Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 399 Little Doctor, the last thing our family lacks is money

Professor Zhong could tell from Jiang Xing's expression that she knew nothing, and couldn't help but laugh.

Jiang Xing couldn't understand, but after a quick thought, he shamelessly guessed, "Teacher, did you or another teacher put in a good word for me? Actually, it's unnecessary, in case it causes you any trouble..."

The relationships within universities are also complex and intertwined.

"If it's really the teachers speaking up for you, there are probably too many teachers to keep up with you!" Jiang Xing was a well-regarded student when he was in school, and was favored by professors from all subjects.

Seeing Jiang Xing's confused expression, Professor Zhong smiled and reminded him, "Little Jiang, is your good news coming soon? When will I be able to attend your wedding?"

Jiang Xing was stunned for a while before suddenly realizing what was happening, and a name popped into her mind: Lou Qi!

"I have class soon, so I'll be going now. I'll bring your partner to treat the professor to dinner again!" Professor Zhong said cheerfully as he left with his books.

Jiang Xing is very familiar with student affairs; he can easily find out by asking a teacher with administrative connections.

The law school recently received a substantial donation to establish a research fund for young faculty members, graduate scholarships, and to provide internship opportunities for students.

Foundation donor: Lou Qi.

Student internship partners: Minglou Group and its holding subsidiaries.

Imperial University is very efficient. A week after the interview, Jiang Xing received an offer from Imperial University via phone and email.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xing continued to prepare for interviews at other schools.

"I told you there was no need to prepare for other schools' interviews. You're so outstanding, only a fool wouldn't want you." Lou Qi piled up Jiang Xing's interview materials and threw them aside, quite annoyed that they had taken up so much of Jiang Xing's time recently.

Jiang Xing rested her chin on her hand, looked up at the man, and said meaningfully, "Of course you know."

Lou Qi's smile froze for a moment, then quickly relaxed: "Hmm?"

He was obviously trying to play dumb.

Jiang Xing said, "I heard that a kind-hearted entrepreneur donated tens of millions of yuan to our college and also provided excellent channels for school-enterprise cooperation."

"Is it?"

"You're still pretending to be stupid after being abandoned!"

Lou Qi couldn't keep up the act any longer and couldn't help but laugh. He hugged Jiang Xing and praised her, "Baby, how are you so smart? Who told you that?"

Listen to these contradictory statements. One minute they're praising her for being smart, the next they're asking who told her that.

"Who told me? Are you trying to hold me accountable?" Jiang Xing slapped away his hand that was touching her face. "I know it myself!"

Lou Qi's eyes lit up: "My girlfriend is really smart!"

"..." Jiang Xing almost choked and asked him, "Why did you suddenly donate money to our academy?"

"Your college educated my girlfriend, so donating a little isn't too much to ask, is it?"

"Why did you have to donate right when I was applying for a teaching position at the school?"

Both of them are intelligent people. Jiang Xing could guess that Lou Qi was trying to curry favor with the school at this critical moment because of her, and Lou Qi also knew that she knew.

Lou Qi sighed, observing Jiang Xing's reaction, and asked in a softer tone, "Are you angry?"

Jiang Xing pursed her lips and remained silent.

"When did you find out?" Lou Qi asked again.

"After the interview."

But is the lack of an answer a sign of anger?

Judging from her expression, she seemed a little upset.

The man was very patient, waiting for her to sort out her thoughts and words—if she were truly angry, she wouldn't have waited a whole week to come looking for trouble.

“Lou Qi, I think this is unfair to others.”

During this week, Jiang Xing both hoped to receive an offer and hoped not to receive one.

Not receiving an offer shows that her alma mater is fair and just, but it also indicates that she is not good enough.

Receiving an offer could also be due to this 'enticement'.

Seeing her speak, Lou Qi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Little Doctor, the last thing our family lacks is money. You are excellent enough on your own, I am just the icing on the cake for you."

Lou Qi's coaxing skills have improved. "If it were some incompetent fool, even if I donated a library to your school, they wouldn't keep it—and honey, where in this society is there so much fairness? How do you know the other candidates didn't use any underhanded tactics?"
