The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress-Chapter 429 - : Unusually talented individual_4 takes the 168th preliminary exam
Chapter 429: Unusually talented individual_4 takes the 168th preliminary exam
Lu Lingxi had scolded her more than once.
After over two hours of exams, Bai Lian was still the first to finish physics, then biology, and finally chemistry.
It had been more than a month since the final exams, and she worked on chemistry and biology every day. Because of these two subjects, she hadn’t even done the questions on the Jiangjing app.
So much so that when Tang Ming and Ning Xiao didn’t know how to solve a problem, they would ask Jiang Fulai, who disdained them several times.
The exam ended at eleven-thirty, but Bai Lian handed in her paper at eleven.
The other people in the examination room were quite numb to this.
Most teachers at Xiangcheng No.1 knew that Bai Lian was not very good at chemistry and biology. As soon as she handed in her paper, two teachers went to look at her answer sheet but couldn’t make heads or tails of it.
Because one was the English teacher, and the other was the math teacher.
Outside the gates of Xiangcheng No.1, a sapphire blue car was already waiting at the corner.
When Bai Lian opened the car door, he seemed surprised, tilting his head slightly, his pale complexion even more prominent under the sunlight, “So early?”
“The questions weren’t difficult. I finished all I could do.” The questions this time were provided by Xiangcheng No.1 themselves and weren’t half as difficult as the joint exam, making it easier for Bai Lian to handle.
Jiang Fulai’s slender fingers rested on the steering wheel as he started the car and headed towards their residence.
Today happened to be a day off. Ji Heng had gone fishing with Director Chen, and Chi Yundai wasn’t around either.
So Jiang Fulai decided to take Bai Lian out for a meal.
Bai Lian lazily rested her hand on the car window, looking down at the messages on her phone.
Academician Ma: “145 days”
Academician Ma: “[File]”
The file contained some papers Academician Ma had selected for Bai Lian. They were all quantum mechanics papers worth reading and were suitable for beginners, mainly for vocabulary building.
She leaned back and said, “Academician Ma sent me some new papers.”
Jiang Fulai drove at a steady pace onto the main road, “Send them to me.”
**
Jiang Fulai’s residence.
When the two of them arrived, Xu Nanjing had just woken up not long ago, and lazily yawned asking someone to brew a pot of tea for him.
Xiao Bingwen had been waiting on the sofa for Xu Nanjing for quite some time.
Seeing the two return, Xiao Bingwen stood up with much restraint, “Young Master Jiang.”
He wasn’t like Xu Nanjing and naturally did not dare to call Jiang Fulai brother.
Jiang Fulai placed the keys casually to one side and nodded slightly towards him.
“Sister Bai Lian,” Xu Nanjing took a sip of tea and greeted Bai Lian, “Didn’t you go to the library today?”
Bai Lian saw Jiang He playing with Lego on the carpet beside the sofa. She walked over, sat next to him, helped him with the instructions, and handed him a Lego piece, “I just finished an exam.”
She was wearing a long skirt with two pens stuffed into her oversized pockets.
Xu Nanjing also found it strange. It seemed as if Bai Lian could anticipate Jiang He’s next move; she handed him exactly the Lego piece he needed.
“Ah…” Seeing her empty hands, Xu Nanjing was especially surprised when she mentioned she had just finished an exam.
“Brother Jiang,” Xu Nanjing suddenly remembered the matter concerning Xiao Bingwen and spoke to Jiang Fulai, “Do you have any contact with Professor Huang?”
He glanced at Xiao Bingwen.
Jiang Fulai bent down, handed two scattered Lego pieces to Bai Lian, his expression faint, “Are you afraid Academician Ma won’t find a reason for letting me study quantum mechanics?”
Xu Nanjing laughed, nearly forgetting about that.
Jiang Fulai went upstairs to the study to print the papers Academician Ma had sent for Bai Lian.
After he left, Xiao Bingwen finally let out a sigh of relief.
Watching Bai Lian play Lego with Jiang He, Xu Nanjing said to Xiao Bingwen, “Don’t take these researchers for fools. For Professor Huang’s situation, think of some other solution. Or you could wait a few more years until He Wen has results, and then claim him under your company’s name. That’s not impossible either.”
The few notable figures in Jiangjing’s scientific research community were well known.
Xiao Bingwen took out a cigarette pack from his pocket with much concern, “He Wen is still far from ready.”
“There’s also Liang Wuyu,” Xu Nanjing glanced at him and smiled, “You could try to compete with the Chen family for him. In the future… he won’t be inferior to He Wen.”
Xiao Bingwen nodded; several families were competing for these seed players. Liang Wuyu was valued by the Chen family early on and had started working in labs since high school. Aside from him, there were no other outstanding students in the past two years.
“Liang Wuyu is also a senior, taking the college entrance exam with you. Like He Wen, a rare talent seen once in a decade. The Jiangjing app…” Xu Nanjing started, but recalling Bai Lian beside him didn’t want to leave her out, he explained the situation, “Never mind, you might not know about it.”
One needed to meet certain criteria to use the Jiangjing app.
Bai Lian handed the missing Lego piece to Jiang He, and when she heard Xu Nanjing speaking to her, she lazily turned her head to glance at him, “Is that so?”
She continued to leisurely pick Legos for Jiang He.
Xu Nanjing continued, “Professor Huang is a professor at Jiangjing University, also a student of Academician Ma; they both are pillars of Chang’an District. That laboratory underground at Jiangjing University, it belongs to Academician Ma. But, Academician Ma has a special status; ordinary people can’t meet him, so if you, Xiao, really can’t find anyone…”
Xiao Bingwen looked at Xu Nanjing, wondering if it was okay to casually discuss Academician Ma’s information.
He watched Bai Lian slowly playing with the Lego, then reassured himself. Even Academician Ma was beyond his reach, so how could ordinary people understand his significance?
