Except, under normal circumstances, advising professors would not agree to a student changing their topic midway through—especially when the new topic the student wanted to switch to severely exceeded the scope of their own major.

But unfortunately for the skeptics, Ao Ruize wasn’t an ordinary student. Coupled with his resolute insistence, and the fact that he even threw out the words that he would pay for the equipment usage fees and material purchasing fees himself. Most importantly, he actually genuinely passed the assessment set up by the school.

Looking at the test papers in their hands, where the lowest score was a 148, the school administrators were truly a bit dumbfounded.

In reality, they hadn’t originally intended to let Ao Ruize pass this assessment at all. So for these test papers, they had directly used this year’s graduate school entrance exam professional course questions for Jingcheng University’s Electrical Engineering, Automation, and Materials Science majors—

After all, Ao Ruize was currently right on the cusp of a storm. If they agreed to Ao Ruize’s application, once word got out, who knew how many netizens would attack Ao Ruize for using his celebrity influence to act recklessly? By association, their school would probably also be branded with the label of a dignified public university casually granting special privileges to a tiny little star.

But now, they didn’t seem to have anything left to worry about.

So the principal said solemnly: “Alright, we have approved your application. The school will dispatch a professor from the relevant major to guide you.”

Although they had no idea how Ao Ruize—a Chemistry major student who historically slacked off three days out of five and barely scraped by with passing grades—managed to score so high.
Nor did they know why Ao Ruize suddenly wanted to change his topic.

And precisely because of this, the next day, Professor Liu—who was dispatched by the school to guide Ao Ruize and had already achieved a certain level of success in the field of electronic touch screens—spoke with a rather amiable tone after meeting Ao Ruize.

“Have a seat.”

He pointed to the sofa opposite him: “Student Xia, don’t worry. For the next few months, I will teach you properly.”

He added: “Add me on WeChat. Considering you haven’t had much contact with this field before, I’ll send you some relevant materials later for you to look over.”

Ao Ruize immediately took out his phone and added Professor Liu on WeChat.

While putting his phone away, Professor Liu said: “Within a week, can you submit your project proposal…”

Only this time, before he could finish his sentence, Ao Ruize interrupted him: “I’ve already written it.”

Professor Liu: “What?”

Ao Ruize: “And the thesis is pretty much written too.”

As he spoke, Ao Ruize handed the document in his hands to Professor Liu.

Professor Liu subconsciously took the document.
By the time he realized what he was doing, he had already opened it.

So even though his stomach was full of confusion, he continued reading anyway.

Then, just as he read the opening, he couldn’t help but adjust the glasses on his nose. Following closely, the expression on his face slowly turned serious.

And then, while flipping through the document, he couldn’t resist turning on the computer beside him and looking up relevant materials.

It wasn’t until two hours later that he finally completely put down the document.

When he looked at Ao Ruize again, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath to suppress the excitement at the bottom of his heart.

He directly stood up and poured a cup of tea for Ao Ruize: “Student Xia, don’t worry. For the next few months, I will properly cooperate with you.”

Ao Ruize smiled and nodded: “Then I’ll be troubling Professor Liu.”

Of course, with only two days’ time, no matter how incredible he was, he couldn’t possibly create such a perfect design from scratch.

So he had merely spent two days digging this design out of his memories.

If he remembered correctly, this should be something he invented the last time he went down to a small world for a vacation… mm, which was over forty thousand years ago.

In that small world, his persona seemed to have been a genius scientist.

So to a certain extent, this could be considered recycling waste.

However, precisely because the era was too ancient, he had unavoidably forgotten some experimental elements. Coupled with the fact that the materials in this small world seemed to differ somewhat from the materials in that small world, this design still needed some adjustments.

And the reason he chose to return to the original owner’s school to do this experiment was, of course, because there were ready-made experimental instruments and manpower here, which could save him quite a bit of time.

But what Ao Ruize didn’t expect was that while he originally thought the school’s instruments should be sufficient for him to complete the entire experiment, in reality, he had still overestimated the capabilities of a vocational college.

“It can’t be helped.”
“Vocational colleges are already at the very bottom tier among higher education institutions. Plus, there are simply too many vocational schools in Hai City. The Ministry of Education only allocates that tiny bit of money to universities in Hai City every year, and the vast majority of it is taken by those four key universities. You can easily imagine how much actually trickles down to our school.”

Professor Liu said: “Furthermore, the year before last, in order to upgrade from a junior college to a bachelor’s degree-granting institution, our school borrowed a massive sum of money from the bank to improve the school’s environment. And this money still hasn’t been fully paid back yet! So for these past two years, the school genuinely hasn’t been able to produce much money to purchase experimental equipment.”

Of course, if they had succeeded two years ago, with Xia Ruize’s utterly garbage grades, he wouldn’t have even been able to enter their school’s front gates.

Although they could also run to other schools and borrow their equipment to do it, if they did that, the risk of leaks would simply be too great.

Ao Ruize: “…Alright then.”
“Then I’ll try to think of another way.”

The main issue was that the original owner only had a little over 400,000 yuan on hand—after all, it had only been a year and a half since his debut, and his sudden explosion in popularity was something that only happened in the last few months.

The Xia family used to transfer 20,000 yuan of pocket money to him every month. However, because he cursed out Su Yiyue two days ago and blacklisted their entire family, the Xia family had cut off his card that very same afternoon.

And this little bit of money was genuinely not enough to even look at in the face of the instruments he needed to use, which easily cost over a million.

However, making money was still very simple for him. To go far, he could just take a stroll through the stock market; to stay close, he could steal a few more spirit stones from the milk dumpling, trade them with the giant grass carp for a pearl mussel, extract a few pearls, and sell them.

But Ao Ruize had no intention of doing that.

Because wasn’t this a perfect, open, and aboveboard opportunity to seduce his wife?

And so that night, Qin Xiuyan, who just happened to be on a business trip in Hai City, returned to his hotel. The moment he opened his room door, he saw Ao Ruize currently sitting on the sofa.

Qin Xiuyan: “…”
Secretary: “…”

The key point was that in the next second, Qin Xiuyan reflexively turned around and forcefully slammed the door shut again.

The secretary, who was directly hit by the door again and almost fell flat on his face because he couldn’t stand steadily: “…”

And Qin Xiuyan, who had reacted to what he just did again: “…”

The key point was that this time, the clothes on Ao Ruize’s body were perfectly neat and tidy, and he wasn’t lying on his bed.

So why the hell had he panicked again?

Qin Xiuyan took a deep breath: “Mr. Xia, why are you here again?”

He didn’t expect Ao Ruize to have a completely serious face: “Little President Qin, don’t worry. I’m not here to climb into your bed today.”

Qin Xiuyan: “…”

Qin Xiuyan actually felt a little guilty.
Because he had genuinely originally thought Ao Ruize was here to offer himself up again.

He never expected that he had actually misunderstood Ao Ruize.

Then he heard Ao Ruize say: “It’s like this. My cash flow is a little tight recently. I wonder if Little President Qin could lend me a sum of money to tide me over?”

Qin Xiuyan: “Of course.”
“How much do you need to borrow?”

Ao Ruize: “Ten million.”
Most importantly, he subsequently added a sentence: “I will return it to you in half a year at the latest.”

Qin Xiuyan didn’t hesitate: “Alright.”

Ao Ruize subsequently took out his phone: “Then let’s add each other on WeChat first, to make it easier for me to return the money to you.”

Qin Xiuyan didn’t suspect a thing. He immediately took out his phone and added Ao Ruize’s WeChat.

Then Ao Ruize directly left.

Qin Xiuyan couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, and even felt faintly proud.
Because he never expected that Ao Ruize would actually genuinely turn back from his misguided path under his persuasion.

Of course, if Ao Ruize didn’t post photos of himself working out shirtless at the gym in his WeChat Moments every single day, it would be even better.
