Chapter 116 Impoverished and Destitute at the Capital University
Su Yuchen looked at Yun Yao, a slight smile appearing on his lips. He put down his wine glass and asked calmly, "What exactly did you want to see me about?"
Yun Yao glanced at Su Yuchen, inwardly scoffing. She had originally wanted to listen to Luo Hong and get along well with him, but now it seemed better to give up. She was afraid of becoming the first god in the world to be angered to death by humans.
"It's alright now," Yun Yao said, then stood up and prepared to leave.
She came and went in a hurry; Yun Yao's behavior tonight was very strange.
Su Yuchen couldn't help but raise his hand and grasp her wrist. His hand, with its distinct knuckles, landed on Yun Yao's slender wrist, and he could feel the warmth of his hand even through her clothes.
Yun Yao stopped in her tracks, momentarily lost in thought.
His movements were hardly gentle; in fact, they were somewhat forceful.
Su Yuchen realized his lapse in composure and quickly withdrew his hand.
"You've been expelled from Imperial University. What are your plans now? If you want to continue your studies, I can help you make arrangements." Su Yuchen directly changed the subject.
Little did they know that the words spoken in a moment of panic could reveal a person's true feelings.
Yun Yao's earlier displeasure vanished completely. She gently rubbed her wrist, a hint of a smile appearing in her eyes.
With her back to him, a slightly cheerful voice rang out: "President Su is so busy, yet you still remember my affairs. That's very thoughtful of you."
"I……"
"No need to explain! I understand!" Yun Yao said with a smile.
Taunted by her, Su Yuchen stopped making pointless explanations, stood up, and looked at her slightly thin back, saying, "I gave you your things as a gift today, so I owe you one. It's only right that I help you arrange a school."
Upon hearing Su Yuchen's words, Yun Yao's expression gradually darkened.
Just because he took your things?
"You don't need to worry about it! Someone will take care of everything for me!" Yun Yao said angrily, then slammed the door and left.
Su Yuchen felt completely bewildered, turned off the lights, and went upstairs to rest...
As Yun Yao stood at the door watching the light in his bedroom go out, a flame flickered in her palm.
Tsk, I really want to raze his villa to the ground!
……
In the long night, some people are unable to sleep. Besides men, career and reputation are equally important. As soon as Yun Yao returned to the Yun family, she began to study how to get back at them.
It's truly shameful that our ancestors have fallen to such a low point, despised by everyone. No one else can be relied upon; in crucial moments, you still have to rely on yourself.
[Step 1: Lead Beijing Normal University to surpass Imperial University and become the top university in China!]
Yun Yao wrote down this line and patted the notebook in a good mood.
Let's start with you!
However, ideals are full and reality is skinny.
Even if she is an ancestor, she still has to follow the rules and laws of this world.
The next day, at Peking University.
“Miss Yun, as you can see, our school can’t withstand any more disruption. I don’t expect it to be outstanding; I just want it to have a foothold in the capital!” Principal Luo Yu shook his head, his refusal quite clear.
Yun Yao: "..." I miscalculated.
A few years ago, Beijing Normal University was at its peak, and Luo Yu's upright and incorruptible nature offended many people. Now that it has declined, it is naturally being targeted by other universities. It is understandable that he dares not accept him, this troublemaker.
Yun Yao was not a selfish person and did not want to force anyone to do something against their will.
"Principal Luo, I'm sorry, I called..."
Before Yun Yao could even utter the words "I'm sorry to bother you," the office phone suddenly rang.
After offering a brief apology, Luo Yu hurriedly answered the call, and Yun Yao nodded in response before turning to leave.
"I'm afraid this... isn't appropriate?"
"it is good."
"Okay, then it's settled."
As Yun Yao closed the door, she heard Luo Yu's voice.
"Miss Yun, please wait!" Luo Yu chased after her, running all the way.
Yun Yao looked at him with some confusion and asked, "Principal Luo, is there anything else?"
"Miss Yun, I agree to your enrollment!"
Yun Yao was invited into Luo Yu's office again, but his attitude was completely different from before.
"Miss Yun, although our school's archaeology department isn't as good as those of top universities, it's still a little stronger than the archaeology department at Imperial University. I wonder if you..."
"I won't choose archaeology."
Luo Yu was stunned for a moment, but immediately realized what was happening.
In his eyes, Yun Yao was just a student, but in reality, her professional level had already been recognized by the Chinese Historical Society. If she were to go to the archaeology department, it would be a real waste of her talent.
"then you?"
"I choose physics and finance," Yun Yao said calmly.
Luo Yu gave Yun Yao a meaningful look and pushed up his glasses.
"Miss Yun, are you planning to pursue a double degree?"
Yun Yao nodded, her face still showing a calm and composed expression.
Luo Yu is now somewhat regretful, but he can't go back on his word.
“Miss Yun, do you know how difficult it is to pursue a double degree? Not only does it require talent, but it also requires a lot of time and energy to be devoted to studying. As far as I know, you don’t seem to like staying on campus and studying.”
Yun Yao: "..." It's true what they say, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast!
"Principal, I love learning."
In the end, Luo Yu still kept Yun Yao, but instead of having her study physics and finance simultaneously as she had suggested, he made her major in archaeology and minor in finance.
Luo Yu made concessions, and Yun Yao couldn't press him any further, so she had no choice but to go back to her old ways! However... she was very curious about who had called and made him change his mind so quickly.
……
As described online, Peking University is exceptionally desolate and impoverished. Burdened by enormous debt, the once glorious top university now only has these three teaching buildings left, making it seem... quite low-class.
With the idea of "since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it," Yun Yao went to the archaeology department.
Unlike Imperial University, none of the teachers here have offices. They leave work when get out of class is over, and you can hardly find them anywhere else.
As soon as Yun Yao entered the teaching building, all the heads that had been poking out disappeared. There was no whispering; instead, there were only puzzled stares.
They didn't have time to gossip; they were just curious why this young mistress of the Su family had come to their poor, lowly university, Beijing Normal University. Was she really unable to make it there? Or was it true, as the internet said, that she had already been disliked by Su Yuchen?
Just as they were racking their brains trying to figure it out, Yun Yao greeted them generously, and they responded very politely.
The students who can stay at Beijing Normal University are all from poor families, but are excellent in both character and academics. They come from the bottom and know the bitterness of being targeted and pointed at. Therefore, they will not easily judge anyone. In their eyes, people are born equal.
Compared to the scheming and competitive atmosphere at Imperial University, Yun Yao preferred the ambiance here and hoped that Beijing Normal University could bring her some surprises.
As soon as Yun Yao stepped into the classroom, deafening applause erupted, even startling Yun Yao for a moment.
"Welcome new members!"
This class of just over ten students managed to create the impression of having hundreds of students.
Are all the teachers and students at Beijing Normal University this enthusiastic?
"Thank you," Yun Yao returned the greeting with a slight nod.
"This gentleman is probably familiar to everyone. I won't take up any more of your class time. Let's continue with the topic we were discussing," the teacher on the stage said.
Yun Yao took her seat and looked around at the study habits of the dozen or so people.
No wonder Luo Yu was so confident. The archaeological team from Beijing Normal University was indeed much stronger than that from Imperial University. Even the teachers on the stage were more advanced than Wu Chen and his team.
She is looking forward to her upcoming studies...
