Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots-Chapter 426 - 281 Someone wants to challenge Ye Jie!_3

As it happened, Academician Fu had just come out too.

Academician Li glanced at the radiant Academician Fu and lifted his chin, "Old Fu, you’ve just got a good student, huh? Look at you, all smug. I’m telling you, my student here is not a bit inferior to yours. Don’t forget, both of them got full marks in the written exam."

Academician Fu hissed: "How come you can’t get rid of this habit of picking fights after so many years? Which eye of yours saw me being smug? Just mind your own student."

Shen Zhiqiao came out afterwards, and upon seeing her, Academician Li immediately smiled, "Qiaoqiao, I heard your brother’s hospital also opened today?" ƒreewebɳovel.com

He deliberately said it for Academician Fu to hear.

Shen Zhiqiao replied, "Yes."

Academician Li nodded in approval, "I made a special point of learning about it yesterday. Even though it’s a private hospital and has introduced a lot of equipment not available domestically, the fees are very reasonable. If the hospital ever needs my help, feel free to ask."

"Thank you, Academician Li," Shen Zhiqiao said with honor, "Helping more people in need has always been my brother’s business philosophy."

Academician Li sighed upon hearing this, "These days, it’s not easy for a businessman to be like your brother."

While they were talking, a few researchers came out of Academician Fu’s office, discussing Xia Ye’s experimental methods.

"The junior sister really has a neat hand in experiments, steady even when injecting."

"Yeah, after she finished, I was too ashamed to start, afraid that someone new would outdo one of us old-timers in the team."

Seeing that Academician Li and his group had walked away, Shen Zhiqiao stepped forward and asked with concern, "The junior sister you were talking about is called Xia Ye, right?"

"Yeah," the researchers were stunned for a moment and then realized, "Oh, you’re from the same school as Xia Ye, right? We have an impression of you too."

Shen Zhiqiao’s frown was barely perceptible.

To say Xia Ye’s name without hesitation, but only have an ’impression’ of her?

If this were the past, such a thing would never have happened. In the past, wherever she went, she was the center of attention, and all those beside her would only serve as a background.

Shen Zhiqiao originally just wanted to ask casually, but upon hearing the researchers’ words, she couldn’t suppress the emotions within her anymore.

She scoffed, "Don’t praise her too highly; after all, you’ve only known her for one day."

Huang Yan caught the unusual undertone in her words, "Junior Sister Xia is a good person and she was very serious with today’s experiment."

Shen Zhiqiao smiled, "Really? That’s typically what people say when they first meet her, but after some time..."

She left her sentence halfway, making an implicit point.

Xia Ye did not hurry to leave, but carefully recorded all the experimental data for the day.

Only after the on-duty researcher had put the lab in order did she leave with everyone else.

The on-duty researcher was carrying a cage with a little mouse inside and nudged Xia Ye, "Look at this poor thing, it can barely stand steady. The damage from the compound medicine is hard to repair; it’s probably doomed."

Xia Ye put a finger inside and tickled the little mouse’s wobbly head, "Give it to me; it should be treatable."

As the two emerged from the lab, Shen Zhiqiao was standing outside with Huang Yan and others.

The on-duty researcher was quite surprised, "You want to treat it? We injected it with a compound medicine, it’s going to be problematic to treat..."

Huang Yan noted their conversation, "If the junior sister wants to try, let her. I’ve heard she’s skilled in medicine."

He had heard something about Xia Ye before; apparently Mrs. Jiang, the old lady, had fallen ill and fainted once, and it was Xia Ye who had revived her.

Mrs. Jiang had close ties to the Academy of Sciences, so those who had spent a few years at the Academy were basically familiar with Mrs. Jiang.

Shen Zhiqiao looked on coldly from the side.

The little mice were bred by the Academy of Sciences themselves, born to be used for their experiments.

For ones in this condition, euthanasia was the most cost-effective method, a truth well understood by all, yet Xia Ye was here trying to play the hero again.

It was merely a way to attract others’ attention.

Shen Zhiqiao simply couldn’t stand it.

She had said before that she would not lose to Xia Ye again.

Their two groups were conducting the same experiments, and the mice were injected with the same dosage of medicine, so Shen Zhiqiao was well aware of the situation with the mice.

While the treatment was complex, it was not completely impossible.

She was also confident that she could heal the little mouse.

And faster and more effectively than Xia Ye!

With that thought, Shen Zhiqiao sneered, "Xia Ye, how about we have a little competition... what do you say?"
