Dean Huang was indeed a big shot in the physics department; his mentor was an academician of the Ma Institute, and a bunch of professors in the department were his loyal fans. Qi Jun and Yu Sheng couldn’t help but turn their heads.
Dean Huang, with his hands clasped behind his back, was slowly walking downstairs.
Next to him was a girl walking side by side with him.
The girl was dressed in a plain white blouse with a mandarin collar and a long white skirt, without any other decorations on her, extremely simple. Her dark hair was half-tied behind her head, and she slightly tilted her head while speaking with Dean Huang——
Qi Jun and Yu Sheng recognized her; it was Bai Lian!
A teaching assistant followed behind the two.
"Ning Xiao’s paper review should be over by now," Dean Huang’s hand behind his back carried a sealed envelope, revealing his good mood, "Their project is also about to officially kick off..."
The two were discussing matters.
It was evident that Dean Huang was in a good mood.
Qi Jun and Yu Sheng kept silent, watching as they left.
Not until Dean Huang and Bai Lian had left did Yu Sheng snap back to reality. "That was... Bai Lian, right?"
Last summer, Yu Sheng had seen Bai Lian, but at the time, she was just a randomly chosen team member by Xu Wenyao, so he didn’t pay much attention. It was not until Xu Wenyao’s team won the first prize and Bai Lian frequently appeared on the school’s forum that he took a solid interest in her.
"Xu Wenyao’s sister," someone nearby also recognized Bai Lian, "She actually knows Dean Huang?"
"A once-in-a-century genius from the Tongfeng class," someone shrugged, "It’s quite normal for Dean Huang to know her."
"I seem to recall Dean Huang intends to take on a student this year..."
At this statement, everyone fell silent. They didn’t have Dean Huang’s personal email, only the teaching assistant’s phone number.
Xu Wenyao had been first in both written and interview rounds, and his sister was Bai Lian; the likelihood seemed pretty high.
Qi Jun pursed his lips without uttering a word and headed for the lecture theater, followed by Yu Sheng.
They sat towards the back, and shortly after, Xu Wenyao and Chen Hong arrived.
"Wenyao, congratulations!" The class monitor stood up upon seeing Xu Wenyao, congratulating him, and patted Chen Hong on the shoulder, "And you, you sneaky guy, weren’t you the one who said you weren’t going to pursue postgraduate studies? Now you’ve passed both the written and interview rounds. Have you found an advisor?"
"I have, it’s Professor Lin," Chen Hong replied with a grin.
"Professor Lin?" Most of the class exclaimed in surprise.
Even Qi Jun’s heart skipped a beat, and he looked up in disbelief.
This year, aside from Dean Huang, the most popular mentor was Professor Lin, a direct-line professor at Jiang University who had participated in several key projects and published numerous papers.
Almost everyone had sent emails to Professor Lin, Qi Jun included.
