Chapter 814: Think About It
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Teacher He stood at the podium, her eyes catching the admiring glances cast towards the window. Her face flushed with anger, she lacked the composure expected of an educator. She used the guise of emphasizing exam discipline to chastise, “What are you looking at? As students, you should heed your teacher’s advice. Be humble and low-key, not ostentatious and showy, especially not in such important occasions, drawing unnecessary attention.”
At first, the students didn’t realize that all of Teacher He’s actions were targeted at the young prodigy. But now, it was glaringly obvious. How could a teacher be so intolerant?
Although the students remained silent, they all harbored resentment towards Teacher He.
After the exam, someone would bring the proctor evaluation form for the students to rate the proctor. Generally, students wouldn’t dare to offend the proctor and would give full marks. But for a teacher as blatantly unpleasant as Teacher He, the final score was uncertain…
In order to have a serious conversation with Su Bing, Mi Le led him to the proctor’s rest room. Once seated, she suppressed her excitement and straightforwardly extended an invitation, “Su Bing, would you be interested in joining a national-level youth research class? I’m willing to be your sponsor.
“It won’t interfere with your schooling, but by joining this research class, once you reach the appropriate age, you can bypass the college entrance exam and directly enter the country’s top institutions. I believe with your intelligence, you can understand what I’m saying.”
This era was brimming with vitality. After the economic liberalization, prosperity was more evident than ever. Every industry was burgeoning, and the demand for all kinds of talents was immense. This required educators to have a keen eye, actively discovering and nurturing talents.
Mi Le was more than willing to do such work. This was why she chose to work in education, despite the rumors and gossip.
She deeply disliked people like Teacher He. Teacher He’s respect and flattery towards her were merely because she knew of Mi Le’s status as the daughter of the director of the education bureau.
Teacher He, like those who denied all her self-efforts just because she had a bureau director as a father, was shallow and ignorant. Mi Le felt unfortunate to have been paired with such a person.
However, upon discovering a young genius like Su Bing, she felt that her previous misfortune was insignificant. If she hadn’t been assigned to this examination room, how would she have discovered this young prodigy?
She eagerly awaited his response. Of course, she believed that Su Bing, being so intelligent, would surely agree, as he must understand what this opportunity meant.
Su Bing nodded, yet his tone remained nonchalant. “I understand, but I need to think about it.”
He had previously read about the research class in books. It was a special training class established by the country to cultivate top-notch scientific research talents. The students in it, barring any unforeseen circumstances, would all become key members of the country’s high-level scientific research institutions in the future.
Su Bing, of course, understood what joining this research class would mean.
Su Bing had considered joining the research class, but he hadn’t expected that by participating in the preliminary round of a competition, this opportunity would be presented to him.
However, his greatest dream at the moment was to have a strong physique like his father, to become a soldier in the army, and to defend his country like a man. The two paths were mutually exclusive, and he needed time to ponder.
Mi Le was surprised by his response, but upon reflection, she could understand. A genius boy should indeed have the right to make his own choices. She quickly wrote a string of numbers on a piece of paper and handed it to Su Bing. “This is the number of my workplace. Contact me when you’ve made your decision.”
Outside the Children’s Palace, numerous buses were parked, waiting to transport students.
At the main gate, many adults were waiting, attracting the attention of Gu Zi.
She suddenly remembered that today was the time for Su Bing’s preliminary round of the math competition. She also remembered that the competition venue was the Children’s Palace Competition Center.
Gu Zi pushed her cart filled with packages and walked over. The parents seemed to be discussing something, speaking animatedly.
“A genius boy emerged in this competition. He handed in his paper within half an hour of the start of the exam. The deputy invigilator looked at his paper, and my goodness, he almost scored full marks. Whose child is this? I really want to see what he looks like.”
“What could he look like? Either good-looking or not, right? But with such a high IQ, I guess he can’t be that good-looking. After all, God is fair. But how did you guys hear about this? The preliminary round isn’t even over yet.”
“Well, it depends on who’s inside, doesn’t it? My uncle is the invigilator for this round, and he can’t be wrong. Moreover, the daughter of the director of the education bureau has even extended an invitation to the boy to study in the research class. Do you know what? The boy said he needed to think about it. No wonder he’s called a genius. His thought process is just different from us ordinary people!”
