Chapter 35 Is this your level?

Jiang Haozhe seemed to have guessed her thoughts, and his gentle voice sounded again.

"Yaoyao, it's not safe for you to take a taxi when you go out, and I'm worried about it too. You definitely need a car for convenience.

You are the little princess of our Jiang family. You should be the one who is loved by everyone and do not need to bear any burdens."

Jiang Yao's heart was instantly filled with warmth, and he felt both sad and happy.

"Thank you, uncle. I like this gift very much."

In the end, she did not refuse her uncle's kindness.

However, it would take some time for the car to be delivered, so the next day, Jiang Yao still went out on foot.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I came out of the gate, I met a slender figure.

Li Beiting was seen walking out of the villa opposite.

There was a car parked at the door, and his assistant was standing by, opening the door for him.

So, he lives across the street?

How come Jiang Yao had never noticed it before!

But the surprise lasted only a moment, and she collected her thoughts.

Unexpectedly, Li Beiting actually took the initiative to speak this time: "Good morning, are you going to school?"

Jiang Yao simply responded and nodded slightly to him, "Good morning, senior!"

Then he turned and left.

Not even a few more words.

The assistant standing by saw Li Beiting being treated coldly for the first time and was stunned for a moment.

In the entire academy and even in the family, Li Beiting is like a star surrounded by people. Even though he is always unkind, everyone is trying their best to talk to him.

This picture is so interesting.

He laughed in his heart, but only Li Beiting got into the car with a dark face. He glanced at his expression of trying to suppress a smile and felt inexplicably annoyed.

"What are you doing? Why don't you drive?"

The assistant quickly withdrew his thoughts.

"Okay."

On Jiang Yao's side, half an hour later, he arrived at the research institute smoothly and met all the members of his research group.

There are four graduate students in total, two men and two women.

"Hello, senior. My name is Lian Yingying. I've heard that you're the teacher's favorite genius student. I've learned all about your glorious deeds. I'm so happy to be able to work with you on this project."

Lian Yingying is petite and has a cute baby face. Her eyes sparkle when she looks at her, and you can tell at first glance that she has a simple and straightforward personality.

Jiang Yao also had a good impression of her, "I'm glad to meet you, Yingying too."

Another round-faced, slightly plump boy also took the initiative to speak.

"I'm Bi Siyuan, the leader of this group. Everyone calls me Brother Yuan. Please give me your guidance."

"Hello, Brother Yuan."

"Ning Sheng." The boy standing next to him was thin, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses. He seemed rather taciturn. He only introduced his name and didn't say anything else.

Jiang Yao didn't mind either.

The last one was a tall girl with exquisite clothes. When she lifted her hair, the bracelet on her hand was revealed. Jiang Yao recognized it as a limited edition of a certain brand at a glance.

"Yuan Xinchang, I was admitted as a graduate student under the professor's tutelage a year ago. So far, I've worked on three projects and have a lot of experience. Jiang has graduated so long ago, so I'm joining the group this time. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

She seemed to be well-intentioned, but the pride in her eyes was hard to conceal.

Jiang Yao was not good at dealing with this type of thing, so he simply replied with a thank you.

Yuan Xinchang frowned in dissatisfaction, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes when he saw her like that.

Fortunately, Lian Yingying is a simple and cheerful person who is very good at livening up the atmosphere. She took the initiative to bring up some topics. Bi Siyuan also mentioned some content about the project, and Jiang Yao quickly integrated into it.

In just half an hour, everyone got along quite well.

"You've pretty much learned about this topic, right? We need to get the first set of data quickly, so let's go to the lab together!"

Bi Siyuan is like the big brother of this team. What he says is reasonable and well-founded, and everyone listens to him very much.

Everyone stood up.

"Then let's go."

Jiang Yao also followed them to the laboratory.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at the door, I met another familiar person.

"Hey, Jiang Yao, I didn't expect you to be so lucky and actually get into the research institute."

Li Ming looked at her with a mocking expression, but he was very indignant in his heart.

He originally thought that once Jiang Yao was expelled from school, he could use threats and bribes to force her to give up her dignity and become his property.

As a result, the plan fell through.

Before Jiang Yao could say anything, Lian Yingying retorted without any hesitation.

"I think you're so lucky to be chosen to stay in school. I don't know what your instructor sees in you."

When Li Ming heard that he was being questioned, his face suddenly turned ugly and he said unconvincedly.

"Of course the instructor is impressed by my abilities! I was the first one to arrive at this lab, so you two should get out of the way."

"Why? We were here first."

Lian Yingying puffed up her face unhappily.

Bi Siyuan also frowned in dissatisfaction.

Li Ming crossed his arms and raised his chin arrogantly.

"Just because I joined Professor Xue's research group!"

Jiang Yao's eyelids twitched.

Professor Xue?

Is it Xue Haiquan?

She remembered that this professor was about the same age as Shi Ruishan and was his competitor.

No, to be precise, that is the old man’s mortal enemy!

I didn't expect Li Ming to be his student.

"You know, Professor Xue is a very popular figure in the school right now. Because he is not pretentious or arrogant, he has won so many benefits for the school!"

While Li Ming praised Xue Haiquan, he also implicitly criticized Shi Ruishan.

Jiang Yao and the others all looked unhappy now.

"Do you know how high Professor Xue's academic achievements are? Do you know how many of his papers are published in top-tier journals every year? Do you understand the value of this?"

Li Ming continued to press forward and said sarcastically.

"Oh, I forgot. Your Professor Shi hasn't made any breakthroughs in years. He's still relying on the knowledge he gained from the past two years. How pathetic!"

"You--" Lian Yingying's eyes turned red with anger when she heard her mentor being slandered like this, and she was about to scold him.

But the next second, Jiang Yao grabbed the corner of her clothes, took a step forward and said casually.

"Since your instructor is so amazing, then you, as a student, must be no worse than him!"

"Of course!" Li Ming's face was full of arrogance and complacency.

"Then I'd like to ask you a few questions."

Jiang Yao suddenly changed the subject, not giving him a chance to refuse, staring at him sharply.

"What is the difference between CM material and HY material?"

Li Ming was choked by the question and swallowed before answering.

"How would I know about this kind of difficulty?"

Jiang Yao then asked, "Then keep it simple. Could you give me some examples of parts used in machinery manufacturing? What are they?"

“…”

Cold sweat broke out on Li Ming's forehead, but he still couldn't answer.

Jiang Yao pursued him relentlessly.

"What should I do if parts are damaged during the machinery manufacturing process..."

Li Ming spent a long time thinking about three academic questions in a row, but he couldn't answer any of them.

With a "puff", Jiang Yao's laughter rang out.

"So, this is all you can do? How dare you brag in front of us?"
