My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts

CHAPTER 337: CHAPTER 115: BEGINNING OF THE PRE-SERIES (PART 2)
Whether on Blue Star or in the Blue Star Empire today, Du Xixi never felt there was any reason she couldn’t accomplish something. She had both money and power, so how could she not fulfill Miao Miao’s wish?
Since Miao Miao liked reading and studying, she naturally wanted to fulfill her wish.
Just right...
Du Xixi lowered her head to look at the Light Computer, which displayed a newly received message from the Blue Star University’s administrative office.
Considering the timing, the Blue Star University’s Food Department would successfully open in a little over two months, and now it was indeed time to gather the relevant people together for discussion.
As one of the future core members of the Food Department, Du Xixi gave Miao Miao a meaningful smile. Seeing Miao Miao’s puzzled and slightly uneasy gaze, she slowly spoke:
"Miao Miao..."
"Do you want to go to school?"
Miao Miao: Thanks for the invite, I really wanted to at first, but suddenly I don’t.
***
As a prestigious university ranked among the top interstellar institutions, Blue Star University is located near the very center of the main planet of the Blue Star Empire, just three kilometers north of the Imperial Palace, making it exceptionally valuable.
Du Xixi originally lived near the Imperial Palace and was closely protected by several Mechanical Soldiers. In just a few minutes, a new hovercar had transported Du Xixi to the entrance of Blue Star University.
Over there, the director of the administrative office personally waited at the entrance. Seeing the hovercar stop steadily, she quickly came forward, not daring to neglect Du Xixi in the slightest.
A Mechanical Soldier opened the car door, and Du Xixi, wearing a long-sleeved dark green dress, tentatively set one foot down, cautiously raising her eyes to meet those of the administrative office director. Seeing this short-haired woman hurriedly smile at her, she nodded politely while getting out of the car: "Hello!"
High-ranking officials overrule commoners; Du Xixi didn’t believe that her status as a princess of the Empire allowed her to throw her weight around at Blue Star University, where talent is everywhere.
She was now merely an appointed professor of the Food Department, with no connections or background, and even this role wasn’t secured through favoritism by Chen Yin.
Others being polite to her, Du Xixi didn’t dare become arrogant because of that.
"No need for such formality, Your Highness!" The director of the administrative office was a short-haired woman just over two hundred years old, known for her resolute style. Any disciplinary or illegal activities at Blue Star University couldn’t escape her watchful eye. She was once described by the university’s students as their greatest nightmare.
But whether it was because of Du Xixi’s status or her superior aura in her gentle smile, the director somehow didn’t dare to display her usual dominance reserved for students; she simply lowered her head to bow slightly to Du Xixi.
Allowing the Mechanical Soldiers to follow behind her, and with the hovercar automatically parking itself in the campus lot, Du Xixi reached out to stop the director’s action, smiling warmly and kindly: "Why is the director being so formal? Perhaps you’ve already heard I brought some snacks and are thanking me in advance?"
Social etiquette was also a compulsory course during Du Xixi’s time on Blue Star, as the elders of the Du Family didn’t want their carefully nurtured successor to end up only knowing how to cook without understanding human relations.
The prosperity of a great family relies on the rationality and decorum of its leader.
Du Xixi took the initiative to express her goodwill, and the director of the administrative office felt relieved, and the respectful expression on her face turned into a more casual, yet genuinely pleasant smile, just as Du Xixi expected.
The director gestured to Du Xixi and led her in a certain direction of Blue Star University. Her normally serious face showed a friendly smile as she tried to bridge the gap between herself and Du Xixi: "My lady, you’re being too polite. We’ll be colleagues in the future, how about we become friends?"
"Of course!" Du Xixi was there to promote food at Blue Star University, not to flaunt her status as the Empire Marshal’s Wife or as a princess. She was simply forming friendships with the staff members from the administrative office, without any hierarchical notions, "In that case, director, just call me Xixi. That’s what my friends call me."
"Then I’ll take the liberty of calling you Xixi." The director hadn’t expected Du Xixi to be so warm and sincere, and with her extensive experience, she could clearly see Du Xixi’s genuineness. Her expression immediately became more earnest, "I’m Lin You; how about you call me Sister Lin You, Xixi?"
