Chapter 18: Lao Li's New Discovery!

Lao Li felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Has his life of several decades been wasted?

What does Lu Yu mean by that?

Won't it waste time?

Has he finished reading all textbooks up to high school?

What Lu Yu meant by having finished reading couldn't possibly be… just having skimmed through the titles of all textbooks up to high school, right?

"Well, Xiao Yu…" Lao Li realized he didn't know what to say.

Lu Yu thought for a moment and said, "Grandfather, if you don't believe me, you can find a set of college entrance exam papers, or a mock exam, and I'll do it on the spot for you to see."

Originally, Lu Yu didn't want to go through all this trouble.

But he actually really needs a college student identity.

Or rather, he needs a clear proof of identity.

This is actually also part of the foundation for implementing his plan.

What else could Lao Li say……

"Alright then, I'll try to find a test paper for you as soon as possible." Lao Li suddenly felt a bit down.

Lu Yu acted very gently, without any sense of competitiveness—just… a bit unaware of how vast the world is!

At seven years old, he actually said he'd do a college entrance exam paper?

Fortunately… Lu Yu is still young, and his personality can still be shaped.

If it weren't Lu Yu who had just said those words, wouldn't Lao Li have exploded in anger right away?

Even so, Lao Li's enthusiasm for Lu Yu has also decreased somewhat.

In the end, Lao Li didn't even send Lu Yu home himself, but had his secretary do it.

……

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A knocking sound came from outside, and then……

Before Lao Li could respond, someone pushed the door open and rushed in.

It was a professor.

This professor's name is Chen Ming, and he's quite famous at Mo Du Electronic Technology University—no!

It should be said that he's famous throughout the country.

Chen Ming has even published some internationally recognized papers.

One of his papers, "On the Basics of Network Firewalls," caused a huge reaction abroad.

Don't let the plain title fool you—the content is extremely solid, and the viewpoints and theoretical level it proposes are top-notch in the field!

Professor Chen Ming can also be said to be a rare talent in the country.

Precisely for that reason, when Lao Li saw that the person who pushed the door in was Chen Ming, he wasn't angry; instead, he smiled and said, "Old Chen, what brings you here?"

Chen Ming strode up to Lao Qin, got straight to the point, and said, "I won't waste words—just now my student told me our school has produced a genius."

"I heard that child is your grandson."

"I came here to ask for that person."

Lao Li: ……

After a moment, he realized Chen Ming was talking about Lu Yu?

Right!

He had forgotten what happened this morning.

"Old Chen, what do you mean by that? Xiao Yu isn't my grandson, but… he really does have talent in programming, which is also why I want him to enter our school."

"But after all, he's just a child."

Lao Li said.

Chen Ming kept shaking his head, his gaze toward Lao Li full of contempt, saying, "How can you, as a principal, have such a backward idea?"

"What's wrong with kids—does scientific research discriminate by age?"

"My student told me everything about what that kid lectured on."

"I can confirm his foundation is extremely solid, and his understanding of programming languages is profound."

"He's qualified to be my trainee and work with me on research projects!"

Lao Li was stunned again.

He knew very well Chen Ming's caliber.

Chen Ming is certainly not Lao Li!

Chen Ming has always been the embodiment of strictness; he judges people never by status, only by ability!

That means……

He still underestimated Lu Yu!

"How about this, Old Chen? I'll communicate with Lu Yu, and then I'll bring him to see you."

"But I really can't promise you anything."

Lao Li said that.

Chen Ming furrowed his brows, clearly dissatisfied with Lao Li's answer, but he didn't press further.

"Hurry up and bring that kid over; my project has reached a critical point." After saying that, Chen Ming left without another word.

Researchers are often like that—not because they don't understand etiquette, but because…… they devote all their thoughts to research.

It's precisely because they have such focus that the country's technology can develop!

Undistracted, wholeheartedly devoted to scientific research!

Lao Li sighed with these two sentences, and Lu Yu's figure appeared again in his mind.

He realized that his understanding of Lu Yu seemed…… still not enough?

Exactly!

Lu Yu wasn't asking me to find him a set of National College Entrance Examination questions?

Perhaps…… this is another way to further understand Lu Yu?

……

The next day, Chen Qiao went to Soup First Class again.

To be honest, these past two days have been agonizing for him.

He repeatedly wanted to grant download permission for Plants vs. Zombies……

Now more and more people online are discussing this matter, simply…… it has become a national topic!

The phones in the company have never stopped!

However, Chen Qiao is indeed a person who follows through; in the end he still restrained himself.

"Xiao Yu, tomorrow I want to attend a salon sharing session, do you have time? I want to go with you to check it out."

"Those attending this salon meeting are mostly bosses of game companies, or well-known figures in the game industry."

"This might be helpful for you."

Yes, Chen Qiao didn't come this time to discuss Plants vs. Zombies with Lu Yu.

He wants to bring Lu Yu to participate in some activities to increase Lu Yu's horizons.

Working in isolation rarely leads to progress.

But actually for Lu Yu…… it's completely unnecessary!

He originally wanted to refuse.

Sharing? Learning?

If he goes, wouldn't it be…… like giving another lecture yesterday at Mo Du University of Electronic Science and Technology?

However, after thinking for a while, he still nodded.

His understanding of this era is actually not deep enough, especially regarding the upper echelons.

Getting to know more people and things is also not a bad thing.

Upon receiving Lu Yu's reply, Chen Qiao's face showed a smile.

He cleared his throat, originally wanting to remind Lu Yu.

After all, the people attending tomorrow's event are all prominent figures.

Chen Qiao bringing a child along is somewhat disrespectful to the occasion.

If Lu Yu says something wrong again or gets into some trouble, things will definitely become troublesome!

But……

He thought about it, and again felt it unnecessary.

Chen Qiao, could it be that he can't even protect a child?

At this moment, Chen Qiao certainly wouldn't know that in this event, Lu Yu is not someone he needs to protect.

On the contrary……

This is a story for later.

Chen Qiao chatted with Lu Yu for a while, then left.

Yes!

Lu Yu didn't go to work today either.

And Chen Qiao seems to have forgotten that Lu Yu is actually his specially hired employee, never having considered this issue.

This…… is really great!
