Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 151: Chapter 144: So Qiao Jing is Professor Qiao (2)

Following behind Xu Hongzu were a dozen or so senior professors.

Soon, Zhan Qipei was surrounded by a group of old men for a session of criticism and education.

“Zhan kid, don’t you know there’s such a thing as proper conduct between men and women?”

Zhan Qipei, with his chin slightly raised, replied, “She’s my wife.”

“You're only in a contract marriage, which is ending in a few days.”

“She’s my wife,” Zhan Qipei emphasized.

“Even so, you can’t do that sort of thing to Xiao Jing in public!”

“She’s my wife.”

The group of old professors was about to explode with frustration at Zhan Qipei.

Zhan Nanging watched, wide-eyed and tongue-tied, feeling utterly shocked.

She knew Xu Hongzu was very fond of Qiao Jing, but she didn’t expect all the senior professors in the institute to

dote on Qiao Jing so much; it was as if Qiao Jing was their own granddaughter.

Does Qiao Jing really have such great charm?

How had she not noticed it?

With that thought, Zhan Nanging turned to look and found Qiao Jing had already gone inside.

She didn’t even wait for me!

Zhan Nanging complained as she hurried after Qiao Jing.

Thoughts raced through her mind: It was her first there; shouldn't this veteran employee guide her? How

could she be so irresponsible?

Just as Zhan Nanging was about to catch up to Qiao Jing, she saw two staff members from the institute pass by

Qiao Jing and called out, “Professor Qiao, good morning.”

“Mm,” Qiao Jing nodded her head in acknowledgment.

What???

Zhan Nanging’s steps cto an immediate halt, and she uncaringly dug at her ear.

She must have been hearing things because it had been so long since she last cleaned her ears.

That's when Zhan Nanging saw a very renowned agricultural professor approaching them.

“Isn't that Professor Wang?”

Speaking of which, this Professor Wang had been her mother’s teacher in college.

She also heard it from her mom, who had taken elective courses taught by Professor Wang during her university

years.

However, she had never heard Su Manhan mention that Professor Wang had joined Professor Qiao’s institute as

well.

She would tell her mom about this when she got back.

“Professor Wang!” Zhan Nanqing greeted Professor Wang as she approached him.

“You are?” Professor Wang watched Zhan Nanging with a scrutinizing look.

“My mother was your student; her nis Su Manhan, and she has married into the Zhan Family,” Zhan

Nanging hurriedly explained, glancing at Qiao Jing with raised eyebrows while she spoke.

The implication in her eyes was clear: see how wide her network was. Even without Qiao Jing, she could get into

the institute through her connection with Professor Wang.

“Oh. | have a vague recollection,” said Professor Wang, purely out of politeness.

With so many students, he couldn't possibly remember them all.

“That's great! My mom would be thrilled to know you work here. Professor Wang, when are you free? Cvisit

our place sometime, 1—"

“We can catch up later; | have something to take care of.” Professor Wang interrupted Zhan Nanging but handed

a report to Qiao Jing.

“This is the report you askedto do a while back; I've just finished it. Please take a look and letknow if

anything needs to be improved?”

Zhan Nanging’s mind was thrown into disarray upon hearing Professor Wang's words, and her thoughts became

a mushy mess.

Qiao Jing took the report and started scrutinizing it carefully.

Professor Wang stood there stiffly with tension, resembling a student who has entered the office and is watching

the teacher grade papers.

For Zhan Nanging, Professor Wang's demeanor was strikingly familiar.

“Whoosh—" Qiao Jing turned a page.

“Hiss—" Professor Wang drew in a breath and waited quietly.

Zhan Nanging’s mouth slowly opened wider and wider as a look of growing surprise appeared on her face. She

mechanically turned her head to look at Qiao Jing.

As soon as she turned her head, she saw Qiao Jing’s frown deepen, her face adopting a stern expression.

“Here.”

The moment Professor Wang heard this, he becfully focused on listening.

“This part is not well written; you should... and there's a problem here too. Didn't | mention this during the

meeting? Didn’t you take notes...?”

“I did take notes, but there were sparts | didn’t understand. Please guidethrough them again.”

“Listen here... this part...”

Zhan Nanging’s mouth was agape, so shocked that her heart continuously churned with waves of amazement.

At this moment, Gan Lanlan walked over.

“I told you so, if she says your work is not too bad, that means you're pretty good. Be content with that. Look at

Professor Wang, a famous agricultural scientist, even he’s getting criticized by her.”

Zhan Nanging blinked, then blinked again, sizing up Qiao Jing with eyes full of disbelief.

“She, she really is—"

“Mhm!” Gan Lanlan nodded her head with immense pride.

“Gasp—" Zhan Nanqing took in a sharp breath.

As she was shocked, she also began to understand a few things.

No wonder that tshe and Lou Xinrou visited the research institute to see Manager Lou, insisting on getting

Qiao Jing fired, only for them to end up with such an outcome.

No wonder Xu Hongzu and that group of old professors were all helping Qiao Jing...

No wonder Qiao Jing had so many connections.

But what puzzled her and her entire family the most was why her Grandpa Zhan Yuanshan had arranged such a

marriage for her brother!

Everyone thought Qiao Jing was just a farming bumpkin, but who knew how upscale the field she farmed was!

“Professor Qiao, thank you for your

hard work. I'll go back and redo tie

report ight pa: obi Professor

Ward, who, after being enlightened,

happily carried the report and left.

Zhan Nanging, with stiff steps, approached Qiao Jing and opened her mouth, then opened it again.

Seeing Zhan Nanging’s expression, Qiao Jing guessed what she was thinking.

“You can’t tell anyone about this. | said the sthing to Grandpa Zhan at the start.”

Hearing what Qiao Jing said, Zhan Nanging suddenly understood.

No wonder her grandpa never mentioned this matter. If he had, she and her mother would have never opposed

the marriage.

What a joke?

They're talking about the top

agricultural magnate of the empire,

“Why? | don’t understand.”

Zhan Nanging couldn’t understand why, if it were her with such achievements, she wouldn't frequently show off

to make others envious.

“Because it’s troublesome,” Qiao Jing replied indifferently.

“Ah?” Zhan Nanging was momentarily taken aback.

These words from Qiao Jing left Zhan Nanging feeling both shocked and ashamed.

Qiao Jing wasn’t much older than her, yet Qiao Jing’s achievements were something she couldn't reach in one

lifetime, no! Ten lifetimes.

And it wasn't just that, Qiao Jing’s attitude and stature were something she could never compare to.

Suddenly, Zhan Nanging remembered what Qiao Jing had said the day before.

She had asked her why she didn’t like her brother.

Qiao Jing had replied that her brother wasn’t as good as her.

It seemed that was really the case.

At the thought of Qiao Jing not liking her brother, Zhan Nanqing inexplicably becsorrowful.
