stage and said, “It’s so sad to be in Bioinformatics. We get the least resources and get ostracized all the time. I heard a senior saying someone even stole our research funds.”
It was simply depressing.
She was so embarrassed that she did not dare to tell her parents about this when she called them previously.
Huo Yao looked at Yuan Xi with her head tilted sideways. “Did someone take our funds?”
Yuan Xi nodded. “That’s right. They say our division didn’t do any significant contribution or research in the field, but we still receive government research funds, so we are just a pure waste of resources.”
Huo Yao nodded. “It is the law of nature that the weak get pushed around.”
“Exactly.” Yuan Xi raised her hand and pointed in front. “All the people in the first row seats are from Biotechnology, followed by Biomedicine. Our division is only fit to take the back row.”
All the divisions’ status in the faculty could be illustrated just from this simple seating arrangement.
Yuan Xi sighed sadly.
Huo Yao rapped her fingers with her hand on her knee every now and then before she said softly, “Does this mean as long as we make a contribution and do research, we will get funding?”
“P-probably. I don’t know for sure either. I simply heard some seniors talking about it.” Yuan Xi touched her nose.
