Fake Rich Daughter Is A Scientist From The Future

Chapter 54: Surrounded by Wolves

He Yu had never cared about Bi Ying. In the past, he had only regarded his half-brother who was an illegitimate child as a pebble on the road of life that could be kicked away at will.

Just like how he had broken Bi Ying’s legs with just a little effort and chased him out of the He Family, now, He Yu felt that although Bi Ying was a genius to a certain extent, he still wouldn’t be a threat to him.

He Yu looked at the furious Bi Ying calmly and his lips curled into a mocking smile. “Bi Ying, do you think you’ve won against me just by continuing to stay in Qingli High School? On the contrary, it’s best for me if you were to stay in Qingli High School. This is my territory…”

Bi Ying’s face distorted from being angered by He Yu and he clenched his fists tightly, as though he wanted to rush over and punch He Yu’s face.

Huo Tian quickly grabbed onto one of Bi Ying’s arms and muttered into his ear, “Abiding by the laws, abiding by the laws… Bi Ying, have you forgotten? We must be good law-abiding citizens.”

Bi Ying’s brain, which had almost lost its cool from the anger, cleared up a little. He calmed down a little and grabbed Huo Tian’s wrist.

Bi Ying then looked at He Yu. “He Yu, you did have a good plan. After you realize that you can’t chase Huo Tian and me out of Qingli High School, you want to squeeze value out of her instead. However, there’s one thing you’ve miscalculated. Huo Tian is not a chess piece that you can manipulate as you wish.”

As Bi Ying spoke, he looked at Huo Tian who was beside him, as if he wanted to find support from her.

Huo Tian didn’t let Bi Ying down. She stood firmly by her friend and looked at He Yu with an attitude that was neither servile nor overbearing.

“Bi Ying is right. I have knowledge and technology that transcends the era, but I won’t let my technological achievements be a tool for you to reap benefits.”

After saying that, some of the board members who could not hold back their anger whispered among themselves and looked at Bi Ying and Huo Tian in disagreement.

Si Huan, who had been sitting in his seat without saying a word, could understand what these people were thinking. Perhaps, in the beginning, these board members wouldn’t have taken Bi Ying and Huo Tian’s scientific research seriously. They would have only thought that it’d be just small-scale projects done by two high school students.

However, after He Yu’s reminder, the board members realized that these technological achievements could bring them huge profits. Now, Bi Ying and Huo Tian had both said that they wouldn’t give He Yu a piece of the cake. This also meant that the board members couldn’t get their share either.

How could they possibly agree to this?

Indeed, all of this was as He Yu had expected. It was as if everything was under his control. He Yu even revealed a happy smile.

“Both of you are very proud and upright, but the school has already set up such a high-end laboratory for you. For this, the school’s board of directors has invested tens of millions of yuan. If you don’t take out any technological achievements, wouldn’t that be a little unreasonable?”

A big-bellied board member with a bald head was the most impatient. He echoed, “Mr. He is right. Since the school has invested a lot of money and built a high-end laboratory for the two of you, it means that we believe in your capabilities. If you don’t bring out satisfactory scientific research results, won’t you be letting the board of directors and the school’s management down?”

No matter how nice it sounded, in the end, it was just to convince Bi Ying and Huo Tian to give up their rights after they came up with the corresponding results.

Bi Ying suppressed his anger. Although he was a genius, he was not good at handling interpersonal relationships, let alone fighting a battle over benefits.

He turned to look at the person beside him and realized that Huo Tian also had an unhappy expression on her face, but she wasn’t angry. She seemed to only feel frustrated.

Before transmigrating, Huo Tian had experienced such scenes many times. Those capitalists and politicians would often use all sorts of methods to snatch more money and more benefits. Huo Tian was already used to the filthiness of such scenes.

Hence, Huo Tian only felt impatient at this moment. She crossed her arms and said, “Are you guys done? Do you really think that Bi Ying and I, two high school students, are unable to protect our interests?”

Her impertinent attitude made many of the board members frown.

However, Huo Tian didn’t care about other people’s opinions of her. “You guys are right. I have many research projects on hand, including some groundbreaking research results. If they are commercialized, the benefits that can be generated are immeasurable. But what has that got to do with you guys?”

These words were simply saying that the board members, led by He Yu, were delusional. Huo Tian would never let them take advantage of her.

He Yu’s face darkened. “Huo Tian, I think you should learn to be grateful. After all, in order to support your laboratory, the school’s management has been running around busily and the board of directors has also invested a large amount of money. Now, you’re saying that all the research results have nothing to do with the board of directors?”

A board member secretly pursed his lips and said in a low voice, “No wonder the Huo Family keeps calling this adopted daughter an ingrate. It seems like she’s really an ungrateful brat…”
