The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress novel Chapter 863

Chapter 863: 336 plays a trump card_2

At the beginning of the year, he was promoted to vice dean.

His popularity at the School of Physics was second only to Dean Huang.

After being promoted to vice dean, a flurry of companies sought him out, but Zhou Wenqing rejected them all.

Being the vice dean of Jiang University’s Department of Physics was more than just one level higher than an ordinary professor.

In that case, after Dean Huang was promoted to the president of the university, Zhou Wenqing was very likely to take over his position.

Of course, during this period, Zhou Wenqing also needed some achievements and projects.

He couldn’t blindly choose projects.

"Professor Zhou, you should know about the project between Academician Ma and Ning Xiao," Bai Lian sat up straight, not beating around the bush with Zhou Wenqing, and looked up, "The Mu Family’s three research institutes are involved in the machine production, basically starting from scratch, and I would like to invite you to be an honorary professor."

Zhou Wenqing looked at Bai Lian in surprise.

He thought Bai Lian was like Academician Ma and wouldn’t bother with these matters. "Bai student, what is your relationship with the Mu Family?"

Bai Lian merely replied lightly: "My uncle’s family."

"Fine."

Almost as soon as her words fell, Zhou Wenqing blurted out an affirmative "fine".

He inserted the straw into his coffee cup, holding it with both hands, "Bai student, when can we sign the contract?"

Zhou Wenqing was quite eager.

This opportunity was not to be missed, and he was naturally aware of which Tongfeng class Academician Ma was here for; with someone like Bai Lian, it was clear how far she could go in the future, wasn’t it?

This was her uncle’s enterprise, and she had personally brought it up; Zhou Wenqing naturally understood the value of this opportunity.

Bai Lian picked up her phone and asked Ji Shaojun.

They finally settled on two days later.

Zhou Wenqing left with his coffee, brimming with joy.

Chen Beixuan had been waiting outside while the two talked.

She lowered her gaze and sent a message in the group chat.

Chen Beixuan: [Xiaoming hasn’t returned yet, but @Xu Nanjing are you really not intervening in the Mu Family’s matter?]

Having been at the Mu Family the previous night, Chen Beixuan naturally heard what Mu Yining had said.

She also knew what was going on with the Mu Family.

This year’s autumn recruitment indeed posed some difficulties for the Mu Family.

Xu Nanjing: [^-^]

He typed a smiley face.

Seeming secretive, Chen Beixuan raised an eyebrow.

It wasn’t until Zhou Wenqing came out that she put away her phone and went back in.

Inside the break room, Bai Lian reopened her computer.

She glanced at WeChat, where there was still no news from Academician Ma and Jiang Fulai.

She knew this matter must be extremely confidential and was sealed tight, but the lack of news was making her anxious.

Bai Lian paused for a while.

Her fingertips rested on the touchscreen before she looked up, pondering slightly, and discussed with Chen Beixuan, "I don’t need you to protect me; you can go do your own things."

Chen Beixuan shook her head, "Miss Bai, just act as if I’m not here."

With Jiangjing being chaotic recently, if something were to happen to Bai Lian on her watch, she wouldn’t know how to report back.

Bai Lian’s gaze fell on Chen Beixuan’s face, but in the end, she said nothing.

Another day passed.
