"It didn't pass the review?" Zuo Li was surprised. "How could it not pass the review?"
"Hello, Professor Zuo. S-3019 was rejected during the final review," the staff member replied patiently. "Because there was another paper published at the same time, also in the field of astrophysics."
"The judges chose another paper in the end, so the paper you submitted was not accepted."
"Another paper?" Zuo Li was stunned. "Which professor is it? Can I take a look? "
"I'm sorry, Professor Zuo." The staff member shook his head. "Before it is officially published in a scientific journal, the reviewed papers are strictly confidential."
Zuo Li's eyebrows furrowed even tighter, but he didn't say anything.
He had forgotten about this.
There were many researchers in the field of astrophysics, and many of them had been studying it for decades.
Ying Zijin's paper had a novel point of view.
After he finished reading it, he thought that she had already explored the universe.
But compared to those professors in their sixties and seventies, she was still lacking in terms of academics.
After all, they had been famous for a long time, but Ying Zijin had only started studying for a year.
It was reasonable that her paper did not pass the review because it clashed with another paper.
It could only be said that she was unlucky.
"Alright then." Zuo Li could only say, "Please return S-3019. I'll forward it to another institution."
The International Centre of Physics was authoritative, but it didn't mean that he could only choose one.
Hearing this, the staff member paused for a few seconds before replying, "Okay, Professor Zuo. I'll return it for you now."
After Zuo Li took back the paper, he decided to let Ying Zijin know before he sent it in for the second time.
"Mr Ying, about that paper, hey hey hey, don't hang up. I didn't ask you to write it!" Zuo Li almost couldn't catch his breath. "I really didn't ask you to write it."
He was traumatized.
Ying Zijin didn't hang up the phone. "Professor Zuo, please go ahead."
Zuo Li was speechless.
How obedient. This change was too sudden. His little heart couldn't take it.
"I just want to apologize. Your paper clashed with another paper from the same period, so it was rejected." Zuo Li sighed. "I'm going to send you to another institution that specializes in astrophysics."
Ying Zijin: "Oh."
"Is that your reaction?" Zuo Li could only suppress her stomach full of comforting words, "Alright, little ancestor, I won't disturb you anymore. I'll definitely get things done for you."
Compared to her peers, Ying Zijin was naturally far superior.
However, in the scientific research world, she did need a thesis to gain a foothold.
Without an honorary title, one could never be called a professor.
However, Zuo Li also realized that she didn't really care about these things.
"I see." Ying Zijin decided to show some concern for Zuo Li. "I'll write another paper."
Zuo Li's eyes had yet to light up.
The next second, he heard another sentence.
"If you don't want to write about physics, write about biology."
Zuo Li suddenly fell from heaven to hell.
He forced a smile and wanted to cry. "Biology is fine too. It's your strong suit. I'll contact the biology department for you."
"Thank you, Professor Zuo." Ying Zijin finished speaking and ended the call.
Fu Yunshen just walked out of the kitchen and waved. "Come and eat."
Ying Zijin walked over and sat down at the dining table. She picked up a piece of fish and said, "I have to go to Danmeng in a few days."
The ancient medicine and ancient martial arts world only celebrated the Lunar New Year, so December 31st was nothing special to them.
Therefore, on January 2nd, Danmeng was still teaching.
If it wasn't for the fact that the first place in the exam would increase the amount of medicinal herbs, she would definitely not go.
Ying Zijin ate and said lightly, "My martial arts is still too weak. I'm going to go into seclusion for a while."
No matter what, she had to cultivate ancient martial arts for a hundred years and break through to ancient martial arts master.
"Hmm?" Hearing this, Fu Yunshen tapped her forehead with his empty hand and smiled. "Yaoyao, if other people hear this, they'll beat you up."
The ancient martial arts geniuses of their generation, such as Fui Tsuki and Xie Nian, had only just passed the threshold of fifty years of cultivation.
The Lin, Xie, and Yue families didn't even dare to think about going beyond that.
He was able to reach his current level of cultivation because he was forced to face death again and again.
However, the ancient martial arts geniuses of other families didn't dare to constantly hover between life and death.
They were steady and stable.
Approaching death could help people break through their limits, but what if they really died?
"It's too slow." Ying Zijin was silent for a moment. "There are many things that can't be done."
"There's no need to be so anxious." Fu Yunshen said lightly. "What's coming will come."
After the meal, Ying Zijin returned to the sofa to watch TV.
Fu Yunshen put the bowls and chopsticks into the automatic dishwasher. "Is there anything else you need help with?"
Ying Zijin put down the pig pillow and thought for a moment. "There's something I need help with."
Fu Yunshen nodded. "What is it?"
"I don't want to move. Help me take a shower."
There was a moment of silence in the living room.
Fu Yunshen's first reaction was that the Ji family had many villas.
They were living in a different house from Wen Fengmian and Wen Tinglan.
"Yaoyao." Fu Yunshen held his forehead and smiled helplessly. His voice was low and restrained. "Do you really know what you're talking about?"
"I know. Take a shower." Ying Zijin glanced at him. "Why are you overreacting?"
Because of that mysterious point, her body was damaged and her divination ability was sealed.
For the past two days, she would never sit if she could lie down. Indeed, she was lazy when it came to other things.
"Men and women are different."
"Yes, I know. That's why I'm looking for you. Aren't you my boyfriend?"
The girl's tone was steady, but every word was ignited in his heart.
In the end, Ying Zijin said thoughtfully, "Do you want me to find someone else?"
Fu Yunshen was completely defeated.
He couldn't refute that.
However, if he bathed her, he would be the one suffering.
Fu Yunshen went to the bathroom and came out a few minutes later. "The hot water and towels are ready. They're new. I'll pass you the clothes. Wash them yourself."
Ying Zijin reluctantly agreed. "Okay."
She paused and asked, "Did the research company under Venus Group invent an automatic shower machine?"
Fu Yunshen looked a little complicated. "That's for the elderly and the disabled. Yaoyao, you …"
"Give me one." Ying Zijin changed into slippers and walked into the bathroom. "As long as you can help me take a shower."
"…"
Fu Yunshen raised his eyebrows. He picked up his phone and called the chief financial officer, Ian. "Give me the information on the automatic shower machine."
"I'm in charge of money, but I've become your handyman!" Ian felt a lump in his throat, but he could only agree. "Okay, brother. I'll give it to you now."
Soon, a document was sent to Fu Yunshen's phone.
The introduction was as follows.
Lie in it and press the switch. This machine will automatically apply shampoo and shower gel, rinse and dry your hair.
In addition to taking a shower, it can also be used for a spa.
It's fully automatic service. You deserve it.
Fu Yunshen fell silent as he read the introduction.
Therefore, in addition to being a means of transportation, he was also an automatic shower machine.
**
On the night of December 31st.
Family Mu and Nie family's old mansion were empty. A group of people had gone to watch the New Year's Eve party live on the main TV station.
Meng Qingxue didn't listen to the first elder and sneaked out again.
However, when she arrived at Family Mu, it was empty.
Not to mention Mu Heqing, even Mu Cheng wasn't there. Only Butler Mu and the other servants were eating.
After Mu Heqing retired, Meng Qingxue had been taking care of his illness until Ying Zijin cured him.
Everyone in Family Mu knew about this.
Butler Mu was in charge of Family Mu's affairs and naturally knew Meng Qingxue. He couldn't help but be surprised and nervous. "Miss Meng?"
Last time, when Meng Qingxue suddenly vomited blood, it really scared Mu Heqing.
Fortunately, Family Meng didn't come looking for her.
Meng Qingxue was very disappointed that she didn't see the person she wanted to meet. She pursed her lips. "Nothing. You guys eat. I'll leave first."
Butler Mu didn't dare to have any contact with Meng Qingxue and watched her leave.
"Miss, go back quickly." On the way, the guard looked at the sky. "It's going to snow. You can't stand the cold."
When he turned his head, he found Meng Qingxue staring at a big screen across the road.
On the big screen, it was the live broadcast of the main TV station's New Year's Eve party.
The camera swept to the VIP seats and happened to capture Fu Yunshen.
Meng Qingxue recognized the girl sitting next to him. She saw her at Family Mu that day.
"No wonder he didn't return to the ancient martial arts world." Meng Qingxue murmured. "It's because he has such a good life in the secular world. That girl is better than me."
The guard frowned. "Miss, you're the best."
"No, I'm not good." Meng Qingxue forced a smile. "My body is weak and I can die at any time. It's natural that he likes young and beautiful girls. I'm not good enough for him."
The guard didn't have a good impression of Fu Yunshen at all and disagreed. "Miss, he's not good enough for you."
"Furthermore, Young Miss, it's not like there's no way to treat your body at all. The ancient medical world is saying that Old Ancestor Fuxi's master has returned. Your father has already said that when Old Ancestor Fuxi finds her master, our Old Ancestor will personally go to the Fu Family to beg."
Fu Xi was so kind, and her master couldn't be any worse.
Meng Qingxue was a young ancient medical genius. For the development of ancient medicine, she wouldn't leave her in the lurch.
After all, the ancestors loved talents.
Meng Qingxue didn't say anything else and leaned back in her wheelchair.
The guard sighed and returned to Family Meng.
**
Two days later, Danmeng.
Ying Zijin was in class with a group of fourth-level members.
Because she was extremely good-looking and was the youngest member with the best grades in this group of members, she wasn't wearing a long gown.
Many people raised their heads to look at her.
Ying Zijin stood at the front and pulled down the brim of her baseball cap to cover half of her face.
She stood in a group of white-haired old people and didn't seem to fit in.
"Today, I'll teach you the refining method of the Heart Protection Pill." On the stage, an old man stroked his beard. "As the name suggests, this is a pill that protects the heart meridian. It prevents the heart meridian from exploding during the process of cultivation."
"We specially invited Family Meng's Miss Qing Xue and Fu Family's Young Master Fu Chen to take charge."
This time, the people below were excited.
Ying Zijin raised her head and looked at Fu Chen.
His facial features were regular, and his forehead was full.
Fu Chen was Fu Xi's direct descendant.
She didn't remember Fu Xi's appearance very clearly.
They should look similar.
"Miss Ying is first. First, Miss Ying will give you a demonstration." The old man said again, "Miss Ying, please take a step forward. This is the prescription."
"The refining process of the Heart Protection Pill will be explained to you by Young Master Fu Chen. Now …"
Before the old man could finish, Meng Qingxue interrupted, "Let me do it."
Fu Chen shrugged.
He hoped that this job would be taken away by someone else and not bother him.
The old man was surprised. "Then let Miss Qing Xue do it."
Meng Qingxue coughed twice and smiled. "Miss Ying, these are the herbs for refining the Heart Protection Pill. If you can perfectly control the temperature and wind, using these herbs, the efficiency of the pill can reach 90%."
"Of course, this is your first time. As long as you reach 50%, you pass."
Before Meng Qingxue came, she didn't expect to meet Ying Zijin in Danmeng.
That was true.
If Fu Yunshen liked someone, she wouldn't be too bad.
But she still didn't want to admit defeat.
Ying Zijin only glanced at the prescription and put it down. "No need. You can start now."
"…"
When these words came out, the audience fell silent.
Meng Qingxue was slightly stunned.
Fu Chen was very surprised.
He hadn't even taught her the specific steps, and she could already start?
The Heart Protection Pill was different from other pills. There was no way to understand the refining method by self-study.
The requirements were too harsh.
For the first time, she didn't have an ancient doctor to guide her.
Even Meng Qingxue and Fu Chen couldn't do it.
Wasn't this too arrogant?
The old man's expression became colder. "Okay, then you can start."
Ying Zijin walked straight to the centermost furnace and sat down cross-legged.
Meng Qingxue held a handkerchief to the corner of her mouth. She frowned slightly and looked over.
She also wanted to know whether Ying Zijin was bragging or if she could really refine the Heart Protection Pill in one go.
