Let Him Get Beaten Up by Society and He'll Know Better! (Please Follow and Bookmark)

A different approach?

Could he have been persuaded?

Wu Tianming and Wang Ye exchanged glances, seeing a sense of relief in each other's eyes.

"Actually, if you want to point out someone's mistakes, it's simple. Just send them an email. I'm sure Teacher Ke Zhan will read it carefully once he sees it," Wu Tianming suggested.

Emailing was a private, one-on-one form of communication. If there was a problem, it would be best for Luo Yao and Ke Zhan to resolve it in private.

Luo Yao raised his eyes and asked, "Will he correct it?"

"What?"

"Will he revise the incorrect content in the journal?"

Wang Ye shook his head and whispered beside Luo Yao, "Of course not. The journal has already been published, and Ke Zhan has probably already received his payment. How could you ask him to revise it? He'd also have to contact the magazine editors. It's too troublesome."

After several seconds of silence, Luo Yao turned and headed toward the library's computer area.

Wu Tianming and Wang Ye immediately felt alarm bells ringing and nervously followed him.

As soon as they got close, they saw Luo Yao open his email interface and start writing.

Seeing this, Wang Ye pulled Wu Tianming aside and said, "Good thing you stopped him. Now he's writing an email to Ke Zhan. Whether that guy responds or not will be his own business."

"Ke Zhan probably won't respond at all, but it's fine. Luo Yao probably doesn't know that. This kid is really too straightforward. Who would be so unable to see the bigger picture that they'd offend their own teacher?"

Both the Wu Family and the Wang Family were in business. Having been influenced by their families since childhood, Wu Tianming and Wang Ye naturally knew who they could not afford to offend.

What Wu Tianming said also made Wang Ye start to worry.

"But now that Luo Yao has sent the email, the risk is still huge. No one knows whether Ke Zhan might make things difficult for him."

"There's no helping it. If you don't let him send it, he'll feel miserable. He's just too young. If he'd ever gotten beaten up by society, he wouldn't do something like this," Wu Tianming said.

He sighed and consoled Wang Ye, "But most likely, Ke Zhan will receive the email and not take it seriously. Then the whole matter will simply fade away."

Only after hearing Wu Tianming say that did Wang Ye relax.

Luo Yao typed incredibly fast. By the time Wu Tianming and Wang Ye wanted to go over and see what he had written in the email, Luo Yao had already sent it.

"He finished that quickly? That was lightning fast!" Wang Ye thought. To point out someone else's mistake, even just refuting and proving his point should take at least six or seven thousand words. Since Luo Yao finished so quickly, the email probably was not very long.

In other words, the contents of the email definitely were not enough to prove that Luo Yao was right.

Which meant Ke Zhan was extremely likely to ignore him.

Thinking of what Wu Tianming had just said, Wang Ye immediately felt that poor little Luo Yao was doing pointless work.

"So what now? Going back to the dorm, or what?"

"I want to keep reading here for a while. There are a lot of books here, which will help me study."

Luo Yao still needed to digest the EDA Technology the system had given him first. Otherwise, once he brought it out, if he could not clearly explain its details, people would definitely suspect that he was not its developer, but had obtained it illegally from somewhere.

"Then let's go. We don't have any classes this afternoon anyway, so we'll all go read!"

Luo Yao felt that Wang Ye and Wu Tianming really were nice people. They liked studying even more than the people from his small town.

He nodded and said, "You're right. They say the stupid bird flies early. Although you aren't particularly smart, if you work hard, you can still surpass others."

"Luo Sand Soil! I'm going all out against you today! You actually said I'm not smart! Tianming, don't stop me!"

Wu Tianming desperately held back Wang Ye, who was baring his teeth and claws as he tried to demand an explanation from Luo Yao. Luo Yao stood to the side with his head tilted, unable to understand why Wang Ye had suddenly become so agitated.

The commotion quickly caught the librarian's attention. Under the librarian's warning, the three of them finally quieted down and sat to read.

Wang Ye repeatedly wanted to return to the dorm to play games, but seeing Luo Yao sitting as still as a mountain, he thought of Luo Yao's earlier evaluation and stubbornly lowered his head to keep reading.

Wu Tianming was the same. He had originally wanted to go back and lie down, but when he saw Luo Yao reading so intently, his competitive instincts as a man erupted. He no longer went back to the dorm to sleep and insisted on reading in the library.

The three of them read for the entire afternoon.

It was not until six thirty in the evening that Wang Ye urged them to go eat.

On the way, Luo Yao received a call from Teacher Ouyang, who told him to wait at the entrance of Cafeteria One.

Cafeteria One was the cafeteria they had visited at noon. Wang Ye and Wu Tianming had originally wanted to eat at a small restaurant in University Town, but after hearing that Luo Yao was going to Cafeteria One, they had no choice but to accompany him.

As soon as they arrived at Cafeteria One, they saw Teacher Ouyang.

"Luo Yao, this is your campus card. It's used for campus access and as your meal card."

"On the first of every month, the school will automatically load 1,500 Hua currency onto it. Besides being usable in the cafeteria, merchants in University Town can also accept the campus card. If you get tired of cafeteria food or want to buy daily necessities, you can go to the shops in University Town."

"As for your scholarship and living allowance, you'll have to wait at least half a month, because your student records haven't been transferred over yet. But don't worry, the school is already handling it as quickly as possible."

Luo Yao accepted the card and did not forget to ask about his parents and older sister.

"Everything has been arranged. Your parents found a storefront and plan to open a restaurant there. We've also contacted a school for your sister. Tomorrow, I'll take her to complete her enrollment."

"Have you gotten used to things today?"

Luo Yao nodded without saying much.

Seeing Wu Tianming and Wang Ye waiting beside him, Teacher Ouyang did not say anything more. After giving Luo Yao a few reminders, he let him go eat.

After Teacher Ouyang left, Wang Ye walked over and curiously asked Luo Yao, "Santuo, you have a campus card now. Is there money on it? Should we load some money onto it first?"

With little expression on his face, Luo Yao said, "No need. Teacher Ouyang said the school already loaded 1,500 Hua currency onto it."

Wang Ye felt that he had asked an unnecessary question.

He was a genius specially recruited by the school. How could they possibly treat him poorly?!

"Comparisons really make people furious! Santuo, you're treating us to dinner today!" Wang Ye said angrily.

"Okay."

Luo Yao did not refuse.

He considered the consequences of saying no and knew that spending money at this moment was the optimal choice.

He felt it was worth spending a little on a meal in exchange for some peace and quiet.

Besides, Wang Ye and Wu Tianming had treated him to meals before. In return, he should treat them.

That evening, Wang Ye and Wu Tianming took Luo Yao out for skewers. When it came time to pay, Wu Tianming deliberately checked the price: 117 yuan.

It was a small amount to both him and Wang Ye, but they knew it was not a small amount to Luo Yao, who had even brought up the law of diminishing marginal utility when buying a computer.

So the two of them found an excuse to buy Luo Yao quite a few daily necessities and snacks.

That night, the three of them had a fairly peaceful time, until the next morning...
