Huo Yao was genuinely giving Li Fang acupuncture treatment today. After she was done with classes in the afternoon, she left the Biology department.
Before she left the campus, she went to the Physics department.
It was because Prof Rong wanted to see her.
‘When she got to Prof Rong’s office, he was with someone, so Wu Yue led her into the office to take a seat while she waited.
“Prof Rong is talking to the director and will be out soon,” explained Wu Yue as he poured Huo Yao a glass of water.
Huo Yao took the glass and thanked him.
She was meeting Lin Shuwen at 5:00 pm, so she still had plenty of time to spare.
‘Wu Yue was afraid that Huo Yao would get bored waiting, so he went over to the bookshelf to look for a Quantum Mechanics book available only to the university students. “Why don’t you read this while you are waiting? This is a compilation done by our teachers.”
Huo Yao glanced at the book cover. She recalled the books and the amount of studying she had to do in the past and could not help cringing.
Sadly, the same fate befell her after she entered university.
Huo Yao sighed inside. She quietly took the book from Wu Yue and said softly, “Thanks, Mr. Wu.”
“You are welcome.” Wu Yue waved his hand genially. He did not continue talking to Huo Yao and went back to his desk to work.
Huo Yao held the book in her hands and looked at it intently.
After slightly over ten minutes, the sound of knocking could be heard outside the door. Since the office door was open, Huo Yao raised her head and looked over to see Prof Rong standing at the door.
‘The moment he saw Huo Yao, he waved at her. “Huo Yao, come over.”
There was someone else with him outside the door. Huo Yao closed the book in her hand and told Wu Yue that she was going inside before walking over to the office unhurriedly.
‘When she got to the door, she could hear Prof Rong’s voice.
“This is the student I was telling you about, Huo Yao.” Rong Jun pointed at Huo Yao as he spoke to the serious-looking man standing beside him.
He looked at Huo Yao and said, “This is Director Chen.”
Huo Yao looked at Director Chen before she nodded and greeted him politely. “How do you do?”
Director Chen looked at Huo Yao. It was not his first time hearing Rong Jun bring up this name. Now that he had finally met Huo Yao, he found her confident and composed.
If memory served him right, Huo Yao was the champion in the International Quiz Contest last year.
Director Chen nodded to Huo Yao and said, “Well done. All the best!”
A pretty girl was standing beside Director Chen. She was blown away by Huo Yao’s beauty when she saw her. She looked at Huo Yao quizzically.
Ji Ya found Huo Yao vaguely familiar like she had seen her somewhere before.
Director Chen looked at Rong Jun and didn’t give him a chance to say anything else. “Why don’t you give the research collaboration some consideration. See you around.”
Director Chen tone was solemn when he spoke to Rong Jun.
Rong Jun nodded and said, “Okay. I will get back to you in a couple of days.”
“Alright.”
Before long, Director Chen left with the girl beside him.
The girl took a few steps and turned to glance at Huo Yao again. She could not recall where she had seen Huo Yao. After they had entered the lift, she asked curiously. “Director Chen, was that one of Prof Rong’s students?”
Director Chen was not sure about Huo Yao’s major, so he simply nodded and said, “Probably? She made the country proud by winning the championship at the International Quiz Contest last year. Her performance was great.”
Ji Ya raised her head in surprise.. “Did she come in first at the International Quiz Contest?”
