Chapter 759: 759
The magnificent sight of Roland Garros University was incomparable . It was like a small city, with interior similar to that of a mature community . It undoubtedly had the best hardware, but that was beside the point . Roland Garros University's greatest strength was its software . Anyone with money could have hardware, but literacy in software took years to form . It represented the highest standard in the Milky Way Alliance .
Upon alighting the car, Ling Luoyu was warmly received by the student union of Roland Garros University .
She smiled . "Wang Zheng, I'm so sorry, my friends are here . "
Wang Zheng got the hint immediately and said, "Sure, go ahead with what you need to do . Thanks for your help . "
"You are welcome . Feel free to look around . You can call me via skylink if you need any help . " She replied politely .
This was a day for Roland Garros University and all her students . Wang Zheng had nothing to do with it at all .
Wang Zheng looked at the address on Skylink . It was indeed this auditorium . The gathering would be held on the upper floor . As for Ling Luoyu, she had already made her way inside, with a group of students surrounding her . It was their special occasion to begin with .
Wang Zheng checked his surroundings . It seemed like the lift was inside, so he went in with them . There was still plenty of time before the gathering begins . He believed that Gail and the rest of them would have a lot to attend to, especially since they were all important figures . Socializing would be inevitable . Apparently, the university had made use of this opportunity and arranged for each of them to make a speech . After all, they were people of authority from different fields .
Of course, not everyone was of equal importance, or Wang Zheng would not be invited at all . Even though he was a member, he was expecting nothing more than a simple introduction for himself . It would most probably be on how he had created the Spatial Transmission System with Xiao Fei . And if someone had to speak, Xiao Fei was more likely to be the one .
The last thing Wang Zheng would expect, was meeting someone he knew here .
Nicoise had a slim and elegant lady with him . It seemed that the arrogance on his face had faded over time - he looked more reliable and mature now . It is true that people always grow .
Ever since his mentor Dong Xuewu was identified as a thief in the scientific world, Nicoise was left in an unfavorable position . People stopped giving him face . In the past, he had many friends and could do anything at Roland Garros because he was the disciple of Dong Xuewu . Now, Dong Xuewu had fallen from power, no one bothered to curry favor with him . Fortunately, he was not directly involved in the incident, but nevertheless, his good days were over .
Winnie was his new girlfriend . She was born and raised in Roland Garros, and came from an outstanding family . The two met at a friend's party and fell in a love at first sight .
This time, he was invited to Roland Garros University by Winnie to be her dance partner .
"Winnie, you are late! You have to drink as a punishment . Oh, who is this handsome guy by the way? Introduce him to us! "
Winnie smiled widely . She took the glass and downed its content . "One drink it shall be . Yes yes, let me introduce to everyone, this is Nicoise, my boyfriend . And these are my best friends, Zuoyi, Julie and Joe…"
Nicoise revealed a modest smile and held up a glass . "You are all top students of Roland Garros University . I have heard a lot about you guys from Winnie . Here's to all of you . "
"You've got quite a sweet tongue, don't you? Where are you from? You don't seem to be a Rolander from your accent . "
Nicoise's face froze . He was only an immigrant . He replied anyway, "My ancestors originated from the Solar System . Now, I live in Roland . "
"Wow, so you are an elite immigrant . It is my honor, my honor . " A few of the girls teased . They were probably unintentional, but their sense of superiority was unconcealable and hurtful . Nicoise managed to calm himself down . Ever since what happened to his mentor, he learnt to embrace the highs and lows of life . This was no big deal . Furthermore, he really treasured his relationship with Winnie .
"The Solar system? I remember Moon is there, a small but quite well-developed place . "
Nicoise forced a smile and shook his head . "Not the Moon . It's Earth . "
He would never forget his ancestors regardless where he was . That was his bottom line .
Winnie's eyes twinkled for a brief moment . Nevertheless, she grabbed Nicoise's arms and said, "Nicoise came from a family of diplomats on Earth . He will work at the embassy after he graduates . In future, if you want to tour the solar system, remember to find me . "
Winnie continued to behave in a generous manner . Initially, Wang Zheng did not want to listen to the conversation, but there was still time before the event . And the only person he knew here was Nicoise, whom he had a past with . Seeing how things turned out, Wang Zheng thought it was quite amusing . Nicoise was so arrogant in the past that he could never imagine him having this day .
"A family of diplomats? That is impressive . As for travelling, I think we are not interested . There is nothing fun on Earth anyway . "
Some of the classmates laughed and toasted Nicoise, but nothing more than a friendly gesture . They had no intentions of drinking with him at all .
It was an awkward moment for Nicoise, when he suddenly felt a push from behind and nearly fell . He apologized immediately . The other party just looked at him nonchalantly for a second .
The eyes of the ladies lit up instantly . "Helix, you are here! " They exclaimed affectionately while giving up their seats .
Helix, director of the student union, was also a popular figure in Roland Garros University . More importantly, he was Gail's disciple, a Mathematics genius . Not everyone who studied Mathematics was a nerd . He was the perfect representation of the rich and powerful in Roland Garros, born with grace and elegance .
Joe was the event organizer of this clique . She was full of herself all the time, but when she saw Helix, her face beamed with delight and surprise too . "Senior, I thought you were not coming . We are having a small-scale activity later . Do join us . "
"Winnie, are you coming as well?" Helix asked out of the blue . Winnie was shocked and flattered . She nodded her head subconsciously .
"Sure, our teacher would like to introduce me to a few of the mentors in a while . Let's go together after that . "
While Helix spoke, he shot a glance at Nicoise . "Who brought him here?"
