Little Junior Sister is already very outstanding now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being able to publish a thesis in Universe magazine at the age of sixteen was enough to prove her excellence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest did not matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Real gold could shine anywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Niannian thought of another matter and casually asked, “Junior Sister, you were only sixteen when you published that thesis. Why didn’t you publish another after that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, she said, “I had some family matters to handle at that time, so I put it on hold for a while.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Niannian was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Yi sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How can it be so easy to publish a thesis of this level? Junior Sister’s results are already very impressive, okay? If we could really publish one every year, would we still be alive?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Niannian thought about it and agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then, Junior Sister, after such a long time, have you not been busy with other topics?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They already knew that Ning Li used to follow Xu Yin and was partly considered his student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yin was also a big shot in the industry. With his guidance and supervision, no matter what, Ning Li’s thesis’ should not have gone unpublished for nearly two years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if she could not get it to be accepted into Universe’s sub-journal, a slightly lower-ranked one would still have been fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li said,?“Yes, I just submitted one recently. I’m waiting for the review comments.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really? Which one did you submit it to? Astronomy and Astrophysics? The Astronomical Journal?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were also core journals that were quite prestigious in the astrophysics world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Ning Li could say anything, a message notification came from her phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a semi-finished oil painting that had been sent by Wei Songzhe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below it was an emoji that was kneeling on the ground and hugging his thigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[ Sister Li! Please give me some guidance! I’ve already ruined more than ten drafts, but it’s still not right! ]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that she seemed to have something to do, Yan Qiu waved his hand gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Junior Sister, go ahead and do your own thing first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Ning Li was a freshman, and she still had to attend classes to earn credits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li remembered that there was indeed a lesson on the fundamentals of celestial physique mechanics at 4:30 pm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I’ll go to class first. See you, Senior Brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ning Li enter the elevator, Yan Qiu’s expression turned serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Try not to mention Junior Sister’s past in front of her in the future. It’s best not to ask too many questions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Yi was puzzled. “Huh? Why?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Qiu frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Junior Sister’s family background... is rather complicated. Just pay attention to it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been the first to know when Shen Zhijin had made the decision for Ning Li to join the new research team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, after he had given the registration form to Ning Li that day, he had gone to the campus forum to take a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, there had been all kinds of speculations and rumors about Ning Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The post about her background was still there, so he had clicked on it to read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading it, he had mixed feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, when he had first met Ning Li, he had thought that such a beautiful girl must have come from a decent family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would have thought...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This complicated feeling had reached its peak when he saw Ning Li’s application form later on, and it had turned into sympathy and admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Growing up with such origins, yet she could actually achieve this much...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talent, hard work, persistence, and perseverance were truly indispensable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thought also seemed to come to Fu Niannian’s mind as well. He seemed slightly startled before nodding his head seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li walked out of the experimental building of the Institute of Physics and sent back a reply to Wei Songzhe, making an appointment to meet the next morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had not met since she had come to the Capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although both of them could be considered students of Xijing University, Xijing University Art Academy was a separate campus, so they had never had the opportunity to meet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, Wei Songzhe happily agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[ Oh right, Sister Li, since you are already in the Capital, are you still intending on handing over your paintings to the Yunzhou Art Association to be handled on your behalf? ]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li had sent two paintings to the Capital during the summer vacation, and they were now being kept at Shuiyuan Shijia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[ No. ]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[ It’s been transferred to the National Art Association. ]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Wei Songzhe saw this news, he was a little surprised, but he had also expected it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that she was here, doing this was indeed the most appropriate thing to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He replied with a big [ OK ].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Ning Li happened to walk to the complex building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This class was in a large classroom on the first floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at the classroom’s door number and looked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was almost time for class, and the classroom was filled with people. It was very lively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Ning Li stepped into the classroom, someone immediately noticed her arrival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone shouted in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ning Li is here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if there was some kind of tacit understanding, everyone went silent. They looked at her with complicated expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shock, envy, admiration...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, the news of what had happened in 601 had already spread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was from the Institute of Physics. Of course, they all knew how rare it was to be able to publish a thesis in Universe magazine at the age of sixteen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If in the beginning, everyone had been surprised and incredulous that she had been chosen to join Shen Zhijin’s team, now... everyone was completely convinced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So now, the way everyone looked at her was very different from before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Langlang waved at her excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ning Li! Over here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first class for this subject. Everyone was very active and consciously sat in front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Langlang had come very early to take a seat. She had snatched the best seat in the middle of the third row and specially reserved one for Ning Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li walked over and put down her backpack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Langlang’s eyes lit up as she looked at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re welcome, you’re welcome! Ning Li, you’re the first undergraduate student that Dean Shen has ever accepted in so many years!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike those projects that were just for show, the new research team this time would be personally managed by Shen Zhijin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only four spots had been available in the whole of Xijing University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, three were Ph.D. students, and only Ning Li was an undergraduate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was also a freshman!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t know, the whole campus forum is exploding!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Zhijin was not only the honorary dean of the Institute of Physics, but also the vice-president of Xijing University and the President of the National Physics Association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since his youth, he had been considered a legend at Xijing University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until now, he had been very popular in the school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even many students who were not majoring in physics regarded him as their idol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it was not hard to imagine how much commotion the incident regarding Ning Li would cause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Langlang’s entire body was brimming with happiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you follow Dean Shen, I’ll be closer to my Prince Charming!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What else could be better than this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li, “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the bell rang in time and an old professor walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did everyone quieten down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there were still many gazes that turned Ning Li’s way from time to time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li took out the book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old professor was wearing reading glasses as he held the roster and began to call out names.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ning Li?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1420,"2026-05-30T09:09:57.737Z","2026-06-01T04:30:51.172Z",1,"novelbin.me","c3daf77bb5f476a3916dd32122d1d840805feab52285cde5b9b4615a125f2434","the-little-brat-s-sweet-and-sassy-chapter-545","the-little-brat-s-sweet-and-sassy-chapter-543",1251,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-little-brat-s-sweet-and-sassy-cover.jpg"]
