Huayu 2021: Isn’t he in the technology field?

Chapter 200 Campus Female Star, Invitation

Three days later, on Monday, September 20th.

At 9:30 a.m., Tsinghua University.

The sycamore leaves swirled and fell onto the bluestone slabs as Jiang Qing stood at the QR code scanning area at the south gate of Tsinghua University.

The security guard squinted at the brim of his baseball cap pulled low and reminded him in a Beijing accent.

"Alumni registration is done through the east gate!"

"I've come to find Jiang Nan."

The moment he signed "Jiang Qing" in the register, he heard excited whispers from several girls behind him.

"Look at that guy in the baseball cap! His profile looks just like Jiang Shen!"

"What are you thinking about? Jiang Shen should be with Zhang Jingyi right now, right?"

"Have all the costume photos been taken?"

"Let me take a closer look."

"Hey~ It's all your fault, he walked away!"

……

Jiang Qing adjusted her mask and followed the flow of people into the tree-lined path.

He had been to Shuimu twice, but that was back in college.

As he walked and looked him over, he became increasingly bewildered and amused.

I originally wanted to admire the campus environment of Tsinghua University, but I saw that familiar little girl everywhere.

Standing under the ginkgo tree, the golden leaves rustled in the breeze, and Jiang Nan's ID photo on the bulletin board took up almost half a wall.

The words "President of the Student Union of the School of Economics and Management" are particularly eye-catching. The girl in the photo is wearing a light blue shirt with a beige knitted vest, with a ginkgo leaf brooch on her collar. Her chestnut hair is tied into a loose braid and hangs over her shoulders. The light brown mole at the corner of her right eye adds a touch of playfulness and liveliness to her.

Jiang Qing looked at the photo, and a smile unconsciously spread across her eyes.

"Hello, could you please tell me how to get to Mingli Building?"

He stopped two girls who were walking by carrying "Intermediate Microeconomics" textbooks and asked them for directions.

The girl with the ponytail looked at him suspiciously, then suddenly her eyes widened.

"You...are you..."

"Turn left ahead."

The short-haired girl next to her pulled her companion away quickly, curling her lip in disdain.

"This is the seventeenth person I've seen imitating Jiang Shen since the beginning of the month. I must say, his profile really does look like him."

"Is it really an imitation?"

The girl with the ponytail turned around and glanced back.

"I think it really looks alike!"

"Stop thinking about it, get to class and start running!"

"Oh~"

The two girls held hands and started jogging.

"Thank you, classmate."

The faint chirping of crickets could be heard in the breeze. Jiang Qing smiled and walked away in the direction indicated.

A hand-drawn poster titled "Observation Diary of the Goddess of Economics and Management" was posted on the bulletin board in front of Mingli Building. The cartoon version of Jiang Nan, wearing a light purple JK uniform, was jumping up and shooting a basketball on the court, with the caption next to it.

“本周课程表：周一09:00-10:30微观经济学，14:00-16:00博弈论（西305）”。

"Tuesday……"

The glass display case shows her certificate for winning the gold medal in the National College Mathematics Competition. The photo on the certificate shows a girl with double braids eating a watermelon, her pale skin under the camouflage hat glowing white in the scorching sun.

"This popularity is even more exaggerated than when I was in college."

Jiang Qing muttered to himself, lowered the brim of his hat, and continued walking.

As soon as I approached the lecture hall, I heard the professor's loud and clear voice.

"Therefore, when the marginal cost curve crosses the minimum point of the average total cost curve..."

Jiang Qing slowly approached and looked through the glass of the back door. In the third row by the window, a chestnut-colored head was resting his chin on his hand and twirling a pen. The draft paper in front of him was covered with cartoon puppies.

The girl was wearing a pale yellow puff-sleeved shirt today, tucked into high-waisted denim overalls, and her canvas shoes had star stickers on them.

She was light and graceful, like a willow branch in spring. Her fair and delicate face had a pair of curved willow-leaf eyebrows with slightly upturned ends, giving her a lively and lively look.

Jiang Qing's gaze softened, and she inexplicably felt a sense of pride, as if a daughter had just come of age.

He noticed that at least seven or eight boys around the girl were glancing at her from time to time, and one of the boys in the front seat had his neck almost twisted into a pretzel.

Instead of studying properly, you spend all your time thinking about trivial things!
Jiang Qing frowned slightly.

The academic atmosphere at Tsinghua University isn't exactly positive!

Suddenly realizing a crucial point, Jiang Qing looked down at her collar.

Thankfully, it was tied very securely.

I've been covered in scratches from a certain actress for the past three days; it wouldn't be appropriate for the little girl to see them.

Jingle bell~~
The school bell startled the sparrows outside the window, and Jiang Nan, who was humming a song, suddenly stopped stuffing her notebook into her canvas bag.

The sight of a tall, slender figure at the classroom door made her pupils contract sharply, and her pencil fell to the ground with a thud.

"Excuse me, student, could you please move aside?"

The boy holding the homework squeezed in front of Jiang Qing, looked up, and followed his gaze to the spot where the homework was.

"Dude, you're here to confess to Jiang Nan? I advise you not to waste your time. Last week, that 1.9-meter-tall guy from the sports academy..."

"elder brother!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a crisp exclamation.

A pale yellow figure fluttered across three rows of seats like a butterfly, then jumped directly onto Jiang Qing, who was already prepared, and wrapped her slender white arms around his neck.

"Why are you here! You didn't even tell me beforehand!"

The entire corridor fell silent instantly.

A boy in a plaid shirt opened his mouth wide, his glasses slipping down to the tip of his nose.

"Jiang Nan just said...brother?"

"The living Jiang Shen!"

The Jiang Qing chibi keychain on the girl's phone case in the back row was swaying violently.

"It's crazy! I need a ventilator!"

Jiang Qing supported Jiang Nan with one hand, and with the other hand, she took off her mask and chuckled.

"Didn't we agree to check if you've been eating properly?"

He pinched the back of the girl's neck.

"As light as a ginkgo leaf."

"Jiang Shen!"

The girl holding the book "Econometrics" suddenly screamed.

Can we take a photo together?

The crowd surged forward, and Jiang Nan nimbly slipped into her brother's arms.

The girl tilted her head back and smiled slyly.

"Please keep quiet, okay? In exchange..."

She pulled a pink notebook out of her canvas bag.

"This is a summary of the key points from the last lesson."

The onlookers nodded in agreement.

Jiang Qing looked at her younger sister in surprise, only to be met with her proud little eyes, and couldn't help but shake her head and laugh.

Several figures arrived together from twenty meters away. Upon seeing this scene, the head of the economics department pushed up his glasses.

"Is that Jiang Nan being held... President Jiang of Wuwen Technology?"

Jiang Nan had already noticed him and whispered his identity to Jiang Qing.

"Hello, director."

Jiang Qingchao smiled and nodded at him, greeting him from afar.

"I apologize for bothering you."

"Shuimu welcomes President Jiang anytime, anywhere. Jiang Nan is also an outstanding student!"

The director looked at the two people surrounded by students.

"The boy who was pursuing her..."

"elder brother!"

Jiang Nan was using her campus card to treat her classmates to milk tea when she suddenly peeked out from the crowd.

"Professor Zhang said you can also audit the next game theory class!"

She waved her phone and winked as if to ask for praise.

"I got you a seat in the last row." Jiang Qing smiled as she looked at her sister's excited expression.

"Is Jiang Nan trying to show off her brother?"

"Not at all."

Jiang Nan pressed the iced cola in her hand against his face.

"I want you to see it with your own eyes..."

She tiptoed closer to his ear.

"Your sister is ten times cooler when she's debating in class than you are on variety shows!"

Jiang Qing was taken aback. Just then, the director walked up to her. The two looked at each other and shook their heads with smiles.

After saying goodbye to the director, the brother and sister passed by the library, and the students inside the floor-to-ceiling windows all looked up.

Wow! It really is Jiang Shen!

"These brother and sister are so good-looking!"

"These two don't look like the kind of talents our Tsinghua University could produce."

"What do you mean?"

"Don't you know the average looks of the students who get into our school? Do I need to explain why you can focus on your studies and get into Tsinghua University?"

"Uh...that makes sense!"

……

The brother and sister smiled at each other and continued on their way.

After walking a few steps, Jiang Nan suddenly grabbed Jiang Qing's sleeve and hid behind a ginkgo tree. Three boys holding DSLR cameras hurriedly ran past.

"It's a photography agency! They keep asking me to help them take promotional photos."

Jiang Qing looked down and saw her phone screen light up; the class group chat was flooded with messages.

"Jiang Nan Fan Club Urgent Notice! Today's outfit: pale yellow shirt + overalls, pearl button on the third button! Go to the West Campus classroom immediately and stake out the area!"

He raised his eyebrows.

Why does he feel like this girl is a female celebrity on SMTH?
As I passed by the lotus pond, a group of girls dressed in Hanfu were filming a short video.

Upon seeing Jiang Nan, they immediately changed their poses, tilting their paper umbrellas to reveal their most photogenic profiles, and the girl in the lead shouted at them.

"Jiang Nan, look here! Your brother is even more handsome than on TV!"

Jiang Nan waved her hand with a smile and pulled Jiang Qing into the alley.

There were four or five snack bags piled on the bench next to the statue of Zhu Ziqing, with sticky notes that read "Replenish the energy of the goddess of economics and management".

Jiang Qing watched as she skillfully distributed the ham to the passing orange cat, and then took out a bag of freeze-dried meat from her bag.

"This is a new stray cat, and I named it Game Theory."

She tilted her head back and introduced herself in a crisp voice.

Jiang Qing gently tapped her head.

"Naughty."

The girl tilted her head and smiled, revealing two rows of small white teeth.

Jiang Qing followed her to experience the Shui Mu cafeteria for lunch and commented that it was not as good as the USTC cafeteria.

Of course, he always gave a thumbs up when others asked him questions.

Around 1 p.m., when they sat down in classroom 305 in the west, the girls in the back row were passing around the latest issue of "Shuimu Observation".

The cover features a photo of Jiang Nan playing "Ballade pour Adeline" in the auditorium, her hazy blue dress skirt covering the entire piano bench.

The title of the interview inside the booklet reads: "Economics is the language of decoding the world - A dialogue with Jiang Nan from the School of Economics and Management."

When the professor entered the classroom, a boy in the front row turned his head, his expression visibly tense.

Upon seeing Jiang Qing smiling to the side, her lips trembled even more.

"Jiang Nan, could I borrow your notes from last class? I... I didn't have time to copy them down during my school team training."

"take it."

Jiang Nan generously pulled out a sheet of loose-leaf paper and handed it over.

"But I drew a crying cat's head in the blank space on page thirteen."

Amidst the low laughter filling the room, Jiang Qing watched as her younger sister drew a supply curve on a draft paper, the tip of her pen suddenly turning to add a dozing puppy.

Economic models and childlike doodles blend wonderfully on the pages, much like her contradictory persona: giving an academic presentation in overalls and hitting a game-winning three-pointer while playing the piano.

A class period passed in the blink of an eye. As the brother and sister were about to leave the classroom side by side, a boy wearing a basketball jersey blocked the doorway.

"Jiang, the college league finals are on Sunday..."

His momentum instantly weakened after meeting Jiang Qing's gaze.

"Can you...can you be a cheerleader?"

"It depends on the progress of the game theory assignment."

Jiang Nan shook the canvas bag stuffed with books, then turned around and put Jiang Qing's baseball cap backwards on her own head.

"Definitely next time."

"Jiang Nan!"

A shout came from the end of the corridor.

"The drama club is short of a female lead for their production of Romeo and Juliet!"

"I'm hungry! Let's discuss it again!"

Jiang Nan grabbed Jiang Qing and ran, the corner of her pale yellow shirt fluttering in the wind.

As they passed the Second Gate, she suddenly stopped, pulled Jiang Qing to point to a certain spot, and saw a junior girl in a JK uniform taking a picture under the classical blue brick and white pillar archway, mimicking her pose of eating watermelon during military training.

"You think you're so great?"

Jiang Qing chuckled and poked her forehead, which drew a wave of displeasure from her.

As the sun sets, the shadows of the brother and sister stretch long along the ginkgo avenue.

Jiang Nan suddenly turned around and walked backwards, her eyes curving into two small crescent moons.

"Actually, I wore this outfit especially for you! The layered vests add depth, the puff sleeves flatter the head-to-shoulder ratio, and the pearl elements echo the preppy style..."

She deliberately took a deep breath.

"These are all things that Sister Mengmeng taught me."

Jiang Qing's eyes flickered, and she met her probing gaze as if nothing had happened.

"But we forgot to calculate the most important one."

"what?"

"A girl wearing overalls."

He laughed and ruffled his sister's hair.

"It will remind your brother of how he used to pick you up from kindergarten."

The girl blinked, stunned.

The evening breeze swept across the lotus pond, startling a flock of birds into flight.

The girls in Hanfu were still lingering in the distance, the sound of camera shutters and shouts of "Jiang Shen Jiang Nan, look this way!" shattered the twilight.

Jiang Nan buried her face in her brother's shoulder, the tips of her ears redder than the sunset. Her economics notes slipped out of her canvas bag, the latest page showing a game theory model with a little figure wearing a baseball cap drawn next to it, and pencil writing in the dialogue box.

"The Diary of My Stupid Older Brother's Inspection"

-

Meanwhile, in the principal's office at Tsinghua University.

President Qiu Yong and Academician Yao Qizhi of the Chinese Academy of Sciences sat facing each other at their desks, with the head of the economics department, whom Jiang Qing had met that morning, sitting next to them.

"Dr. Jiang was just accompanying Jiang Nan to class at school today?"

“That’s right, I also thought he had other purposes for coming this time.”

"In that case..."

Qiu Yong turned to look at the Shui Mu Huo advertisement, featuring Turing Award winner Yao Qizhi.

"As Professor Yao suggested, I asked Jiang Nan to pass on the message that Dr. Jiang will give a lecture at the Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences tomorrow. We're releasing the news in advance today so our students can prepare."

“That’s excellent. I have high expectations for Dr. Jiang.”

Yao Qizhi nodded in satisfaction.

What if he refuses?

The head of the economics department frowned, expressing his concern.

"rest assured……"

Qiu Yong glanced at a corner of the computer screen beside him, a meaningful light flashing in his eyes.

"He will agree."

The news on the screen clearly stated, "Wuwen Technology plans to establish a joint laboratory with the University of Science and Technology of China, focusing on the research of the ethical framework for artificial intelligence."
