Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss - Chapter 624

Chapter 624: Chapter 598: Surprise and Kicking Out (Thanks to Silver League Master kateliu for the Silver Reward +3)

Yu Minglang’s marriage proposal was successful, and he was overjoyed.

Xiao Qian had overcome her pre-marriage phobia and was also in high spirits.

This unique marriage proposal ceremony did not involve extravagance or luxurious props. The entire budget, which was spent on fireworks, was minimal. Although it nearly disrupted Yu Minglang’s plan, the simple yet sincere gesture was enough.

Xiao Qian firmly believed that her choice was not wrong.

Not only was he a highly respected boss, but he was also a man who warmed her heart with his passion. Having him in her life was more than enough.

They had intended to celebrate the proposal success at home together, but Yu Minglang had to go back to the company. He had important things to do in the morning, so he had to return to work that evening, leaving Xiao Qian with a heavy heart.

“After finishing my work tomorrow, I’ll inform my family, then we can get our marriage certificate. I’ll handle the rest when I come back.”

He had already prepared a house for them to live in after marriage, where Xiao Mei could move in.

From then on, they would be together every day and night.

The house was not far from her school, just a few minutes’ drive. Having a car at home was not a problem, and he was thrilled to think of spending time with her every day and night.

“By the way, why didn’t you leave with Qiao Zhen and the others?” Xiao Qian was prepared to live apart from him after marriage, but she firmly believed she could endure the loneliness.

“I’ll give you a surprise next time we meet.” He kissed her on the cheek before turning to leave.

If Xiao Mei knew he had already moved the company’s headquarters here, she would be delighted. This grand surprise would be revealed after obtaining the marriage certificate~

Yu Minglang believed that Xiao Mei would love him even more. No doubt!

Xiao Qian spent the night tossing and turning, trying to figure out what kind of surprise it would be.

The next day, Professor Liu called her to the school to discuss something.

She found Professor Liu at the laboratory.

“What’s the matter, Professor?” Xiao Qian asked.

“Nothing much, the Doctoral Supervisor I found for you will be returning from abroad soon. I’ve prepared a recommendation letter for you; you can send it along with your other materials to his email. Once he’s back, we can arrange a meeting for you two. It’s a bit early to prepare for this now, as you still have more than a year left to finish your studies. But he’s a bit particular, so it’s better to prepare early and secure a spot.”

There’s a limited quota for PhD students under a Doctoral Supervisor, usually only one or two per cohort. Although Old Qi has an unappealing character, he has a famous reputation both domestically and internationally. So, it’s necessary to prepare early or risk losing a spot.

With a casual tone, Professor Liu dropped a bombshell on Xiao Qian, who took a while to respond.

“Professor… Did you say Doctoral Supervisor?!”

“Yes, I’ve found one for you.”

“Professor, I still want to follow you. Why do you want to kick me out?”

The school intended to let Xiao Qian take up a PhD under Professor Liu, and she wanted to continue following him too.

“Follow what? Do you want me to watch you getting married and having children every day? The most annoying thing is that you didn’t even put much effort into your major, yet you’ve learned more than half of my lifetime’s knowledge! You should leave and infect that monster Old Qi!”

Professor Liu recommended a formidable Doctoral Supervisor for Xiao Qian, who had almost reached the pinnacle in the academic field, albeit with a problematic personality. Professor Liu weighed the pros and cons and, although reluctant to let go of his favorite student, he thought it necessary for her to change supervisors, for her better development.

“Professor, have I done something wrong? You’re so determined to drive me away.”

Xiao Qian couldn’t bear to part with her benefactor.

She knew full well how Professor Liu treated her, from their past and present lives as teacher and student.

She had originally planned to complete her postgraduate courses early, but Professor Liu disagreed, wanting her to be more grounded in her studies. Following his arrangement, she had always thought she would remain by his side to complete her PhD studies, but unexpectedly, he casually kicked her out.

Seeing Xiao Qian’s longing eyes, Professor Liu’s heart softened, but he steeled himself for her future.

“Are you still breastfeeding at three years old? Can you follow me for a lifetime? I don’t have much to teach you anymore. Following Old Qi will also be beneficial for your future development. Although I’m reluctant to admit it, his international reputation in our field is greater than mine. A PhD under him would give you better prospects than following me.”

“I don’t like the way you’re talking. I think you’re the best teacher.”

“You’re usually not like this at all. Why did you suddenly become so sappy?” Professor Liu’s eyes welled up, happy to have nurtured such a sentimental student over the years.

But for her sake, he had to bear the pain and let her go.

“That’s it. I’ll leave Old Qi’s email here. Get your materials ready within the next three days and send them to him. If I find out you’ve been careless or didn’t send them, you know my temper. Don’t disappoint me!”

Having said that, he threw a piece of paper on the table and left.

Xiao Qian knew Professor Liu’s temper; once he decided to let her go, there was no turning back.

What a depressing day. First, Xiao Qiang suddenly returned; then, right after, Professor Liu broke such news to her. Xiao Qian had no outlet for her pent-up frustration.

“Well, I won’t take up a PhD then; I’ll just complete my Master’s and take the Level 2 exam. With a few years of clinical experience, I can also take the Level 1 exam as a Master’s candidate.”

Her words successfully stopped Professor Liu in his tracks and made him turn around angrily.

“Say that again!”

Xiao Qian stubbornly pursed her lips. “You don’t want me anymore, you want to kick me out, so what’s the point of my continuing my studies?”

“You brat!” Professor Liu walked over and raised his hand. Xiao Qian closed her eyes, thinking if you dare to hit me again, go ahead! I’ve been hit before in my past life anyway!

Instead of receiving a slap from her teacher, she opened her eyes in confusion to see Professor Liu’s hand hovering in mid-air, tears brimming.

“You little brat, your words leave me speechless! He’s the most authoritative psychological expert on an international level, focusing on your PhD direction. He’s more advantageous for the area you’re planning to study next than I am.”

In this life, Xiao Qian had almost completed the subjects she studied in her previous life, so she planned to challenge herself with a different branch of psychology during her PhD studies. Indeed, the Doctoral Supervisor recommended by Professor Liu had greater authority, resources, and advantages in that area.

“I don’t want anyone else; I just want to follow you. You can hit me a few more times, and I’ll stick to you.”

Professor Liu couldn’t help but chuckle at her stubbornness. The hand dropped, and instead of the expected pain, Xiao Qian felt her teacher’s gentle touch on her face.
