Chapter 280 She's Not Here to Make Friends
After Lu Youyou "showed off" moderately, she handed over the dominant position to John.
If someone extends an olive branch to her, she is willing to reciprocate the favor and first see how strong her companions are. If that doesn't work out, it won't be too late to "seize power" later.
From the beginning of assigning tasks, John took extra care of Lu Youyou, worried that she was not familiar with group work. Little did he know that she had done no less than a hundred group assignments in her previous life, and she could be their teacher.
"I'm fine, but here is fine... and here..."
Lu Youyou mentioned two points casually, and the main idea came out immediately.
Seeing that the four people quickly started discussing the new topic, Lu Youyou quietly retracted his tentacles and hid his merit and fame.
The right partner, plus just the right lubricant, isn't this the path to god-like success?
If John hadn’t still had some sense, he would have wanted to name their group “god like team”!
The result of the lively conversation was that they discussed from day till dark. Lu Youyou worked overtime on the first day of class and returned to the dormitory after 10 o'clock in the evening.
Song Yunqing hadn't slept yet. She was curled up on the sofa, reading a book and eating an apple. When she heard the noise, she immediately jumped up and ran to the door.
"You're back. Have you eaten? I brought pizza!"
"You've eaten, but you haven't slept yet?"
"It's only ten o'clock, it's still early." Song Yunqing looked at Lu Youyou's face and asked with concern, "How are you today? Are you okay?"
Lu Youyou looked at her roommate with amusement. Song Yunqing was only 19 years old, but she had the expression of an older sister or aunt, with a hint of kindness in her heart, which was particularly interesting.
"Don't worry. I'm fine."
Song Yunqing's expression obviously softened a lot, and she immediately returned to her little sister nature, sticking to Lu Youyou and taking her arm to the sofa.
"Come on, have an apple first. I've washed it." Song Yunqing stuffed a fruit into Lu Youyou's hand and talked about her worries.
"Asian faces are not popular in school, especially Chinese people. I was worried that someone would cause trouble for you. I'm glad you're alright."
Lu Youyou did not mention the blatant isolation in class. She was not there to make friends, and it didn’t matter whether others liked her or not.
In this world where profit is everything, as long as she shows enough value, people will naturally come to her.
She doesn't need to find any revolutionary partners here. It's nothing more than teamwork in scientific research. If she can crush others with strength, there's no need to talk about favors.
Moreover, the ceiling for Asians is so high that it cannot be broken through by using personal connections. It is better to seize the time and move to a higher academic level.
For her, many things can be expanded infinitely once she is exposed to them. Filling her brain with them and then returning home is the ultimate goal.
"Don't worry, I'm not that easy to bully." Lu Youyou said with a smile.
Song Yunqing sighed: "I know you are not a soft-hearted person, but discrimination is everywhere here, both overt and covert. I am an American citizen and have encountered it many times, let alone international students!"
However, the little girl soon smiled again.
"It's okay, it's okay. If you encounter any trouble, just tell me directly. It's no problem for me to help you solve some small problems."
Even if she couldn't solve the problem, she still had her family around. The Song family was still a well-known name in San Francisco, so helping a helpless international student was no problem.
It’s not that Song Yunqing is naive, it’s mainly because some people hit it off at first sight.
Just like her and Lu Youyou, the young lady is beautiful, fragrant, kind, knowledgeable, and can respond calmly no matter what she says.
She had never met anyone of her age who was so compatible with her in her life. Those American girls were no match for Lu Youyou.
After meeting Lu Youyou, she became even more curious about the distant East. What kind of water and soil could produce such a person? She must go and see it if she has the chance in the future!

The beginning of the school year, which should have been difficult, was not a big deal for Lu Youyou.
Firstly, she herself didn't care about the outside world's opinion. Secondly, John and others quickly became her loyal fans, especially Jack with Freckles.
He never believed in love at first sight before, but now he did. As time went by, he felt that he was falling deeply in love.
He even felt that Lu Youyou's brain was more attractive than her appearance.
During the group discussion, she was simply glowing. How could someone have such clear logic and such concise language? Any difficult problem was easily solved by her.
His eyes were increasingly fixed on Lu Youyou.
"Hey, hey!" Alan pushed the dazed Jack and turned his head to follow his gaze. Sure enough, the magical Chinese genius was sitting over there.
The nickname of "Chinese Genius" was given by Allen. Apart from genius, he couldn't think of a second word to describe Lu Youyou. But his desk mate seemed too much of a pervert!
"Hey! You're drooling!"
“Slurp…”
Jack wiped his mouth and found that he was deceived but he was not angry. The direction of his face remained unchanged and he was reluctant to look away.
Alan held his forehead with his hand: "You are hopeless!"
"Yes, I also feel that I am hopeless."
Jack was not ashamed of it, but proud of it.
Allen was really convinced. Seeing the teacher was about to come in, he pushed harder: "Stop looking, class is starting!!!"
Jack was reluctant to look back, but he could only remain calm for three minutes. There was always a voice in his head urging him to take one more look, just one more look.
Professor Hopkins's lectures contain a huge amount of information. Those with a poor foundation will feel that he is talking about incomprehensible things. If their attention is distracted, they will not be able to keep up. Jack used all his willpower to regain his focus.
"Each group will take turns to present on stage, in the order of registration. The first group..."
Since Lu Youyou's name was added last, John's group was ranked last.
Lu Youyou listened to other groups' presentations with ease and evaluated other people's levels.
I can only say that they are worthy of being Stanford students. Those who took the stage basically had something to say and were not stage-frightened. After the speaker finished speaking, others supplemented his speech.
Even the worst ones have their bright spots and are worth seeking out.
John and the other three are fixed partners. John used to be the main speaker. Lucia added that this time John chose to give the main speaker position to Lu Youyou.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to be in the spotlight, but the team members unanimously believe that Lu Youyou’s lecture can get a higher score.
Moreover, he didn't dare to say that he had fully understood the topic. If the professor asked him a question on the spot, he might not be able to answer it.
When Lu Youyou went up to the podium, there was a murmur of discussion in the classroom, and many people looked at John with suspicion.
"No way, did this Chinese woman use some kind of witchcraft to make John lose his mind?"
"Even if John fainted, were the others also knocked unconscious by her?"
"Who knows? Look at Jack's expression. I bet he's attracted to this Chinese guy!"
…
No one understands John and his colleagues’ decision. Aren’t they afraid of causing trouble by letting a Chinese student take office?
Professor Hopkins had not expected this. He looked at the calm Lu Youyou and John and his team with great interest...
Maybe there will be a surprise today?
