Chapter 443: 404 Ying Zijin: Is the Lorentz Family enough? [2 updates]

“Hello, Professor Li,” Mong Ru began, “Are you here to talk about Xiao Xuan? I’m all ears.”

Li Yan’s attitude was no longer as gentle as before, his tone icy: “Sorry, Madam Yuan, I’m calling to let you know that our lab is full, and we no longer need Ying Yuexuan.”

Mong Ru was stunned.

Before she could respond or ask anything else, the other party had already hung up the phone.

She was left with only the cold ‘beep beep beep’ of the dial tone.

Since it was on speakerphone, Father Yuan also heard everything loud and clear.

He frowned, “What’s going on?”

Just two months ago, Mong Ru had told him that Ying Yuexuan had become a backup candidate for Professor Li’s lab.

Being a backup candidate meant she couldn’t be on the lab’s roster yet, but she could already participate in the experiments.

Yet in such a short time, things had changed.

Mong Ru also found it strange: “I’ll ask around.”

She redialed the number.

Professor Li did answer, but his attitude was still cold: “Sorry, there’s nothing I can tell you.”

The phone was hung up once again.

Mong Ru stood bewildered for a long time: “Xiao Xuan hasn’t done anything wrong in Continent O, could it be an issue with the experimental project?”

“Not necessarily,” Father Yuan thought deeply, “Maybe she did something wrong. Fortunately, it’s only an engagement and it was not announced to the societal circles of Imperial Capital. I think it’s better to call off the engagement as soon as possible.”

“I’ll ask others,” Mong Ru frowned, “Old Madam Ying has become comatose, and I owe her a favor. It’s not right to be so absolute without clearing things up.”

“Besides, the bid for the Nie Family project starts next month, and we can’t do it without Xiao Xuan.”

Father Yuan didn’t say anything more: “Then go ask around, and if there’s a problem, withdraw as soon as possible.”

In his view, reputation was more important than Ying Yuexuan.

Mong Ru nodded and began searching for contact details.

Over at Imperial Capital University.

After Li Yan hung up the phone, he was still unable to quell his anger: “Elder Xue, if you hadn’t told me, I would have been kept in the dark.”

The incident involving Ying Yuexuan stealing experimental data was confidential, and the research base in Continent O couldn’t leak the information.

If it got out, it would only draw the attention of some shady forces.

If not for the call from Fu Yunshen, Imperial Capital University would have been completely unaware.

“It’s fine, it’s not your fault,” Xue Guohua waved it off. “You can judge a person’s face but not their heart, I didn’t see it coming either.”

“Elder Xue, we also have to inform the Admissions Department about this,” Li Yan said gravely, “Such a student absolutely cannot be admitted.”

The ISC Organizing Committee could strike Ying Yuexuan’s name from their list, but the college entrance exam was different.

There was no reason to stop her from taking the exam; they could only choose not to admit her.

Xue Guohua reassured him: “Don’t worry, I’ve got it under control. I have also informed other universities. Ying Yuexuan’s name is already on the blacklist at all the top universities.”

Li Yan finally felt relieved: “Good, Continent O should be aware of this as well.”

Even if Ying Yuexuan scored well in the college entrance exams, even if she became the valedictorian, she would still have no chance with the world’s top universities.

“Such a waste,” Li Yan shook his head again, “Capable, but with poor character.”

No lab would dare to employ someone like Ying Yuexuan who had a history of stealing experimental data.

Xue Guohua pushed up his glasses: “Don’t think about that anymore. The college entrance exam is starting soon, we need to start recruiting a new round of talent.”

“Ah, yes,” Li Yan also remembered this most important matter, “What if Norton University interferes again?”

Xue Guohua’s face darkened: “Don’t jinx it.”

Li Yan fell silent.

He knew if he continued, Xue Guohua might lose his temper with him.

The international finals were set to start on May 15th, with the draw taking place on the afternoon of the 14th.

This draw was not to determine the order of appearance but whether it would be an individual or team competition.

Originally, the ISC International Finals consisted of two rounds, the first round being individual and the second team.

The team competition was scheduled for the end of June.
