Chapter 719: 285 converge in Jiangjing, President Huang takes action against fraud_1
Sun Fu’s regularly scheduled group assignment wasn’t too difficult; it just required spending time to crunch the data.
It was laborious and tested one’s patience. Hen Shuyan and Su Yuanzhen had delegated this task to a few newcomers. Hen Shuyan monitored the progress, and for this kind of group assignment, it would suffice to simply add his and Su Yuanzhen’s names at the end.
But he had never expected that the most core, cumbersome data in the group assignment was all organized by Bai Lian?
“You’re joking?” Hen Shuyan’s expression darkened.
“Senior Brother Hen, do you think I would joke about such a matter with you?” Liang Wuyu shook her head.
Hen Shuyan stopped talking; he truly couldn’t understand how Bai Lian, who spent every day in the lab doing everything but her actual work, and who was always reading some papers, had found the time to handle such an immense volume of calculations.
Bai Lian and Ning Xiao, each of them took at least two days of leave every week.
Under such circumstances, not only did she handle her own data, but she also helped Tang Ming and Xu Zhiyue?
Hen Shuyan didn’t believe it, but he also knew that most of what Liang Wuyu said was probably true.
From the beginning, he knew that the crowd including Tang Ming and Ding Wenyang was led by Bai Lian, who held absolute leadership among the newcomers.
Today, both Hen Shuyan and Su Yuanzhen meant to give Bai Lian a warning.
But who knew that Bai Lian didn’t care about the usual marks, and would leave whenever she said she would?
Now that she had asked for leave, who would take over this most voluminous set of experimental data?
Friday was the day of the regular meeting.
Su Yuanzhen’s face didn’t look great, either. After Liang Wuyu went out, she gave Hen Shuyan a glance, “Junior Brother Hen, it’s normal to have some friction in the lab. Go and have a good talk with Bai Lian.”
Hen Shuyan, of course, wanted to get in touch.
He was more anxious than anyone; he was graduating in the first half of next year, and he needed to obtain excellent evaluations, otherwise he would have to delay his graduation.
He hadn’t previously added Bai Lian’s contact information, so he could only ask the other team members for her number and WeChat. He managed to get the number, but the call didn’t go through, and there was no response on WeChat.
In any case, with Bai Lian’s departure, she was utterly unfindable in the lab.
Hen Shuyan, who hadn’t dealt with this group assignment for weeks, had no choice but to grit his teeth and burn the midnight oil to crunch the data.

Shimen District.
Bai Lian had already arrived at the hotel where Qiu Xuezheng and the others were staying. Shimen District is a tourist area, situated to the right of Xingjiang District.
Qiu Xuezheng was communicating with the person in charge of this event.
Having not seen each other for half a year, Jian Zhe was more composed than before, not as impetuous, gentle yet reserved, “Just past this street is Cultural Square, where we were originally slated to rehearse every day.”
Under the gaze of cameras from four nations, the slightest stage fright could affect performance.
As for ability, no one was worried; after all, he was the top scholar of the last year’s cohort. And when it came to stage fright…
The Calligraphy Association, along with Qiu Xuezheng’s side, was even less concerned about that.
The hotel beside Cultural Square had been expropriated by the officials to accommodate all the friends who had arrived for this event. Jian Zhe took Bai Lian to a lounge in Xiangcheng, pulled open a drawer, and handed over a document to Bai Lian, “There’s also this, from Brother Mao’s friend who asked me to give it to you.”
Bai Lian reached out to take it. This was the order she had asked someone to investigate last time, held by Xiaoqi.
Neurotoxins weren’t common in the country, and Zhou Jian shouldered all responsibility for Xu En’s incident. Mao Kun had also checked the source, and the Ren Family was indeed uninvolved.
But Ren Wanxuan’s reaction to the order in Xiaoqi’s hands was significant.
Bai Lian still had someone look into it.
Twenty years ago, when the internet wasn’t widespread, all transactions happened offline. Backter Street was intricate and complex, making the investigation of relationships troublesome.
Bai Lian skimmed the paper and found some good news—
They had found the supplier.
She lowered her gaze and slowly folded the paper, then slouched lazily in the chair beside her, “You came this time; you should be planning to stay for the exams before you leave, right?”
The examination locations for Jiang University were fixed; every year, very few students from other institutions dared to apply to Jiang University. After the symposium, Jian Zhe would also be nearly ready for his postgraduate exams.
Speaking of which, Xu Wenyao was also taking the exams this year.
“Yes, Teacher Qiu asked me to prepare for the interviews in Jiangjing,” Jian Zhe sat opposite her, picked up the Yixing teapot with practiced hands, brewed a cup of tea, and then poured one for Bai Lian as well.
Bai Lian reached out to take the teacup and tasted it with a relaxed and leisurely air.
To convey culture to foreign guests, each room in the hotel had been equipped with unique Chinese teaware.
Jian Zhe, under Qiu Xuezheng’s influence in Xiangcheng, had learned to do it properly and said after drinking a sip, “This tea isn’t as good as ours.”
As soon as Qiu Xuezheng came in, he heard Jian Zhe’s unabashed comments.
He hung his overcoat on the left side, took a seat in the empty spot, and began detailing the developments of Xiangcheng Calligraphy Association over the past six months to Bai Lian. Xiangcheng Calligraphy Association wasn’t just a simple official organization.
Located on Internet Celebrity Street, it also bore the responsibility of promoting culture.
