Chapter 745: 296 lying to win, Jiang Xijue_1
Bai Lian sat on the chair, passing something with her left hand to the side while her other hand continued to respond to Sun Fei’s messages.
She did it with ease and casualness.
Even though Hu Yue felt it should be quite heavy, she used both hands to receive Bai Lian’s canvas bag.
But the moment she took hold of it, she underestimated its weight, and the overbearing palladium gold made her involuntarily stumble forward.
Bai Lian’s head did not lift, yet her hand accurately supported the bag, “Senior sister, be careful.”
Once she steadied herself, Bai Lian raised her eyebrows and eyes, holding her phone, shedding her lethargy, her beautiful brows and eyes revealing a sharp edge.
Hu Yue found it somewhat dazzling. After steadying herself, she gripped the bag with both hands and placed it on the table. She unzipped it and asked about the song from yesterday, “I couldn’t find that song even with a different software.”
As for the “palladium” mentioned by Bai Lian, Hu Yue didn’t really pay attention.
“It hasn’t been released yet and will take some time,” Bai Lian stood up again, “Senior sister, you keep these for now, I might need to take another leave this afternoon.”
She needed to make another trip to Yunxiao District.
“Oh, sure, it’s fine— the teachers don’t have much going on anyway.” While Hu Yue pondered how she got a demo if it hadn’t been released yet, she was startled by the contents of the opened bag the next second.
Inside were several dozen chicken-egg-sized silver-white metal squares.
The front was engraved with numbers and letters—
46
Pd
palladium
106.42
Having dealt with palladium gold for the past two years, Hu Yue recognized at a glance what it was.
After realizing it, she quickly closed the canvas bag, concealing the palladium gold inside, “Palladium gold… this is real…”
This was the most palladium gold Hu Yue had ever seen in the laboratory at one time.
Tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions…
Together, these pieces of palladium gold were more extravagant than gold itself. When their laboratory obtained a kilogram, they treated it as if it were the God of Wealth, let alone now with such a large bag.
“Senior…” Hu Yue leaned on the table and looked up to find Bai Lian, but Bai Lian had already left the room.
“Senior brother,” now knowing what was in the bag was palladium, Hu Yue easily lifted the 30 pounds of palladium and handed it to Liu Yu, the senior brother. She earnestly instructed, “This is palladium; take good care of it while I go and fetch the teacher back!”

The Dean’s office at Huang Institute.
Zhou Wenqing was in the midst of a heated debate with the department head, “Liu Yu is still an excellent graduate of the physics college, Dean Lin, are you making my four students take the fall?”
“How did this turn into a matter of taking the fall,” the department head looked towards the dean, “Dean Huang, you tell us, we have been assigned a task from above, and this project has been at a standstill for so long.”
“Stop talking crap!” Zhou Wenqing scoffed, “If you gave us ten pounds of materials every year, I would have produced the materials for you last year…”
“Dean Zhou,” Dean Lin pushed up his glasses, equally frustrated, “Every ounce of this rare precious metal is precious. Even Ma Institute’s laboratory might not have enough to use, where should we apply for more?”
Outside, Hu Yue had the teaching assistant pass a message to Zhou Wenqing.
The teaching assistant hesitated at the door before entering, “Professor Zhou, Hu Yue asked you to return to the laboratory first, she has something important to tell you.”
Zhou Wenqing hadn’t reached a conclusion in his argument with Dean Lin and didn’t want to give in easily, but the assistant’s voice softened, “Hu Yue said Bai Lian brought palladium back, it’s in the lab.”
Zhou Wenqing’s curse was caught in his throat as he slowly turned his head.
Thinking of “thirty pounds,” he didn’t even have the time to continue his debate with Dean Lin and turned to leave.
Dean Lin watched his retreating figure and called after him, “Professor Zhou, you have to deliver results by the end of the year, regardless!”
Downstairs.
Bai Shaoke and Zuo Jinhua arrived at the Physics building.
From a distance, they saw the hurried figure of Zhou Wenqing. Bai Shaoke recognized Zhou Wenqing, “Is that Professor Zhou? What happened to him?”
“His laboratory has been rather disturbed lately,” Zuo Jinhua withdrew his gaze, not particularly concerned, “The project isn’t getting results, and he’s got a team that’s dragging them down. His laboratory is going to be dissolved by the end of the year.”
He also felt thankful for his own decision not to take over the group of students from Bai Lian.
Otherwise, his laboratory might be the one in chaos.
Bai Shaoke lowered his gaze, knowing that Zhou Wenqing was Bai Lian’s supervisor. He masked the light in his eyes, “That’s truly unfortunate.”
**
The inner office of Zhou Wenqing’s laboratory.
Himself, Hu Yue, and three senior brothers.
They surrounded the table, where thirty neatly arranged square palladium gold blocks were displayed.
Senior brother Liu put down the experimental equipment and took a deep breath, “This is really palladium gold, thirty pounds.”
