Chapter 622: Going Around in Circles
Xue Xi was looking down at the overall plan and calculating in her head how to complete the project faster when she saw a few key members of the physics team walking over.
She turned hesitantly and looked at those people.
The leader’s face turned red when she looked over. His actions were a little stiff. He only returned to his senses when the person behind pushed him.
He coughed and said, “Sis-Sister Xi, how’s your physics?”
Xue Xi, who had been frantically been studying physics recently, hesitated for a moment before replying, “It’s alright. What’s wrong?”
When the senior heard the word “alright,” he choked and hurriedly waved his hand. “It’s fine, it’s fine!”
After saying that, he took two steps back. “We’ll just get busy over here!”
The rest: “…”
When they returned to the physics team’s office, someone could not help but grumble, “Team Leader, why didn’t you say anything?”
The student sighed and said, “Sister Xi said that her physics knowledge is just alright. That means she knows a little. She’s only in her first year of university this year and this is such a profound problem. Forget it, I’ll go look for my mentor and ask him!”
The rest: “…”
After saying that, the senior sighed and left with a few pages of documents.
They were all studying advanced subjects, and his mentor might not necessarily understand this one. After all, it was not within his specialization.
Indeed, after the senior found him, his mentor and a few other teachers gathered together yet could not solve this problem. The physics department’s director said, “We must definitely support Sister Xi. How about this? Put the questions here and I’ll ask for help from outside. There are also many specializations in the field of Physics. Let’s not limit ourselves to people from our university.”
The senior nodded. “Okay.”
When the senior returned to the laboratory, the rest came to ask about the situation. The senior sighed. “Even the teachers can’t give an answer. I think this is indeed very difficult.”
The group looked at Xue Xi, who was reading with her head lowered. The senior said, “Fortunately, we didn’t ask Sister Xi just now. How can Sister Xi possibly solve a problem that even the director can’t solve? Alright, a portion of us will continue to do our tasks on this project. The rest will continue with this problem.”
“Yes.”
…
Xue Xi had been reading on physics, chemistry, mathematics, and computers recently. She had already solidified her grasp of those subjects, but physics was too general. She needed more professional books.
Hence, after contacting Feng Xingshen and asking him to help contact the Physics Department’s director, Xue Xi went to the Physics Department’s director’s office.
When Director Wang received Feng Xingshen’s call, he was looking down at the questions that his student had passed to him. He felt very uncomfortable when his phone rang, interrupting him.
As he answered the call, his voice did not sound good. “Old Feng, what’s the matter?”
Feng Xingshen: “Oh, my student is a little interested in physics. She’s on her way to discuss it with you now. Help give her some pointers when she arrives.”
Director Wang: “Who is it? That student even asked you to make a call personally. Why would a mathematics student meddle in physics…? I’m busy, I won’t see her!”
Feng Xingshen: “…Aren’t you going to give me some face?”
Director Wang: “Who are you? Why should I give you face? You…”
Feng Xingshen sighed. “Forget it, then. I’ll ask Sister Xi to go look for Director Li from Huazhong University!”
Director Wang: “?”
He immediately put down the materials in his hand and took off his reading glasses. He asked in surprise, “Who did you say wanted to consult with me?”
Feng Xingshen: “Sister Xi!”
Director Wang was stunned. “Xue Xi?”
“Yes.”
“Ha, I’m suddenly free again. Let her come. When is she coming?”
Feng Xingshen: “…Why do I suddenly feel a sense of danger?”
Director Wang: “…”
After hanging up, Director Wang became nervous. He first looked at the mirror, then asked the student who had entered to pour him tea, “Look at me. Do I look energetic? Do I look like a scholar?”
The student: “…Yes, so spirited.”
Spirited away…
He silently added a word in his heart.
Director Wang nodded and waved his hand. “Alright, you can leave now! By the way, if a red-haired girl comes looking for me later, just bring her in!”
The student nodded.
Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Director Wang. “Tell me, why does a girl need to dye her hair red? Does she like red hair? What do you think about me dyeing my hair red?”
The student silently looked at the white hair on his head and gulped. “…Not recommended.”
“…”
…
When Xue Xi arrived at Director Wang’s office, she saw his graduate student looking at her speechlessly.
Xue Xi walked in in confusion and saw a refined-looking old man who seemed to be in his sixties sitting behind a chair and reading seriously.
If not for the fact that the book was upside-down, Xue Xi would have really thought that she had disturbed this scholar.
The corners of her lips twitched as she said, “Hello, Director Wang.”
Director Wang put down his book and pointed at the sofa. He said arrogantly, “Sit.”
Xue Xi sat down on the sofa opposite.
Wang Yuanzheng coughed and said sternly, “I heard that you intend to consult me on some physics knowledge points. I wonder what it is specifically?”
Xue Xi immediately took out the list of books she wanted to read and respectfully passed it over. “Director, can you help me borrow these books?”
What Xue Xi wanted to read were professional books. They were all under the country’s restriction, and the contents were too specialized. Ordinary people could not even buy them.
Whenever she encountered any problems, she would look for a teacher.
Xue Xi had always been a good student, so she came to look for the Physics Department’s director.
Director Wang nodded and took a few glances at the book list.
He had already thought of it before Xue Xi came.
Why were Old Feng, Old Chen, and Old Liu unable to win over Sister Xi? It was because they did not care about their dignity and were arguing until their faces turned red.
They did not look like a scholar at all!
But he was different.
He wanted to let Sister Xi observe the Physics Department from the inside out and have her decide to join it by herself. For example, at this moment, although it was difficult to borrow these books on the book list, he still braced himself and said casually, “Just these few books? It’s very simple. You can just come and get them tomorrow.”
Xue Xi’s eyes lit up. “Okay. Thank you, Director Wang.”
Director Wang: “This is just a small matter. You’re being too polite!”
After saying that, Director Wang stood up. “I happen to have one here. I’ll go get it for you. Wait here for a while.”
Xue Xi nodded.
After Director Wang left, Xue Xi’s gaze landed on the documents that the senior had sent him.
She picked the papers up curiously.
