Chapter 832 How Did She Do In The Exam?
When Professor Wilson heard the counselor, he couldn’t help but shrug. “The papers have only just been collected. They haven’t been given to me yet, so…”
He couldn’t see Nora’s test paper, either.
The counselor sighed. “Never mind then!”
Professor Wilson asked curiously, “Are her grades very good? I happen to need two undergraduates as assistants in my lab. If her grades are excellent, then I can consider her for the position…”
“Oh, no.” The counselor explained, “She’s an exchange student from America. Oscar doesn’t want to guide her anymore, so I was thinking that if she could at least score a C, then I can try talking to Oscar about it again.”
Upon hearing this, Professor Wilson waved and said, “Oh, an exchange student from America? The students from that school are terrible, so I doubt she can score a C. Even in her best condition, the highest she can score is probably just a D. I’ll go a little easy on her!”
The counselor nodded.
She thought for a while and suddenly said, “Professor, you said just now that your lab needs assistants from the undergraduates, right? You’ll definitely want Oscar, so why don’t you take Lisa too? As an exchange student, everyone looks down on her. If you let her help out at the lab, maybe she’ll be motivated to do better!”
Professor Wilson thought for a while and shook his head. “I only want Oscar. My experiment requires the assistants to go to the archives to refer to the materials there, so I didn’t even pick that many postgraduate students. It is impossible for me to accept someone who doesn’t know anything into the team.”
The counselor frowned and said, “But our school treats the exchange students so coldly every year, which reflects really badly on us. This year, the school has ordered me to treat Lisa well. Besides, Lisa is so pretty, she’s the prettiest among all the exchange students I have seen. She has an indescribable mysterious feeling about her…”
Before she could finish, Professor Wilson interrupted her. “I see, you want me to accept her so that it looks like our course values the exchange students, right? But there are many professors conducting experiments, it doesn’t necessarily have to be me. I can recommend someone.”
The counselor blinked. “You mean…?”
“The university’s deserter, of course. Didn’t that guy come back this year? The one who takes a salary from the school every month but doesn’t do his job? I heard that he plans to set up an experiment lab! Can’t you just shove Lisa into his lab?”
The counselor understood at once. “You’re referring to Professor Myers? But Professor Myers was the best professor of microbiology in the past. Will he accept an exchange student?”
Wilson smiled. “Wayne Myers is also from America, so who knows? You can try asking him. Besides, you said it yourself—that was all in the past. Do you think he is still the best when more than twenty years have already passed? I heard that his lab hasn’t gotten any investors so far and neither have any students applied to be under him.”
When Wayne disappeared more than twenty years ago, everyone had said that he left to go into business. This was because he had kept asking people from the university’s School of Economics and Business Management business-related questions.
It was said that his company didn’t do very well, so he had returned to campus.
Many looked down on him upon his return. Everyone privately mocked him for living in the past and thinking that he was still the best microbiology professor, which had made him set extremely strict standards for students applying to join his projects.
As a result, he still hadn’t established a team for his project. Additionally, no one was investing in his project.
The counselor found Wilson’s suggestion perfunctory but when she thought about how Oscar had rejected Lisa, she was afraid that even Lisa would give up on herself if she didn’t arrange for Lisa to be assigned to a lab.
She could only say, “I’ll try talking to him!”
For Lisa, she had to bite the bullet and give it a go.
After saying this, she turned and saw a cranky figure at the door.
Wayne stared at Wilson.
The two could be said to be old friends. Wilson had competed with him back then but he didn’t expect him to have become so despicable.
Didn’t he just take care of Idealian Pharmaceuticals for Ms. Yvette for a few years? Yet they were now taking him for a nobody?
ere no
They were too much!
Wayne was a chatterbox from the start and was incredibly naggy. He was so furious that he started ranting.
“Wilson, you piece of garbage, how dare you look down on me like that? You couldn’t catch up with me back then, no matter how hard you tried. I was in first place while you were the perennial second. Yet now you’re shoving a student you don’t want to me? Do you think I will take them? You… #?%@…”
Wayne ranted at him for a whole ten minutes without any pause in between, causing both Wilson and the counselor to be dumbfounded.
When Wayne finally stopped, the counselor hurriedly said, “Professor Myers, that’s not the case. Lisa is a good student…”
Before she could finish, Wayne retorted furiously, “Do you think there is something wrong with my brain? Would I accept someone Wilson doesn’t want? I’m not stupid! I… #?@%…”
He scolded Wilson for ten minutes without any pause, again.
After he was done, he became thirsty, so he picked up a glass and poured himself a glass of water.
Wilson glanced at the counselor and suddenly said, “Since Myers doesn’t want her either, then let’s just forget it. American students are poor in their studies anyway, so neither of us would want them in our labs, isn’t that right, Myers?”
His provocation angered Wayne instantly. “F*ck you! Who are you looking down on? I’m an American myself! American students are not poor in their studies at all!”
Wilson waved and said, “The facts are right in front of you. I don’t want that American student and neither do you. If American students are really that excellent, then why wouldn’t you want them?”
Wayne, who had been checkmated, was a little at a loss for words. “Just like the ones here, there are good and bad students in America. How can you lump them all together?”
Wilson said, “But Lisa is already the best student there, yet neither you nor I want her, SO… I can only say that American students are simply too lousy in biomedical engineering.”
When Wayne became the best microbiology professor back then, he had made his country proud.
There might not be any borders in science but there were among scientists!
Now that Wilson was driving him into a corner like this, would he be able to bear it?
He immediately said, “Who says I don’t want her? I want her! I just don’t want your rejects, that’s all. Ha, but if you let me pick from all the students in the class, I would definitely pick her. What’s her name again…”
The counselor hurriedly replied, “Lisa.”
Wayne nodded. “Yes, Lisa! She is the most pleasing to the eye among all the students in the class. I’ll take her! Students from America are not inferior in any way at all!”
Wilson smiled. “Myers, you have to think through this. That student’s grades are very poor, you know…”
“Ha, just because she has poor grades doesn’t mean that she’s not talented! Maybe she’s just not good at exams. Wilson, you are being biased by evaluating a student like that! Besides, they’ve only just finished the exam, so their grades aren’t even out yet! How are you so sure that her grades are bad?”
Wayne was puffing himself up at his own cost right now!
No matter what, he had to accept Lisa into his lab team today. He mustn’t let anyone think that American students were totally unwanted here!
At the very worst, he’d just let her mooch off the team.
While he was thinking about it, the test papers from the exam were delivered to the office.
Wilson’s eyes lit up. “The test papers are here. Let’s find Lisa’s and take a look? Didn’t you want to know whether Lisa would get a D or an E just now?”
The counselor: “…”
She didn’t want to know anymore!
When the counselor proposed to let Lisa join a lab project, she had really only done it for the student’s interests and only wanted to boost her confidence. She didn’t expect it to turn into an excuse for Wilson and Wayne to fight.
She was extremely grateful to Wayne for accepting the student, so she didn’t want to embarrass him.
But just as she was about to speak, Wilson had already found Lisa’s paper from among the stack of test papers. He smiled and said, “Come on, let’s see just how ‘excellent’ this student from America is.”
He sounded mocking when he said ‘excellent’.
After speaking, he even looked at Wayne and said, “Come on, Myers, let’s take a look together.”
