Director Wang walked out of the office and regretted his boastful words.
He did happen to have a book that was on the book list Sister Xi had given him, but he had spent a lot of effort to get this book.
He could not even bear to let others see it.
Even he himself, when looking at it, had to treat it like a treasure. He would burn incense and clean his hands before carefully taking it out, afraid that it would be damaged.
At this moment, he walked to the bookshelf beside him and stared at the book. He gritted his teeth and revealed a reluctant expression.
His graduate student could not help but ask, “Teacher, what are you doing?”
Director Wang: “…If you can’t bear to part with a child, you can’t be a wolf!”
The graduate student: “…”
What wolf are you talking about?
After saying that, he gritted his teeth and took out the small box containing the book. There was a lock on the box.
After he unlocked it, he could see a book wrapped in red silk. Director Wang carefully took out the book and touched it lovingly before sighing.
This book could not be printed in large quantities and spread because it involved a lot of national defense knowledge. It was already very difficult for him to have one here.
Director Wang carried his child… oh, no, his book, and walked back to his office.
Just as he entered, he saw Xue Xi sitting on his chair. She was holding a pen and writing something frantically.
Director Wang: “…Cough.”
After he coughed, Xue Xi looked up and said, “I saw that your problem is the same as ours, so I tried to help you solve it.”
Director Wang waved his hand. “This is the problem from your project. Your physics team leader is called Li Man. He is my student and he came to ask me for guidance today.”
Xue Xi: “…Oh.”
Xue Xi stood up and gave way to Director Wang. The latter passed the book in his hand to Xue Xi. When he saw her accept it with both hands and casually stuff it into her bag, Director Wang’s eyes nearly tried to enter her bag.
His book child!
He reminded her, “Be careful when reading this book.”
Xue Xi nodded. “I will. I know that these books are not easy to obtain. They’re not things that ordinary people can come into contact with. It’s already very out of the ordinary for you to lend them to me. After reading them, I’ll return them to you properly.”
Not easy…
Director Wang was proud and immediately said, “What’s so hard about it? To me, to the Physics Department, these things are very simple. If you like this book, you don’t have to return it!”
Xue Xi: “…Okay. Thank you, Director Wang.”
Director Wang: “?”
Did he say that just now?
How could he let himself be slapped at his own cost?
The corners of his lips twitched. He wished he could put his eyes into her bag and leave with his book!
His book…
At this thought, he clenched his jaw and said, “This is nothing. I’ll give you all the good books in the future.”
“…”
What exactly is wrong with me?!
Director Wang patted his forehead and finally sat down. He then picked up the documents Li Man had given him and looked at them. “This problem of yours is indeed very difficult. The reason why the project got stuck is also because of this problem. I don’t know how foreign countries solved this problem, but don’t worry, I will help you guys. It’s fine even if you can’t solve it since I’m around. Physics is vast and profound. It’s not something you can do casually…”
He trailed off.
Before Director Wang could finish speaking, his gaze suddenly froze.
He stared at the contents in disbelief and immediately looked up at Xue Xi. “You… you solved it?”
Xue Xi nodded. “It’s quite simple.”
Director Wang: “…”
Don’t you know that this is a problem that many people study day and night but are unable to solve?!
Simple…
That word was really light!
Director Wang suddenly felt that Xue Xi was indeed unfathomable. No wonder those three old men were fighting over her to the point of losing face.
If it were him, he would fight for her too!
Director Wang coughed and said, “Xue Xi, I heard that you’re a student from the Computer, Chemistry, and Math Departments?”
Xue Xi nodded. “Yes.”
Director Wang rubbed his chin and said in all seriousness, “Then do you mind taking Physics on top of that?”
“…”
Xue Xi naturally did not mind. She nodded. “Okay.”
After she left Director Wang’s office, Feng Xingshen, Director Chen, and Director Liu rushed there. “Old Wang! You’re too much! She was just borrowing a few books, and you’re already snatching her away from us?”
Director Wang: “I’m different from you guys. I just asked casually and she agreed. Do you know what this means?”
“What?”
“It means that she loves physics.”
The rest: “…”
“Nonsense. She clearly loves mathematics!”
“She loves chemistry!”
“It’s computers she loves!”
Just as they were about to quarrel, the vice principal suddenly walked over. The moment he entered, the vice principal sighed. “Stop arguing!”
The four of them turned to look at him in unison and heard the vice principal say, “Just now, the dean of the finance department also called Sister Xi and invited her to listen to his class. She agreed. Then, she even asked if she could learn more subjects, even going so far as to look for me and say that she wanted to attend all of Huaxia University’s classes.”
The rest: “?”
Sister Xi, you have let us down!
We treat you wholeheartedly, but you’re too half-hearted… No, your mind is in splinters!
…
…
Back then, Xue Xi had chosen Huaxia University and not Huazhong University because Huaxia University’s comprehensiveness was greater. What she wanted to learn was not only mathematics but also more than a few other subjects.
She was very interested in studying. She wanted to try and learn everything.
Hence, after the vice principal submitted her application, she returned to the laboratory.
The physics team.
Li Man happened to answer Director Wang’s call and said excitedly, “You helped us solve our problem? That’s too lucky! Teacher, you’re too amazing. I’ll be right there!”
Li Man quickly ran toward Director Wang’s office.
Director Wang asked, “Why did you think of asking me to solve the questions?”
Li Man: “Sister Xi isn’t from the Physics Department, right? If she can’t solve this, we can’t either, so we came to look for you. Everyone has their own strengths. Sister Xi is not good at Physics.”
Just as he said this, he saw Director Wang twitch his lips. “Do you know who solved this problem?”
