Chapter 710 Miss Ying's friend, could she be an ordinary person? [1st update]
The four characters, neither too big nor too small, were just enough to spread throughout the entire laboratory.
The members of Group B were also stunned.
Ye Siqing was a little confused. She stammered, "Junior Sister Ying..."
Having worked on experiments together for so long, Ye Siqing knew that Ying Zijing was very strong-willed.
But she really didn't expect that their junior sister Ying would go straight into a fight with Mo Feng as soon as she returned.
Who is Mo Feng?
The first mentor of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.
Apart from Dean Norman and several vice deans, Mo Feng wielded the most power.
Moreover, where else would a student dare to speak to their professor like that?
Mo Feng's brows furrowed even more tightly.
He had a deep impression of Ying Zijin.
But most of it comes from the girl's stunningly beautiful face.
Since Ying Zijin was admitted to the hospital, the discussion about her at the Chinese Academy of Engineering has never subsided.
That's all.
Mo Feng originally thought that Ying Zijin was the top student in this year's assessment, and that she was good at both academics and practical skills.
But he also came to the lab a few times with Bi'er.
During the few times Mo Feng visited, he either saw Ying Zijing playing on the computer or resting.
The other team members were assembling parts, and I didn't see her lift a finger more than a few times.
The assessment results are always kept confidential; only Dean Norman himself knows them.
However, if the results are excellent, Dean Norman will summon several top mentors, show them the actual results, and ask them if they would accept disciples.
That's how Mo Feng took in Bi'er back then.
However, this time Dean Norman did nothing.
This proves that none of the students in this cohort scored above 85.
"Did you make a move?" Mo Feng's eyes showed a hint of displeasure. "If you did, then we'll all go and receive a lesson together."
"Professor Mo Feng!" Ye Siqing exclaimed anxiously, "Junior Sister Ying didn't do anything. You can check the surveillance footage; she needs to submit her experimental project."
As she spoke, she gave the girl a wink.
"Is that so?" Mo Feng said calmly. "Judging from her behavior, she even questioned me. She doesn't seem like someone who can tolerate this."
“What a coincidence.” Ying Zijin tilted her head slightly. “You don’t look like the top instructor in the engineering academy.”
Mo Feng's expression changed drastically, and his face instantly darkened.
“As a mentor in the School of Engineering, I know that the School of Engineering and the School of Biology and Genetics have a long-standing feud. When something happens, instead of investigating the cause and effect and protecting the students of the School of Engineering, they help the School of Biology and Genetics to punish us.” Ying Zijing’s eyebrows were indifferent and her voice was cold. “You are really a good mentor. Why don’t you go to the School of Biology and Genetics? They should welcome you.”
"..."
The laboratory was completely silent.
The male student paused for a few seconds, then scratched his head: "Senior Sister Ye, this is the first time I've heard Junior Sister Ying speak such a long sentence."
Group A, who had just reached the door, were stunned.
Bi'er was utterly astonished.
After Ying Zijing crippled several senior students from the Institute of Biological Genetics, she knew that Ying Zijing was very bold.
But she never expected Ying Zijing to be this bold.
"Miss Bi'er, she's finished." After the initial shock, Xu Jingshan's eyes turned sinister. "She even dared to lecture Instructor Mo Feng; she'll definitely be expelled!"
Being questioned like this, Mo Feng felt more embarrassed than ever before.
He sneered: "A few students, why should I waste my breath on you? You need to be educated."
"You have slandered the professor. You are suspended from all activities of the Engineering Department and placed under observation!"
He really didn't believe he couldn't handle even a few students.
Where is the mentor's authority?
"Slander?" Ying Zijing crossed her arms and nodded slightly. "I was just recounting what you did. You're quite funny."
Ye Siqing covered her face: "It's over..."
Mo Feng became even more furious, his face turning pale and then red.
He pressed a button on his watch: "Guards, come now—"
Before he could finish speaking, an old voice rang out.
What happened?
Footsteps could be heard.
The old man slowly walked into the laboratory, glanced around, and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Mo Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he said respectfully, "Dean Norman."
He had some doubts.
Dean Norman doesn't usually spend much time in the engineering school; he usually stays behind closed doors doing experiments. Why is he suddenly here in the students' lab today?
“Dean Norman, these students are unruly, and I’m about to send them for re-education,” Mo Feng said. “And her, she maliciously slandered her mentor and must be placed under observation.”
Being placed under observation in the hospital is no different from being dismissed.
Dean Norman didn't answer immediately, but looked at the girl: "Is that so?"
Ying Zijin recounted the whole story from beginning to end without embellishing it.
After hearing this, Dean Norman's expression turned cold, and his gaze returned to Mo Feng: "Professor Mo Feng, was it the Institute of Biological Genetics that sent you here?"
Mo Feng was stunned, not quite understanding: "Dean Norman?"
"No?" Dean Norman said calmly. "I thought you were a spy sent by the Institute of Biological Genetics. Otherwise, why would you want to punish all the outstanding students?"
Mo Feng's expression changed drastically, and he broke out in a cold sweat. He suddenly knelt on one knee and said, "Dean Norman, I swear to the twenty-two sages that I am absolutely loyal to the Academy of Engineering."
“Come with me.” Dean Norman pointed to the private cubicle in the laboratory. “You can continue your experiments. A mentor’s opinion doesn’t count with me.”
Mo Feng's face was so pale it was almost unbearable to look at; it was so dark it looked like it could drip water.
Ye Siqing said happily, "Thank you, Dean Norman."
She breathed a sigh of relief and ran over, still shaken: "Junior Sister Ying, it's lucky that the dean happened to be here for an inspection, otherwise today would have been terrible."
Dean Norman could dismiss Mo Feng from his position with just a word.
Ying Zijin raised an eyebrow: "Yes, it is indeed a coincidence."
She lowered her head and exited the communication page with Dean Norman, just as a phone call came in.
Ying Zijin answered: "Hello."
"Hey boss, it's Xize. The weather's so nice today, I opened a bottle of red wine—"
"I don't want to hear the intro, just get to the point."
The other side's arrogance immediately deflated: "Boss, do you know that that bastard Norton has been sending me photos lately?"
Ying Zijing narrowed her eyes slightly: "Hmm?"
“He said you gave him a little girl who looked like a doll,” Xize said. “He asked me what kind of clothes would be suitable for a six-year-old girl.”
Ying Zijin: "..."
She needs to have a good talk with Norton.
"Boss, you can't be biased!" Xize said, sounding a little aggrieved. "Why can he keep a young girl, but I can't? I want one too, and I want one that's even prettier than him!"
Ying Zijing couldn't listen anymore: "...I'm hanging up."
"No, no, no, boss, I was wrong." Xize became serious in a second. "I was just bringing you something. There's an auction in early August."
Ying Zijin nodded: "An auction?"
Xize entered the City of the World a few days earlier than her and went to play on his own.
She didn't pay much attention to it, but she kept in touch with him.
“Didn’t I tell you that my ancestors disappeared without a trace?” Xize said again. “At the time, I only suspected that they were taken to the City of the World, but now it’s confirmed that the largest auction house here was opened by them.”
"Then I just happened to sneak in, and then I accidentally made it to the upper levels. Now the entire auction house is mine, and I have another treasure trove."
Ying Zijin: "..."
The Laurent family's deeply ingrained penny-pinching and stinginess has indeed been passed down from generation to generation.
"Okay, bring it over, let me take a look." Ying Zijin nodded slightly. "I've also sent you your medicine. Ask me for more if you need more."
The city of the world is protected by a sage, seemingly peaceful, but in reality, undercurrents are surging.
It's far more dangerous than the ancient martial arts world.
Nishizawa had already experienced death once, so his body was much more fragile.
Xize cautiously began, "I'm not really short of medicine, boss. You see, I actually need one—"
Ying Zijing showed no expression and this time hung up the phone directly.
"Junior Sister Ying," Ye Siqing asked curiously, "who called you?"
"Hmm?" Ying Zijing yawned. "A friend."
Upon hearing this, Bi'er glanced at it lightly.
She learned some things from the hacker alliance last time.
Qin Lingyan is the grandson who was found by the Alliance Leader. Before returning to the Hacker Alliance, he was a civilian.
It's quite normal that he could know Ying Zijin.
Ordinary people can only know ordinary people.
What remarkable friends could Ying Zijin possibly have?
Bi'er withdrew her gaze and took out several invitations from her bag: "I have a few extra tickets for Section D for next month's auction, so I'm giving them to you."
Xu Jingshan was overjoyed: "Thank you, Miss Bi'er, thank you."
After taking it, he smugly waved the ticket in his hand at Group B: "Ye Siqing, apologize to me and I'll take you in, okay?"
“These tickets are different; even ordinary people can’t get in.”
Ye Siqing scoffed: "Narcissism is a disease; you should go to the hospital to get it checked out."
Ying Zijin didn't listen.
She leaned against the table, lost in thought.
According to Xiu, there was no such place as the World City on Earth before.
Twenty-two sages also live on Earth, protecting the seven continents and four oceans.
Then something happened: twenty-two sages migrated a portion of the sparks of human civilization to this place, named it the City of the World, and began to develop it.
Even now.
Xiu remained silent about what that matter was.
Ying Zijin pressed her temples.
**
On the other side.
In the private cubicle.
The atmosphere was heavy and oppressive.
“Mo Feng, I know you value your students highly, and so do I.” Dean Norman adjusted his glasses. “Do you really understand the whole story behind this matter?”
“I understand.” Mo Feng frowned. “That student from the Institute of Biological Genetics only blocked the parts channel; he didn’t actually do anything.”
"Moreover, we already have a lot of conflicts with the Institute of Biological Genetics. Their parts supply is blocked. We can talk to the mentors about it. There is no need to take direct action to retaliate, as that will only escalate the conflict."
The Academy of Engineering has a better future than the Academy of Biological Sciences, but because the Academy of Biological Sciences has wise men behind it, they are always a step behind.
Mo Feng, who didn't want to confront the Institute of Biological Genetics head-on, naturally had to back down after these incidents.
"Tell the mentors?" Dean Norman chuckled. "Mentor Mo Feng, if they really told you, would you really help them?"
Mo Feng choked for a moment.
If Group B comes to him, he will only say that they are not as skilled and do not have a higher-level account.
Ying Zijing is not Bi'er, so why should he take care of her?
“In this matter, neither Ying Zijing nor Ye Siqing has done anything wrong.” Dean Norman looked directly at him. “Alright, now go out and apologize to them.”
Mo Feng was astonished: "Dean Norman?"
“Apologize.” Dean Norman stood up and pushed open the door to the cubicle. “Go apologize.”
Under the watchful eyes of all the students, Mo Feng took a deep breath and walked up to Ying Zijing.
He finally bent down and lowered his head: "I'm sorry."
Ying Zijing looked up at him and said, "It's alright."
Mo Feng's fingers clenched so tightly they cracked, and he walked over to Ye Siqing and the other members of Group B, whereupon he apologized.
Having been in the engineering academy for so long, he had never encountered anything like this before.
I felt so frustrated I was about to explode.
"Bi'er, let's go." Mo Feng glanced at the girl deliberately. "The experimental project is due the day after tomorrow. W Network will be broadcasting it live. Prepare well."
Some people are about to reveal their true colors.
Bi'er stood up and followed behind Mo Feng.
Before they had left, there was a knock on the door.
A man who looked like a butler stood at the door, looking very apologetic: "Excuse me, is Miss Ying Zijing here? I'm here on orders to deliver something to you."
One sentence made everyone in the lab turn around.
Everyone, including Dean Norman, was astonished.
The technology in this world-class city has advanced to the point that deliverymen are no longer needed; delivery boxes are everywhere.
Simply place your package in the delivery box, and a dedicated transport track and machinery will transport it to cities around the world—it's incredibly convenient and fast.
What is it that requires someone to deliver it?
