Chapter 635: Chapter 635: Tong Qingyan Becomes a Historical Villain Whom Everyone Wants to Punish? Chapter 635: Chapter 635: Tong Qingyan Becomes a Historical Villain Whom Everyone Wants to Punish? “Tong student, you’re finally here. Quickly call Bai Chuwei ‘Professor Bai.'”
Tong Qingyan’s face was tight with tension, and her eyelashes trembled uncontrollably. Why should she!
Why should she call Bai Chuwei ‘Professor Bai’?
Clearly, they were both first-year students of the same age; saying ‘Professor Bai’ would mean that she would forever be ranked below Bai Chuwei within the university.
If her tone were anything less than respectful, it would be seen as lacking the principle of ‘respecting one’s teacher and valuing the Way.’
Although Imperial University’s management was relaxed, it held respect for teachers in high regard. If she were to address her as such, she would be digging herself a huge hole for the future!
Tong Qingyan bit her lip hard, stood rooted to the spot, and refused to say a word.
An elderly lady with a kindly face said with a smile, “I heard you and Bai Chuwei have some history? I know about it, you hacked into the forum and wrongly accused Bai. She doesn’t hold it against you now.”
Tong Qingyan nearly choked with fury. Bai Chuwei not holding grudges against her?
This woman was vindictive. She’d hacked the forum and trapped her, and Bai Chuwei turned around and ruined her chances of advancing in “Super Brain Scholar,” ending her route into the entertainment industry. What could Bai Chuwei possibly use to compensate her?
“Tong student, this is not a time for pride or ego. You should know that Bai Chuwei’s guidance could very well point all of us in the right direction towards an answer! Considering her mathematical achievements, calling her ‘Professor Bai’ is not a loss for you,” Professor Huang Ren urged earnestly.
Tong Qingyan clenched her palms so hard that her nails dug into her skin, and tears swirled in her eyes.
She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, and for the eighteen years before, she had lived a smooth and error-free life. However, since Bai Chuwei’s arrival, she had begun to encounter nothing but bad luck.
Her aunt’s hopes to marry Duan Xiuqi had been dashed.
Their Tong Family had gone bankrupt.
Even at university, she had to be suppressed by Bai Chuwei?
Tong Qingyan, possessing the tenacity typical of novel heroines, pinched her palm and managed a strained smile. “Let’s discuss it again when the official professorship approval comes through.”
The official approval would take at least three months!
The old professors present could no longer sit still. Three months?
They couldn’t even wait one day!
Bai Chuwei had been watching the drama unfold and lightly pinched her neck with her jade-like fingers, smiling ambiguously. “Well, if there is nothing else, I’ll be leaving. I have another class this afternoon.”
Bai Chuwei was leaving!
All the old professors stood up in unison, nearly rushing forward to hold her back and plead for her not to go.
An old professor known for his short temper couldn’t stand it anymore and bellowed at Tong Qingyan, “I have never seen a student like you! Teachers are valued for their knowledge, not just a teaching certificate.”
“Tong Qingyan, if this mathematical conjecture becomes as mysterious as the unsolved Chen’s Conjecture, lasting for centuries, you will be the culprit. You should know the significant leap in mathematics that solving one conjecture can represent. Mathematics is the foundation of all science. You would be the criminal!”
Another professor, who had been up for several nights, staggered with weak footsteps. “I wonder if I will die suddenly one night because of this mathematical conjecture.”

Tong Qingyan had never experienced being besieged by a group of teachers in her life. One after another, mathematicians with considerable influence in China’s mathematical community, their every word was like a spit that nearly drowned her.
Was she to become a historical villain?
Tong Qingyan shivered deeply. She had never thought of leaving a mark on history, but if she were to be remembered at all, as a figure whom everyone reviled…
Bai Chuwei carried a book, leisurely walking towards the exit of the auditorium. As she reached the door, a weak voice carrying a sobbing tone suddenly called out from behind, “Bai, Professor Bai.”
