My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

Qi Bei's office was on the same floor as the principal's office. After leaving the principal's office, Lin Mo and An Youyu headed straight to the end of the corridor.

An Youyu's lips moved slightly, and her fingers traced a line in Lin Mo's palm.

Lin Mo noticed her subtle movement and stopped in his tracks, puzzled. "What's wrong?"

"that……"

Seeing the girl's shyness, Lin Mo half-jokingly said, "We've slept together before, what's there to be embarrassed about in front of me?"

Lin Mo's words made An Youyu blush. She glared at him with embarrassment and indignation, and corrected him in a low voice, "It was just in a room, not on a bed."

Haven't we ever slept in the same bed?

"You...that's different!"

"What's the difference?"

"That was just playing around, it wasn't..."

"I was just fooling around, what did you think it was?"

Lin Mo smiled mischievously, leaned down and whispered in the girl's ear, inhaling her faint fragrance, "Little Fish, you're not being honest. Even though we're in college now, we can't be thinking about sex all the time. Just think about it occasionally."

Bitter?

An Youyu stared at Lin Mo with her mouth half open, dumbfounded. After a long while, she finally managed to choke out a sentence, "You... you're the one who's accusing me first! I didn't mean to be lewd, you're the one who misled me."

What did I mislead you about?

"You and I……"

An Youyu was on the verge of tears. At this moment, she wished she had the eloquence of Lin Mo.

Lin Mo threw his head back and laughed, "Alright, alright, I was just kidding. What were you trying to say to me just now?"

An Youyu raised her hand and lightly punched Lin Mo in the face before revealing her thoughts, "What you said in the principal's office just now was wrong."

"Haven't I already changed?"

Lin Mo looked bewildered. "What I said later wasn't 'I,' it was 'we.'"

"That wasn't mentioned."

"what is that?"

"It's about... money."

An Youyu turned her head away, "Why do you go around saying that I like money? I don't like money at all, I regard money as dirt."

Lin Mo's lips twitched. "Little Fish, do you even believe what you're saying?"

"I?"

An Youyu pointed innocently to the tip of her nose, "I believe it."

Lin Mo slapped his forehead.

He would never believe such a thing if someone else said it, but he would believe it if An Youyu said it.

This girl is unmatched in her ability to deceive herself.

Seeing that Lin Mo remained silent, An Youyu continued, "Your behavior is wrong. Don't do it again. I really don't like money."

"Ah...yes, yes, yes."

Lin Mo nodded perfunctorily, pulled An Youyu quickly to Qi Bei's office, and knocked on the door.

"Knock-"

"Come in."

Hearing Qi Bei's voice from inside, Lin Mo pushed open the door and entered, with An Youyu obediently following behind.

At his desk, Qi Bei, wearing reading glasses, was leaning over the surface with sheets of scratch paper in front of him. When he saw that the visitors were Lin Mo and An Youyu, he quickly put down his pen and stood up to greet them.

"Rare visitor!"

Qi Bei glanced at An Youyu standing behind Lin Mo, "Girl, why do you always hide behind Lin Mo? Am I that scary?"

"No."

An Youyu smiled shyly, slowly walked to Lin Mo's left, and politely greeted him, "Hello, Professor Qi."

Qi Bei nodded in satisfaction and gestured for the two to sit down on the sofa. "Did you need something?"

Lin Mo didn't beat around the bush, "There is indeed something, Professor Qi, when can the incentive system of Litang be officially implemented?"

"almost."

Hearing this, Qi Bei stroked his beard and laughed, then opened a drawer in the coffee table, took out a document, and handed it to Lin Mo. "The report for applying for funding was submitted a few days ago, and it was stamped on the document."

"Oh?"

Lin Mo looked surprised. "Professor Qi, the application process for funding usually takes three to six months. The higher-ups are being so swift. Are there any additional conditions?"

Qi Bei looked surprised. "You're quite something, kid. You even guessed that?"

Lin Mo didn't explain in detail, just smiled and said, "Did they really mention conditions?"

"Yes."

Qi Bei didn't hide anything, "Once the Litang is established, it will have the authority to select mathematical geniuses from major universities, including Tsinghua University, and these selected mathematical geniuses will join the Dragon Palace."

"Dragon Palace?"

Seeing Lin Mo's puzzled expression, Qi Bei lowered his voice, "Originally, this information would not be made public for the time being, but since you and An Yatou are both members of the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking, it's fine to tell you. However, don't spread what I'm about to say."

"Of course!"

"Ah."

An Youyu was also curious, her eyes blinking.

After the two agreed, Qi Bei's expression turned serious. "After the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking assessment, the Dragon Palace and Phoenix Pavilion will be established. They will not be under the jurisdiction of any state, but will be directly under the Elders' Pavilion. The Dragon Palace and Phoenix Pavilion will have many sub-departments, and you will be assigned to specific departments based on your own conditions and talents."

"The development of science and technology cannot be separated from basic mathematics, and the construction of Litang perfectly meets the above requirements."

As soon as Qi Bei finished speaking, Lin Mo immediately chimed in, "So, in the future, the Litang Academy will become a place that supplies mathematical talents to the Dragon Palace?"

"Not really."

Qi Bei shook his head. "The original intention of establishing the Litang Academy was to bring together mathematicians from all over the country and even the world to conduct academic research. As for helping the higher authorities select mathematical geniuses, we only need to send a few people to be in charge. This does not conflict with the original intention of establishing the Litang Academy."

Lin Mo nodded secretly, and after pondering for a while, he voiced a question that had been buried in his heart for a long time, "Professor Qi, there's something I've never understood: why must the Dragon Ranking be for men and the Phoenix Ranking for women?"

"According to what I know, the Dragon List corresponds to scientific research, and the Phoenix List corresponds to entertainment development. Since these two paths have been established, there should be no distinction between genders. Everyone's talents are different. There are girls who are very talented in science and technology, and there are boys who are suitable for developing in the entertainment industry."

"Distinguishing between genders in the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking is, in my opinion, a very foolish practice!"

Qi Bei chuckled, "Although I don't know the specifics either, I have to admit that what you said makes a lot of sense. Differentiating by gender is indeed a rather unwise decision. However, what's done is done, and no matter what we say, it won't change the outcome."

Since Qi Bei was unaware of the details, Lin Mo didn't dwell on the topic and returned to the initial question, "Professor Qi, how long will it take before Litang's incentive system can be implemented?"

"The location for the Litang Building has only just been chosen, and construction hasn't even started yet, so there's no rush."

Qi Bei's words made Lin Mo somewhat disagree. "Why do we have to wait until the Litang Building is completed before implementing the incentive system? There is no connection between the two. I think as long as the system is sound enough and there is no problem with funding, we can implement the system directly."

"After all, for mathematicians, time is money. The sooner this system is implemented, the sooner many historical mathematical problems may be solved. Academia is an ideal, but money is reality. We are all people who pursue our ideals while living in reality."

Qi Bei was quite surprised to hear these words, and then laughed, "Lin Mo, you really don't seem like an eighteen-year-old."

Lin Mo chuckled dryly, "I'm not eighteen, I'm eighteen and a half."

"..."

Qi Bei was utterly speechless.

This joke is not funny at all.

He looked at An Youyu, "Girl, is this what you mean?"

An Youyu blinked and said weakly, "Lin Mo's meaning is my meaning. Actually, I also think that the incentive system should be implemented as soon as possible. It's not because I like money, but... um, that's it, I don't like money."

Lin Mo: "..."

Qi Bei: "..."

And what is it?

No, they didn't even explain themselves clearly!

After a brief moment of doubt, Lin Mo seemed to have deduced the general possibility.

If nothing unexpected happens, the girl must have thought of an explanation in her mind, but she was so engrossed in it that she didn't say it out loud, and she didn't even realize it.

Simply put, she convinced herself in her mind, thus neglecting to say what she had come up with.

Thinking of this possibility, Lin Mo almost lost his composure. The longer he spent with An Youyu, the more interesting he found her, with all sorts of bizarre things happening one after another.

"cough--"

Qi Bei tapped the coffee table, looking puzzled.

An Youyu snapped out of her daze. "Professor Qi, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

Qi Bei's lips twitched. "Girl, did you... say anything just now?"

"Yes, I have."

An Youyu replied earnestly, "Didn't I just explain to you why I don't like money? You must believe me, I really don't like money."

reason?

When did you give a reason?

Qi Bei looked completely bewildered.

Lin Mo spoke up at the right moment, "Little Fish, no one said you like money, so why are you making an explanation? This sounds a bit like protesting too much."

An Youyu felt a pang of guilt, but stubbornly retorted, "You...you're talking nonsense! If you dare to slander me again, I'll sue you for defamation!"

"Hahaha……"

The conversation between the two seemed to be from another dimension to Qi Bei, and he couldn't understand it at all.

Sure enough, I'm getting old!

A few minutes later, Qi Bei decided to announce the implementation of the Litang incentive system to all teachers and students of the Mathematics Department of Xiabei the next day.
