CHAPTER 383: CHAPTER 130: WHEN FALSE IS TRUE AND TRUE IS FALSE (PART 2)

"Director Guang Lin’s consent is not enough." Zhang Ye bluntly countered, "These lotus flowers are treasures of the entire Blue Star University. If you really want to pick them, you’d better get the principal’s approval too."

Wenren Yu: ...

"I think it’s much more relaxing to admire them from the shore during summer. Why go through all the trouble to damage them?" Wenren Yu immediately switched gears, abandoning the food-related plans that had arisen in his mind, and began to "seriously" appreciate the lotus flowers.

Hmm, edible, yet inedible, lotus flowers.

Du Xixi and the others exchanged glances and smiled, their closeness visible to the naked eye, clearly indicating a good relationship. Seeing this, the students on the side finally relaxed.

They had been genuinely astonished by Du Xixi’s presence earlier. On the floating bus before arrival, those wealthy students had indeed been discrediting Du Xixi. They assumed that even if such discredit reached her, Du Xixi would maintain a surface calm and lower her stance as expected by the wealthy students to avoid any unpleasant rumors.

But Du Xixi was much more assertive than anticipated! She didn’t show any sign of weakness or retreat. Instead, she was very commanding! She completely embodied the aura an Empress should have!

The girl who had been shielding the shy girl glanced at Du Xixi’s profile and noticed her demeanor was now gentle and courteous, soft as a dough ready to be kneaded and flattened.

But...

She lowered her eyes, not letting anyone see the admiration in them. Not just anyone could come up and knead and flatten Du Xixi. Only those close to her might get to see her true self, right?

It must be said, in the face of those ugly attitudes earlier, Du Xixi was simply stunning!

The group moved slowly, admiring this and that along the way, and by the time they reached the Food Department, quite some time had passed. The new students were in awe of the newly constructed floors of the Food Department.

"If I’m lucky enough to get into the Food Department, I’d surely come downstairs every day to admire this masterpiece!" A boy wearing black-framed glasses looked up, carefully observing the external structure and color arrangement of the Food Department buildings, "It’s simply magical, I wonder which genius designed it."

"It’s said that several professors from the Architecture Department were involved personally, and the professors from the neighboring Art Department also brought their students for onsite inspection," Wenren Yu, being the head of the Food Department, took on the role of "commentator" voluntarily, "Isn’t it beautiful? The buildings within Blue Star University are mostly handled by our own people."

Blue Star University has always saved funds wherever possible, after all, keeping the goodies in the family. Self-sufficiency is something the university has mastered skillfully.

The boy was astonished, not expecting the geniuses to be in the school, and exclaimed directly, "Amazing! If there’s ever a chance, I’d surely pay homage to these masters properly!"

Du Xixi and the others laughed, thinking this boy might not be suited for the Food Department. The Architecture Department or the Art Department, a few hundred meters away, might suit him better.

The group took the escalator upstairs, bypassing other classrooms. Du Xixi and the others, already familiar with the place, led the students to their usual culinary practice classroom.

Du Xixi and the others were now quite adept at using this space, making it more convenient. Moreover, as the department hadn’t officially opened yet, using other classrooms would be somewhat wasteful.

"Everyone, please state your names." He Yuan, being the other female professor besides Du Xixi, took the initiative, easily helping the students to relax.

"Fu Lu." The boy who was immensely interested in the Food Department’s architecture spoke first.

He Yuan glanced at him, noting that he looked just like the photo in the records, then made a note on her Light Computer, categorizing Fu Lu under the "approved" group: "Next one."

"Shen Yiyi."

"...Shan Zhi."

Two girls spoke one after another; Shen Yiyi was evidently the more confident, aloof one, while Shan Zhi stood by her side. Although she seemed bolder than when they first met, she still didn’t dare to stand out alone.

"Next one."

"Wu Feng."

"Next one."

"Li Shengyu."

While He Yuan was recording names, Du Xixi and her group had already put on aprons and washed their hands thoroughly. Since they were quite a distance from He Yuan, Chen Si whispered, not worrying about being heard by the students.
