In order to transfer Zhong Wanwan over and recruit her as his graduate student, Professor Wu did not hesitate to threaten Professor Ming.
If it weren't so contrary to the norm, Professor Wu wouldn't have said he was recruiting master's students, but rather doctoral students.
Since they haven't achieved anything yet, they can only make do with Wanwan for now. As soon as the two of them make some progress, he will immediately apply for a doctoral program for Wanwan!
Why can't they skip a grade right away? They have the ability, why do we have to restrict them?
Old Master Ming was unaware that he was about to face another major problem.
At this moment, Old Ming was in a difficult position. He really didn't expect that his old friend, who used to be so gentle and refined, would become so difficult to deal with after not seeing him for several years.
Seeing that Elder Ming wouldn't agree, Elder Wu turned and left.
"Okay, it seems Tsinghua University doesn't really need me. I'll go back and contact other people. I think Aerospace University is also good. Old Li is easier to talk to than you. I'll go to Aerospace University!"
When Ming Lao heard that he was going to the Aerospace University, he thought, "How can that be allowed? I went to great lengths to bring my old friend back ahead of time. How can I let him benefit the Aerospace University?" He gritted his teeth and said:
"Alright, I'll recruit your student. But her academic ability isn't up to you. I have to pass her evaluation before I can make an exception and let her become your graduate student!"
Old Wu beamed with joy:
“Taking exams isn’t something I should do. My student is waiting downstairs. I brought her here to find you!”
If he had known this old guy would agree, he would have called the people over in advance!
Ming Laoqi laughed:
"You've already called everyone here, why aren't you bringing them in? What are you doing here arguing with me?"
Old Wu is overprotective of his own:
"What if I bring them here directly, and you give my students a hard time? Do you think it's easy for me to find a few satisfactory apprentices?"
Old Wu walked happily to the window and gestured to Zhong Wanwan, telling her to come up quickly.
Zhong Wanwan entered Elder Ming's office somewhat nervously:
"Mr. Ming, I'm so sorry to have troubled you!"
Facing a young woman, Old Master Ming couldn't show any displeasure, so he said kindly:
"Sit down. Old Wu already told me that you are very talented and do very well in your studies. However, it is not in accordance with the rules to go directly to his graduate program without having gone to university. I still have to test you. Do you have the confidence to pass my entrance exam?"
No matter how nervous she was, Zhong Wanwan couldn't show any weakness at this moment; her eyes remained firm.
"I am the teacher's student, and I have confidence in the teacher's teaching!"
Old Master Ming's expression softened further. This child was sensible and tactful, not aloof and quite articulate. He didn't seem like his old friend's apprentice, but rather like someone he had taught. Old Master Ming nodded.
"As long as you have confidence, that's fine. I have a few questions here; please briefly share your insights!"
Mr. Ming took out several topics from the graduate thesis section of the college entrance examination a few years ago, before the college entrance examination was abolished, and asked Zhong Wanwan to share her thoughts.
After careful consideration, Zhong Wanwan combined the knowledge she learned from Master Wu with her modern perspective to provide an answer.
With each question Zhong Wanwan answered, Elder Ming's expression softened. By the time Zhong Wanwan finished answering, Elder Ming had come to agree with Elder Wu's point of view. With such knowledge, going to university step by step would be a real waste of time!
Seeing Wu Lao's nervous expression, Ming Lao joked:
"You have a great grasp of the knowledge and insightful views. I also see that you have some understanding of materials science. Have you considered developing your career in this area?"
Before Zhong Wanwan could even speak, Old Wu exploded in anger:
"Hey Ming, what do you mean? I finally managed to plant these peach trees, and they were just about to bear fruit, and you come here to pick them? Don't you have any shame?"
Mr. Ming was very serious:
"How can this be considered reaping the benefits? Comrade Zhong has his own unique insights into materials science, and he is very suitable to study materials!"
Old Wu stood in front of Zhong Wanwan:
"You, surnamed Ming, don't even think about it. He's one of my two closed-door disciples, and I'm not giving him to you!"
"If there's nothing else, hurry up and get the child enrolled in school. Don't delay me from working on the textbook with the child!"
The reason why Wu Lao was in a hurry to call Zhong Wanwan back was because the previous teaching materials were completely unusable, and he wanted to work with Zhong Wanwan to create new teaching materials.
Professor Wu highly valued the progressiveness of Zhong Wanwan's ideas. He believed that incorporating Zhong Wanwan's ideas into the textbooks would definitely help promote the development of the discipline!
Zhong Wanwan also politely declined Mr. Ming's offer:
"I only have a superficial understanding of materials, and I don't have any talent in this area, so I won't cause you any trouble!"
