However, they were all very cautious. They only stole a glance before quickly looking away, talking to their partners and pretending that nothing had happened.

Xie Xinyao was the exception.

She was the one who ostracized Qiao Nian.

Ever since Qiao Nian did not give her face and said that she was the newbie coming today, Xie Xinyao's face had darkened.

Every time she passed by Qiao Nian and Xue Zhu, Xie Xinyao would give Qiao Nian the stinky eye. She was extremely cold toward her.

She took the lead in ostracizing the newbies.

No one in the laboratory dared to offend her.

This caused the laboratory to be enveloped in a strange atmosphere for the entire morning. Everyone was clearly peeking at Qiao Nian, but no one went forward to speak to her.

At noon.

Xie Xinyao was the first to throw down her things and ask the people around her to go out for lunch.

Cao Yanhua had just returned. Seeing this scene, he took the initiative to say, "Junior Xie, today is Qiao Nian's first day as a member of our laboratory. Let's celebrate. My treat."

Xie Xinyao was almost unable to hold back the anger she had been suppressing all morning. She immediately frowned and did not even give Cao Yanhua face. Her face turned cold as she said, "I don't eat with people I'm not familiar with!"

"Qiao Nian has already joined our laboratory. She…" Cao Yanhua wanted to say that she was also one of them. According to the laboratory's previous rules, every time there was a newcomer, everyone had to gather to celebrate.

However, before he could finish speaking, Xie Xinyao had already turned her face away and left without looking back.

Some of those who fawned over Xie Xinyao also said, "Senior Cao, then… shall we go eat first?"

Seeing that he could not stop them, Cao Yanhua could only let them leave.

Another group of people left with the attitude of not wanting to offend anyone.

Only a few people were left in the huge laboratory.

Only he and Han Cheng, as well as Xue Zhu and a couple of others, were left in the laboratory.

A little dumbfounded, Cao Yanhua rubbed his temples and endured the embarrassment. He walked up to the girl and coughed. "Well, Qiao Nian, don't take it to heart. They're not ostracizing you. Junior Xie might have some misunderstandings about you, so…"

Xie Xinyao's behavior was too obvious. It was so obvious that Cao Yanhua felt a little embarrassed to explain. He couldn't even continue.

"It doesn't matter." Before he could finish speaking, the girl had already picked up her baseball cap from the experiment table and put it on. Her fair hand was especially eye-catching, but it was not as impactful as her exquisite and eye-catching face under her baseball cap.

Qiao Nian looked at her cell phone casually. "She didn't misunderstand. I got in through the back door."

Cao Yanhua was momentarily distracted before he quickly came back to his senses. He smiled and said, "Han Cheng and I don't have any plans for lunch. Why don't we go together?"

Han Cheng also walked over with a smile. "That's right, little junior. What do you want to eat?"

Qiao Nian saw Ji Nan's message. Before she could reply, she received a call from Ye Wangchuan.

Qiao Nian looked at her cell phone's screen and then said to Cao Yanhua and the rest, "Next time. You guys go ahead. I'll treat you next time.

"I'll see myself out," she said, grabbing her shoulder bag and walking away.
