Chapter 99 Black Material
The old man shook his head and sighed, "What a terrible talent!"
"If I had a memory like yours when I was young, I would have learned so much more."
To read the same few pages of a book, he needs several times more time than Lin Xi. Moreover, if he needs to remember something, he must read it repeatedly, at least three times, before he can remember it firmly.
And his memory is already very good.
Alas, comparing yourself with others will only make you angry.
He stared at Lin Xi with a burning gaze, "You're right. Not only did you finish reading the book, but you were also able to accurately summarize it, which means it has become your own."
"Classmate, are you planning to take the postgraduate entrance exam? Or get a doctorate?"
Lin Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Um, teacher, I'm only a freshman, and school just started today."
The old man was unhappy again. "What's wrong with freshman year? Life is so short. Everyone should determine their life goals as early as possible and work hard towards them."
"If you really want to master the subject of archaeology, you wouldn't have enough time in eight lifetimes to learn it thoroughly."
"Chinese history spans 5,000 years, and there are countless historical documents and cultural relics. Even if you only study one era, you will never finish studying it in your lifetime."
He stroked his chin and said, "Well, considering your reading speed and memory, this list is indeed too small."
"I'll write you some more."
The old man wrote with great enthusiasm and swiftness, writing down one book title after another in the notebook.
Seeing that the old man had only turned two pages of the book, Lin Xi quickly said, "Teacher, that's enough. There are so many books, I don't know when I will finish reading them."
The old man ignored her and continued writing.
Lin Xi held his forehead.
The old man wrote five full pages before stopping and pushing the notebook to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi felt overwhelmed when she saw the densely packed words on the paper.
The old man stood up and said, "All the books I wrote are in the library."
"When you finish reading these books, come to me and I will make a new list for you."
Lin Xi hurriedly said to the old man, "Thank you, teacher."
She watched the old man walk away. At this moment, Chen Qianyu suddenly appeared from nowhere and asked, "What did Dean Xu just say to you?"
Lin Xi raised her eyebrows. It turned out that he was Dean Xu from the School of Archaeology!
She pointed at the book and said, "Here, this is the list of books that Dean Xu gave me. Let me take my time to read it."
Chen Qianyu was shocked. "So many? How many years will it take to see this?"
Lin Xi sighed, "That's right. I think my eyes are going to be ruined."
Chen Qianyu took Lin Xi's notebook and asked, "Can I copy down this list of books?"
Lin Xi shook her head, "No."
Chen Qianyu was stunned. She didn't expect Lin Xi to be so difficult to talk to.
Yesterday she thought Lin Xi was generous, gentle and friendly.
Is the competition at Kyoto University so fierce that a book list can lead to the breakdown of friendship?
Lin Xi chuckled, "You're so stupid! Why don't you take a picture with your phone? How long will it take to copy it?"
Dean Xu just wrote for more than a quarter of an hour.
Chen Qianyu laughed and punched her, "Okay, you're teasing me on purpose."
She took out her phone and took pictures of the book list one by one, sighing as she did so. "I'm lucky I was able to finish reading all of these in four years of college."
Lin Xi returned the two books that Dean Xu had pointed out just now, borrowed two more, and took them back to the dormitory.
School has been open for a few days now, and Lin Xi likes this peaceful life very much. She runs, does boxing, attends classes, and reads every day.
Just two days later, Song Huaijin called and said, "I've got everything you wanted. If you don't have time, I'll go talk to Qian Haoming about this."
Lin Xi thought for a moment and said, "I'll go find him myself. I'll get those things from your place after class this afternoon."
Song Huaijin said considerately, "How about I bring it to you this afternoon? I don't feel comfortable handing this thing over to anyone else."
"Around five o'clock, I'll contact you when I get there."
Lin Xi hesitated for a moment, "Okay, thank you."
Song Huaijin was silent for two seconds, "Between us, there's no need to say thank you."
"Whatever I do for you, it's what I should do."
Song Huaijin was very punctual. At five in the afternoon, he sent a message to Lin Xi, "I'll wait for you at the South Gate."
Lin Xi hurried out of the dormitory and headed towards the south gate.
As soon as I walked out of the south gate, a bodyguard in a black suit came over and bowed respectfully, "Ms. Lin, the boss is over here, please follow me."
The two of them had not walked far when the bodyguard opened the door of a car parked on the side of the road and Lin Xi got in.
Song Huaijin sat in the back seat and handed two brown paper bags to Lin Xi.
"Here's some evidence of his company's illegal operations, as well as a murder case he handled earlier. There are originals and copies in there. Just show him the copies."
He pointed to another file bag and said, "Here are the sales data for Fia Beverage Company last year and this year. You can refer to this data for compensation."
Lin Xi took the file bag and said, "Thank you."
She hesitated for a moment and said, "It's almost dinner time. I'll treat you."
Song Huaijin shook his head. "No, I have an appointment tonight."
"How's your school life? Is it interesting?"
Lin Xi nodded vigorously, a smile spreading across her face, and her voice brightened. "I now realize that it was absolutely right to enroll in this major. This subject is very interesting."
“My classmates are all nice, and my roommates are easy to get along with.”
Song Huaijin looked at her with a smile, like a father looking at his daughter, "That's good, enjoy your college life."
Lin Xi waved to him happily, "Then I'll go back to school."
She suddenly lowered her voice and moved closer to Song Huaijin, "I still have my wind ability, but it's a little low. If you need any help, just tell me."
Song Huaijin laughed. Lin Xi now really looked like a little girl, so cute.
He nodded, "Okay, I won't be polite with you, and you too, if you have any problems in the future just come to me, don't be polite with me."
Lin Xi smiled and nodded, opened the car door and got out.
Song Huaijin watched Lin Xi's back as she walked away, and he once again felt that his decision was correct.
He could feel Lin Xi's ease and happiness. How wonderful! This was how an eighteen-year-old girl should be.
And he only needs to silently protect her happiness.
Lin Xi did not return to the dormitory, but returned to the house near Peking University. She opened the file bag and read it, then put the original away and kept the copy in the file bag.
She looked at Fia's sales data again and had an idea.
Lin Xi glanced at the personal phone number of Fia President Qian Haoming on the document, took one of the pages of evidence, took a photo, and sent the photo over.
Then she sent Li Xiaoqiu a message, "I have something to do and won't be back to school for dinner."
Li Xiaoqiu replied immediately, "Okay."
Then the phone dinged again. It was Qian Haoming who sent the message, "Who are you and what do you want?"
