Chapter 1058: Big Boss Level, Senior Brother and Junior Sister Meet (1)
Feng San stood there in stunned silence, feeling somewhat speechless.
At this moment, the people crowding the hotel entrance were among the busiest individuals in the world, with countless affairs to handle.
Normally, others would line up to see these influential figures, but when had anyone ever seen them queuing up like this?
Only Miss Si could make such a thing happen.
Carrying Si Fuqing’s instructions, Feng San stepped forward and addressed the crowd. “Ladies and gentlemen, I sincerely apologize, but our Miss Si is still preparing for the final interview and is extremely busy at the moment. She doesn’t have time to meet with you all right now. How about this—I’ll give each of you a number, and we’ll contact you when she’s available. Does that sound okay?”
As soon as the words left his mouth, Feng San felt as if he had become the front desk clerk of a trendy restaurant, issuing tickets to eager patrons.@@@@
...
“No problem at all,” The head of Bellon family quickly responded. “Queuing is expected. As long as Miss Si agrees to meet with me, I’m available anytime!”
He coughed lightly and rubbed his hands together. “Can I get number one?”
Feng San, without any proper tools, borrowed some paper and a pen from a passing candidate. He hastily wrote down the number 1, adding a note below: This ticket entitles the holder to a meeting with Miss Si.
The head of Bellon family happily accepted his ticket and left in high spirits.
It took Feng San a full half-hour to hand out all the numbered tickets.
After seeing off the last luxury car, he was so exhausted that he didn’t want to look at another Arabic numeral for quite some time.
Meanwhile, the other candidates, including Wilbur Flore, stood nearby, utterly dumbfounded.
All these powerful figures had come to see Si Fuqing?!
Even the top scorer in previous years’ international joint examination had never attracted such a crowd!
A young man, after standing frozen in shock for a good while, finally turned his head and spoke with difficulty. “Wilbur, even you don’t get this kind of treatment.”
Wilbur’s expression grew increasingly dark.
He had long resented being only a Class D evolved being, without even the qualifications to be included in the Evolved Beings Alliance’s database.
Later, he discovered that his brain and computational abilities were superior to most ordinary people, which brought him many advantages.
Wilbur had been waiting for this year’s international joint examination to shine, only to have his spotlight stolen by a star from the Great Xia Empire.
A celebrity? Fine, let her earn money in the entertainment industry. Why did she have to compete in the international joint examination?
Because of Si Fuqing, no one paid any attention to him anymore. Even if he got into the Intercontinental Research Institute, he would always be overshadowed by her.
Wilbur clenched his teeth in frustration.
But there was still the final interview.
He believed firmly that Si Fuqing must have used some kind of cheating method, and once they got to the interview, she would be exposed.
With a jealous glance at the grand convoy of luxury cars leaving, he returned to his room to prepare for the final interview.
**
In the hotel room.
Upon hearing that Feng San had handed out over a hundred number tickets, Si Fuqing couldn’t help but say, “...”
If she had known, she would have just said no to meeting anyone.
Si Fuqing downed a cup of milk tea in one go and decided to delegate the difficult task to Shang Lu, her bodyguard and secretary.
Yu Xiheng handed her a tissue and suddenly asked, “Are you planning to go to the Free State?”
Her death had caused many of their experiments to be halted, resulting in a significant decline in their status and resources.
The dean of the Mechanical Institute had also been deeply affected, withdrawing from his duties. Otherwise, he would have personally overseen this interview.
It seemed that the saying “Heaven envies talent” was true after all.
Lang Xuan’s eyelashes flickered, and his fingers tightened slightly, his expression turning darker.
In Yunxi, standing behind the dean of Biochemistry Institute, keenly noticed his change in demeanor. Smiling, she asked, “Did Young Master Cloud Four also know this legendary researcher?”
Lang Xuan didn’t look at her, replying indifferently, “We did experiments together.”
Their Little Junior Sister had always been a mysterious figure. After her death in that explosion, Cloud Summit had never made her passing public.
No one knew that the renowned researcher who had shaken the Intercontinental Research Institute was actually their Little Junior Sister.
“Young Master Cloud Four is also from our Mechanical Institute, so of course, they worked together,” the vice dean said, smiling. “They were definitely close friends.”
Yin Yunxi nodded and asked, “Was this lady an evolved being as well?”
“That...” The vice dean hesitated. “I don’t think so. If she were, the Eternal Academy would have claimed her with her talent.”
The Intercontinental Research Institute and Eternal Academy had been rivals for years, always under pressure. Only the advent of anti-evolved robots had elevated the institute’s status.
Lang Xuan’s lips curved slightly.
Ironically, their Little Junior Sister was indeed a top student at Eternal Academy, ranking high on the Eternal Leaderboard.
But the Eternal Academy had no idea she was also conducting experiments at the Intercontinental Research Institute.
Their Little Junior Sister really knew how to play both sides.
In Yunxi acknowledged this with a soft “oh,” and said nothing more.
“The interview is about to start.” The dean of Biochemistry Institute glanced at the clock. “Let’s see how capable this year’s candidates are in practice.”
If there were suitable ones, they could be accepted as outer disciples.
As the clock struck ten, the door swung open, and the twelve final candidates walked in, with Si Fuqing once again the most eye-catching among them.
She was like a beam of light, suddenly illuminating the entire room.
Several judges, including Lang Xuan, were momentarily stunned.
In Yunxi raised her eyebrows slightly, her gaze toward Si Fuqing filled with a trace of contemplation.
Due to certain genetic advancements, evolved beings often surpass ordinary people in terms of physical strength and endurance. Their appearance and physique are also notably superior.
Whether it was Odile or Akatsuki, both were rare beauties, each with a distinct style and admirers of their own.
But this was the first time In Yunxi had ever encountered someone who seemed to meet everyone’s aesthetic preferences so universally.
Could an ordinary person really possess such remarkable looks?
In Yunxi quickly withdrew her gaze.
Since she wasn’t an evolved being, In Yunxi had no intention of building a connection.
After all, the In family was still an evolved being family, and they had no involvement in scientific research.
Her visit to the Biochemistry Institute was merely to lend a hand.
This was also the first time Lang Xuan had seen Si Fuqing in person. He stared directly into her eyes, and the strange sense of familiarity in his heart grew stronger, almost bursting forth.
His fingers clenched tightly again, restraining the storm of emotions inside him, even though he himself had no idea where these feelings stemmed from.
“Hello,” the head judge said kindly, “please introduce yourself.”
Si Fuqing nodded slightly, adjusting the name tag on her chest. “Great Xia Empire, Si Fuqing.” she said.
