Chapter 61



61 Only Worthy To Take the Specialization Examination?

At around nine in the evening, the Gu family’s house was shaken by the sound of a phone ringing. Gu Yuan muttered, “Who called at this hour?”

He picked it up and saw that it was from the school. He heard the other party say, “I’m Miss Zhuang from Han City First High. I’m looking for Gu Man.”

“Miss Zhuang, hello. I’m Gu Man’s father, Gu Yuan. Did she cause trouble in school again? If she doesn’t listen to you and ruins the teaching order, you have to teach her a lesson.” Gu Yuan had already heard from Gu Rou that Gu Man had been called to the office by Miss Zhuang. He guessed that Gu Man must have caused trouble again.

“There’s no such thing.” Zhuang Yan’s voice turned cold. She thought to herself, why did Gu Yuan, as a father, think that his daughter was so unbearable the moment he opened his mouth?

“Teacher, you don’t have to be polite. We all know Gu Man’s personality. She’s the most difficult to discipline. Moreover, her results are terrible and she’s a burden to the class, so we understand that you have to be strict,” Gu Yuan said politely.

“Mr. Gu, I said that there’s no such thing. Gu Man is very good.” Zhuang Yan did not understand why the Gu family’s understanding of Gu Man was different from her understanding. In her opinion, Gu Man was a simple-minded and straightforward girl.

“Teacher, don’t cover up the truth for her. Gu Man needs to be taught a harsh lesson. Otherwise, she won’t remember. The stricter you are, the better it is for her.”

“Mr. Gu, I’m looking for Gu Man. It’s a professor at the Hua Guang School of Physics at Zhong Chu University. He wants to know more about her. Please help me get her to answer the phone,” Zhuang Yan said directly.

“A professor from Zhong Chu University? Is Miss Zhuang mistaken? How does Gu Man know a professor from Zhong Chu University?” Gu Yuan asked with a smile, as if he had heard something funny.

“Mr. Gu, your daughter is extremely outstanding in physics. She will definitely have a bright future if you nurture her. As a parent, I hope you can encourage and support her more.” Zhuang Yan immediately became serious when she heard Gu Yuan’s tone of disbelief.

“Ah? Miss Zhuang, Gu Man was in Class Five before. You might not have taught her before. She has never passed physics before. Is she playing tricks in front of you? If that’s the case, I’ll apologize to the school in advance.” Gu Yuan did not believe that the words “extremely outstanding” were used on Gu Man.

“I think you might need to spend more time to understand Gu Man. As a parent, this is the most basic thing, isn’t it?” Miss Zhuang was disappointed when he heard that Gu Yuan didn’t understand Gu Man so well and even distorted her.

Hearing Miss Zhuang’s increasingly cold tone, Gu Yuan decided not to discuss whether Gu Man was really outstanding or playing tricks. He hurriedly asked Gu Man to answer the call.

Gu Man was surprised to hear that Miss Zhuang was looking for her. Why was she looking for her? Why did she have to call her so late at night?

“Miss Zhuang?” Gu Man shouted.

Miss Zhuang was a little excited. It did not match her usual serious image.

She started to talk about the reason. “Gu Man, I told my senior about your outstanding performance in physics this morning. He said that there’s a plan to make an exception and recruit talents from Zhong Chu University. The academy has already started to implement it and is recruiting geniuses from all over the country. Do you have any intentions?”

Hearing Zhuang Yan say so much at once, Gu Man was a little stunned. She thought that Miss Zhuang only admired her and would at most not fuss about her sleeping in class. She did not expect that Miss Zhuang would actually start to plan for her behind her back.

Gu Man was touched.

On the other end of the line, Miss Zhuang saw that Gu Man did not speak for a long time and thought that Gu Man was frightened. “If you have any thoughts, tell me. Don’t worry.”

Gu Man was sincerely grateful. “I’m very interested. Thank you, Miss Zhuang.”

“You’re welcome. I’m just helping you pull some strings now. In the end, it’s all thanks to your efforts.” Zhuang Yan could hear Gu Man’s sincerity and was even happier.

“Okay, I understand.”

“Then when you’re in school tomorrow, we’ll talk in detail.” Zhuang Yan hung up.

Gu Man put down the phone and wanted to turn around and walk upstairs.

Gu Yuan immediately stopped her. Gu Man could only stop. She leaned against the table and crossed her arms to listen to what Gu Yuan had to say.
