Many people knew that Qin Ran was taking two majors.
Most of them knew that she majored in nuclear engineering, never took any automation class, and basically self-studied in the library.
Upon hearing Leng Peishan’s question, Nan Huiyao frowned without saying anything.
Yang Yi tore off the lid of the instant noodles, picked up her fork, and started to eat. While eating, she answered Leng Peishan without looking up. “She’s the top scorer of the college entrance examination, after all. No matter how difficult the exam was, she’ll still perform better than us, right?”
She glanced at Nan Huiyao, obviously asking her.
At the thought of how Qin Ran had asked her last night about what they learned in the freshman year for automation, Nan Huiyao lowered her head and vaguely replied, “Yeah.”
Leng Peishan naturally noticed the obvious lack of confidence in her tone. Putting down her lipstick, she looked in her direction and smiled mysteriously.
The degree of abnormality in the difficulty of the Automation Departnt’s exams had beco popular on the school forum. Leng Peishan had also heard of it. Qin Ran was doing two majors at once and hadn’t even attended any automation classes, yet she was going to take the exam?
Her phone rang. It was a call from her senior. She quickly picked up. “Computer room? Okay, I’ll go over right away.”
She had just returned to the bedroom but had to rush out.
The atmosphere in the bedroom improved the mont she went out. Yang Yi talked to Nan Huiyao while eating noodles, “You sounded a little guilty when you replied just now.”
With the capability of entering Beijing University, their IQ was naturally not low.
Nan Huiyao massaged her temple. “Ran Ran asked a question before the exam.”
“What?” Yang Yi calmly continued eating.
“She asked what topics the automation class covered.”
“Cough, cough...” Choking, Yang Yi imdiately put down her fork and pulled out a piece of tissue.

In Ting Lan.
Sitting on the sofa, Old Master Cheng solemnly glanced at Cheng Juan, who was playing gas opposite. “Why won’t you go to City C?”
“It’s no fun.” Cheng Juan leaned on the sofa with cold eyes and said with a cold and emotionless voice.
“I haven’t sent anyone to City C yet. In the next five days, you can find at any ti if you have a change of heart.” Old Master Cheng glanced at him.
Cheng Juan crossed his legs absent-mindedly. “Don’t worry, I’ll never find you.”
A sound ca from the hallway, and Qin Ran ca in with her backpack, then squatted down to change shoes.
Old Master Cheng’s harsh expression imdiately faded.
Cheng Juan also stood up, his eyebrows drooping. “Why are you back so early?”
He knew she had classes after her exams.
Qin Ran changed into a pair of slippers and greeted Old Master Cheng before replying, “The departnt gave us an advanced vacation.”
“I heard from Cheng Mu that today’s the midterm exam of Beijing University. How did you do?” At the sight of Qin Ran, Old Master Cheng also smiled with ease. “Let the chef cook more delicious food for you later. Beijing University’s exams have always been difficult.”
“It was okay.” Instead of going upstairs, she put down her backpack first. Only after the midterm exam did she start thinking about what Principal Xu told her previously.
Old Master Cheng knew that Qin Ran was smart. She was the college entrance examination’s top scorer, and both Beijing University and University A had competed for her, so he wasn’t at all worried about her exams.
He only reached out and knocked on his knees, watching her ponder for a while, before saying, “Principal Zhou will definitely let you enter the research institute in two years. The institute involves all forces and families. Director Fang himself dominates...”
Bringing a cup of tea over, Butler Qin also heard Old Master Cheng. “Why are you telling Miss Qin so much now?”
“You’re right, it’s still too early.” Old Master Cheng nodded and stopped ntioning it to avoid pressurizing her.
While he talked to Butler Cheng, Cheng Juan just raised an eyebrow at them.
“What?” Old Master Cheng’s eyes sharpened. He hadn’t been very indulging towards Cheng Juan as of late.
“Nothing.” Cheng Juan slowly retracted his gaze. “I just wanted to ask if your heart is doing well.”
He didn’t tell him that Principal Xu had a surprise waiting for him.
Old Master Cheng took the tea from Butler Cheng. “As long as you stop making angry, my heart will do very well.”

Upstairs, Qin Ran dumped her backpack on her bed, and then took her clothes to the bathroom to take a bath.
At the beginning of November, the weather had turned cold, and her room had been automatically kept at a constant temperature of 26 degrees, neither hot nor cold. Instead of blow-drying her hair, she took a towel to slowly wipe it while turning on her computer, and then typed a few keys.
Then, she pulled her chair and sat down.
At the sa ti, in City C, Qin Xiuchen’s room.
Qin Ling did his howork on the table opposite, while the manager discussed with Qin Xiuchen about the team tomorrow.
The two were sitting in front of a small table, and the manager was holding a contract. “We’ll head up the mountains tomorrow to several locations. I can only follow you from a distance with the director and the others. You and Xiao Ling must pay attention to your safety...”
As he talked, Qin Ling’s computer suddenly lit up.
The manager was shocked.
Then, a cold and elegant face appeared in front of his eyes. Sitting with her legs crossed in the video, she was wearing a white long-sleeved T-shirt and pressing her hair with a towel. The water from her fringe slid down her forehead to her chin.
“Qin- Qin Ran?” Stunned, the manager had yet to react.
Qin Ling was writing on the paper when he heard this. He imdiately put down his pen, walked over, and picked up the computer. “Sister.”
Having not expected to see Qin Xiuchen and the manager, Qin Ran paused with the towel in her hand, then straightened her back. “Film Emperor Qin, I’ve received the things. Thank you.”
“No need to be so polite with .” Qin Xiuchen’s expression was gentle, and his voice was soft.
“Sister, have you seen the picture I sent you? It’s so fun here.” Qin Ling’s eyes were bright as he shared eagerly with Qin Ran.
She had video-called him because of Qin Xiuchen’s things, and also because she wanted to check up on Qin Ling. After ensuring that he was doing well, she directly hung up.
Qin Ling turned the computer back.
Taking the contract, Qin Xiuchen went to the director’s room to discuss so details.
Instead of going with him, the manager took the chance to ask Qin Ling, “Xiao Ling, wasn’t your computer already shut down?”
Why did the video pop up suddenly?
In fact...
Staring at the main computer page, he didn’t notice any WeChat or video call function. The video just now seed to have appeared out of thin air...
Qin Ling was speechless.
After a mont of silence, he explained, “I didn’t turn off the computer.”
“Really?” The manager was doubtful.
“What else?” Qin Ling retorted blankly.
Unable to think of any other reason, the manager reluctantly believed his statent. “Where did you buy it? I also want to buy one.”
After getting along for so many days, the manager noticed how his computer turned on within one second, had fast reaction speed, and didn’t have ssy ads either.
“My sister gave it to .” Qin Ling lifted his chin.
The manager nodded regretfully. Since he wasn’t very close to Qin Ran, he felt too embarrassed to ask where she had bought it.

Beijing University, Automation Departnt.
All the teachers had collected the midterm exam papers.
Midterm exams weren’t as strict as final exams, so the teachers always brought them back ho to mark.
The Mathematics teacher of the Automation Departnt was a professor in the Mathematics Departnt and had been specially assigned to the Automation Departnt this year.
At this ti, he was sitting in front of his desk, wearing glasses, and starting to turn over the midterm exam papers. He only taught the freshn of the Mathematics and Automation Departnts this year and had a total of ten classes of students, as well as a pile of papers.
“Professors, I’ve finished marking the Mathematics papers.” Opposite, the two boys studying in graduate school handed the papers to him.
They had taken two days to mark the Applied Mathematics papers. The professor then handed them the Automation papers.
The two boys flipped through them. Specialized in Mathematics, they were taken aback when they saw the test paper contents. “This is the Automation test paper?”
Did they make a mistake?
It was even harder than the midterm exam for their Mathematics major.
“The Automation counselor requested it.” The professor held a thermos cup and continued, “How did they do?”
Speechless, the two boys only shook their heads. Even the Mathematics majors were in complete shambles for their papers, much less the Automation majors.
They marked the Automation papers much faster. The last problem of the fourth-order differential equation almost only appeared in literature, and only had one solution. Even the two boys felt their heads aching as they marked the answers.
Within 20 minutes, they had finished marking about half of the pile of papers.
“Did you give any paper 80 marks yet?” One of them asked.
The other boy casually held his pen. “Not even one 70 marks.”
The full marks were 100 points.
The boy put his pen aside and took another paper.
Flipping to the back of the paper subconsciously, he was imdiately taken aback.
Although the last big question was on differentiation, it could be written as a special research project thesis using the theory of differential operators. This was precisely why the Automation Departnt’s freshn had made such big reactions during the exam.
Even the professor himself didn’t have a standard answer to this kind of big question, because it required various theoretical verification processes.
The boys thought that this question had only been placed as a form of decoration in the papers and didn’t expect any of the freshn to have finished answering it.
He had gone to graduate school following the professor and was also accomplished in the Mathematics field. Hence, he could naturally tell that this student wasn’t randomly scribbling.
“Pro... Professor...”
“What is it?” The professor pushed his glasses and looked up.
“Look at this test paper...” Returning to his senses, the boy walked over and handed the test paper to him.
The professor took it and looked through it.
His expression changed from casual to solemn.
Quickly sitting upright, he read the paper again from beginning to end.
This student had ticulous logical thinking and unique talent in Mathematics far surpassing that of ordinary people. This person was obviously suitable for learning Mathematics. How co this student accidentally went to the Automation Departnt?
He flipped to the na—
Qin Ran.
“I already guessed it was her.” Instead of putting down the paper, he stood up and went out with his phone.
He was in a hurry for sothing.
“This year’s freshn are so fierce?” The boy sighed and stared at his back. “What’s the professor doing?”
“Do you still have to ask?” The second boy looked away and confidently said, “He’s calling the Dean.”

Two days had passed since the exam.
The midterm exam results were basically out.
Other than the Automation papers.
In the Physics Departnt office, the freshn counselor just received the grades and was counting the last subject.
The other faculties had already tabulated their results. Afraid that the Automation students were anxiously waiting for their results, he went online and sent a ssage to the group of students—
[Everyone, keep calm and don’t get impatient. The Mathematics results will be tabulated soon. You can check the scores at noon.]
Class 1 Xing Kai: [Counselor, we’re not anxious. We’re really not anxious, you can tabulate it slowly.]
Class 2: [Yes, counselor.]
Class 3: [We really don’t want to know...]
...
It was Saturday, so except for a few people having two elective classes, others had no major classes.
Beijing University’s atmosphere wasn’t as lively as usual due to the release of the results in the morning.
Their exam questions were notoriously difficult, and the school forum was mixed with joy and depression.
The midterm exam discussion was expectedly on the hot search bar. A bunch of people wailed in the posts. So complained about the perverted questions and suddenly thought of the Physics Departnt’s Automation Departnt.
In the past two days, soone had uploaded the Physics Departnt’s papers to the school forum, and countless people had co to pay their respects to the Automation paper.
1st comnt: [Speaking of Automation, I wonder how the Campus Belle Qin did?]
2nd comnt: [She has always been studying nuclear engineering. I think it’s a little...]
3rd comnt: [What? Have you guys forgotten about the college entrance examination?! She obtained a perfect score even in Hou Delong’s papers!!]
4th comnt: [It’s been two months since the school started. Other than military training, I haven’t seen Qin Ran participating in any activities, neither did she enter the Student Union, nor receive any awards. Are we hyping her up too much?]
5th comnt: [I’m a sophomore in the Mathematics Departnt. If I’m lucky, I think I can get 79 marks for the freshn paper.]
...
Too many rumors about Qin Ran were spreading, and most people kept a wait-and-see attitude.
The entire Beijing University was waiting for the Automation Departnt’s results.
A little past noon.
The Automation Departnt’s results were released.
