“Elder Zhou.”
Shen Muhan obediently greeted the person next to him, then introduced him to Lu Miao. “This is Elder Zhou, an academician of both the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Mathematics and Physics. He is also a close friend of my grandfather.”
After introducing Lu Miao, Shen Muhan turned to Elder Zhou and continued, “Elder Zhou, this is Lu Miao, my boss. She is the most outstanding student at our school, a recipient of the Special Prize in the International Mathematical
Olympiad, and she recently participated in the recording of the TV show ‘Super Brain.’
Although the finals haven’t aired yet, my boss is definitely the ultimate champion!
Moreover, my boss is not only exceptionally intelligent and academically gifted, but she is also incredibly skilled in medicine.
Previously, when I had a problem with my cervical spine and almost became a vegetable, it was my boss who used acupuncture to treat me!”
Shen Muhan showered Lu Miao with exaggerated flattery, looking proud and smug.
Elder Zhou smiled and looked at Lu Miao. “Lu Miao, it’s been a long time. You went to the capital for the program finals without even saying hello.”
Oh boy, it turns out Lu Miao is also skilled in medicine!
No wonder Elder Sun and Elder Wen were so eager to have Lu Miao join their research group.
Fortunately, she had thick skin and a broad range of knowledge, which is why Lu Miao agreed to join their group.
Lu Miao felt overwhelmed. “It was a rushed trip, so I didn’t have time to inform you.”
“It’s okay, there will be plenty of time for you to join the group. We recently started several research projects that I’m sure you’ll find interesting. Today happens to be Saturday, so why don’t you come back to the capital with me later to take a look?”
Lu Miao twitched her lips. “I have other plans tomorrow, but I’ll definitely come to the capital next time.”
“Alright, that’s a deal. No backing out!” Elder Zhou immediately said, his face beaming like a flower.
Lu Miao nodded helplessly. “Okay.”
Shen Muhan looked left and right and said, “Boss, you know Elder Zhou.”
“Of course, not only do I know him, but Lu Miao also agreed to join my research group, ” proudly stated Elder Zhou, feeling proud of recruiting such a talented genius.
“Unfortunately, she insisted on continuing her studies, otherwise she could have been conducting research with me every day.”
‘What? She agreed to join your research group?” Another familiar figure hastily entered the room.
Elder Sun, with his agile steps, arrived in front of the three in a few strides.
With widened eyes, he looked dissatisfiedly at Elder Zhou. “She is a medical genius, what business do you, a mathematician and physicist, have interfering?”
“How am I interfering? She is an award-winning participant in the
International Mathematical Olympiad, a young genius who has created several mathematical formulas. In the Three Strongest Competition and Super Brain, she has demonstrated extraordinary calculation abilities and exceptional spatial thinking.
In the fields of mathematics and physics, her potential is limitless!” Elder Zhou retorted, unwilling to back down.
“Lu Miao also has profound insights in the field of traditional Chinese medicine and is proficient in pharmacology and medical skills.
There are plenty of talented individuals in mathematics and physics. Every year, there are numerous medal winners in the International Mathematical Olympiad. You should recruit them instead of trying to convince Lu Miao to join your research group. I absolutely won’t interfere.
But talented individuals in the field of traditional Chinese medicine are rare, and individuals capable of advancing
the development of traditional Chinese medicine are even rarer. Compared to mathematics and physics, the field of traditional Chinese medicine needs someone like Lu Miao.” Elder Sun passionately expressed his thoughts, attempting to persuade Elder Zhou to step back.
Elder Zhou remained resolute. “Mathematics and physics are the driving forces behind human society’s progress and development. Such exceptional talent should be placed where it is most useful and can contribute the most to humanity.”
The two elders argued back and forth, each trying to prove their point.
Elder Sun turned to Lu Miao with a dejected expression. “Lu, my dear student, we met and I invited you first. How could you agree to join Elder Zhou’s research group without informing me? It breaks this old man’s heart.”
Before Lu Miao could respond, Elder Sun interrupted her, saying, “Since that’s not the case, it must be because you also feel a strong connection with me. By extension, you have agreed to join my research group.”
‘You’re being unfair! How can you consider that a valid reasoning? Did your math teacher also teach you physical education?” Elder Zhou retorted, glaring at him.
Seeing that the two elders were about to start another argument, Lu Miao pressed her temples with her hand and let out a long sigh. Helplessly, she said, “Stop arguing, I’ll join both teams…”
Just find some time and energy, she can do it!
Elder Sun immediately smiled and said, “I’ll have someone prepare a separate office for you. Next time you come to the capital, you must visit my place first.”
“That’s not acceptable. If she’s going anywhere, it should be to my side,” Elder Zhou interjected.
Shen Muhan stood by, dumbfounded. Were these the same industry giants he had always known as respectable figures?
He knew his boss was exceptional, but he didn’t expect her to be this extraordinary. These two top-notch experts in their respective fields were acting like children, disregarding their reputation as they argued and fought over his boss.O
When his grandfather asked him to invite his boss, Shen Muhan had thought that with these esteemed experts, they might be able to help her in the future. That’s why he agreed.
Little did he know, he had underestimated her. His boss didn’t need anyone’s help at all.
“No wonder I could hear you two old men arguing from afar. So it was here,” Shen’s grandfather walked out from inside, smiling as he approached.
The elderly gentlemen exchanged greetings.
“Grandfather, this is my boss, Lu Miao,” Shen Muhan hurriedly introduced.
“Hello, Grandfather Shen,” Lu Miao politely greeted.
Shen’s grandfather looked her up and down, then raised his hand to stroke his chin, his face beaming with kindness. “Indeed, a promising youth! I heard from Muhan that you are a recipient of the Special Prize in the International Mathematical Olympiad. Have you decided which university you want to attend in the future? I am a professor at Qing University, and I can supervise both master’s and doctoral students. Would you like to come to Qing University?” Lu Miao’s temples throbbed.. Just as she dealt with two, another one came?
