Two men stood there, both around fifty years old and wearing thick glasses. Their hair was gray, with patches of silver at their temples.
From their appearance, Chloe Sinclair could tell at a glance that the two professors were from the neighboring School of Mathematics.
At that moment, the slightly chubbier of the two stepped forward and said, "Hello there, miss."
Chloe Sinclair quickly bowed and greeted them, "Hello, Professors."
The man was quite pleased by her gesture and replied almost immediately, "Hello. Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Gordon Quinn, a professor from the neighboring School of Mathematics."
Chloe Sinclair was stunned.
She didn’t know much about mathematics, but the name Gordon Quinn was legendary.
Despite his relatively young age, he was a titan in the world of mathematics—the creator of a famous algorithm and one of the most respected figures in the field globally.
To have such a titan of his field come to see her left Chloe Sinclair more than a little surprised. For a moment, she was completely at a loss.
"Professor, why have you come to see me?"
She doubted that a titan of academia would come all the way to the School of Physics just for a simple meeting with her.
Gordon Quinn hadn’t expected Chloe Sinclair to be so blunt. He gave a wry smile.
He didn’t hide his intentions and told Chloe Sinclair exactly what was on his mind.
"We’ve all read your paper in the Mathematics Annual Journal," he said. "We think you’re an exceptionally bright student. It would be a real shame if you didn’t study mathematics."
As he spoke, his gaze was fixed on Chloe Sinclair.
Chloe Sinclair was about to speak, but Gordon Quinn cut her off.
"I know you’ve turned down many professors from the School of Mathematics, but I want to extend another invitation for you to join us."
With that, Gordon Quinn pulled a document from his portfolio and continued, "Rest assured, we at the School of Mathematics will guarantee you have plenty of time to study Physics. Take a good look at this form, and think it over tonight. There’s no rush for an answer."
Chloe Sinclair glanced down. It was a paper application for a dual degree.
She instinctively glanced over at the professors from her own School of Physics.
