Chapter 271 How do I know you're not lying to me?

But it's okay. It's never too late to admit your mistakes and improve. Now that they know they don't understand Lin Xiaotao, they can get to know her in every way and then develop a plan that is absolutely perfect for her.

However, this is something he can't do alone; it would be too tiring for him. All the professors should come together.

Anyway, it wasn't just his fault; everyone was at fault. As for feelings of guilt and regret, he shouldn't be the only one to feel them.

It's all a team effort, so why should he be the only one with a heavy burden?

This burden needs to be shared, and everyone should shoulder it together.

I am most afraid of the sudden silence in the air.

The professors were all incredibly quiet.

Finally, someone spoke up: "You mean, Lin Xiaotao didn't do the homework we assigned seriously?"

Professor Song nodded reservedly: "You could say that."

“I knew that prodigies are different from ordinary people. The amount of homework we assign is just right for ordinary geniuses, but prodigies definitely won’t think so. No, I have to ask Lin Xiaotao about this.”

"Why ask? We just need to make the arrangements," Professor Song said, stopping the person.

"You, do you have some kind of crooked idea?" Someone squinted at him.

"What nonsense! That's just cleverness. Since we don't know Lin Xiaotao, let's use our studies to test her intelligence."

How to test the waters?

"Come here."

Then a group of professors gathered together and started babbling on and on...

As for what exactly they were rambling about, only the professors gathered around knew. Lin Xiaotao had no idea. Right now, she was happily pulling Xiao Peichuan to sit with her, then contentedly flipping through her textbook. After reading it, she started doing practice problems, chatting with Xiao Peichuan while doing them. She was completely relaxed and carefree.

So, before the professor could even come up with a result, Lin Xiaotao had already finished her assignment.

This was the first time Xiao Pei-chuan had seen his partner like this, and he couldn't help but ask, "You've mastered it all?"

Little Peach Blossom said happily, "Yes, they're all very simple."

Even though Xiao Peichuan knew how capable his partner was, he was still somewhat shocked this time. This was even more impressive than just capable.

He couldn't help but touch his face, and made up his mind that he would take good care of his face no matter what in the future.

You should know that his girlfriend fell in love with him at first sight, and it was entirely because of his face.

If you can't compete with genius, then you can only focus on other things, especially the places that Little Peach Blossom likes the most.

Having made up his mind, Xiao Peichuan chatted with Xiao Taohua with a smile. As for his studies and textbooks, oh, they had already been placed in a corner.

Without having to wait for get out of class to end or dawdle at school, Xiao Taohua's pace naturally quickened.

Professor Song still didn't know this. If he did, he would probably be spitting blood. Just how little did he understand his student?

Fortunately, we don't know yet, otherwise Professor Song would be devastated.

He continued discussing the details of Lin Xiaotao's case with the other professors.

In this harmonious yet tense atmosphere, several people were standing in front of them, discussing Professor Wu's grandson, whom the professors were discussing.

Okay, everyone's here: Li Zhen, Song Yi, and Lin Xiaoguang.

So why weren't these people in front of Little Peach Blossom today? Well, they're right here.

"You say you're willing to cooperate with me?" Professor Wu's grandson, Wu Shih-hao, looked at the group, his gaze finally settling on Li Zhen.

“Yes, if you would like.” Li Zhen nodded.

"Why should I agree? I don't even know you." Wu Shih-hao's words were anything but polite.

Of course, he also had the right to be impolite, because he genuinely didn't know these people.

However, Li Zhen didn't mind.

Just because we don't know each other now doesn't mean we won't know each other in the future.

“I know you want to go to the South, and I also know that Professor Wu doesn’t want you to go.”

Wu Shih-hao's expression didn't change at all: "Everyone knows about this." Even the fact that the grandfather and grandson had quarreled and that Professor Wu was so angry that he got angry was known to everyone.

"Let's introduce ourselves first. I'm Li Zhen, this is Song Yi, and this is Lin Xiaoguang. We are all students at Peking University."

"Oh." Wu Shih-hao didn't seem to care much. His grandfather was a professor at Peking University.

"What I mean by cooperating with you is providing you with the necessary assistance to go south. Of course, we can't provide this assistance for free. As I said before, we'll cooperate and sign a contract. We can also give you the capital for the cooperation. You're probably short of funds right now, aren't you?"

How do I know you're not lying to me?

“What benefit would we get from lying to you? We’re giving you money and connections. If anyone’s been lied to, it’s us who were lied to.”

That makes some sense, but: "Aren't you going yourselves?"

"Didn't I say we're students at Peking University? Do you think we should give up our studies and go south with you?"

"Well, I can't give up my studies."

"So we're here to collaborate with you. Of course, if you don't trust our identities, you can have Professor Wu be a witness. We'll also try to persuade Professor Wu that with our help, he can't completely refuse your trip to the South. So, how about we collaborate?"

"You'll give me all the money?"

"certainly."

"Alright, I can trust you for now, but let's wait until I've met my grandfather."

"We're fine."

"You represent the other two?" Wu Shih-hao looked at Song Yi and Lin Xiao-guang.

“Of course, it can be represented.” Li Zhen nodded confidently.

Seeing Song Yi and Lin Xiaoguang nod, Wu Shih-hao said, "Alright, let's go see Grandpa now."

Seeing how decisive and efficient the other party was, Li Zhen was not surprised at all. After all, if someone who thought of going to the south to make a name for themselves didn't have this kind of decisive and efficient spirit, they wouldn't dare to come to him for cooperation.

Actually, it would be better if they did it themselves, but they still have to focus on their studies for now, and Xiao Taohua is still here, so they won't put the cart before the horse.

Money can be earned anytime, but important people can't always be with you.

Besides, enough money is enough.

As for why I want to make money, I just feel it's a good opportunity, and it would be a pity to miss it.

Although collaborating with others may not earn as much as working alone, at least you don't have to worry about them.

This alone made Li Zhen and his group very satisfied.

As for their previous decision to go to the south during the summer vacation, did they make that decision? No.

During summer vacation, Xiao Taohua will be taking Xiao Peichuan home. They have to go with her, no matter what. Even if Xiao Taohua goes to Xiao Peichuan's house, they have to go with her at all times to make sure that Xiao Taohua is safe.

Moreover, for such a significant event as meeting the parents, the woman's side must always have someone present, regardless of the circumstances.

We can't let the man's people bully us.

In summary, collaborating with others is the most cost-effective approach.

Wu Shih-hao would be a very good choice as a collaborator.

So when they followed Wu Shih-hao to Professor Wu's place, they used all sorts of persuasive tactics until they finally convinced Professor Wu.

Wu Shih-hao: ...
