Chapter 364: 140 Xu Wenyao’s Opportunity, Bai Lian Invites President Yue _2

Meanwhile.

On the way back to the classroom after eating, Tang Ming couldn’t help sneezing, to which he explained to Ning Xiao, “My mom must be thinking of me.”

Ning Xiao usually wouldn’t respond to that kind of remark.

“Excuse me, excuse me…” Just as they had reached the stairs, Xu Zhiyue, wearing thick glasses and with her forehead hanging low, spoke softly to the two of them, “Do you know where Bai Lian is?”

She twisted her fingers together nervously.

Her voice was so soft that Tang Ming hadn’t heard clearly, but he understood that she was inquiring about Bai Lian.

Tang Ming glanced at her, “She’s out on some business, if you need anything, I can pass on the message.”

“It’s nothing, thank you!” Xu Zhiyue bowed again and hurriedly left with her head down.

Tang Ming was puzzled.

He still wanted to say something.

His phone beeped, and at the same time, Ning Xiao’s lit up.

It was a message from Jiang Fulai, containing only the location of a Science and Technology Museum.

The two of them exchanged a glance and then turned to leave.

Jiang Fulai was signaling them to hurry over.

**

The Science and Technology Museum covered a vast area.

The entire building was shaped like a concave streamline, and from high above, the Science and Technology Museum resembled a semicircular blue crystal, glistening brilliantly.

Bai Lian and Jiang Fulai had arrived first, and they decided to look around the exhibition before heading to the lecture hall when it was time.

The first floor showcased the evolution of science and technology from the modern era to the present, featuring 3D projections and displays about intelligence and co-creation; the second floor was dedicated to the evolution of physics, chemistry, and mathematics; the third floor focused on the universe and aerospace, where Bai Lian even saw a small satellite.

The second basement level.

A crowd had gathered at the entrance.

Most of them were from Jiangjing University. Due to security reasons, the number of tickets was limited, and many without tickets could only gather at the entrance to watch.

They might even encounter a luminary from a certain field.

The museum had anticipated such a scenario and had deployed over a dozen security guards to maintain order on the second basement level.

The lecture was set to begin at two o’clock.

Xu Wenyao arrived early with tickets to secure a good spot.

He handed his ticket to the security check, and the staff member gave him a glance after seeing the blue ticket.

It was only one o’clock, and there were only a few scattered seats left in the lecture hall. Xu Wenyao, carrying a stack of books, found a corner seat, sat down, and began to go through problems with his head bowed.

“Preparing for the graduate school entrance exam?” A voice came from above.

Xu Wenyao looked up and saw a somewhat bald middle-aged man. He was taken aback, “Dean Huang?”

He recognized him as the dean of the Physics College and also the director of Jiangjing University. There was even an introduction to him hanging in the corridor on the first floor of the Physics Teaching Building at Jiangjing University.

“Yes,” Director Huang glanced at the ticket beside Xu Wenyao, “There are few students who can get a ticket.”

“This?” Xu Wenyao looked down at his ticket, his voice softening, “It was given to me by my sister.”

Director Huang seemed thoughtful, “What’s your name?”

“Xu Wenyao.”

“Hmm,” Director Huang narrowed his eyes slightly and recited a string of numbers, “This is my mobile number. If you encounter any problems in your research, you can ask me. I’m also planning to take on a student this year, so work hard, and I hope to see your name on the list.”

He patted Xu Wenyao on the shoulder.

Xu Wenyao was dizzy with surprise, as if luck had literally fallen on his head, “Thank you, Dean Huang!”

He memorized the number.

At the Qi Family.

Madame Xu was speaking with Lady Qi, “Is Shuyun still angry, refusing to come downstairs?”

As Xu Wenyao hadn’t shown up, Madame Xu had to make a personal visit.

Lady Qi sighed, “Shuyun has been pampered by us, she lacks manners, please forgive her, Old Madame.”

“This matter isn’t Shuyun’s fault, Wenyao has trouble prioritizing,” Madame Xu had a very poor impression of the Ji Family; this Ji Mulan hadn’t even married into the Xu Family and already she had disrupted their feng shui, she put her hands together in a prayer-like gesture. “I hope Shuyun can forgive Wenyao.”

Lady Qi gave a slight smile.

Upstairs.

Mr. Qi sat in his study, speaking very calmly to Qi Shuyun, “Don’t worry, Xu Wenyao will come.”

He knew how much the Xu Family needed this opportunity to integrate into the academic circle.

Lectures by Academician Ma attracted many people from abroad to fly to Jiangjing specifically.

The Xu Family had been rising rapidly over the last six months, directly cooperating with the railway and cultural tourism officials. The Qi Family wanted to use this opportunity to sound a warning bell for Xu Wenyao, to show that one doesn’t just enter this circle by wishing to.

Without the Qi Family, the Xu Family really would be helpless.

“I know,” Qi Shuyun said indifferently, sitting aside and sipping her tea.

Both were quite composed at the start.

As time edged closer to two o’clock.

Qi Shuyun was becoming visibly restless, “Dad.”

Mr. Qi also frowned. Although he knew of Ji Mulan, he had never considered the Ji Family a threat, as they were nothing compared to the Qi Family.
