Chapter 154 Impressed!
when chen yiwen led the four junior sisters out of the third canteen, the previously silent girls instantly became lively and chattered excitedly.
"wow, god qiao is just too cool, isn't he?"
"yes, yes, he's different from what i imagined, but in some ways, he's exactly what i thought he'd be."
"exactly, exactly, the pressure he gives off is so intense. it's even greater than the dean's pressure. at least dean xu speaks to us with a smile, but god qiao just glanced at me and, that feeling, that feeling... ah, i don't even know how to describe it."
"what's there to describe? i bet god qiao was thinking, 'i hope these girls aren't as foolish as that guy from the materials science college.'"
"haha, han jiaqi, you're the fool here! we certainly are not." find more chapters on empire
"stop joking around, did you guys notice that from the moment he walked into the private room until we finished eating, he didn't say a word? he didn't even greet the dean."
"he may not have spoken, but he actually did greet the dean and chen. i noticed that when he came in, he nodded at both of them."
"right, i saw that too. the dean even stood up specifically, smiling and gesturing for qiao ze to sit beside him, then qiao ze nodded and sat down. that must have been the greeting, right, chen?"
chen yiwen replied with a smile, "yes, that's how god qiao greets people in the project group, he treats everyone the same. not just the dean, there was even an academician who proactively sought him out for a discussion, and he treated him no differently. the main thing is equality."
after finishing, chen yiwen glanced at deng tingting, who had been quietly hanging her head and hadn't spoken, and added, "however, there are a few exceptions. god qiao can have more extensive conversations with professor li at school, and then there's su mucheng whom you met today. aside from these two, qiao ze doesn't talk much to anyone else. oh, and his mom."
"which professor li is that?" deng tingting finally raised her head slightly and asked curiously.
"a professor who teaches 'modern algebra' during the undergraduate stage, but you freshmen won't encounter him yet. you have to wait until your junior year to choose his courses, which are quite hard to get into now, what with the fast fingers needed.
risk-taking indeed paid off. in chen yiwen's view, a boy like qiao ze would probably only cause girls like su mucheng to commit unconditionally, whereas other girls, unless they had ulterior motives, were unlikely to be attracted.
because some people are meant to be admired, not to coexist with on a day-to-day basis.
like qiao ze.
...
meanwhile, qiao ze, su mucheng, and hanna were on their way back to the lab.
"that dean xu seems to really listen to qiao ze, doesn't she?" after leaving the canteen, hanna couldn't help but ask.
"of course, and it's not just listening well, you know, dean xu is utterly deferential to my qiao." su mucheng said proudly, tilting her head up.
just by looking at her expression, you'd think the dean made a point of being deferential to her.
hanna glanced at su mucheng, shrugged her shoulders and said, "okay, that's indeed hard to understand. when i was at school, i asked the international students from huaxia, and they told me huaxia isn't like that."
"normally, it isn't like that, no."
su mucheng patiently explained, "but qiao ze has discussed this issue with me before. it's all because of inverted demand. your understanding of huaxia abroad is one-sided, or rather, most people's understanding is one-sided. huaxia is the real paradise of pragmatism."
"oh? is that so?" hanna said thoughtfully.
"absolutely. in huaxia, if you have the capacity, you can definitely live comfortably. if your abilities are extraordinary, then your comfort will be extraordinary. although it's not a hundred percent guaranteed, it's true in most cases.
not to hide it from you, but qiao once told me after studying history that the vast majority of people in huaxia also adopt their beliefs from a pragmatic standpoint."
