The Fake Daughter Is Not Innocent-Chapter 120 - Chinese Academy of Sciences

He looked deeply at Xiao Ying and sighed. “We’re getting old. The future is going to be in the hands of you youngsters.”

After some negotiations, Xiao Ying was set to leave for the capital in three days.

When it was time, Xiao Ying waited at the airport.

Seeing Cheng Yao walk over, she immediately went forward.

Seeing Zhou Yao behind him, she said in surprise, “Why are you here?”

Zhou Yao was also carrying luggage. It was obvious that he was not just here to see Cheng Yao off.

Cheng Yao chuckled and said, “He’ll enter the Chinese Academy of Sciences with you.”

Xiao Ying looked at Zhou Yao in surprise and said with some displeasure, “Why didn’t you tell me?”

To think that she thought she would never see him again and had been sad for a few days.

Zhou Yao looked at Xiao Ying with a gentle gaze and said, “I wanted to give you a surprise.”

Cheng Yao coughed hard.

He had not expected his ice-cold nephew to say something like that.

Xiao Ying was also a little shocked. But this Zhou Yao was much better than his previous cold personality.

He even knew how to crack jokes now.

They boarded the plane and arrived in Beijing after flying for several hours.

As soon as she got off the plane, Xiao Ying realized that her phone was gone.

She looked around for it, but it was not on her body or in her luggage. 𝒇𝙧𝚎𝐞𝙬𝒆𝑏𝑛𝑜v𝚎𝒍.c𝑜m

Her phone was switched off too. It must have been stolen.

Xiao Ying, who did not want to delay everyone, expressed that it was alright. She would just buy another one.

Cheng Yao said, “You can’t bring any electronic devices into the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Everyone will be provided with a special device.”

Xiao Ying nodded in understanding.

Someone had already come to pick them up outside the airport.

After arriving at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Cheng Yao had some things to do, so he arranged for someone to take them to their dormitories to rest.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences was a circular building. It was silver in color and looked very technological. 𝗳r𝗲𝙚w𝐞𝚋𝘯𝚘ѵ𝗲l.𝑐oｍ

In the open building, they could see the scientists coming and going.

They were all wearing white uniforms and had the same anxious look on their faces.

The person who was showing them around was a graduate student who had come to the Chinese Academy of Sciences to be an assistant researcher.

After introducing himself, they knew that his name was Chen Qiang. He had already been at the Chinese Academy of Sciences for two years.

He naturally knew Xiao Ying. He smiled and said, “Academician Xiao Ying, you’re really gracing our Chinese Academy of Sciences with your presence.”

These words caused Xiao Ying to frown, and she said, “You can’t say that carelessly. I came to the Chinese Academy of Sciences to learn.”

If Chen Qiang’s words were spread, they would think Xiao Ying was really arrogant.

Chen Qiang smiled and apologized for saying the wrong thing.

No one spoke. The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Xiao Ying and Zhou Yao actually adjusted quite well.

But Chen Qiang’s face was a little dark.

After dropping the two off at their destination, he said a few words about the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ rules carelessly and left.

The dorm rooms here were all singles.

Xiao Ying and Zhou Yao chose the two neighboring rooms.

Xiao Ying started unpacking when she suddenly thought of Cheng Yang and paused.

She had not seen or contacted him in the past few days. What was he up to?

This seemed to be the first time they had such a big dispute.

Touching the injury on her lips that had almost healed completely, she shook her head and discarded the thoughts from her mind.

The next day, they reported to Cheng Yao’s office early.

Cheng Yao led them into a research lab. The people inside were already busy.

As soon as they entered, a few people greeted Cheng Yao. They all looked very friendly.

Cheng Yao clapped his hands and pointed at Xiao Ying and Zhou Yao. “These two are Academician Xiao Ying and Zhou Yao. From today onwards, I’ll arrange for them to join your team. Cooperate well.”

With that, he left.

Xiao Ying smiled and greeted them.

There was only one person she knew, and it was Chen Qiang, whom she had met yesterday.

The person in charge of this team was Academician Lu Lin. He was around 50 years old and looked quite serious.

He looked at Xiao Ying and said, “I still lack an assistant. You two follow me first. As for where you will be assigned to in the future, that will depend on your own ability.”

Xiao Ying smiled and agreed. Zhou Yao just nodded indifferently as usual.
