He looked at Bai Lian’s research abroad this month, and even his dim eyes brightened a bit. While coughing, he nodded, “Very good.”

The assistant Yun added water for Academician Ma, and wasn’t surprised by the abundant praise from the academician.

Bai Lian was right there, and Academician Ma was already holding back.

Academician Ma was busy, and Bai Lian came this time to check on his condition. After seeing him, she went downstairs with assistant Yun.

When they reached the elevator, they happened to meet a middle-aged man on his way up. Seeing him, assistant Yun greeted, “Professor Ma.”

Ma Zhaoxing gave a slight nod to assistant Yun and hurried onto the elevator.

After the man left, assistant Yun explained to Bai Lian, “That was Academician Ma’s son, Professor Ma.”

Though Academician Ma had students aplenty, his only son was not outstanding, having no significant achievements in scientific research. He got his professorship largely due to Academician Ma’s influence.

Ever since his college days, Academician Ma had essentially given up on him.

As a result, the relationship between Academician Ma and his family couldn’t be considered good.

Xiaohen parked the car in front of the Academy of Sciences building and asked Wen Zhixia in the back seat, “Miss, is this the place?”

Wen Zhixia was visiting this place for the first time. Although the Academy of Sciences was marked on the map, ordinary vehicles were usually not allowed on this road.

Today was the first time.

She saw Bai Lian exiting the building from afar. The weather had turned hot, and today she wore a simple white linen dress, her skin cold and fair, with wisps of hair longer than her eyes, lazily hanging to the side.

“Here.” Wen Zhixia lowered the rear window and called out to Bai Lian.

Bai Lian got into the car and sent a message to Ming Dongheng that he needn’t come over later.

“I’ll swing by the company on my way back,” Wen Zhixia closed her laptop, handed the milk tea she brought for Bai Lian to her, crossed her legs, and started chatting with Bai Lian, “First, I’ll deliver a document to my second uncle, then go to see your grandfather.”

Wen Zhixia hadn’t paid her New Year’s visit to Ji Heng this year yet. The Wen Family had been urging her to come over, but Bai Lian and Ji Heng had only just returned to Jiangjing.

She finally found an opportunity today, with the trunk filled with supplements and gifts for Ji Heng.

Bai Lian’s fingertips rested on her knees, wearing Bluetooth earphones with her other hand leaning against the car window. Thinking about Academician Ma’s situation, she watched Wen Zhixia sideways and said, “Whatever works.”

Wen Zhixia wanted to ask Bai Lian what brought her to the Academy of Sciences.

But seeing her deep in thought, she didn’t ask further.

They arrived at the Wen Family’s company.

The receptionist quickly activated the private elevator for Wen Zhixia. While pressing the elevator button, the receptionist seemed to recognize Bai Lian, stealing glances at her.

As the elevator doors closed, Wen Zhixia could still hear the receptionist’s almost imperceptible voice, “Seems like that miss from Jiang University…”

Since the last Pen and Ocean event, there had been no news about Bai Lian.

However, because Yan Lu just released a new song last month, “Flat Boat,” its popularity surpassed the previous ones by a large margin.

Exciting clips of Yan Lu from “Great Yong” were brought up again, with most featuring her wielding a long spear. Speaking of long spears, snippets from Jiang University’s Physics Department welcoming party became popular once more.

“If you became a celebrity,” Wen Zhixia turned to Bai Lian and spoke, “you would definitely be more popular than Yan Lu, and I could get you to be the spokesperson for our project.”

Sister Xin had said this countless times before.

Bai Lian made no comment.

“Ding—”

The elevator doors opened to the President’s office floor. Outside the private elevator, a group of people was waiting.

Two men and one woman.

Bai Lian had seen them all before, Le Yuzhang and Lai Chen, and the woman was Wen Zhiwei.

Seeing Bai Lian, all three were surprised but greeted her politely.

Bai Lian crossed her arms and followed behind Wen Zhixia, exuding a relaxed yet languid air of elegance.

Wen Zhixia was there to see her second uncle. Le Yuzhang eyed Wen Zhixia and, after a brief pause, politely invited, “Zhixia, we’re heading to Sijing, would you and your friend like to come along?”

Lai Chen’s expression shifted upon hearing Le Yuzhang invite Wen Zhixia, hesitating before looking at Le Yuzhang, “Yuzhang, this round is arranged by the second miss…”
