After Having Everything Taken Away, She Returns As A God-Chapter 1000: His Majesty’s Tricks, Thesis Defense Judge Si Fuqing (2)
Chapter 1000: His Majesty’s Tricks, Thesis Defense Judge Si Fuqing (2)
“If you’re not good at choosing clothes, let Mr. Yu help you. Every dress and necklace he picks for you always becomes a hit. Have fun with Mr. Yu and don’t worry about the online stuff. I’ve got it covered.”
After the call ended, Si Fuqing finally understood what had happened.
She turned her head and gazed at the excessively handsome man.
His profile was bathed in the soft sunlight, casting a faint golden hue, highlighting his noble demeanor.
Yu Xiheng turned his head, his features becoming more distinct and his deep-set eyes more striking.
He said in a low voice, “I apologize.”
His apology was sincere, without a hint of perfunctoriness.
Si Fuqing stared at his face. “An apology isn’t enough. You need to take action.”
It turned out that some people could be so good-looking that it was impossible to stay angry at them.
Yu Xiheng seemed slightly amused, raising an eyebrow. “How about an end-of-year bonus, lady?”
“That’s more like it,” Si Fuqing said, picking up Little Bai and putting it in her pocket, patting its furry head. “Look how good your dad is to you, earning you some food.”
Little Bai rubbed against Si Fuqing’s palm, equally excited.
Yu Xiheng took Si Fuqing away.
After a while, YUAN Mingchi came out of his room, his eyes scanning the area. “Where’s little junior sister?”
“Her boss picked her up,” Yuejian said, stretching lazily. “She has some business in Sijiu and will be back in a couple of days.”
YUAN Mingchi narrowed his eyes, his expression calm. “I need to go to Sijiu too, to investigate what’s going on with Ji Qingwei from the Ji family.”
“Right.” Yuejian nodded. “That’s your expertise. We’re counting on you. I’m not much use here, but when you’re done investigating, you can call me when it’s time to take action.”
A murderous intent flashed in YUAN Mingchi’s delicate eyes. “This won’t be simple.”
Given Si Fuqing’s current situation, they had to protect her and prevent anyone from the Free State from discovering her.
Yuejian frowned. “Old Two has been investigating for so long but hasn’t found anything unusual about that explosion.”
YUAN Mingchi’s expression changed slightly. “He’s trustworthy. Should we tell him that little junior sister is still alive?”
“Not for now,” Yue Jian said coolly. “There are too many spies around him. We’ll discuss it when little junior sister strength recovers a bit more.”

YUAN Mingchi nodded. “That’s a good idea.”
He booked the earliest available flight to Sijiu.

The next day, at noon, after having lunch, Si Fuqing and Yu Xiheng headed to the Sijiu City First Hospital.
Several chief physicians who had worked with the program during “The Birth of an Employee” recognized Si Fuqing and greeted her. “Miss Si.”
Si Fuqing waved. “If there’s anything you need help with, just let me know.”
She bypassed the outpatient and inpatient departments and went to Cai Zhongnian’s office.
“You’re here.” Cai Zhongnian adjusted his glasses, delighted. “I haven’t had the chance to ask what you encountered in Eastern Mulberry. Professor Xiang said she’s planning to study theology.”
Si Fuqing coughed lightly. “It was nothing much, just encountered some wandering spirits, very normal stuff.”
Cai Zhongnian’s expression froze. “…Normal?”
He decided to change the subject.
“This afternoon, Great Xia University’s graduate students are starting their defenses. I got you a judge’s pass.” Cai Zhongnian handed her a black card with gold embossing. “You don’t have to come if you don’t want to, but she plagiarized your core idea, so I think your presence would be beneficial.”
Si Fuqing took the invitation, which read “Special Guest Judge.”
“I’ll go.”
“Alright then.” Cai Zhongnian nodded. “I heard you’re taking the college entrance exam this year and applying to the Great Xia University. Have you decided which department to apply to?”
Si Fuqing replied calmly, “The archaeology department.”
Cai Zhongnian was stunned.
He was hesitant to say, but eventually explained, “This major is very demanding, and the job prospects—”
He stopped himself and sighed. “I forgot you’re a celebrity. But why archaeology?”
Great Xia University’s archaeology department was indeed ranked first nationwide, but it only admitted nine students each year and often had to transfer students from other departments.
“I want to be closer to history,” Si Fuqing smiled. “And also closer to my idol, to see the traces he left in history.”
Cai Zhongnian understood she was referring to Emperor Yin, his expression turning serious. “Alright, I respect your decision.”
However, with Si Fuqing choosing archaeology, Gu Huiyan would definitely brag about it, so he had to prepare in advance.

In the afternoon, at Great Xia University, the medical graduate students were defending their theses.
Yu Tang accompanied Si Fuqing to the auditorium, looking around nervously. “Qingqing, I’m only a freshman, but I’m already worried about my future thesis defense.”
“Don’t worry,” Si Fuqing said lazily. “As long as you study hard, you’ll pass.”
They entered the defense venue, where they ran into Wu Wanying, who was arriving alone.
Wu Wanying paused, her expression turning hostile. “What are you doing here?”
If it weren’t for Si Fuqing’s tricks, she wouldn’t have lost her hand.
She suspected that the unclean things on Mount Akahara were deliberately lured by Si Fuqing to harm her.
Wu Wanying’s hatred for Si Fuqing was deeply rooted.
A celebrity should stick to the entertainment industry. Why did she always meddle in other fields?
Wu Wanying didn’t play Oracle and couldn’t understand why a mere player who was good at the game could cause such a sensation.
No matter how good Si Fuqing was at acting or esports, it didn’t matter to her.
Did she really think that participating in a medical job-seeking variety show made her a doctor?
Yu Tang scoffed. “What’s it to you? Did you pave this road?”
Wu Wanying’s face turned livid. “You!”
Si Fuqing ignored her and entered the defense hall with Yu Tang.
Seeing her enter so confidently, Wu Wanying’s eyes turned cold. She turned to the staff in charge of registration. “Our medical defense doesn’t allow outsiders, right? She’s a celebrity. If her brainless fans swarm in, how are we supposed to defend?”
The staff was taken aback. “You mean Miss Si? She—”
“Wanying, what are you doing at the door?” Professor Li called from the hall. “Come in quickly, the judges are all seated. Get ready.”
Wu Wanying hurried forward. “Coming, teacher.”
Inside the hall, the judges’ seats were indeed already filled.
Wu Wanying sat in the back, waiting. Once everyone was present, the host took the stage.
“Today, we are delighted to gather here for the Great Xia University Medical Graduate Student Defense.” He smiled, holding a microphone. “Now, let me introduce today’s thesis defense leaders and mentors.”
“Mr. Cai Zhongnian, Professor Delt from International Medical Organization—”
Wu Wanying watched intently, her excitement growing.
The host paused, his smile widening. “There’s another teacher everyone should recognize. Some of you might even be her fans.”
Everyone was stunned.
Under Wu Wanying’s increasingly stiff gaze, Si Fuqing stood up and greeted the audience.
Applause erupted.
“Miss Si is our special guest judge today, personally appointed by Mr. Cai Zhongnian. She also solved this year’s International Medical Organization’s problem!” the host announced. “Although she won’t be scoring or questioning, her opinion will influence the defense results. Please be prepared.”
“First up, Wu Wanying!”
