The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress - Chapter 355

Chapter 355: 136 College Entrance Exam Top Scorer Betting Pool_2
“The model was created by herself; the whole report is professional in terminology, logical, 99 points.” Amidst the endless reversals, a somewhat numbed professor awarded a high score.

The reason for not giving a full score was because everyone still has room for improvement.

“Thank you, Professor,” Bai Lian bowed in thanks.

With that, the last group of students finished their presentation.

The professors stood up one by one and started to leave the room. The back door was open, but all the professors exited through the front door, nodding and greeting Bai Lian with kindness as they passed her.

This was a student who was able to participate in particle wave modeling as early as high school.

She might very well be the next He Wen.

Once outside, the professors began to discuss quietly among themselves, “Who is she? Why have we never heard of her before? That shouldn’t be the case.”

When He Wen was in high school, he was so exceptional that Jiangjing’s affiliate high school even poached him.

But Bai Lian truly emerged out of nowhere.

“Academician Ma,” Gao Jiachen finally snapped back to reality. He put away his phone and followed Academician Ma out.

All the professors had left.

The classroom was still very quiet; no one made a sound, including Ling Ziyao.

Bai Lian hadn’t brought anything with her today.

She went to her seat, picked up the down jacket on the chair, and slowly put it on. Seeing that Wang Xu and the others still did not react, she gave Ning Xiao a look and then left first.

Once she had left, Wang Xu finally came back to his senses.

He glanced at Pei Qin on his left, then at Tang Ming on his right, “Pei, Pei Qin, Tang Ming, did you guys… did you hear anything just now?”

Wang Xu was grasping Tang Ming’s wrist.

Pei Qin, who usually had a strong mental fortitude, couldn’t help but entertain the same incredulous thoughts as Wang Xu at this moment.

It felt akin to a friend with whom you eat at street stalls suddenly telling you casually one day that she just talked about a partnership with Bill Gates.

“Bai Lian, she… she worked with your idol on a mathematical model, the one we’re using is the very model they collaborated on.”

On the main roadway of Boyuan Base.

Gao Jiachen followed Academician Ma out, “Academician Ma, are you leaving already?”

Seeing that it was him, the professor next to Academician Ma smiled and made room for Gao Jiachen.

“Do you have something to discuss?” Academician Ma stopped.

The majority assumed that Academician Ma had come for Gao Jiachen, Gao Jiachen himself included. He blurted out subconsciously, “Weren’t you here specially for the academic presentation today?”

“Of course not,” Academician Ma slightly furrowed his brows, “I was here to inspect Boyuan Base.”

Upon these words, the gaze that the PhD students next to him cast on Gao Jiachen turned peculiar.

There had been rumors at Jiangjing University before about Academician Ma visiting Boyuan Base twice for Gao Jiachen’s sake.

Gao Jiachen’s face stiffened, and he gave an awkward smile as he stepped aside.

“Professor,” Director Huang followed behind Academician Ma, “Before coming here today, I really thought you had the intention of letting Gao Jiachen enter the lab.”

Academician Ma commented indifferently, “Too superficial.”

Director Huang had to suppress a laugh upon hearing this. In the past two years, Gao Jiachen had been quite prominent, and after returning from studying abroad this year, he had won three awards; his research projects and papers were on two different topics.

Academician Ma came alone to the PR office.

Waiting for Bai Lian.

He didn’t wait long; Bai Lian arrived within ten minutes.

“This is a ticket for tomorrow’s lecture,” Academician Ma handed a ticket to Bai Lian, “One o’clock in the afternoon.”

“Okay,” Bai Lian received it with her hand.

The door of the PR office was open; she stood against the sunlight, her attitude calm and casual.

The academic circle is not friendly to women. Before Bai Lian could command everyone’s respect with her abilities as He Wen had, Academician Ma would not thrust her into the limelight, nor did he wish all her subsequent research to be questioned as having the “Academician Ma” label.

It’s just that there are too many impetuous people in the circle now.

But what he didn’t expect was that Bai Lian, a high school senior, seemed to carry an air of lofty disdain mixed with calm composure.

He had visited Boyuan twice, and the rumors about his coming to see Gao Jiachen were rampant in Jiangjing University, but not a single piece of information had leaked about the person he was truly observing.

She could stand strong on her own without leaning on anyone else’s momentum.

“Have you visited Jiangjing University yet?” Academician Ma, showing a rare warmth, looked at Bai Lian.

Bai Lian looked up, arching an eyebrow, “Not yet.”

“How come you haven’t gone? There are many places worth seeing inside,” Academician Ma was surprised, “Can’t you get in? I can get you a temporary pass.”

“I don’t,” Bai Lian raised her hand in refusal, “I want to get in on my own by passing the exam.”
