Chapter 234: Successor of the Institute

That day, the news that Lu Siyin and the other two had created another O Prize record for China spread like wildfire throughout the academic community.

Among them, Lu Siyin's contribution and performance amazed everyone!

The Office of the Dean of the Institute of Materials, Peking University

Ma Bohang opened the door of the office in a hurry, and rushed out without even having time to put on his coat.

The assistant trotted after him, and couldn't help but be surprised. He had never seen the dean so anxious before. What happened?

The scene in the room when the dean opened the door flashed in his mind. The computer was on, and a page stayed on it. It was a little familiar.

By the way, these few days are the time for the World Materials Innovation Competition.

Could it be that...something has happened?

Ma Bohang was almost gone in the blink of an eye. Even the assistant, who was several decades younger than him, had a hard time catching up with him. You can imagine how anxious the dean was.

"Dean, dean," the assistant followed him, panting and begging, "Where are we going?"

Ma Bohang kept walking and said in a swift voice, "Looking for the principal!"

"Ah," the assistant was a little confused.

...

A few sparrows rested on the branches of the trees with the ocean-like sky on their backs. Their dark gray feathers were blown into a mess by the wind. They lowered their heads and raised their feet to comb their feathers. When they found nothing, they flew away cursing.

Lu Jingshu came out of the library and walked a few steps along the "Rainbow Stairs" in front of the door. The birds were chirping noisily, just like Lu Siyin.

Her cell phone suddenly began to vibrate. She took it out from her pocket while walking, lowered her eyes to take a look, answered it and put it to her ear: "Hello! Teacher!"

Principal Gu smiled: "Jingshu, are you in school?"

Lu Jingshu: "Well, what's wrong?"

An anxious and urgent voice suddenly appeared on the other end of the phone: "Mr. Gu, why are you talking so much nonsense? Let me talk! Give me the phone."

Lu Jingshu immediately recognized that it was Ma Bohang's voice.

The Dean of the School of Materials Science and Engineering of Peking University!

President Gu did not give him the phone and said disdainfully: "Don't worry. What's wrong with me chatting with Jingshu first?"

Ma Bohang was so anxious that he almost exploded: "What are you chatting about? Let's talk about business with your student!"

"I know, I know. Don't be so aggressive in front of Jingshu, really."

Lu Jingshu: "..."

President Gu changed his disdainful attitude and smiled at her: "Do you have a sister named Lu Siyin?"

Lu Jingshu paused, looking puzzled, but still replied: "Yes."

"It's like this," Principal Gu said slowly, "Mr. Ma wants to take Lu Siyin as the successor of the institute!"

Ma Bohang quickly grabbed the phone and said to Lu Jingshu, "Jingshu, I want to ask you for a favor. Because I can't contact Lu Siyin now, I want you to help me talk to her about this matter."

Lu Jingshu was shocked, and then she understood.

It seems that Lu Siyin's participation in this competition is very smooth.

Her eyes slightly curved, and after coming back to her senses, she said to Mr. Ma: "Mr. Ma, maybe her cell phone is not with her. I will tell her the truth, but I will not interfere with Siyin's decision."

Ma Bohang: "Okay, that's enough. I will visit her in a few days."

Not only Lu Jingshu, but also Gu Hanlin and the assistant were surprised by this statement.

Mr. Ma actually planned to invite Lu Siyin in person!

He was so fond of her that even the current director of the institute did not have such a big face when he took office.

It seems... this scene has appeared once before.

But the object was the still young Lu Jingshu.

"Ah, I asked you to take over the research institute at that time," Ma Bohang recalled the past, still feeling regretful: "You didn't want to, and instead let old Gu get there first. But God has been kind to me, and I have a child who is as capable as you. Hahaha, you have to lend me a hand this time."

Lu Jingshu said sincerely: "I'll try my best."

Gu Hanlin chatted with Lu Jingshu for a few more words before hanging up the phone. Looking at the old man humming a song in a very good mood, he asked solemnly: "Mr. Ma, have you really decided?"

Ma Bohang's wrinkled face was full of joy: "Of course. I have always been very accurate in judging people. The future of this little girl Lu Siyin is definitely limitless. We have to take advantage of her while she is still young and get her back!"

Gu Hanlin shook his head, but he believed in his words in his heart.

Didn't he also recognize the current director of the institute at first sight?

"Hahaha, that's good now. You and I both have heirs, and we can enjoy a peaceful life in the future!" Gu Hanlin patted his shoulder.

Ma Bohang thought about the wonderful old age life after retirement in the future, and his smile became even bigger.

But...

he sighed and said, "It's not certain whether the girl is willing or not!"

The assistant thought he was joking. Who wouldn't want to take over the institute? This is such a rare opportunity

. Besides, Mr. Ma is going to show up in person. If he is still unwilling, it would be a miracle.

Lu Siyin, who was far away in Country L, didn't know how much trouble she had caused in the country.

At this time, she had just come out of the auditorium and her mobile phone was not even warm.

As soon as she turned it on, countless missed calls and unread messages popped up non-stop.

Lu Siyin didn't even look at it and cleared it with one click. Her finger pointed at Zhou Zipei's phone number.

Just as she was about to call, her phone vibrated. Zhou Zipei seemed to have sensed something and called back at the right time.

Lu Siyin smiled and answered the call without hesitation, her voice full of joy: "Zhou Zipei, I have good news!"

Needless to say, the good news she said has probably spread all over the streets.

But Zhou Zipei seemed to laugh softly and said: "What good news makes me happy."

Lu Siyin jumped on the spot and said: "I won the O award!!!"

"Wow," Zhou Zipei seemed surprised and said: "So amazing!"

Lu Siyin: "Of course, hahaha."

Zhou Zipei: "Who got the chance to marry such a smart and outstanding girl?"

Lu Siyin: "..."

"Oh, it seems to be me!" Zhou Zipei said proudly.

Lu Siyin looked up at the sky in silence. Why did she feel that she was the one who won the award, but he was the one who pretended?

"Sure enough, a man stays young until he dies! Zhou Zipei, you are so childish! You are not worthy of my sister Yu."

"Okay," Zhou Zipei said lazily, "Then may I ask, sister Yu, can you come out for a while?"

Lu Siyin was stunned and said in surprise, "You are in Country L."

Zhou Zipei hummed lazily and said with a smile, "To be honest, it's quite hot outside."

Lu Siyin said anxiously, "Wait for me, I'll go out right away."

"Okay."

Lu Siyin hung up the phone and ran out in a hurry. He hurriedly said to Jin Zijun, "Tell the dean, I'm leaving first, see you in China."

Before Jin Zijun could react, he felt a gust of wind blowing past, and there was no trace of her in front of him.

What's the matter that makes you so

anxious? He scratched his head in confusion and planned to go and talk to the dean.

As soon as he looked up, he met Xie Ruiliang's eyes. He lowered his head and slumped his shoulders. There was no trace of the demeanor he had not long ago. He looked depressed like a chicken in the soup.

Ha...

Jin Zijun looked away as if nothing had happened. He sneered in his heart and felt extremely refreshed.

When passing by Xie Ruiliang, he vaguely heard an inaudible sound.

"I'm sorry,"

Jin Zijun stopped and said in a cold voice: "You shouldn't say this to me."

Lu Siyin is the one you should apologize to!

Xie Ruiliang's body stiffened, and he pursed his lips tightly without saying anything.

Jin Zijun ignored him and walked away without hesitation.
