Inside Boundless Hall.

Li Qiwei sat down and asked, "Who's looking for me?"

Wang Zhengyang held a notebook in his hand as he said, "A young man named Zhao Zhongyao."

"He took part in the Second Physics Olympiad and came in fifth."

"You should have met him, Principal."

"So it's Little Zhao."

"Let him in. I'll have a chat with him."

Reverence began to take root in Zhao Zhongyao's heart, along with a love for science and ambition.

He, too, was a genius in other people's eyes!

But once he truly entered physics research, he realized how cheap a title "genius" was.
