After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 175

Chapter 175: Chapter 175 Baby... Dreamed of You

Old Mr. Ji Weiyuan is a man of high integrity and pride, embodying some scholarly elegance, and rarely lowers his posture so actively toward anyone.

Moreover, the person he excitedly shook hands with and thanked was a girl nearly forty to fifty years younger than him, still attending high school.

"A young hero," clearly shows his sincere appreciation.

"Old Mr. Ji flatters me," Lu Sheng responded, gripping Ji Weiyuan’s hand earnestly, "I merely did what a Chinese person ought to do, it’s nothing special."

"Compared to me, who has a talent in combat strength, Ji Yan, who went to compete risking his life for the artifacts, truly deserves the most admiration."

Ji Weiyuan hadn’t expected such a young girl to speak and behave with a humility and steadiness beyond her years.

When praised and expressed gratitude by him, her first reaction was not to boast about herself but to mention her grandson’s patriotic zeal and dedication in front of him.

This naturally gave Ji Weiyuan a great fondness for the girl he had just met.

These days, capable yet humble and low-key children of this age are rare.

"Not at all," Ji Yan blushed, scratching his head, "Actually, I know that with my physique, I can hardly win any competition. Without you, how could the artifacts have been won back?"

"But..." Ji Yan looked at Lu Sheng, "When we met, you were wearing a panda mask the whole time. I couldn’t guess your age. I thought you were young, but I didn’t expect you to be so young, just attending senior high third year."

"You’re in your third year of high school this year?" Hearing this, Ji Weiyuan seemed to think of something, "Are you studying in a school in Jiang City?"

"Yes," Lu Sheng nodded.

Ji Weiyuan immediately asked Lu Sheng, "Do you have any plans on which university you want to attend in China?"

Ji Weiyuan is a distinguished professor in the Archaeology Department at Beijing University.

The archaeology department is among the least popular majors in various universities, not an exception even for Beijing University, the pinnacle of education in all of China.

Beijing University’s archaeology department barely has more than twenty students, and even fewer among these students are genuinely dedicated to the field of archaeology.

Each time he teaches, Ji Weiyuan feels disappointed, regretting that he hasn’t encountered a child who is both calm and hardworking to be his closed-door disciple.

So when Lu Sheng mentioned that she was reading senior third year, Ji Weiyuan immediately became interested.

Although he didn’t know the girl’s academic performance, just by her speech and conduct, he could tell that she was morally upright and fond of protecting cultural artifacts.

In archaeology and ancient cultural studies, one doesn’t need outstanding academic performance; avoiding arrogance and rashness, not pursuing fame and profit, and being stable and pragmatic are the most important traits.

In a while, the special recruitment of talented individuals at Beijing University will begin, and he happens to have a recommendation slot.

Such a good child, he must find a way to keep her by his side.

So Ji Weiyuan immediately asked Lu Sheng, "Child, would you like to study at Beijing University in the future?"

"I am a professor in the Archaeology Department at Beijing University, are you interested in the field of archaeology?"

Ji Weiyuan actually asked the girl if she wanted to study at Beijing University.

For the vast majority of Chinese students, Beijing University is an unattainable pinnacle institution, normally only accessible to the top scorers from each province.

Most people would nod without hesitation upon hearing such a question, yet Lu Sheng stood there thinking for a moment.

"Beijing University... indeed, it’s my dream university."

"But I am interested in many majors and fields, and I am not yet sure which one I want to study in university."

"Okay then." Not hearing a definite answer from the girl, Ji Weiyuan was obviously somewhat disappointed, but he also felt it was normal.

"Child, Xiao Yan and I came to Jiang City this time to inspect an ancient building in a small town nearby, and we’re probably setting out early tomorrow."

"How about this, we exchange contact information, and if you want to pursue a career in archaeology in the future, you can contact me anytime."

Saying this, Ji Weiyuan took out his phone.
