Chapter 290: Impressive, you know people from the research institute too?

Chapter 290: Chapter 290: Impressive, you know people from the research institute too?

"It is quite a coincidence," Jiang Man said in a flat tone, as she picked up her water glass and finished the rest of her juice.

She patted Zhang Ziqi on the shoulder, "Sit down, finish your meal, there’s no need to give up your seats for them."

"Yeah!" With Jiang Man’s support, Mao Lili and Zhang Ziqi unapologetically sat down and leisurely began to eat.

The director blinked in confusion.

So he had been made a pawn.

The Lu Family’s young miss obviously knew everyone at the table. He’d been made the bad guy to ask for the table?

The director touched his nose, feeling quite displeased.

He was after all the director of education at Tsinghua and Peking University, and if it weren’t for that 30 million library investment, why would he bend over backward for these two academic underachievers from the Lu Family?

"You all know each other?" The director asked the obvious, not wanting to be cannon fodder, but was polite yet unfriendly, "I have classes, so I won’t keep you company. The two Miss Lus, feel free to do as you please."

"Director, thank you for your trouble. If you have a class, please go ahead," Jiang Man said humbly, nodding to him with a slightly embarrassed expression.

She really couldn’t understand what Wen Jingya was up to; wasn’t this just offending the director?

Wen Jingya completely ignored the education director and instead looked at Jiang Man, "Why did you come to Tsinghua and Peking University today? Is it because of Dr. M, attracted by his reputation?"

"Not really, just here to eat," snickered Jiang Man. "After eating, we’ll take a casual stroll around the campus and then head back if there’s nothing else."

"Is that so," Wen Jingya’s tone lifted at the end, a smile that was not quite a smile on her face, "Do you two students want to meet Dr. M?"

"Huh?" Mao Lili looked up, her mouth stuffed full of food.

Of course she wanted to see him, to show off on social media.

But seeing him wasn’t possible, so just checking in at the school would have to be enough to pretend.

After all, her high school classmates didn’t know the situation here in Beicheng, let alone whether she actually met the doctor or not.

"I have a quota; if you two want to meet him, I can take you both in," Wen Jingya said with all the airs of importance, her brow raised high, looking terribly self-assured, "Manman, do you want to meet him? We can go together."

"Yaya, do you have a way?" Jiang Man tugged at her sleeve, expressing doubt.

Lu Yingxue had called their grandmother specially to get a ticket. At that time, Brother Zhou was in an awkward position, but still, it was Jiang Man who got the quota.

However, whether Jiang Man really got it, she didn’t know, since she wasn’t kept in the loop and hadn’t taken the initiative to ask her grandma.

"Of course I can get it!" Wen Jingya turned her head and rolled her eyes at Jiang Man.

Jiang Man furrowed her brows and said no more.

"Oh? You can get it?" Jiang Man crossed her legs, suddenly interested.

She crossed her arms over her chest, looking at Wen Jingya with poised interest, "How exactly?"

"I have my ways. Let’s eat first, and after lunch, I’ll take all three of you in!"

Seeing her so confident, Jiang Man suddenly felt energized, "Count me in too, I’d like to have a look."

"Okay," Wen Jingya lifted her head and glanced at the food area, "I want a bowl of rice noodles, an egg sunny-side up, and a cup of hot milk."

Jiang Man was stunned for a moment before she realized, "Alright, I’ll go get it for you, just wait here."

Wen Jingya’s mouth curled into a smirk, her vanity greatly satisfied.

Jiang Man didn’t speak, just quietly watched her show off.

She took out her phone and leisurely began to scroll through the news.

Mao Lili and Zhang Ziqi exchanged glances.

"You’re really taking us? What do you want in return? Let’s hear it."

"Yeah, if the conditions are too harsh, we might as well not go."

The two were very much in sync.

Wen Jingya sneered at them, "I lack nothing in the Lu Family, but well, if I really had to set a condition, how about the next school beauty vote, you two give me your votes?"

"Ah? That’s it?" Mao Lili gaped, then she muttered to herself.

Because this year’s school belle is Sister Man.

Isn’t this like betraying her right before her face?

"Let’s forget about it, we should vote for Sister Man."

"Exactly."

"It doesn’t matter." Jiang Man said with a smile in her eyes, "I’m not interested in the title of school belle, but I am interested in Dr. M."

"Wen Jingya, if you really can do what you claim, my vote goes to you, too."

Wen Jingya’s eyes widened, "!!!"

She thought that her provocation would make Jiang Man angry, just as she had been infuriated by her time and again.

But unexpectedly, Jiang Man didn’t get angry, she even used reverse psychology.

"You said it!" Wen Jingya gritted her teeth.

Finally getting an opportunity to show off in front of Jiang Man, how could she possibly do nothing?

"Senior sister, I didn’t expect you to be so awesome. If we really get to see the professor this time, at the North Conservatory you’ll be my second god!" Mao Lili chuckled, constantly sucking up.

This was extremely flattering to Wen Jingya, "Who is the first god?"

"Of course, it’s Sister Man."

"..."

During one breakfast, Wen Jingya pretentiously showed off, taking more than forty minutes to eat.

Jiang Man glanced at the time, "We must hurry, the professor’s lecture starts at ten, we should get there early to grab seats."

"Yes, yes, let’s hurry." Mao Lili and Zhang Ziqi were already full and just waiting for Wen Jingya.

Only then did Wen Jingya reluctantly say, "What’s the rush? It’s just a few minutes’ walk from here to the teaching building."

"Come on, Yaya, hurry up."

Through a mix of dragging, cajoling, and persuading, Wen Jingya finally finished her battle, took her last sip of water, and stood up, "Let’s go."

She walked in front, having them follow her, full of ostentation and authority.

Jiang Man trailed behind, hands in her pockets, watching their complacent strut without any urge to burst their bubble.

She was curious to see, how would Wen Jingya deal when the bubble of her boasts eventually burst?

"My gosh, why are there so many military vehicles at the door? And there are so many soldiers on guard."

Upon seeing the rows of military vehicles neatly parked in front of Teaching Building 1, Mao Lili instinctively clung to Zhang Ziqi’s arm.

Zhang Ziqi was also a bit scared, as this was her first time seeing a real gun.

The soldiers, armed and vigilant, had an imposing presence that was intimidating to look at.

Wen Jingya, leading the way, was about to enter the building.

Suddenly, two armed guards blocked the way with their guns.

Then, a soldier who looked like Wen Bing stepped forward, "Please show your entry tickets."

"One moment." Wen Jingya smiled, took out her phone, and called in front of Wen Bing, "Yes, Uncle Wu, I’m right outside now."

"Our Captain Wu will come personally to take us inside!"

After hanging up the phone, Wen Jingya looked very proud.

"Senior sister, you actually know someone from the research institute?" Mao Lili asked in surprise as she stepped forward.

Jiang Man also found it unbelievable.

When Lu Yingxue asked for entry tickets, Brother Zhou clearly looked troubled.

If Wen Jingya was really so capable, why didn’t her grandmother ask her for the entry tickets?
