Chapter 462: Using Abilities to Smack Someone Across Their Face
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Everyone around them only recalled Zi Yi’s relations.h.i.+p with the Dou Family after Dou Xiangling had said that.
Zi Yi was either too low-key or too arrogant. She had never made use of the Dou Family name to do anything in school. Therefore, everyone would automatically overlook her relations.h.i.+p with the Dou Family. All of them ended up keeping their mouths shut.
Just then, a male student from Murong You’s side raised his voice and shouted, “Zi Yi, are you thinking of cheating by making use of your relations.h.i.+p with the Dou Family?”
Someone else said, “This is M.Uni, and don’t think that you’re all so great just because you have a few uncles who are professors. Just admit it if you’re incapable, to think that you even purposely came up with this idea. I think that your overconfidence has clouded your mind. Be careful of hitting yourself in the face.”
Zi Yi coldly glanced at the two individuals who shouted and suddenly looked at Nangong Yu. “Does the Student Union President have the authority to invite a few foreign professors for a conversation?”
Nangong Yu looked at Zi Yi with a complicated look and nodded. “Yes.”
Zi Yi then checked the time and said to him, “There are some professors who have yet to rest for the day. You can try sending them a message one by one.”
“Isn’t it too troublesome?”
Sending them a message one by one? Feels like it would be troublesome.
Zi Yi could not be bothered by their gazes on her. She took out her phone and swiped around for a while. Soon, strings of codes appeared on the television screen in the canteen.
Those who noticed the screen changing exclaimed. “Oh my! What has happened to the screen?”
Everyone else turned to look in that direction.
Some computer science students immediately understood what was going on. “To think Student Zi is writing a program. This program can send invitations according to the names and t.i.tles of the professors based on the school they taught in. In that case, there’s no need to manually send them invitations one by one.”
Another student added on. “The program will only send a message if the other party is still on their computer. That’s to say, if the professor has closed their computer or is already resting, the email will not be sent to them.”
Upon hearing that, everyone looked at Zi Yi with surprised gazes.
“Zi Yi can actually code? Isn’t she too amazing?”
“I thought that she only knew how to make robots.”
“She’s also very skilled in medicine!”
Everyone started to speak aloud their admiration for Zi Yi and many of them looked at her with excited gazes.
Murong You’s expression turned ugly when she heard what the two computer science students said.
Right now, their gazes towards Zi Yi had changed and she felt on edge.
However, at the thought that she was fluent in three different foreign languages, no matter how capable Zi Yi was, it was impossible for her to have mastered so many languages. In the end, her expression smoothened out.
Zi Yi said to Nangong Yu, “I’ve already locked onto a few professors who have yet to rest for the day. You can use your account to send them an email.”
Nangong Yu looked at the screen and took out his phone to login using his student identification number. Following that, he used his authority as the Student Union President and typed out the emails quickly.
The email appeared on the large screen.
Nangong Yu’s email sounded modest and it also adhered to the etiquette of the professors’ specific countries.
Zi Yi took a quick glance and directly sent out the email.
Everyone stared at the screen and they were somehow feeling nervous.
Murong You was also staring at the screen. She was thinking about what to say with these professors over the phone.
In order to be qualified as a volunteer, she had specially looked through books related to economics over the past few days.
Even though her knowledge of economics was not as in-depth as was required to understand the lecture Professor Dou had given earlier in the day, she was definitely able to answer general questions.
Just as everyone was holding their breaths, there were several notification sounds.
This sound continued for a few seconds.
“There are really professors who replied!”
“Moreover, there are a few of them!”
Zi Yi opened the emails one by one.
The professors who replied had all accepted Nangong Yu’s invitation.
Zi Yi looked at Murong You and said without the slightest hint of kindness, “If you lose, you better control that fan group of yours. Also, don’t appear before me as and when you like. I’m a busy person and I don’t have time to play such boring games like rivaling for the affection of a man.”
Murong You felt as if she was being looked down upon and humiliated; her face turned red.
She glared at Zi Yi with flames of fury in her eyes and she sneered. “Zi Yi, I shall give you a piece of advice. Don’t be too overconfident in yourself and you better not have wishful thinking towards things that aren’t yours.”
“I will never have wishful thinking towards what I have no interest in.”
Zi Yi’s answer was very straightforward and the spectators around them could not help but start whispering among themselves.
At this moment, Zi Yi connected with the professors through a video call.
When the professors from three different countries appeared before everyone in six different boxes, everyone shut their mouths and stood upright at the same time. They faced the professors with their best posture.
Nangong Yu communicated with the professors using the universal language and introduced Zi Yi and Murong You at the same time.
The professors were surprised when they saw such a big crowd of people on the other side of the video.
When they saw Zi Yi and Murong You, they were stunned by the former’s appearance. One of the professors who had a red beard praised her. “It’s said that the capital has beautiful women. Sure enough, this is true.”
Murong You immediately smiled and replied with a gentle and confident voice. “Thank you for your praise.”
The red-bearded professor glanced at Murong You and nodded with a smile.
The professors were all busy and they did not continue to chit-chat for long. Another professor asked straightforwardly, “In the email, Student Nangong mentioned that there are two female students who plan to exchange pointers in terms of oral fluency. I wish to ask, are they both majoring in economics?”
“Nope.”
Zi Yi and Murong You answered at the same time.
The professors were all silent for a moment.
Zi Yi spoke up. “Dear professors, you can simply converse with me on topics related to economics. There’s no need to go easy on us.”
The professors looked at Zi Yi with a surprised gaze.
They admired her confidence. “Confident women are the prettiest.”
How could Murong You feel comfortable when she heard that? In the end, she also spoke up. “We are asking for your help due to the student volunteer slot for the Global Economic Forum. Volunteers must be knowledgeable in several languages and have a foundation in economics at the same time.”
As soon as Murong You said that, the professors all understood the situation.
On their side of the screen were seven boxes and the professors could all view each other whilst viewing the two young women.
They had a brief exchange with each other.
Following that, the red-bearded professor said, “Alright then, we shall converse for fifteen minutes. Among the two of you, as long as one of you can communicate with us smoothly, it shall be considered your win.”
Another professor added on. “We will communicate with you using our native language. Please communicate with us through our native language too.”
Zi Yi and Murong You expressed that they had no problem with it.
Thus, the eight of them started to communicate through the video call.
The questions that were raised at the start were considered easy, as they were all based on entry-level knowledge. Murong You already had plans to do well and as soon as they finished asking the question, she rushed to answer.
The professors were considered rather satisfied with her answer and would occasionally nod. “Your answer was pretty good.”
Murong You was elated.
Her fan group cheered in response.
The other spectators were all worried about Zi Yi, as they did not know if the reason she hadn’t answered was because she did not manage to s.n.a.t.c.h the question or if she had deliberately chosen not to speak out.
Just then, the red-bearded professor also noticed that Zi Yi had not answered a single question and so, he asked, “Student Zi, why didn’t you answer any questions?”
