Zi Yi asked, “Will you be meeting with that influential figure then?”
“Yes.”
Zi Yi thought for a moment and said, “Then I had better go back to school then. It just so happens that there’s a chemical I need in the School of Science and Technology’s Department. I’ll go and get some from the Dean and try to extract the substance by the afternoon to use it for the robot.”
Lu Jingye thought for a moment and said, “T’ll go over to M.Uni with you.”
Zi Yi slightly widened her eyes. “Hmm? What are you going there for?”
Lu Jingye had smiles in his eyes as he said, “There’s something I need to do.” He then stroked her head and added. “Give me a call when you come out of the laboratory and I’ll come over to pick you up.”
Zi Yi nodded her head and leaned her head on his shoulders once again as she swiped across her phone.
Upon arriving in school, Lu Jingye sent Zi Yi to the School of Science and Technology before he left.
Zi Yi went to look for Dean Zhou first.
As soon as he heard that Zi Yi wanted to use a small quantity of the meteorite in the laboratory, he knew that she definitely planned on researching something and so, he straightforwardly agreed.
“You can, but you have to write a research report on your research subject.”
Zi Yi thought for a moment and nodded her head. “Okay.”
Dean Zhou was happy with the response. He personally gave a call to the person in-charge of the laboratory and informed him about it.
By the time Zi Yi made her way over, the person in-charge was waiting to bring her over to where the meteorite was being kept. It was encased in a special glass box. “Student Zi, how much do you need? I’ll help you get what you need?”
Zi Yi used her hand to give him an estimate of how much of the meteorite she needed. “This much will do.”
“Okay.”
The person in-charge left to find the tools to break off the meteorite, leaving behind Zi Yi alone to stand there and wait.
Just then, she could hear a rushing sound of footsteps from behind, followed by the voice of someone talking. “Many meteorites contain substances and elements that are not found on earth, but most of the radioactive substances within are harmful.”
Zi Yi heard this voice and turned around, only to see a professor around his fifties leading his group of Ph.D. students over.
She hastily made way and stood aside.
The group of people had also seen Zi Yi.
The Ph.D. students whispered with a hint of excitement, “Junior Zi, why have you come to the laboratory of our school?”
“She’s standing next to the meteorite. Could it be that she’s interested in it?”
“She’s too beautiful. I really wish that I could go over and say hello.”
There were a few male students who wanted to greet her and Professor Li had noticed that at a glance. His expression turned serious as he sternly said, “Today’s lesson is very important and you had best give me your full attention.”
Several students who were pecking at Zi Yi quickly looked away and they dared not lose focus.
Professor Li walked over to the special glass container that contained the meteorite and glanced at Zi Yi. He felt that if she remained standing here, she would definitely distract his students and so he said, “Student Zi, if there’s nothing else, please stand to the side. I am going to have a lecture here.”
Zi Yi nodded her head and headed to the side.
Professor Li looked away in satisfaction and said to his group of students, “Everyone, come closer.”
The group of Ph.D. students quickly surrounded him.
Professor Li started to explain to them the substances and elements that they have managed to extract from the meteorite.
Zi Yi stood there and listened. Just then, the person in-charge brought along a small hammer. When he saw that there was a professor giving his students a lecture, he whispered to Zi Yi, “Student Zi, I forgot that a professor would be giving a lecture to his students here today. If you have something else
on, perhaps you can go and get it done first?”
The Dean had personally made a call for him to satisfy all of Zi Yi’s requests and so, he was rather polite to her.
Zi Yi shook her head. “I’l wait here.”
Having said that, she glanced at the small hammer in his hand and reached out. “Pass me the hammer. I’ll get a small part of it myself later.”
The person in-charge thought for a moment and ended up passing the hammer to her. However, he did not forget to remind her. “Break off whatever you need but don’t break off too much of the meteorite.”
After all, meteorites were rather rare, and allowing her to get a small portion of it was already considered treating her very well.
Zi Yi nodded her head. “Okay.”
Professor Li talked for forty minutes before he finally stopped.
As a professor, the knowledge he talked about was definitely much more than that of an undergraduate teacher.
Zi Yi had been listening by the side and when he finally finished his lecture and brought the students to leave, only then did she head over to open the special glass box as she got ready to break off a small piece.
“What are you doing?!” All of a sudden, a shout caused Zi Yi to stop what she was doing.
She tilted her head and looked at Professor Li who had come back. She then retracted her hands and said, “Professor Li, I’m breaking off a small piece of the meteorite to do an experiment.”
Professor Lu furrowed his brows. When he saw a small hammer in Zi Yi’s hand while he was leaving, he already had his doubts about her. He didn’t expect that she would really fool around.
He then walked over to Zi Yi and asked in a stern voice, “What are you researching on? The professors of our school have already done our research on this meteorite and there are also records of the several substances and elements contained within. If you wish to know about it, you can just check the
records.
Do you know how rare this piece of meteorite is? If everyone comes over and gets a small piece of it, then there would be nothing for the students to learn from in the future.”
Zi Yi responded. “I’ve informed Dean Zhou about this and he agreed to it.”
Professor Li originally wanted to continue lecturing her, but he did not say anything else upon hearing Dean Zhou’s name. However, he did not leave immediately and stood there to watch her.
Clearly, he planned to watch her break off a small piece of the meteorite.
Zi Yi looked away and aimed the small hammer at a protruding corner before she knocked it.
However, she was a little heavy-handed and broke off a piece that was as large as a bowl.
Professor Li felt his heart aching. “Why did you break off such a large piece?”
Zi Yi also felt innocent. “I originally planned to break off a small part, but the rest of it just followed by itself.”
Professor Li glared at her.
No matter how he looked at it, he felt that she did it on purpose.
Zi Yi used a plastic bag and put away the piece of meteorite before she closed the special glass box. While Professor Li was glaring at her, she said, “Professor Li, I’ll be leaving first.”
She immediately left after that.
Professor Li looked at Zi Yi who ran away even faster than a rabbit and his frown tightened while he muttered to himself, “The higher ups are allowing a little girl to fool around, aren’t they afraid of spoiling her.”
He headed downstairs with a worried expression.
After obtaining the piece of meteorite, she went to look for the person in-charge to get him to open a special research lab for her.
She had spent a whole three hours inside.
By the time she came out of the research lab, it was almost time for classes to end.
Zi Yi walked to the side and gave Lu Jingye a phone call.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jingye drove over very quickly.
“Ah Jing, why did you arrive so soon?” Zi Yi walked over and opened the door.
“Tve been in M.Uni throughout the entire afternoon.” Lu Jingye said, “Fourth Uncle got me to hold a lecture on his behalf.”
“Hmm? You held a lecture?”
“Yes.”
Zi Yi was a little unhappy. “Why didn’t you tell me in advance? I also want to listen to the lectures that you give.”
“Iwas only giving a lecture to a group of teachers. I’ll inform you in advance when I hold a lecture for students next time.”
“Next time?”
“Yep. Fourth Uncle helped me get a part-time job.”
