Jiang Tianze was stunned. He wondered if he had heard it wrong. His son had always been his pride since he was little. He was also proud of his son for being admitted to the top military academy. But the news that his son was the top student in the class was far beyond his understanding.
"Jiang Yuan is the first place?" Jiang Tianze asked hesitantly and uncertainly in a deep voice.
He Chuan: “Yes!”
Jiang Tianze was stunned, and suddenly thought seriously about a question - was there something wrong with the No. 1 Military Academy's enrollment this year...
Ike whispered a few more words to Jiang Tianze, then turned to look at Jiang Yuan and said, "Jiang Yuan, your father has something to tell you."
Jiang Yuan: “…”
Jiang Yuan picked up the phone, only to hear Jiang Tianze shouting, "Jiang Yuan?"
Jiang Yuan: "It's me, Dad."
Hearing Jiang Yuan's familiar voice, Jiang Tianze was sure that the principal wanted his son to transfer to another department, rather than someone else with the same name.
He knew that Jiang Yuan had made a mecha model at home and read some books on mechanical manufacturing before he went to school, but he never expected that his son would be sought after by two departments and be valued by Xu Chen.
"Dad, I don't want to change my major. You know why I have worked so hard all these years! If you want to persuade me, you don't have to say it." Jiang Yuan said in a deep voice.
Jiang Tianze said: "Of course I know this."
Jiang Tianze recalled the days when Jiang Yuan was at home. He knew how hard his son worked, and those scenes were still vivid in his mind.
Hearing this, Xu Chen became anxious——
"Don't listen to this kid. Jiang Yuan is definitely a natural scientist. He will definitely be able to design one, not countless, main battle mechas in the future!"
Jiang Tianze scratched his head. Who is speaking now? It's not the principal's voice.
"It's right to listen to me! Parents, you must do a good job of convincing Jiang Yuan, he won't listen to me! He is a rare genius! Don't waste this talent!"
"Ahem, but Jiang Yuan has worked so hard for so many years just to get into the mecha department." Jiang Tianze hesitated for a moment, thought about the wording and said in a low voice.
When Xu Chen heard Jiang Tianze's words, he slammed the table and stood up: "This kid is a good scientist! A genius! There are so many people driving mechas, so he is a good choice, but there are only a few who can develop mechas!
"You have to listen to me on this matter!"
Xu Chen gritted his teeth, reached out to snatch the communicator from Jiang Yuan's hand, and yelled at Jiang Tianze who was on the other side of the communicator.
Jiang Tianze was a little confused by the yelling. Who was the person who was speaking...so domineering!
Ike was speechless and snatched the communicator back from Xu Chen. "Old Xu, give me back the communicator. I'm discussing this with the parents. Please don't make trouble here."
Ike understands Xu Chen well. Although he looks old, he actually has the mentality of a child. He is devoted to scientific research, used to being in the lead, and used to others following his will. He speaks in a domineering manner.
When Jiang Tianze heard the name "Old Xu", he finally understood that it was Old Xu who yelled at him! The founding father of mecha!
Ike did Jiang Tianze's work and said a lot, but Jiang Tianze said calmly: "Principal, I am not Jiang Yuan, just his father, I am not qualified to make any decisions for him.
"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do about this."
Jiang Yuan was obviously relieved when he heard Jiang Tianze's words. He found that Jiang Tianze was completely different from the serious and rigid image that the original owner had in mind. Instead, he was an open-minded and respectful father. He would make mistakes, but he would also be brave enough to admit them.
After Jiang Tianze finished speaking, no one spoke on the other end of the communicator for a while, and there was silence. At this moment, someone knocked on the door outside.
Jiang Tianze said hurriedly: "Sorry, I still have work to do, hang up first!"
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Tian stared at the communicator in his hand with confusion in his eyes. What on earth had his son transformed?
"Come in." Jiang Tianze whispered to the people outside.
The soldiers who came in saluted Jiang Tianze and reported their work situation...
On the other side, the office was so quiet that there was no sound at all.
Jiang Yuan pondered for a while, then took a step back and bowed deeply. He was the first to speak: "Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your appreciation, but I want to be a soldier, not a scientist. Sorry."
Jiang Yuan was about to leave, and Xu Chen hurriedly shouted, "Stop right there! Don't leave!"
Jiang Yuan: “…” What does this old man mean?
Jiang Yuan also felt very annoyed at this time, but because of Xu Chen's special identity, he really didn't dare to confront him directly.
Seeing this, Ji Rong immediately stood in front of Jiang Yuan and said bluntly: "Mr. Xu, Jiang Yuan doesn't want to, you are going too far!"
Hearing Ji Rong's words, Xu Chen raised an eyebrow: "You don't understand!"
Ji Rong: "I really don't understand, but you can't restrict Jiang Yuan's personal freedom. You are violating federal law by doing this!"
In the principal's office, the old man's voice of scolding was heard. Ji Rong refuted them one by one, but every word of his rebuttal hit the nail on the head. Xu Chen was really embarrassed.
He Chuan next to him silently gave Ji Rong a thumbs up in his heart, well said!
Jiang Yuan, who was standing by, couldn't help but smile when he saw Ji Rong arguing for him. What a good brother!
Xu Chen: "You you you..."
Ji Rong raised his chin and did not back down at all. Instead, he looked like a proud male peacock who had won.
The old man and the young boy were unwilling to give in to each other, and Principal Ike was getting overwhelmed by the noise.
He slammed the table and stood up. Suddenly, the whole office was silent. No one spoke. They all looked quietly at Ike who stood up and slammed the table.
Ike was silent for a long time, then looked at Jiang Yuan and said in a friendly manner: "Jiang Yuan, how about this, you don't change your major, but minor in the manufacturing department, is that okay?"
Jiang Yuan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. Learning one more manufacturing course would not be a big problem for him, and after reading the book, he already knew everything. Ji Rong offended this big boss for him. What if he was targeted in the future? They were all ambitious young people who came to study, so he couldn't let Ji Rong down.
"Good boy." Seeing Jiang Yuan agreed, Ike smiled and looked at Xu Chen: "Old Xu, are you satisfied with this?"
Xu Chen, who had just argued with Ji Rong until his face turned red, was silent for a moment when he saw Jiang Yuan agreed. He didn't want to push Jiang Yuan too hard. After all, Jiang Yuan didn't want to study the manufacturing department. As long as he experienced the joy of studying in the manufacturing department in the future, he believed that Jiang Yuan would abandon the mecha department!
Xu Chen: "Well, that's fine, but the class schedules of the two majors conflict. The classes of the Mecha Department are nothing more than practicing shooting and fighting, but the Manufacturing Department is different. The classes of the Manufacturing Department are difficult, and you must give priority to the classes of the Manufacturing Department!"
Jiang Yuan stood aside and immediately said, "Mr. Xu, I want to take the mecha department's classes. I can guarantee that I will pass the manufacturing department's classes. Please rest assured."
Xu Chen wanted to say a few more words, but after thinking about it, he nodded. Since Jiang Yuan had guaranteed that he would pass all the manufacturing subjects, there was no need for him to be aggressive.
After solving Xu Chen's problem and waiting for Xu Chen to leave, He Chuan shrugged helplessly and said with a wry smile: "I called you here because I have something to discuss with you."
He Chuan briefly explained the competition and the reason why he had asked Jiang Yuan and Ji Rong to join. After that, He Chuan asked, "Are you willing?"
The two of them didn't think twice and directly answered He Chuan that they were willing!
Just like that, Jiang Yuan came to the office. Not only did he have a bunch of professional courses to learn, but he also had to attend special training in three days. The training time was one month, and the training location was not on Earth, but on a warship!
Jiang Yuan suddenly found that he had a lot of things to do.
After leaving the principal's office, Ji Rong felt like he was dreaming. He had just confronted the national hero Xu Chen, but that was not the point. The point was that Jiang Yuan was almost forced to change his major because the mecha he helped senior Liu Zheng to modify was too excellent!
Looking at Jiang Yuan walking beside him, Ji Rong felt that this was too exaggerated!
Ji Rong found it funny when he recalled the scene where Xu Chen took out his communicator and looked through the contacts to make a call.
Three days later——
A large classroom was packed with people at this time. Even the aisles were filled with people. There were three people sitting in two seats. The whole classroom looked densely packed.
Ji Yang narrowed his eyes. All the students came, regardless of whether they were from their major or not.
Marin whispered, "Oh my god, there are so many people!"
Armand, who was standing next to him, suppressed his excitement and said, "How can there not be a lot of people? Today's lecturer is Mr. Xu!"
A bunch of students from the Mecha Department also came, and several students whispered, "Is it really Professor Xu who is teaching this class? Is he lying? Who can invite Professor Xu?"
"How could this be false? After the class schedule was updated, the teacher's name became Xu Chen!"
"Wait, look over there!"
"What?"
"Over there, all the school teachers are here to listen to the class!"
"Oh my god, she really is a teacher at school, oh my god!"
Five minutes before class started, an old man walked in with a book. The noisy noise in the classroom disappeared instantly. The group of people saluted and stood up in unison!
It’s really Mr. Xu!
Everyone became excited at once, and instantly all of them became fans.
Xu Chen waved his hand downwards twice, asking everyone to sit down. He scanned the dense crowd looking for Jiang Yuan. Finally, he gave up because there were too many people and he couldn't find Jiang Yuan.
Xu Chen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then waited for five minutes. When the bell rang, he said, "Hello, students. My name is Xu Chen, and you can call me Professor Xu."
Everyone: We all know you. You are so cute for introducing yourself in such a serious manner!
Xu Chen: "At the beginning of each class, I will randomly check and call the roll of students who are not present."
Students from the Department of Manufacturing who were attending class: Professor Xu, there is no need for roll call and spot checks in your class, okay?
People who want to take the class for free: The classroom is so crowded... there are still people at the door...!
Xu Chen: “Okay, let’s take the roll call today.
"Chen Jie."
The student who was called stood up immediately, smiling nervously: "Here!"
Xu Chen nodded slightly, "Well, next one, Harris."
"arrive!"
There was another crisp answer. The students around were almost envious. Being called upon by Mr. Xu to answer the question meant that they were the ones who had spoken to Mr. Xu!
After Xu Chen pointed to two people, he called out Jiang Yuan's name, but this time no one stood up immediately.
"Jiang Yuan." Xu Chen called out again, but still no one answered.
Suddenly the whole classroom was silent, and the students from the Manufacturing Department began to exchange glances.
"Is there anyone missing?"
"Everyone is here! Is there anyone named Jiang Yuan in our department?"
"I remember... No! But there is a guy named Jiang Yuan in the Mecha Department."
"Mr. Xu ordered the wrong thing?"
“It shouldn’t be like this!”
"What should we do now? Mr. Xu seems very angry..."
Just as everything was quiet, a voice suddenly rang out, and a tall boy raised his hand, "Here!"
Xu Chen was stunned for a moment, looked at the boy who answered, and raised his eyebrows: "Your name is Jiang Yuan?"
The boy wanted to nod, but he couldn't lie in front of the big guy he admired, so he shook his head.
Xu Chen: "Then why did you answer?"
The boy raised his hand weakly and whispered, "Professor Xu, there is no student named Jiang Yuan in our Manufacturing Department."
Xu Chen smiled slightly and said, "There weren't any before, but there are now. Are there any students from the Mecha Department here?"
Hearing Xu Chen's question, a group of students from the Mecha Department raised their hands in unison. There were more than ninety people, ninety-eight to be exact, except Jiang Yuan and Ji Rong.
Someone shouted in a loud voice: "Professor, we are here!"
Xu Chen asked, "Where's Jiang Yuan?"
The students of the Mecha Department looked confused. Mr. Xu asked Jiang Yuan what he was doing?
But in the end, someone answered: "Professor, Jiang Yuan and Ji Rong were taken away by Instructor He for special training!"
Xu Chen:!!!
