Chapter 513: 467 Split open, please ask the President of Imperial Capital University [1 update] Chapter 513: 467 Split open, please ask the President of Imperial Capital University [1 update] Upon hearing this, both Madam Ji and Ji Li were stunned.

The villa assigned to the Ji Family was built from quality materials; its soundproofing was no worse than a five-star hotel.

Even with the door between them, they hadn’t heard any footsteps from outside.

How had Ying Zijin heard their conversation?

Madam Ji’s mouth opened, but she didn’t know what to say, “Yaoyao, this…”
Indeed, Madam Ji didn’t want this matter to trouble anyone else any further.

Ji Yihang’s leave of absence ended today, and he was about to return to the lab to continue with experiments.

The experiment he was involved in had a one-year deadline.

He had to report his findings by the end of the year and then compete with Ji Yiyuan.

However, Ji Yiyuan’s side was well-staffed and was even rumored to have invited Yan Ruoxue as an advisor.

It wasn’t just Ji Yihang; even another powerful side branch of the Ji Family couldn’t match them.

But as long as the experiment didn’t fail, Ji Yiyuan wouldn’t seize upon any flaw to exaggerate it.

If Ji Yihang learned about Yan Ruoxue’s targeting of Ji Li, it would definitely have an effect on his experiment.

Wen Fengmian had just returned to the Ji Family and was struggling to protect himself.

And Ying Zijin was a junior after all.

Madam Ji planned to handle it herself.

Ying Zijin walked in and slightly lifted her eyes, “Who is Yan Ruoxue?”

Madam Ji sighed, realizing the matter couldn’t be kept secret any longer, she could only say, “Yan Ruoxue is a scientific research talent that the Ji Family brought into the family. She came over at the age of twenty and is now twenty-nine, with 13,940 Merit Points already.”

There is a Merit List at the Research Institute of the Ji Family, ranking individuals according to their Points.

Those at the top are all retired elders, after all, they had been experimenting for a long time.

Yan Ruoxue is the only person under forty who has made it into the top fifty of the Merit List.

Her potential for the future is boundless, and the Inner Court is focusing on cultivating her.

Whenever there are experiments to be coordinated with the O continent, Yan Ruoxue represents the Ji Family.

The Rank of the Ji Family’s experimental projects is also divided according to letters, from D being the lowest to SS being the highest.

The island experiment that Wen Fengmian conducted was the only SS Rank experiment of the Ji Family.

The higher the Rank of the experiment, the more Merit Points one could earn.

Accordingly, more resources would be allocated from the Inner Court.

Ji Yihang’s Merit Points just recently surpassed 5,000.

“But compared to your father, it’s still a bit lacking.” After saying this, Madam Ji smiled with a hint of reflection, “Before he went missing, his Merit Points had already broken 15,000, he really was impressive.”

However, because the Ji Family presumed Wen Fengmian was dead, they had erased his name from the Merit List.

The Inner Court also made a decision: if Wen Fengmian could complete this experiment, they would restore his Merit Points and position.

Ying Zijin nodded thoughtfully, “Can Merit Points be deducted as well?”

“They can,” Madam Ji replied with a serious expression. “If the experiment fails, Points will be deducted, and if it causes losses to the Ji Family, even more will be deducted.”

Ying Zijin pondered for a moment, “I understand.”

“It’s best to avoid dealing with Yan Ruoxue if you can,” Madam Ji shook her head, “I, and your Second Uncle, truly didn’t expect that her newly started project would set its sights on Xiao Li.”

Yan Ruoxue never announced whom she wanted in her lab; she would report directly to the Inner Court.

Indeed, no one in the Ji Family had ever refused to join her projects before, and Ji Li was the first.

“Cousin, tomorrow morning, come with me to Imperial Capital University,” Ying Zijin paused to consider for a moment and then said indifferently, “Don’t worry, your records will definitely not be rejected.”

Ji Li was taken aback, then frowned, “God Ying, Yan Ruoxue indeed has a lot of influence in the biology department. It’s also my fault; I should have known not to apply for the biology department.”

“There’s no need to switch departments.” Ying Zijin raised an eyebrow, “We’ll go see the president and ask.”

She turned her head and said to Madam Ji, “Second Aunt, you’ve helped me, and I’ll help you as well.”

Madam Ji was startled, “Yaoyao?”

“I’m going to rest for a bit,” Ying Zijin pressed Madam Ji’s shoulder, “Don’t worry too much when dad and the others return later.”

Still somewhat dazed, Madam Ji nodded slowly.

Not until Ying Zijin went to rest did she belatedly turn to Ji Li, “Xiao Li, your cousin, she…”

“I don’t know either,” Ji Li scratched her head in confusion, “But everyone in the fan circles says that if God Ying promises something, she will definitely make it happen; you can trust her.”

“This child…” Madam Ji felt a jolt in her heart and murmured, “Her achievements in the future will be tremendous.”

A promise, just a simple phrase, but it wasn’t something anyone could fulfill.

A gentleman’s agreement is worth a thousand in gold.

Madam Ji paused and then asked, “What’s a ‘super topic’?”

“Oh, it’s like a community for people with common interests,” Ji Li flipped out her phone and showed Madam Ji, “It’s full of fans of God Ying, eh, no, calling them fans isn’t quite right, she’s not a celebrity. It’s just a group of people who really like her gathered together.”

Madam Ji nodded her head, “I’ll follow it and have a look too.”

She really didn’t understand these things young people were into, her only entertainment was watching television and reading the newspaper.

After following Ying Zijin’s ‘super topic’, Madam Ji discovered a whole new world–
There were many photos of Ying Zijin.

Each one was more beautiful than the last.

Madam Ji saved them one by one, even setting one as her phone’s screensaver, and then she replaced Ji Yihang’s photo.

Ji Li also excitedly posted a Weibo in the ‘super topic’.

[Sisters, I’m so happy, God Ying is my cousin, she helped me today, truly boyfriend power max, I’m moved to tears.]
Originally, Ji Li thought that after posting her Weibo, the comments would be filled with praises for Ying Zijin.

But just a few minutes later, while the number of comments did increase, they all followed a similar theme.

[Haha, I can claim I’m God Ying’s wife, she’s sleeping in my arms right now.]
[Then I’m the cute little darling of God Ying’s family[doge]]
[Everyone make way, let me wake her up, this child is always daydreaming.]
Ji Li: “…”

She exited Weibo, sullen, and went to the study to read a book.

**
The next day.

Early morning.

Ying Zijin and Ji Li went to Imperial Capital University.

Ji Li had visited Imperial Capital University several times, but those visits were all tours, and she had never been to the administration building.

Following Ying Zijin through turns and twists, they arrived at an independent building, and then they went up, stopping in front of a door.

Ji Li had been calm, up until she saw the words above the office.

Her hand trembled and her steps faltered, “God Ying, please don’t tell me you’re taking me here?”

Ying Zijin glanced at the words “Principal’s Office” and said, “Is there a problem? The principal can directly adjust your student record.”

Ji Li was dumbfounded, “Yes, that’s true, but…”

The principal of Imperial Capital University, Chen Junxian, was a respected academician revered by many and was now in his sixties.

At Imperial Capital University, he would only appear at the opening and the graduation ceremonies and was not known to stay in the principal’s office.

Being from the same academic circle, Ji Li had seen quite a bit of news about Chen Junxian.

Chen Junxian’s prestige wasn’t due to his numerous scientific research achievements.

It was because, during his time as a teacher, he nurtured many talents.

He was a man of integrity and always eschewed unjust practices.

Apart from a few exceptions, the rigorous academic atmosphere of Imperial Capital University had rapidly risen to join the ranks of the world’s top universities under his guidance.

Even the Ji Family’s Inner Court hadn’t managed to build a relationship with the principal of Imperial Capital University.

Yan Ruoxue had authority only within the biology department; placed in the entirety of Imperial Capital University, she really wasn’t much.

“I contacted the principal yesterday; he’s in today, let’s go in,” Ying Zijin knocked on the door.

As expected, a voice from inside said, “Please come in.”

Still bewildered, Ji Li watched as Ying Zijin pushed open the door.

She shook her head and followed her in.

An old man sat inside the office, exuding an aura of scholarship and warmth.

Seeing the person she had only seen in photos, Ji Li’s world shattered, “…”

In her daze, she finally remembered that Ying Zijin, the top scorer of the college entrance exam, was too extraordinary.

She had a perfect score, and the top ten universities in the world celebrated her achievement, something unheard of for anyone else.

But Ji Li hadn’t expected that Imperial Capital University would value Ying Zijin so highly, to the point the principal was waiting for her, especially since he usually didn’t involve himself in such matters.

“Classmate Ying,” Chen Junxian pushed up his glasses, his demeanor kind, “You contacted me yesterday, what is so urgent?”

“There is quite an important matter, Principal. I heard that Imperial Capital University has started a new experimental class this term, with the best resources invested,” Ying Zijin paused for a moment, “It’s a joint class between the biology and chemistry departments, right?”

Surprised by her words, Chen Junxian asked, “You’re planning to join this class?”
