In the silence, the girl from the boy and girl who had helped He Yiming spoke up, biting her lip, "Otherwise, I'll give it a try."
All eyes immediately fell on her, filled with astonishment: "You?"
The girl bit her lip, feeling a little uneasy, but under everyone's gaze, she nodded again: "Mm."
The girl was dressed exquisitely, with her long, smooth, jet-black hair tied up high, leaving only a few wisps of hair at the temples on both sides. Her small, delicate face was pretty and pretty. At this moment, she lowered her eyes and gently bit her lip, looking incredibly well-behaved and quiet.
Even Principal Fang and Dean Mu of the Physics Department couldn't help but soften their gazes. After a moment's consideration, they tentatively asked, "Student Qin, right? How do you want to test it?"
Qin Yanshu raised her eyes, her gaze pure and innocent, and smiled shyly, saying, "Actually, Qin Sheng is my cousin. Although we haven't seen each other for a long time, if the teachers need to, I can try to communicate with her."
"What?! Qin Sheng is actually your cousin?! How come I've never heard you mention her before?!"
Before Principal Fang and the other two could react, the boy on He Yiming's other side exclaimed in surprise, looking at Qin Yanshu with a shocked expression.
The look in their eyes was, well, utterly incredulous.
It was as if it were impossible for Qin Sheng to be her cousin.
Qin Yanshu lowered her eyes, and her right hand, which was holding the book, unconsciously tightened, leaving a few shallow marks on the book cover.
Her face remained obedient and quiet as she explained gently, "Because I live with my mother at my maternal grandfather's house, I haven't been home for a long time, so I haven't seen my cousin."
She raised her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled, "Besides, she's too famous now. If I were to casually say she's my cousin, people would inevitably overthink it. It's just today..."
Qin Yanshu didn't say anything more, but everyone present understood what she meant.
That's true.
Qin Sheng is now very famous in academic, music, gaming and even film and television circles. From school professors to students, at least seven or eight out of ten people have heard of Qin Sheng.
Take Tianhang University for example, many students regard Qin Sheng as their idol. They have even heard that some students pray to Qin Sheng's posters and photos before the exam, hoping to pass.
Under such circumstances, if Qin Yanshu were to publicize her relationship with Qin Sheng, it would definitely attract criticism.
A more mild-mannered person might exclaim, "These cousins have a pretty good relationship!"
But if she encounters someone more sensitive, it might be interpreted as Qin Yanshu using her relationship with Qin Sheng to gain attention.
Without a doubt, the latter is more likely to prevail.
Therefore, keeping quiet is the best choice.
However, it must be said that having such an outstanding cousin requires considerable willpower to refrain from talking about it or publicizing it.
Based on this alone, Principal Fang and Dean Mu couldn't help but think more highly of Qin Yanshu.
This girl has good grades and works hard, but I didn't expect her to have such an outstanding character. Coupled with her privileged family background, her future is limitless!
The two exchanged a glance and nodded slightly.
Finally, Principal Fang spoke up: "This is originally a school matter and shouldn't involve a student like you. But as you know, your teacher has offended someone badly, and it's not something that can be resolved with just an apology or a gift."
"Now, all we can do is let you give it a try."
Qin Yanshu smiled slightly to show her understanding, and said seriously, "I am also a member of Tianhang University. Of course I know how important Professor Fu is to our university. Don't worry, Principal, I will try my best to persuade them as long as there is even the slightest possibility."
Principal Fang was even more pleased, and his smile became more genuine: "Good! He is indeed a good child!"
He patted Qin Yanshu on the shoulder and said gently, "Whether this matter succeeds or not, your teacher will remember your contribution. By the way, I heard Professor He mention before that you want to enter the physics laboratory at Tianjin University, right?"
Qin Yanshu paused for a moment, then smiled shyly: "I would like to, but I'm only a freshman now, and I'm still lacking in many aspects. I'll have to wait at least another year or two before I have the opportunity to participate in the assessment."
Principal Fang smiled and waved his hand, then casually opened a drawer, took out a small card, and handed it to her, saying, "This is an invitation from Tianjin University. There's an extra one. Since you're interested, you can have it."
Qin Yanshu was stunned, forgetting even to reach out and take it: "This..."
He Yiming's eyes flashed, and he took it from her and put it in her arms, saying, "Since it's from the principal, you can keep it."
"Your strength is already quite good. There are still more than two days before the exam. If I give you some special training, you still have a good chance of passing."
Dean Mu nodded and advised, "Your teacher is right. Just accept it. It doesn't matter if you don't pass the exam. Just consider it as gaining experience to prepare for the next time."
Qin Yanshu looked at the three of them, her eyes slightly red, and finally slowly reached out to accept the invitation.
Clutching it tightly in his hands, he solemnly declared, "I will definitely not let my teachers down!"
It refers to both the assessment and the matter of Qin Sheng and Fu Jingheng.
All three nodded in satisfaction.
Principal Fang thought for a moment and asked her, "When are you planning to go? Or should Dean Mu accompany you?"
Fearing she might misunderstand, he explained, "I didn't mean anything by it. I was just worried that you're young and shy, and that there are some things you might find hard to say. Having Dean Mu accompany you means you'll have someone to discuss things with."
Qin Yanshu behaved quite obediently: "Okay, I'll listen to the principal."
As for the time...
Qin Yanshu took out her phone and checked the time: four o'clock in the afternoon.
She thought for a moment and said, "My second uncle's house is in this area, it only takes twenty minutes to walk there. Since we still have time, let's set off now."
Principal Fang was very satisfied and immediately gave Dean Mu a wink: "Then it's decided. You can go now."
The two nodded and left the principal's office.
Another boy nearby hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll go take a look too," and followed after them.
Principal Fang did not stop them.
But when He Yiming couldn't help but want to chase after him, he reached out and stopped him.
Her expression instantly shifted from gloomy to cheerful: "What are you going to do? Do you think Fu Jingheng and Qin Sheng would want to see you?"
"I……"
Principal Fang was already quite dissatisfied with him, and now that everyone had left, he lost even more patience. He waved his hand and said, "Alright, don't worry about this anymore. Go back and rest."
I was going to suggest that he be suspended for a while to reflect on his actions, but then I remembered that Qin Yanshu still needed his guidance, so I swallowed my words and changed my mind and said, "Go back and prepare your lesson plans properly. Take advantage of the two days you still have to help Yanshu fill in any gaps in her knowledge and do your best to help her pass the Level 1 Researcher exam."
He Yiming opened his mouth, but seeing Principal Fang's impatient expression, he didn't dare to say anything more. He gave a mumbled reply and left.
