Shocking! This student is phenomenal!

In a provincial capital city in southern China.

A couple was looking at a somewhat desolate shop in front of them, their eyes filled with disappointment.

This couple is Zhu Fei's parents.

Zhu Fei's father, Zhu Daqiang, is the eldest son in the family.

Having lost his father at a young age, Zhu Daqiang became the second pillar of support in his family after his mother.

He started working at the age of twelve, doing odd jobs in restaurants, washing dishes and vegetables in the kitchen to earn money to support his family.

At the age of sixteen, he began learning cooking from a chef who valued him highly.

Because he was able to endure hardship and put aside his pride, his cooking skills improved rapidly.

Years later, the chef returned to his hometown due to some family reasons, while Zhu Daqiang continued to work hard alone in Kyoto.

He has a deep passion for the catering industry.

Soon after, he opened his first restaurant, Jiangnan Courtyard.

Because of his superb culinary skills, coupled with the fact that he had learned to read people's expressions since he was a child, he knew how to speak to people in a certain way.

The Jiangnan Courtyard quickly became popular.

They have opened many branches all over the country.

However, within a few years, hot pot became popular in the country.

Some hot pot restaurants even opened stores right next to Jiangnan Courtyard, stealing business from the other side.

In addition, the dishes at Jiangnan Courtyard have not changed much over the years, so people have naturally gotten tired of them after eating them for a long time.

With a keen sense of smell, Zhu Daqiang immediately closed several Jiangnan Courtyard restaurants and opened his own hot pot restaurant, Jiangnan Hot Pot.

With the support of a group of loyal customers from the Jiangnan Courtyard, Jiangnan Hot Pot quickly became a hit, and Zhu Daqiang followed suit and started opening directly operated stores across the country.

In just a few years, it has opened nearly a thousand stores across the country.

The scale is enormous.

However, the catering industry changes too quickly.

With the emergence of various types of hot pot, such as Sichuan spicy hot pot and nourishing hot pot, along with the appearance of grilled fish chains, barbecue chains, cuisine chains, and even meat crab pot and bullfrog pot, the hot pot industry has become increasingly popular.

This directly squeezed the living space of Jiangnan hot pot.

The recent hygiene issues with ingredients at Jiangnan hot pot restaurants have only added insult to injury.

This caused the Jiangnan hot pot industry to fall silent once again.

Business has been much worse.

"Sigh, if this continues, we'll have no choice but to cut our losses and close down all the struggling shops."

Zhu Fei's mother sighed.

However, Zhu Daqiang shook his head and said, "The problems here cannot be solved by simply closing the store. We signed five-year, even ten-year contracts for all that rent. If we close the store, there's no guarantee that someone will immediately rent it to us."

"Moreover, with the internet so developed now, it's fine if we close one or two stores, but if hundreds or hundreds of stores close down, it will inevitably cause a heated discussion online and make everyone completely disappointed with Jiangnan Hot Pot."

"Furthermore, how are we going to accommodate so many employees? That's a real problem!"

"What else can we do?" Zhu Fei's mother said in despair.

Zhu Daqiang shook his head: "Society is moving too fast these days, and we really can't keep up. Unless we can develop a very unique flavor and build our own reputation, we will definitely be crushed in this homogenized market."

"Sigh, if only Zhu Fei hadn't... Sigh, never mind, let's go back."

Meanwhile, Zhu Fei's parents were lamenting their loss.

In Wu Hongji's laboratory in Kyoto.

The tense atmosphere was so oppressive that everyone was afraid to even breathe.

Amidst countless gazes.

Dong Hongqiu was the most nervous.

He had just spent a long time analyzing the situation and concluded that it definitely couldn't have been Su Jiang who did it.

But now, Wu Hongji directly asked Su Jiang if Su Jiang had done it.

Even Lin Wanqing was suddenly jolted awake at this moment.

At this moment, the words on the blackboard, after being asked a question by Wu Hongji, completely overlapped with Su Jiang's handwriting.

Previously, she had never thought about Su Jiang at all, assuming that Su Jiang was a language student and would never be proficient in mathematics.

Now she understands.

"I did it. I had dinner with Sister Wanqing that day, and after we finished eating, I was here alone. I saw these questions and thought they were interesting, so I just did them on a whim."

Su Jiang then nodded in reply.

His calm and collected words, coupled with his nonchalant expression and the fact that he was still holding Lin Wanqing's hand, showed no sign of taking the matter seriously.

This caused everyone's already anxious hearts to tremble violently.

The question is interesting?

Did you just do it on a whim?

Does this sound like human speech?

"Did you really do this?" Although Wu Hongji had already mentally rehearsed many times the scenario of meeting the person who actually did the questions.

I've been thinking that Su Jiang must have done the right thing.

But now, when I actually hear Su Jiang admit that he was the one who created these questions.

Wu Hongji's heart was still filled with trembling, and she even doubted whether she had heard correctly and wanted to confirm it again.

"Yes!" Su Jiang nodded.

[Congratulations, host! You have gained 26 Shock Points! Total Shock Points: 4872]

Wu Hongji's body trembled slightly.

He had been searching for this person who seemed much more capable than himself, but when this person stood before him as Su Jiang, a freshman majoring in foreign languages...

He still couldn't help but tremble.

That's terrifying! When did foreign language departments start recruiting students with such strong math skills? Does Tsinghua University's foreign language department intend to crush Kyoto University's math department and take the lead in the field of mathematics?

This is... this is almost laughable if you say it out loud.

Where does that leave the mathematics department of Tsinghua University?

"I give up!"

"This generation of young people is extraordinary!"

Wu Hongji plopped down on a stool.

He shook his head and sighed.

Meanwhile, everyone in the lab had different expressions as they watched Professor Wu's performance.

Some showed an expression that suggested it was only natural.

Others, however, showed signs of utter devastation, with Dong Hongqiu being the most representative example.

Just as Su Jiang was about to step forward and give Dong Hongqiu a little lesson.

"So, SuSu? After I left that day, you didn't leave right away, but finished all these problems before you left?"

Lin Wanqing also confirmed with Su Jiang.

Su Jiang nodded.

"Oh my god, Su Su, you're staying up really late! Don't stay up so late next time, it's bad for your health!" Lin Wanqing scolded.

Everyone in the lab had a strange expression.

I asked myself: Don't you think it's a bit inappropriate to show such affection in such a serious setting?

Just as the sour smell in the laboratory was getting stronger and stronger.

"No, it only took me about half an hour to do these few questions."

Su Jiang shook his head and said with some surprise.

They were astonished, wondering why they needed to stay up all night to do these problems. Wasn't it something that could be done in half an hour?

And that includes the time it takes me to finish all the leftovers!
