Why Are You All Taking Advantage of the Situation? (Please Follow and Bookmark)

Not only was he bringing his whole family along to college, he was even getting paid for it. This probably only happened to Luo Yao.

The livestream viewers were truly seeing something unprecedented.

When they heard that Luo Yao had a second question, they all focused their attention, waiting for what he would say next.

Teacher Ouyang smiled kindly, thinking, Even if you have a hundred questions, I have to solve them all for you today!

As the Buddha said, "If I do not enter hell, who will?"

When facing a genius, Teacher Ouyang's years of work experience told him that all he could do was endure.

Things were a little tough right now, but he believed that once he got his performance bonus and year-end bonus, this little hardship would be nothing!

He would fight for the bonus!

"Student Luo, go ahead. Whatever questions you have, I'll answer them for you."

At last, a hint of anticipation appeared on Luo Yao's expressionless face. "I want Professor Xia Qing to teach me. Is that possible?"

Teacher Ouyang breathed a sigh of relief. What a small matter. Isn't it just Microelectronics Science and Engineering?

That department had high requirements, but Luo Yao fully met the program's standards. Getting into Microelectronics Science and Engineering would be so easy.

"Of course—"

"No."

Before Teacher Ouyang could speak, Professor Xia Qing's voice came through his phone.

Damn it! I forgot this lady hadn't hung up yet!

Teacher Ouyang regretted it deeply.

What the hell is this?

The moment Xia Qing opened her mouth, he knew things had gone wrong.

Why?

Because Xia Qing was also a genius.

When Xia Qing entered East University of Technology, she had been Guangcheng's top science student with a perfect score. She had breezed through everything, becoming the youngest full professor at the university by the age of thirty.

Almost without exception, every student under Xia Qing was brilliant.

One of them had received an offer from Huaji's Genius Program, a renowned domestic tech giant, while still in graduate school.

The annual compensation was 850,000 yuan.

That was the only student at East University of Technology to receive such a high-paying offer before even graduating.

Huaji had also invited Xia Qing herself to serve as a technical consultant, but she had turned them down.

Her reason was that she preferred academic research.

Microelectronics Science and Engineering had always been one of the university's flagship programs, and Xia Qing had always been selective when choosing students. Now that she had said "no," Teacher Ouyang's heart sank halfway.

Seriously, were all you top students this rebellious?

One had set a question to test the university's abilities, while the other refused when he wanted to choose her major. Teacher Ouyang was starting to regret making this trip.

Whatever was going on between you academic geniuses, what did it have to do with us ordinary people?

The admissions teachers beside him lit up with joy the moment they heard Xia Qing reject Luo Yao.

"Since Professor Xia isn't taking him, our university also has a Microelectronics Science and Engineering program. Student Luo, you're welcome to join us!"

"Student Luo, as long as you're willing to come to our university, we'll give you the reward right away!"

"After you enroll, we'll arrange senior students to help you get familiar with campus life as quickly as possible!"

"Student Luo, come to our university, and we'll definitely find the best professor to teach you!"

Seeing the admissions teachers disregard Teacher Ouyang's dignity and openly compete for Luo Yao, the livestream viewers were surprised to discover that admissions work seemed rather plain and down-to-earth.

"The admissions work we imagined was glamorous and prestigious, but in reality, it's full of the flavor of corporate warfare!"

"Hahaha, Teacher Ouyang is still standing right there, and they're already so anxious! He must be losing his mind!"

"Looks like all the teachers are going to have to show off their skills in this battle for talent!"

"They're really working hard! This is the first time I've seen admissions teachers work this hard!"

The livestream viewers laughed as they watched the spectacle, but Teacher Ouyang could not laugh at all!

Damn it! Are you all taking advantage of the situation?

Teacher Ouyang had never seen colleagues this shameless, actually poaching someone right in front of him!

Still, grumbling inwardly was one thing. Teacher Ouyang had to dutifully remind Xia Qing, or the prize already in his grasp would really fly away. "Professor Xia, this is being livestreamed right now, and there are many admissions teachers standing beside me."

What Teacher Ouyang really meant was, Please rein it in. I'm scared.

Xia Qing fell silent on the other end of the phone.

"Why?" Luo Yao spoke up. He thought his qualifications were quite outstanding. Otherwise, so many admissions teachers would not have rushed to his home to persuade him. Why would Professor Xia reject him?

Luo Yao could not understand.

"Because my way of teaching is different from that of other teachers."

"I usually have students try preparing lessons themselves, then randomly pick someone to teach during class. A lot of students find it hard to accept this approach."

"Especially the ones who don't like speaking."

Xia Qing had been a top student herself, so of course she understood the problems some top students had—namely, withdrawn personalities.

Whether they went into research or worked at any organization, this would have a certain impact.

In a society built on personal connections, people with withdrawn personalities were bound to be excluded by others.

Xia Qing had once personally seen one of her students get ostracized after entering the workforce. In the end, the student became miserable, quit their job, and went home to farm.

That kind of experience was difficult enough for an ordinary person to accept, let alone someone who had once been heaven's favored child.

So from then on, Xia Qing changed her teaching methods. She hoped her students would develop some social skills and be able to quickly adapt to new environments.

Xia Qing believed this was a way of protecting oneself.

Most geniuses were young. If she could not help them build the ability to communicate normally with others, then she knew the next student would still flee society, retreat into their own safe room, and refuse to come out again.

She did not want to see her students get battered beyond recognition by so-called social etiquette and human relationships.

Including herself.

Going to school was absolutely not just about getting a degree. The formation of one's values and view of society also required a teacher's help.

"That won't be difficult."

Just as Xia Qing was recalling the past, Luo Yao gave her his answer.

"You're not afraid of teaching? You'll be facing around thirty people then." Xia Qing found this strange. Didn't top students all like to stay quietly in a corner and study by themselves?

"Teaching? Why would I be afraid?"

"If teaching can help me sort out my own logic more clearly, then I see no reason to refuse."

Only then did Xia Qing understand what Luo Yao meant. To him, teaching meant something that could help him improve himself. As for what everyone else was like or what they thought, he might not have considered it at all.

"If you don't teach well, the other students might point it out. Can you accept that?"

Geniuses often could not accept being criticized in public, yet this was something frequently encountered at work. Xia Qing paid close attention to cultivating her students' ability to withstand pressure.

She was now a little curious about how Luo Yao would answer.
