Chapter 157: Where did you Get This Counterfeit, Brother Jiang?

As one of the seniors came up to Gu Xiqiao with a bunch of reports, the others finally reacted, and in a single moment, she was successfully surrounded by a bunch of seniors.

Lin Xia walked onto such a scene when he came in with a large stack of research data. He had gone abroad a few days earlier for an exchange program, but when he came back and realized that Zhu Yuan had given a lecture, he felt as if he had lost a million yuan. If he knew that Zhu Yuan would come back to give a lecture, he wouldn’t have gone so far away.

Thankfully, there were recordings of the lecture that he watched again and again, and the patents that he talked about in the video gave him great inspiration. Whenever he had any questions, he would ask Zhu Yuan.

Even though Zhu Yuan had great achievements, he wasn’t as high and mighty as everyone rumored him to be, and gave him the answers that he knew of.

He was quite shocked upon seeing the bunch of research students swarm to Gu Xiqiao like bees.

“Don’t be too surprised, that lazy panda has finally come back to the lab after such a long time, so of course everyone would gather around her like that. Who knows when she would come back next?” After Zhu Yuan said so, he knocked on the table and shouted. “Hey, give her some space and leave once you’ve gotten an answer, I need some time with her too!”

The first sentence was said to Lin Xia, while the next was said to the feeding frenzy of research students that had surrounded Gu Xiqiao.

Lin Xia stood there in slight awe at the scene. He knew that Gu Xiqiao was talented and had researched the way to carry out cell fusion that even he was stumped with, but how did her popularity boost like this in the few days that he was gone?

The research students in the lab were some of the smartest in A University and were all quite well known even outside the university. They were all quite prideful in their daily lives, but now they all didn’t care about their dignity at all just for a chance to ask Gu Xiqiao a question first?

How did the world change so quickly in such a few days?

Lin Xia made a mental note to greet her later on as he set down the papers on the desk, before handing the report in his hand to Zhu Yuan. “Senior Zhu, this is a report that Professor Jiang let me see yesterday, but I don’t understand a lot of it…”

Professor Jiang told him to ask Zhu Yuan as many questions as he could in the time that he was here before he disappeared again.

Zhu Yuan took the report and realized that Lin Xia was quite studious and diligent, marking all the points that confused him and making remarks with a red pen.

Practically the entire report was marked in such a way, however, and after being with Gu Xiqiao for such a long time, Zhu Yuan felt as if he was infected by her laziness too. Rubbing his head, he looked at Lin Xia. “You know where this report is from, right?”

“This came out together with a video that went viral in the medical industry right? My friend from America sent a copy to me too, and I hear that it was translated into many different languages too…” Upon saying this, Lin Xia chuckled. “But I can’t imagine that to be an easy job, honestly.”

Many foreign doctors questioned the viability of this report, but they couldn’t refute the truth of the report either.

In any case, Chinese was a language that had thousands of years of history and was broad and profound, and it was difficult to get the proper meaning through translation.

“Tch, how could they try to peer on our research without even learning Chinese?” Zhu Yuan raised his eyebrows. “If you knew that it was from China, then how could you have not recognized that the person in the video was her?”

Zhu Yuan pointed at Gu Xiqiao, and Lin Xia blinked dumbly before he asked, “You mean Junior Gu?”

It was true that he felt a sense of familiarity when he watched the video, but he didn’t think much of it. Even if he did, he wouldn’t have thought of Gu Xiqiao. She was just a freshman in A University, after all, and a clinical student at that.

No matter how talented she was and how outstanding her grades were, it didn’t cover up the fact that she was just a freshman that hadn’t even come to the lab a handful of times.

It was completely unbelievable to Lin Xia that she could write such a report.

“Junior?” Zhu Yuan finally remembered that Gu Xiqiao was actually very much younger than he was, and he grumbled. “Why else do you think everyone is swarming around her like that? What a bunch of brats! Wait here, I have a few questions that I need her help with too.”

Lin Xia looked over at Gu Xiqiao, who looked as nonchalant as always, and from the angle that he was looking at her, he could only see her side profile that looked like a painting.

No matter how mature she seemed, she was still extremely young.

When he was at this age, he was probably still reveling in the admiration of the other students, but he didn’t have such an achievement.

Upon hearing the same questions, she raised her hand and made a pressing motion in the air.

Even though she was thin and petite, she had a leader’s aura, and in a single moment, everyone looked at her with full attention, not saying a word.

“First of all, how did you guys know that it was me?” This was the part that Gu Xiqiao was the most confused about. In the video, she wore a surgical mask, and the only part of her face that could be seen was her eyes. Besides that, the video was most of her hands and Wang Jincheng.

Immediately, everyone betrayed Zhu Yuan. “Senior Zhu told us!”

F*ck! With a tug at her lip, she looked over at Zhu Yuan with a grudgeful gaze, before looking back at the research students. “I know everyone has a lot of questions, so I’ll compile some files… Is everyone in a group chat?”

“Aaahhh! I’ll make one right now on Wechat!” A girl immediately took our her phone and struggled to get close to Gu Xiqiao to get her account ID, before adding everyone into the group.

The girl’s reaction was so quick that once everyone else belatedly realized that she had her hands on Gu Xiqiao’s contact!

Everyone: How sly!!

After getting everything settled with, Gu Xiqiao walked over to Zhu Yuan, who stood up and let her have the seat. “Here!”

Gu Xiqiao made a document on the computer and started typing quickly, the keyboard clacking like rain as she typed. Even Zhu Yuan felt tired looking at her type, so he only looked away and waited for her to finish patiently.

Lin Xia stood at a side and waited until Gu Xiqiao finished typing the document before asking tentatively, “Junior Gu, did you really do that operation?”

“No, of course not.” Gu Xiqiao looked up at him. “I only applied some needles and found the antibacterial virus, the dean was the one that cut away all the rotten meat and stuff.”

Lin Xia felt relieved upon hearing the first part of the answer, but as she talked, he almost choked on his own spit.

Gu Xiqiao printed out the document that she typed out, and looked over it a few times before handing it to Zhu Yuan. “There, remember to send one in the group. I’ll be returning to my dorm room.”

He was convinced that she would definitely disappear for a while again after leaving, so Zhu Yuan said, “Wait, the cell fusion release conference is coming soon! I’ll send you the details through email, you have to make an appearance at the news conference!”

“Make an appearance? Me?” Gu Xiqiao heard this and glared at Zhu Yuan. “If you dare drag me there, we won’t be friends anymore!”

Zhu Yuan: “…”

F*ck! Such a chance to become renowned was just a dream for others, but she didn’t even have the slightest interest in it!

“Didn’t we already discuss this, Senior Zhu? You make an appearance at the press conference since you worked hard on this project too, and you can write both our names on the patent, how perfect!” Gu Xiqiao patted his shoulder. “Work hard, I have high hopes of you.”

Zhu Yuan stared at her leaving figure before rubbing his face expressionlessly, before looking at Lin Xia that was dumbfounded at the side. “Stop looking, she’s someone that disappears whenever she likes. She’s going to be gone for a week, minimum.”

***

Gu Xiqiao returned to the dorm, where two of the beds were already empty.

Bai Xinran was diagnosed with dementia, and her belongings were already taken away by the Bai family.

Meanwhile, Sun Jiajia’s family came to go drop her out of school a few days ago, saying that she had to go back to the countryside and get married.

Upon mentioning this, Xu Jing couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “You should have seen her face when Sun Jiajia came with her mom! What a laugh!”

“She was originally a joke, anyway.” Gu Xiqiao commented.
