Butler Zhou helped contact the charity staff within the group to establish a foundation in Xia Wenxi's personal name. Afterwards, a dedicated person will be responsible for contacting the recipients of the grants. However, the staff will also send Xia Wenxi the information of the recipients before making a decision.

Xia Wenxi had no objection to this, after all, it's better to leave such matters to professionals for meetings.

Thinking about how, after transmigrating, he was busy studying and doing charity work, and the most outrageous thing he did was order takeout in the middle of the night and ended up in the hospital. He suddenly felt that he had been a little too naive as a rich second-generation.

Before going to bed that night, Xia Wenxi received a call from Xia Wensheng.

"Mom and Dad's flight is the day after tomorrow afternoon. Come with me to pick them up."

"The day after tomorrow afternoon?! How come I didn't know that?"

Xia Wenxi felt inexplicably nervous. She had lived for over twenty years and had hardly ever had a proper relationship with her parents. Besides, she was no longer the Xia Wenxi she used to be. What would happen if her parents found out?

"Butler Zhou told me after he booked the plane tickets, and he didn't disturb you while you were in class."

"Oh, okay."

After Xia Wenxi finished answering, the two fell silent. Although the siblings were no longer like before, with one acting like they were dying and the other glaring at each other, the rift that had formed was not so easy to heal.

Xia Wensheng broke the deadlock first, "Okay, that's settled then, I'm hanging up."

Xia Wenxi's original plan was to go to the school tomorrow to arrange a time with her advisor to discuss her thesis. Now she was glad that she hadn't scheduled the meeting for the day after tomorrow, otherwise there would have been a conflict.

After thinking about it, she sent a message in the dormitory group to tell her roommates that she was going back to school the next day.

Xia Wenxi: [I need to go back to school tomorrow morning, but I can't find my dorm key. Will you guys be there tomorrow? Around 10 o'clock.]

Almost all the college students were still awake at this hour, and Xia Wenxi quickly received a reply.

Jin Wenyao: [Okay, I'll be in the dorm tomorrow.]

Xia Wenxi: [OK]

Xia Wenxi had arranged to meet her teacher at 10 a.m. because even with Assistant Feng's help, she was still the one writing the paper. So, Xia Wenxi went to tell her teacher that the time to show her the first draft might be a little late, and she should also apologize to her teacher.

If all else fails, delaying graduation is the only option.

Xia Wenxi had also mentioned her idea to Assistant Feng, during a casual chat after class. She never expected that what she told Assistant Feng would be reported to Xia Wensheng.

When Xia Wensheng found out, he was indeed impressed that Xia Wenxi had become much more sensible recently. However, he simply thought that his younger sister's long rebellious phase had finally passed and didn't think too much about it.

——

"Professor Zou, I'm so sorry. I was sick for a while, which delayed my thesis work. I'm only contacting you now, and I apologize for that."

Xia Wenxi told a little white lie. She mentally tapped a wooden fish and comforted herself, telling herself it was okay, that it was just artistic embellishment.

"Professor Zou, I will write the first draft for you as soon as possible. Please take a look. This is my paper's outline and general framework."

This was, of course, something Xia Wenxi had put together with the help of Assistant Feng. There was no first draft; she had to produce something for her teacher to see first.

Teacher Zou was initially quite angry because the student hadn't submitted the first draft or contacted her, and she had to take the initiative to inquire about the student's situation. However, after seeing Xia Wenxi's sincere demeanor and the things she handed over, her anger subsided considerably.

Xia Wenxi smiled and said, "Teacher Zou, I will definitely write a first draft as soon as possible."

Xia Wenxi was quiet and pretty, with a fair oval face and her eyes crinkled when she smiled. Teacher Zou's daughter was about the same age, and seeing her like this, she couldn't bear to say anything.

"I've looked at your framework, and the ideas are quite good. Just finish writing the paper as soon as possible so as not to delay your defense."

"Thank you, teacher!"

"Okay, then you can go back now."

Xia Wenxi was completely unfamiliar with the school and had to ask several people along the way before she could find out where her dormitory was.

After finding her room, 319, Xia Wenxi knocked on the door.

Soon a woman's voice came out, "The door isn't locked."

"Xia Wenxi, you're here?"

The short-haired girl was very enthusiastic when she saw her, and even came over to help her carry the things she was carrying.

"Thank you. Are you the only one in the dorm?"

She has three roommates, but she can't tell who's who right now.

"Yes, Jiayi and Mengmeng are both at the library, but it's already noon, they'll be back soon."

Xia Wenxi now recognized the short-haired girl in front of her as Jin Wenyao.

The dormitory room has a bunk bed and a desk underneath, and Xia Wenxi's bed is the one on the left side, towards the inside.

There are still bedding on her bed, but they are not unfolded. There are a few books and a cup on the table. It looks empty, but both the table and the chair are quite clean.

Xia Wenxi didn't know anyone and felt quite awkward staying there, so she decided to put her things down and leave.

"Wenyao, I put my internship report in the drawer. Could you please hand it in with me when you hand it in?"

Oh, and these two bags contain some snacks I brought from home, like chocolates. You can share them when they get back.

"Are you leaving? I was just about to tell you, your arrival at school today is quite timely!"

"Huh? Why?"

"There's a lecture at the college this afternoon, and the speaker is said to be an outstanding alumnus of our school! I even took a picture of the poster."
