"Who are you talking to on the phone?" Professor Huang asked calmly and casually.

Guo Yacai forced himself to remain calm and answered vaguely: "Ah, nothing... I, I was just talking to my family on the phone, it's not a big deal..."

He was completely confused, and cold sweat was running down his back. He was really too careless. He didn't know when Professor Huang came over. How much did she hear?

Professor Huang walked towards him.

"Oh, it's nothing serious..." Fortunately, Professor Huang didn't intend to delve into it, and just turned to ask him: "I just stopped by to see how your paper is going. It's been more than a month, the first draft should be out soon, right?"

Guo Ya just breathed a sigh of relief, but then he became nervous again. He had not paid attention to his thesis at all during this period. He was busy keeping an eye on Mo Li and Professor Huang's every move. As for the progress of his thesis? Almost zero.

"No, not yet... I guess it will take me some time to write." Guo Yacai awkwardly moved back, trying to use his body to block the document on his computer screen that had only an outline written on it and the rest was blank.

"No wonder you are so nervous when you see me, like a mouse seeing a cat." Professor Huang sighed lightly, but he didn't blame him. "You are too slow. The students in your group have already revised their papers to the second draft. Xiao Guo, don't complain about the teacher nagging. You have to hurry up--"

Guo Yacai nodded quickly with a red face: "Yes, yes, yes... Mainly because you know, I have been busy dealing with all the messy troubles at home recently... I was accidentally injured some time ago, so the progress will naturally be slower than others."

Professor Huang sighed again. It would be hard for anyone to feel good about young people getting married and divorced so quickly. She nodded to show her understanding and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

"I see. Just take your time to write. Anyway, you still have some time before your senior year internship, so you still have plenty of time... I was originally planning to ask you to arrange a lab party in a few days, but since you don't have time, I'll find someone else."

Guo Yacai's ears immediately pricked up: "Party? What party?"

Professor Huang then explained, "Xiao Mo said that everyone has been too busy doing experiments during this period, and suggested to me that after the press conference, we should take everyone out for a party, eat and sing songs, etc. But then I thought, the college has set the press conference on the 22nd of this month, and then it will be Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, which you young people like to celebrate the most. Anyway, the materials for the press conference are almost ready now, so we should not delay you young people from going out to celebrate the holidays. It doesn't matter if we get together before the press conference, just treat it as an early celebration."

At this moment, Guo Yacai immediately became excited. He rolled his eyes and quickly took the matter over: "Well, just leave this small matter to me!"

Professor Huang hesitated: "...But haven't you finished your paper yet?"

Guo Yacai smiled and patted his chest: "It doesn't matter! It's just arranging a party. It won't take me much time. Just think of it as a change of mind!"

Professor Huang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll trust you to do the job. I have to go on a business trip in the next two days, so let's set the time on the evening of the 21st."

Guo Yacai's eyes lit up: "No problem! I guarantee that everything will be arranged properly!"

……

It's true that arriving early is worse than arriving at the right time. Who says parties are bad? This party is great!

At least I don't have to worry about setting fire to the lab.

Guo Yacai was so excited that he kept rubbing his hands. By the evening of the 21st, all the materials for the press conference would be ready, and it would be the best time to take action. When everyone went out to party, he could just find an excuse to stay, and no one in the lab would be able to stop him.

By then, he would have to pry open the office door even if he had to, and get his 50 million US dollars!

In the following days, Guo Yacai was almost busy to the point of going crazy.

How could he care about his thesis? He had to expedite the visa application, buy plane tickets, and resell the worthless junk in his dormitory... everything was enough to keep him busy.

Since you have decided to just run away with the money, of course you have to make the best preparations!

……

On September 12th.

Guo Yacai was in a good mood today, and it was not until the afternoon that he sent the detailed arrangements of the party to Mo Li.

"It's more than ten kilometers from here?" Mo Li used his phone to check the location of the hotel he had chosen: "Senior Guo, isn't this hotel too far?"

Guo Yacai looked arrogant, as if he wanted to talk to her with his nose pointed at her: "What's wrong with being far away? Can't we just take a taxi? There are only a few restaurants near the school, and everyone is tired of eating there. What's wrong with changing places? Besides, I've already paid the deposit, so you have to go this time even if you don't want to."

Mo Li glared at him: "There's no need to go so far, right? We have a press conference tomorrow!"

This time, seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Mo Li's team members did not rush to help Mo Li, but instead stepped forward to be peacemakers: "Oh, forget it, Xiao Mo, just stay away, at most we can just leave earlier."

Guo Yacai was even more pleased when he saw that someone was actually helping him. "Look! Everyone agrees, but you are the only one who has a lot of opinions! There is a KTV next door to the place I chose. You can go there to sing after dinner. What else can you complain about?"

"Okay then." Mo Li had no choice but to compromise, and then asked with a puzzled look on his face: "But why 'us'? Senior Guo, aren't you going with us?"

Guo Yacai snorted coldly and said unhappily: "Do you think I am as free as you? It's good enough that I can take the time to help you make arrangements! I have a lot of things to do here and I don't have time to participate."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Hey - wait a minute." Mo Li called out to him from behind.

Guo Yacai's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Could it be that she had noticed something and wanted to stop him from staying alone in the lab?

His nerves tensed: "What happened again?"

Mo Li narrowed her eyes slightly and gave him a rare polite smile: "Nothing, the uncle in the mailroom downstairs said that your package has arrived, and asked you to remember to pick it up when you have time."

Guo Yacai's expression was obviously relieved: "Oh, I see."

Who would send a courier to the laboratory? Guo Yacai went downstairs with a puzzled look on his face, and found that there was indeed an email addressed to him, and it was actually sent from a law firm.

He opened it and saw that there was a red book inside, which was his divorce certificate.

Guo Yacai felt as if he had been greatly insulted. He gnashed his teeth in anger and said, "This spendthrift woman, she was so stingy when we were in love and didn't want to spend money on me, but this time she's willing to spend money on a lawyer for a divorce? Is she so anxious to get rid of me? Humph! She really thinks she's such a good person, right?"

But he thought again, this divorce certificate came at the right time. If nothing unexpected happened, he would become a billionaire tonight. With this divorce certificate, he no longer had to worry about Xi Yuntong being eligible to share his property.

When he flies to that free country with a huge sum of money, let that bitch cry and regret alone!
