The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress novel Chapter 310

Chapter 310: 119 must be because my physics is not good enough. _2

“I remember it was over four hundred once,” Xu En recalled the first parent-teacher conference Ji Heng had with Bai Lian, “Jiangjing University… might be tough. When you go back, see if the affiliated high school accepts repeat students next year.”

Bai Lian’s current scores were indeed not enough to get into Jiangjing University. The two of them were discussing where to repeat the year next year.

When Yu Guang saw Ji Mulan coming back, Xu En shifted the topic and didn’t mention Bai Lian’s situation in front of her anymore, “How is your exam preparation going? Whose research do you plan to pursue?”

He figured that Ji Mulan must disapprove of the idea of Bai Lian trying to get into Jiangjing University.

Xu Wenyao was in his junior year and didn’t yet qualify for direct recommendation for postgraduate studies. He had only participated in two projects in the physics department and was preparing to take the postgraduate entrance exam next year, “It’s about getting in first.”

“I remember you always talking about the dean of your physics department, Academician Ma,” Xu En said. He didn’t understand physics academia, but he had heard a lot about Academician Ma from Xu Wenyao.

Beside them, Ji Mulan was silently listening to their conversation. She understood physics academia even less than Xu En, and she didn’t know much about Jiangjing University either.

But most people inherently respect scholars.

She was no different, offering a compliment, “Wenyao, you’re so smart, you’ll definitely be able to study under Academician Ma.”

“Do you even know who he is, to apply to his research group?” Xu Wenyao responded to Ji Mulan’s words by shaking his head and sighing, “Auntie, just being able to participate in one of his projects would be a glorious achievement on my resume. His team members are all postdoctoral researchers from Jiangjing.”

Xu En was hearing about this for the first time, “Is it that difficult?”

“Of course, as you also know,” Xu Wenyao said softly, “who is behind Academician Ma…”

Xu En was well aware of this.

The two were speaking in riddles, and Ji Mulan only understood half of it; she didn’t know who was behind this so-called “Academician Ma,” but she understood they were not someone they could aspire to reach, especially since even Xu Wenyao found it difficult to enter Academician Ma’s lab.

This was simply not their circle.

For Ji Mulan, the Xu Family itself was already a circle hard to access, and for someone whom even Xu Wenyao struggled to meet like Dean Ma, that was the stuff of legends.

Out of reach.

The next day.

After school in the afternoon.

Xiaoqi waited at the entrance of No. 1 High School with an effortless grace. His face still youthful at seventeen, he looked more like a high school student than the actual students, despite not wearing a uniform.

“Who is this…” Pu Xiaohan and others were seeing Xiaoqi for the first time.
