Ye Chen, Su Ningshuang, and Zhao Shuxuan walked together toward the girls' dormitory.
Upon arriving at the girls' dormitory, Ye Chen waited downstairs while Su Ningshuang and Zhao Shuxuan went upstairs to put their things away.
After putting their things in the dormitory, Su Ningshuang and Zhao Shuxuan came downstairs.
The weather was nice today, so the three of them decided to take a walk around the school and then go out for a meal together.
As the three were walking on campus, another couple was walking towards them.
"Ning Shuang, Shu Xuan?"
Upon seeing Su Ningshuang and Zhao Shuxuan, the woman spoke.
"Zhang Ning?"
This girl is Zhang Ning, a classmate of Su Ningshuang and Zhao Shuxuan.
"Is this your boyfriend?"
"No, this is my brother Zhang Taichu."
Zhang Ning explained.
When they met up, the girls started chatting.
"Have you heard? Shanghai University is going to organize a group of exchange students with our school."
Zhang Ning said mysteriously.
Exchange students, or more formally, inter-school student exchange programs.
Simply put, it involves universities organizing groups of students to study and exchange ideas at other universities.
Generally, exchange programs last for one year or one semester.
"What?"
"Is that so?"
Zhao Shuxuan and Su Ningshuang were very surprised as they were hearing about this for the first time.
Shanghai University is significantly stronger than Jiangzhou University.
If there were a real opportunity to study at a university in Shanghai, many people would probably be vying for it.
At that time, the competition will be extremely fierce.
"Zhang Ning, how did you hear about this?"
Zhao Shuxuan couldn't help but ask.
"Hehe, my brother is from Shanghai University, and he's about to become an associate professor there."
Upon hearing Zhao Shuxuan's question, Zhang Ning answered with immense pride.
"What, an associate professor?"
"How old is your brother?"
Zhang Ning's older brother, Zhang Tai, only looks a few years older than Zhang Ning.
In Zhao Shuxuan's subconscious, associate professors are generally people in their thirties or close to forty.
"My brother is 26 years old, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will become an associate professor at Shanghai University this year."
"Back then, my brother was the youngest associate professor at Shanghai University."
Zhang Ning said smugly.
Having an older brother who is an associate professor would be really great.
"A 26-year-old associate professor, my God!"
Zhao Shuxuan and Su Ningshuang were both very surprised.
Most people are probably still pursuing their doctoral studies at the age of 26.
Normally, one needs to be around thirty-five years old to become an associate professor.
Becoming an associate professor at the age of 26 is absolutely remarkable; truly a young and promising individual.
Even on a national scale, it ranks among the top.
"Ningning, keep a low profile, keep a low profile."
Zhang Tai spoke up, but his face showed no sign of modesty.
Zhang Taichu was somewhat arrogant, thinking he was about to become an associate professor at such a young age.
"Shuxuan, Ningshuang, you two have a very good chance of being selected as exchange students to study at Shanghai University."
Zhang Ning said earnestly.
In the class, Su Ningshuang and Zhao Shuxuan ranked first and second, respectively, and both had excellent grades.
Su Ningshuang, in particular, has won numerous awards in various competitions.
Ye Chen had been to Su Ningshuang's boudoir and seen a shelf full of certificates, trophies, and the like.
When Ye Chen first saw her, he was utterly astonished and completely stunned.
Is there a good chance of being selected?
Su Ningshuang and Zhao Shuxuan were stunned by Zhang Ning's words.
This happened so suddenly, they haven't had time to process it yet.
Is there really such a plan?
Su Ningshuang asked in confusion.
"I just happened to overhear a leader mention it casually, and I can't say for sure whether it's true or not."
Zhang Taichu shrugged.
Although he is about to become the youngest associate professor at Shanghai University, he is still not qualified to be involved in such a big event.
“Ning Shuang, sister, if you want to know, I can go and ask.”
Seeing how curious Su Ningshuang and her older sister were, Ye Chen calmly spoke up.
Previously, after witnessing Ye Chen's calligraphy and painting skills, Professor Meng invited Ye Chen to become a specially appointed professor at the School of Art of Shanghai University, and he has been in frequent contact with him recently.
Ye Chen learned from Professor Chen that Old Meng's status at Shanghai University was extraordinary, and many of the university's leaders were his students.
Exchange students—that's not a secret. If Ye Chen asks, Elder Meng should know something about it.
"Hey bro, do you know any leaders at Shanghai University?"
Zhao Shuxuan turned to look at Ye Chen.
The others all turned their attention to Ye Chen.
"Yes, I know an old professor at Shanghai University. This professor often contacts me."
Ye Chen nodded.
"Pshaw, what's the use of knowing an old professor at Shanghai University? This kind of thing is not something a professor would know."
Zhang Tai dismissed Ye Chen's answer with disdain.
"I think this old professor should know something."
Ye Chen replied.
"Hehe, how could that be? Tell me, which professor from Shanghai University do you know?"
Zhang Tai didn't believe Ye Chen's words.
"Professor Meng Jingguo."
"Meng Jingguo, why does that name sound so familiar?"
Zhang Tai muttered to himself, the more he thought about it, the more familiar it seemed.
"Wait, isn't that Old Meng's name? You know Old Meng?"
After thinking for a while, Zhang Tai suddenly realized and asked Ye Chen in utter astonishment.
"yes."
Ye Chen nodded.
"Impossible. Who is Old Meng? Why would he contact you?"
