The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress-Chapter 863 - 336 plays a trump card_2

At the beginning of the year, he was promoted to vice dean.

His popularity at the School of Physics was second only to Dean Huang.

After being promoted to vice dean, a flurry of companies sought him out, but Zhou Wenqing rejected them all.

Being the vice dean of Jiang University’s Department of Physics was more than just one level higher than an ordinary professor.

In that case, after Dean Huang was promoted to the president of the university, Zhou Wenqing was very likely to take over his position.

Of course, during this period, Zhou Wenqing also needed some achievements and projects.

He couldn’t blindly choose projects.

"Professor Zhou, you should know about the project between Academician Ma and Ning Xiao," Bai Lian sat up straight, not beating around the bush with Zhou Wenqing, and looked up, "The Mu Family’s three research institutes are involved in the machine production, basically starting from scratch, and I would like to invite you to be an honorary professor."

Zhou Wenqing looked at Bai Lian in surprise.

He thought Bai Lian was like Academician Ma and wouldn’t bother with these matters. "Bai student, what is your relationship with the Mu Family?"

Bai Lian merely replied lightly: "My uncle’s family."

"Fine."

Almost as soon as her words fell, Zhou Wenqing blurted out an affirmative "fine".

He inserted the straw into his coffee cup, holding it with both hands, "Bai student, when can we sign the contract?"

Zhou Wenqing was quite eager.

This opportunity was not to be missed, and he was naturally aware of which Tongfeng class Academician Ma was here for; with someone like Bai Lian, it was clear how far she could go in the future, wasn’t it?

This was her uncle’s enterprise, and she had personally brought it up; Zhou Wenqing naturally understood the value of this opportunity.

Bai Lian picked up her phone and asked Ji Shaojun.

They finally settled on two days later.

Zhou Wenqing left with his coffee, brimming with joy.

Chen Beixuan had been waiting outside while the two talked.

She lowered her gaze and sent a message in the group chat.

Chen Beixuan: [Xiaoming hasn’t returned yet, but @Xu Nanjing are you really not intervening in the Mu Family’s matter?]

Having been at the Mu Family the previous night, Chen Beixuan naturally heard what Mu Yining had said.

She also knew what was going on with the Mu Family.

This year’s autumn recruitment indeed posed some difficulties for the Mu Family.

Xu Nanjing: [^-^]

He typed a smiley face.

Seeming secretive, Chen Beixuan raised an eyebrow.

It wasn’t until Zhou Wenqing came out that she put away her phone and went back in.

Inside the break room, Bai Lian reopened her computer.

She glanced at WeChat, where there was still no news from Academician Ma and Jiang Fulai.

She knew this matter must be extremely confidential and was sealed tight, but the lack of news was making her anxious.

Bai Lian paused for a while.

Her fingertips rested on the touchscreen before she looked up, pondering slightly, and discussed with Chen Beixuan, "I don’t need you to protect me; you can go do your own things."

Chen Beixuan shook her head, "Miss Bai, just act as if I’m not here."

With Jiangjing being chaotic recently, if something were to happen to Bai Lian on her watch, she wouldn’t know how to report back.

Bai Lian’s gaze fell on Chen Beixuan’s face, but in the end, she said nothing.

Another day passed.

With online recruitment approaching, all the major enterprises posted their official announcements. The employment forum of Jiang University was like a battlefield of deities.

The gathering place for elites nationwide.

Whether it was staying domestic or from abroad, everyone liked to get the first-hand news here.

Jiang University’s renowned professors and some employment guidance teachers would also analyze a bunch of enterprises here.

"President Mu, when are we issuing our official announcement?" Assistant Wang was also trying hard to contact more professors, but compared to those on the forum, it wasn’t enough.

"Wait," Mu Yining raised her hand and looked at the time on her watch, "Alian seems to have arranged a meeting with a professor for us, said to be from Jiang University, coming to sign a contract with us soon."

Ji Shaojun said.

They had scheduled for ten o’clock.

"Miss Bai?" Assistant Wang was surprised as he followed Mu Yining, "Who did she schedule? Isn’t Miss Bai just a freshman?"

Mu Yining also found it strange.

A professor from Jiang University, even one without any faction, was not someone you could just schedule a meeting with.

When the two arrived at Ji Shaojun’s office, there were still ten minutes to ten o’clock.

"Seems to be one of her teachers." Ji Shaojun was also not very clear.

At fifty-nine minutes past nine.

A knock was heard at the door; Mu Yining quickly put down the contract drafted by Ji Shaojun and stood up.

Outside the door, Bai Lian came in with a middle-aged man in a suit.

Assistant Wang followed both of them.

"Hello," Zhou Wenqing shook hands with Ji Shaojun and Mu Yining one by one, introducing himself in an unhurried manner, "I am Zhou Wenqing."

The group sat down around the coffee table by the sofa.

Mu Yining handed the contract to Zhou Wenqing.

The salary offered in the contract was very high, surprising Mu Yining, but since Ji Shaojun had said the contract came from Bai Lian, she didn’t question it.

Zhou Wenqing had already reviewed the electronic version of the contract.

He scanned it briefly and then signed his name at the end.

As Mu Yining stamped it, she clearly saw his name—

Zhou Wenqing.

She silently noted down the name. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

After signing the contract, Zhou Wenqing courteously declined Mu Yining’s invitation for lunch, just smiling, "I have a lecture in Lin City at two o’clock this afternoon, and the car is waiting downstairs."

Professors often had many lectures, so Mu Yining and Ji Shaojun had no choice but to bid Zhou Wenqing goodbye.

Bai Lian escorted Zhou Wenqing downstairs, and the two walked ahead; Zhou Wenqing spoke softly to Bai Lian, "I had a meeting with Dean Huang last night, don’t worry, it won’t be a big issue."

He noticed Bai Lian had been distracted recently.

Zhou Wenqing’s car left the Mu Family building, but Bai Lian did not go.

She just followed behind Ji Shaojun.

Mu Yining trailed a few steps behind them. Before entering, Assistant Wang exclaimed softly in shock, "President Mu, look at this!"

He handed his phone over to Mu Yining.

Mu Yining stopped, took the phone, and looked down while standing still.

The page on Assistant Wang’s phone was a search engine result.

The search was for Zhou Wenqing’s name.

A white-background ID photo appeared, and having just met Zhou Wenqing, they understandably recognized his face; additionally, there was a line with his title introduction.

Only at the bottom of the page—

Acting Vice Dean of Jiang University’s School of Physics.

"So, this Professor Zhou is the vice dean of the School of Physics." Assistant Wang inhaled sharply beside her.

Just when they thought the prospects for autumn recruitment were bleak, Alian casually revealed a trump card.

Especially since she seemed to do it with such ease.
