Chapter 817: Chapter 817

"I'm not tired yet," Professor Zhou waved his hand and picked up the thesis in front of him. "We'll talk about graduate studies later. Right now, with a few simple revisions, this thesis can be published on a professional historical website. However,"

he changed his tone, "if published, some of the more subversive points in this thesis might provoke quite a few voices of doubt and rebuttal from the historical academic community. Some already compiled and published works by historians may even need to be revised. Jiang, you must be prepared." The most update n0vels are published on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝗇𝗲𝘵

The expressions of the others turned a bit more solemn upon hearing this.

Despite being convinced by Jiang Lingxi's points after this whole day of discussion,

they are also well aware that many historians remain stubborn. Moreover, taking back what has already been published would mean admitting one's own mistake.

Additionally, the person raising these questions isn't an established scholar, but just a history undergraduate's graduation thesis.

Underestimation is inevitable.

Even though some teachers are willing to back her up, they know very well from experience.

The academic world, in truth, isn't pure.

Indeed, there are those solely dedicated to research, but there are also many who seek fame and profit.

In fact, some fame-seekers have a more prominent reputation than genuine researchers.

On top of that, this child has another identity.

It is almost predictable that, at that time, doubts and criticisms will be unavoidable.

Jiang Lingxi met Professor Zhou's worried gaze with a bit of reassurance, "Thank you, Professor Zhou, for the reminder. I'm mentally prepared."

One could even say she was prepared from the moment she chose to major in history.

Not knowing about future misunderstandings might have been fine, but since she knows now, it's not like she lacks the ability to argue or fight back. How could she let those people spout nonsense, even publishing misleading books?

Professor Zhou looked at the still confident and determined student in front of him and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

During this half day, while they were raising their own doubts, the language used was not lacking in sharpness and aggression.

After all, academia isn't about personal feelings and offers no room for sentimentality.

Still, for every doubt they raised, the student was able to respond calmly and persuasively.

They sometimes even felt like they were listening to a lecture given by a student.

It seems this child is not only diligent and meticulous in her academic research but also possesses a particularly firm and strong spirit.

This allowed them to put their minds at ease to some extent.

"It's good that you're mentally prepared," Professor Zhou said, exchanging glances with his old friends. Finally, he looked at Jiang Lingxi with increased satisfaction, "Then I announce, Jiang's graduation thesis defense is passed ahead of time. After all, even if we do it again later, it would just be a formality as we've asked everything we needed to today. Also, if you plan to continue with graduate studies, remember to let the teachers know!"

Jiang Lingxi's eyes lit up, and she quickly bowed to the professors.

Passing the thesis defense meant she successfully obtained the last credit of her undergraduate studies.

As soon as she completes all required credits, she can apply for graduation anytime without waiting for the unified graduation defense in a few months.

As for graduate studies, she planned to take some time to think about it and not rush into a decision.

Besides, she'd have to inform Tong Yue as well.

In the evening, as Jiang Lingxi revised her thesis, she habitually opened her live-streaming room. After finishing the revisions and closing her computer, she straightforwardly announced on her streaming phone, "The stream is likely coming to an end."

[Did something happen?]

[Are you going to shoot a movie again? But it's not holiday time yet?]

[Speaking of which, did the movie you shot last summer get released? What's the title? I'll buy a ticket to support it when I have time.]

[How long will you be away? Will you come back?]

"I passed my thesis defense, and I'll be busy with other things. The movie hasn't been released yet, but it should be soon."

[Thesis defense? Did I hear right? Aren't you just a second-year student? How did you pass the defense already?]

[Did you really finish a four-year course in two years? I find it hard to believe!]

[Did you finish your credits early and apply for graduation? I remember you're at Jing University, amazing!]

[I can't believe I followed a genius streamer.]

[Ah, thinking about not being able to learn with the stream makes me sad!]

[Will you pursue further studies or enter the entertainment industry?]

[I have a wish: I'd like to see how the streamer really looks.]

[Honestly, same... Streamer, could you take off your makeup before logging off to fulfill our little wish?]

What kind of firm belief must they have to always deny the possibility that she's really Jiang Lingxi?

She was genuinely amused!

Seeing that it was still early, "The return date is uncertain, so no need to keep waiting. Removing makeup is impossible; I'm not wearing any."

[Uncertain return date? Does that imply you might never stream again?]

[Can you really bear to leave all of us fans? I've been following you for almost a year!]

[While following you, I even obtained a professional junior certificate and plan to work harder for a senior one.]

[No makeup? I don't believe it!]

Considering this might be the last live stream for this account, Jiang Lingxi meticulously answered several questions from the fans until Shen Yunqing knocked habitually at the door, reminding her to get up and stretch and have a snack.

[Speaking of, I've followed you so long and still don't know what your boyfriend looks like.]

[Judging by the voice, he should be quite the handsome man. Could you let us meet him generously?]

[Curious, curious, curious, as curious as seeing the streamer's real face!]

Jiang Lingxi smiled at the camera, and just as the fans thought she would finally relent and agree, she opened her mouth with a cool voice, "He's mine, you can't see him."

[The tone of this sentence really sounds like Xixi!]

But just as this comment was posted, Jiang Lingxi waved her hand decisively at the camera and closed the streaming session.

Shortly after Jiang Lingxi published her thesis on the website,

the thesis caused quite a stir on the site, prompting discussion among many historical professionals. Once the author's identity became known, the wave quickly spread online.

Almost immediately, someone emerged with a statement.

Historian Zhang Da V: [These days, anyone dares to latch onto the academic world. Do you really think that just because you've acted as a historical figure, you understand them better than professional historians? Truly no self-awareness! Here, ladies and gentlemen: a direction to the so-called thesis just published by a female celebrity. The entire thesis is nothing but nonsense!]
