Lu Jia’er was once again defeated during this round against him, she was embarrassed. She deserved to be a pioneer in the field of setting up conversation traps for herself.
Faced with such flirtatious words, if she refused, she would be taken as unreasonable. If she agreed, she would be taken as frivolous. So Lu Jia’er could only say, “I am not sure if I can go.”
Jin Xiangdong had seen her shyness and embarrassment in her expression, but he remained aggressive. “Didn’t you just promise to take me abroad to enjoy delicious food and wonderful wine?”
“I have an urgent academic paper to prepare for publication and I have to arrange all the materials for the academic research project. I can’t finish either of these in a few days. It’s likely that my vacation will be ruined!” Lu Jia’er said.
Lu Jia’er’s words in reality were not an excuse. Although university professors on summer vacation didn’t have lectures to give and they were free to spend their time as they pleased; but this summer, she was definitely more busy than ever. The publication of academic papers was not only a summary of her own academic research results, but also an evaluation of the teachers by the university. B University was a national key university and the evaluation standards were higher than those of ordinary universities. Every three years an evaluation was made. If an unqualified person had a higher title but a lower evaluation score, they would be reduced to a lower title. A professor would become an associate professor, associate professor a lecturer, and a lecturer a lecturer assistant. The reality was irritating. Everything had changed and the university professor profession was no longer a secure lifelong job. Many professors had to work hard on writing more papers and monographs to keep their jobs. Although Lu Jia’er had no such concern since she had already worked as an educator, she hoped to consistently teach students new knowledge by constantly exploring new frontiers of psychology. In the second half of the year, she would be an adviser for graduate students. She had to set about applying for all the materials for academic research projects and seeking project sponsors. Besides, she was also participating in the AI ​​research and development department for BUA technology. In short, she would be as busy as a beaver in the future.
However, regarding her research projects and funding for the second half of the year, Lu Jia’er had her own plans. The most suitable partner was BUA Technology. So she wanted to discuss it with Jin Xiangdong at the proper time.
When Jin Xiangdong heard her reply, he slightly curled his lips. “Then I’ll have to bring my family!”
Lu Jia’er face became red and she replied, “Yes, you can bring Mr. Jin!”
Upon hearing her words, Jin Xiangdong couldn’t help himself as he curled his lips and stroked Lu Jia’er’s hair. “Do you want to talk about BUA technology funding your academic research project?”
Lu Jia’er was astonished. Was there really telepathic connection between her and him? It was as if what she thought he would know.
Since Jin Xiangdong had actively given an offer, Lu Jia’er would not miss such a good opportunity and nodded repeatedly. ” Yes. I do!”
“On one condition!” Jin Xiangdong glanced at her and said.
Lu Jia’er seemed to have guessed it and asked him, “Be your family?”
“Says the person who is supposed to be chasing me!” said Jin Xiangdong concisely.
Lu Jia’er heard his words and could not help but glance at him. She gave a sigh in her heart. This man has too many cunning tricks!
“You have been slacking recently!” added Jin Xiangdong.
Lu Jia’er couldn’t help but laugh. There were not many men who were like him, urging a woman to pursue him in this manner! He was scheming and cute. Lu Jia’er fixed her eyes on the man in front of her, then took a step forward. She stood on her tiptoes and raised her elegant neck to gently kiss him on the lips.
