Yet, unexpectedly, Su Xiaotian returned in the evening.
Accompanying Su Xiaotian were teachers Huo Sinian and Xie Nan.
Xie Nan only learned on the way that the renowned Yiming Pavilion in the capital was actually Su Xiaotian's family establishment.
This student's family runs a restaurant?
She had previously assumed the child came from a high-ranking official family, but her guess was wrong.
Xie Nan was even more curious: how could a child from a merchant family, reportedly from a rural area in the northwest, be so outstanding?
When the Su family heard that Su Xiaotian was indeed going to the military parade, and as Dong Yuanzhong had said, directly onto a float, they could hardly believe their ears.
"Xiaotian is far more outstanding than you imagine," Huo Sinian said with a smile. "Since she received the invitation, she has the qualifications."
What's so good about participating in a formation? One has to practice in the scorching sun every day.
"Xiaotian, which float do you plan to be on?" Xie Nan asked.
She didn't know what career Su Xiaotian would pursue in the future.
However, such a student was destined for a bright future.
Perhaps her choice today could indicate her future path.
Su Xiaotian frowned, thinking for a long time.
"I'll still join the agricultural float!"
"Why?" Teacher Xie Nan asked with great interest.
Wouldn't it be better to join the float for the Translation Department?
"My third brother and Sister Xiao Mei might be on that float."
Huo Sinian couldn't help but chuckle when he heard Su Xiaotian's reason.
Teacher Xie Nan, however, looked astonished.
Did this young girl mean that her brother was an agricultural scientist, and one who could appear on a float?
Although talent had been scarce in recent years, not just anyone was qualified to be on a float.
"Have you considered that your eldest brother might be on the float for the Translation Department?" Huo Sinian asked with interest, unaware of Teacher Xie Nan's thoughts.
Alright, Su Xiaotian had indeed forgotten that her eldest brother was likely to be on the Translation Department's float.
But what did that matter?
Teacher Xie Nan was once again shocked. What kind of family was this?
To have another brother appearing on a different float?
Good heavens, no wonder this young girl was so outstanding; it turned out the whole family was exceptional.
By the time Chi Yiyuan learned of the many events that had transpired with Su Xiaotian, she had already returned to Yiming Pavilion.
He went to look for Su Xiaotian downstairs at her dormitory, but missed her and was very disappointed.
Thinking of the young girl being wronged, Chi Yiyuan felt terrible, believing he wasn't powerful enough to protect her.
Fortunately, the young girl had many people protecting her.
From that day on, Chi Yiyuan resolved to accelerate his development speed and protect those he wished to protect.
On National Day, Su Xiaotian proudly became one of those on the float.
The nation valued agriculture, and the agricultural float was the first float of the year, leading the procession into everyone's view.
The originally planned three generations of agricultural scientists, with Su Xiaotian's addition, instantly became four generations: old, middle-aged, young, and very young.
As a clear and melodious female voice introduced the four generations on the float through the amplification system, Su Xiaotian gained another name.
The youngest agricultural scientist!
Yes, the youngest!
So young that the leaders standing on the city tower were greatly shocked.
When did China have such a young agricultural scientist?
Since the leaders paid attention, they naturally asked for more information.
At this moment, it was Dong Yuanzhong's time to show off.
Although it was a formal occasion, he tried his best to suppress his uncontrollable smug expression, but those around him still noticed.
Dong Yuanzhong paid no mind to their expressions.
He briefly explained Su Xiaotian's achievements to the surrounding leaders.
Finally, he added with lingering pride, "This child, after all, comes from the countryside, is simple, and loves agriculture, which is why she refused the invitation from the Translation Department! Her foreign language skills are much smoother than those young people in the Translation Department."
The people around looked at Dong Yuanzhong with varying expressions: some envied, some jealous, some thought he was exaggerating.
"Old Dong, you're making this sound too fantastical."
It was rumored that this young girl was participating in Shen Zizhen's research team.
Everyone knew that Shen Zizhen's wife was from a place he visited during his down-to-the-countryside period, and her surname was also Su. Perhaps it was because the two families were related.
"What's fantastical about it? Don't speak nonsense if you don't understand, it just invites hatred!"
Dong Yuanzhong retorted unceremoniously.
It's just sour grapes.
The person speaking had unproductive descendants, as everyone knew.
He was simply envious and jealous of their little sweetheart Xiaotian!
Dong Yuanzhong had completely forgotten that the other party had no reason to be jealous or envious of him.
Su Xiaotian was a child of the Su family, not the Dong family!
"Old Dong, this isn't your child, why are you so proud?"
Someone who couldn't stand it actually spoke up.
"This child is the same as my own child. Didn't you ask a while ago who the pink and tender room in my house was prepared for? I'm telling you, that's Xiaotian's room," Dong Yuanzhong said proudly.
At that time, the old fellow had mocked him for preparing such a pink and tender room without a granddaughter, questioning its purpose.
He had been angered and hadn't had a chance to introduce it to the old fellow.
Today, he finally got to vent his frustration!
As the float slowly passed, due to the great distance, people were unaware that the stern-faced leaders were quarreling over a young girl.
However, after that day, the name Su Xiaotian became almost universally known in the capital.
While children did participate in such grand ceremonies, there were no children on the floats!
Su Xiaotian was unique.
When the President of Beijing University saw Su Xiaotian standing on the float, he felt incredibly annoyed.
Somehow, the matter of Beijing University suppressing an outstanding student had spread.
Several old colleagues teased him, saying he must have become too complacent to not have discovered such a gem.
Yes, a gem, not just rough jade!
After all, she was already shining in various fields, yet Beijing University not only failed to focus on her but also pulled a stunt!
The President had never understood why such a good student, a freshman, was targeted by Xiao Yuanyang.
No, Beijing University could not keep Xiao Yuanyang.
For his own inexplicable reasons, he caused such a good student to develop a rift with the school.
Having such a vice-principal in the school would make students lose trust in it!
The President had never considered that Su Xiaotian would have no grievances towards the school.
Being suppressed for no reason would naturally cause anyone to have opinions.
