Chapter 294: Chloe Wants to Take Me to Meet Her Parents
Ian Winters was a little suspicious. It took him a few glances to confirm it, but yes, that was definitely a look of pure gloating in Jasper Shaw’s eyes.
It was gloating, plain and simple!
Before he could even process it, he heard his boss slowly say, "Chloe said she’s going to take me to meet her parents for the New Year."
Ian Winters: "..."
There was a saying online: minimal damage, maximum humiliation.
With Jasper Shaw, it was all or nothing. Now that he had succeeded, he was advancing like an unstoppable force.
It hadn’t even been half a month since they made their relationship official, and they were already at the stage of meeting her parents.
Remembering that he was still single, Ian Winters felt his chest fill with sour grapes as he stared at his boss.
"Sir, if you don’t need anything else, I’ll head out."
Jasper Shaw raised an eyebrow at Ian Winters’s resentful glare. "Once this month is over, I’ll give you a vacation."
"And a raise."
At these words, Ian Winters instantly perked up.
’The vacation wasn’t a big deal. As long as he got paid, that was what mattered.’
After Ian Winters left the office, he was immediately surrounded by several secretaries.
"Special Assistant Winters, what did the boss say? What kind of mood is he in?"
The group stared at Ian Winters anxiously, as if their combined gazes could bore a hole right through him.
Ian Winters chuckled and gave the crowd a gentle look. "The boss is in a good mood today. If you have reports to turn in, you’d better do it now while he’s happy."
The group breathed a collective sigh of relief and scurried back to their desks to grab their materials.

Now that the lab project was finished, Chloe Sinclair had significantly more free time.
But even though the semester was almost over, she didn’t know very many of her classmates.
Therefore, she was completely baffled when the class president asked her to pay the class dues.
"Chloe Sinclair, even though you rarely attend class, you’re still part of it. You aren’t going to refuse to pay the twenty-yuan class dues, are you? I’m the one who covered the previous twenty-yuan fee for you!"
The class president was a young woman with a heavy southern accent, which made her speech sound a bit jarring.
But Chloe Sinclair was a southerner herself, so she could understand it well enough. She simply looked at the tanned young woman before her.
She hesitated for a moment before asking carefully, "Excuse me, may I ask who you are?"
The class president: "..."
It wasn’t that Chloe Sinclair didn’t want to pay the class dues; it was just that the young woman’s face was completely unfamiliar to her.
But seeing the class president’s face darken, she didn’t press the matter and simply took out her phone.
"Excuse me, is it okay if I pay by phone? I don’t have any cash on me today."
Chloe Sinclair spoke with a hint of girlish innocence, her slow and deliberate manner putting others at ease.
"Sinclair, this is our class president, Jane Ford."
Upon hearing this, Chloe Sinclair gave Jane Ford a gentle nod.
Jane Ford found herself momentarily speechless.
After receiving the forty yuan, she just snorted and walked away.
Chloe Sinclair wasn’t angry. She just went back to reading the new research materials she had bought.
By now, she had read through all the available materials, both domestic and foreign.
Although it looked like she was reading the book in her hands, she had actually entered the system during class to start familiarizing herself with the instruments.
Thousands of instruments were arranged in a laboratory that was several thousand square meters in size.
Chloe Sinclair had to memorize not only the names of these instruments and pieces of equipment, but also their basic functions and related experiments, all within a short period of time.
Eight told her that these were only the most basic instruments. Once she reached the third floor and above, she would be able to truly experience the technology of the system’s world.
Chloe Sinclair was stunned, which only made her more eager to see what kind of world awaited her on the third floor and beyond.
"Chloe Sinclair!"
