Chapter 149: Chapter 139: Seeing Your Senior, Aren’t You Going to Say Hello? (Double-Length)

Ji Xizhi was not interested in the banquet, but from the words of the message Chu Ang sent her last night, she could sense his emphasis on this invitation.

Ji Xizhi’s voice was calm as she stuffed a wet wipe into Chu Ang’s hand and asked, “Why?”

Chu Ang smiled wryly, “The invitation isn’t assigned by our advisor anymore. Due to the limited number, the academy selects. My articles barely made the cut, and I have no chance to go.”

The Feng Family’s banquet does invite universities, but, of course, not everyone who wants to go can go. It’s normal for there to be competition among academies.

Chu Ang was just unlucky enough to be stuck at the cutoff.

He got to where he was because he was capable, but his luck… was indeed a bit peculiar.

You could tell just by looking at the expression on Chu Ang’s face.

Ji Xizhi calmly said, “What about the teacher?”

Chu Ang casually wiped his face with the wet wipe, his voice dull, “The teacher went out for a meeting.”

Ji Xizhi: “Then you just need to mention this to the teacher.”

Ji Xizhi hadn’t encountered such a situation during her doctorate studies, but for this kind of issue, with Jiang Qianli’s connections, even if they didn’t get an invitation, at least he could introduce a senior from the research institute to Chu Ang. It’s not a big deal.

But she knew that Chu Ang, having been under the teacher for so long, should know this.

Ji Xizhi looked up at Chu Ang.

Chu Ang, however, lowered his head at that moment, negating himself with self-mockery, “I don’t want to turn to the teacher.”

“I’m under the teacher, but I still can’t match other students. What right do I have to ask the teacher?”

Chu Ang’s voice lowered even further.

He was very aware of his own nature, but his unfortunate nature always seemed to stick to himself, and he never wanted to trouble others. Now, it’s the same; if he can’t compete, he simply accepts it.

Chu Ang briefly felt down but then quickly cheered himself up, “It’s okay, if I can’t win this time, I’ll definitely do better next time!”

“Junior sister, what were you just doing?!”

Chu Ang pretended to be relaxed, trying to change the subject.

Ji Xizhi responded politely, “Finished writing two papers.”

Chu Ang: “.”

The relaxed atmosphere shattered.

Chu Ang looked at Ji Xizhi as if he was looking at a marvel.

She had only been away for a week! A week is just seven days?! Is she even human?!

Chu Ang had never so strongly doubted this world, even as his luck got worse over time, he never doubted it.

But now, he doubted if Ji Xizhi was even human!

Seeing Chu Ang on the brink of an emotional meltdown, Ji Xizhi’s expression slightly tensed as she asked,

“Do you really want to go?”

Chu Ang: “Yes, of course, I want to!”

Ji Xizhi nodded knowingly, then dropped her plan to go to the cafeteria for lunch. She walked to the table, opened a website, and found a familiar webpage.

She located the private messages.

“5577: Hello, about the banquet invitation we talked about last time, is it still available? I can pay for it.”

After about five or six minutes.

Xue Fan replied.

“Poster: Of course!!! No need to pay, when would you like to come?”

“Poster: It’s probably too late to mail an invitation now. I’ll send you the address, and you can go straight to the entrance, or if it’s convenient for you, I can even send a car to pick you up?!”

Ever since Xue Fan failed to invite 5577 the last time, his enthusiasm to meet the great figure was completely extinguished. In his mind, 5577 wouldn’t easily reveal themselves, let alone attend the banquet. How could they willingly expose their whereabouts?

Who would’ve thought, on the day of the banquet, just as it was about to start, while in the car, his phone unexpectedly received a private message from the great figure.

Clicking it open, he saw the great figure actually saying they wanted to come at that very moment!

What a surprise?!

Xue Fan felt a surge of excitement, almost urging the driver to turn around to go pick up the great figure.

Ji Xizhi, sitting in the office, calmly replied to the series of messages from Xue Fan:

“5577: No need to pick someone up; it’s my friend who wants to go.”

Ji Xizhi indeed planned to let Chu Ang go by himself.

But seeing Xue Fan’s attitude, she thought for a moment and decided that it would be safer if she went too.

“Poster: No worries, your friend is my friend; let’s go together! The invitation is not a problem!”

“Poster: I’m already on the way to the banquet and will be there soon. I’ll wait for you at the entrance! I’m wearing a black suit, blue tie today, and my hair is…”

Xue Fan meticulously described his outfit for the day, and after finishing, he sent a detailed address to Ji Xizhi.

So Ji Xizhi only needed to find him directly after getting off the car.

Ji Xizhi noted it simply and then closed her laptop.
