Chapter 759: 300 Newcomers on the Edge!_3
“Have some tea,” Bai Lian offered the tea to President Huang.
Now’s the time for tea?
President Huang picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and found it quite pleasant. He calmed down for a moment; his gaze fleetingly wanted to say something more, but then he caught sight of the girl quietly reading on the sofa.
Yang Lin’s personal style was quite distinct. She wore black-framed glasses year-round, had bangs that were very long, and shoulder-length hair.
Just sitting there, she didn’t have a strong presence.
President Huang was taken aback for a moment, then stood up abruptly with a “thump” and exclaimed in surprise, “Yang Lin?”
Yang Lin closed her book and stood up, “President Huang.”
“Is it really you?” President Huang’s eyes lit up. “I was in your lab just a couple of days ago and didn’t see you. Yang Lin, have you given any thought to my suggestion from last time?”
Yang Lin glanced at his head and adjusted her glasses, “President Huang, I’m just a freshman…”
“No problem, I can wait!” President Huang waved his hand dismissively. “Yang Lin, you must believe that you are definitely better than Old Xia!”
Yang Lin: “…”
“I’m going down to help Grandpa.”
Yang Lin put down her book and went downstairs to room 103.
The butler and Wen Zhixia also realized that Bai Lian and President Huang had something to discuss, so they both went downstairs as well.
Once out the door, the butler asked Wen Zhixia, “Who is that President Huang?”
The president?
Which institute’s president?
Wen Zhixia glanced back at room 303. She didn’t know, but felt that this year, her friend had truly exceeded her expectations by far.

Upstairs.
After everyone left, President Huang sat down again to drink tea. “I never expected you to know Yang Lin.”
These two people, one earmarked by Academician Ma, the other favored by Old Xia, were both destined to stand at the pinnacle of their fields.
Jiang University had an abundance of talent this year, alright, but how do they all know each other?
“We were deskmates in our senior year,” Bai Lian refilled President Huang’s cup with tea.
Deskmates in their senior year?
From the same class, and also from Xiangcheng?
President Huang was even more amazed. He had heard Xia Zhuoyu mention Yang Lin, but only knew that her name was Yang Lin and that she was a student Xia Zhuoyu valued. What a coincidence. Xiangcheng was really brimming with talent this year.
After discussing Yang Lin, President Huang brought up the main issue at hand with a serious expression, “I haven’t found Professor Zhou. What is he up to these days? Don’t you really worry at all?”
He broke down the situation for Bai Lian, explaining the pros and cons.
While President Huang spoke, Bai Lian listened quietly.
Only after he finished did she look up, “We all know, but I think Professor Zhou doesn’t wish to apply for withdrawal himself.”
“Not to withdraw?” President Huang stood up hastily. “How can that be acceptable, this is no joke. What foolishness, absolute foolishness! It will not only jeopardize his students’ academic careers; doesn’t he understand that, if you all don’t?”
Learning that the crux of the issue lay with Zhou Wenqing, President Huang couldn’t sit still.
He was determined to go to the research center to find the sequestered Zhou Wenqing and get things clear.
“I believe Professor Zhou is quite aware,” said Bai Lian idly as she picked up her teacup, “didn’t Director Lin mention, at the time, that there was a chance Professor Zhou could become the associate dean?”
“Hmm?” President Huang suddenly lowered his head to look at her.
With a smile, Bai Lian’s slender fingers curved to lightly lift the teacup she was holding, her lazy gaze revealing a sharp edge, “Let me congratulate the Department of Physics in advance.”

January 13th.
All exams for the Tongfeng class were over, and it was also the deadline for Professor Zhou Wenqing’s lab project.
There were many discussions on the forum about this matter.
Not many big events happened at Jiang University this year, but most of them were related to Bai Lian. By this time, most of the students had finished their final exams.
Early in the morning, just after seven o’clock, a crowd had already gathered outside the Physics building.
Towards the end of the year, Song Min and Bai Shaoqi were busy as well. They found Dean Feng to take them to the annual gathering of their private equity firm, and today they came to the Department of Physics to look for Bai Shaoke.
They arrived just in time to witness the grand scene at the Physics building.
“Professor Zhou’s lab hasn’t made progress in years,” a teammate of Bai Shaoke explained to Song Min with a gleeful tone, “You freshmen probably know about this year’s newcomers, like Bai Lian and the others. After Dr. Zuo didn’t accept them, they went to Professor Zhou’s lab.”
This news was well-known on the forum, but it was the first time Song Min and Bai Shaoqi had heard about it.
“If Professor Zhou’s lab closes down, who else would take them in?” Bai Shaoqi slowly withdrew her gaze and turned to speak with Song Min, “Shall we go in together and have a look?”
She looked at Song Min; he was holding his phone and did not refuse.
The Physics building’s auditorium was crowded with people.
This matter was a hot topic; the student council of the Physics Department was maintaining order and not allowing outsiders to enter.
