Chapter 819: Chapter 819

Not to mention Yang Shuliu, who finally finished reading the full text of the thesis and successfully became a super fan of Jiang Lingxi in the historical academic community within a day. She publicly expressed her support for Jiang Lingxi's views in the thesis and helped counter Zhang Dada.

This sudden trending topic that swept across both the entertainment and academic circles left a group of people bewildered.

[Jiang Lingxi graduated early as a sophomore, just like our streamer graduated early from Jing University.]

[Jiang Lingxi was in the history department, and our streamer was also in the history department.]

[The day after the streamer announced a pause in streaming due to graduating, Jiang Lingxi published her thesis on a history website.]

[The streamer has a boyfriend, and Jiang Lingxi also has a partner.]

[I remember the streamer said jokingly at the start that she was Jiang Lingxi, but I thought she was joking back then.]

[Who wouldn't? Clearly a superstar with fifty million followers, yet less than a hundred thousand viewers tune into her streams. Who would believe it?]

[Guys, I have a bold guess right now!]

[Stop guessing, it's pretty much confirmed, right? Our streamer is Jiang Lingxi herself!]

[How come I feel like I'm dreaming?]

[Friend, be confident, you're not the only one feeling dazed like it's a dream.]

[I'm going back to watch the stream replays. Knowing the streamer is Jiang Lingxi makes rewatching a completely different experience.]

[Xixi doesn't seem to plan on promoting her study stream; otherwise, the audience would have exploded. Remember to keep it a secret, everyone. This stream is a treasure just for us study fans!]

[Study fans, that's a nice term. Yes, we fans are indeed the most unique.]

[I initially felt a bit disappointed, only knowing the truth after the streaming break and even denying it ourselves. But now I think it's nice. I like being a special fan!]

[That historical Zhang Dada is so annoying. We all saw how focused and hardworking Xixi was while studying. She certainly relied on her own ability to pass her thesis defense early. How dare he accuse Xixi of seeking attention?]

[I think Zhang Dada just wants to use Xixi's fame to boost his own popularity. His followers are skyrocketing now. Hmph, so malicious!]

[I looked up the thesis, uh, as someone bad at academics, I couldn't understand it!]

[Pat pat, isn't it normal not to understand?]

[Even if we don't understand, it won't stop us from supporting Xixi!]

[Just four words, 'Not convinced, let's argue,' hahaha, so domineering, so satisfying!]

[Sitting tight to see how Zhang Dada will wrap this up.]

Jiang Lingxi was quite looking forward to the first person to jump out and question her, hoping it would be someone with real talent and skills. That way, the debate would be thrilling.

Indeed, someone rushed out now, and there are quite a few followers under his account.

However, after going through the person's previous posts and remarks, her eager anticipation gradually cooled down.

What can I say, a bit disappointing.

The other party couldn't really be called a simpleton; those certified titles weren't given for nothing. But the level was indeed a tad underwhelming; she could hardly muster any enthusiasm.

Fortunately, this person did have an advantage, being more adept at managing his account compared to others. He even climbed to the top of the trending list using her name, garnering quite a bit of attention, saving her some effort.

Originally, she intended to keep the debate's heat high; the more people paid attention, the better it would be for spreading her points.

As for Zhang Dada's original intention of stepping on her to gain fame, ha, she just wanted to send him four words: delusional dreams!

Zhang Dada naturally received Jiang Lingxi's response immediately.

He sat in his spacious office and looked at those four big words, first sneering, then preparedly posting a contemporary historian's thesis with points contrary to Jiang Lingxi's, accompanied by a note: [Can Jiang even compare with this historian? Not even qualified to be his student, right?]

[Geez, looks like Zhang Dada had prepared for this.]

[The historical points brought up by Zhang Dada, he seems to have compiled a history textbook.]

[Though I personally don't understand the difference in these points, I can confirm that Jiang Lingxi is indeed bold, daring to overthrow even a famous historian's arguments. I wonder if there's anything she's afraid of.]

[Waiting for Jiang Lingxi's response.]

Not only the academic circle but even the entertainment industry was paying attention to this topic now.

After all, Jiang Lingxi's military drama is currently airing and stirred up another trending topic unrelated to the show, naturally sparking curiosity.

Some genuinely worried, while others took glee in the chaos.

"She hasn't even figured out the entertainment industry yet, and she's already daring to touch the academic circle, ridiculous!"

"I'm just quietly watching her flip, hoping she actually flips herself out!"

"Isn't it good to stick to the entertainment industry peacefully? In the end, she's young and easily influenced!"

Regardless of these comments, Jiang Lingxi was genuinely happy and a bit relieved to see Zhang Dada's response.

This person didn't foolishly rebut her points directly but used more authoritative people's arguments.

This made the debate more exciting; if Zhang Dada, with his half-baked knowledge, had come on his own, she wouldn't have been so interested.

This debate lasted quite a while.

Saying it drew the attention of the entire internet would be an exaggeration; it was most lively at the start, but the excitement gradually waned. After all, understanding the debate content truly required some professional capability.

Those who couldn't understand it just enjoyed the spectacle, while others wanted to know who ultimately triumphed. The middle of the debate wasn't much followed.

But as non-professionals left, a group of professionals came in.

There were both students and educators.

Even in some university history classes, teachers and students were discussing who was right.

Jiang Lingxi was quite pleased with this development.

She wasn't afraid of too much attention, just concerned about too little.

But in just a few days, Zhang Dada no longer felt as confident.

Though his ability was somewhat exaggerated, it wasn't nonexistent.

Jiang Lingxi's counterattacks were much stronger than he anticipated, leaving him unsure how to respond!

He was constantly pushed back, while she continued to advance triumphantly! Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝙣𝙚𝙩

If it were private, he might consider seeking a truce.

But now, this issue had been stirred up to the point where almost everyone knew about it; the historical academic community was paying attention either openly or covertly, leaving him in a predicament.

Additionally, some of the historians he used to attack Jiang Lingxi were quite open, admitting their mistakes when pointed out and revising accordingly.

However, others felt humiliated by being corrected by a junior and resented both Jiang Lingxi and him.

After all, he was the instigator who brought this thesis issue to the forefront!

On one side was Jiang Lingxi sharpening her sword, ready to retaliate fiercely at any time, and on the other, those big names who he'd upset and dared not provoke but had thoroughly offended. Zhang Dada fully knew what it felt like to be so anxious that he couldn't sleep.

As midnight approached, a post awakened many people who were about to sleep.

Yang Shuliu, needing to keep up with the debate between Jiang Lingxi and Zhang Dada, re-followed the history Zhang Dada account.

Receiving an alert on her phone, she casually opened Zhang Dada's newly posted status.

[Apology letter to Jiang Lingxi...]
