He knew himself well enough. So, was it Chancellor Liao or Zhao Caihua who was responsible for this?

No, this question wasn’t important. The main point was, why did the chancellor change his attitude after picking up Austin’s call and firmly say that Sheng Yang was the one who completed the thesis?

Could it be…

Ji Qingming suddenly turned his head to look at Sheng Yang, who was still as calm as ever. He was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out.

Chancellor Liao’s calm and steady voice slowly sounded. “You guessed right, it was Austin who testified for Sheng Yang.”

“She…” Ji Qingming was so terrified that he could hardly breathe.

He had taken advantage of weak students countless times, but this time… he had met a tough opponent!

It was inconvenient for Austin to say too much, and Chancellor Liao did not ask too much either. However, everyone was smart and knew what was going on.

What made them even more speechless was that Yuan Xinran, who had been quietly sitting on the sofa of her own accord, had suddenly become a little obedient.

She stared at Sheng Yang. What a godly move!

“Sheng Yang, please wait!” Zhao Caihua stopped Sheng Yang and Yuan Xinran as they walked out of the office.

Zhao Caihua stared at Sheng Yang with a burning gaze as though she had many questions to ask. “Sheng Yang, can we talk somewhere else?”

“No,” Sheng Yang replied straightforwardly, not wanting to waste any more time.

However, Yuan Xinran walked away. She respected Academician Zhao, and she couldn’t be like Sheng Yang.

When there was no one around, Zhao Caihua asked naturally, “Are you Cheng Min?”

Sheng Yang glanced at her, not hiding anything. “Yes.”

Zhao Caihua took a deep breath. Even though she had already expected this, hearing her admit it personally was still quite shocking.

Judging from their age difference, she could be considered an old friend to Sheng Yang..

However, age was a small issue. To be able to become friends, the key was their mental compatibility.

Zhao Caihua smiled. “I’m Seven.”

Sheng Yang glanced at her. She was shocked. Her gold card was given by Academician Zhao.

After the two of them revealed their identities, the distance between them disappeared.

Unexpectedly, Sheng Yang looked at her and said, “Let’s go.”

Zhao Caihua was overwhelmed with shock and disbelief. “Where?”

“I’ll buy you dinner.”

Zhao Caihua smiled. Sheng Yang was really interesting. Previously, she had used her identity as Academician Zhao to invite her for a meal, but Sheng Yang didn’t give her any face.

Now that Sheng Yang knew she was her long-time friend, she took the initiative to invite her.

What a straightforward person.

Not bad, she liked it!

Yuan Xinran hadn’t left yet. She had been waiting for Sheng Yang. She was sure that Sheng Yang wouldn’t talk to Academician Zhao for long. As expected, not long after, the two of them walked over from behind her.

Sheng Yang said to Yuan Xinran, “You can go back first. I’m going out to eat with Academician Zhao.”

Yuan Xinran: “???”

‘Sheng Yang, you changed so quickly.’

However, she kept her eyes on Academician Zhao. She was more curious about what the two of them had said to make Sheng Yang change her mind!

***

Sheng Yang and Academician Zhao walked side by side on campus, attracting a lot of attention.

After all, such a combination was very strange.

Academician Zhao was an internationally renowned figure.

But Sheng Yang was a nobody, a freshman.

The way Sheng Yang looked at Academician Zhao was without the slightest respect. The two of them were like peers, and the friendship between them was as calm as water.

This relationship was even stranger!
