Chapter 402 - 129 Mixed Feelings About Going to the Movies (Second Update)
Yun Ya couldn’t help but curl her lips as she watched.
The more popular the better, the whole world should know you, so that when you fall, you’ll fall harder.
Before she knew it, the seminar had ended, and people began to leave the classroom in an orderly manner.
Yun Ya put away her phone and was the first to leave through the back door. She didn’t go far and instead waited at the entrance of the corridor.
Sure enough, her phone rang shortly after.
"Professor Li."
"Xiao Ji, I thought I saw you earlier, or were my eyes deceiving me?"
Yun Ya smiled, "Professor Li is still young, how could his eyes be playing tricks?"
"Really, it’s you! You vanished in a blink. Where are you now? Let’s have lunch together; I’d like to introduce you to someone."
Yun Ya thought to herself that the timing couldn’t be better, "Of course, I’d be delighted, but you must keep my identity a secret, Professor Li."
Juxiang Store.
When Yun Ya arrived at the elegant private room, several people were already seated.
Sitting in the seat of honor was Academician Chiang, flanked to his left and right by Professor Wen Dehua and Professor Li Yuan. Next to Professor Wen was Director Su, followed by two of Professor Wen’s students, and next to Professor Li Yuan sat Pei Jinghong, with two young men and women behind.
Professor Li Yuan had mentioned that a friend of his would be joining soon and had asked everyone to show a little respect. Everyone had assumed it would be another elder of high stature, but to their surprise, it was a young girl who looked like a high school student.
They were all stunned, thinking she had entered the wrong room, but then they saw Professor Li Yuan promptly standing up, "You’re here, have a seat..."
Even Director Su and Pei Jinghong stood up unconsciously.
Yun Zhan realized it was the beautiful girl who had been sitting in the back row during the meeting, "So it’s her." He turned his head to look at Shan Feifei sitting beside him and couldn’t help but disdainfully say, "Compared with her, you look like a rapeseed flower by the roadside, greasy."
Shan Feifei glared at him fiercely, "Get lost."
Yun Zhan pursed his lips, "Reality is cruel. Denial is useless."
Yun Ya nodded slightly to Professor Li with a smile, "Professor Li."
Professor Wen Dehua’s gaze swept over the girl without changing his expression, wondering who she could be to receive such warm treatment from Li Yuan. Then Li Yuan introduced her to Wen Dehua, "Big brother, this is Miss Ji."
Professor Wen Dehua understood the intention; it wouldn’t be appropriate to reveal her identity in front of so many people.
Professor Wen Dehua nodded toward Yun Ya, "Hello."
"It’s an honor to finally meet you, Professor Wen." The girl smiled beautifully, leaving Yun Zhan almost dazzled, and the eyes of Professor Wen’s two young students couldn’t help but admire.
"This is Academician Chiang."
The elderly man with a head full of white hair but still sprightly nodded and smiled at Yun Ya. Yun Ya held a great respect for this old man in her heart.
Then Professor Li Yuan introduced the others present to her. She already knew Pei Jinghong and Su Zhiyuan, so she just nodded slightly to acknowledge them.
"These are my two students." He pointed to a woman with a high ponytail and an arrogant face and said, "She’s my doctoral student in clinical medicine, Shan Feifei."
The girl didn’t move from her spot and just nodded faintly towards Yun Ya, indifferent in her demeanor.
Professor Li’s brow furrowed slightly, but considering her temperament, he said nothing.
Yun Zhan looked eager, thinking his turn must be coming up next.
"Ph.D. student in pharmacology, Yun Zhan, also my student."
Yun Zhan eagerly extended his hand, "Hello, beautiful, I’m Yun Zhan."
Yun Ya’s gaze rested on his face, and she couldn’t help but find it amusing. You’ve been clamoring to meet me, and now here I am right in front of you. Can’t you recognize me?
Yun Ya nodded and said with a smile, "Hello."
Yun Zhan looked delighted, "Hello, beautiful, beautiful... heh."
Professor Li gave him a stern look. This kid was never serious, and if he scared her away, he was going to skin him.
With the introductions over, Yun Ya took her seat.
The dishes were served, and everyone chatted while eating.
Especially Yun Ya, her young age made it easy for others to underestimate her, but no matter the topics raised by Li Yuan or Wen Dehua, she spoke fluently, clearly, and with original insights, greatly impressing the seasoned graduate students.
Shan Feifei snorted through her nostrils, frustrated that she couldn’t join the conversation.
Yun Zhan was secretly sending a text message under the table.
[Master, your Jiangzhou really is a land of outstanding people, so many beauties. I just saw a stunningly beautiful girl. She even smiled at me. You wouldn’t believe how pretty she is, she’s redefined my standards for looks. After seeing such unparalleled beauty, how could I ever regard ordinary girls again?]
