Chapter 762: Jiang Ge leads the team with a crushing score of 2
“Bai Shaoke,” Dr. Zuo placed a pen in his notebook, returning to his senses and inquired of Bai Shaoke, “You said that those new students all come from Xiangcheng?”
“Yes, that Bai Lian is my younger half-sister from the same father.”
Dr. Zuo didn’t say anything further; he knew that Bai Shaoke’s information was incorrect.
This year’s freshmen only Bai Lian and Ning Xiao were well-known, even overshadowing Liang Wuyu’s prominence.
Last month, before President Huang had asked him, Dr. Zuo had already received news about Bai Lian and her group from Bai Shaoke. They were from Xiangcheng with no significant background, so he initially rejected Bai Lian and the group of new students so decisively.
The students nearby were still discussing whether Zhou Wenqing was about to be promoted.
Going from a professor to a vice dean, and to the vice dean of Jiang University’s School of Physics, at that, would grant him several times more power than he currently had.
He would be an entity that Sun Fu and Zuo Jinhua would have difficulty reaching within ten years.
Sun Fu and Bai Lian’s group still had some conflicts, but that was manageable.
Zuo Jinhua, however, was feeling extremely uneasy.
Reflecting on it now, when President Huang assigned the new students to him, it must have been because he knew some insider information and had Zuo’s best interests in mind, yet he failed to seize the opportunity…
The people around them were all discussing the superconductivity Meissner effect or Zhou Wenqing and the new students.
Zuo Jinhua, however, couldn’t continue listening and quickly left with his notebook in hand.
“Brother.” After Zuo Jinhua had left, Bai Shaoqi and Song Min dared to approach.
Bai Shaoke’s eyes narrowed slightly as he led them towards the exit, “Do you still need funding? I still have some here.”
For the current Bai Family, Bai Shaoke was the hope for elevating their status, and he had always been very generous to Bai Shaoke; the money was sent efficiently.
“No need,” Bai Shaoqi shook her head, “Brother, we two do not need the family’s investment.”
Both were equally proud, desperately trying to prove themselves, especially under the circumstances of Bai Lian’s exceptional performance.
“Alright,” Bai Shaoke patted Song Min’s shoulder, “If you really can’t make ends meet, come and find me.”

Zhou Wenqing’s laboratory completed their project ahead of schedule, something most people on the forum didn’t anticipate.
Besides Sun Fu and Zuo Jinhua, there was another group that was restless.
In the neighboring study room, Wang Xi sat at the very edge, looking at posts on the forum, “A second author in ‘Nature,’ their regular grades should be higher than ours, right?”
Although they participated in numerous projects and competitions under Gao Jiachen’s laboratory, they had not yet reached the standard of ‘Nature.’
Hearing his words, the group exchanged looks in silence, not saying a word.
Gao Yuan slowly closed his laptop and stuffed it into his bag.
“Hey, not necessarily. We participated in two competitions and won two scientific research gold awards from Jiang University. They only have that second author paper,” one of the young men in Gao Yuan’s group clapped Wang Xi on the shoulder, “And there’s the final exam and regular grades. Think about it, who taught us topology? How low can our regular grades be?”
They were all people from the inner circle.
They were also targets of the Gao Family’s efforts to win over, with Gao Jiachen personally solving challenging topology problems every week and sending the solutions to Gao Yuan, who then forwarded them to the group.
Hearing this remark, Wang Xi let out a deep sigh of relief.
They were now in Gao Jiachen’s laboratory, the topology problems assigned by Academician Ma were directly supervised by Gao Jiachen, leaving them with no need for anxiety.
The main issue was that Bai Lian and her fellow students didn’t seem like ordinary students.
The pressure was too great, and since Wang Xi had been part of their group before, his emotions were often influenced by them.

Jiang University started its winter vacation, and most undergraduates were tidying up to go home, leaving mainly graduate students and PhD candidates on campus.
Zhou Wenqing also stayed to prepare for his promotion.
He generously gave Hu Yue and the new students a half-month holiday.
With Tang Ming and Ding Wenyang’s schedules free, Ning Xiao was fully focused on plasma separation research. After capturing data, he would pass it on to Bai Lian.
He was out of sight every day.
In room 303, Bai Lian sat on the couch in her loungewear, with her laptop resting on her legs, her fingertips touching the touchscreen, opening software to create diagrams in a casual, lazy manner.
It was clear she was working on diagrams.
Xu Nanjing stood behind her, watching for a while, but not understanding what those letters on the horizontal axis represented, he gave up studying it and turned to Xiao Bingwen, “Let’s go, to the room next door.”
After the upstairs renovation was completed, Xu Nanjing made this place one of his landing spots.
He would come over and stay for the night every other day, and he had a knack for pampering people. Even Ji Heng, who was usually stern, was now warmly calling him “Nanjing” this and “Nanjing” that.
