Chapter 847: Chapter 847: [Extra] Outstanding People Are Drawn to Each Other
"I heard that to work in a research institute, you need to at least have a PhD, but this Mr. Xu doesn’t seem to be very old?" someone quietly remarked, staring at Xu Weiran’s face.
"That’s right, typically people don’t graduate with a PhD until they’re around thirty. Her boyfriend seems to be not much older than us, could Tang Dou be exaggerating?"
"Plus, I heard that researchers don’t earn much; it sounds nice to say, but their actual income is less than a mid-level manager in a company. Do you think he can afford a five-star chef with that kind of salary? Aren’t they just pretending to be wealthier than they actually are?"
Where there are people, there is The Martial World. Where there is praise, there naturally is doubt.
Of course, no one said it openly, they just gossiped quietly behind the scenes.
But Tang Dou couldn’t endure it, her ears sharp, and she confronted those gossiping: "If what I said is true, why don’t you open your phones and search the official website? Do I have any need to lie to you?"
"Also, who said researchers are poor? Maybe you don’t know about patents. Just one patent can sustain you for a lifetime, okay? And you’re questioning their income?"
"What about his age then? Working in a research institute at such a young age, don’t you find that problematic?"
Tang Dou: "What’s the problem? Generally, people get their PhD and join a research institute around thirty, but there are people in this world called geniuses. Being exceptionally hired and graduating early is nothing unusual."
Everyone: ...
No problem, they were indeed narrow-minded!
For a moment, Xu Weiran’s gaze was looked upon with increasingly complex emotions.
There was even a hint of envy in Sheng Ning’an’s gaze.
And after scolding everyone, Tang Dou contentedly dragged Sheng Ning’an to gossip.
Xu Weiran then walked over to Zhou Xian, reaching out to hand him a can of drink.
Zhou Xian accepted it and said, "Thanks!"
Xu Weiran: "You’re welcome, thank you for your help last time."
"It was originally my roommate’s issue, and it was right to help clear it up. I hope it didn’t cause any misunderstanding between the two of you," Zhou Xian replied.
Xu Weiran: "It didn’t!"
Zhou Xian glanced in the other direction and said, "That’s good."
Judging by their interaction just now, it seems like their relationship is quite stable.
Elsewhere, after Tang Dou and Sheng Ning’an finished gossiping about Li Mengtao and Chen Zhe, they looked up to see Xu Weiran standing with Zhou Xian talking.
"Hey, when did they meet?" Tang Dou asked curiously.
Truth be told, two handsome guys standing together is really pleasing to the eye.
Suddenly, it was understandable why so many people liked shipping male-male relationships; if both were this good-looking, it might not be impossible.
Following Tang Dou’s gaze, Sheng Ning’an looked at the two chatting together, also a bit puzzled.
Since when did their relationship become so close?
She had noticed earlier that when Xu Weiran came in, his eyes were immediately on Zhou Xian.
He seemed particularly attentive to Zhou Xian.
Also, Zhou Xian’s gaze on Xu Weiran was a bit odd,
She had a feeling something was slightly off between these two.
Tang Dou, excitedly watching the pair, said, "Could this be the legendary phenomenon where exceptional people are naturally attracted to one another?"
Whether outstanding people attract each other, Sheng Ning’an didn’t know; she only knew there seemed to be something between these two she was unaware of.
