Professors Lao Qu and He both wanted to recruit Qingran to their schools.
Only the oldest professor on the far left looked sowhat displeased.
But he was proud and aloof by nature, and not particularly sociable, sothing Professors Lao Qu and He were already accustod to.
Professor He even sighed: "I hadn’t expected this competition to bring such an unexpected delight. This girl’s problem-solving approach is very similar to what my Lin Zhou used to have, what a pity..."
He let out a sigh as he looked at the back of Lin Zhou’s head.
Since stepping foot in F University, Lin Zhou had chosen to be a sparrow rather than a phoenix, and never again did He see him shine in mathematics or any other field.
A real pity.
Professor Lao Qu also shook his head. They, the seniors, had all witnessed Lin Zhou’s talent, and it was indeed to recruit Lin Zhou to their school that he and that old fox, He, had beco acquainted through conflict.
In the end, to everyone’s surprise, Lin Zhou chose to go to F University.
Old He had been quite smug for a while, but it also turned into regret in the end.
More than ten minutes had passed on stage, and based on previous experience, it was almost certain that no one would stop writing until the last half-minute.
Qingran entered the final number and, after reviewing her answers again, put down her pen.
As she lifted her head, she saw Xie Ying’an who had also stopped writing at so point and was now looking at her.
The two exchanged a glance and, as if by so tacit agreent, both raised their hands simultaneously to ring the bell indicating they had finished answering.
This bell, which hadn’t rung from the start of today’s competition until it was nearing the end, was pressed simultaneously by two people for the first ti.
They only took 12 minutes and 27 seconds, setting the record for the fastest ti today.
As the bell rang, a look of surprise flashed across the faces of several professors.
The director of teaching and Old Wu, from below the stage, were so excited after the surprise that they almost burst into tears.
Bai Wenxing looked up at Qingran on the stage for a long ti before he rembered to push his glasses up, clenching his fist by his side as he lowered his hand.
Concealing one’s talents!
That was the thought that suddenly sprang to Bai Wenxing’s mind. How ridiculous that he had thought Qingran was so naive? So selfless?
Heh, still not willing to share his knowledge to the fullest in the end?
The elderly professor seated on the far left watched Xie Ying’an for a while before slowly asking: "Is that boy with number 2 sick?"
Before anyone could answer, the 15 minutes of answering ti on stage was up and the previously silent stage suddenly burst into a roaring cheer, filled with—
"Junior Sister, you are amazing; I really like you!"
"Ah, my Junior Sister is actually a super, super academic prodigy; what should I do, I like her even more now..."
"Junior Brother is also very impressive! And Junior Brother is so handso!"
"Junior Brother, co to F University, you must co to F University, F University welcos you!!!"
...
The calls of Junior Sister and Junior Brother, mixing n’s and won’s voices together, brought the atmosphere of the venue to its peak.
Students from the sa school were all trying to recruit for their school, leaving Professor He feeling extrely pleased.
Professor Lao Qu could no longer sit still, with no backing of his own he began to put pressure on the two professors’ students in front of him: "... Ten years ago I didn’t fight with Old Man He, today you guys have to fight for , if that girl insists on not going, then try to recruit that boy, the best is to recruit them both. By the way, how many spots do we still have?"
Before the other two could speak, he made a final decision: "No matter how many spots we have left, even if we have to break the rules and add two more spots, we have to try to recruit them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Professor He applied the sa logic, "The principle is the sa, did you two hear that?"
Lin Zhou and the fat professor glanced at each other, nodding their heads without turning back.
The noise of the scene was quickly suppressed, and the competition site beca quiet again.
The display screen started to show the answers to those three questions, followed by the answering board of Qingran, standing at station 1.
Her problem-solving approach was unprecedentedly clear and neat, and the answers to the three questions were exactly the sa as those on the display screen.
There were several sharp whistles in the audience again, which were quickly suppressed.
The professor from Q University, who had been silent all along, acted quicker than anyone else; almost as soon as the answers were displayed on the screen and board, the professor seated on the left opened his microphone: "This student, Li Qingran."
He paused and looked towards Qingran, who nodded to him from the stage.
This professor held up a finger: "Today, I only have one question for you."
Qingran nodded.
"Last round, Bai Wenxing used almost the sa problem-solving approach as you. It was taught by you, wasn’t it?"
Qingran nodded again: "Yes, but Bai Wenxing’s own thoughts were also integrated into the problem-solving steps."
When Bai Wenxing’s answering board was displayed on the big screen, she noticed it imdiately.
Before this Bai Wenxing had indeed explored new thinking and hadn’t shared it; she had actually guessed it already.
Therefore, she worked harder privately to explore an even easier problem-solving approach because during the sumr vacation, the one thing she didn’t lack was ti.
Saying he’d ask just one question ant just one; as soon as this professor put down his microphone, another professor from Q University sitting beside him opened his mic.
This professor was more straightforward; he directly threw a guaranteed entry spot to Q University at Qingran and also spoke a few enticing words: "As everyone knows, our Q University has a first-class teaching team, with slightly famous educators such as Run Hua, Yan Anhu, and so on all being alumni of our school..."
When he said this, the fat professor couldn’t help but move his mouth twice, murmuring sothing that no one could catch.
Who wouldn’t like a student with good grades?
Who wouldn’t like a student who is both smart and beautiful with good grades?
Not only like but also strive hard to win them over.
As soon as the professor from Q University finished speaking, the fat professor seized the initiative. He called out, "Student Li Qingran," then, as per Professor He’s intentions, moved the open microphone in front of Lin Zhou.
Lin Zhou looked down at the microphone, then raised his head to look at Qingran.
Across a distance, the young man’s gaze t Qingran’s directly from on stage.
The girl stood on the stage in a loose school uniform, which, despite its looseness, could not conceal her graceful figure. With clear brows and bright eyes, she was naturally beautiful.
It might have been his imagination, but each ti he saw her again, he felt as if she had beco more beautiful, like a dusty pearl that had been cleared to reveal its luster, her transcendent beauty sowhat breathtaking.
Under these circumstances, Qingran gave Lin Zhou a gentle smile, slowly lowered her eyes, a different way of averting her gaze.
Lin Zhou’s Adam’s apple unconsciously moved up and down twice; he cleared his throat, and his voice was warm and llow when he began: "Student Li Qingran, I have always believed that the starting point is not important. What is important is to have eyes keen on discovery and a mind eager to explore the unknown. I am honored to see both of these in you."
He paused, then drove straight into the point: "One always needs a guiding light on the journey ahead. F University might not be the best one, but F University will definitely be the one that gives its all to light your way, like—"
He pointed at himself and added: "!"
As his speech concluded, a thunderous applause sounded behind him, even Professor He nodded in satisfaction.
The crowd erupted in various voices—
"Ah! I wish Associate Professor Xiao Lin’s words were directed at ."
"Haha— Wait until you have a brain as smart as Junior Sister’s."
"Unbelievable, the wooden professor is actually speaking to retain soone?!"
Amid the noise, no one noticed a slender figure angrily leaving in high heels after hearing Lin Zhou’s speech.
