"In the interest of fairness, name the subject you're good at and we'll test you on that . Of course, that subject has to do with the research conducted here . But don't you worry . We are not going to expect you to know everything so as long as you can pass the test in your proficient field then we'll consider you victorious," Ruobing said magnanimously . This time she could afford to be more honest .
However, the fact that she only revealed this information after Xinghe had accepted the challenge was indeed a bit below the belt . She should have told Xinghe beforehand it was not her she would be challenging but the experts there .
Luo Jun predicted this was the trick she was playing so he regretted not stopping Xinghe when he had the chance .
After all, the most difficult challenge wasn't going to come from Yun Ruobing but the scientists and professors there .
No matter how talented Xinghe might be, she was still young, how could she compete with decades of experience?
Not to mention the other restriction laid down by Ruobing . The subject she named must be related to the research done at the lab .
That would mean subjects like mathematics, physics, biology, or computer science .
None of these subjects were easy to pick up . How was it possible that Xinghe master any one of these subjects at her young age?
AdvertisementIn any case, no one was on her side, there was no reason to .
All but one…
Standing outside the door, a large man studied Xinghe closely, his pair of eyes lighting up with excitement .
He believed Xinghe is capable of surprising everyone there .
Of course, other than this mysterious man, the biggest supporter for Xinghe was herself!
She had been climbing her way back with no one's help but her own after all .
She wasn't at all affected by Ruobing's little trick . She didn't care who her opponent was .
"Well, at least you still know your limits and let someone else compete in your place . And here I was being afraid that the challenge would be over way too fast," She even managed to sneak in a zinger .
"You…" Ruobing gritted her teeth in anger but soon realized Xinghe's arrogance might work in her favor . This way she could openly get the best professor to deal with Xinghe .
"Enough talk . Tell me what your desired subjects are . "
"I'm quite familiar with computer science and mathematics . " Xinghe also knew a thing or two about biology, physics, and other hard sciences but there was no need to tip her hand .
"Fine, then the test shall be on mathematics and computer science!" Ruobing could barely suppress the smile that threatened to appear on her lips .
She thought Xinghe will only say computer science since the little hacking incident did showcase her prowess in it, but mathematics?
The subject was a complicated and hard to master field of study .
Even if she was lucky enough to pass the test on computer science, she was bound to fail when it came to the mathematics test .
A complex mathematical equation was more than enough to drive her away!
Ruobing couldn't wait to see this woman, that challenged her authority, leave .
Perhaps it was jealousy between women, but the more confidently Xinghe presented herself, the more Ruobing felt like subduing her .
She would not allow a second woman to steal her spotlight .
The test was to be held inside a lab .
It was home to the latest super computer so the room was spacious enough to fit many people .
Normally, the lab was used during group experiments but for that day, it was to be a testing ground .
The crowd followed them into the lab, hoping to watch the spectacle .
Work in the lab was rather mundane and tedious so whenever a challenge like this occurred, it was quite a welcome distraction .
It took their minds off the humdrum of work and offered an opportunity for them to improve their knowledge through an amusing manner .
However, they probably wouldn't be able to learn anything from the challenge that day .
