As Ruby and Dr. Moore had just exited the Institute, they saw Levi, who was leaning against the front of the car, looking down at his mobile phone.
Ruby looked at him with some dismay and walked over with Dr. Moore: "What brings you here?"
Levi stuffed his phone into his pocket and greeted Dr. Moore before looking at Ruby, “To pick you up."
"Pick me up?" Ruby reached out and pointed at herself in confusion.
"Yes, Jared told me about the reagents you've researched, and I think that you should be out around this time, so I wait for you here. Get in and I will take you somewhere." Levi nodded and went around to the passenger seat, pulling the door open for Ruby.
"I was just planning to go to dinner with Dr. Moore." Ruby was speechless as she went over and sat in the car before she spoke to Levi.
"It's fine, when is Dr. Moore going? I'll drop you off and treat you to dinner some other time." Levi turned his head and smiled at Dr. Moore.
Dr. Moore waved his hand, "Forget it, I won't bother you young people with your romance, I'll just go back by myself, no worries."
"Then I'll treat you to dinner with Ruby another day." Levi nodded in response, then got into the car and prepared to drive away.
Only then did Preston stumble and run out of the Institute with his men, shouting loudly as he ran, "Dr. Moore! Dr. Moore, wait, wait-"
With a cold face, and without bothering to look at Preston, Dr. Moore walked slowly towards the junction.
Levi subconsciously glanced at Ruby.
"Drive, aren't you going to take me somewhere?" Ruby leaned back lazily, her eyes lazy with a bit of carelessness.
Levi hooked his lips and smiled, stepped on the accelerator and started the car.
Looking at the car in front of him, Preston's face was full of despair and he hurriedly caught up with Dr. Moore: "Dr.
Moore, Dr. Moore, just now it was all my fault, it was my fault, I was an asshole, I was too eager to get things done. You must not take it personally with me, the institute cannot close down! Also, can you put in a good word for me with that Miss Harold just now? It's best if you can introduce her to me."
"You're talking to me?" Dr. Moore raised his eyes lazily to Preston in front of him.
Preston looked at him with a pleasing expression, his eyes tinged with anticipation.
"Sorry, no time, I'm going on holiday. Please move over, you're in my way." Dr. Moore reached out, pushed Preston, who was in front of him, out of the way, and left without looking back in stride.
Cold sweat ran down Preston's forehead as he looked at Dr. Moore's back, anxious and helpless.
He had a mind to go after them, but he was afraid that he would anger Dr. Moore again and then there would really be no hope at all.
The news of the closure of the First Research Institute soon reached the capital, and the Capital Research Institute was so angry that they scolded Preston and immediately arranged for someone to come to Sea City, hoping to have a new dialogue with Dr. Moore. This time they came with great sincerity. If Ruby could agree to join the Capital Research Institute, their status would leap to become the real number one research institute in the country!
"Is this where you brought me?" Ruby looked at the sea of flowers in front of her and turned her head in confusion to look at Levi.
