Chapter 28

Chen Xing

The one who had sighed was Lin Chao’s senior, a graduate student in the Mechanical Engineering department.

She had been busy with her supervisor’s project recently and spent every day in the laboratory, but the data she produced had never been ideal.

Lin Chao was a student who shared the same supervisor as her. Although Lin Chao was an undergraduate student, he performed better than her in the project, thus she had never been satisfied with Lin Chao.

Now that she saw Lin Chao bringing two people who were not from his department to the laboratory, she was even more displeased.

“Lin Chao, who allowed you to bring her into the lab? This girl looks underage. Your taste is pretty weird.”

Lin Chao was confused by the series of questions.

Students from other departments often came to their laboratory to do related experiments. Usually, no one would say anything. Why did his senior suddenly scold him today?

“In the future, don’t bring random people here.” Her eyes swept over Guo Miao with a strong sense of hostility.

“This is my friend, Guo Miao. She’s not some random person.”

Lin Chao looked at Guo Miao with an embarrassed smile. “I’m sorry, boss. This is my senior, Chen Xing. She’s been doing experiments all night, so she’s in a bad temper.”

Guo Miao didn’t pay attention to Chen Xing but looked at the experimental equipment and data on the table instead.

Although this place was nearly 1,000 years away from the Empire, these experimental equipment were also used in the Empire in the future.

Looking at the equipment, a sense of familiarity welled up in her heart. She looked at the data and mechanical structure and quickly calculated in her mind.

“There’s a problem with the way the fifth gear is installed from the right to the left, so the data you retrieved is not accurate. Just install it again.”

Hearing Guo Miao’s words, Chen Xing was a little dissatisfied.

“Who are you? How dare you order me around? Is she even an adult? Which university is she from?”

“Senior Sister, don’t say that. Big Boss is still in high school, but she’s very good at physics and computer science. If you don’t believe me…”

“I know my own data. If there’s any problem, I’ll check it myself. I don’t need a high school student like you to meddle in my business.”

Guo Miao saw that she was still staring at the data and wanted to reach out to help her modify it.

“What are you doing?” Chen Xing slapped her hand away.

Suddenly, there was a clearing of the throat. A middle-aged man and a kind-looking old man were standing at the door.

“If the experiment fails, just do it again. Young people shouldn’t have such a bad temper.”

“I’m sorry, Principal Song.” I shouldn’t have brought my friend to the lab,” Lin Chao apologized.

“Beijing University welcomes all students to come for an academic discussion. You don’t have to worry.” The middle-aged man smiled.

He was Beijing University’s principal, Song Xian. Today, he was doing an experiment here with a professor from the school and happened to hear the argument on the way.

However, his philosophy in governance had always been inclusive, so he did not care about these details.

“Principal, I don’t want anyone to interfere with my experiment.” Chen Xing’s face turned red.

“Listen to this student’s advice and try one more time. You might get it right.”

Chen Xing’s face was red as she unwillingly changed the order of the gears. The whole machine started to work in an instant, and data appeared on the electronic panel.

It was within the range that her teacher had given her.

Chen Xing was a little embarrassed because she was not as good as a high school girl.

“It seems that the level of our school’s mechanics students is already so high,” the old man couldn’t help but exclaim, “Such a problem can’t be solved in a single glance without decades of research experience.”

“Professor, Guo Miao isn’t from our school.”

Principal Song was also surprised. “I can’t help but be impressed that your esteemed school has a student like you. If you don’t mind, you can consider Beijing University for the postgraduate entrance examination.”

“I still have three years before the college entrance examination. I will consider it.” Guo Miao nodded calmly.

As soon as she said that, everyone at the scene was shocked.

Was this child really a high school student?

The old man standing next to him was also stunned. He felt that Guo Miao should not have that much research experience, but she could actually see the problem at a glance.

Such talent and ability were simply born for academic research.

The old man took out his business card. “Young lady, if you have any academic needs, you can come to me.”

Guo Miao took the name card, glanced at it, and nodded to the old man. “Okay, Professor Min.”

Chen Xing, Lin Chao, and Li You were so surprised that they couldn’t close their mouths.
