What was supposed to be a plan that would kill three birds with one stone turned out to be terrible, far worse than Qin Yanshu and Mu Ji had imagined.
Before they could even recover from the shock of being disqualified from the assessment by the Tianjin University Nuclear Physics Laboratory, a phone call came into Mu Ji's cell phone.
It was Feng Shizhang.
As deans of the School of Biology and Physics at Tianjin University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Feng Shizhang and Mu Ji were naturally acquainted, and because they were close in age and got along well, their relationship had always been good.
As soon as the call connected, Feng Shizhang said urgently, "I remember you mentioned before that there's a student in your department who's related to Qin Sheng, right? Which student is it? Could you introduce me to her? I have something I'd like to ask her for help with."
They directly used the word "求" (to ask for).
Mu Ji subconsciously turned to look at Qin Yanshu, but his heart sank slightly: "What happened?"
Feng Shizhang was so anxious his voice was almost burning, but since he needed his help, he could only patiently explain, "Do you remember Wang Lingfei? She's the outstanding freshman I mentioned to you. She passed the assessment in the biological gene laboratory."
This was the only good news among a lot of bad news. Although she wasn't a student in his own college, Mu Ji couldn't help but feel happy: "This girl is quite good."
It's indeed quite good, but...
Feng Shizhang gave a wry smile and continued, "I also thought it was good, and then I got carried away and wanted to take the opportunity to boost the reputation of our Tianhang University, so... so I provoked Song Yi a few times..."
Feng Shizhang's voice became even more anxious as he quickly said, "Didn't everyone say that Qin Sheng was Song Yi's disciple? I was thinking that since Qin Sheng was dual-cultivating psychology and materials science, even if Song Yi was guiding her, she wouldn't have that much time to study. She probably wouldn't pass the assessment anyway, so I said a few more words. Who knew that girl wasn't even human? Do you know what she did?!"
Mu Ji's heart skipped a beat: "What?"
"In just one morning, she passed all six levels of the biological gene laboratory assessment in one go and became a level six laboratory technician!"
That's not all; they were incredibly lucky that day and recruited a prodigy.
The key point is: "She is not Song Yi's disciple at all, but Dean Wei's disciple from the First Experimental Base!"
"I don't know what happened to Dean Wei, but he got angry just because I said that Qin Sheng was Song Yi's disciple."
“You know, my biggest dream is to enter the First Experimental Base, but given the current situation…” Feng Shizhang was very troubled and stopped talking about it, bringing the topic back to the present, “Your student is named Qin Yanshu, right? I remember she also came to participate in the assessment. Where are you now? I’ll come find you right away.”
Feng Shizhang spoke, but received no reply for a long, long time, and his brows furrowed deeply.
Just as he was about to ask again, an unusually hoarse voice came from the phone receiver. Mu Ji said, "No need to come."
Feng Shizhang's face darkened, and his tone became unpleasant: "Old Mu, we've known each other for twenty years, haven't we? After all these years of friendship, all I'm asking you to do is introduce me to a student, and you're unwilling to do that?"
Feng Shizhang's heart stirred, and suddenly he thought of something. His voice became even deeper: "You want to use Qin Yanshu and Qin Sheng's relationship to get into the First Research Base, don't you? Are you worried that you'll only have so many favors to use, and if you help me this time, it will be difficult to ask Qin Yanshu for help next time?"
"Don't worry, I want to get into the First Experimental Base on my own merit. I don't want to use any connections. I'm just worried that Dean Wei might hold a grudge against me because of this. I just want to say a few words to Qin Sheng. I just need Qin Yanshu to help me get a meeting with Qin Sheng. I definitely won't mention anything else..."
Feng Shizhang was still talking non-stop, but Mu Ji couldn't hear anything anymore.
At that moment, only two words were in his mind: teacher.
Previously, he was so focused on finding out the truth behind those photos that he hadn't paid much attention to the conversation between Qin Sheng and Vice Dean Wenren. But now, when he heard Feng Shizhang mention that Qin Sheng was Wei Zhenyun's disciple, he suddenly remembered.
I remembered how Vice Dean Wenren addressed Qin Sheng earlier.
……teacher.
Wenren Baiqing calls Qin Sheng "Teacher"!
Some vague ideas gradually took shape in his mind, and then quickly became clear. Mu Ji's pupils trembled, and his body trembled as well.
He interrupted Feng Shizhang, his voice trembling, and said, "Old Feng, you're wrong, I'm wrong, we're all wrong!"
His emotions were so intense that Feng Shizhang finally realized something was wrong. He frowned and asked, "Did something happen on your end? Did Qin Yanshu fail the Level 1 Laboratory Technician exam?"
If only it were that simple.
The truth is: "Qin Sheng is not Wei Zhenyun's disciple at all!"
Feng Shizhang: How could that be? Dean Wei himself admitted it…
Feng Shizhang wanted to speak, but before he could say anything, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
Perhaps, maybe, possibly... Dean Wei never admitted it?
The scene flashed through Feng Shizhang's mind, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "That's right, Dean Wei did not admit that Qin Sheng was his disciple. This is just our guess!"
Qin Yanshu, who was standing nearby, snapped out of her reverie when Feng Shizhang called her and Qin Sheng. She had been listening intently to their conversation ever since he mentioned her and Qin Sheng's names.
When she heard Feng Shizhang say that Qin Sheng was Wei Zhenyun's disciple, heaven knows what kind of disbelief surged through her heart at that moment... and the jealousy that she herself was unwilling to admit.
That person was clearly a shameless intruder. He took everything from her as soon as he returned to the Qin family, caused her family to fall apart, and forced her to live under someone else's roof.
How dare someone like that have everything she dreams of?!
Finally, she even said that she didn't even deserve to die with her!
And what about her? What does she deserve?
How could she be worthy of being a disciple of someone like Academician Wei!
Absolutely impossible!
Qin Yanshu turned her head to look at the entrance of the assessment area. Her turbulent heart gradually calmed down, and a relieved smile appeared on her face.
As expected... Dean Feng was simply mistaken; it was just a misunderstanding.
But before her smile could fully bloom, Mu Ji's incredibly dry voice rang out again, freezing all her expressions on her face.
Mu Ji said in a hoarse voice, "We've all made a mistake. In fact, Qin Sheng is Dean Wei's teacher..."
"Not only Dean Wei, but also Vice Dean Wenren, and perhaps Vice Dean Sun, Vice Dean Ge, and many other senior executives or researchers from the First Experimental Base."
"Qin Sheng... is their teacher."
