In a blink of an eye, it was already half past six.

At this time, on the other side of Kyoto.

After finishing his work in the laboratory, Professor Xu went home, picked up four bottles of old wine, and rode his bicycle to Principal Zhou's house.

When Principal Zhou opened the door, he saw Professor Xu with a big smile on his face, then he looked down at the four bottles of old wine in his hands.

The corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

It's only been one day, and General Lin has already subdued Old Xu?

He stepped aside to let someone in.

Professor Xu happily entered the courtyard and said in a resonant voice, as if he had lost his memory: "Old Zhou, I'm here to thank you. Thank you for finding such a talented student for the laboratory."

"Mr. Lin, I am very satisfied."

Principal Zhou: “…”

Satisfied with your grandma's legs.

Yesterday, he was full of disgust.

He said enviously, "If you treat Lin well, maybe she can help you complete a few more major research projects before you retire."

Professor Xu put down his drink, put his hands behind his back and turned his head in confusion.

"Hey, Lao Zhou, you're so sure of Lin's abilities, so how did you find this student?"

Principal Zhou calmly poured a cup of tea and raised his eyebrows. "When I went to deliver the admission letter, Lin asked to join the medical school laboratory."

Professor Xu paced back and forth in front of the stone table with his beard pouting, thinking about these words.

Suddenly, he stopped and looked at Principal Zhou with burning eyes.

Principal Zhou panicked and subconsciously took a half step back.

Then I heard my old friend say in a sinister voice:

"Old Zhou, something's wrong with you. Even if Lin ranked first in the country, you wouldn't have made an exception and let her into the lab. You even tempted me with research funding, and you promised Lin she could take leave at any time. This isn't your style."

"I remember a couple of years ago, there was a student who was the child of some leader and wanted to join your research lab, but you didn't agree. Do you think I'm old and easy to fool?"

Being repeatedly questioned by his old friend, Principal Zhou raised his eyebrows and shouted, "What did I lie to you about? I lied to you. I just thought that Student Lin was very qualified and was afraid that you would not agree, so I said to increase the research funding. I did it for the good of the school."

"Um?"

Professor Xu saw that Principal Zhou seemed a little guilty, so he narrowed his eyes and approached step by step.

"I don't believe you made an exception and agreed to so many terms just because Lin is so qualified."

Principal Zhou was forced to retreat again and again.

I broke out in a cold sweat.

Isn’t it said that all researchers are blockheads?

How can this mind be so flexible?

He thought he had done it very secretly. At least General Lin had graduated and no one would doubt her identity.

"Old Xu, there are some things that won't do you any good if you know them."

When Professor Xu heard this, he knew that he was only one step away from defeating his old friend.

He smiled and said, "I'm old enough not to be afraid of anything. I just want to know why you treat Lin so specially. If you tell me, I won't tell anyone."

"Boom~"

Principal Zhou was backed into a corner.

He waved his hands and said, "Buddha said it cannot be said, it cannot be said."

"Even if you kill me with your sword, I can't say anything."

Professor Xu looked at his old friend with a panic-stricken face and thought to himself, what a fool! His words were exposed.

He quietly speculated, "Does Lin's family have a very powerful background? Or is her status so strong that she doesn't reveal it to the public?"

Principal Zhou's face turned pale.

The man almost ascended to heaven.

“Knock knock knock…”

There was a knock on the door.

Principal Zhou hurried to the door, thinking that the savior had arrived at the right time.

As soon as the door was opened, Principal Zhou was standing there.

He asked in a bad tone, "Professor Yu, what are you doing here so late at night?"

Professor Yu’s smile froze.

He hurriedly explained, "Old Zhou, I'm not here to eat for free. I've already eaten at home. I'm here to ask about the background of that classmate Lin."

Principal Zhou: “…”
