The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot novel Chapter 329

Chapter 329: 318 Live Face-Slapping, the Embarrassed Pei Tianyi [1 Update]

He looked over, but was somewhat skeptical.

He had seen the problem posed by the International Physics Center as well, and indeed, it was a tough one.

But as his field was not physics but biochemistry, he had just taken a look.

Moreover, Quantum Mechanics had always been a difficult problem for the physics community to solve, so how could a student, no matter how talented, possibly solve it?

But Professor Zuo Li was different.

Pei Tianyi felt that Professor Zuo Li had the capability.

...

If Professor Zuo Li first gave his students the approach to the solution, those exceptionally talented students could indeed figure it out.

With this in mind, Pei Tianyi was not so surprised anymore.

However, Professor Herwen, a top professor, sat up straight and his expression grew more solemn, “The door isn’t locked, please come in.”

It was only after he finished speaking that the door opened.

Pei Tianyi, who had had an indifferent expression, suddenly froze, slightly astonished at the girl standing at the door.

Ying Zijin walked in, took off her hat, and extended her hand: “Hello, Professor Herwen.”

When she spoke, it was with an authentic British accent, even the Queen’s English.

This turn of events made the other professors in the conference room look over, all quite surprised.

Professor Herwen had royal lineage from Country Y, and although he had no significant ties to the Y country’s royals now, he still spoke the standard Queen’s English.

The Queen’s English prevailed amongst the noble families, performing arts circles, and academic circles of Continent O, but now, not many could speak the classic Queen’s English anymore.

The noble families believed that the royal English accent represented authority and taste, while actors learned it for professional reasons.

In the academic circle, it was Professor Herwen’s pronunciation that was the most standard.

Pei Tianyi had never imagined that Ying Zijin, a person from Hua Country, would also decide to learn the Queen’s English.

This royal English accent sounded very charming; the mere tone of voice could make one involuntarily attracted to the speaker.

“Classmate Ying, hello, hello.” Professor Herwen stood up as well, extending his hand with an excitement he couldn’t hide, “I never expected that although you are from Hua Country, you speak English even better than a native like me.”

Since English was his mother tongue, of course, he understood how difficult it was for someone learning it as a foreign language to speak Queen’s English well.

Ying Zijin shook his hand and nodded slightly: “If the professor is interested, I can help you learn Chinese.”

“Certainly, that’s for sure.” Professor Herwen was thrilled, “It’s a hassle that you had to come, Professor Zuo Li said you’re very impressive, and indeed, I do have areas where I need to learn from you.”

Ying Zijin sat down beside him, and Professor Herwen brought out the materials he had brought from Continent O.

The two conversed in English.

Concerned that she might not understand certain aspects, Professor Herwen explained some basic knowledge to her.

Ying Zijin just listened, without making any comments.

“Professor,” Pei Tianyi finally spoke, this time not in English but in German, “You really might as well have a talk with Professor Zuo Li, we can also go to the capital; it’s really unnecessary to waste time here.”

In his view, Ying Zijin could only be one of those who solved the problem; the dominant figure was Professor Zuo Li.

With Professor Herwen’s level, there really was no need for him to be here explaining Quantum Mechanics to a student.

Ying Zijin turned her head, her eyes falling on Pei Tianyi for the first time: “Interrupting someone while they’re speaking is quite rude.”

Hearing this sentence in German, Pei Tianyi’s expression paused, and he felt a sense of embarrassment.

He had spoken in German because he thought Ying Zijin couldn’t understand it.

“Classmate Ying, you also speak German?” Professor Herwen became increasingly convinced he had found a treasure, “At your age, it’s rare for someone to speak two foreign languages so well, do you know any other languages?”

He was very interested in Hua Country’s culture and academics and had learned about the college entrance examination system, understanding that high school students didn’t have much time to study extracurricular knowledge.

Ying Zijin thought for a moment: “I should be able to speak the languages from Continent O.”

Aside from some civilizations that had already perished.

Pei Tianyi scoffed.

He had never seen someone who bragged so much.

All of them?

Did Ying Zijin know how many languages there were in Continent O?

Even if she did, who had the ability to learn them all?

Professor Herwen nodded, his appreciation evident in his eyes, and continued speaking.

Most of the time, it was Professor Herwen who talked, with Ying Zijin listening.

But as the conversation went on and terms became more specialized, the others in the meeting room struggled to follow.

Just then, a loud thunderclap sounded from outside.

Pei Tianyi stood up and pulled back the curtain for a look: “It’s raining, quite heavily.”
