78 Bigshot Is A Genius
As Zhong Kai picked up the food, he said, “Miss Gu Rou, aren’t you being too prejudiced? As soon as you came in, you convicted me without even asking. I can completely say that you’re slandering me.”
When Gu Rou heard this, she felt that the other party was just pretending to be strong.
She said aggrievedly, “I just wanted to help Gu Man uncover the truth, but I was threatened for no reason. Are you even being reasonable?”
Madam Zhang looked at Gu Man, a girl, who was being confronted by three people. Although she had no intention of caring about Gu Man anymore, she couldn’t help but say, “Sir, why are you making it sound so serious? Right now, you just have to prove your identity and let us know the truth. Gu Rou also graduated from Zhong Chu University, but she doesn’t know you. How can we trust you?”
When Zhuang Yan heard this, she burst out laughing. She said mockingly, “Madam, there are more than 60 departments in Zhong Chu University and more than 10,000 faculty members. It’s already not bad that Gu Rou can recognize the teachers in her school. She still wants to know all the teachers in the entire school? What a joke!”
Madam Zhang’s face flushed red from this conversation and she was speechless for a long time.
Seeing Madam Zhang’s ugly expression, Gu Rou quickly said, “Teacher Zhuang, it’s normal for Auntie Zhang not to know about this. You shouldn’t mock her like this.”
“I’m not laughing at her. I’m laughing at you,” Zhuang Yan replied.
Gu Rou choked and her face turned red.
She did barely recognize the teachers of her department. She did not recognize any other teachers from other schools other than the extremely well-known ones.
“Alright, Gu Rou, right? My time is precious and I don’t want to talk to you anymore. You just said that you’re from Zhong Chu University. Which school are you from?” Zhong Kai didn’t want to waste his time on these people.
“The Art School.” Gu Rou saw that although Zhong Kai was frustrated, there was no trace of panic on his face. Her suspicions from before were shaken.
Zhong Kai continued, “I know Professor Wei Ji and Professor Mai Nan from the art school. Do you want me to call them to prove my identity?”
Zhong Kai still asked gently, as if he was just chatting with a friend. However, such gentle words actually made Gu Rou panic.
Professor Wei Ji was the director of the art school, and Professor Mai Nan was her graduation mentor.
He actually said that he knew him. Could he really be a teacher at Zhong Chu University?
Before Gu Rou could come back to her senses, Zhong Kai had already made a call and put it on speaker.
A clear voice came from the other end of the line. “Old Zhong, didn’t you go to Han City to meet a physics genius? You’re back?”
Gu Rou was familiar with that voice. It was Professor Mai Nan’s voice.
Zhong Kai said helplessly, “Old Mai, do you still remember a student called Gu Rou?”
“I remember. She graduated two years ago. Her guzheng is extremely outstanding and she’s known as the Guzheng Princess of our department. Why are you talking about her?”
When Gu Rou heard this, she was already sure that the other party was really a teacher from Zhong Chu University.
“The little genius I’m looking for is Gu Rou’s sister.”
“What a coincidence! So she’s a genius? Hurry up and recruit her. Otherwise, your Hua Guang Physics Academy will become a monk academy...”
Hearing that Professor Mai Nan was showing signs of talking non-stop, Zhong Kai quickly interrupted, “I’ll find you for dinner when we get back. I’ll hang up first.”
After hanging up, Zhong Kai looked at Gu Rou. “I wonder if Miss Gu Rou believes my identity after hearing this?”
Of course, Gu Rou confirmed Zhong Kai’s identity. She quickly apologized, “Teacher Zhong, I misunderstood you. Gu Man didn’t tell our family in advance when she came out. I was anxious and rude.”
Seeing that Gu Rou immediately changed the way she addressed her, Gu Man almost bit her tongue. She was really fast in changing.
Seeing that Gu Rou was apologizing sincerely, he didn’t want to make things difficult for her, Zhong Kai said sternly, “I don’t care if you’re being reckless or doing it on purpose. If you’re really thinking for Gu Man, you shouldn’t have taken such a method.”
Be it reckless or intentional, these two accusations were enough for Gu Rou to suffer.
“Teacher Zhong, please believe that I have my difficulties. Gu Man usually doesn’t even greet her family when she comes out. Sometimes, she goes out until midnight and doesn’t come back. I don’t see her studying hard usually. She only goes out to cause trouble. How can I not be worried?”
When Zhong Kai heard this, he frowned slightly. Was Gu Man really like this usually?
Gu Rou looked at Zhong Kai’s expression and was secretly proud.
