Chapter 69: Once a National Research Fellow
During the second half, Chu Ci kept his eyes closed and rested.
Chu Ci’s principle of life is, never sit when you can lie down, never stand when you can sit, and never be diligent when you can be lazy.
At this moment, something in Chu Ci's backpack vibrated.
Chu Ci opened his eyes, slowly opened his backpack, and took out a square object that looked like a foundation box.
The vibration just now was caused by this thing. It is a special electronic communication device.
This device has been silent for three years, and suddenly it started responding today.
Chu Ci opened the lid, and the first side revealed an electronic screen. There were several buttons on the lower side. There were no written instructions on the buttons, and people who didn't know would have no idea what these buttons were for.
A line of words appeared on the screen:
[Boss Chu, have you returned to Tonghai City? When did it happen? I saw you on the city's high school midterm exam rankings.]
This midterm exam is a city-wide exam, and the same test paper is used for the entire city. After the exam, the results of each school will be ranked and compared together, including not only the student rankings but also the school rankings.
The person who sent the message to Chuci was Chuci's former colleague in the scientific research studio.
To be precise, it was her former subordinate.
That year, Chu Ci joined a national scientific research group located in Tonghai City.
The research group studies the ocean. Tonghai City is located on the sea and is a good marine research base.
However, three years ago, Chu Ci quit the organization for a simple reason: they made money too slowly and could not keep up with her needs.
However, the person in charge at that time did not want Chu Ci to leave, and finally had to agree to let Chu Ci take a temporary leave. She would be welcome to come back whenever she wanted.
So Chu Ci still has this communication tool belonging to the marine research team.
After Chu Ci pressed his fingers on the screen a few times, a line of code was sent out.
This is an encrypted message, which will be automatically translated into readable text when it reaches the other party's receiver.
The content of the reply was: [Something happened, so I went back to school to study.]
Then Chu Ci put the communicator back into his backpack and continued to rest with his eyes closed.

Old Master Chu learned about Chu Ci's test results and called Chu Ci to his bedside.
Mr. Chu has always been concerned about the academic performance of his descendants and grandchildren, and regards it as a very important assessment criterion.
"Your test scores are very good." Old Master Chu praised Chu Ci.
"Yeah." Chu Ci's response was not enthusiastic.
Chu Ci actually didn’t want to be in the spotlight. If it weren’t for the system’s requirement... she would still want to be a poor student, a nobody who was ignored by teachers and classmates.
Mr. Chu admired Chu Ci's calm character.
"I'm very happy that you are not as studious and unruly as we misunderstood." Old Master Chu looked at Chu Ci and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.
He seemed to have listed Chuci as his important heir.
Old Master Chu actually knew very well in his heart that his second son Chu Yuheng, third son Chu Muping, and youngest daughter were not suitable candidates to inherit the family business.
Chu Ci wanted to say that he had not misunderstood her at all.
Mr. Chu then said to Chu Ci: "Don't you value my inheritance very much? As long as you behave well, your share will not be reduced."
Old Master Chu used his own property as bait, wanting Chu Ci to develop in the direction he wanted.
