Rong Jun raised his hand and was not in the mood to chat with Zhao Lian. He simply glared at Zhao Lian. “What did you do? How did you convince her to join the Biology department?”


  He was talking to Huo Yao as usual ten minutes ago and had asked her to join the Physics department. She shockingly rejected him officially.

  How could he accept this?

  Rong Jun had his eyes on Huo Yao for over half a year. He kept an eye on her interests when it was time to decide on her future university. Also, he kept trying to build a relationship with her in the hope that she would join the Physics department the moment her college entrance exam results were released. Look what happened now?

  Rong Jun was heartbroken just thinking about the text message he had received from Huo Yao.

  Zhao Lian was stunned. “What do you mean me? I don’t understand what you are implying.”


  Rong Jun inhaled deeply and said angrily, “I am talking about Huo Yao. Do you dare say you had no hand in making her join your faculty?”


  “Oh, her?” Zhao Lian finally realized what Rong Jun was talking about.

  Zhao Lian crossed his arms and said smugly, “She always wanted to join the Biology department. I didn’t even have to ask.”


  “Nonsense. Her Physics is excellent. It would be a pure waste of her talent if she joins your department!” Rong Jun blew up uncontrollably.

  “She is interested in Biology, so she must be equally strong in it. How could this be considered a waste of talent,” said Zhao Lian unhurriedly.

  “Humph. That’s simply because you have never seen her Physics talent,” sneered Rong Jun before a thought crossed his mind and continued. “I thought the Biology department doesn’t accept Arts students? Stop wasting her time already.”


  Zhao Lian glanced at Rong Jun. “I think you got it in reverse. My department certainly isn’t as demanding about student backgrounds as your department.”


  Rong Jun choked instantly.

  “Moreover, our department has always made exceptions and accepted Arts students in the past. What about the Physics department?” asked Zhao Lian, hitting him right where it hurt.

  Rong Jun went quiet.

  Zhao Lian was simply too cocky.

  Rong Jun inhaled deeply before he said, “If she doesn’t go to the Biology department, I will make that exception for her!”


  Zhao Lian dug his ears and said airily, “Sorry. That won’t be happening.”


  Rong Jun went quiet.

  “Fine. You win!” said Rong Jun before leaving in a huff.

  Huo Yao had so much potential. It was impossible for him to give up without a fight!

  Zhao Lian watched from behind as Rong Jun left. He pondered for a minute before taking the lift downstairs.

  He had to remind Qi Hui and get the acceptance letter mailed right away.

  **

  After Huo Yao turned down Rong Jun’s offer to join the Physics department, she surprisingly received a message from Lei Xiao.

  He had kept his eye on the college entrance exam as well. He could not help feeling impressed when he found out that Huo Yao was the top scholar for the Arts division. She was simply an all-rounded genius.

  [When are you coming to the capital?]

  Huo Yao raised her brow and replied: [When school starts, of course.]

  Ever since Lei Xiao fixed the data with her help last year, he got promoted in the research institute.

  He was talking to Huo Yao, sitting in his personal office at this very moment.

  Lei Xiao replied: [Why didn’t you pick Physics or Chemistry? Both these faculties are doing much better. Considering your smarts, either of these faculties would have worked well for you.]

  Lei Xiao felt that typing was slow so he decided to send her an audio message and said: [… If you join the Physics department, you can win a lot of money if you manage to win at the annual academic conference. The government will give you an award directly.]
