After she said that, she pretended to casually ask, “President Nangong, is there anyone sitting in the seat next to you?”
“There isn’t.”
“Then can I take a seat?”
Nangong Yu gestured for her to sit.
Murong You revealed a faint smile and she sat next to Nangong Yu together with the female student she came with.
After she sat down, she acted as if she had only just noticed Zi Yi and asked, “I don’t recall Student Zi having chosen Economics lessons. Why have you come to listen to the open lecture?”
Zi Yi casually answered, “I just felt like it. Could it be that I’m not allowed to?”
Murong You was speechless. She bit her lips and traces of embarrassment flashed across her face. “I don’t mean it like that.”
The female student sitting next to Murong You was unhappy. “Little You merely asked you a question. What’s with your tone of voice?”
Zi Yi took out her phone and simply ignored the two strange people.
Zi Yi did not respond, but the female student was adamant about not letting her off. She crossed her arms and said, “Some people are just jealous that our Little You has more votes than her and so, she is deliberately giving her attitude.”
Zi Yi coldly asked, “How much higher is Murong You’s votes?”
“Why are you pretending to be unaware and as if you’re all so lofty? You-”
“Not everyone is concerned about appearances like you are. Also, not everyone deludes themselves as you do. If we were to compare on appearance, can you find another person who is prettier than me in M.Uni?”
Some people’s confidence would be regarded as arrogance. However, no one could refute what Zi Yi had said.
“If we were to choose the prettiest, Zi Yi is indeed the prettiest female student in M.Uni.”
“That’s right, I don’t even understand what that girl is trying to say.”
Following that, questioning voices could be heard one after another.
Zi Yi glanced at Murong You and the female student next to her who were barely maintaining their expressions and the corner of her lips curled up.
Just then, Murong You glanced at the female student next to her and used her expression to motion for her to keep her mouth shut.
The female student felt discontented, but she still ended up keeping quiet.
It just so happens that Professor Dou walked into the classroom at that point in time.
As soon as he made his way in, the entire classroom quietened down.
He stood on the podium and swept his gaze across the classroom. In the end, he met gazes with Zi Yi for a second before he started today’s lecture.
“I believe that as a student studying Economics, everyone should already know about what happened last night. What I am going to teach you today is…”
Professor Dou’s lecture today covered the relationship between the economic system between each country, as well as the conditions and powerful capabilities required to initiate a worldwide economic war.
The majority of the students listened attentively and only Murong You along with the female student sitting next to Nangong Yu could not keep up.
The female student glanced at Zi Yi who was concentrating on the lesson and clicked her tongue, while she whispered sarcastically, “She’s so good at pretending as if she is really knowledgeable in everything!”
Murong You glanced at her but did not say anything.
Clearly, she agreed with what she had said.
Just then, Professor Dou suddenly said, “It seems like some people are not interested in my lecture today.”
As soon as Professor Dou said that, the group of students were surprised.
It had to be known that Professor Dou was a gold medal professor in the School of Economics. Not only were his lectures vivid, but he used the latest examples in every lecture, allowing them to benefit greatly. Even seniors and Ph.D. students would fight to attend his lecture.
And yet, someone was uninterested?
Everyone subconsciously turned to look at Zi Yi, Murong You, and the female student.
If there was really someone who was uninterested in Professor Dou’s lesson, then it would be the three of them who were from other majors.
Professor Dou glanced at the three of them. “The three female students sitting next to Student Nangong seem to be unfamiliar faces. Since you’re here to listen to my lecture, you should have heard of my habit. I will often interact with the students in my class… Well, among the three of you, one of you shall tell me the impact of last night’s incident on the whole world’s economy.”
As soon as he said that, everyone in the room looked at them with a sympathetic gaze.
Even students who majored in Economics were unable to clearly explain the relationship and yet, Professor Dou wanted them to explain?
The female student sitting next to Murong You instantly wilted. She tried her best to shrink her neck and lower her sense of presence.
Murong You’s expression merely changed ever so slightly. During such a situation with everyone looking, the more she could not openly show her ignorance. Otherwise, she would be regarded as inferior compared to Zi Yi.
Thinking of this, she quietly glanced at Zi Yi who was sitting there with a calm expression. Her mind quickly thought of something and she said with a sincere expression, “Professor Dou, Zi Yi is knowledgeable in everything and I think that she must have her own personal opinions on this topic. Why don’t you let her stand up and talk about it first?”
Zi Yi tilted her head and looked towards her as she asked with a calm expression. “If I talk about my opinion, will you say yours too?”
Murong You was stunned for a moment. Everyone was looking at her right now and she could not possibly make a fool out of herself. In the end, she nodded. “Of course.”
Zi Yi nodded her head. She stood up and immediately started to speak.
The moment she started to speak, everyone’s expression turned serious and even Professor Dou was the same.
In particular, when she was talking about deeper topics, Professor Dou even had a discussion with her.
After Zi Yi was done, everyone was so shocked that they forgot to react.
Professor Dou nodded his head in satisfaction. He thought that Lu Jingye must have explained it to her last night for her to have such a deep understanding of this. He was even more satisfied with Lu Jingye deep down and thought that after his injuries have healed, it would also be good to help him get a job in M.Uni, so that the two youngsters can live well. On the surface, he praised her. “Student Zi’s views are very unique and hit the nail on the head. Good job.”
Zi Yi still had that calm expression on her face. She tilted her head and looked at Murong You. “Student Murong, it’s your turn.”
Murong You was startled. “I…”
“You don’t know?” Zi Yi did not give her a chance to find an excuse. “Professor Dou’s lecture covers mainly on economics and it’s normal for you to not understand. However… since you don’t understand, why did you agree to say your view after I said mine?”
“I-”
“Could it be that you are purposely trying to see me embarrass myself from not being able to say anything?”
“No…”
“Sorry to have disappointed you… But then again… I have to say that you have not disappointed me.”
Zi Yi’s tone of voice was so calm, it was as if she was having a casual conversation with Murong You. However, every single word of hers made Murong You unable to refute.
Everyone looked at Zi Yi and felt that she was an expert in arguments and debates. Moreover, it was those types of statements that hit the nail on the head that could cause the opponent to suffer badly.
Professor Dou looked at his niece who was good with her words. He had exerted a great deal of effort to control the corner of his lips from curling up.
He was relieved as long as she did not get bullied by others.
Murong You felt extremely embarrassed right now and wished that she could leave right away. However, there were many people around her watching the situation, and not to mention, the guy she liked was sitting right beside her. If she really left, it would be even more humiliating. Therefore, she could only sit there with a flushed expression and endure it.
From this incident on, she hated Zi Yi even more.. Since she had caused her such great embarrassment today, she would definitely return the favor one day.
