Chapter 344: You’re Only a Freshman and Why Are You Acting so Arrogantly?”
Li Peirong gasped for breath out of anxiousness as she constantly urged the driver to drive faster. Moreover, she said in an angry tone, “Xuanxuan, don’t be afraid. I will be arriving at your school soon. If someone dares to bully you, I will get revenge for you!”
When Li Peirong managed to fetch Zi Xuan, she was unwilling to reveal the slightest bit of information regardless of how Li Peirong asked her.
After they returned to the apartment, Zi Xuan directly headed to the study room. Li Peirong had also tagged along, but Zi Xuan pushed her outside and said hysterically, “I want to study. I’m not going anywhere on New Year’s Eve. I want to stay at home and study.”
Li Peirong knew that her daughter must have suffered some sort of grievance and she was infuriated. She then thought of Hua Xiaoli and hastily gave her a call.
…
After Zi Yi walked out from the crowd, her phone suddenly rang and someone called out to her from behind.
Zi Yi turned to look behind, only to see Chu Xuan and a girl she was unfamiliar with. She pursed her lips and took out her phone.
The phone call was from Dou Xiangling.
Zi Yi glanced at the two of them making their way over and answered the call.
Yu Xuan who wanted to speak could only wait for her to finish the call.
Dou Xiangling had something to do and left halfway through the entrance ceremony. The moment she got hold of the fact that someone went to cause trouble for Zi Yi, she immediately gave her a call.
Zi Yi told her. “Cousin, don’t worry about me. I’ve already settled the problem. They’re only one or two insignificant buffoons.”
When Dou Xiangling saw the recording uploaded over the school’s forum, she did not think of it as such. “Yiyi, I feel that your younger sister will definitely inform your stepmother about this.”
Speaking of this, Dou Xiangling seemed to have hesitated for a moment before she continued to say, “Yiyi, I feel that your stepmother isn’t a kind person. You have to be careful of her.”
To be honest, Zi Yi did not pay any attention to Li Peirong. But since Dou Xiangling had even specially come to warn her of it, she decided to pay some attention to Li Peirong. “Alright, I will be careful. You should go and do your thing.”
They will be heading abroad tomorrow and Dou Xiangling was indeed really busy. After they finished the conversation, they ended the phone call.
Zi Yi put away her phone and looked towards Chu Xuan and Yu Xuan. With a cold expression, she said, “I’ve said that I won’t be partic.i.p.ating in any programs.”
Yu Xuan revealed her straight front teeth and said with a sincere tone, “Junior Zi, we know that it’s too much to suddenly request for you to partic.i.p.ate, but the mysterious guest we invited is suddenly unable to come today. Thus, we wish that you can help to save the day. At that time, you’ll only have to display some of your skills.”
Zi Yi coldly looked at Yu Xuan.
Yu Xuan felt slightly unhappy deep down. In fact, she did not strongly wish for Zi Yi to partic.i.p.ate in tonight’s event. If it were not for Chu Xuan insisting on it and even promising her benefits, she would not lower herself to grovel before a freshman.
After all, this was M.Uni and the event would be broadcasted live through the education channel.
Zi Yi’s appearance was indeed eye-catching, and she had even taken first place in the independent enrollment exam. However, compared to her, everyone would only know of the top scorer of the college entrance examination.
Not to mention, she had gone out her way to persuade her but Zi Yi did not even bother to give her any face.
Yu Xuan controlled her expression and said, “I heard that Junior Zi’s painting skills are superb. Why don’t you complete a piece of painting as part of the program?”
“You heard?” Zi Yi looked towards Chu Xuan and narrowed her eyes.
Chu Xuan said with a slight smile, “I just happen to be acquainted with Elder Gu. He was the one who told me this.”
Elder Gu was one of the members of the Painting and Calligraphy a.s.sociation.
Having said that, he also told Yu Xuan, “Junior Zi is not only skilled in painting, she is also a member of the Painting and Calligraphy a.s.sociation.”
Yu Xuan looked at Zi Yi in surprise. “Is that true?”
Zi Yi tightened her lips and did not answer her question.
Yu Xuan’s opinion of her suddenly changed. “Since that’s the case, we can reveal Junior Zi’s ident.i.ty as a member of the Painting and Calligraphy a.s.sociation. The effects would definitely be better.”
Zi Yi looked at Yu Xuan who was talking to herself. The corner of her lips curled up and she repeated what she had said earlier. “I will not partic.i.p.ate.”
“Why?” the both of them asked at the same time.
“Because I don’t like the feeling of being forced to do something by others.”
Having said that, she walked past them and continued to head forward.
The moment she left, Yu Xuan’s expression darkened.
She said angrily, “If you don’t want to partic.i.p.ate, then don’t. You’re only a freshman, so why are you acting so arrogantly?”
Chu Xuan looked towards Yu Xuan and shook his head.
Yu Xuan was displeased with his actions. “What’s with that expression of yours?”
Chu Xuan looked at Zi Yi’s departing back and said in a casual tone, “Could it be that I didn’t tell you about this? Other than being a member of the Painting and Calligraphy a.s.sociation, she is also the granddaughter of Dean Dou.”
“What?!”
After Yu Xuan learned of this news, she was first surprised before she felt joy.
If I were to get along well with Zi Yi, perhaps I may be able to stay in M.Uni when the time comes.
At the thought of this, her att.i.tude changed and she guaranteed him. “Rest a.s.sured, I will definitely find a way to let her agree to partic.i.p.ate in tonight’s event.”
Having said that, she chased in the direction where Zi Yi left.
Chu Xuan looked at her back view and reminded her, “Junior Zi might have headed to the School of Mechanical Engineering Building!”
“Got it.”
…
Zi Yi did head over there, but Yu Xuan was doomed not to be able to locate her.
As soon as she arrived at the building, she encountered several familiar faces who were heading out from the building.
“Junior, you’re finally here. Let’s go! Come over and take a look at the robots we have recently designed.”
Zi Yi headed into the building together with them and asked on the way, “Is Professor Dou there too?”
“He’s there. He was the one who got us to fetch you.”
Zi Yi nodded and followed them inside.
The few of them headed to one of the production rooms and opened the door. Immediately, Zi Yi saw a robot about the height of an adult.
Dou Xiaoyong was currently standing before the robot as he keyed in some codes.
Zi Yi made her way over and looked at the robot in front of her. She did not speak up immediately.
Dou Xiaoyong glanced at her and continued to type his codes.
It was only a while later did Dou Xiaoyong finish typing.
One of the guys standing behind Zi Yi said, “Junior, this is the robot we’ve spent around a month or so to create. Isn’t it cool?”
Zi Yi nodded. “It’s cool.”
The group of students chuckled.
Dou Xiaoyong said grumpily, “You still have the cheek to brag in front of Little Zi? Could it be that you’ve forgotten about the difficulties you encountered during the process of creating this robot?”
The several male students continued to chuckle.
Dou Xiaoyong looked towards Zi Yi and said to her, “Little Zi, this robot is specially ordered by a company. Its main function is for patrolling. Come and take a look at it.”
Zi Yi nodded and opened the control panel to take a look.
A while later, she said, “If this is for a normal company, this robot is considered good.”
The smile on the male student’s face had turned brighter.
Dou Xiaoyong had also said with a smile, “Since Little Zi said that it’s okay, then it can be considered that you’ve pa.s.sed!”
“Yes!” A few of them did a winning pose.
Zi Yi and Dou Xiaoyong headed in a direction.
Dou Xiaoyong asked her about her experience at the military training.
Zi Yi said, “It was pretty okay.”
Several male students came over and asked, “Junior Zi, we heard that a few days after you arrived at the camp, you were transferred to the military dog’s training camp. Is that true?”
“Yeah, it is true.”
