After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 359, Episode 0388: Attending Class and Eating Melon

To show his appreciation, Principal Qi arranged a two-story independent courtyard for Lin Yuexi as her resting place during her time at the school.

After lunch and a one-hour nap, Lin Yuexi began her first open class at Peking University.

As she stepped into the classroom that Principal Qi had prepared for her, she paused, wondering if she had gone to the wrong place.

This isn't a classroom, it's a large auditorium!
And this place is packed with people, even the aisles are full of them. What's going on?
What was most frightening was that there were at least one or two thousand people inside, yet there wasn't a sound. Nearly two thousand pairs of eyes all turned to look at her when she reached the door.

If it weren't for the bright lighting here, making everyone's shadows visible, it would actually feel a bit eerie.

Fortunately, Lin Yuexi was a worldly person, and although she was momentarily stunned in such a situation, she was able to handle it calmly.

Lin Yuexi doesn't need lesson plans for her classes. Her brain is essentially made up of countless books. She can come up with any formula and leave most of the people in the room completely dumbfounded.

The originally scheduled 90-minute class was extended by nearly an hour as more and more people asked questions and faced with those inquisitive eyes, with Lin Yuexi's deliberate indulgence.

When class ended, the situation that Principal Qi had worried about—being surrounded—did not occur because everyone was reluctant to leave during the nearly 150-minute class. If you have kidney problems, you might end up gushing into the sea.

The students felt like they were being chased by wolves. The teachers and school leaders were a little better off, but as soon as class ended and they relaxed, the feeling of needing to go to bed made their bladders hurt. They even walked awkwardly with their legs tucked together. How could they have the energy to try to get close to Academician Lin?

Seeing everyone's embarrassment, Lin Yuexi suppressed a laugh and stood on the stage waiting for everyone to leave first.

Once only Lin Yuexi, Xu Shan, and a few others remained in the small hall, the crowd erupted in deafening laughter.

Principal Qi and the others who were at the back could still hear: "..."

They looked at each other, almost wearing the word "embarrassment" on their faces.

Oh dear, I originally wanted to leave a good impression on Academician Lin, but I never expected to make a fool of myself instead.

Fortunately, it seems that Academician Lin did not mind.

After everyone had calmed down and came out, they heard that Academician Lin had already left.

The dean of students turned pale with fright and looked anxiously at Principal Qi, "Did they all run away after class? Did Academician Lin think we didn't give her face, so she got angry?"

Principal Qi was a little nervous when he was asked that question.

At this moment, Professor Wang, who was standing next to him, calmly shook his head. "I don't think so. I have had the privilege of attending Academician Lin's classes a few times. Academician Lin leaves after class. I asked the people who attended the classes with her, and they said that Academician Lin does not like to chat with people. If you don't understand something, you can ask someone else. If you really don't understand, you can ask her in her next class."

Everyone understood that Academician Lin did not like to have too much social interaction with people; she only wanted to have academic exchanges with them.

Everyone was somewhat disappointed, but at the same time they were relieved that their unintentional neglect would not displease Academician Lin.

So everyone stopped talking about it and went about their business, with those whose majors matched getting together to discuss the course content.

After leaving school, Lin Yuexi planned to go straight home. As the car passed a newly erected commercial building, she glanced at it a few more times. Xu Shan noticed and suggested they go for a look, to which Lin Yuexi agreed. Today, Xu Shan and the others were dressed casually. Their group attracted some attention, but it wasn't too bad. In major cities like Beijing and Shanghai, where the economy was starting to develop, hiring bodyguards was already common among those with only a few cents in their pockets.

The origin of this story dates back to a few years ago when the economy had just begun to open up. Most of the first people who dared to take the plunge made a fortune. The Ye family in Beijing was one of the first to take the plunge. They initially engaged in the north-south trade, and later switched to the real estate business. They seized every opportunity and made a fortune.

The Ye family built a large building in Beijing, established the Ye Group, and cooperated with the state to become a business giant.

But one day, the only son of the third generation of the Ye family, who was also the only son of the president of the Ye Group, was kidnapped. The kidnappers demanded 200 million yuan.

Xu Shan walked beside Lin Yuexi and whispered, "Not only did Madam Ye not choose to call the police immediately, she also didn't tell President Ye and the others immediately. Instead, she tried to raise money herself to redeem her son."

Lin Yuexi paused slightly, based on her years of experience as a gossipmonger... "Is something going on here?"

Sure enough, Xu Shan lowered his voice and replied, "Madam Ye is... uh, like you said, a 'femme fatale' who is extremely good to her family, to the point of being infinitely indulgent. The person who kidnapped Young Master Ye is Madam Ye's nephew. That nephew is addicted to gambling, not just small-time gamblers, but someone who frequently goes to Austria to gamble."

“There’s a real estate company in Hong Kong called the Chen family that wants to expand into the mainland. They have their eyes on the Ye family and want to cooperate with them. However, the Ye family rejected the Chen family because of their close ties with M.”

"Ms. Chen somehow found out that Mrs. Ye's nephew often went to the casino, so she set a trap for him, causing him to owe 200 million US dollars. Mrs. Ye's nephew went to Mrs. Ye to borrow money, but Mrs. Ye couldn't come up with 200 million US dollars. Then someone guided Mrs. Ye's nephew to target President Ye's only son."

"The Chen family's original intention was for Mrs. Ye's nephew to kidnap someone, and for the Chen family's people to rescue him. In this way, President Ye would owe the Chen family a great favor, and the business could be discussed."

"But Madam Ye's nephew was so scared that he accidentally strangled Young Master Ye... When the Chen family arrived at the place they had agreed to meet with Madam Ye's nephew, the place was deserted, and only Young Master Ye's body remained."

Just then, the police and President Ye arrived one after the other, trapping the Chen family inside the dilapidated building.

The Chen family was unwilling to take the blame for Madam Ye and her niece. If the cooperation couldn't be done, fine, but not making things clear would not only be breaking the law but also completely offending the Ye family.

So, aside from the role played by the Chen family, they said everything, and of course, they shifted all the blame onto Madam Ye's nephew, who had already escaped.

Xu Shan wasn't quite sure how things developed after that, but after that incident, families with a few cents in their pockets were no longer stingy with the money to hire bodyguards for important family members.

As a result, several major cities have seen the establishment of bodyguard companies composed of veterans.

This can be considered a form of indirect help to the country.

Xu Shan glanced around. "Chief, this commercial building belongs to the Ye Group."

By this time, they had walked from the underground parking lot to the first floor. What they saw gave Lin Yuexi the feeling of traveling through time. The style here was really similar to that of later generations.

Crystal lamps, glass doors, escalators, etc...
There's a feeling that we're no longer in the 80s, but have entered a new era.

"This place is nice."

Xu Shan and his companions were also visibly shocked, as if they were witnessing a new world. This was Lin Yuexi's first time here, as were the people responsible for protecting her. Lin Yuexi also had memories of her past life. For Xu Shan and the others, this was the first time they had ever seen such a revolutionary shopping mall.
In their minds, the impression of shopping malls is mainly the old-fashioned style of supply and marketing cooperatives, where everything moves around quickly.
