You look like a tourist at first glance, while I’m dragging all this luggage—anyone seeing us would think I’m fleeing a disaster.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aren’t you full of energy? Perfect chance to burn it off.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yao felt no guilt; last night this guy had plenty of stamina—he kept arguing with her even after claiming he was tired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You seduced me first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qingzhou quietly reminded her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shut up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yao glared at Xu Qingzhou; she’d planned to tease him, then coldly reject him as punishment for his all-night lab work—but instead, she got caught red-handed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After warning Xu Qingzhou, her gaze landed on the parked Volkswagen Passat in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she despised Xu Qingzhou, she still took one of his suitcases and pushed it toward the Passat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perfect timing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qingzhou suspected that if Old Xu and Old Song hadn’t shown up just then, she’d have flown into a rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Old Xu’s new car, bought for just over 200,000 yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nowadays society is better, families are better, driving a good car is normal—but within the system, there’s invisible pressure, especially for those aiming upward; for deputy section-level officials, it doesn’t matter much, but once you reach department level, being low-key and steady may not bring advantages, but it certainly brings no harm—it avoids many unnecessary troubles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after Xu Qingzhou made such a splash, Xu Shou and Wang Xiaping, even Song Shisong and Zhang Junli, tried their best to stay low-key.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With lithium dendrite and shuttling effect problems solved, the EV market has exploded; cars with thousand-kilometer ranges are no longer novel—but Old Xu still preferred the feel of driving a gasoline car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dad, Uncle Xu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yao reverted to her quiet, demure little-girl persona.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Shisong told the two young people, “We got stuck in traffic a bit—did you two wait here long? Get in the car first, we’ll take your suitcases.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We just got out ourselves.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qingzhou shook his head and went to open the trunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Song Shisong took Song Yao’s suitcase and followed Xu Qingzhou to load the luggage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Xu Qingzhou’s trunk, he spotted two fish in a bucket: “Whoa—two Hualian? You two didn’t stop at the market on the way, did you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Would bought fish be this lively?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Shouyun scowled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve got a point—two of them? Impressive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qingzhou glanced at the fish; they were thin, probably from a wild pond—special fishing spots usually had their fish fattened up by anglers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Xu and Old Song both raised an eyebrow, as if these two fish proved they weren’t just empty-headed bigwigs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Shouyun, helping stuff the luggage into the car, said, “When we get back, have your mom cook them up—this kid needs fish.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dad, I was joking!” Xu Qingzhou quickly apologized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four of them got in the car, laughing and chatting, heading toward the house by Jinjiang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Shouyun asked, “You two came back so early—no problems at the institute or company?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No. If the place can’t run without us for a while, then let it collapse—it’s not worth wasting time on.”\u003C\u002Fp>",664,"2026-06-20T21:06:45.888Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","601b445131ca1182e1e0466cfaa89cd9cc89ff7bb7062049ba23c3aab0452349","i-m-focused-on-science-but-you-want-to-trick-me--chapter-790","i-m-focused-on-science-but-you-want-to-trick-me--chapter-788",790,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-focused-on-science-but-you-want-to-trick-me--cover.jpg"]
