Chapter 820: She Was An All-Rounded Genius But No One Wanted To Take Her

Every student had the freedom to choose their subjects. However, once the quota exceeded, students would get assigned to a course based on meritocracy.

If they had a problem with the assignment and could not reach a satisfactory arrangement, the students would be pushed out of the faculty.

Huo Yao went to her division teacher first thing in the morning. Although she did not mind taking a different subject, she had to know the reason for this placement.

She had investigated the Biology department’s past enrollment. In the history of the university, the quota was rarely met.

The Bioinformatics teacher was called Liu Qian. He went quiet for a while before he got straight to the point and explained. “Sometimes, students are placed based on their results. Since you are the only Arts student accepted in Biology this year, you were temporarily assigned to my course.”

Huo Yao might have been the top Arts scholar with full marks in her college entrance exam, but the Biology department only accepted Science students. An Arts student without any foundation in Science was no different than a Science student with low marks. Some of the teachers even felt she was worse than a Science student with bad grades.

None of the teachers wanted a lousy student, so the Biotechnology division forcibly threw her into Bioinformatics.

Liu Qian had always felt annoyed with this practice of dumping unwanted students with bad grades into his course.

Even though Bioinformatics did not sound as grand as the other subjects, it was a core part of Biology. Without the data analysis of Bioinformatics, it was impossible to do any research.

Although Liu Qian felt irritated, he did not have the courage to step up and stop them from doing it.

Since there hadn’t been any geniuses with great contributions in Bioinformatics for years, he did not have as much say as the other teachers.

The government provided funding worth $30 000 000 each year. He could count himself lucky if Bioinformatics was given anything close to $2 000 000.

Without funds, it was impossible to conduct any research. It was very hard to groom talent.

Liu Qian sighed in his heart.

Huo Yao immediately understood what Liu Qian was trying to say.

In a word, none of the teachers wanted to accept her even though she was an all-rounded genius simply because she had graduated from the Arts division. The Bioinformatics division had to sadly take her in since no one else selected her.

This was getting interesting.

Liu Qian noticed Huo Yao’s silence. He could imagine that she was probably upset that she did not get to major in Biomedicine.

He cleared his throat and said, “If you don’t want to take Bioinformatics, I can help you talk to the other teachers…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Qi Hui came over. The department head had been standing at the door for some time and interrupted. “Mr. Liu, all the student placements have been finalized. Haven’t you heard?”

Liu Qian looked at Qi Hui and said, “Huo Yao isn’t interested in Bioinformatics. You are just messing with her future by forcing her to stay.”

Qi Hui glanced at Huo Yao before he quickly veered his eyes and looked at Liu Qian. “I have a feeling this isn’t really about her choices.”

Liu Qian frowned. Was he trying to imply…
