Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 416: Chapter 263: Of course, we must support domestic awards! _2

It’s not the appearance but the temperament.

Both of them have a similar temperament, exuding an aura that’s not to be trifled with.

Zhao Yi was greeted at the desk, facing Wu Yanping, and he didn’t know what kind of expression to show.

Smile?

Serious?

Nervous?

"If it were an ordinary student, they would probably be very nervous, right?"

Zhao Yi pondered.

Wu Yanping seemed to be trying to lower her tone, asking casually, "Have you had lunch yet?"

"Not yet, just finished class."

Wu Yanping nodded and continued, "The reason I called you here today is to ask you if you have thought about what you want to do after graduation."

"After graduation?"

Zhao Yi immediately shook his head, "Graduation is still too early for me, right? I’ve just started my freshman year, and I still have more than three years."

"..."

Wu Yanping realized that her first sentence had deviated from the topic, so she tried to correct it, "I just want to chat with you, don’t think too much, treat me like one of your elders. You see, Zhao Yi, you are a genius in our college, and you would be considered a genius in other colleges as well."

"There are many geniuses in the world, and the education of geniuses is often different."

"In the past few years at Shuimu University, there were two very young students, one was 15 years old when they entered, and the other was only 16 years old. Another student from Capital University completed their undergraduate studies in just two and a half years."

"Zhao Yi, you are more talented than them, so I was wondering, have you ever considered graduating directly?"

Zhao Yi nodded along and then asked, "What would I do after graduation?"

"..."

Wu Yanping felt a sense of familiarity, wasn’t that her question just now?

She took a deep breath and analyzed, "You are now a researcher at the Biomedical Research Institute. If you get your diploma, you can become a formal researcher."

"But whether I become formal or not doesn’t make a difference to me. I already have my own laboratory anyway, and I don’t rely on this job for a living." Zhao Yi meant that regardless of whether he worked or not, the laboratory was for research within the system, there were no projects that could be taken over by outsiders, and it wouldn’t make much money.

Although money can’t measure a job’s worth, at least the majority of people work for money, even in the field of scientific research.

Wu Yanping took another deep breath, "Starting work directly might be too early for you. I think you can consider continuing to pursue a master’s degree. You have a laboratory at the Biomedical Research Institute and have already made achievements. The College can give you the green light, guaranteeing that you can get a master’s degree within half a year."

Zhao Yi bluntly said, "But I still don’t see much point. A degree doesn’t seem to be of much use to me!"

That’s true.

With Zhao Yi’s achievements in various fields, he has already received many awards and can be hired as a professor at any university, without needing an academic degree for support. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Wu Yanping quickly racked her brains and continued, "Haven’t you ever considered studying abroad? Going abroad, seeing the world, attending the top universities like Cambridge, Oxford, Harvard, Princeton, and so on."

Zhao Yi shook his head, "No."

"Why?"

"When I was applying for college, I could choose foreign schools, but I refused. If I were to go abroad, I’d rather travel instead of studying. Besides, I’m still young and haven’t thought about studying abroad yet. Wouldn’t it be better to wait until after my undergraduate degree, then go abroad to pursue a master’s degree? I see a lot of people doing this."

"...You’re different."

"No, I’m not."

Zhao Yi humbly said, "Dean Wu, just treat me like an ordinary student."

Wu Yanping realized the conversation was going off track and hurriedly brought it back, "So you don’t want to graduate early and make important choices for the next stage of your life?"

"No."

Zhao Yi shook his head, "I understand what you mean. You hope I will graduate early? But I think graduation is still too early for me. I can learn a lot from my everyday courses, and there’s no benefit in graduating early."

"For example, today’s calculus class was crucial and very helpful for my upcoming research."

"Really?"

Wu Yanping didn’t understand, but one thing she was sure of, Zhao Yi simply didn’t want to graduate early.

So, what more could she say?

"I respect your decision." Wu Yanping finally said, her face showed no signs of frustration but instead held a hint of a smile.

Her mood was good.

Although others had urged her to try to persuade Zhao Yi to graduate, she thought it wasn’t bad for him to continue his undergraduate studies, as he would stay in the College of Life Sciences. freewёbnoνel.com

If Zhao Yi graduated from his undergraduate studies, who knew where he would go for his master’s degree? Even if he entered the workforce directly, he would most likely go to the School of Sciences, where his professorship was. Even if he continued to work at the Biomedical Research Institute, it seemed like his relationship with the College of Life Sciences would not be as strong.

So, Zhao Yi continuing his undergraduate studies was not a bad thing.

Anyway, she had done what she should, and no one else could say anything about it.

After Zhao Yi left the office, only a few people entered shortly, including Hu Zhibin, Gao Yihua, and several other professors.

Immediately after entering, they couldn’t help but ask, "How did it go, Dean Wu?"
