# Chapter 13: When You Ask It Like That, Who Would Dare Say It Was Just Politeness? (Please Read, Please Bookmark)

"Three students, get along well. We'll be going now."

"Student Luo, if you need anything, remember to tell your Teacher Huang. If Teacher Huang is busy, you can come to me too."

"Oh, and I'll take care of your family. Just focus on getting along with your classmates." Teacher Ouyang watched Wu Tianming and Wang Ye take the initiative to help move the luggage, feeling quite satisfied. He wanted Luo Yao to get familiar with them quickly.

After giving these instructions, Teacher Ouyang left with Huang Yu.

When the two reached the fifth floor, Teacher Ouyang asked: "Are you sure these two students are reliable? I don't want to remind you, but you should have a deep understanding of Luo Yao's situation by now, right?"

Huang Yu's foot slipped on the stairs as she descended, nearly falling. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and grabbed the wall.

"Teacher Ouyang, don't worry. I know Luo Yao is a special talent recruited by the school."

"Wu Tianming is the third son of the Dongcheng New Pharmaceutical Group's Boss Wu. He's a rich second-generation, but has a good personality, is generous, and most importantly, knows how to handle people. Other majors who lived with him before all praised him."

"As for Wang Ye, his family seems to be in the antique business. He's broad-minded and stout, always cheerful all day long. The kind who doesn't get angry even when scolded by teachers."

Teacher Ouyang hadn't had time to personally look into these two students before, but hearing Huang Yu's explanation now, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

"That does seem good. Getting along with Luo Yao requires being thick-skinned. That child is good in every way, but sometimes doesn't know how to speak properly. Teacher Huang, don't take it to heart."

How could Huang Yu dare take it to heart? Teacher Ouyang had just reminded her to be thick-skinned. She couldn't very well voice her dissatisfaction, so she could only force a smile and say: "That's how geniuses are. I'll pay more attention."

"Mm, it's good that Teacher Huang has that attitude. Luo Yao is someone our school went to great lengths to recruit. A talent of this level—Teacher Huang, being young, probably hasn't seen many. Being personally responsible for him this time can also add a nice touch to your resume."

Only then did Huang Yu realize Luo Yao's importance to her.

Being a counselor is a position where it's hard to achieve results. Many people go through several cohorts of students and still remain ordinary counselors for this very reason. The promotion channels above are basically closed off. To break through, you need luck—to be responsible for an exceptionally outstanding student.

In truth, Huang Yu had been quietly fuming over Luo Yao's words earlier. Now, reminded by Teacher Ouyang, she immediately saw the key point.

If she took good care of Luo Yao, her future promotion would be much easier than other counselors'.

Then she recalled Teacher Ouyang's instructions to Luo Yao—if he couldn't reach her, he should contact Teacher Ouyang.

Huang Yu suddenly felt that from now on, whatever she did, Teacher Ouyang would probably know about it.

Thinking this, Huang Yu immediately knew what to do.

"Thank you for the reminder, Teacher Ouyang. I will definitely take good care of him!" If before, Huang Yu's attitude was perfunctory, going through the motions, now she felt like she had found the password to promotion, and every cell in her body would work toward that goal!

Seeing Huang Yu's change in attitude, Teacher Ouyang knew he had successfully used the promotion goal to make Huang Yu care about Luo Yao from now on.

Without tying it to personal interest, getting an ordinary counselor like Huang Yu to care about Luo Yao would be difficult.

Why should someone earning five thousand yuan a month worry about the entire school's future?

Wasn't that asking too much?

When it comes to work, the same person doing the same task with a different mindset produces different results.

Otherwise, why would so many business owners like to paint rosy pictures? Because they had nothing better to do?

The main purpose was to make employees more devoted to their work, wasn't it?

With Luo Yao's mouth, expecting him not to offend people was impossible. Teacher Ouyang could only try his best to pave the way for Luo Yao, making his life at school more comfortable.

"That's good. I still need to handle Luo Yao's student status and scholarship and financial aid issues. I'll leave him to you for now. If there's anything you're unsure about, you can come ask me."

Huang Yu recalled Luo Yao's luggage and clothing, knowing his family probably wasn't well-off, so she asked: "Teacher Ouyang, when will Luo Yao's scholarship and financial aid be disbursed?"

"Look, students need money as soon as they enter school..."

Sure enough, she was invested now.

Teacher Ouyang saw this and thought to himself. He smiled and said: "Teacher Huang is truly attentive. Don't worry, the school will immediately allocate a reward for Student Luo. The scholarship and financial aid still need to go through procedures, so the disbursement will come a bit later."

Reward?

Right, he was someone specially recruited by the school. There would definitely be a reward.

Thinking this, Huang Yu felt reassured.

On the other side.

In the dormitory, Wu Tianming and Wang Ye were helping Luo Yao unpack.

"Hey, you're Luo Yao, right? Your clothes are all put in the wardrobe. If you need anything, just come find us anytime." Wu Tianming placed the neatly folded clothes from the woven bag into the wardrobe. Just as he was about to compliment Luo Yao on how neatly he folded his clothes, Luo Yao spoke.

"What you said about coming to find you if I need anything—is that sincere or just politeness?"

Wu Tianming's movements froze. He thought, who asks a question like that?

When you ask it like that, who would dare say it was just politeness?

"Of course it's sincere, Student Luo Yao. Is there anything you need help with?" Wu Tianming tried his best to look normal, not letting the other see his true feelings at the moment.

"Could I borrow your books? I want to look at the specific content of Microelectronics Science and Engineering."

Wu Tianming had originally thought that if Luo Yao made excessive demands, he would teach him a lesson.

If a newcomer wasn't put in their place from the start, they'd definitely get cocky later!

But what he didn't expect was that Luo Yao would ask to borrow his books!

Huh, this kid... actually wasn't that annoying.

Wu Tianming handed his book to him, and kindly gave him a notebook as well.

"These are all my notes from class. If you read the book, you can go through them together—it'll make understanding easier."

Luo Yao took the notebook Wu Tianming offered with a blank expression. He flipped to the last page, glanced at it, and said with some confusion: "In Stack Addressing Mode, let F be the accumulator, SP be the Stack Pointer, and PSP be the Top of Stack Unit pointed to by SP. If the operation's action is: (F)→PSP, (SP)-1→SP, then the pop operation's action..."

"Why did you take notes on this? You don't even know the pop operation's action?"

Luo Yao closed the notebook, looking at Wu Tianming with a puzzled expression.

"The pop operation's action refers to taking data from the top of the stack and moving the Stack Pointer SP down one position. This operation is used to access data in the stack and remove it from the stack."

"So to pop the data, you'd definitely need to reverse the operation first, pointing the stack top to the data, (SP)+1→SP, and then pop it, which is (PSP)→F."

"It's that simple. Why take notes? Doesn't writing all that tire you out in class?"

Wu Tianming decided to take back what he'd just thought about Luo Yao not being annoying—this guy was really damn annoying!
