Chapter 165 Jiang Wan: I'm just lucky
The professor took out a stack of research reports and placed them in front of Jiang Wan.
"This is a research project that I just started working on with a professor from the University of Edinburgh during the holidays."
"Your teacher would like to recommend you to study in the UK for a year as a dual 'project assistant + exchange student'."
What are your thoughts?
Jiang Wan was stunned by this good news.
She blinked and voiced the question that had been bothering her.
"Teacher, why me?"
The professor picked up his teacup, calmly took a sip, put the teacup down, and slowly began to speak.
"I analyzed the grades of all students in our major over the past three years."
"You are one of the ones who have been making progress, and each assignment you submit expands on a lot of extracurricular knowledge."
"This shows that you've been enriching yourself in private."
"In addition, I heard from my classmates that you also use your spare time to write manuscripts for others, and you've even started writing a book now."
"Your teacher appreciates your positive attitude."
"This research project is currently in its initial stage and requires the deep involvement of assistants and communication between both parties."
"You are good at your major, have a strong learning spirit, and are calm and patient. You are the best candidate in my mind."
No student could refuse such an opportunity.
Without even thinking, Jiang Wan shouted, "I'm fine!"
She jumped up from her chair and bowed deeply to the teacher.
"Thank you for your guidance, my teacher. I will certainly live up to your expectations!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the professor's hearty laughter echoed through the office.
"Not bad, not bad, I knew I hadn't misjudged you."
Jiang Wan's face broke into dimples, and she looked like she was soaking in a honey pot from head to toe, so happy she was completely lost.
He received a government-funded scholarship to study abroad and also had access to research projects.
Whether you pursue further studies abroad or complete your master's or doctoral degree in China, it will be a significant addition to your resume.
Jiang Wan suddenly thought of something else.
"By the way, teacher, should I come back directly next year to participate in my graduation defense at our own university?"
"right."
Jiang Wan was delighted, but then became concerned about the time.
"When are you leaving?"
"I'll submit your documents this week, and I estimate you'll be leaving by the end of September."
"The deadline for your research project is next May, and you'll be back to defend it then."
Jiang Wan was now completely free of worries.
She took the application form and research materials and left the office.
Holding heavy documents in his arms, his feet felt like they were on springs.
She took out her phone and sent a message to Shang Shixu.
Brother, let's have dinner together tonight.
I have good news to tell you!
The other side replied very quickly.
What good news?
Jiang Wan kept everyone in suspense: 【I won't tell you yet~】
Okay, I'll pick you up from school after get off work.
【Uh-huh】
Jiang Wan put away her phone and walked back to her dormitory.
Ten minutes later, she pushed open the dormitory door.
Zhou Feiyan sat cross-legged on the bed, eating an apple while playing on her phone.
Li Zhile was hunched over her homework, while Wang Yurong leaned back in her chair, scrolling through short videos and giggling.
Jiang Wan placed the documents on the table. Zhou Feiyan, who was in a higher position, glanced down at them.
"Wanwan, what are you holding?"
She asked, her mouth full of apple, her words muffled.
Jiang Wan didn't answer immediately. Instead, she turned around, leaned against the table, and clapped her hands.
"Sisters, I have something to announce."
The sound drew the attention of all three.
Wang Yurong: "What's up?"
Jiang Wan: "I'm lucky."
Li Zhile: "You won the lottery? How big of a prize?"
Jiang Wan: "No, it's that I'm going abroad to study!"
After he finished speaking, the dormitory was silent for two seconds.
Zhou Feiyan forgot to chew the apple in her mouth.
Wang Yurong sat up straight.
The pen in Li Zhile's hand fell onto the table, and she was the first to react.
"You're going to study abroad? We're already seniors, aren't you going to wait until graduation?"
Jiang Wan picked up the application form on the table, turned around, and faced them.
"It won't affect my graduation next year."
"I was there as a research assistant and exchange student."
"What? What? What?" Zhou Feiyan jumped out of bed at lightning speed and squeezed in front of Jiang Wan with two other people.
The three of them carefully examined the form.
This is Zhang's application form for the University of Edinburgh.
Wang Yurong exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, a research assistant position! There's only one spot, and your professor recommended you?"
"Yes, he just contacted me today."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Wang Yurong slapped her on the shoulder, "Wanwan, you're amazing!"
Jiang Wan smiled, her eyes crinkling.
Zhou Feiyan stroked her chin. "Edinburgh...isn't that where Rowling wrote Harry Potter?"
Li Zhile glanced at her, "You do know how to grasp the key points."
Zhou Feiyan stuck out her tongue and looked at Jiang Wan, "When are you leaving?"
"The professor said it would be at the end of the month."
"The end of the month?" she raised her voice. "That's only two weeks left!"
Jiang Wan nodded.
The three people's expressions instantly changed from joy to melancholy.
All good things must come to an end; this is a truth that everyone knows.
I thought we could spend another year together, but I never expected to have to say goodbye so soon.
Each eggplant looked wilted and listless, like a frostbitten eggplant.
Seeing her roommates looking downcast, Jiang Wan felt a pang of sadness.
She suppressed her sadness, trying not to let it show.
"Okay, don't be sad anymore. I'll chat with you guys in the group often."
"And I'll be back next May for my graduation defense."
The three people's expressions improved, and Jiang Wan continued, "Before we leave, I'll treat everyone to a big meal!"
The three of them shouted in unison, "Yes!!!"

At 6:30 p.m., Jiang Wan walked out of the South Gate.
Shang Shixu's car was already parked there.
The car window rolled down, revealing his cold, handsome profile.
Jiang Wan opened the passenger door, got in, and heard a man's pleasant, deep voice beside her.
"What would you like to eat?"
Jiang Wan fastened her seatbelt. "Let's go to the Cloud Top. It's been so long since I've been there."
"it is good."
The engine is started in the business sequence.
The car entered the main road and merged into the evening rush hour traffic.
As the neon lights gradually illuminated, the evening in Haicheng was breathtakingly beautiful.
Upon arrival at the cloud, the manager had already prepared a private room.
Shang Shixu picked up his teacup, leaned back in his chair, and watched her with great interest.
"Tell me, what's the good news?"
Jiang Wan stopped keeping everyone in suspense and began to explain.
"My professor talked to me today and recommended me for a research assistant position."
"I need to go to the University of Edinburgh in the UK for a year of further study."
The private room fell silent for a moment.
The cicadas chirping outside the window made a soft, fragmented sound that seeped in through the cracks.
Jiang Wan observed his expression.
The man paused for a moment, then his expression returned to normal.
"That's good... When are you leaving?"
"Expected by the end of the month."
The man tapped the rim of the teacup twice with his fingers, without saying a word.
Jiang Wan got up, walked around the table, and came to his side.
She reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Is your brother unhappy?"
