Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman (1-200)

Chapter 135: Commotion

Zhu Yuan was surprisingly very well-dressed today. He sported a crisp white shirt and a well-fitting suit, then paired with a head of well-kempt hair. He seemed noble, almost heroic even; not the annoying frat boy that Gu Xiqiao had bumped into last night.

The way he was dressed now finally reflected how accomplished he actually was in his career. Gu Xiqiao even heard some girls behind her gasp upon laying their eyes on Zhu Yuan.

“This was quite a while ago but I remember someone asking me, ‘Is there any need for traditional Chinese medicine to continue developing?’ Well I’m here to tell you today, that the amalgamation of Chinese and Western medicine will be the way forward!” Zhu Yuan scanned his eyes across the attendees. There were keen eyes, ready to grab at whatever new information he threw at them, there were some who were merely here to check out the commotion, and finally there were the foreign experts who have come from every corner of the world to listen to his speech.

They shared one thing in common—all of them wanted to see him.

His voice was powerful and his gaze, flamboyant. This, coupled with his words caused an uproar among the crowd below.

Gu Xiqiao listened to his talk very carefully. Zhu Yuan then displayed his own research to show an example to the attendees. This was an international award that he had just received recently.

“What a genius!” Despite Xu Jing not being a med student, she would react as if she was one from time to time.

The med students’ reactions were even more exaggerated than Xu Jing due to their deeper understanding of his scientific concepts.

Even after his speech had ended, most of the attendees were still keen on hearing more from him. They were reluctant to leave their seats even after Zhu Yuan had walked off the stage. There were plenty of journalists here today, including people from the national broadcasting station. Upon seeing Zhu Yuan, they flocked around him, pointing their mics at his face in an attempt to get him to answer their questions.

“Mr. Zhu, what made you decide to make a sudden appearance in A University?”

They came with the expectation that Zhu Yuan would refuse to answer their questions but to their surprise, he stopped walking and smiled towards the journalists. “I am pursuing new life goals now. I believe, not long from now, there will be a revolution in the medical world.”

These journalists wanted to ask just what he meant by that but before they could open their mouths, Zhu Yuan had already turned and left. He walked at a brisk pace. The journalists, who wanted to catch up to him, were held back by security.

Realizing that he had left, Gu Xiqiao prepared to return to her dorm room. Xu Jing on the other hand, was adamant about staying here. “Let’s go, he won’t come back no matter how long you stand here.”

“I know.” Xu Jing would turn back once for every three steps she took. Journalists working for the national broadcast already found it an impossible task to interview him, what more to say of her, a petty student? She then pondered what set this legendary man apart from your average joe. Would she stand a chance to meet him if she stayed around Sun Jiajia more?

Xu Jing was about to speak after they entered their room when a fiery red bird swooped in from the window and landed on Gu Xiqiao’s shoulder.

“Hi, pretty girl, nice to meet you!” Seeing that someone else was present, Xixi waved its wings and greeted Gu Xiqiao’s friend.

The way it spoke made the bird seem almost as sentient as a human. Waving back at the bird stiffly, Xu Jing turned towards Gu Xiqiao. “Beauty Gu, your bird is so cool!”
