After all, he was a legitimate physics major.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Surprised?” Zhao Shengwen seemed moved, his face tinged with envy: “Your math department really produces talent—now you’ve added Xu Qingzhou to the list.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a promising talent must not be led astray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Zhi Zhong pursed his lips, sipped tea, then asked the real question: “You said Xu Qingzhou helped you find flaws in the experiment—how’s it going now? Has the model been built?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Gu, that’s unfair—we’ve been friends for decades. Isn’t it normal for me to treat you to tea?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time is limited; for most people, even devoting their entire lives barely lets them reach the peak of a single subfield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come with me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Hong Yayu left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, okay,” Ren Xiaoling nodded obediently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aren’t you busy with your experiment? Why are you suddenly inviting me for tea?” Gu Zhi Zhong grumbled, watching the old man boil water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Interest? Zhao Shengwen didn’t know how to say it—if someone could reach this level through mere interest, what would happen if he took it seriously? He might even have Nobel Prize potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All the new sample data is on the computer—I still need you to organize it. I won’t require you to ‘clock in’—come to the lab whenever your schedule allows.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Wei copied the model from the computer, took the manuscript Xu Qingzhou had just written, and hurried off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your talent lies in physics—I think you should seriously consider it. If you’re willing, I’ll handle the transfer for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a plan forming, he nodded slightly. “I still hope you’ll think carefully about this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget it—I still have a pile of tea left to drink.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qingzhou vaguely guessed Zhao Shengwen’s intent and declined: “Professor, I still want to focus on mathematics. As for physics—I’ll consider it in the future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few brief exchanges, both returned to their tasks—Xu Qingzhou verified the data for Sample B02, the revised sample based on his suggestions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Zhi Zhong stroked the teacup and praised: “Hmm, excellent tea.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the office was filled with the aroma of tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How about this—if you want, I’ll give you a box,” Zhao Shengwen smiled with narrowed eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Zhi Zhong couldn’t shake the feeling that Zhao Shengwen was like a weasel paying a visit to a chicken—he frowned and asked: “Old Zhao, what do you want from me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qingzhou began organizing the data and said: “Spend more time with her—you’ll find Senior Hong is a good person.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xu Qingzhou has already finished the model—and he did it alone, without any help from us,” Zhao Shengwen said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The office fell silent for a second, then Gu Zhi Zhong’s angry voice erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, Zhao Shengwen rubbed his hands. “Old Gu, could you persuade Xu Qingzhou to transfer to our Physics Academy?” After the flattery, he smiled lightly and added: “Old Gu, I’ll be honest—I’ve taught for years and haven’t seen many students with such natural talent in physics.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Zhi Zhong didn’t wait for Zhao Shengwen to invite him—he sat down on his own chair. “Rare indeed—you actually invited me for tea.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I knew it! You suddenly became so kind—turns out you’re here to poach someone!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior, I won’t slack off and read books during work hours!” Ren Xiaoling vowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved his hand. “Since we have a new direction, no time to waste. Xiao Wang, go to the Materials Lab and prepare new samples based on Xiao Xu’s data. Xiao Hong, I’m leaving the lab in your hands.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xu Qing, would you be interested in joining our Physics Academy?” Zhao Shengwen asked bluntly. Even though physics wasn’t his main field, he’d mastered it so thoroughly—if he focused on it, he’d surely achieve great things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Shengwen took Xu Qingzhou to his office next door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Zhi Zhong was surprised: “Your model involved a lot of physics—did he solve it all?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Experiments must be done, and tea must be drunk,” Zhao Shengwen rose and walked to the cabinet next door, retrieving the innermost canister of tea leaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Physics Academy, Professor’s Office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing Xu Qingzhou unmoved, he suddenly remembered someone—Xu Qingzhou was introduced by that old man Gu Zhi Zhong; perhaps Gu himself could persuade him better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qingzhou shook his head with a faint smile. “Professor, I still plan to solidify my mathematics foundation first. As for physics—I’ll treat it as a hobby for now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you afraid of Senior Hong?” Xu Qingzhou asked, planning to verify some new data here. “Uh,” Ren Xiaoling smiled awkwardly and whispered, “Senior Hong is too strict.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You old man, I’m being generous giving you tea—take it or leave it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Shengwen felt reluctant—this was a true gem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Monday afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qingzhou returned to the next room and found Hong Yayu reviewing materials, while Ren Xiaoling sat quietly at her desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Zhi Zhong frowned, set down his teacup, sensing something off—after decades of friendship, he knew the man’s every move; when the man lifted his butt, he knew exactly what he was about to shit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Shengwen suddenly had an idea—Xu Qingzhou’s talent shouldn’t be wasted on mathematics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course,” Gu Zhi Zhong snorted, pride evident in his tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother, Sister, I’m going to monitor the experiment,” Hong Yayu drank some water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yayu took two steps, then stopped and turned to Ren Xiaoling: “Those two books of yours—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yayu shook her head. “Those two are for later stages of your postgraduate exam prep. First, read Cheng Shouzhu’s ‘General Physics’ and Zeng Jinyan’s ‘Quantum Mechanics’ (5th Edition).”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gong Shixiong said the same thing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay,” Xu Qingzhou nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I guarantee his talent in physics is far more promising than in mathematics.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bullshit! Does mathematics have no future?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t get worked up—I’m just discussing it with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No discussion! Zhao Shengwen, I’m telling you—poaching talent? Not a chance! Not even a door! Not even a window!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1128,"2026-06-20T21:06:39.533Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","4babf363823f53f8d088b50318fbacc216ba0f7dff6ec97af3ab4deee40f45ef","i-m-focused-on-science-but-you-want-to-trick-me--chapter-83","i-m-focused-on-science-but-you-want-to-trick-me--chapter-81",790,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-focused-on-science-but-you-want-to-trick-me--cover.jpg"]
