Chapter 666: Mingyue Enters the Lord’s Heart: Smash Beijing University’s Reputation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The two sang the same tune.
Cheng Huo, Cheng Tu, Chang Ning, and the others in the hall looked at Kenneth gloomily, narrowing their eyes.
Especially Cheng Huo, who still intended on teaching Cheng Ziyu in the future, even though Tang Jun hadn’t necessarily agreed to it.
Kenneth paused for a moment and then looked up. “No, I’m not!”
He put the gift back into his pocket and tried to explain himself. “I just took the wrong thing.”
Folding his arms, Gu Xichi showed him no mercy. “You took such a big gift by mistake? Why hasn’t your organization been cut down already?”
Kenneth was speechless.
He had nothing else to say.
Gu Xichi naturally knew Kenneth’s intentions.
He wanted to snatch Cheng Ziyu to be their third most powerful man.
At that time, both Cheng Huo and Xie Jiu of the Underground Alliance would have to give him face.
Especially Matthew, whom Kenneth was so apprehensive towards, would also have to become gentler.
But Kenneth wasn’t the only one with his plans for Cheng Ziyu. From top to bottom in Beijing, the old guys in the Physics Institute were all betting on Cheng Ziyu.
It was just that these old guys didn’t dare to be as bold as Chang Ning and Master Wei and only just secretly thought about it in front of Cheng Juan and Qin Ran.
Even Gu Xichi wanted to abduct Cheng Ziyu to the Medical Organization. If Cheng Ziyu wanted to study medicine, let alone Gu Xichi, even the Medical Organization itself would put aside everything at hand and take time to train the little cub.
It was a pity that everyone had such intentions, but no one made a single move now, and could only wait for him to get older.
With Kenneth’s intention, Gu Xichi would never agree to it.
This side of Beijing was a treasured land of Feng Shui.
“Let’s go.” Glancing at the time, Cheng Wenru directly walked over to pick Cheng Ziyu up. “Can I take him out now?”
She raised her chin and glanced at Cheng Juan.
Cheng Juan knew that educating the little boy couldn’t be done overnight, so he nodded to her.
The Cheng family, the Qin family, and several older generations from the Physics Research Institute were all waiting to see Cheng Ziyu.
Upon seeing Cheng Wenru heading out, the group of people behind also followed in a streamline.
Only Butler Mu was left.
Because the Mu family was present, Ning Wei didn’t immediately go out with Cheng Wenru but waited until the people were almost gone before she stopped in front of Old Master Mu and the others.
Old Master Mu had experienced a lot in his lifetime and managed to conceal his inner shock from coming here for the first time. He turned to her and said, “The person-in-charge of the Research Institute is looking for you.”
Ning Wei nodded and glanced at the person-in-charge of the Chemistry Research Institute, surprised. “Are you looking for me?”
The person-in-charge seemed to be in a daze and took about ten seconds to react. He immediately put his hand behind him, as if he was a rabbit who had been stepped on. “No, no! Not at all!”
Finding his reaction a little strange, Ning Wei glanced at him but didn’t say anything else. She took Old Master Mu to the lobby.
The person-in-charge and Butler Mu followed behind them.
After Ning Wei left the house, Butler Mu turned to the person-in-charge. “Weren’t you going to ask her about the Research Institute?”
The person-in-charge silently looked up, speechless.
He originally thought that it was too wasteful for a person like Ning Wei to leave her job and raise a child, so he had followed Old Master Mu here in order to persuade her to return.
But now.
Ha.
He was speechless.
Especially after seeing the scene just now.
How would he dare to say it?!
…
Those present today were familiar friends of the Cheng and Qin families.
The renewal of Beijing in the past two years had been too drastic, and other than the wedding of Qin Ran and Cheng Juan, it hadn’t been this lively for a long time, so this incident had really injected new life into Beijing.
Qin Ran was a magnate in the Physics Institute, while Cheng Juan was a magnate in the Medical School, and both of them were even powerful figures in Continent M.
It was only natural for these people to be so focused on their child.
“Mingyue, do you want to hug him?” At the sight of Pan Mingyue quietly following Song Luting, Cheng Wenru rarely softened her brows and looked towards her.
She had heard about Pan Mingyue from Cheng Jin.
Especially her recent restoration in the hall of fame.
Pan Mingyue wore glasses with a large frame, and upon hearing this, she looked up with more expression on her overly-white face.
“Try it.” Cheng Wenru walked over and carefully taught her how to hold the child. She lowered her head and cooed to Cheng Ziyu. “This is your aunt Mingyue. She’s your mother’s childhood friend.”
As if because of these words, Cheng Ziyu never cried.
Looking down at the child, Pan Mingyue’s heart softened terribly, and she smiled softly.
The child was only one-month-old and was still very small. Pan Mingyue held him for a while before returning him to Cheng Wenru. After thinking about it, she took off a jade pendant on her neck and handed it to him.
“This was my brother’s.” Looking at the little boy’s face, Pan Mingyue’s eyes shone a little brighter.
Cheng Wenru knew that this jade pendant must be very important to her.
She looked up and was about to speak when Pan Mingyue pushed her glasses and looked down at the time on her watch. “I have to rush back, I still have something to do.”
No matter when, Pan Mingyue only focused on her studies.
Especially in the past few years, she had become even more silent than before, and even Song Luting rarely saw her smile.
She was probably only truly happy today and during Qin Ran’s wedding.
Cheng Wenru watched her go out and wanted to say something, but Song Luting stopped her. Wearing a white shirt and a black windbreaker draped over his wrist, he nodded slightly at her. “Take it. She really likes Xiao Ziyu.”
He glanced at Cheng Ziyu, and his eyes softened. “Can I hold him?”
“Of course.” Cheng Wenru handed the child to him.
As for those from the Physics Institute, they just had to line up at the back.
Everyone knew that these three friends who had grown up with her were more important to her than 129 and the Physics Institute.
Thus, when Pan Mingyue and Song Luting jumped the line, no one dared to say anything.
…
It wasn’t easy to hail a taxi at the Cheng family’s area, and she had to walk out for 10 minutes before she could get a taxi.
Pan Mingyue didn’t let Cheng Mu send her off. Song Luting had left a car for her, but she didn’t drive it either.
She slowly walked outside with her brows lowered.
Because of the restricted traffic here, there were special guards and passersby.
The rapid sound of her phone ringing interrupted her thoughts. She wrapped her coat around her and answered the phone.
The counselor told her to return quickly.
Quickening her pace, she walked to the road and hailed a taxi.
After arriving at school, she directly went to the counselor’s room.
Pan Mingyue’s counselor was a woman in her thirties, who wore glasses and looked rather gentle. She had been taking great care of Pan Mingyue during the latter’s college days.
“Counselor, you want to promote the posters?” Pan Mingyue pushed her glasses and asked seriously.
In her freshman year, the counselor happened to know that Pan Mingyue was a good artist and had asked her to help draw some posters for remuneration.
Aware that she was an orphan and was working at the same time, the counselor had subconsciously helped her.
“That’s not important. I’ve reported to you the internship list of the Inspection Institute.” The counselor put down the mouse and looked up at her.
Near graduation, everyone’s whereabouts were a problem. Some people were busy taking the postgraduate entrance examination, some had already found a company the year before, while some hadn’t passed the examination and were looking for a job.
Not everyone could enter the Inspection Institute.
This year, the counselor had applied for Pan Mingyue after the two lists of Beijing University were handed down.
It wasn’t just because she took care of Pan Mingyue, but more importantly, Pan Mingyue worked hard and was very practical too.
Once, when Pan Mingyue didn’t come to class for two consecutive weeks, Professor Zhou from the Physics Institute had even come to apply for leave for her. After weighing various pros and cons, the counselor had given her the only placing and had declared the reasons to her superiors.
Pan Mingyue was stunned for a moment. “Thank you, counselor.”
Her voice was the same as usual.
She didn’t sound surprised.
The counselor felt puzzled and glanced at her. “Work hard in the Inspection Institute, it’s best if you can stay. Of course, people who are with you will be there for their internships, but there’s no need to feel too much pressure.”
Pan Mingyue left.
The assistant teacher of the counselor said worriedly, “Why did you approve a freshman this year? It’s hopeless for a freshman to successfully stay in the Inspection Institute.”
The Inspection Institute only recruited five interns each year, including doctoral students from abroad and from China. Although it was said to be five interns, in actuality, it was also a contest between the various big universities.
In previous years, Beijing University’s law school had even sent their doctoral students for internships. Even so, they had failed to stay.
It was the Inspection Institute, after all. The students of Beijing University didn’t have many posts there. Thus, the Dean of the law school was very careful in choosing the placing every year.
This year was extremely random, however, and they had picked a fresh graduate to go. The assistant professor admitted that Pan Mingyue was very outstanding, but she wasn’t as good as the doctoral students in other universities.
The key point was that the Dean of the law school actually dared to approve it?
He was afraid that it would only smash Beijing University’s good reputation.
