Chapter 260: 250: Miss Xiu's Family Takes the Boss to Fly [1 Update]
Chapter 260: Chapter 250: Miss Xiu’s Family Takes the Boss to Fly [1 Update]
His expression was very serious, “Feng Yue, Teng Yunmeng, are you sure you want to change groups?”
“Actually, we never really intended to switch,” Feng Yue sighed, “It’s Teacher Mong, she said Ying Zijin’s grades aren’t real and asked us to switch. We couldn’t stand up to her, so we came.”
Teacher Mong was the other teacher from Imperial Capital University Affiliated Middle School who had reviewed Ying Zijin’s grades with Teacher Mo yesterday.
It was only then that Zuo Li remembered, Ying Zijin’s past grades really were unworthy of mention.
So it was understandable that Teacher Mong thought this way, since she hadn’t had any contact with Ying Zijin.
“Changing groups is a bit troublesome, because the professor has already made the assignments,” Zuo Li pondered for a moment, “How about this, wait until Ying Zijin arrives and discuss it with her.”
“Forget it, let’s not switch,” Teng Yunmeng shook her head, “Teacher Mong hasn’t even seen Ying Zijin, and it’s just her own opinion. Even if Ying Zijin’s grades really aren’t up to par, the two of us can support her.”
“It’s also not good for her to change groups at this time.”
Even if they didn’t truly believe that Ying Zijin would hold them back, this action in the eyes of others would be taken as such.
Feng Yue patted his chest, “Right, we’ll support her.”
If they went back later and Teacher Mong asked, they would just say they begged Zuo Li for a long time but still couldn’t switch.
They couldn’t be blamed for that.
He was really clever.
Zuo Li suddenly sneezed, rubbing his nose and muttering, “Who’s cursing me.”
Feng Yue quickly restrained his expression so Zuo Li wouldn’t notice anything.
Zuo Li wasn’t bothered, he cleared his throat and his expression grew more serious, “Then make sure you take good care of her.”
“It’s truly a trouble for Professor Zuo,” Teng Yunmeng nodded, “We’ll head back now.”
Zuo Li waved his hand, indicating they could do as they wished.
After they left, he took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Ying Zijin.
[Have you arrived at the training camp yet?]
It wasn’t until ten minutes later that he got a reply.
[Just entered the apartment.]
Since there were only 12 students attending the training, Imperial Capital University had prepared the best rooms.
Each person had their own room, complete with an en-suite bathroom and a kitchen, comparable to a five-star hotel.
There was even a large open-air garden on the roof of the apartment building.
[I just remembered, there’s something that perplexes me. You said you didn’t want to be a professor at Imperial Capital University because it’s tiring, but isn’t ISC also tiring? Why did you come?]
Zuo Li had personally witnessed the public Q&A at Verdant, and even after several months, it left a deep impression on him.
If anyone from Hua Country could take the lead in the ISC international finals, it would be none other than Ying Zijin.
In his view, the difficulty level of ISC was high, but still far from the levels of the real giants in the academic world, since it was designed for high school students.
Yet, the whole ISC process was over eight months long and truly troublesome.
[Because the principal is almost out of hair.]
[???]
But Zuo Li understood.
It was because the principal of Verdant Middle School had requested it that Ying Zijin had come.
He couldn’t help but send another message.
[To be honest, I’m almost out of hair too. You know how this field of physics can lead to hair loss. Can you consider joining Imperial Capital University on account of my balding head?]
Zuo Li was really afraid that the prospect they had their eyes on would get snatched away once again by Norton University.
After Wen Tinglan went to Norton University last month, the Admissions Department was so angry they were lashing out at everyone; he got an earful as well.
[I have this hair growth shampoo here, normal price is 188. Professor Zuo, we’ve known each other for a while, so it’s buy one get one free. If it’s ineffective within seven days, you can also apply for a refund.]
[???]
Zuo Li felt that chatting with Ying Zijin was becoming somewhat difficult.
Instead of talking to an academic giant, he felt like he was dealing with a Taobao customer service representative.
He replied wearily.
[All right, I won’t disturb you any further, get some rest early.]
After sending that message, Zuo Li sat in front of his computer and continued working on a physics problem.
After finishing, he couldn’t resist picking up his phone again.
[Buy one get one free, that’s 940 for ten bottles, right?]
[[Red packet]]
**
Inside the apartment.
After receiving the red packet, Ying Zijin sent Zuo Li’s name and address to Shao Ren Hospital.
After all, whether it was hair growth shampoo or kidney deficiency pills, all were produced by Shao Ren Hospital; she was only responsible for providing the prescriptions.
These two products were bestsellers.
Ying Zijin tied her hair up with a rubber band, ready to take a shower in the bathroom.
The door was knocked at this moment.
She got up and went to open it.
Outside was a girl with a baby face, dressed in the uniform of Imperial Capital University Affiliated Middle School.
Seeing her, the girl was stunned for a moment.
Then she stretched out her hand and pinched herself hard, involuntarily gasping in pain.
Even though Teng Yunmeng browsed the internet during her study periods and enjoyed looking at attractive celebrities, although she wasn’t a fan of any.
She had seen many, but none had the impact of the face before her now.
Especially at such close range, face to face, that stunning beauty approached in an overwhelming manner.
It was like heavy cherry blossoms on tree branches, petals falling gently.
Teng Yunmeng stepped back, and after a few seconds, she caught her breath and reached out her hand, “Hello, Ying Zijin, I’m Teng Yunmeng, your team member.”
Ying Zijin shook hands with her and nodded, “Hello.”
“I’m sorry, Ying Zijin,” Teng Yunmeng said with guilt, “You may not know, but we just went to Professor Zuo to ask if we could switch groups. Although it wasn’t our intention, it could have hurt you.”
Ying Zijin nodded slightly, “I understand, my studies weren’t really good before.”@@novelbin@@
She had arrived on Earth seventeen years earlier.
Even though she hadn’t fully regained her consciousness at that time, it was still her.
“But we didn’t switch in the end,” seeing that she didn’t take it to heart, Teng Yunmeng was glad, “The training is for one month, let’s exchange contact information.”
“Sure.”
Ying Zijin opened WeChat and displayed her QR code.
Teng Yunmeng took out her phone to scan it.
Then she found herself on the payment screen, “…”
She looked up, confused, “Classmate Ying, this?”
“Sorry,” Ying Zijin tapped her forehead, “I’m used to it.”
She closed the payment QR code and opened another one.
With a “ding”, they added each other as friends.
“I’m just next door,” Teng Yunmeng said, “You’re from Shanghai City and not very familiar with Imperial Capital. If you need anything, you can ask me directly. Don’t worry, it won’t affect my studies because I really don’t like studying that much.”
It seems that some geniuses have one thing in common; they just pick things up casually.
“You’re too kind,” Ying Zijin returned to her room and took out two boxes from her backpack, “Here, these are for you.”
Teng Yunmeng took them, and screamed, “Aah! This is the whitening mask from Flowery Face, Zijin your hands are so fast!”
“Hmm?” Ying Zijin tilted her head, “What do you mean?”
Flowery Face was a cosmetic company under the banner of Shao Ren Hospital, named after the line of poetry “thoughts of clothes like clouds, thoughts of beauty like flowers.”
“I made a reservation, but I never managed to secure one,” Teng Yunmeng clutched the girl’s hand excitedly, “But this gift is too valuable, I can’t take it.”
As she spoke, she pushed the two boxes of whitening masks back.
“It’s fine, take them,” Ying Zijin said casually, “Didn’t you say you were going to introduce me to Imperial Capital?”
After all, she still had a few boxes in her bedroom.
She just thought they were too heavy to bring.
“No, no, these boxes are expensive,” Teng Yunmeng sent over a red envelope through her phone, “We also have another team member named Feng Yue, he’s at the boys’ dormitory on the other side, and you’ll meet him tomorrow.”
She clenched her fist secretly; she had decided she would properly guide Ying Zijin.
This was the face of their group.
**
Within two days, the other students also arrived one after another.
Out of the twelve people, there were five girls in total.
But apart from Ying Zijin and Teng Yunmeng, the other three girls didn’t secure a spot for the international competition; they were just sent by the school to attend the training.
On the afternoon of the third day, the last girl arrived belatedly.
She was wearing a Burerry T-shirt and Chanel classic lambskin belted shorts.
The sunglasses she sported were Gucci, and the bag she carried was Hermès.
From head to toe, she was draped in luxury brands, so many it was dazzling.
Several people followed behind the girl, one holding an umbrella for her, the other two carrying her luggage.
After placing her luggage outside the dorm, the two left.
“Ah!” Teng Yunmeng stared at the girl’s half-covered face behind the sunglasses for a few seconds, then suddenly said, “I remember now, she is Xiu Yan.”
Ying Zijin didn’t look over, pressing down on the brim of her cap, “I haven’t heard of her.”
“She’s a star who debuted not too long ago, but she’s really popular,” Teng Yunmeng explained, “She was the runner-up in Youth 101, but because she’s the young mistress of the Xiu Family, she’s now the center and the actual team leader has to step aside.”
Hearing these words, Ying Zijin finally turned her head.
“Good, there are people here,” Xiu Yan took off her sunglasses and lifted her chin, “You two, carry my suitcases up.”
What do you think?
