5:30 pm, inside the office building of the Mecha Manufacturing College.
Department Head Gongsun Xi is reviewing this semester's teaching plan.
"Knock knock." There was a sudden knock on the door.
Gongsun Xi pinched the bridge of his nose and raised his head tiredly: "Come in."
The door opened, and a middle-aged man in his fifties, wearing an ancient Earth-style gown and a pair of black-framed glasses, walked in.
"It's already dinner time, and you're still busy." The visitor said with a smile.
"Director Liao?" Gongsun Xi was stunned. "Why did you come to the Mecha Manufacturing Department?"
"I'd like to treat you to a meal." Director Liao stopped in front of Gongsun Xi's desk.
"You came across half the academy from the School of Pharmacy to our Mecha Manufacturing Department without even saying hello, just to treat me to a meal?" Gongsun Xi asked suspiciously.
"By the way, I want to discuss something with you." Director Liao had a smile on his face the whole time, and the word "courtesy" was almost written on his face.
Gongsun Xi was not only suspicious at this moment, he began to be alert. Everyone who could become a department head at the Federal University had made extraordinary achievements in their respective fields. Usually, they were all arrogant. When had they ever spoken to others in such a polite and even flattering way?
"Don't eat this meal carelessly." Gongsun Xi stood up and made a cup of tea for Director Liao, and personally brought it to him. "If you don't explain clearly what's going on, I'll have indigestion."
"Look at what you said." Director Liao took the tea and did not continue to dwell on the matter of inviting the other party to dinner. After all, it was just a polite remark. "I came here this time to ask you for someone."
"You want someone?" Gongsun Xi was stunned. "You want to go to the desolate planet to collect herbs? You can just make a call for such a small matter, why do you have to make a special trip?"
The School of Pharmacy has two field teaching courses every year. They will go to a planet with dense vegetation and let students search and discover medicinal herbs. In order to protect the safety of students, the School of Mechanics will send students to follow and protect them every time.
"You also said that it's enough to just make a call for such a small matter. How could I come here just for this matter?" Director Liao said straight to the point, "I want Yan Hao."
Yan Hao? !
Gongsun Xi was very familiar with this name. It can be said that in the past half month, he was deeply impressed by the name Yan Hao twice. The first time was when he knew that Master Pang had accepted a freshman apprentice in their mecha manufacturing department, and the second time was when he knew that in this barren planet assessment, a freshman in the mecha manufacturing department actually produced a high-purity sixth-level sedative.
"You want him to transfer to your School of Pharmacy?!" Gongsun Xi guessed Director Liao's intention.
Director Liao nodded.
"Director Liao, I'm afraid this is inappropriate." Gongsun Xi said.
"Director Gongsun, you must have heard about Yan Hao making a level 6 sedative on the deserted planet. Moreover, this kid studied pharmacy in middle school, and his first choice for college was our pharmacy school. It was only because he was angry with his family that he applied for your mecha manufacturing department." Director Liao said, "Such a good seedling of a pharmacist is wasted in your mecha manufacturing department."
"Haha." Gongsun Xi chuckled at Director Liao.
This shameless person, seeing a good seedling, wanted to dig into their Pharmacy College, and even made up some nonsense that he was angry with his family. What did he mean by putting him in their Mecha Manufacturing Department would be a waste? Who dares to waste Master Pang's apprentice?
"Yan Hao is from our mecha manufacturing department, so don't try to get him." Gongsun Xi's tone became impolite.
Before coming, Director Liao asked about Yan Hao's situation in the Mecha Manufacturing Department and learned that Yan Hao's grades in the Mecha Manufacturing Department were pretty good and he was ranked second in the class. When Director Liao first learned about this, he was also very surprised. After all, Yan Hao used to study pharmacy. It was really rare for him to have such good grades after switching to Mecha Manufacturing.
"I know Yan Hao's grades in the Mecha Manufacturing Department are pretty good, but he majored in pharmacy after all. His good grades now are only because he has a strong talent for mathematics. In addition, in your Mecha Manufacturing Department, the main subject of freshman year is energy formulas, so he can barely keep up. As his knowledge of mechas becomes more and more in-depth, his weak foundation will slowly be exposed, and then he will not be able to keep up." Director Liao said, "Also, this child is now angry with his family, but in his heart he has always wanted to return to the Pharmacy Department."
"How do you know he wants to go back to the School of Pharmacy? If he wants to go back, why doesn't he submit his transfer application himself?"
"If he didn't want to go back to the School of Pharmacy, why would he study the production method of advanced sedatives after transferring to your Mecha Manufacturing Department?" Director Liao said, "The formula model of this advanced sedative was not released until he entered your Mecha Manufacturing Department."
Gongsun Xi frowned, somewhat impatient to argue with Director Liao, and said directly: "Alright, don't say any more of this. I'll just tell you one thing, Yan Hao, I won't let you go. Go back and do what you need to do."
"Director Gongsun, I'm not coming here empty-handed to ask for someone's help." Director Liao said.
“???” Gongsun Xi looked over in surprise.
Director Liao lowered his head and tapped his finger twice on his computer screen: "I just sent you an email, take a look."
Gongsun Xi opened his mailbox puzzled, and sure enough, he saw an email in it. He clicked it and took a look, then stood up from his chair.
"What's going on?!"
"Federal Special Talent Protection Program, Pharmacy." Director Liao emphasized the last three words. "Actually, with this document, I can directly ask for someone from within the academy, but I thought I should come and tell you."
"This is impossible!" Gongsun Xi said with a dark face.
"Director Gongsun, Yan Hao is a rare genius in our School of Pharmacy, but to your Mecha Manufacturing Department, he is just an ordinary student." Director Liao wanted to persuade him.
"Ordinary ass!" Gongsun Xi slammed the table angrily, "He is Master Pang's disciple!"
"What?!" This time it was Director Liao's turn to jump in shock.
"You dare to snatch the disciple from Master Pang?!" Gongsun Xi asked.
"..." Even if he had ten guts, he wouldn't dare, "But...But..."
"What's the matter with your special talent protection plan? Where did it come from? Is it true?" Gongsun Xi asked doubtfully. Yan Hao had already become Pang Lao's disciple, so how could he apply for special talents in pharmacy? If he had to apply, he should have applied for special talents in mecha manufacturing.
Moreover, this date was just approved today. If Yan Hao wanted to return to the School of Pharmacy, why not just submit a transfer application? Why make it so complicated? So subconsciously, Gongsun Xi felt that there was something wrong with this special talent protection plan.
"Of course it's true. This was issued directly to me by the Special Talent Program Center. Moreover, to apply for special talents, one must..." Director Liao suddenly paused, and a sentence Yan Fei said a few days ago flashed through his mind.
[We can apply for the Special Talent Protection Program. My parents have already applied...]
"Isn't it authorized by Yan Hao?" Director Liao said in a daze.
“Beep, beep, beep~~”
Gongsun Xi's optical computer terminal suddenly received a call, and he quickly answered it. A kind-looking old man with white hair appeared on the virtual screen: "Gongsun boy, what does the email you sent me mean?"
Director Liao was startled by the sudden voice. When he looked up, he met the huge face of Mr. Pang.
Gongsun Xi deliberately enlarged the projected image so that Director Liao could see Elder Pang: "This email was sent to me by Director Liao from the School of Pharmacy. He came to me today to ask for someone, and asked me to send your little apprentice to their pharmacy department."
Damn, this is murderous and heartbreaking.
When Elder Pang heard this, his narrowed eyes suddenly glared at Director Liao, who was standing at the side and was already in a mess: "It's you who wants to steal my apprentice?!"
“No, Mr. Pang, how dare I?” Mr. Pang was a level-10 mecha master. Even the federal marshal had to show courtesy to him when he saw him. How could a mere pharmacist like him dare to snatch people from him?
"Then what are you going to do with this crappy plan?" Old Pang raised his eyebrows.
"This... this is not something I did. This special talent protection program requires an application from the individual." Director Liao said quickly.
"Apply in person? Wait a minute, let me ask." Mr. Pang dialed Yan Hao's number at the same time and started a three-party call.
"Teacher?!" Yan Hao answered the call and found it was a three-way call. He was confused for a moment.
"Xiao Hao, have you applied for the special talent program in pharmacy?" Mr. Pang asked directly.
Does the teacher know everything?
Yan Hao was stunned for a moment, his eyes swept across the screen, and then suddenly noticed a familiar figure. If he remembered correctly, that person seemed to be the head of the School of Pharmacy, whom he had met several times in his previous life.
"I didn't apply." Yan Hao shook his head in denial.
"Then where did this special program application come from?" asked Mr. Pang.
"My parents applied for it without my knowledge." Yan Hao answered honestly.
"Your parents?"
Yan Hao's answer made everyone who heard it stunned.
"Why did they apply without your knowledge?" Upon hearing that they were his disciple's parents, Elder Pang's expression eased a little.
"After returning from the deserted planet, my brother came to see me twice and insisted that I go back to the pharmacy department to continue studying pharmacy. I clearly refused twice, saying that I only wanted to learn mecha manufacturing, but I don't know why he insisted on me going back. He applied for this special talent protection plan without my knowledge, probably to force me to go back." Yan Hao said his guess.
"Do you have to go back? Isn't it someone's idea?" Gongsun Xi stared at Director Liao.
Mr. Pang also looked at Director Liao.
"No...no, I really don't know about this." Director Liao quickly waved his hands to indicate that it was not him.
"Do you dare to say that it was not you who asked Brother Yan Hao to go find him?" Gongsun Xi asked.
"I did, but I didn't..."
"It's you." Gongsun Xi sneered.
"You're so good for daring to plot against my disciple." Unlike Gongsun Xi, Old Pang smiled particularly kindly at this moment, but that kindness made Director Liao's legs tremble.
He is a level 10 mecha maker. The weapons he makes can destroy the entire pharmacy academy with just one attack.
"It really wasn't me." Director Liao was about to cry.
"Don't you want to steal someone?" Gongsun Xi asked.
"I wanted to rob him, but..." Director Liao felt the murderous gaze of Mr. Pang and changed his words in a second, "I was wrong. Student Yan Hao, I promise here that I will never let you return to the Pharmacy Department. You should study hard in the Mecha Manufacturing Department. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Director Liao felt that he couldn't wash himself clean even if he jumped into the Yellow River, so he could only slip away.
When Yan Hao heard Director Liao say that he would never let him return to the Pharmacy Department, he felt as if the huge mountain of plot weighing on him had been lifted away. He immediately relaxed and became more lively.
"Mr. Pang, regardless of whether Director Liao knows about this application or not, this application is genuine. With this thing, it may be troublesome for Student Yan Hao to continue studying mecha manufacturing." Gongsun Xi reminded.
"It's not a big deal." Old Pang waved his hand indifferently.
"Teacher, do you have a solution?" Yan Hao asked in surprise. Although Senior Sheng Heng had said at noon that he would use his connections to get through the back door to solve this matter, if the teacher had a solution, Senior Sheng Heng wouldn't have to use the back door.
"The deputy director of the Federal Center for Special Talents is your second senior brother. I will ask him to remove you from the list." Old Pang said easily.
"Thank you, teacher." Yan Hao didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
"Remember to come to the lab tomorrow."
On the other side, as soon as Director Liao returned to the School of Pharmacy, he called Yan Fei over.
"Let me ask you, is your brother not angry at all? He just doesn't want to study pharmacy anymore?" Director Liao asked.
"Teacher, how could that be? My brother is really angry with his family. Otherwise, why would he suddenly give up the entrance exam to the School of Pharmacy and learn how to make level 6 sedatives on his own?" Yan Fei said with certainty, "Also, if the special talent application is not approved by the applicant himself, it will not be successful at all."
"But your brother said he knew nothing about it." Director Liao said.
Yan Fei panicked, but soon regained his composure: "That was the application my brother wrote before the college entrance examination, but he just submitted it recently."
"That means your brother didn't know anything at all."
"Although my brother doesn't know about it, he really wants to apply?!" Yan Fei said.
"Then why didn't you ask your brother's opinion before you applied?"
"Director, I told you that my brother was angry with my parents."
"Shut up!" Director Liao used all his life's restraint to maintain his composure and not swear. "He has already worshipped a level 10 mecha manufacturing master as his teacher. How could he just be angry? Go and try a bet."
"Level 10 Mecha Master?"
"That's right, your brother is now Master Pang's disciple." Director Liao said.
Who is Mr. Pang? Anyone in the entire federation who knows mechas knows him. Yan Fei's pupils shrank, and he tried his best to hide the shock in his heart.
How is it possible? Didn't Yan Hao just learn mecha manufacturing? He clearly has no basics at all, how could he be Master Pang's disciple?
It’s okay. So what if he is Master Pang’s disciple? He has been protected as a special talent anyway, and he can only continue to study pharmacy.
"Director, I really didn't know about this matter. I'm sorry for the trouble it caused you." Yan Fei bowed 90 degrees.
Director Liao had just vented his anger, and now seeing that Yan Fei's attitude was okay, he didn't want to continue to vent, but he didn't want to see him again: "Forget it, you can go out."
After leaving the office, Yan Fei knew that the impression he had left on Director Liao had become worse, but it didn't matter. As long as he waited for Yan Hao to come and improved a few more prescriptions, so that Director Liao could see his talent clearly, he would eventually change his opinion of him.
So what if I am a level 10 mecha master? My master in the future will definitely not be worse than Old Pang. Moreover, most mecha builders and mecha masters will have mental problems. When I become a top-level potion master, they will have to beg me.
