"Appr... Approved?"
Seeing the instant reply, Aqing, who was about to back up soil data with a card reader, looked at the conversation on the computer screen with a surprised expression.
In the past, when asking for leave, although the reasons were valid, the instructor would basically agree after a few remarks.
But this time, the speed of the reply and the answer to help fill out the leave form made Aqing feel that something seemed a bit off, though she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
[Approved?]
[Yes! But you have to do us a favor. Later, secretly tell the white buffalo to stay at the Agricultural Research Institute instead of the School of Animal Science. The folks at the School of Animal Science don't hesitate to throw you under the bus.]
The instructor replied instantly and also described the content of the task Aqing needed to help with.
"What a strange task..."
Aqing muttered to herself, but still agreed to help the instructor out.
