1237: Paying Min Yu With Min Yu’s Money

Paying Min Yu With Min Yu’s Money

President Xue was sitting on the couch behind the man, talking. "I haven't asked you for any help in years. This time, it is a very important project. If you can help me take care of the equipment, it would help a lot. Can you help?"1

The man continued standing at the window looking down without turning back. He kept looking out of the window until Huo Yao raised her head. He finally turned slightly and looked at President Xue. "What were you saying?"

President Xue went speechless.

He looked at Min Yu angrily. Min Yu finally connected the dots and asked. "Is the institute working on something with Tsing University?"

President Xue did not understand why Min Yu suddenly brought this up. He paused briefly before he replied. "We need a third generation smart robot with independent thinking for a deep sea exploration project. In order to do so, we plan on using AL."

This must be the reason Huo Yao was here at the institute.

Min Yu pondered briefly. He quickly nodded and replied. "Okay."

"Do you mean you will help take care of the weapons?" asked President Xue cautiously after swallowing some saliva.

Min Yu nodded and seemed open to the suggestion. "Uh huh."

President Xue had come up with a lot of ways to convince Min Yu to help. He was even prepared to act pitiful. Now that Min Yu suddenly agreed, he could not help feeling astonished and did not know what to say.

He could not believe his ears. Did his disciple really agree to help? He had shockingly agreed to help without putting up any resistance.

President Xue was still reeling in surprise when Min Yu said, "Well, I don't work for free."

After snapping out of his shock, President Xue promptly nodded. "We can pay you."

His disciple was a rich man and did not need money. Why would he suddenly mention money? Since Min Yu was willing to help the institute, President Xue certainly did not mind paying the guy.

After all, Min Yu had donated a lot of money to the institute, so President Xue was as good as paying Min Yu with his own money.

Before long, President Xue called his assistant to prepare the contract. He was afraid his disciple might change his mind at any time.

He could only trust Min Yu after he had signed the contract.

When Min Yu noticed President Xue's reaction, he shook his head. He turned to look out of the window. Someone was sitting at the seat earlier, but it was now empty.

He raised his brow. After veering his eyes, he retrieved his phone from his pocket.

Huo Yao sat outside briefly before heading back to the lounge. Shortly after she had taken a seat, her phone rang in her pocket. She had received a text message.

Min Yu asked: [When are you leaving?]

Huo Yao blinked in disbelief when she saw the text message: [???]

After sending the text message, she received a call in a split second and she answered it promptly.

"I mean when are you leaving the institute?" came Min Yu's voice over the phone.

She was stunned. She glanced at the door and asked. "Are you at the institute?"

Min Yu replied. "Uh huh."

Huo Yao was caught by surprise, but she did not probe. She simply said, "I don't know either. The school representatives are here to sign a contract. Once they are done, I can leave. I suppose they will be done soon."

Min Yu placed his hand on the window sill and rapped his fingers gently before he said, "I need about ten more minutes here. Shall we leave together?"

Huo Yao gave it some thought and felt it was a great suggestion. "Okay. Call you when I can leave."

Min Yu acknowledged in response.

Qi Hui and Mr. Jin were done signing the contract, so they walked toward her.

Mr. Jin parted his lips and wanted to tell Huo Yao they were ready to leave, but Qi Hui interrupted him. "What have you done this time? Why is Mr. Wei unhappy with you?"
