The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress-Chapter 862 - 336 plays a trump card

Even though Bai Lian was junior, the composure she displayed and the cards she put on the table far exceeded those of her peers.

Mu Yining no longer saw her as a junior at this point. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"This year’s autumn recruitment, the Mu Family has not participated for twenty years," Mu Yining continued to explain, "The three research institutes lack fresh blood — undergraduates, master’s students, and doctoral candidates. We will conduct job fairs and informational sessions simultaneously, and these newcomers value having a named professor."

Mu Yining roughly explained job fairs and informational sessions to Bai Lian.

The four research institutes of the Mu Family can now stay afloat, especially the medical research institute in collaboration with Xuankang.

The other three, however, are struggling. The Mu Family has no one else working in this area, and although the restart of the institutes benefits from the support of the Xu Family and Xuankang with ample funding and resources, what’s lacking is elite talent.

The autumn recruitment offers a great opportunity to attract talent.

But at Jiang University’s autumn recruitment, it’s like a fight among immortal beings — without some real strength, who would dare to send in a resume.

We originally wanted to rely on a few old professors for prestige.

Who would have thought that Mu Zhendong, on his departure, had given away the contact information of professors like Professor Yin.

Bai Lian set down her teacup, having understood.

We need a gimmick to attract these graduates participating in the autumn recruitment.

"Everyone, go back and consider some proposals. We’ll have a morning meeting tomorrow."

Sitting here tonight, Bai Lian didn’t have to say much to pretty much secure the morale.

The burden on everyone had lightened considerably, and they were full of drive.

Watching the Mu Family members leave, Bai Lian stayed silent, trailing slowly behind Ji Shaojun as they walked out.

"You’ve gotten a bit thin," Ji Shaojun said, hand behind his back, not too surprised that Bai Lian had been able to come out.

Bai Lian slowly followed beside him.

Waking up to the current situation of the Mu Family, Xu En and Xuankang were somewhat influenced by her – she had anticipated that; Mu Yining’s reaction was mostly within her expectations, too.

"Not bad," Bai Lian said, glancing downward, stepping over the threshold calmly, "How many professors do you still have available for naming rights?"

Their energy and spirits were not high.

Ji Shaojun glanced sideways at her, probably already knowing that there was still no news from her old teacher and Jiang Fulai, "All the professors like Professor Yin have left, probably two or three people at most."

Bai Lian gradually lowered her eyelids, took out her phone, and messaged Zhou Wenqing —

[Prof. Zhou, do you have time for a chat tomorrow?]

"Alian, are you leaving already?" Mu Yining, wanting to talk more with Bai Lian, found Bai Lian in a hurry to leave.

She knew what Bai Lian’s appearance at the Mu Family meant.

This appearance naturally would influence those in the Mu Family who were undecided and contemplating leaving with Mu Zhendong.

"Grandfather is waiting for me to have dinner," Bai Lian received Prof. Zhou’s message with a meeting scheduled for tomorrow near the physics building at Jiang University library, and she grasped her phone.

At the entrance, the Mu Family members had already brought Chen Beixuan’s car around.

Chen Beixuan took the keys, stepping into Ming Dongheng’s role.

Mu Yining and Ji Shaojun watched her leave, and only after the car was gone did Assistant Wang ask softly, "How exactly did Miss Bai come out? Didn’t they say the Gao Family couldn’t even manage it?"

Mu Yining shook her head slightly.

Ji Mulan stood to one side, not having said a single word to Bai Lian from beginning to end.

Her phone began to ring, showing the Song Family’s number.

She had always been in contact with Mrs. Song.

"How are you all doing?" Mrs. Song asked gently.

Ji Mulan certainly knew about Bai Qiming publicly disassociating with Bai Lian, as many people in Beicheng had forwarded her that piece of news under the guise of casual conversation.

Ji Mulan said indifferently, "Quite well, I just saw Alian off in the car."

With that sentence, she relayed the news of Bai Lian’s safe return to the Song Family.

Without waiting for Mrs. Song’s response, she hung up the phone.

The next day.

Jiang University Library.

Bai Lian held her black laptop in the quiet double study room, using data from Jiang University’s physics department, along with the USB drive from an academician named Ma to decrypt a key.

When Zhou Wenqing arrived, Chen Beixuan was dressed in casual black attire, sitting cross-armed next to Bai Lian.

As someone entered.

She made room.

"Prof. Zhou," Bai Lian handed over a cup of coffee she had just bought to Zhou Wenqing, closed the laptop, and leaned back slightly, "How many companies do you have your name on?"

"Me? Just a small company," Zhou Wenqing replied, surprised by Bai Lian’s question, but he responded truthfully.

Before he became the vice-dean, he was merely an ordinary professor at Jiang University without a significant affiliation or background.

Not many companies sought him out.

It was also because of Bai Lian that he had the chance for promotion.
