The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot novel Chapter 325

Chapter 325: 314 likes, she participated in the history of the evolution of English [3 more]

Pei Tianyi and Ying Yuexuan had known each other for a year now, and he quite liked his junior.

She was serious, ambitious, and didn’t become restless in body and mind just because she was from a wealthy family.

So whenever there was a good opportunity, Pei Tianyi would strive to get it for Ying Yuexuan.

He knew that a research delegation was coming to Hua Country, only he didn’t know at first that they were coming to Verdant Middle School. Upon receiving the news later, he took the initiative to report to his superiors, and that’s how he also came along.

In fact, whether one can understand Middle English is not important; the important thing is that the person receiving them must be Ying Yuexuan.

...

In this way, Ying Yuexuan’s future development opportunities would be even more abundant.

Now, hearing Pei Tianyi say this, Teacher Deng’s expression became reserved, and her frown deepened, “Does this mean, Student Pei, that you are very proficient in Middle English?”

She had also studied Middle English for a while when she was learning about the history of O continent.

Because some niche books are indeed only available in Middle English.

“Proficient would be too much to claim; I only have a superficial understanding,” Pei Tianyi said, “I know my request is somewhat presumptuous, but Teacher Deng must also understand that receiving this research delegation can be a valuable learning experience.”

Teacher Deng was indeed aware of this.

The research delegation consisted of a group formed by Yilan Public School and several other high schools from the O continent. In addition to some teachers, the leading professor had a very high reputation internationally.

That’s why she initially chose Ying Zijin for the reception.

At this point, Pei Tianyi spoke up again, “Moreover, Yuexuan and I are familiar with each other, and it would be more convenient for us to interact.”

As he said this, he took out a box from his backpack, “The decision was sudden; this is a small apology gift, please trouble Teacher Deng to pass it on to that student.”

Teacher Deng didn’t have much choice after all this, and she nodded, “I understand.”

The research team included Chinese descendants, which would make communication more convenient.

So Teacher Deng first returned to the office, contemplating how to broach the subject, and in the end, she decided to just be honest about it.

After listening, Ying Zijin paused for a moment, then raised her eyebrows, “Middle English?”

“You might not be very familiar with the history of English development.” Teacher Deng nodded, “Old English from the 5th to the 12th-century, which later evolved into Middle English, and after the 16th-century, Middle English underwent another round of simplification, becoming the Modern English we learn today.”

Ying Zijin pondered, “I know a bit.”

She had spent a considerable amount of time in the royal family of Country Y, where she served as their court astrologer.

She had watched Middle English transform into Modern English.

“Thinking of letting you learn from them was my mistake,” Teacher Deng sighed and handed over the gift box, “This is their apology gift for you.”

Ying Zijin didn’t mind and nodded, “No need, since they don’t need me, I’ll be going back.”

Teacher Deng nodded, “Go ahead.”

Class 19.

“Hey, Daddy Ying.” Xiu Yu, who was playing with his phone, looked up in surprise as the girl returned, “Weren’t you accompanying the teacher to receive the research delegation?”

“Someone else went,” Ying Zijin leaned back in her chair, her eyes and brows relaxed, “How nice.”

She didn’t want to waste her time receiving any research delegation in the first place; it was only because Teacher Deng asked her that she agreed to do it.

“Who’s so kind-hearted?” Having heard this, Xiu Yu casually asked a question, not particularly caring, “Just right, now you’re free, let’s vote together.”

“What.” Ying Zijin turned her head, seeing Xiu Yu’s phone screen display the voting interface.

This time “Youth 202” differed from “Youth 101” because even before the official start of the show, profiles of 101 contestants had been released online, and it was a popularity vote.

Xiu Yu stroked his chin, “Feeling bad? Just look at handsome guys to feel better.”

“Your son?” Jiang Ran, hearing the commotion, looked up and joked, “You’re fickle so soon?”

“You don’t understand a thing,” Xiu Yu ignored him, “My son, of course, is still my son, but can the excitement of a wallflower compare to an idol?”

Jiang Ran: “…”

After casually helping Xiu Yu with her vote, Ying Zijin received a new message on WeChat.

It was from Zuo Li.

[Classmate Ying, the International Physics Center has posted a difficult problem involving Quantum Mechanics and space physics, do you want to give it a try?]

Ying Zijin hadn’t replied when a second message arrived right after.

[I’ve inquired, there’s money involved, whoever solves it first gets a reward of one million, US dollars!!!]

The final three exclamation points seemed as if they were urging her to give it a try.

Ying Zijin rubbed her forehead and replied with two characters.

[Sure.]

One minute later, she received the problem statement sent by Zuo Li in her email.

After glancing over it, she closed the email and turned to ask, “What does it mean if a man frequently says to you, ‘Hey, kid, call me brother’, and lately, he’s been asking you to be more presumptuous toward him?”
