The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot

Chapter 145: 141 He Xun thoroughly [1 update]

“…”

Four words plunged the entire hall into deathly silence.

The students below had not yet recovered from the previous intense verbal battle when they were shaken once again.

After two seconds of silence, the Director of Academic Affairs lowered his voice and said, “Principal, it’s not what I thought, is it?”

The Principal, as if just coming to his senses, pushed his glasses up slowly and replied, “It should be.”

The Director of Academic Affairs drew in a breath, “That’s freaking awesome.”

The previous questioning had lasted less than forty minutes, but it had covered almost all topics from astronomy to geography.

Yet even so, they had not managed to stump Ying Zijin.

Besides the language teacher who was brought in to make up the numbers, the faces of the other teachers who accused her of cheating had turned purple.

This was the first time he had seen students asking questions to the teachers.

“Impressive, very impressive,” the young professor patted the Head of the Physics Group’s shoulder vigorously, his eyes lighting up, “This student of yours has character and is really suitable for studying our physics.”

The nearly blood-spitting Head of the Physics Group: “…”

Damn it, it’s not about being suitable for physics; philosophy is nothing to her either.

The young professor seemed to have thought of something, took out his phone, and pondered, “I need to call the Dean.”

On the questioning bench.

The expressions of those teachers changed.

He Xun also raised his head, his eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses showing a hint of confusion.

“Ying Zijin, you wouldn’t be thinking of reversing the roles and questioning us, would you?” Bai Shaoshi, already humiliated and furious, sneered at the thought, “Remember, this Q&A session is because there were anomalies in your grades, not for any other reason. If you want to ask, you should ask the other students if they agree.”

But before she could finish, the emotions of the students below surged.

Whether from the science experiment class, the regular class, or the Elite Class, they all shouted in unison.

“Let her ask!”

“Quick! Let her ask! Let her ask!”

“Right, let her ask, we want to listen!”

Bai Shaoshi’s face turned green once again.

“Zhiwan, I’m suddenly so excited,” the girl sitting next to Zhong Zhiwan grabbed her hand, “Teacher He is down there, and Ying Zijin actually dares to ask questions; she’s really amazing!”

Indeed, none of the teachers below were over thirty-five years old, but to be employed by Verdant meant that, at the very least, their academic qualifications were not low.

Especially He Xun, the four words Norton University gave him a high status at Verdant.

To challenge He Xun, what was the difference between that and challenging Norton University?

She really was daring.

Zhong Zhiwan couldn’t maintain her smile any longer.

She stared intensely at the girl in the center of the hall, her fingers tightly clutching her school uniform trousers, a cold sweat breaking out on her back, feeling a chill all over her body.

Ying Zijin had not cheated?

Then, by reporting her to the school authorities with her real name and even submitting a second report under the disbelief of the principal and the Director of Academic Affairs, wouldn’t she be the one to be punished in the end?!

Zhong Zhiwan suddenly remembered the announcement and realized that the “strict punishment always on time” cited was not aimed at Ying Zijin, but at those who reported without evidence.

“Zhiwan?” The girl noticed her pale complexion and couldn’t help but show concern, “Zhiwan, are you okay?”

“No, no problem.” Zhong Zhiwan forced a smile, “I feel a bit unwell, I’m just going to go to the medical room.”

Having said that, she kept her head down, not daring to look at the people around her, and hurriedly left the hall.

Below.

“Since Quantum Mechanics has been mentioned, I have some parts that I don’t understand,” Ying Zijin pondered briefly and nodded, “So I would like to ask Mr. He to explain how to measure the Collapse of Quantum Wave Function.”

The students all sharply noticed that she referred to him as “Mr. He” and not “Teacher He”.

Jiang Ran went silent for a moment, struggling to turn his head, “Collapse of what malarkey?”

“What a joke,” Xiu Yu shrugged, “if you’ve ever heard about that, you’d be the boss.”

She poked Dudu’s little belly, “Dudu, you agree, don’t you?”

Dudu made a mocking grunt.

Jiang Ran: “…”

When this question was raised, He Xun’s expression turned cold.

His major at Norton University wasn’t physics, but engineering always touched on physics to some extent.

As for Quantum Mechanics, it was an area that scientists had been devoted to for many years, and there were still many unresolved mysteries despite decades of research.

Quantum Mechanics delved into areas as profound as the existence of parallel universes.

He had heard of the Collapse of Quantum Wave Function but had not looked into it in detail.

“Quantum itself has wave-particle duality, making it difficult to measure,” He Xun said with pursed lips, “This remains an unresolved challenge in the physics community.”

Ying Zijin tilted her head slightly, with a light and faint smile, “That’s good, Mr. He; the questions you asked me earlier included some of the unsolved problems in the mathematics community.”

He Xun suddenly looked towards the girl, his throat slightly dry and his expression momentarily flustered.

The other students hadn’t understood anything since the beginning of quantum mechanics and had an ‘although I don’t know what this is about, it seems very impressive’ expression.

But they understood this sentence, and they were immediately in an uproar.

“What does Teacher He mean? Asking a high school student about unsolved problems in the field of mathematics?”

“I heard from the academic affairs team that they sent out a notice in advance, asking Teacher He and the others to prepare questions. I was thinking, even if they believe Ying Zijin cheated on the test, shouldn’t they stick to questions within the scope of the exam?”

“This… isn’t this deliberately making things difficult? I’m a bit disillusioned.”

Once again, He Xun’s standing in the eyes of all the students plummeted.

“What a pity.” Ying Zijin stood up, “Graduated from Norton University, yet lacking in character too.”

She understood the situation at Norton University over the years.

Those below the ‘A’ academy were no different from students from any other university.

Norton University provided a teaching platform for these students, but whether they could move up any further was up to the students themselves.

She had indeed thought that a certain Alchemist Lunatic, in his quest to make the college the number one in the world, would also lower the standards for admitting students.

He Xun now completely changed color.

Her words were like a slap across his face.

For all those who study, Norton University could be considered a sacred place.

Although it is difficult to get into Imperial Capital University, one can still touch it, and if you don’t get in, you can still visit the campus.

As for Norton University, they say that apart from the students of the school, no one knows where its main campus is located.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Its mystery is what makes it desirable.

“Well said!” The young professor once again vigorously patted the head of the Physics Group on the shoulder, very pleased, “Our Imperial Capital University is still the best.”

The head of the Physics Group, on the verge of spitting blood, thought to himself, enough already.

“I have finished my questions.” Ying Zijin nodded towards the other teachers, “Thank you.”

She left the venue while those teachers on the questioning panel still sat there awkwardly without moving.

The principal sighed and stood up, “This Q&A session is now over, everyone please return to your classes.”

The open question and answer session was proof enough of fairness; it was time for some decisions to be issued.

**

Outside the auditorium.

Ying Zijin threw the mineral water bottle into the trash can.

She stood resting against a street lamp, slowly exhaling.

She had overestimated her body’s condition.

Even in such a short time, the strength that hadn’t recovered was all spent again.

Ying Zijin took out a white pill from her pocket, swallowed it, and decided to take another leave of absence to rest.

As she turned around, she was intercepted.

She looked up.

“Hello, Classmate Ying,” the young professor extended his hand, “I am Professor Zuo Li from Imperial Capital University. I came specifically to see you this time. Would you have a moment to talk?”

“I’m a bit under the weather today, so probably not,” Ying Zijin declined, “I am still in the second year of high school, it’s too early to discuss university.”

“Early? Not at all,” Zuo Li did not agree, “with your level, not to mention direct admission, I could apply for you to become an associate professor at Imperial Capital University right away, though a full professorship you would have to earn on your own.”

Today, he had witnessed a feast of knowledge.

Upon hearing this, Ying Zijin appeared thoughtful, “Does an associate professor have to mentor students?”

“Of course.”

“And write papers?”

“Indeed.”

“Oh, then never mind.”

“…”

Zuo Li’s expression faltered, and he had to compromise, “Classmate Ying, really, why bother with high school? Come to Imperial University; we all welcome you, and the scholarships are definitely more generous than Verdant’s.”

He was joking.

He had a premonition that it was good he was the first to come here.

Otherwise, he feared the mathematicians would have fought him for her.

To prevent that from happening, Zuo Li added, “This way, Classmate Ying, even if you don’t want to come now, I can enroll you in our Department of Physics. Whenever you change your mind, you are welcome at any time.”

“This is our annual scholarship list for the physics community.” As he spoke, he took out a document, “Classmate Ying, you could—”

Sensing something, Ying Zijin narrowed her phoenix eyes and raised her hand, “Professor Zuo, please hold on a moment.”

She lifted her head and looked accurately in a certain direction.
