Chapter 935: A New Thesis

Huo Yao was long gone by the time Qi Hui had gathered his thoughts. He glanced at Jiang Mingyue, shook his head, and pressed the lift button to go up.

After the lift door opened, he entered first and swiped his card before pressing for the third floor.

Something was playing on Qi Hui’s mind. A couple of seconds later, he suddenly raised his head and asked Jiang Mingyue. “Oh yes. I recall that Liu Qian brought the girl over to observe your experiment. How did she do?”

Jiang Mingyue could not help feeling even more uneasy when her teacher suddenly asked about Huo Yao. However, she simply said calmly, “She is just a freshman. What would she know?”

“I see,” acknowledged Qi Hui casually when he heard what his student said. He did not think otherwise of her comments.

Did it matter if she was the top scholar? After all, she was an Arts student. If she knew what she was looking at during the experiment, something would be seriously wrong.

Jiang Mingyue lowered her eyes slightly before she put on a quizzical tone and asked. “Mr. Qi, what’s wrong? Why did you suddenly ask about her?”

Qi Hui was still thinking about Zhao Lian’s biological computer, but he shook his head and replied in a preoccupied tone. “Nothing. I was just asking randomly.”

Although Jiang Mingyue did not know why Qi Hui reacted this way, he would not have reacted so nonchalantly if he was interested in Huo Yao.

Before long, the lift chimed when it got to the third floor.

The two of them walked out of the lift.

After they got to the office, Qi Hui went over to the water dispenser and poured Jiang Mingyue a glass of water. “Didn’t you say you had something to ask me? What is it?”

Jiang Mingyue nodded slightly as she thanked him for the water. “I wanted to talk to you about my thesis. I think my previous direction and objectives weren’t clear enough, so I reworked the article. Please take a look at it.”

Jiang Mingyue put down her water and retrieved the thesis from her bag. She handed it to Qi Hui.

Qi Hui took the new thesis from her. He glanced at Jiang Mingyue in surprise as he looked at it. “I thought your original thesis was very good. Prof Zhao even came over and asked to look at it in the morning.”

The moment Jiang Mingyue heard what he said, she looked surprised. After some time, she finally composed herself. “Prof Zhao? Why would he suddenly ask to see my thesis?”

Prof Zhao was the most senior professor in the Biology department. Also, he was a senior member of the research institute. Ever since he mentioned his intention of taking in a disciple, everyone wanted to do well in front of him. Since he rarely came to campus, bumping into him at school hinged entirely on one’s luck.

Although Jiang Mingyue was tempted when she heard that Prof Zhao was looking for a disciple, she knew she could not have it all since she was already Qi Hui’s student.

She simply could not help wondering if Prof Zhao wanted to take her in as his disciple when she heard him asking about her thesis.

Qi Hui had started reading Jiang Mingyue’s new thesis. The moment she asked, he simply shook his head. “He might have heard about one of the students submitting a paper to an international journal, so he took an interest.”

Jiang Mingyue pondered before she asked. “In that case… did he have any negative feedback on it?”

“No, he didn’t. Since he is a picky man, it must mean that he felt it was good. You must be at least better than 80% of the other students in the department,” said Qi Hui.

Although he did not know why Prof Zhao wanted to see her thesis, Jiang Mingyue was his student, so it made him look good when Prof Zhao asked about her work.
