Chapter 812: You Guys Are Too Worried About Me.

The studying atmosphere at M.Uni is the strongest among all the universities in China. Not long after school started, all kinds of competitions followed one after another. Everyone entered the intense studying plus competition zone.

When Zi Yi reported to the school, it was already the third day when school started.

Today just so happens to be the day where scholarships were being distributed.

She first went to the Headmaster’s office.

At the sight of her, the headmaster revealed an amicable smile.

“Little Zi, you’re here. Come in and have a seat.”

The both of them walked to the sofa area and sat down.

The Headmaster said, “Your final exam results are all excellent so you’re able to receive all the scholarships.”

Zi Yi nodded her head and it did not come as a surprise to her.

The Headmaster also said, “We will be hanging both yours and Student Nangong’s photos on our achievement board. Send me a photo of yourself later.”

Zi Yi took out her phone and took a selfie before showing it to the Headmaster. “Will this do?”

The Headmaster did not know whether to laugh or to cry. “Aren’t you too perfunctory? Other people can’t wait to find the best photographer to help them take a photo.”

“Did Ah Jing do that too?”

The Headmaster was momentarily stunned at Zi Yi’s question. Following that, he laughed heartily. “He’s as perfunctory as you. I recall someone saying that when the Director of the school asked him for a photo, he casually handed his phone to a classmate along the way and got that student to take the photo for him.”

Zi Yi smiled upon hearing the story. She suddenly thought of something and said, “I have a request.”

“What is it?”

“I want my photo to be hung next to Ah Jing’s.”

The Headmaster did not know whether to laugh or cry. “This is your request?”

Zi Yi thought that he would not allow it and so she furrowed her eyebrows. “It can’t be done?”

“Haha! Of course, it can be done!”

The Headmaster motioned to her. “Send me your photo then. I’ll get someone to print it out and have it framed immediately.”

Zi Yi sent the photo to the Headmaster.

When she walked out of the Headmaster’s office, the list of students who won scholarships last semester was being broadcasted on the radio in every school.

Every time Zi Yi headed to a school to collect her scholarship, she would be surrounded by a group of students.

“Goddess, did you really advance to graduate school?”

“Which professor are you studying under?”

…

When it was noon, Zi Yi had yet to finish collecting all her scholarships.

Dou Xiangling just so happened to call her at that time. She asked where Zi Yi was and if she wanted to have lunch together.

Zi Yi immediately went looking for her.

By the time Zi Yi arrived, Dou Xiangling had already collected the food for both of them.

Zi Yi immediately picked up the chopsticks after she sat down and started eating. From the looks of it, she seemed to be extremely hungry.

Seeing how hungry she was, Dou Xiangling pushed her bowl of rib soup to her with a smile and asked, “Didn’t you eat any snacks in the morning? Why do you look so hungry?”

“I didn’t. I’ve been going to all the various schools all morning to collect the scholarships.”

In fact, the scholarship money was transferred directly into her bank account. However, one had to personally collect the certification. Moreover, the Dean of each school gave her a call, asking her to personally make a trip. This was why she was in such a miserable state.

Dou Xiangling felt her heart ache. “If you can’t finish collecting it today, you can collect them tomorrow.”

“I’m fine. I’m just a little hungry.”

Zi Yi drank a mouthful of soup and continued eating.

Dou Xiangling waited for her to take a few more bites before she said, “Yiyi, I will be bringing my students out to sketch soon.”

Zi Yi looked up and asked, “Where are you going?”

Dou Xiangling motioned to a scenic spot.

Zi Yi nodded her head. “You can rest assured and go ahead. I will watch over the art gallery.”

The art gallery was open to the public two times a week and there was a manager robot in charge of the place. In fact, there was no need for Dou Xiangling to be worried either. “There are quite a number of people who came to the art gallery to ask when it’ll be open. I mentioned that it will be open this Saturday. You should be careful not to bump into anything or anyone at that time.”

Zi Yi propped her forehead up with her hand. “You guys are too worried about me.”

Dou Xiangling laughed. “It’s better to be careful.”

Zi Yi nodded her head and said, “I understand.”

After lunch, Zi Yi went to the Dean’s office of the School of Technology.

The Dean had been waiting for her in his office for a long time. After he handed her the certificate, the Dean asked, “Little Zi, will you only be following Professor Dou to do your projects?”

Zi Yi said, “Other than the School of Technology, I also have projects in other schools.”

The Dean clearly had something to say, but he did not know how to bring it up.

At the sight of this, Zi Yi said, “If you have something to say, you can tell me.”

“It’s like this. Dr. Ellis from Country A came looking for me before the New Year. He’s a first-class professor in nuclear fusion engineering in Country A. He mentioned that he highly values you and wishes to make an exception to admit you as his student.”

When Zi Yi heard this name, she slightly frowned but did not respond right away.

The Dean continued to speak, “If you’re interested in this prospect, you can consider it. Dr. Ellis is an internationally famous professor and he is very strong in this specialization. Most importantly, you can enter Country A’s national research lab if you follow him.”

The Dean looked at Zi Yi after he finished talking.

Zi Yi shook her head and said, “I don’t want to go.”

The Dean found it a little regretful. “Actually, it’s every researcher’s dream to study under Dr. Ellis and now that you have this opportunity, you can think it over. After all, our country is indeed lacking compared to Country A in this specialization. If you study hard while you’re under him, you can make contributions to your motherland when you return home.”

Zi Yi understood the Dean’s intentions. She originally planned to reject it again but the Dean suddenly said, “You can take your time to consider. Dr. Ellis mentioned that he will be making a trip here again during February and it’s not too late to answer then.”

Zi Yi thought about it and nodded her head; she did not immediately refuse the offer.

After Zi Yi came out of the Dean’s office, she made a trip to the Department of Archaeology.

When students of the Department of Archaeology saw Zi Yi, many students were so excited that they screamed out loud.

“Junior Sister, you’re finally here. We were making guesses to see if you would be coming over today.”

“Junior Sister, are you really not going to continue your undergraduate studies? Will you continue studying as a graduate student in the Department of Archaeology?”

There were only so few people in the Department of Archaeology. The total number of students in that department was even less than the number of First Year students in a larger department.

Zi Yi said, “Of course, I’ll be continuing my studies.”

She was very interested in the ancient culture of the capital. She was even planning to follow the professors onsite.

Everyone gathered around and chatted briefly before Zi Yi left to look for one of the professors.

“Professor Ma.”

“Student Zi, you’re here. Quick, come in.”

When Zi Yi went in, she saw a pile of ancient documents and bronzeware on Professor Ma’s desk. She looked at them curiously.

Professor Ma said to her, “These are bronzeware that was just unearthed from Province X. It should be accompanying the burial objects of a royal minister.”

Zi Yi looked at the carvings on the bronzeware and asked, “Professor Ma, can I take a look at this bronzeware?”

This particular bronzeware should be a wine pot. The outlet was a beak-shaped arc.

“Go ahead.”

Zi Yi put on special gloves, picked up the bronzeware, and looked at it for a while before she said to Professor Ma, “There are a few areas where it’s tarnished. Are they going to be restored?”
