The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress novel Chapter 607

Chapter 607: 236 Little Junior Sister, Birthday Guest _2

Atop her head was a simple and old-fashioned wooden hairpin.

Her fair skin was bathed in sunlight, creating a distinctly luminous effect.

Both her temperament and appearance stood out notably.

Just when the assistant was wondering if she might be a celebrity, the girl stopped in front of him. With her long eyelashes casting a shadow, she politely asked, “Are you the assistant to Academician Ma?”

“Ah… yes, I am,” the sunlight was blinding, and the assistant, overwhelmed by her stunning face, came back to his senses and turned to lead Bai Lian upstairs, “Academician Ma is waiting for you on the 11th floor.”

The 11th floor.

...

Academician Ma poured Bai Lian a cup of water using a disposable cup. His computer was on, and Bai Lian, sitting in front of his computer, was opening a file, “This is the team’s new research proposal, adjusting the global entanglement gate.”

Bai Lian’s interest piqued instantly, and she raised her languid brows slightly, “Quantum benchmark testing?”

She understood immediately.

No one dislikes a clever student. Academician Ma stood beside her, took a sip of water, and said, “Right, the team’s work. The paper will be published next week, I’ll send it to you then.”

“Are you going to test for the Tongfeng class?” he suddenly remembered something.

“Yes.”

Bai Lian nodded as she looked at the file.

After placing down his disposable cup, Academician Ma felt considerably cheered and told the assistant to take over the class for him. Then he spoke in a gentle tone, “Take your time, there’s no rush. I will take you down to the lab this afternoon to have a look; if there’s anything you don’t understand, just ask.”

The assistant, who had been listening to their conversation, finally let out a breath and cast a deep glance at Bai Lian.

Lunchtime.

In the institute’s cafeteria, someone holding chopsticks asked Academician Ma’s assistant, “Teacher Yun, why did Academician Ma suddenly come to the institute today?”

The current quantum trio was the center of attention, with many people keeping tabs on their movements.

Assistant Yun, holding his own meal plate, thought to himself—

What’s this? He’s going to the Tongfeng class to teach undergraduate new students about topological physics later; that news is even more explosive.

There are only so many on Academician Ma’s team, and he only mentors a few students, each a titan in their field. The last person he mentored was Director Huang. Assistant Yun knew that the scientific community in China didn’t lack talent; it lacked first-rate top-notch talent.

Academician Ma had always preferred to lack for quality rather than compromise for quantity. He hadn’t taken on any students in recent years, leading most to assume he wouldn’t take on any more disciples.

If he really were to take on another student at this time, that would mean—

A little junior sister to a group of titans.

He could already feel the immense pressure in advance.

August 7th.

Jiangjing Mingfeng Airport.

The flight from Beicheng landed, and Director Chen, along with Ji Heng, got off the plane. He took Ji Heng to the baggage claim area and, while waiting for Ji Heng’s luggage, asked, “Uncle Ji, are you going fishing tomorrow? I haven’t seen Brother Ji in a long time, and I wonder if he’s been busy lately.”

Director Chen had been busy with the handover in Xiangcheng and preparing election materials in Jiangjing; he hardly had any spare time.

Thus, his fishing outings with Ji Heng were scarce.

Now that he had just returned to Jiangjing and was not busy, he planned to invite Ji Shaojun and Ji Heng to go fishing.

Ji Heng still had his tobacco pipe in hand.

He had a strong addiction to smoking but refrained from lighting up in the airport, as he didn’t have a lighter on him. His gaze was fixed on the luggage carousel, “I can’t tomorrow, it’s Alian’s birthday. Let’s go in a couple of days.”

Ji Heng had timed his visit to arrive in Jiangjing the day before Bai Lian’s birthday.

“Bai Miss has a birthday tomorrow?” Director Chen just learned about this.

He pondered what gift to prepare for Bai Lian, considering the tight schedule.

Ji Heng hadn’t told Bai Lian about his trip to Jiangjing.

In the parking lot, Ji Shaojun and Shen Qing came to pick up Ji Heng. In the car, Ji Shaojun discussed with Ji Heng about Bai Lian’s birthday, “Xiaohan is also in Jiangjing now, it’ll be lively with classmates around.”
