My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

"..."

Li Zhao resisted the urge to roll his eyes. "You kid... you're really good at making things up."

Lin Mo smiled and said, "Just take it as the teacher praising me."

"Do you want face?"

What is a face?

"..."

In this exchange, Li Zhao was defeated. He took two steps to the side and gave Ye Liu a look.

Ye Liu understood and nodded to Ke Renyi, "Since the first professional class is scheduled for tomorrow, Li Zhao and I will not disturb the principal any longer."

"Alright, teachers, please take a good rest today."

Ke Renyi stood up from the sofa. “You’ve spent several years at Tsinghua University. You must be finding it difficult to adjust to things when you first arrive in Xiabei. If you encounter any difficulties, you can go to Director Cao Lian or come directly to me. We will do our best to make sure that you two teachers have a comfortable and enjoyable time teaching in Xiabei.”

Such an attitude made Li Zhao and Ye Liu feel somewhat apprehensive.

Back when they were at Tsinghua University, let alone the president communicating with them in this manner, they even had a hard time getting to see Xu Huanzhi.

No comparison, no harm.

But in terms of interpersonal skills, Ke Renyi completely surpasses Xu Huanzhi!

"Principal Ke, you're too kind."

After exchanging pleasantries with Ye Liu, Li Zhao prepared to leave.

Suddenly, Qi Bei, who had been silent all along, called out to the two, "Please wait, teachers."

The two men were old colleagues of Qi Bei. Although they were not experts in the same field, they saw each other frequently at Tsinghua University and had a good relationship.

Upon hearing Qi Bei speak, Li Zhao and Ye Liu both stopped and turned around.

Qi Bei pointed to the sofa on the side, "Please sit down, teachers. I have something I'd like to ask for your opinion on."

Li Zhao and Ye Liu exchanged a glance, both looking puzzled.

Antique restoration and mathematics are two completely different fields. As a top mathematician, Qi Bei's affairs should not be related to them at all.

Filled with doubt, the two sat down.

Ye Liu spoke first, "What is it, Elder Qi?"

Qi Bei didn't mince words, pointing to An Youyu across from him, "This girl has a good talent for mathematics. Before you came, Principal Ke and I discussed it and decided to let her study two majors, learning antiquities restoration while also studying mathematics."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhao and Ye Liu both widened their eyes.

What shocked the two was not the double major, but Qi Bei's words.

In the past two days, the two had heard some rumors that Qi Bei brought the entire mathematics department of Tsinghua University to Xia Bei, apparently for a mathematical genius.

Is it possible...

Is An Youyu the legendary math genius?

Qi Bei observed the change in their expressions and guessed what was going on. "I brought a bunch of kids to Xia Bei, all for An Youyu. If you two teachers don't agree, then we've come for nothing."

Ye Liu glanced at An Youyu, his expression extremely complicated. "Elder Qi, is this girl really that capable?"

"Of course it's amazing!"

Before Qi Bei could say anything, Ke Renyi spoke up first, "The two teachers probably don't know about An Youyu's situation. She was the first perfect scorer in the Xia Dynasty."

"A perfect scorer?"

Li Zhao exclaimed in surprise, completely losing his composure, "She's this year's perfect scorer, the number one on the Phoenix List?"

He had heard rumors that this year's top scorer was a girl, but because the Ministry of Education kept An Youyu's information confidential, he only knew that a girl had scored a perfect score, but he didn't know her name or what she looked like.

"Yes, that's her."

Ke Renyi was very satisfied with Li Zhao's reaction. He had reacted the same way when the college entrance examination results were first released, and he was even more out of control than Li Zhao.

Li Zhao forced a smile. "Ye Liu and I really did find a treasure!"

"hiss--"

Ye Liu took a deep breath. "I'll just say this: it would make Li Zhao and me feel guilty if a top scorer came to study antiquities restoration. Since she has this talent, she should choose a major that requires higher talent, such as mathematics."

Upon hearing this, Qi Bei was overjoyed.

But before he could be happy for long, An Youyu's words dealt him a heavy blow.

"Teacher, I like antique restoration, but I don't like math."

Qi Bei slapped his forehead, turned around and gave Xia Lingrou a look, then whispered, "Xiaorou, you have to win this girl over. You have to make her like math."

Xia Lingrou smiled wryly, "Teacher, please don't make things difficult for me, okay? It's her choice to decide what she likes. I have no right to force someone else to change their preferences."

"Aren't you her teacher's wife?"

"I……"

"I'll leave this matter to you."

"teacher……"

"If you can't handle it, don't call me teacher anymore."

"..."

Xia Lingrou shook her head and chuckled, then nodded helplessly in agreement, "I'll give it a try."

Qi Bei smiled with satisfaction, "That's more like it. Guide me well, and you can use my resources and connections as you please from now on."

Xia Lingrou's expression changed drastically. "Teacher... is this really true?"

Chapter 528 Litang

"of course."

Qi Bei smiled and nodded, "When have I ever lied to you?"

Xia Lingrou smiled and said, "In that case, I will do my best."

Others might not know what Qi Bei's words meant, but Xia Lingrou, as his apprentice, knew very well that her teacher was not only known as a towering figure in the domestic mathematics community, but also as one of the top mathematicians internationally. His network of connections could only be described as terrifying.

Putting aside other things, many top-notch scientific research projects have their leaders approach Qi Bei before the project even starts, asking him to recommend mathematicians to participate.

And these are precisely what Xia Lingrou desperately needs.

Little Fish, your teacher's wife is so sorry!

On the other side, after hearing An Youyu's answer, Ye Liu shook his head and chuckled, giving Li Zhao a look.

Li Zhao coughed lightly, "Well... since you like it, then learn it. Nothing is more important than liking it. Teacher Ye Liu and I will definitely teach you everything we know. How much you learn depends on yourself."

"Thank you teacher."

An Youyu bowed to express her gratitude.

This bow comes from the heart.

Two master-level antique restorers teaching her one student? No one would believe it if you told them; the resources are just too good to be true!

"cough--"

Qi Bei's cough attracted the attention of Ye Liu and Li Zhao. The two knew what Qi Bei meant by this and could only smile wryly.

Finally, Li Zhao spoke up to explain, "Professor Qi, Ye Liu and I naturally have no objection to this matter. It mainly depends on An Youyu's own choice. If she is willing, our Department of Antiquities Restoration will definitely cooperate with your Department of Mathematics to make time for her."

Ye Liu nodded. "That's right."

"it is good!"

Qi Bei smiled and nodded, "What the two teachers said is enough."

After saying that, his gaze fell on An Youyu. "Girl, neither of your two teachers have any objections. How about you minor in mathematics?"

"No."

An Youyu shook her head and refused.

The decisiveness of the refusal surprised everyone in the office, except for Lin Mo.

No one understands An Youyu better than him. She is indeed weak-willed, but that is only relative. When she has no opinion, she is submissive. But once she makes up her mind, it is difficult to change her mind no matter what others say.

unless……

There is external force!

Qi Bei's smile froze on his face, and he secretly gave Xia Lingrou a wink.

Xia Lingrou walked around the sofa and came to An Youyu's side. After sitting down next to her, she said softly, "Little Yu'er, don't refuse so decisively. At least consider it, right? Professor Qi has doctoral quotas available. You can get a double doctoral degree by minoring in mathematics. This is an opportunity that many people dream of but can't get."

"Correct!"

Qi Bei chimed in, "Girl, as long as you agree to minor in mathematics, I promise you that I will definitely have a spot for you in my doctoral program."

"No."

Unsurprisingly, An Youyu refused once again.

She didn't even hesitate, remaining as decisive as before.

A PhD in mathematics, with two degrees?

These things held no appeal for her. She wanted to learn antiquities restoration, a field with a vast amount of complex knowledge. Mastering antiquities restoration required a great deal of effort, and she didn't want to divert that energy to learning mathematics.

Broad knowledge is not as good as specialized knowledge, and specialized knowledge is not as good as refined knowledge.

Besides, just because she has a talent for mathematics doesn't mean she likes mathematics.

Talent is something you can't control; she's born with it. All she knows is that she really has no interest in math.

In that case, forcing yourself to learn math is just pushing yourself.

An Youyu remembered something Lin Mo had once said: "You have to learn to say no."

After being rejected repeatedly, Xia Lingrou shrugged helplessly and gave her teacher a look, indicating that she was powerless to help.

Qi Bei scratched his balding head and looked at Ke Renyi with pleading eyes.
