Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 867: Chapter 867: Envy and Jealousy, But No Malice

"They’ve never actively provoked you, nor have they had any issues with our family. We’re neighbors; I don’t expect you and Comrade Kang to get along perfectly, but at least don’t turn the relationship into enmity."

To completely dispel the chaotic thoughts in Su Man’s mind, Wen Siyuan had to voice his concerns, finally saying, "If you want me to lose the chance to join Comrade Luo’s project group, or if you feel that the bonus is a burden,

then do as you please. Nonetheless, I have to tell you, in our institute, describing the competition to join Comrade Luo’s project group as fierce is still an understatement."

As Wen Siyuan’s voice faded, Su Man returned to the bedroom. She didn’t say a word before leaving, and kept her head down, making it hard for Wen Siyuan to discern what she was thinking.

A perfect score in the sciences?!

This means Comrade Kang is this year’s top science student in the entrance exams, and likely the top in the nation, as full scores in these exams have been very rare over the years.

And from what he knows, one of them was Luo Yanqing, who not only skipped grades continuously but was directly admitted to Shuimu University with a perfect score in the entrance exams.

That year, he happened to take the entrance exams as well. Hearing that someone in Langcheng had become a top science student with a perfect score at fourteen or fifteen, he was stunned for a long time before regaining his composure.

He couldn’t help but marvel at how someone’s mind could grow like that, and how his mind could be so different?

Several years older and taking the entrance exams in the same year, his scores were actually quite good; otherwise, he wouldn’t have crossed the threshold of Shuimu University, yet the gap in intelligence was undeniably real.

Luo Yanqing finished a four-year undergraduate degree in two years, was then sent by the state to further his studies abroad, and returned with a doctorate from a prestigious foreign university.

It’s said he even obtained dual doctorates! Moreover, rumors say if it weren’t for Luo Yanqing’s insistence and the state’s involvement, the foreign side wouldn’t have released him.

As for Luo Yanqing himself, he turned down the comfortable life and well-equipped private laboratory offered abroad, resolutely returning home. To be honest, that’s truly admirable.

Why?

Not every student dispatched by the state for further studies abroad returns to contribute to their own country’s scientific endeavors like Luo Yanqing!

With outstanding ability and a patriotic spirit, he was approved to form his own project research group as soon as he joined the institute. Wen Siyuan greatly admired Luo Yanqing’s career achievements, even felt a little jealous, but without any malice.

He respected those who were more capable than himself and thought of striving to surpass them, yet he wouldn’t resort to inferior methods to achieve his goals.

As his thoughts churned, Wen Siyuan smiled bitterly inside; he just couldn’t match Luo Yanqing. Previously, the latter was a top science student with a perfect score, and he could only look up to that; now, the latter’s wife was also a top science student with a perfect score, while his wife...

Enough!

Comparing oneself to others is impossible; otherwise, the one feeling sour would undoubtedly be oneself.

...

"Hey! Mo Yan, it’s me, yes... same to you, congratulations, uh-huh, you did quite well too. It looks like we’ll soon be classmates!"

Receiving a phone call from Mo Yan at home, Kang Li was overjoyed. After exchanging congratulations, Kang Li mentioned their family’s plans to return to their hometown for the New Year, and couldn’t help but ask:

"Do you want to come to my hometown for the New Year? Let me tell you, the celebrations in our hometown are really lively... Ah? You really won’t come? Okay, I won’t persuade you any further... Sure, see you after the New Year, bye-bye!"
