The remaining palladium weighs about 70 jin.
Each piece is the same size, with a silver-white metallic surface, and each has the periodic table form etched onto it.
At this moment, he saw the letters ‘Pa’.
He didn’t realize which element it was, only looking at the numbers 46, 106.42, and guessing it to be a metal from the periodic table.
They were laid out very neatly.
Xu Nanjing reached out and took a piece in his hand, playing with it as he read the word etched below: “palladium, guardian deity?”
The mirror-like reflection made Pu Xiaohan turn her head and squint, recognizing the two letters: “This is palladium.”

Palladium?
Xu Nanjing and Ming Dongheng had special training in high school. From the first to the third year, after muddling through, he finally broke free from those studies and dove headfirst into the financial industry in college with Jiang Xijue, keeping away from physics and chemistry.
He had long left behind satellite angular velocity periods and these chemical elements in his memory.
Under the Xu Family, multiple industries were covered, the most important being heavy industry involvement with Zhongxing Group, which included several state-level labs, and Xu Nanjing had been negotiating material resources with exporters from various countries over the last two years.
“Palladium” sounded vaguely familiar in his ears, but not as familiar as “uranium.”
What did Bai Lian want so much metal for?
Xu Nanjing closed the lid, somewhat puzzled.
Ming Dongheng came down from upstairs, placing the fruit Ji Heng had asked him to bring on the table.
Seeing the paper box that was unwrapped in the middle of the hall, he bent down and deftly moved it outside.
“Xiaoming, it’s a bit heav—” Xu Nanjing stood in front of the box, and as he saw Ming Dongheng moving it, he barely got out the letter for “heavy.”
Ming Dongheng then bent down and picked up the paper box as if it were a feather in his hands.
He seemed even more effortless than the young man at the front door earlier.
Xu Nanjing: “…”
He was silent for a moment, then took two steps back and called for Pu Xiaohan to go upstairs to look at the newly decorated rooms.
Influenced by Bai Lian over the past six months, Xu Nanjing chose a Chinese-style decor. The pure white ceiling of the great hall featured wooden beams, and the mahogany corner flowers were simple and elegant. The restraint and quality of Chinese-style were fully highlighted.
She turned around in a circle, then turned back to ask Xu Nanjing, “Big Brother, can I come over next time to get some materials?”
“Sure, Xiaohan, come anytime,” Xu Nanjing said with his hand in his pocket, casually observing the decor, “the code is 6666.”
Everybody called each other what they pleased; after all, it didn’t matter much for seniority.

The postgraduate entrance exams had ended.
After New Year’s Day, Jiang University started final exams, and every day by five o’clock, there were people lining up outside the library.
The Tongfeng class had their final major exams too.
Bai Lian and Ning Xiao mainly stayed in the lab, and the deadline given by the general headquarters to Zhou Wenqing was also approaching, with the final date set for January 13th.
Ever since Bai Lian enrolled, there had been much discussion about her in the school.
Recently, Zhou Wenqing’s lab had been in the spotlight, and it was uncertain whether Bai Lian’s group would achieve any results. Meanwhile, Gao Yuan’s group had produced a paper, participated in the campus competition, whereas it seemed like Bai Lian’s group had collectively turned invisible.
The attitudes within the school varied.
Some speculated that the recent finals were just too challenging. Bai Lian had taken many leaves before this, so now she was furiously revising to deal with the final exams.
There was even a dedicated forum thread discussing this semester’s finals on the University City Forum.
On the 10th, in the morning, the Tongfeng class had their topology exam.
Dean Huang always thought that after Jiang Fulai took a stand, the general headquarters would exercise some restraint and withdraw the compulsory assignment given to Zhou Wenqing.
Yet, to his surprise, after so many days, there was still silence from both the school and the general headquarters.
Unable to find Zhou Wenqing, Dean Huang took the Tongfeng class exam schedule and waited for Bai Lian by the lecture hall.
This time, the exam for the Tongfeng class was on topology, taught by Academician Ma.
He arrived on time, waiting at the doorway for Bai Lian.
“Dean Huang.”
The students from the Tongfeng class, upon seeing Dean Huang at the back door, were somewhat shocked, but then greeted him with surprise and delight, Gao Yuan especially so.
“How did everyone find the exam?” smiled Dean Huang as he greeted them.
“It was so hard, Dean, we didn’t even finish,” Tang Ming and Ning Xiao, trailing at the end, said with gloomy faces.
The others nodded in agreement.
It was normal not to finish an exam personally set by Academician Ma.
Dean Huang wasn’t surprised. The problems his own teacher used to leave him daily were very challenging, and sometimes he would stay up until dawn without being able to solve them.
However, he waited for half the day, and even after Tang Ming and the others had left, Bai Lian still hadn’t come out.
When the teacher who collected the papers had them all organized and sealed in a bag, he came outside only to find Dean Huang standing beside the back door, a bit dazed.
