Chapter 691: 690: Restarting Two Major Laboratory Projects

Watching Wen Xin’s receding figure, Dong Shunian gently tugged at Diwu Qixian’s sleeve, “Hey, I think your friend is a bit strange, I don’t know if you’ve noticed that during class, the content she writes in her books is deeper than what the teacher explains.”

During class, Dong Shunian always found himself inadvertently wanting to take a look at Wen Xin. After he clearly saw the notes in Wen Xin’s book, he was bewildered. He felt that even teachers might not be able to fully understand those notes.

Diwu Qixian, seeing Dong Shunian’s astonished expression, nodded slightly. She took out a book from her backpack, which was the one Wen Xin had just used in class.

“That’s right, inadvertently, I switched my book with Wen Xin’s. Let’s go to the library and see the notes in her book. I also found them too profound, simply incomprehensible.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Diwu Qixian and Dong Shunian, looking at Wen Xin’s book, felt as if they had discovered a treasure. They believed Wen Xin’s brain was a treasure trove. They already found it challenging to absorb this knowledge, and the fact that Wen Xin could even expand on it was utterly unbelievable, wasn’t it?

Thus, the two of them quickened their pace unconsciously as they walked towards the library, eager to fully understand the expanded content in Wen Xin’s book.

Wen Xin walked into the administration building of Jingda University. She did not head to the office of the physics department, nor to the office of the biology department, but straight towards the office of the principal of Jingda University.

Wen Xin stood outside the principal’s office door and gently knocked three times. Soon, a deep voice came from inside the office, “Come in.”

Wen Xin, holding her textbooks in her arms, pushed the door and entered. Upon seeing Wen Xin, the principal of Jingda University unconsciously paused for a moment, seemingly surprised that Wen Xin had come to his office.

“Student Wen… what brings you here today? Come in, have a seat.” Principal Lu stood up from behind his desk, walked around, came out from behind his desk, and went to the seating area, signaling Wen Xin to sit down.

Wen Xin, without any hesitation, sat down opposite President Lu.

“President Lu, I came today to discuss the situation with the biology and physics laboratories. I know Dean Ma might have already mentioned this to you.”

“Previously, because of funding issues, this plan was not implemented, but now funding is no longer a problem. I would like to restart Jingda’s biology and physics labs, to cultivate talent early for the research institute and prevent talent drain.”

President Lu, hearing Wen Xin’s words, looked utterly shocked. He could hardly believe what Wen Xin was saying, knowing that in recent years the research institute hadn’t had any profitable projects and was merely maintaining a break-even status.

Now, if they were to blindly start Jingda’s two major laboratories, it would be another significant expenditure for the research institute. He wondered if anyone would agree.

“Student Wen, I think you shouldn’t be discussing this with me but should discuss with Dean Ma, after all… regarding the funding, it’s still Dean Ma who has the final say.”

President Lu looked troubled as he gazed at Wen Xin. If it had been Ma Wenyuan discussing this with him today, he might have been more receptive. But now, with Wen Xin suggesting it, he found it hard to take seriously, after all, she was just a young girl.

Noticing what President Lu might be thinking, Wen Xin smiled faintly, took a bank card from her pocket, and placed it in front of President Lu.

“President Lu, even if Dean Ma came, he wouldn’t be able to solve this. But it’s different with me. Maybe I don’t have the final say in the research institute, but I do have a say in the labs. I hope you can cooperate with me.”

Wen Xin pushed the bank card forward on the coffee table towards Principal Lu, “Principal Lu, here is ten billion in funds. Jingda’s two major laboratories can restart now, and I’ll leave the follow-up matters to you, Principal Lu!”

Principal Lu’s words left Principal Lu in shock, his eyes widening in an instant as he shakily pointed at the card on the table, “What… what did you say? T…ten billion? Wen Xin, where… where did you get so much money? You aren’t joking, are you?”

Principal Lu stammered, unable to believe what he had just heard. He felt like he was dreaming and unconsciously pinched his thigh to make sure this was real.

Wen Xin watched Principal Lu’s actions and smiled gently, “The money is real, and you don’t need to worry about where it came from. Three months… would three months be enough? After the New Year we can start recruiting for our laboratory, right? For issues with professors and researchers, you can consult Dean Ma, he’ll resolve them for you.”

“Enough, enough, rest assured, I’ll form a team right away to handle this!” Principal Lu said, rubbing his leg that he had pinched too hard, while giving Wen Xin a silly smile.

“Then I’ll leave it to you, Principal Lu. I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving now.” Wen Xin finished speaking, picked up her book, and stood up. She needed to go back to her dormitory to check some things.

“Alright, alright, if you have things to do, go ahead…” Principal Lu also stood up, following Wen Xin’s movements and walked her to the office door.

Just as Wen Xin opened the office door, Principal Lu suddenly remembered something and forcefully pushed the door closed.

Wen Xin, not understanding why Principal Lu would make such a move, turned around with a puzzled look on her face and asked, “Principal Lu, what’s wrong?”

“That… that… wait a minute, you haven’t told me the password for the card…” Principal Lu seemed to realize that his actions were a bit too enthusiastic and he awkwardly stepped back, looking embarrassed.

Seeing Principal Lu’s embarrassed and sheepish expression, Wen Xin gently smiled, and with a light tone, she pointed towards the direction of the bank card and lifted her chin slightly.

“The last six digits of the card.”

“Okay, okay, now you can leave, you can leave now!” Principal Lu obsequiously opened the office door for Wen Xin, respectfully seeing her off.

Wen Xin looked at Principal Lu’s manner and couldn’t help but smile, wondering how she had never realized that Principal Lu was such an amusing person. It was truly very interesting.

As Wen Xin was coming down the stairs, she saw the portly Zhuge Jingming walking in from outside, with no one following behind him.

Zhuge Jingming’s eyes brightened instantly when he saw Wen Xin; he quickly walked over to her.

“Wen Xin, I just happened to run into you, I was just about to call you…”

Wen Xin narrowed her eyes at Zhuge Jingming, knowing without guessing what he was thinking. She took a step back, increasing the distance between them.

“Are you interested again in the prescription Ling Yichen brought for you? That prescription isn’t suitable for everyone, only for Old Master Ling. Don’t get any funny ideas; just stick to selling your pills and forget about the rest!”
