“There happened to be a professor from Peking University who was quite interested in her. Knowing that she couldn’t participate in the knowledge competition as a sophomore, he specifically asked me to bring her here to familiarize herself with the campus and introduce her to some mentors.”

“Is this a pre-admission notice in the making?” Another principal asked in astonishment.

Principal Li, with a smile, replied, “There are still some procedures to go through.”

That was confirmation enough.

The other principals and students around them listened with envy. “Congratulations in advance, Principal Li. ”

Principal Li, looking pleased, glanced at Principal Xu. “I have to thank Principal Xu for this as well.”

For years, No.3 High School had been competing with Zhenhai High School for the position of the top school in Luo City. Unfortunately, Zhenhai High School had always dominated in terms of academic performance and educational resources, leaving No.3 High School to be the perennial runner-up.

Finally, Principal Li had a chance to hold his head high. Even if Lu Miao was a genius, she hadn’t received any pre-admission notice yet.

On the other hand, Lu Siyu, who Zhenhai High School didn’t want, had obtained a pre-admission notice to Peking University.

Principal Xu disdainfully remarked, “Even if she has good grades, what good is it if her character and morals are lacking?”

“That’s still better than not receiving any pre-admission notice,” Principal Li retorted, refusing to back down.

The two principals engaged in a battle of words, neither willing to concede.

The people around them listened in confusion, not understanding the riddle-like conversation between the two.

A young man in his twenties, wearing glasses, walked in from outside.

“Principal Li, Siyu, we finally found you,” the young man greeted them with a smile. “Hello, everyone. I’m Professor Liang’s assistant, Wu Ming.” “Hello, Teacher Wu,” Lu Siyu greeted him gracefully and politely.

“Indeed, you’re the student favored by Professor Liang. Humble and respectful, yet confident,” Wu Ming praised, unable to hold back his admiration. o “Let’s go. Professor Liang is waiting for you.”

Lu Siyu cast a disdainful glance at Lu Miao. Lu Miao would never know what she had sacrificed to stand here today.

One day, she would retrieve everything Lu Miao had taken from her!

Amidst the envious gazes of the people in the room, Principal Li proudly walked away with Lu Siyu and the assistant.

Being personally received by a professor at Peking University was a great honor!

Moreover, Lu Siyu was only a sophomore who had recently skipped a grade. Her future was boundless.

In comparison, despite Lu Miao’s reputation, she hadn’t received any admission offers, not even from an ordinary university, let alone Tsinghua University or Peking University.

It was difficult to determine if her reputation was genuine or inflated by publicity.

The principals and students in the room couldn’t help but praise Lu Siyu wholeheartedly.

“Hmph, just a pre-admission notice to Peking University. What’s so special about that?”

Principal Xu looked somewhat frustrated as he turned to Lu Miao. “Which university do you actually want to attend?”

Although she had the opportunity to choose from various world-renowned universities, including Tsinghua University, Lu Miao hadn’t made a single choice.

Now, out of nowhere, Lu Siyu and Principal Li were stealing the spotlight, leading to misunderstandings!

Helplessly, Lu Miao truthfully replied, “I want to attend Xi’an University of

Technology.”

“Xi’an University of Technology?” Principal Xu furrowed his brows. Although it was an excellent university in China, it still paled in comparison to Tsinghua University.

“The best program at Xi’an University of Technology is Aerospace Engineering. Don’t tell me you want to research outer space?” Xu questioned.

Lu Miao nodded. Based on conventional theories, it was possible to achieve time and space travel using cosmic black holes. She wanted to understand what time travel really meant and why she had traveled to this place under these circumstances. To delve into these questions, she needed support from the national level in aerospace. It couldn’t be solved by her own wealth alone.

Seeing Lu Miao nod, Principal Xu fell silent.

He had thought about the universities and majors that Lu Miao might want to pursue, such as mathematics, medicine, biology, and so on.

But he never expected her goal to be this.

However, upon closer consideration, it wasn’t surprising given her personality.

“But, if you go to Xi’an University of Technology, after graduation, whether it’s the graduation certification or finding a job, it will be relatively..”

“Principal Xu, do you think any certificate makes a difference to me?” Lu Miao interrupted with a dominant tone.

Principal Xu blinked, realizing that she was right.

Whether it was Professor Sun, Professor Wen, or Academician Zhou, they were all eager to have her.

Whenever she wanted, she could go anytime.

Which university to attend and which major to choose were merely choices based on her interests, and they wouldn’t affect her future.

This was the confidence of a genius!

Even if worse came to worst, she had Mr Gu as her backer. Even if she idled away every day, she wouldn’t have any problems.

He smiled and shook his head. “Well, as long as you’re happy.”

“Please keep it a secret from Professor Sun, Academician Zhou, and the others,” Lu Miao requested.

Principal Xu finally understood why she had refused to disclose her plans earlier.

Regardless of whether it was Professor Sun, Professor Wen, or the research team of Academician Zhou, they were all in the capital.

If these old gentlemen knew she was going to Xi’an University of Technology, which was so far away, they would probably pester her day and night.

After familiarizing themselves with the exam venue, they didn’t linger outside and went back to the hotel directly.

Lu Miao couldn’t be bothered to go out, so she ordered takeout in her room.

After finishing her meal and washing up, she casually picked up her phone and called Lu Yinan.

He had injured his hand, and she still didn’t know the details.

The phone rang for a while, but no one answered, and it was the same for the second call.

Lu Miao frowned. After some thought, she used her phone to locate Lu Yinan’s position.

She found that his location information was indeed at the training base of the esports club. She thought he must be in training and hadn’t heard the phone, so she didn’t think much of it.

After exiting the tracking program, she logged into the forum and checked.

After the recent rule changes on the forum, it had become lively again, with a surge in orders for safety talismans.

There were also quite a few online requests for feng Shui consultations. historical

Lu Miao casually accepted two orders to earn some extra money, then took out the talisman paper she carried with her and made fifty safety talismans overnight.

She had someone come over to deliver the items.

By the time she finished everything, it was already past ten in the evening.

With the knowledge competition the next day, she tidied up her belongings and went to bed, turning off the lights directly.

The next morning, after getting up and having breakfast, Lu Miao was preparing to go out and meet Principal Xu and Xia Ziyuan to depart together.

Suddenly, there was an urgent knocking sound on the door.

Lu Miao walked over and opened the door.

Outside the door, Xia Ziyuan and Xu Chengfeng stood nervously behind Principal Xu.

Lu Miao asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”

Principal Xu’s face turned grim as he said directly, “There’s been an accident..”
