Li Zheng knew very well that he shouldn’t judge people purely based on academic ability.
Take Liu Xin, for example. He might only be an academic level 5 weakling, but he still played a role... played a role... at least in making that dull classroom cheerful.
Then there’s Lin Yujing’s father, who has never been discussed. No matter how you look at it, he should be a Planetary Level warrior, but without a doubt, in terms of private morality and righteousness, he’s just a scumbag.
But at this mont, in this office, Li Zheng just couldn’t help himself...
Just like all n proclaim, "True beauty is on the inside," "I like kind girls," "I never judge a book by its cover."
Just like all won declare, "I go by the vibe when it cos to relationships," "Personality is the most important," "The most important attributes in a man are a sense of responsibility and ambition."
But in practice, a pretty face or a demolition notice is often their real motivation for getting involved, and inner beauty is just a data correction done on that basis.
Just as every child knows they should "study hard," but just can’t do it.
Under the temptation of the Scholar’s Eye, Li Zheng too couldn’t resist the impulse to judge people by their academic prowess.
It’s just one more reference dinsion...
It’s just one more reference dinsion...
It’s just one more reference dinsion...
...
After repeating it several tis in his mind, Li Zheng finally opened his eyes.
His right hand instinctively covered his right eye, like an evil youth who wanted to see the truth of the world.
And imdiately, he locked onto Lin Yujing.
This monster with an Academic Fortune of up to 150...
Her Academic Power is...
[Lin Yujing]
[Academic Power Value: 317]
"Ha... hahaha... hahaha..." Li Zheng couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Too weak.
Scum.
"Hm?" Lin Yujing suddenly looked up, shivered at the sight of Li Zheng covering his eye and sneering coldly, "Have you been reading Xiaoke’s comics too much?"
"No, I just thought of sothing really funny," Li Zheng quickly shook his head, "I heard that Zhang Xiaoke can’t swim but can float on water."
Lin Yujing narrowed her eyes and said, "Making fun of doggie’s figure isn’t funny."
"The funny part cos next," Li Zheng gestured, "This involves buoyancy and fluid chanics, so the question is, is water the fluid, or is Zhang Xiaoke the fluid? Hah, hahaha!"
...
"Ahem..." Shen Tinglan sorting through docunts looked up and said, "Jingjing, I rember you said you would only talk to Li Zheng tomorrow."
"Ah," Lin Yujing hurriedly covered her mouth, "That doesn’t count just now."
At the sa ti, Li Zheng’s Scholar’s Eye had already locked onto Shen Tinglan.
[Shen Tinglan]
[Academic Power Value: 3578]
!!!
Li Zheng’s right eye seed to feel a burning sensation.
A true powerhouse, she’s a real powerhouse!
In his shock, soone barged into the office again without knocking.
There’s a camp at Yangtze Academy on the 11th, and they asked us to send soone over," Chen Hongbing poked his head in. "Would it be okay if I reported Chen Wei for it?"
[Chen Hongbing]
[Academic Power Value: 107]
Ah!
My eyes, my Eye of Knowledge!
Li Zheng, clutching his Scholar’s Eye, seed as if he had suffered a major blow.
The last opportunity of the day was wasted on him...
However, nobody paid attention to him, Shen Tinglan just shook his head, "No, Chen Wei needs to participate in engine testing, he’s already overwheld with work."
"What a hassle..." Chen Hongbing pulled up a chair and sat down as if he were at ho, resting his chin on his hands, "At such a critical ti, the Group insists on pulling people out for this... why can’t they just do military drills..."
Upon hearing the term "military drills," Lin Yujing instantly shivered.
Military training was the most terrifying thing; since elentary school, she had always gotten by with sick leave notes from the aerospace center hospital.
"Has Academy One already started organizing its own troops?" Lin Yujing asked quiveringly.
"Don’t talk nonsense," Chen Hongbing hurriedly explained, "it’s just that the Group’s union and HR folks ca up with the idea of a Yangtze Academy, and this year they launched so Eagle Plan, specifically for the training of the newly recruited staff, to lecture them on Project Yellow 2, how to overco difficulties and stuff, and then to hand out so awards after arbitrarily grading them."
In the organizational structure of the aerospace system, there is an Aerospace Group above the academies, responsible for unified managent.
Considering the enormity of the system, it makes sense to have an academy specifically for internal employee training.
Only...
"Right now, you are the least busy. You do it," Shen Tinglan waved his hand.
"Not... I an, I also have a heavy workload," Chen Hongbing gestured, "Don’t you feel the pressure of coordinating on multiple fronts?"
"Just don’t touch my people," Shen Tinglan grabbed the organized docunts and stood up, "Ti for the eting, let’s walk and talk."
"Walk and talk..."
Just as the two were about to leave, Li Zheng, who had been covering his eyes, suddenly raised his hand, "Ah, this... Director Chen, I’m actually not that busy here."
"Ah?" Chen Hongbing widened his eyes and turned to Shen Tinglan, "Is this kid challenging ?"
"I think... he might want to join the Eagle Plan..." Shen Tinglan turned around to persuade, "That plan is not what you imagine. Military training accounts for 50%, and the rest is all about psychological and team building exercises, with very little technical content involved – it’s almost the sa as a company team building, not much to learn from."
"Shen... Teacher Shen..." Li Zheng stood up, "I was thinking... I might have so learning and project experience to share with everyone."
"You want to train them?" Chen Hongbing clapped and laughed, "Ha, a high schooler training post-graduates!"
"But... didn’t the director want Chen Wei to go before? Chen Wei hasn’t graduated either, right?"
"Yes, but Chen Wei has been interning here long enough to talk about so stuff. Besides... I was just thinking of sending soone who wouldn’t be missed much."
Chen Hongbing pursed his lips, "To really send you... that excuse might be a bit too obvious..."
Li Zheng nodded earnestly, "I have two papers in top-tier journals within the system, I’ve participated in critical milestone work for the Reset project, and won several contests. This morning I even talked with Yang Zhenhua for an hour and a half... Although I don’t have a degree yet, compared with Chen Wei..."
"Alright, alright, I got it..." Chen Hongbing turned to look at Shen Tinglan, "What do you think?"
Shen Tinglan thought for a mont and asked Li Zheng, "Reasons?"
"I want to practice public speaking, training, and organizational skills."
Shen Tinglan then looked at Lin Yujing, "Hmm..."
"Ummm ummm ummm..." Lin Yujing shook her head frantically, "I’m fine just enjoying the air conditioning here..."
Only then did Shen Tinglan suggest to Chen Hongbing, "How about sending Li Zheng over to try it out?"
"This... the Group leader personally made a call to Secretary Zhao..." Chen Hongbing looked at Li Zheng, conflicted, "Isn’t this excuse a bit too disrespectful..."
"What did Secretary Zhao tell you?" Shen Tinglan asked.
"He said everyone in the system is working their tails off, and at a ti like this, the leader still wants to do this, just go along with it, send anyone who can talk."
"Then... Li Zheng should et the requirents."
Li Zheng hastily expressed, "I won’t delay the work here, I’ll check engineering drawings while they run, and carry out simulation drills at night."
After looking back and forth between them, Chen Hongbing finally shook his head, "Let’s try it... I’ll dress up Li Zheng’s title a bit, it’s all the sa bluffing for the newbies, anyway."
"Thank you, Director!"
"No, I should be thanking you..."
Chen Hongbing didn’t leave the office before saying to Shen Tinglan, "Can you arrange for the two of them to be in the public office area?"
"What’s the matter?"
"The mont I enter your office I relax too much... and tend to speak very casually..." Chen Hongbing spread his hands with a pained expression, "Always being seen by them like this, it ruins the authority I’m trying to build."
Shen Tinglan chuckled with a notebook in hand, "Do you have any authority?"
"?" Chen Hongbing glared, then gestured towards the office area, "Chen Wei! What are you slouching there for?"
"Present!!!" Chen Wei jumped up startled, "I was... checking WeChat..."
"Was it the sa with those two from Academy Three at lunchti?"
"..." Chen Wei blushed and forced the words through clenched teeth, "Haven’t seen those seniors... for a while... just a short break at noon."
"Right, I saw your vacation request on the desk earlier."
"No, I didn’t apply," Chen Wei said forcefully, holding back his tears. "No rest for , Director."
"Alright, get back to work," Chen Hongbing waved his hand and said with a satisfied smile, "Majestic."
Shen Tinglan rolled his eyes, "Just a tiny salary, and you don’t even let people take their annual leave..."
"It’s about the atmosphere. If one person takes a break, everyone will take a break," Chen Hongbing raised his eyebrow and said, "Besides, weren’t you the one who led by not taking any breaks?"
"I did it voluntarily..."
"Who isn’t doing it voluntarily," Chen Hongbing said with a laugh as he surveyed the office area.
…...
Inside the office, Lin Yujing let out a distant "hmm."
"Hmm."
"…"
"Hmm hmm," she humd twice.
"…"
"Hmm hmm hmm…" three tis.
"If you have sothing to say, just say it, why keep humming?" Li Zheng flipped through the material on his computer and said.
In fact, he looked down on it inside.
A person with only a little over 300 Academic Power, shouldn’t they show so respect when talking to a big shot with nearly a thousand Academic Power?
"So fierce…" Lin Yujing said with a fierce look, "Where did you get the nerve to be so fierce all of a sudden, you weren’t even this brave when you scored higher than in the last exam."
"Hmph," Li Zheng lightly rubbed his right eye, "It’s not being fierce, it’s confidence."
"Nonsense," Lin Yujing flipped a page of her book and said, "So... what exactly did Yang Zhenhua say..."
"Oh?" Li Zheng narrowed his eyes, "Want to know?"
"Sort of..."
"Then forget it," Li Zheng shook his head, "With only sort of interest, I don’t feel passionate about telling you."
"!!!"
"You glaring at like that makes even less passionate," he said.
"I! Do! Want to know!" Lin Yujing cursed, "Is that good enough for you?"
"Mind your tone," Li Zheng frowned and said, "Talking to a professor like that, he won’t say anything."
"Ahhhhh!" Lin Yujing scratched her head in frustration, "Why is it just your luck that’s so good."
"It’s emotional intelligence," Li Zheng tapped his forehead, "I have a good relationship with the teachers, and that’s why they notify ."
"Hmm..." Lin Yujing struggled and lowered her head.
Can’t help it.
The emotional intelligence of Scum Chap must be acknowledged.
"Professors are really nice people," Li Zheng said casually as he flipped through the materials, "As long as you are obedient, polite, and respectfully inquire, they are very eager to express their thoughts."
"Why are you telling this?"
Li Zheng leaned back in his chair and spread his hands, "Obedient, polite, and respectful."
"..." Lin Yujing’s expression beca even more fierce, "You want to treat you like that?"
"Not ," Li Zheng pointed at his forehead, "It’s about showing respect to the professor’s wisdom."
"…" Lin Yujing struggled even more intensely, "You... you want to respect you like I respect Yang Zhenhua... that much respect?"
"If that’s really the case, once the atmosphere is right..." Li Zheng stroked his chin, "The professor’s wisdom should jump right out of my head, I guess."
"Hmm..." Lin Yujing stared at Li Zheng, trying hard to start respecting him.
It was so hard she was about to be sick.
"Ugh... I can’t..." Lin Yujing said as she held onto the table, "Is this supposed to be... Cosplaying the professor?"
"It’s Professor Play."
"Ahhh!" Lin Yujing cried out in agony, clutching her head, "Why would the professor tell soone like you!"
"Suit yourself," Li Zheng shrugged, "If there’s nothing important, don’t interrupt my studying."
Two minutes later.
"Hmm..."
"Hmm hmm..."
"Hmm hmm hmm..."
"What’s this again," Li Zheng said, massaging his forehead, "I already told you not to interrupt my studying."
But then he saw Lin Yujing rise shyly to her feet.
"Pro... Professor... may I ask you a few questions...?"
Li Zheng’s eyes widened.
Professor Play...
Brilliant!
Li Zheng clapped wildly on the chair beside him, "Co on, the professor is very willing to share."
"Ahhhh!" Lin Yujing grabbed her head again, "Yang Zhenhua would never be this outrageous."
"Co on," Li Zheng kept clapping madly, "I feel the wisdom is about to erge, it’s coming... here it cos..."
"…"
In reality, Lin Yujing did nothing after that.
Li Zheng simply let the professor’s wisdom flow out.
Half an hour later...
"Is that it?" Lin Yujing asked, looking at the notebook.
"That’s quite a lot already. Aren’t these original ideas on Unified Field Theory fragrant?"
"Hmm... Did you secretly hide sothing..." Lin Yujing turned to ask.
"No, I gave it all," Li Zheng said, spreading his hands, "Everything the professor said, everything I could understand, I shared it all."
"Then I guess you understood too little," Lin Yujing scoffed as she packed up and stood up, looking disdainful, "Scum Chap."
Li Zheng felt a bit aggrieved.
Way too heartless.
This woman just takes it and leaves, way too heartless.
Lin Yujing returned to her seat, pondered in a serious manner, occasionally checking so information, doodling and writing.
Just as Li Zheng was healing his emotional wounds, getting ready to continue studying...
[Academic Fortune change detected]
[Lin Yujing]
[Academic Fortune: 50→151]
[151→153]
…...
[163→167]
"Hmm," Lin Yujing closed her notebook with satisfaction, looking well-fed, "So that’s how it is... Truly worthy of a professor."
At this mont, Li Zheng’s eyes had gone red.
It was as if the Divine Skill had encountered a Reset.
He felt like an Academic Fortune reservoir.
He quickly checked himself.
[Li Zheng]
[Academic Fortune: 117]
Thankfully... it was just sharing, not a full outpouring.
"Hmm," Lin Yujing suddenly looked up, "Is there more?"
"No more..." Li Zheng shook his head dumbfounded, "Not a drop left."
