Chapter 273
Not only that, but apart from Teng Yun Meng, several other groups also bought them over on East Street.
There are more than a dozen shops on East Street that specialise in selling these components, just outside the Imperial University. This is to make it easier for the university students at the Imperial University to purchase the props they need for their experiments.
More than theory, Imperial University also places a lot of emphasis on the hands-on skills of its students.
There were several national level laboratories within the Imperial University.
“What surveillance?” Zuo Li froze for a moment and reached out to take the USB stick, “Let me take a look.”
With that, he opened the computer set in the lectern, and by the way, he also put down the curtain above the blackboard.
Xiu Yan’s expression, however, changed again and again, and also showed a few moments of incredulity.
She was staring at Zuo Li’s movements, and cold sweat broke out on her bare forehead.
Xiu Yan wanted to go up and stop her, but she had no reason to.
The others were a little confused, not sure what the surveillance was all about.
Teng Yun Meng reacted and she lowered her voice, “Ziggy, do you suspect that someone has tampered with the components I bought and that’s why you’re asking me where I bought them?”
“Hmm.” Ying Ziji nodded slightly, “Since the device is locked in your room, it’s indeed impossible for someone to touch it, so you can only start from the top of the components.”
It would be a waste to use divine calculation power for such a trivial matter that could be seen at a glance.
Teng Yun Meng frowned with a baby face: “But the boss who bought the components has nothing to do with me, why would he do it?”
Ying Zidian didn’t answer and turned his head, “See.”
Zuo Li had already opened the section of surveillance on the USB stick by this time.
The projector projected the computer screen onto the curtain so that everyone in the large cla*sroom could see it.
The surveillance played and reflected the interior of a shop that sold components.
It was obviously the surveillance inside the shop.
Xiu Yan had been able to force herself to remain calm until she saw herself in the surveillance.
Then she heard the conversation between her and the owner, one sentence after another, coming clearly into her ears.
Xiu Yan was unsteady on her feet and almost fell over on the high heels she was stepping on.
“Xiu Yan!” Teng Yun Meng’s anger came up all of a sudden, “You’re really sinister!”
How could she not have imagined that Xiu Yan had gone ahead to the shop she was going to and negotiated with the owner to sell her the faulty components.
This kind of component was sold direct from the manufacturer, a chip board, and if it wasn’t disa*sembled bit by bit, Teng Yun Meng wouldn’t be able to see that the component was faulty.
Going to that shop was something she and Feng Yue had discussed, and I guess Xiu Yan had heard about it.
The others were also stunned and all looked at Xiu Yan in unison, including the girls from the same school as her.
“Xiu Yan, what did I say to you when you first entered the training camp?” Zuo Li’s always amiable face sank at the moment, he heavily slapped the book in his hand on the lectern, “This is an isc training camp, not the entertainment industry, if you want to come here to train, put away all your habits in the entertainment industry!”
Xiu Yan’s face turned white bit by bit, his nails pinching into his palm.
“Using such a lowly tactic to trap a cla*smate?” Zuo Li sneered, reprimanding without mercy, “I’ll use an inappropriate analogy, are you treating you like the empress in a Qing court drama, not allowing other concubines to get pregnant? What do you think you are?”
He had entered Imperial University through independent admissions when he was 18 and had a straight Ph.
After his doctorate, he went abroad for a few more years to further his studies and returned to Imperial University as a professor.
Zuo Li was really one of those people who had never come into contact with the entertainment industry, and he didn’t even know who Shang Yaozhi, the deservedly first top-stream movie star, was.
It was only after occasionally seeing it on a street advertising screen that he felt it looked familiar.
As for Xiu Yan, a flow star who had only made his debut a year earlier, Zuo Li was even less likely to pay attention to him.
The famous professor of the Imperial University like Zuo Li, the big families are rushing to recruit him.
It was impossible for Xiu Yan to use the power of the Xiu family to pressure him.
In the beginning, Zuo Li was reluctant to let Xiu Yan in, fearing that she would bring in the showbiz culture as well.
However, Xiu Yan’s grades were not bad, and she was sent from the Wende Noble School, and she repeatedly promised that she would not, so he agreed.
It was only half a month of training, and this kind of thing happened.
It was lucky that only the components ended up spontaneously combusting, what if there had been an explosion?
“Now, pack up your things.” Zuo Li turned off the surveillance, “Get the hell out of the training camp right now!”
Hearing these words, Xiu Yan jerked his head up and his lips trembled uncontrollably, “Professor Zuo?”
“ISC doesn’t need people like you to participate.” Zuo Li knew even less about what pity was, “You’d better hurry up and go back to your entertainment circle, we can’t afford you here.”
Of course, this kind of backstabbing to do small means of things Zuo Li is not unseen, even rigorous such as the imperial capital university will happen.
Especially before the number of bachelor’s degree places came down each year.
Being reprimanded in public like this, how could Xiu Yan have the face to stay any longer.
She took a deep breath and left the cla*sroom with quick steps.
Before leaving, Xiu Yan gave the girl a look.
It seemed that she needed to take this seriously, since she had even thought of it.
She definitely could not allow Xiu Yu to have any more help that would affect her position in the Xiu family.
“Report this matter to the organising committee.” Zuo Li turned her head and said to one of the teachers accompanying her, “She doesn’t need to participate in the auditions either.”
The teacher nodded and went to make contact.
The other students didn’t dare to speak up.
“Everyone have a good rest today.” Zuo Li didn’t continue to get angry, “We have to continue training tomorrow, so make sure to keep your spirits up.”
After saying that, he beckoned and called Ying Ziyi to the side, “So what, the professor from the computer department hasn’t looked for you, right?”
Generally speaking, it was impossible for the shop owner to give out the surveillance in such a shop to outsiders.
Not to mention that it still involved this kind of thing.
Zuo Li could even guess that it was probably because Ying Zidian had hacked the shop’s surveillance system and copied the video.
Ying Zidian yawned, “No.”
“That’s good then.” Zuo Li let out a long breath, “There’s an old professor in the computer, he has a three-inch tongue, I’m afraid you’ll be swindled away by him.”
Zuo Li held the book and walked out, quite happy.
Ying was about to go back to sleep for a while when her phone rang.
It was a cross-border call.
She didn’t want to answer it, but finally reluctantly pressed the answer button.
It was Berg on the other end of the line.
“Master Ying, why do you you say you’ve gone off to play academics?” He was distressed, “Forget it, you’re already a student, but you’ve joined the calligraphy a*sociation, that’s unseemly, isn’t it?”
Ying Ziji was silent for a moment: “How did you know?”
“Can I not know?” The mention of this made Berg’s blood pressure soar, “Just yesterday, that old codger called me on international roaming to show off, I wanted to slap him in the face with a drawing board.”
Ying Ziji began to think about whether she should black out Sheng Qingtang’s WeChat when someone else was already on the other end of the line.
“Hey hey hey, Master Ying, it’s Bart, don’t listen to him, what painting, play the piano, you must play the piano, but then again, it’s really questionable, Master Ying, how come there’s no video of your playing on the internet at all?”
Bart was dumbfounded to hear it, let alone remember the video.
He went to his colleagues and told them that someone had played three of Vera Hall’s piano pieces, but they didn’t believe him.
He then thought that he must recruit Ying Zidian to the Royal Academy of Arts in O Chau and play them again.
Ying Zidian hung up the phone very decisively this time.
There was no video recording because she had a certain hacker erase the whole network.
Otherwise, her mobile phone would have been knocked out.
**
On the other hand.
Xiu Yan returned to the Xiu family.
Upon entering, she heard a lot of noise in the living room.
Madam Xiu was playing mahjong.
She had married into the luxurious family for so long, but she hadn’t been able to break this habit.
These tilemakers were not any luxurious noblewomen either, they were all Mrs. Xiu’s former tilemakers.
“Mum.” Xiu Yan pursed her lips, “I’m back.”
After hearing Xiu Yan’s voice, Madam Xiu looked up and smiled, “It’s Yan Yan, wait for mum to finish this game.”
As soon as Xiu Yan saw this mercenary look of hers, her heart became annoyed to no end.
On the contrary, Mrs. Xiu also asked one more question, “Didn’t you go to training? It’s not the weekend, why are you home?”
Xiu Yan’s fingers tightened and she just said, “I ……”
On the side, the woman holding the phone in her left hand spoke up in surprise, “Hey, Ke Yun, what does the internet say, Yan Yan was kicked out?”
Mrs. Xiu’s hand playing cards stopped for a moment.
She took the phone from the woman’s hand and took a look.
[@isc China Training Camp v: After the professors’ ruling, a certain star student of the training camp has engaged in improper competition and has seriously violated the rules, he has now been let go, please take this as a warning to all participants].
Chapter 274
There is no direct naming of names.
But anyone who has watched the show Accept the Sanction of the God of Learning! the show, one would not fail to know who the so-called star student is.
It was only Xiu Yan.
At that time, Xiu Yan’s fans kept bragging that they could not find anyone in the entire entertainment industry who was more educated than Xiu Yan.
The official announcement from isc is clearly saying that Xiu Yan has broken the rules of the academic circle by using the same way of the entertainment circle.
Now isc has gotten the attention of all sides, as long as they are not people who are not on Weibo at all.
[Who are the people chosen for Youth 101? One Luo Ziyue, one Xiu Yan, one corrupting trend.]
The news is that Xiu Yan was personally kicked out by a professor from the Imperial University, so where’s his face?
The fans still have the nerve to blow, if you keep blowing your main character’s schoolboy persona will collapse.
[Tsk tsk, now I’m really worried about Youth 202, I don’t know if it’s still going to work.
Youth 101 is a girl group talent show and Youth 202 is a boy group.
During the summer holidays, the companies have already chosen their candidates and sent their lists over.
Now it’s just the audition period, and like Youth 101, there are 101 people to be finalised.
Only at the beginning of next year will the official auditions and public performances begin.
Since First Light Media also sent people over this time, they invested in some by the way.
The day after she finished the training camp, she stopped by the audition for Youth 202.
There were a lot of people at the audition, thousands of people.
Ying Zidian didn’t go there, she just stood by the side.
She raised her hand and pointed to the front, her voice clear: “Look.”
Fu Yunshen looked in the direction she pointed and saw a group of teenagers aged around 18.
He raised an eyebrow: “Don’t you like good-looking actresses? What, have you changed your tastes?”
“No.” Ying Ziyi pondered, “I was a*sessing how much they were worth.”
Fu Yunshen: “……”
Not bad for you.
“Young is indeed good.” Ying Ziji looked again, “There’s collagen, you can go try your hand at it.”
Hearing this, Fu Yunshen raised his hand and, as he had done many times before, naturally poked her pink-red face: “Little friend, looking like this, it’s better for you to pinch.”
Ying Zidian glanced at his hand and still didn’t say anything.
After watching for a while, they went back to the car.
Ying Ziji fastened her seat belt, leaned against the window and closed her eyes for a while, then suddenly opened them again.
She drew the tarot card she carried from her pocket and placed it on her lap.
She had not yet counted the fortune of the fifth month.
It was just as well that she was now in the imperial capital, in the same place as Fifth Moon, and was able to do the calculation.
After choosing the cards, Ying Ziji turned them over one by one.
The first card, the Moon, was number 18, the 19th card of the Great Arcana, in the right position.
The second, Death, number 14, the 15th card of the Great Arcana, in the reverse position.
Third, Hightower. Serial number “16”, the 17th sheet of the Great Arcana, in the positive position.
Ying Zigui’s eyes stared at the third card on the ground.
It was another tower.
The last time a Gauntlet had appeared was when it was given to Shang Yao’s Count.
All in all, this card, the High Tower, really had no good meaning at all.
Once this card appeared, it was linked to death.
And the positive Moon on the first card represents that the Fifth Moon is in a very disturbing situation.
Ying Ziji’s hand pressed the card and paused.
If she had been at her peak before, it would have been easy to change her fate, even if it was an absolute certainty of death.
But not now.
However, this second card, the Reverse Death, represented a chance of survival, not certain death.
Ying Ziji put the cards away, pondered for two seconds, took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Fifth Moon.
[I’m going to your house now.
The other end returned in almost seconds.
【!!!]
I haven’t made enough money yet [cry], can you come to collect the debt later?
It’s not a debt collection, it’s just a meeting.
[Really? Then, do you know a milk tea shop on West Street? I’m here now, I’ll send you a location.
The next second, a map came through.
The interview for Youth 202 was not close to the milk tea that Fifth Moon had given her, and it was a forty-minute drive.
It was just enough time for her to make up her face to meet Fifth Moon.
Fu Yunshen got out of the car: “Waiting for you?”
“No need.” Ying Ziyi pressed the brim of her hat, “It’s a long time, I’ll go back on my own later.”
Fu Yunshen didn’t say anything: “Call me after eight o’clock at night.”
There were many people in the imperial capital, and it was chaotic at night.
Especially since it was connected to the ancient martial arts world, there would be real ancient martial artists hanging out every now and then.
Although their little friend was very skilled, he was still a bit uneasy.
Ying Ziji nodded, “Good.”
She waved her hand again before walking into the milk tea shop.
Fifth Moon was sitting by the window, with a dozen cups of milk tea on the table.
Upon seeing her enter, she waved happily, “Young lady, here.”
Saying so, she also pushed a cup of stuffed cinnamon wine in front of her, “Please drink.”
Ying Zigui didn’t take it and leaned back in her chair, “Yes, you buy me a drink, I’ll pay for it.”
Fifth Moon cracked up, “……”
Did she act so obvious?
Looks like their ancestral way of cheating isn’t very good.
Ying Ziyi didn’t care and asked directly, “Have you been feeling dizzy lately, sometimes losing your appetite, and sometimes overeating?”
Fifth Moon froze: “Yes, a bit.”
She had developed this problem after returning to the imperial capital.
But she didn’t care, after all, in their line of work, they were all more or less a bit sick.
Of course, she had gone to the hospital, and the doctor said it was caused by the stress she had been under recently.
Fifth Moon blinked again, “Young lady, tell me honestly, are you also from any Feng Shui family?”
There was only one feng shui family that existed, the Fifth Family, the others had long since disappeared, but there might be descendants still around.
Ying Ziji averted his eyes and didn’t say anything.
It was true that Fifth Moon’s trigramming ability was not particularly strong now, but that didn’t mean she was less talented.
She just didn’t use it in the right place.
Ying Ziji guessed that it might be because Fifth Shao Xin had had his fortune told for her that not only had his longevity been compromised, but also his direct descendants were involved in the karma.
So this line of Fifth Moon’s direct descendants all had very short lifespans.
Fifth Moon’s father, not long after giving birth to them, pa*sed away.
Fifth Moon’s grandfather, the current head of the Fifth Family, Fifth Fan, was still alive, but I was afraid that he had paid a small price.
“No.” Ying Zigui collected his thoughts and looked detached, “Just think of me as a god.”
“Hey, what’s the point.” Fifth Moon didn’t care at all and waved her hand, “I’m a godly man too, my whole family is a godly man.”
Ying Ziji got up, “Then let’s go to your house.”
“OK.” After Fifth Moon knew she wasn’t here to collect debts, she agreed readily, “But my house is a bit remote, young lady, this taxi fare ……”
Ying Ziji glanced at her, “I’ll pay.”
The fifth month happily went to book an online taxi.
Ying Zidian’s fingers tapped on the desktop, her eyelashes dropping.
No matter what, she needed to help Fifth Moon change her fortune.
**
This side of Shanghai City.
The Ying family.
Ever since Ying Luwei was sent to prison, Mrs Ying’s health has been deteriorating day by day and she has to spend time in hospital.
Unfortunately, no matter how long the First Hospital has been testing, it is still unable to detect what exactly has been damaged by Old Lady Ying’s fuss.
The human brain is tighter than any piece of machinery, and even now, with such advanced technology, it has not been possible to parse out the human brain thoroughly.
Zhong Manhua was in a hurry.
Back in June, she had gone over to Shao Ren Hospital to register.
But Shao Ren Hospital said that the divine doctor would only see one patient per week.
There were many people registering, including noblemen from the imperial capital, and even the Ying family could not jump the queue.
Zhong Manhua could only wait.
Finally, today, she was able to wait.
She couldn’t wait to call Shao Ren Hospital.
“Sorry, the divine doctor is away this month, and the hospital side is not sure about her schedule.” The customer service was polite, “But the divine doctor said before she left that she could be contacted by phone.”
“Good.” Zhong Manhua let out a sigh of relief, “It’s okay if you can contact.”
“The number is 177xxxxxxx,” the customer service side quoted out a series of numbers and droned again, “But be prepared, you are not able to have the divine doctor out when you are scheduled.”
Although four patients a month were able to see the divine doctor, there was a good chance that none of them would be able to get the divine doctor to come out in person.
“That I certainly know.” Zhong Manhua wrote it down with her notes, “Thank you all.”
This was something that Zhong Manhua could also guess.
After all, it was a divine doctor, it was not even easy to meet one.
But Zhong Manhua didn’t feel that the divine doctor wouldn’t make a visit.
The Ying family had power and influence, so whatever the divine doctor wanted, they could give it to him.
Zhong Manhua entered the number she had written down into her mobile phone.
On the other side, Ying Yuexuan looked at it and suddenly felt that the number was familiar.
She racked her brain and suddenly spoke, “I’ve seen this number before.”
Zhong Manhua’s hand dialled the number and was surprised: “Where is it? Xiao Xuan, you know it?”
If Ying Yuexuan had a friendship with this divine doctor, then it would be easier than ever to ask him to come to see Old Lady Ying.
“I know him, and you know him too, mum.” Ying Yuexuan pursed her lips, “It’s sister.”
