Top Student at Their Peak-Chapter 219 - 106 He’s Really Good At..._5

Qiao Yu patted his backpack and said, "Going to Huaqing, our grandmaster asked me to study in his office this afternoon."

"Grandmaster?" Chen Zhuoyang was taken aback, then quickly realized and asked in surprise, "You’re talking about Elder Yuan?"

"Yeah, do we have any other grandmaster in our lineage?" Qiao Yu asked curiously.

Chen Zhuoyang instinctively raised his hand to scratch his head and asked with a complicated expression, "Have you told the boss?"

"Boss? What boss?" Obviously, Qiao Yu was still unfamiliar with graduate student slang, and asked in bewilderment.

"Oh, it’s Director Tian."

"Huh? Why is Director Tian the boss?"

Chen Zhuoyang helplessly explained, "It’s because the advisor gives us projects and stipends, so we affectionately call them that among ourselves. But that’s a minor issue; the key is that Director Tian doesn’t know about you going to Huaqing, right?"

"Of course he knows, I reported it to Director Tian, and he even encouraged me to seek advice from the grandmaster more often. Oh, I’m not going to keep talking to you; I’ve arranged to meet the grandmaster at two in the afternoon, and it’s not good to be late for the first meeting. Once you’re done, just lock the door for me; I’m heading off now. Bye, Senior Brother."

After speaking, Qiao Yu opened the door and rushed out.

Chen Zhuoyang stood dazed in the room, staring blankly at the open door, forgetting the work at hand.

What’s going on?

Director Tian asked Qiao Yu to go to Huaqing to consult Elder Yuan?

Oh my goodness, realizing the situation, Chen Zhuoyang trembled as he took out his phone from his pocket.

Seriously trembling, as he shakily opened a group chat.

"Major event, damn, really a major event, you absolutely wouldn’t believe it!!!"

Being used to sending such messages without thinking, after typing this, Chen Zhuoyang suddenly realized, should he be sharing this information?

Junior Brother isn’t in this group, if he spreads it around and misinterprets the boss’ intentions...

After all, he’s not as favored as Junior Brother, able to do as he pleases.

Thinking of this, he quickly deleted the typed words but found it was too late to recall the last message.

By this time, someone in the group had already seen the message.

"Zhuoyang, what major event? Tell us."

"Nothing, sorry, I made a mistake." Chen Zhuoyang quickly replied, which immediately brought out a bunch of lurkers eager to see what’s happening.

"..."

"???"

"Seriously? I was so excited I just tossed my freshly written paper aside, and you say it was a mistake?"

"Exactly, come on, Old Chen, your hair is almost all gone, how can you still be so restless?"

"Scram, scram, scram! I have things to do! Not bothering with you guys!"

"Wait, Old Chen, I heard the boss has taken on a new student, just started high school, have you met them?"

"Right, I heard they’re impressive, seems they’ve already gone to Yanbei, will I be able to meet them when I get back in a few days?"

...

Chen Zhuoyang didn’t continue to read the chat logs; instead, he turned off his phone and put it back in his pocket, then began to focus on setting up the printer.

Even though this issue was weighing on him, there was no choice. At almost thirty, he already understood the principle of ’the more you say, the more mistakes you make’.

The most crucial thing is, in different stages of life, the margin for error is different.

Like Junior Brother, at just fifteen, already having such status and resources, the margin for error at this stage is terrifyingly large. Honestly speaking, even if he made some huge mistake, he’d still have protective laws on his side...

But it’s different for him; he’s planning to graduate at thirty next year, the margin for error is terrifyingly low, if he delays another one or two years, the most delightful time in life would truly be wasted. freёwebnoѵel.com

Comparing oneself to others, it’s really infuriating, damn it!

...

Qiao Yu couldn’t possibly know Senior Brother Chen’s complex mindset right now, he was in a relaxed mood anyway.

Previously, he said he wanted to make Huaqing the closest school to becoming a world-class university, but since getting in touch with the grandmaster, his goals have changed. Since everyone is this close and part of one family, it makes sense to join hands and aim to rank all into the top tier of world universities together.

This can also help align Huaxia with the world, anyway, from whichever angle you look, the top-tier universities are these two, as for the third one, let everyone decide, just thinking about it feels exciting.

With this relaxed mindset, Qiao Yu hummed a tune as he arrived at the entrance of Huaqing, and without having to call his grandmaster, someone was already there to greet him.

"You’re Qiao Yu, right?"

Qiao Yu nodded, looking at this guy in front of him, seemingly not much older, with quite long hair, and said, "Yes, and you are?"

"Oh, I’m Liu Zheyun, assistant professor at the Yuan Zhengxin Mathematics Research Center, Mr. Yuan sent me to the school gate to take you to Qiuzhai."

"Thank you, Professor Liu."

Qiao Yu thanked him and quickly walked into Huaqing’s campus.

Probably because the school hasn’t started yet, the campus wasn’t too lively, though there were noticeably more cars passing by.

"Professor Liu, are you a student of my grandmaster?"

Qiao Yu was curiously looking around while walking beside Liu Zheyun, not forgetting to casually chat.

Upon hearing Qiao Yu call out "grandmaster", this assistant professor’s expression became a bit odd, but he replied, "Uh... sort of, I was in the Yuan Zhengxin Mathematics Talent Class at Huaqing during my undergraduate studies, then went abroad to pursue a PhD under the supervision of Professor Zhou Zhixun, also introduced by Elder Yuan, and returned to Huaqing after graduation."

"I see, Brother Liu you’re really impressive, returning from studying abroad at such a young age and becoming a professor."

"No, no, I’m already thirty-one, not that young anymore, you’re the young one with unlimited potential." Liu Zheyun remarked emotionally.
