When it comes to signatures, Xiao Qi gets even more excited: "My little things about my neighbors, my little things about my daughter-in-law, my little things about my mom... and so on and so forth. My book has it all. You won't be cheated or fooled..."
You know what, Lin Yanbai... I really want to see it!
Putting aside other things, just Xiaoqi's gossip radar positioning, she... really admires him.
Ahem, seeing that the topic was getting more and more off-topic and Xiaoqi seemed to be talking endlessly, Lin Yanbai quickly brought him back to the right track.
"Okay, okay, I support you in pursuing your dream, but now that your host is in trouble, shouldn't you lend a helping hand?"
Xiao Qi didn't dare to refuse again. The main reason was that the host was really scary when she got angry. If he really made her angry, she would report him. In the end, Xingchen Hai would not be able to catch up with him, but would get punished instead. That would not be worth it.
With Xiaoqi helping to keep an eye on Wu Liya, Lin Yanbai could feel a little more at ease.
Under Feng Xingyao's guidance, Lin Yanbai wrote an academic paper and submitted it to a foreign journal. In it, she briefly discussed the development of China's economy and incorporated some of her own views.
She dared to guarantee that, unless something unexpected happened, her paper would be accepted.
She had done her homework beforehand. This foreign journal did not discriminate based on race or country. All it cared about was the quality of the papers.
As a person who has witnessed the rise of China in later generations, her economic thinking is definitely ahead of the times, so she is very confident.
Sure enough, a month later, she received a reply saying that her paper had been included and would be published in a journal soon, and asked her to continue paying attention.
Although she already had a premonition in her heart, Yan Bai was undeniably happy when she received the confirmed news. This was an affirmation of her ability.
Unexpectedly, it was this incident that made Wu Liya unable to bear it any longer.
Her father, Wu Hongqi, is a professor at the School of Foreign Affairs, so he is naturally more sensitive to some of the developments in the academic world than others.
As soon as Lin Yanbai's paper was included, he received the news. He knew about it, and naturally, Wu Liya also knew about it.
Wu Liya was almost furious. She knew that even her father had only a few of his papers accepted by this journal.
But what right did she have to defeat Lin Yanbai? Wu Liya was not convinced. If she admitted defeat, wouldn’t that mean she was admitting that she was not as good as Lin Yanbai?
So, despite her tutor's dissuasion, Wu Liya worked closely with her father Wu Hongqi day and night to produce five articles, intending to win by quantity.
In order to pave the way for his daughter, even though most of these five papers were completed by Wu Hongqi, he did not sign his name on them. Instead, he tacitly acknowledged that these were Wu Liya's achievements!
However, after sending out five articles, all of them fell into oblivion. Two months passed without receiving a single reply. Wu Liya was so angry that she almost smashed her house!
Seeing his daughter's eyes red with anger, Wu Hongqi was helpless. He advised Wu Liya to submit to other journals. Although the authority might be greatly reduced, it was better than nothing!
Although Wu Liya was unwilling, she still did as she was told, and this time three of her articles were selected.
But Wu Liya was not very happy. Instead, she was thinking, even her father's level was looked down upon by others, so how come Lin Yanbai just submitted an article and got accepted?
After much thought, Wu Liya felt that there was only one explanation for this matter, that is, the paper was not written by her at all, but must have been written by Feng Xingyao for her.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case, and her heart was filled with disdain for Lin Yanbai: Bah, what kind of person is this? For his own fame and fortune, he would actually lie to others, so shameless!
Lin Yanbai: ...why don't you take a look at what you are saying!
Apparently, Wu Liya had completely forgotten how she had acquired those three papers. Or perhaps, in her eyes, as long as her name was on them, they were hers.
This probably means, be lenient with yourself and strict with others!
At this time, Wu Liya had completely brainwashed herself. She thought, isn't Lin Yanbai just because she has a good master and two good senior brothers? Why?
A wild girl who appeared out of nowhere took away everything that belonged to her.
Wu Hongqi and his daughter are also interesting. They didn't check Lin Yanbai's background at all. They just relied on their personal judgment and concluded that Lin Yanbai was lucky to have hooked up with Feng Xingyao, which is why she has everything she has today.
Wu Liya is even more interesting. She feels that everything Lin Yanbai has today, whether it is a master or senior brothers, or fame and status, should belong to her!
When she saw Lin Yanbai again at school, Wu Liya could no longer maintain her indifferent mask.
Listening to the people around her praising Lin Yanbai, saying things like "Classmate Lin is so pretty" and "Classmate Lin is so amazing", Wu Liya really wanted to spit in their faces.
Finally, she couldn't help it and rushed to Lin Yanbai who was chatting with Gao Ling.
Gao Ling was bewildered. Who was this woman? She was furious, and even looked like she was out to catch someone having an affair.
Lin Yanbai looked as if she had expected it. She had said that Wu Liya looked like someone she could not tolerate, and now she had finally stopped pretending.
"Lin Yanbai, don't be so proud. Isn't it thanks to Old Feng that you're where you are today? Otherwise, you'd probably be digging dirt in some poor mountain valley right now!"
Lin Yanbai: "...What nonsense are you talking about!"
Lin Yanbai asked herself, no matter how unlucky she was, she wouldn't go digging for fun! It seemed that this woman knew nothing about her.
"I'm telling you, Lin Yanbai, my dad and Old Feng are good friends. You'd better be smart and back out. Don't make a scene and end up getting kicked out. That would be really embarrassing!"
Gao Ling finally realized that this woman was really here to pick a fight. She couldn't stand it anymore: "What are you arguing about? Who do you think you are? The Jade Emperor? If you can't speak, don't speak. You look so dead!"
"You..." When it comes to quarreling, she really can't beat Gao Ling.
"Wu Liya, since you mentioned your father, I won't be polite. Everyone knows that your father sold out his friends for fame and fortune back then, and he cut ties with us so easily and decisively. Now that Master has been rehabilitated, you're trying to get close again. How could such a good thing happen in this world?
Seeing that the peace talks failed, you still tried to force your daughter over to her, but she refused and you started to hold a grudge against her. You two are really too cunning to plan this, aren't you? Do you really think everyone else is a fool?
Lin Yanbai didn't lower his voice at all, and almost everyone around could hear it clearly. Now everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Wu Liya.
Wow, this is the first time I’ve seen someone so self-righteous and confusing right and wrong!
Wu Liya felt the strange looks from the people around her and was almost going crazy.
