CHAPTER 47: CHAPTER 47: AN ACCIDENTAL ENCOUNTER WITH YANG LIN

Captain Ma handed the envelope to Lin Xiaoyan, "Captain He is not around recently, so you can contact me directly if there’s anything you need."

Lin Xiaoyan happily accepted the envelope and nodded with a smile in agreement.

On the way back, Lin Xiaoyan deposited ten thousand yuan into her bank account.

Looking at the balance, Lin Xiaoyan felt delighted.

Back at her rental place, she logged onto the Bureau’s app and clicked to accept a task.

That night, Lin Xiaoyan thought about many things. She decided to look for other part-time jobs after her stint at Jingrui Company.

The timing would be flexible, without any constraints.

She also took the opportunity to ask the manager for a half-day off.

Seeing the manager’s reply, Lin Xiaoyan felt quite embarrassed.

She never took so many days off when she was studying, but now at work, she’s often on leave.

The next morning, Lin Xiaoyan woke up feeling refreshed. Now that she had another source of income, she had been indulgently sleeping with the air conditioning on every night.

Sleeping with the air conditioning on is so comfortable!

Just after freshening up, Lin Xiaoyan received a message saying Captain Ma had already arrived.

She quickly tidied herself up and headed downstairs.

"Good morning, Captain Ma."

"Good morning, Xiao Lin. You haven’t eaten, right? I just bought breakfast along the way."

Captain Ma handed the bought breakfast to Lin Xiaoyan.

Lin Xiaoyan felt embarrassed, "Have you eaten? I don’t need..."

"I have, I just finished eating."

Captain Ma smiled warmly, encouraging Lin Xiaoyan to eat, as they headed out to Sea City Science and Technology University.

Upon reaching Sea City Science and Technology University, Captain Ma directly showed his credentials at the gate and drove the car inside.

Today, it was just Captain Ma and Lin Xiaoyan.

The car stopped in front of a research building, and Captain Ma led Lin Xiaoyan out of the vehicle.

"Wait a bit, I’ll contact someone." Captain Ma said to Lin Xiaoyan.

Lin Xiaoyan nodded, "Alright."

She looked around, surprised by this nationally top-ranked university—the buildings were so beautiful.

Moreover, the students she had seen along the way were all spirited, exuding confidence.

"Alright, let’s go."

After making a phone call, Captain Ma led Lin Xiaoyan into the research building.

Inside the research building, Professor Lin finished his call and helplessly called for his assistant, asking him to gather everyone who was going to Ugly Country.

In no time, everybody gathered around Professor Lin.

"Professor, why did you call us over? Is there something?" Professor Zhang looked at Professor Lin and asked.

Professor Lin glanced at the group, suddenly noticing someone was missing.

"Where’s Xiao Yang?"

Yang Ming, as Professor Lin’s prized student, was absent, which Professor Lin immediately noticed.

Professor Lin’s assistant quickly explained, "Xiao Yang took a short leave this morning; his cousin came over, and he went to meet him but will be back soon."

Upon hearing that, Professor Lin immediately knew who it was, "Oh, no problem, give Xiao Yang a call and ask him to return for a while, let his cousin wait a bit."

"By the way, go outside and get someone, they’re already at the gate; bring them in."

"Alright, Professor."

The assistant quickly went out.

By this time, Captain Ma had already arrived with Lin Xiaoyan at the entrance of the research building, waiting for someone inside to come out and receive them.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at the tightly secure entrance and sighed inwardly.

Her university was nothing compared to this!

No wonder, after graduation, her monthly salary was so low, and she constantly struggled to find suitable work.

Students from this university are highly sought after by major companies upon graduation.

It’s incomparable!

"Brother, wait here for me for a moment, I’ll head to the professor’s and come right back."

"No need, I’m just here to see a friend and to check on you, go ahead with your work."

Lin Xiaoyan suddenly heard a familiar voice. She turned her head and saw Yang Lin talking to a handsome young man.

With an astonished look on her face, Lin Xiaoyan exclaimed, "Doctor Yang!"

Yang Lin, hearing the voice, turned around and saw Lin Xiaoyan standing there.

His eyes showed surprise, "Xiao Yan?"

"It’s really you, Doctor Yang!"

Seeing a familiar person, Lin Xiaoyan instantly felt relaxed.

Yang Lin walked up to Lin Xiaoyan, then glanced at the person beside her, "And this is?"

"Oh, this is Captain Ma, he is..."

"Captain Ma, this is Doctor Yang from the Central Hospital..."

Lin Xiaoyan introduced them to each other.

Upon hearing this, Captain Ma and Yang Lin recognized each other’s roles.

"Hello, Captain Ma."

Yang Lin extended his hand to Captain Ma in greeting.

Captain Ma quickly extended his hand, shaking Yang Lin’s, "Hello, Doctor Yang, I’ve heard a lot about you!"

"You guys are here for..." Yang Lin looked at Lin Xiaoyan, "a task?"

Lin Xiaoyan nodded repeatedly, "Yes."

"I’m here for some work today, just came by to see my cousin, this is my cousin, Yang Ming."

Yang Lin introduced him to Lin Xiaoyan.

Yang Ming stood beside them, surprised to see his cousin speaking so amicably with a woman.

Don’t be fooled by his cousin’s courteous demeanor. Those who know him understand that he is the coldest member of their family!

"Beep"

The research building’s door opened from the inside, and when Professor Lin’s assistant saw the people outside, he paused for a moment.

Then quickly regaining his composure, "You must be the ones invited by Professor Lin, right?"

Captain Ma promptly stepped forward, "Yes."

"Please, come in."

"Yang Ming, you come in too." The assistant did not forget to call Yang Ming.

Yang Ming looked at his cousin, speaking in a low voice, "Brother, why don’t you come in as well?"

Lin Xiaoyan looked at Yang Lin.

Yang Lin caught Lin Xiaoyan’s gaze, his eyes gleaming with amusement, "Alright, I need to see Chu Yan anyway."

Hearing that Yang Lin was joining them in the research building made Lin Xiaoyan secretly relieved.

She didn’t know why, but every time she saw Doctor Yang, she couldn’t help but feel relaxed, as if having Doctor Yang nearby offered a sense of safety.

Captain Ma and his group followed the assistant into the research building.

"Professor Lin is already waiting inside."

The assistant knocked on the door, speaking to Captain Ma, then pushed the door open, inviting them in.

Yang Lin naturally walked in as well.

The assistant noticed and quickly attempted to stop him.

"Yang Lin is here too."

Seeing that Professor Lin actually knew Yang Ming’s cousin, the assistant swallowed his words.

Yang Lin politely greeted Professor Lin.

Professor Lin nodded, looking at Captain Ma and the girl behind him.

Upon seeing Lin Xiaoyan’s youthful face, Professor Lin paused, then looked at Captain Ma.

Captain Ma nodded to him, and Professor Lin turned his gaze back to Lin Xiaoyan.

With a smile, he said, "Hello, young lady."

This one sentence drew everyone’s eyes to Lin Xiaoyan.

Lin Xiaoyan’s body instantly tensed up as she smiled awkwardly, "Hello, Professor."
