Chapter 783: Tricks on Old Xu, Final Exam (Two Updates in One)
Xu Kaiqing naturally agreed to this meal with a smile.
I'm worried about inviting him. Wouldn't it be disrespectful if he doesn't go?
He even specifically asked, "Do you want to call me Lao Bi?"
Jiang Fuyue asked back: "What do you think? I'll do as you say."
"Then don't call him! He prefers to eat in Ming University Canteen." Xu Kaiqing's old eyes turned and he immediately responded.
No one can stop him from receiving the favor, even Old Bi has to stand aside!
After class, the two went to the restaurant happily.
Peter was a step too late and caught up with the other professor: "Have you seen Lao Xu?"
"Professor Xu? Didn't he leave a long time ago?"
"Leave? Where to? Not eating dinner?"
"This... I don't know."
Old Peter looked puzzled.
Tonight is destined to be a lonely dinner for him alone.
…
Jiang Fuyue invited Xu Kaiqing to a Western restaurant. The two ate while listening to music and discussing their new topics.
During the meal, Jiang Fuyue asked considerately: "How does it taste? Is the steak overcooked?"
"Not too old, not too old, the heat is just right! It tastes great too!"
Seeing him finish his meal in a few bites, Jiang Fuyue asked again, "Would you like another serving?"
Xu Kaiqing smacked his lips and immediately waved his hand: "No, that's enough."
Jiang Fuyue didn't listen. She snapped her fingers and called the waiter: "Bring another portion according to the old man's taste."
Xu Kaiqing touched his nose and said, "Ahem... I'm so embarrassed."
Jiang Fuyue said seriously, "I think their steaks are too small. How can such a small amount be enough to eat?"
Xu Kaiqing's old eyes suddenly lit up, and he breathed a sigh of relief. "So you think so too? I saw such a big plate and thought it was a special dish. But when I took off the lid, the steak was not even as big as my palm. Although it tastes okay, it can't be so ripped off, right?"
Jiang Fuyue nodded: "That's right!"
Xu Kaiqing was satisfied and waited for the food to be served with a smile.
Soon, the second steak was served, and Jiang Fuyue raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
"Hehe..." Xu Kaiqing picked up his knife and fork and swallowed subtly. "Well... we've already ordered it, so we can't waste it, right? Then I won't be polite!"
Jiang Fuyue smiled slightly: "You're welcome."
Xu Kaiqing felt his neck was a little cold and huddled into his collar.
It’s strange. The window is not open, so where does the wind come from?
…
The meal was harmonious and both the host and the guests enjoyed themselves.
When Jiang Fuyue came back after paying the bill, Xu Kaiqing was leaning back in his chair listening to piano music, with his legs crossed and his hands tapping the rhythm on his legs.
It’s as comfortable as it can be.
Jiang Fuyue sat down and smiled at him: "Old Xu, how was the meal?"
Xu Kaiqing blurted out: "It couldn't be better!"
"Then do me a favor."
"Hmm?" His hands stopped beating the rhythm, and he slowly lowered his crossed legs. Xu Kaiqing sat up straight. "What can I help you with? Tell me first."
The old man is still very cautious.
"It's not difficult, it's very simple, just a word from you."
"That's easy. Just use your mouth. I'm good at this. Go ahead." He waved his hand generously.
Jiang Fuyue's smile grew even brighter. "Well, I recently chose a new research topic. It happens to be in biology, and it's related to viruses."
Xu Kaiqing nodded to show that he was listening carefully.
"Last year, the Shenkwo virus broke out and quickly spread across northern F Continent. It's said this virus is even more contagious than the 'Nova' virus back then. My requirements aren't high. I just want a sample of the Shenkwo virus so I can study it in the lab."
"What did you say? You want a virus sample?!" Xu Kaiqing, who had a calm face, suddenly widened his eyes and almost jumped out of his seat.
Jiang Fuyue nodded.
"Are you aware of the strict restrictions and regulations on virus research in China? Especially for a virus like Shenkewo, which is highly contagious and currently has no effective vaccine, private samples cannot be stored without permission from formal laboratories and research institutes, let alone research!"
"I know all this," she said.
"You knew it, but you still asked me for a virus sample? Are you so bold as to want to die?!"
"I submitted the application last month, but it hasn't been approved yet."
Xu Kaiqing breathed a sigh of relief. "That's more or less okay. But as far as I know, the approval process is very complicated. Even if someone from higher up helps, it will still take time."
Jiang Fuyue nodded: "That's why I want to prepare in advance."
"No matter how prepared you are, you can't collect samples privately! It's illegal!" He lowered his voice and looked around cautiously.
"Besides, I'm a physicist, where can I get this for you?" Xu Kaiqing muttered softly, "Don't be stupid, what if you get caught..."
Jiang Fuyue: "I've checked the relevant laws and regulations. According to the regulations, directly-administered research institutes and key biological laboratories are allowed to conduct virus research. Before approval, my laboratory does not have the relevant qualifications, but Professor Shen's can."
"Which Professor Shen?"
"Shen Wenzhao."
"Hiss—are you targeting Old Shen?"
Jiang Fuyue: “…cough!” What do you mean by staring or not? Don’t say such harsh words!
Xu Kaiqing pondered for a moment, his eyes swept across the empty plate on the table, and then he realized that he had been tricked.
A man who eats someone's food should be grateful, and a man who takes someone's money should be merciful.
It was the Hongmen Banquet itself.
Why can't you control your mouth?
It’s better to eat less!
It’s all this restaurant’s fault. The steak they made was just too much for his taste!
Finally, after Xu Kaiqing calmed down his annoyance and complicated mood, he looked up at Jiang Fuyue again: "...What do you want me to do?"
"It's simple. Recommend me to Professor Shen and let me study in his laboratory for a while."
This way, you can have legitimate access to virus samples.
…
Two days later, Jiang Fuyue received the offer from "Shen Wenzhao Laboratory" as she wished.
In the afternoon, she packed her things and went to Q University next door.
She also met Zhou Zhengqi on the way and greeted him with a smile.
Zhou Zhengqi's eyes showed suspicion and a hint of wariness: "What are you doing?"
Jiang Fuyue didn't hide it and told the truth: "I just received an offer from Professor Shen and came here to report."
"Professor Shen? Mr. Shen?" Zhou Zhengqi was shocked.
Jiang Fuyue nodded: "I applied for the latest laboratory research group."
"Why... did you suddenly think of submitting an application to Mr. Shen?" Zhou Zhengqi forced a smile.
"It's not sudden. I've always wanted to come, but I just didn't have the time."
"When did this happen? Why haven't I heard anything about it?"
"Just a few days ago."
"……oh."
Jiang Fuyue smiled slightly: "Then Principal Zhou, I will go to find Professor Shen first, you are busy."
"Hey! Wait!"
Jiang Fuyue turned around and asked, "Do you have anything else to do?"
"Well... well, I heard that Mingda has hired quite a few outstanding professors and researchers recently."
"That's what happened."
"Look, since Mingda already has sufficient faculty, then..." Stop taking advantage of Qda, okay?
He's almost bald!
Jiang Fuyue said, "It's always a two-way choice between the school and the teacher."
Zhou Zhengqi was anxious, thinking she was going to cause trouble again, and blurted out: "Anyway, you can't kidnap Mr. Shen!"
Seeing that Xu Kaiqing was getting older and older and running to Ming University, Zhou Zhengqi had given up on saving him. Fortunately, the other half of his "half of the country", Mr. Shen, was still there, so Zhou Zhengqi could comfort himself to some extent.
If Jiang Fuyue were to deceive him again, he...would not live!
After hearing this, Jiang Fuyue looked at him twice with an extremely complicated and deep gaze, and finally agreed -
"Okay."
Zhou Zhengqi breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Fuyue sighed helplessly: In order not to irritate this poor little fat sheep... oh, no, the old man, she decided to cover up the news that Shen Wenzhao had come to Mingda to teach!
There's nothing I can do about it. Who made her so respectful to the elderly and loving to the young?
Zhou Zhengqi: "A-choo——"
…
When they arrived at the biology building, Jiang Fuyue found Shen Wenzhao.
"Old Xu said that you asked him to do it?" The old man pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, his eyes scrutinizing.
"Yeah." Jiang Fuyue nodded.
"Why do you want to go into the lab?"
“There’s stuff in there that I want to study.”
As for what...
Jiang Fuyue didn't say anything.
Shen Wenzhao didn't ask either.
But both of them knew it.
"You should know that biological laboratories, especially those related to virus research, pose a huge risk to human health. No one can predict what kind of harm they will cause."
"The unknown is the greatest fear here. Do you think you can handle it?"
The old man had a stern face, a serious expression and a heavy tone throughout the whole process.
It is said that many students who wanted to enter the laboratory were frightened by these words and eventually chose to withdraw.
But Jiang Fuyue is definitely not included——
"Let me put it this way. Back when I was in Linhuai, I accidentally entered the core experimental area of the Historical Biology Laboratory. The BSL was 3, and I even encountered a critical situation where my protective suit was damaged. But now I'm standing here alive and well. Doesn't that explain everything?"
BSL refers to Biosafety Level.
The higher the level, the stronger the protection level and the more dangerous the environment.
After hearing this, even someone as calm as Shen Wenzhao couldn't help but be surprised: "A Yuan actually agreed to let you enter the core experimental area?!"
Jiang Fuyue shrugged.
The old man stared at her in silence for a long moment, his eyes filled with confusion and astonishment, but eventually he calmed down and said, "Go get ready. Go in at three o'clock sharp."
Jiang Fuyue then smiled.
…
Time flies, and the end of the semester is approaching.
At this time in the past, students at Ming University would have already started partying, drinking, and partying to celebrate the upcoming winter vacation; or they would simply skip coming to school and travel abroad.
But this year, Mingda University’s final exams have a completely new look.
A "review craze" swept across the school.
"What subjects did you take?"
"Seven subjects."
"How much review have you done?"
"I've finished four subjects, and there are three left. How about you?"
"I've finished reading it all."
"Huh? So fast? You know all those questions?"
"Won't."
“…”
"Sister Yue said, even if you're not good at doing the test papers, you must look good when turning the pages of a book! Got it?"
"Understand!"
"Sister Yue also said that sharpening a spear before a battle is always better than not sharpening it! At least we're not rusty, right?"
"That makes sense! What else did Sister Yue say?"
"The goddess also said that you should study regularly and predict the questions before the exam. It's better to predict accurately than to study well!"
"...Amazing! A goddess is worthy of being a goddess!"
Jiang Fuyue herself may not know whether she said these words or not.
But it did not prevent it from being widely circulated throughout the school, and then it set off a "review craze".
Not only is the library packed every day, but there are even people who stay up all night reading!
It is said that he is the young master of a branch of a large family. At this time of year in previous years, he would have flown to Xia Island to enjoy the sun.
The news agency contacted him and conducted a brief interview over the phone: "What made you reborn and strive for progress?"
"Because Sister Yue said that every day you don't study is a waste of your life."
As soon as the report came out, everyone quickly took out their notebooks:
Well, I learned another sentence!
…
The review week passed in a flash, and the final exam arrived as scheduled.
Jiang Fuyue signed up for twelve courses this semester, including seven required courses and five elective courses.
In other words, she had to take twelve subjects, even though she had hardly attended classes.
Li Chen: "Is that possible? You're taking the test without even attending class?"
Liang Jingzhou rolled his eyes: "Come on, you might as well worry about yourself instead of worrying about her."
Although they were not as demanding as Jiang Fuyue who had to take twelve subjects, they still had to take seven compulsory subjects.
Gu Huaiyu: "She didn't seem to be there when the teacher gave the test points in the last class?"
Li Chen nodded: "No, I didn't go."
Cheng Lian put his hands in his pockets and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow when he heard this: "What? Are you guys still planning to give the academic genius the exam syllabus? Forget it, he's still in the lab right now and doesn't take the final exam seriously at all."
You are so calm, do you still need an exam outline?
After saying that, he turned and left.
Gu Huaiyu followed: "Old Cheng, wait for me."
Li Chen also followed.
Only Liang Jingzhou was still standing there, looking puzzled. Is there any student in the world who doesn't like teachers marking key points and giving test syllabuses?
That’s not possible!
So that afternoon he ran to the gate of Q to wait for Jiang Fuyue.
I heard that she has been doing experiments here recently.
When the sun sets and night falls, finally—
"Sister Yue!"
"Liang Jingzhou?" Jiang Fuyue paused.
He never knew his name could be called so beautifully.
"What's up?"
"This is for you!" He stuffed a USB drive into her hand.
"This is?"
"The exam scope and key points of the seven required courses are all included here. You're welcome, hehe!"
After saying that, Liang Jingzhou ran away.
When Jiang Fuyue saw the USB flash drive in her hand, she remembered that tomorrow was the first final exam - Calculus!
She wanted to say no, but Liang Jingzhou had already run away.
However, after returning to the dormitory, she still took out the contents of the USB drive and looked at them. Some of them were indeed the key points, but some of them were not that important.
She deleted this part, added some of her own, listed a few example questions, and then sent it back to Liang Jingzhou in an online file.
[I have sorted it out, you can take a look when you have time]
Liang Jingzhou was holding the Calculus textbook and scratching his head. When he saw the file was sent to him, he couldn't help but wonder: I gave it to her, why did she send it back?
I saw the message the next second.
"Tidy it up?" he muttered softly.
How did you organize it?
My finger accidentally touched it, and the file opened immediately, with several questions popping up.
Liang Jingzhou was mesmerized as he read; this was much simpler than the ideas in the book...
The calculus exam started the next day.
Jiang Fuyue handed in his paper and left within a quarter of an hour after entering the room.
Invigilator: “?” I haven’t even sat down yet and she’s gone?
Students in the same examination room: “!” Is this the fear of being dominated by the paper-submitting maniac?
Liang Jingzhou was dumbfounded five minutes after receiving the test paper.
Aren't these the same questions Jiang Fuyue sent him yesterday?! Okay, not exactly the same, because the numbers have changed, but the question types are exactly the same!
Liang Jingzhou quickly started writing.
After more than ten or twenty years of life, this was the first time he experienced what it meant to be at ease and focused in an examination room!
Finally, he handed in the paper on time, with a look of unsatisfied expression on his face.
Li Chen and the others had been waiting for him outside the examination room for quite a while: "What took you so long? Did you oversleep?"
Liang Jingzhou smiled but said nothing.
Gu Huaiyu frowned: "Are you confused in your sleep?"
He continued to laugh.
This left everyone confused.
"What's wrong with you? You're laughing like you're possessed as soon as you leave the exam room?"
"Hehe...I won't tell you!"
For the next few subjects, when Jiang Fuyue was sorting out the materials and questions the day before the exam, he also sent a copy to Liang Jingzhou.
So during the exam days, Liang Jingzhou would run to the library before dawn to reserve a seat and study until very late before returning to the dormitory.
Li Chen, Gu Huaiyu and Cheng Lian all noticed something was wrong, but when they asked him, he said nothing and just kept smiling foolishly.
"Lao Liang's laughter has been giving me the creeps these days."
"It feels like some big conspiracy is brewing."
"There's something wrong with this guy! Very wrong!"
Facts have proved that the three people's premonition was correct. When the final exam results came out, it was not only wrong, but it was simply shocking!
Good luck on the college entrance examination!
