Chapter 44

The Office of the President of Mo Du University of Electronic Science and Technology.

Lao Li was brewing tea, and sitting opposite him was Professor Chen.

Lao Li didn't even know how many times he had secretly glanced at Professor Chen.

"What are you looking at me for? Do I have flowers on my face?" Professor Chen finally couldn't hold back, being secretly stared at by a big man, it's... disgusting.

"No... I mean, Professor Chen, how do you have time to come here for tea?" Lao Li finally ended up asking.

"I'm not worthy to come here for tea with you?" Professor Chen glared at Lao Li.

Lao Li felt helpless and could only say: "I don't mean that, I mean... I mean, you haven't been working on a project lately? It feels... you've been so busy lately, you don't even go home to eat."

"Before, your wife even came over to scold me for exploiting you, I..."

Professor Chen suddenly laughed, his smile full of contentment.

Lao Li:...

"You don't know the feeling of being carefree and light; I haven't felt this leisurely in a long time."

"Lately my research has indeed reached a critical point, the workload has increased, but..."

"Just in time, Lu Yu appeared. Didn't Lu Yu have the students finish their tasks early yesterday?"

"So, I delegated part of my tasks out."

"Moreover, I even handed over the part that had been troubling me for two days to Lu Yu! Hahaha..."

As Professor Chen said this, he couldn't help bursting into laughter.

Recently, he really hasn't rested at all.

He hardly even goes home.

Now... he has delegated his own tasks, finally finding an opportunity to relax.

Lao Li:...

"Old Chen... have you ever thought that these students might not be able to complete your tasks?"

"You don't think that just because you throw the work out there, it will definitely get done, do you?"

"Moreover... you even gave the content that you yourself found troublesome to Lu Yu?"

"Lu Yu is still just a seven-year-old kid!"

Lao Li was both laughing and crying, what kind of logic is this!

Are the brains of people whose IQ is at the pinnacle of humanity really this simple?

Professor Chen obviously froze for a moment, then...

"I don't care! Anyway, I've already delegated my tasks!"

Professor Chen is just... childish.

Lao Li felt even more helpless, what could he say.

He himself works in programming, and he knows very well that people like Professor Chen are often... just a child!

If it weren't for maintaining such a mindset, how could one be pure?

"Well then... let's have some tea..."

"You just stay here and rest, I'll keep you company."

"In the afternoon, I'll go with you to check out the computer lab."

In the end, Lao Li could only say that.

"Old Chen, let's go..." At five in the afternoon, Lao Li urged Professor Chen for the fifth time.

Professor Chen didn't want to get up at all.

What Lao Li said in the morning had already made him understand that, ultimately... the difficulty still had to be faced by him alone.

The day he lost will make him... repay with double the effort!

Just thinking about it is painful!

But... Professor Chen still stood up.

Difficulty and pain will always be there.

Avoidance is ultimately not a solution.

Professor Chen took a deep breath, his gaze becoming firm again.

People like them never lack the courage to face difficulties!

If even they retreat, where is the future of Huaxia?

Professor Chen and Lao Li came to the computer lab together, and then...

The two standing at the entrance both froze in unison.

They had imagined what they would see when they came to the computer lab.

Either all the students would be frowning and worried, or everyone would be discussing together, or... all the students would be like walking corpses, devoid of any spirit...

They had countless imaginations, but... they never imagined they would actually see this scene before their eyes!

Inside the computer lab, it was so quiet that even the sound of the computers running could be heard.

Inside the computer lab, it was empty as if mosquitoes were buzzing around!

Yes!

Not a single person was in the entire computer lab!

When Professor Chen saw this scene, the first thought that arose in his heart was not anger.

He didn't think his students would collectively run away.

Is there a big problem?

But what exactly happened that could make all the students disappear together?

"What… what's going on? Where are the students? Where did they all go? Did you assign them other tasks?" Lao Li couldn't help but ask.

Professor Chen gave no answer, only furrowing his brows.

He remained silent for a while, then considered the most unlikely possibility.

He walked to the main control computer and opened the task list.

He saw a swath of red!

Red indicates that the students have submitted their tasks!

Now it's all red, meaning… all the students have already submitted their tasks!

So…

Professor Chen's brows furrowed even tighter.

All the students have completed their tasks?

How could that be!

So… they were just fooling themselves?

The truth… is actually easy to prove.

Professor Chen opened the task list and began reviewing the tasks.

…

Lao Li, standing beside Professor Chen, was truly feeling faint at this moment.

Professor Chen's complexion shifted repeatedly, his brows furrowing tighter and tighter!

Even Lao Li could see a bluish meridian appearing on Professor Chen's arm!

He… had never seen Professor Chen in this condition before!

"Lu Yu!" Suddenly, Lao Li heard Professor Chen utter the words.

Professor Chen said the two words through clenched teeth.

At the same time, Professor Chen's body even trembled slightly!

This is… what degree of anger is this!

Also, why did Professor Chen just shout Lu Yu's name?

Could it be… that the one who provoked Professor Chen's anger is Lu Yu?

Lao Li's mind was now in chaos; he… didn't know what to do.

If Professor Chen got into a conflict with Lu Yu and an irreconcilable dispute arose, who should he help?

It's difficult!

…

Inside a private suite of a high‑end hotel in Mo Du.

"Lu Yu, is there anything else you want to eat? My father and the owner here are friends; just tell me the dish name and I can have the chef make it."

"Hurry, it's still not enough; add a few more dishes."

A classmate said earnestly to Lu Yu.

At this moment… the tabletop was already covered with all kinds of dishes!

Know that this is a banquet table, its diameter a full four meters!

There were already no fewer than thirty different dishes on the table!

But so what!

It's just a meal!

For Jiang Huai, this is far from enough to express his feelings and respect for Lu Yu!

The other classmates also looked at Lu Yu at this moment, awaiting his response.

Yes!

All the classmates from the Computer Lab arrived at the hotel together with Lu Yu.

What are they doing here?

Naturally, to eat.

Don't they still have a task? Why can they eat here now?

Naturally because they have already completed the task, thanks to Lu Yu!
