Chapter 931: Eccentric Senior (1)

Gu Qingyao saw the old man’s pitiful gaze and her heart softened. So she said, “Teacher! If you are looking for a researcher, you should ask Senior! He is definitely crazy about research. He…”
“Why would I look for that vile creature?” Gu Qingyao had not even finished when Professor Ai Bode jumped up in rage. “He gives me nothing but trouble. He spoiled so much apparatus but has no research results. He’s been working in this field for so long, but he’s still penniless. Don’t tell anyone that he’s my student. I would be so embarrassed if other people found out. I don’t have a traitor like that!”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
Senior is so lovable. Why do you detest him so much?
“Teacher! Senior is a very nice man! He’s knowledgeable and multi-talented. He’s also a genius!”
“Genius, what genius. He almost killed himself in an explosion!”
Gu Qingyao was shocked!
“What? What happened to Senior? Is he injured?”
By this point, Professor Ai Bode was so angry that his veins bulged. “Injured? Wu wu wu ah ah ah, that bastard was completely unharmed, but he blew up my laboratory instead! He’ll be the death of me! He’ll be the death of me!”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
Senior was truly getting more and more skillful!
Gu Qingyao laughed dryly and consoled the old professor. The old fellow was not satisfied until she reaffirmed her promise to give him a large sum of money.
Gu Qingyao felt that the old fellow was purely after her for the money. How horrible!
On the way home, Gu Qingyao turned the problem over in her mind. She felt that she had made a significant loss. Her Senior had blown up the laboratory, but she had to pay for it. It was not worthwhile at all. Surely, she should do something about it?
By the time she reached the Mo house, Gu Qingyao had thought of an idea!
She excitedly rushed over to the phone to call the Qiao house. Qiao Yuying picked up the call.
“Mother, is one of you going overseas soon? Can they help me carry a letter?”
Qiao Yuying was surprised. “To France? Sure! Your oldest cousin is going over in a couple of days. Something about a batch of goods that he has to deal with personally.”
After all, the Qiao family’s business was overseas, and they had only just begun investing in China. It had not been easy for them to break into the international market. Of course they would not give up their business so easily.
So the Qiao family still needed to travel overseas.
Gu Qingyao was delighted. “That’s fine. I’ll write the letter immediately and send it to the Qiao house first thing tomorrow morning so that he can bring it to France for me.”
The Qiao family had been overseas for so long that sending a letter was a simple matter. Of course Qiao Yuying agreed.
Gu Qingyao took up her pen and wrote a long letter. Early the next morning, she sent it to the Qiao house.
When Oldest Cousin saw the address on the letter, he frowned. “Where is this? This… seems rather familiar?”
Gu Qingyao chuckled. “No need to second guess yourself. It’s where you think it is. It’s something like… a ghetto.”
Oldest Cousin: “…”
He remembered that their company once held a charity event to promote their corporate image. He had personally attended the event!
He seemed to remember that it had taken place at this location.
“Your friend lives there?”
Gu Qingyao nodded.
“Surely not! Is he in a difficult situation? Does he need help?”
Oldest Cousin, Qiao Xinming, had not observed that any of his younger cousin’s friends were having difficulties. His impression of his younger cousin was that she lived a life of abundance and her social circle consisted of people in upper-class society, or her former classmates. Ghetto?
He did not understand.
Gu Qingyao laughed. “Cousin, this person is rather special. Actually, he’s an exceptional person, but… he’s not very financially savvy. He earns a lot of money, but unfortunately… he has lost all of it!”
