The Mysterious Heiress: Researcher In Disguise

The morning session when they got back to school the next day was a general class that was held in the assembly hall.

The main speaker was Nian Feiyuan, the director from Hang Yuan.

It had been a week since the first day of their exchange meeting. Since they were here to learn from each other, it went without saying that the students from Hang Yuan had to show No.1 High School some color.

The school authority summoned all the 3rd year students to the assembly hall at 7 o’clock in the morning.

Fu Zhi and her group occupied the last row. The moment they arrived at the hall, Wu Zhiyou came up to Fu Zhi with a pen and paper in her hand. She had an arrogant expression on her face, but her voice was laced with anxiety when she was talking, “Erm, I didn’t expect you to be Pure Feather and I’m one of your fans… Since you’ve given your autograph to other people, can you give me one as well?”

Fu Zhi lifted her head and looked at Wu Zhiyou. Both of them represented two different schools, and by right, Wu Zhiyou should refrain herself a little bit in the public. Could she not see that her brother’s eyes were spewing fire?

Wu Zhiyou’s heart leaped into her throat. She looked calm on the surface, but she was actually very nervous. “What are you looking at? I’ve bought a lot of your books and I like you, so do you have a problem with that?”

A few girls from Hang Yuan were also looking at them. When they saw Fu Zhi nod and took over the pen and paper to autograph for Wu Zhiyou, they also approached her and said, “We want one too, can you sign one for us? You’re so pretty and your skin is so fair. By the way, we read your book every day and we’re looking forward to your new work!”

As they were talking, a few more girls came up to her.

Their commotion had caught the attention of the students from No.1 High School. In normal days, students from other classes did not want to interact with the students from Class 21 at all. This was because they felt the students from Class 21 were a bunch of uneducated barbarians, often excluding them from any school activities due to their poor academic performance.

However, ever since Fu Zhi joined Class 21, more and more people started accepting Class 21 and Ma Mingquan.

That said, there were still some people who still loathed Class 21 and were jealous of Ma Mingquan. Qian Wenrui was one of them.

There were nights when she would jerk up from her sleep thinking about one question.

Why must she look down on Fu Zhi?

She was such a good student. She knew how to play musical instruments and she was a literary giant.

However, there was no use crying over spilled milk. Qian Wenrui was the one who pushed such a good student away.

Qian Wenrui glanced at Ma Mingquan, her eyes filled with jealousy and she could taste blood from her mouth.

Seeing her reaction, Song Fang clicked his tongue in wonder, “This is strange. No matter what Zhizhi has done in the past, Qian Wenrui sure has something to say to her. Even if she doesn’t have anything to comment on, she would roll her eyes at her, but why is she so quiet this time?”

“Seriously? You really don’t know why?” Lu Yumo sighed, “She’s stunned by my sister’s varieties of identities, of course.”

Then, a voice erupted from a distance not far away, “Hmph! She’s the only one who knows if she’s taking the name “Pure Feather” seriously. Someone acts as if she doesn’t care about fame and reputation, but she has to make everyone know that she’s Pure Feather!”

Well, from the voice alone they all could know who the person was.

Song Fang kicked the chair in front of him and scoffed lightly, “At least she has something to brag about, unlike someone, who has nothing but an ugly look.”

“Song Fang! How can you talk to me like that?”

“Why can’t I talk to you like that? Do you really think that I don’t dare to beat you, huh? Stop using Lu Chuwan as your excuse to fool around. If you’re really so free, you should think what you should do to get back those business deals that the Mu Corporation has lost recently because of your stupid brain and mouth!”

The Mu Corporation was facing a lot of troubles recently. A lot of companies had terminated their cooperation with the Mu Corporation, and the companies they invested in were taken to court because they were temporarily unable to get the funds.

This was all because Fu Zhi got the TV reporters to supervise Mr. Fu donated 100 million yuan, and the downfall of the Mu Family started from the gathering.

Mu Changqing just hoped that the money he donated would not go down the drain. He wished to save the image of the Mu Corporation through the donation and stop the stock of the Mu Corporation from depreciating.

Mu Chenxi’s eyes turned red in anger after she heard what Song Fang had said. “We’re in class now, so I’m not going to argue with you. Just you wait! I’m sure you will regret one day for taking Fu Zhi’s side!”

Song Fang replied flatly, “I don’t really mind if you want to keep this conversation going. After all, it’s kinda fun and it’s not an everyday thing to talk to someone with brain damage.”

Mu Chenxi was speechless.

At the same time, on the stage.

Looking at Fu Zhi, who was sitting amongst a group of boys, Ouyang Ya scoffed coldly.

‘What a shameless sl*t! I should really ask Mrs. Li to come and see the true nature of the daughter-in-law that she likes!’

Just when she was immersed in her own thoughts, the phone on the table rang and the dark expression on her face ebbed away a little.

She rose to her feet and went to a corner to answer the call. After she had finished the call, she said something to Director Liu.

Director Liu hastily sprang up from his seat and followed behind Ouyang Ya to welcome someone.

The person who was coming was the hacker that the elder of the Ouyang Family introduced to Ouyang Ya. He went by the name Raptor.

As the saying went, there were different specialists in different fields. Although several disciples of the Ouyang Family majored in firearms design and had shown great talent in firearms design, they were lacking in other fields.

Raptor was a professional hacker who the elder of the Ouyang Family hired from the Hacker Alliance.

He would be assisting Ouyang Ya throughout the entire exchange meeting.

On the stage, Nian Feiyuan was teaching fervently on how to solve a tricky Chemistry question. At the same time, he kept darting a glance at Fu Zhi from time to time.

Nian Feiyuan was still unable to forget the humiliation they received from Fu Zhi a few days ago.

Fu Zhi was sleeping right now, but whenever she raised her head, Nian Feiyuan’s heart would leap into his throat.

He was worried that Fu Zhi might point out his mistake and the last thing he wanted was to get laughed at by so many students.

The longer he stayed on the stage, the more nervous he became. He even had forgotten that he was also one of the outstanding teachers who had repeatedly placed third in chemistry competitions.

When someone was in a nervous state, he or she would start stuttering and they would not know where to put their hands.

As Fu Zhi got to her feet, Nian Feiyuan nearly tripped himself and his hand on the table trembled, “What… What’s the matter? Did… Did I say something wrong? Should I check it back or something? You…”

A blanket of nervousness soon dawned on the hall. The Chemistry teachers of the 3rd year students also took out a pen and a paper as they prepared to jot down the things Fu Zhi said.

“The computer crashed once because Director Liu had played games on it last time. Don’t click on the software at the corner, or the entire system will crash again. Also, I have an important document to take, so can I go out now?”

The crowd and Nian Feiyuan were speechless.

‘So I didn’t say anything wrong!’

Nian Feiyuan let out a long sigh of relief and he accidentally touched the mouse when he lifted his arm to wipe the sweat on his forehead. “Sure, sure, sure. Of course, you can go at any time you want.”

He paused for a moment before continuing carefully, “How long will it take you? If possible, I hope that you don’t come back anymore. Besides, it seems to me that you’re pretty tired as you keep dozing off in my class. Do you need me to buy you some sleeping pills so that you can take a whole bottle?”

‘A whole bottle? Don’t come back anymore? Is he asking me to die?’

Fu Zhi then said, “It’s okay. You don’t have to trouble yourself so much.”

“No, no, no, it’s no trouble at all!” Nian Feiyuan replied.

Fu Zhi did not want to talk to Nian Feiyuan anymore. Just when she was about to go out of the hall, she saw Ouyang Ya and Director Liu was leading a man into the hall.

The man was wearing a black trench coat and he had a pale face. There were black-rimmed spectacles on his face, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.

Director Liu grabbed Fu Zhi, who walked past him and said, “Look at the time. It’s only been a while and you’re ready to skip class? Do you have any respect for the law?”

“Nope,” Fu Zhi said, “After all, the Qing Dynasty has fallen a long time ago.”

Then, she looked at Director Liu and continued, “Xiao Liu, I’m just going to retrieve a document, and besides, I don’t think Nian Feiyuan wants me to stay in the hall at all. You look at him. He’s about to cry, and it will affect the other students as well if he cries, so for the greater good, I’m willing to sacrifice myself.”

It was only then Director Liu’s face lightened up a little bit. He tugged at Fu Zhi and continued, “Oh yeah, just hold on for a few seconds. I have to introduce someone to you.”

Then, Director Liu dragged Fu Zhi towards the man. “This is a member from the Hacker Alliance, and he’s one of Ms. Ouyang’s acquaintances.

He signaled at Fu Zhi to say hi to him.

Fu Zhi glanced in the direction of Director Liu’s finger.

‘A member from the Hacker Alliance?’ Fu Zhi muttered.

After that, she nodded, but Ouyang Ya seemed not happy with Fu Zhi’s attitude and she scoffed coldly.

She glanced at Director Liu, whose smile seemed to have frozen on his face, and said, “Don’t you think the student from your school is a little… erm… rude?”

“Rude? So what am I supposed to do? Bow at him, or should I shake his hand?” Fu Zhi interjected.

She looked towards the man and she could clearly see the disdain in the man’s eyes.

In fact, Fu Zhi was not wrong about the man. In his perspective, someone of his level did not have to get to know other people aside from Ouyang Ya since she was his boss right now.

The man let out a scoff and said in a condescending tone, “It’s okay. I don’t shake hands with strangers, and I won’t waste my time on such meaningless things. Let’s go in, Ms. Ouyang. Don’t waste our time on this kind of person.”

“That’s good to hear,” Fu Zhi said, “After all, I don’t think you deserve my “politeness” as well.”

The man was stunned and he thought his brain or his ears were playing a trick on him.

‘What the hell did she just say? Does she even know who I am?’

Fu Zhi turned to Director Liu and said, “I’m taking my leave now.”

After that, she turned around and left.

Ouyang Ya was dumbfounded and she asked in disbelief, “What does she mean by that?”

“I guess she doesn’t want to know him and she’s looking down on him…”

Ouyang Ya was flabbergasted and she did not know what she should say at all.
