Chapter 633: Chapter 633: Classmate Tong Seems to Have Some Poor Awareness Chapter 633: Chapter 633: Classmate Tong Seems to Have Some Poor Awareness Tong Qingyan’s heart was filled with curiosity when a phone call came through, and she became a bit uneasy upon seeing that the caller ID was her counselor.
Her complexion immediately drained to a deep low, remembering how she used to be viewed as a model student by her teachers. Any time they sought her out, it was surely for something good. Now, however, whenever she received a phone call from a counselor or professors, she almost reflexively assumed that something had gone wrong.
And all of this was a “gift” from Bai Chuwei!
Tong Qingyan’s expression was far from the previous warmth she showed her teachers, as she spoke in a flat tone, “Counselor, what can I do for you?”
The counselor exclaimed with delight, “Tong Qingyan, you have such a great relationship with the professors from the mathematics department? They’ve invited you to join them for a conjecture-solving conference; you might be the only student from the finance department!”
The significance of such a conference goes without saying–it’s the kind of experience that looks great on a resume!
On hearing this news, Tong Qingyan was thrilled inwardly!
Attending meetings with the senior professors would surely become something she could boast about to others in the future.
Tong Qingyan was almost subconsciously about to agree when a sudden unease took hold of her heart!
How could this be such a coincidence?
She acknowledged that she was indeed a talented student, but Imperial Capital University was certainly not short on academic prodigies.
How could she, a freshman from the finance department, qualify to attend a conference with the mathematics department, full of renowned professors?
Alert bells were ringing in Tong Qingyan’s mind, and she asked cautiously, “Counselor, may I ask if there are students from other departments participating in this mathematics conference, or is it just me?”
The counselor paused, then remembered, “There are a few doctoral students from the mathematics department who will be there to take notes for the professors, but it seems like there are no students from other departments.”
That fleeting surge of ecstasy in Tong Qingyan’s heart vanished instantly, replaced by a cold, mocking smile on her beautiful face.
Passing roommates were so frightened by her chilling smile that they quickly scampered away. The department’s beauty’s cold laugh was truly frightening.
She had thought she was lucky, noticed by the professors but… huh, it turned out to be just a set-up meant for her. Chapters first released on NoveIꜰire.net
Could a freshman really have such an opportunity?
Tong Qingyan suddenly remembered what Bai Chuwei had said to her before, about making her obediently call her “Professor Bai”!
Seething, Tong Qingyan gripped her phone tightly with a hand filled with unspoken curses, yet she managed to force a smile and found an excuse, “Counselor, I’ve been quite busy with other matters recently. I appreciate the mathematics professors’ kind consideration, but I’m afraid I cannot attend for now.”
They wanted her to participate, and then to call Bai Chuwei “Professor Bai,” right?
Such a beautiful dream they had!
But they were all dreaming!
Tong Qingyan scoffed and decisively hung up the phone.
The counselor stared at the disconnected call in disbelief, completely dumbfounded.
Tong Qingyan… actually declined?
This was an opportunity countless students could only dream of, yet Tong Qingyan declined?
The counselor had assumed she would certainly accept and was at a loss on how to respond to the mathematics department.
“You’re saying that Tong Qingyan has declined to attend the meeting?” The senior mathematics professor was stunned upon hearing this.
This was a mathematical problem that could shake the world. Even if he had a huge grudge against Bai Chuwei, he had immediately apologized to Bai Chuwei.
And Tong Qingyan… chose to decline?
“This student’s understanding seems a bit lacking,” he mused.
