The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress-Chapter 880: Little Sister 346_2

Xu Nanjing’s lips pursed slightly, but he remained silent.

Among them, he was the one who knew Scholar Ma the best.

In the study,

Bai Lian sat on the sofa, while Jiang Fulai put down what he was handling, squatted beside the coffee table, handed her the mobile phone, and leisurely began to make tea.

Bai Lian uttered a sound of acknowledgment.

She bowed her head, scrolling through WeChat on her phone.

A pile of unread messages.

She glanced at them. There were messages from Ning Xiao and Pu Xiaohan, and also from Director Huang and You Xinzheng...

"Professor You will give you Scholar Ma’s personal seal," Jiang Fulai said calmly as he steeped the tea, and then poured the brewed tea into a white porcelain cup; the color was very clear, "There will be many people at the memorial, do you want to take over?"

He looked up, his light-colored eyes quietly observing her.

If she did not want to take over, he would let this farce end.

When he initially introduced her to Scholar Ma, he felt it would be a waste if she did not pursue this line of work, but he also did not block her path. He felt extremely proud when he introduced Bai Lian to Scholar Ma.

Yet, he was very casual about pushing Scholar Ma towards Bai Lian.

But Bai Lian again chose this path.

Watching him make tea, Jiang Fulai’s method was very traditional, both elegant and composed, and the color of the tea was also appealing.

After he finished, she picked up the cup he had filled, took a sip, and looked up, "I want Scholar Ma’s computer."

On the day of the memorial service,

the spot next to the institute had been designated for the event.

At the entrance, a black and white photo was displayed, flanked by white chrysanthemums on both sides.

By the time Bai Lian arrived, both You Xinzheng and Director Huang were waiting at the entrance, each with a white chrysanthemum pinned to their chest, and several people invited by You Xinzheng stood behind them.

You Xinzheng looked around, but the person who came with Bai Lian was not Jiang Fulai.

Instead, several young people.

And some familiar professors.

Jiang Fulai was not with her.

You Xinzheng was very surprised; he walked in with Bai Lian and only when she was paying her respects to Scholar Ma did he softly ask Huang Yushuo about this matter.

Director Huang, who understood both Scholar Ma and Jiang Fulai, watched as Bai Lian placed the incense.

His gaze then shifted to the people behind Bai Lian.

They were the colleagues who had entered the school with Bai Lian, and a few others that Huang Yushuo had only seen a few times around Bai Lian and were not very familiar with.

Director Huang’s gaze returned to the black and white photo beside him, his voice somber, "She does not need the support of the Jiang Family."

You Xinzheng tilted his head, thinking more realistically, "But... if he is not here, will Ma Jiren and Director Xiang sign the document?"

Thinking of these two, he asked the assistant for news about them.

The assistant had just received a message and whispered, "Professor Ma is in the lounge meeting Professor Andy and others."

"Take me there first," You Xinzheng said, struggling to contain his anger.

The voice was soft, but Bai Lian heard it.

Yet she still had to pay respects to Scholar Ma, and she continued to do so respectfully.

After the ceremony, she then turned her head and looked towards Director Huang, "Take me to Ma Jiren."

In a lounge next to the memorial service,

Gao Yi was gathered with Dean Xiang and others, laughing as he said to the people of the Ming Family, "Principal Ming, rest assured, this project will definitely not put your Ming Family at a disadvantage."

Principal Ming also smiled, feeling a sense of relief internally.

Ever since the Yue Family and Wen Family formed an alliance, and Ming Zongyao allied with the Yue Family until the end, the Wen Family was becoming more successful, while the Ming Family declined.

Could find no way out.

As there was finally a clear path, the Ming Family naturally grasped it firmly.

"Mr. Gao, I certainly trust you," Ming Zongyao sat down again.

There were very few people at the scene who were genuinely grieving, including Ma Jiren.

They all treated the memorial service for Academician Ma as a venue for exchanging resources and information.

Calling it an exchange meeting was rather a final gesture to advertise using Academician Ma.

Gathering more people, landing the highest-level cooperation.

There were also three foreigners on-site, representatives from the scientific communities of M Country, Y Country, and R Country.

Next to Gao Yi, Ma Jiren stood up and shook hands with the foreign man in the middle, speaking fluent English, "Professor Andy, it’s a pleasure to collaborate."

They chatted happily.

Just then, the door was pushed open from outside.

Everyone in the lounge looked toward the door in surprise and saw You Xinzheng, they all instinctively stood up.

You Xinzheng controlled nuclear resources, seeing him everyone instinctively felt intimidated.

"Academician You, your timing is perfect," Ma Jiren looked indifferently at You Xinzheng, standing aside, and introduced the foreigner, "This is Professor Andy, I was just about to introduce him to you."

You Xinzheng didn’t speak, his gaze fixated on the contracts lying in front of Ma Jiren, intense and sharp.

It was the "Yuzhou Base" and the "925 Project."

You Xinzheng didn’t know the specifics of the secret "925 Project," but he knew Bai Lian was also a member.

As for the "Yuzhou Base," You Xinzheng was very clear, it was the base where his teacher had passed away.

"Ma Jiren," You Xinzheng was not trying to ingratiate himself with Ma Jiren, "the 925 Project cannot be transferred, Junior Sister will officially take over the 925."

Concerning the Yuzhou Base, with Jiang Fulai there, You Xinzheng wasn’t worried.

Upon hearing ’Junior Sister’, the smile on Ma Jiren’s face completely disappeared.

Gao Yi also spoke coolly, "Academician You, the 925 Project is currently leaderless, collaborating with Professor Andy is the best strategy. The mineral resources Mr. Andy controls are beyond your imagination, and doesn’t your project base lack uranium?"

"As for your referred ’Junior Sister,’ do you think she can lead the 925?"

Saying this, Gao Yi bent down and passed the black pen next to Ma Jiren.

To have him sign.

You Xinzheng’s face was iron blue, upon seeing Gao Yi approaching the director, he knew this hurdle was not easy to overcome.

His face unreadable, was about to intervene.

But was tightly held back by his assistant, "Professor, let’s not be rash, that’s Andy! We still need to negotiate over next year’s core nuclear fuel with them!"

Domestic uranium is really too scarce.

Every year they had to rely heavily on imports, otherwise, Ning Xiao and Academician Ma’s seawater project would not have garnered such attention.

As for the 925, it was decades of Academician Ma’s hard work.

Ma Jiren bowed his head and signed on the contract.

Then he picked up Academician Ma’s private seal beside him.

Just then, the door was opened again.

The seal was only one centimeter away from the paper when a black mobile phone pressed against his wrist.

No matter how hard he tried, it didn’t budge.

Ma Jiren looked up and saw an unusually cold face, her hand loosely holding a mobile phone, her usually gentle face showing no warmth.

Her eyelashes slightly drooping, her other hand unhurriedly removing the contract from the table.

It was Bai Lian.

The assistant restraining You Xinzheng lifted his head, "Junior Sister?"

"Teacher is gone, but I am still here," Bai Lian clenched the paper, her politeness clearly restrained as she glanced at Ma Jiren, "You dare covet the 925?"

"What audacity."
