Chapter 808: Accepted A Talented Student

The freshmen had to report to university at the end of August, so there were a lot of people on campus at this time.

Since Huo Yao was taken on a tour of Tsing University by Yi Lianfan’s cousin last year, she knew her way to the Physics department. However, her first major was in Biology, so she headed to the Biology Dept first.

A lot more freshmen had applied for Biology this year. When Huo Yao arrived at the department, several people were in the middle of filling in the paperwork with some other students waiting outside.

Since she was in no hurry, she queued up behind them.

They introduced themselves and started chatting, but Huo Yao did not join in the conversation. Instead, she took her phone out and scrolled through it.

She had received a text message from Prof Rong of the Physics department about ten minutes ago: [Are you at school yet?]

Huo Yao composed a reply: [Yes, I will come over after reporting at the Biology department.]

Rong Jun had just taken a seat at the school meeting. Since the meeting had yet to commence, he was chatting with a teacher from another department. His eyes lit up when his phone pinged in his pocket. He promptly stopped talking and reached for his phone.

Rong Jun felt a little jealous after reading the text message, but he was still relatively happy. He texted Huo Yao and said he was waiting for her before putting his phone away.

The teacher from another department noticed the good mood he was in, so he smiled and asked. “Prof Rong, did something good happen?”

Rong Jun raised his chin slightly and answered candidly. “That’s right. We just accepted a pretty talented student this year.”

Although Rong Jun had yet to register Huo Yao as a Physics student, he already treated her as a member of the faculty.

The teacher automatically said, “Does this mean that the top science scholar has enrolled in the Physics department?”

Tsing University had the best students in the country, so even though he said it was only a pretty talented student, it meant this student must have come in at least top ten in the country for the national college entrance exam.

Since the student could gain the favor of Prof Rong, he ought to be the top science scholar.

“Nope.” Rong Jun shook his head. The top science scholar this year was Cheng Jie. He made it very clear that he only wanted to study Math and had no intention of doing a double major, so Rong Jun did not insist.

The teacher from the other faculty felt rather surprised when he heard this. “Then are you talking about the student who came in second? He only lost by one mark, so his grades are solid too.”

The teacher paused before he lamented. “In comparison to the top science scholar, the top arts scholar did much better. No one else has scored full marks for years. Sadly, she did not want to join the Business faculty. I wonder which faculty she eventually joined.”

Rong Jun cleared his throat and wanted to tell him badly that she was stolen by the Physics department. Since she had yet to register, he suppressed his urge to say this.

Zhao Lian finally arrived. After entering the conference room, he walked up to Rong Jun and sat down at an empty seat beside him. He recalled the way Rong Jun kept trying to steal Huo Yao from him last semester.

“Prof Rong, the freshmen are all here to report for their respective departments,” said Zhao Lian airily.

Rong Jun could tell he was here to brag. He scoffed and did not even glance at Zhao Lian. “I’m sorry. I don’t know you that well.”

Zhao Lian went speechless.

After waiting for slightly over ten minutes, it was finally Huo Yao’s turn to register.
