Chapter 367: Forget About Dating Out Of Your League

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio , Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The organizers of the medical conference said that they would like to inject some fun activities or programs into the conference, or it would be too boring.

Professor Chen thought of his student right away. He was going to bring her to the conference anyway. If he let her dance, it would increase her popularity and gain him prestige.

When the conference started, Professor Chen met up with a few old friends, who all brought their disciples along to the conference.

These high achievers were either graduate students, PhD students, all elites from various cities. His old friends were all bragging about how outstanding their disciples were.

Professor Chen kept quiet and watched them brag.

It felt very much like parents who couldn’t help but brag about their children. Professor Li, another big shot in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, was a close friend of Professor Chen’s. He asked Professor Chen with a smile why he didn’t bring along his favorite students today.

Professor Chen used to bring Song Kai and Lu Fan to these events. Both of them were tall, handsome, and lively. They were very popular with his old friends.

Professor Chen called out to Tang Beibei proudly. Tang Beibei, who was carrying her school bag and looking for her laptop, ran over when she heard Professor Chen call her.

“Professor, you called me over for something?

Professor Chen said calmly, “I have a few old friends who would like to meet you, so I’m letting them meet you.”

Tang Beibei didn’t know the other old men, but since they were Professor Chen’s friends, they were definitely not ordinary people. She bowed respectfully.

“Hello, teachers. I’m Tang Beibei, Professor Chen’s student.”

Professor Li was surprised to see a young and beautiful girl and asked, “You look very young. Are you a freshman?”

Tang Beibei shook her head. “I’m a sophomore.

Professor Li was shocked. This girl was only in her second year, yet Chen brought her out to see the world. He did not know if she was lucky or because she was good-looking.

When the other professors saw Professor Chen bring such a young girl along, they had strange expressions on their faces. “Chen, this girl is really pretty.

She’s only in her second year. Did you bring her here to watch the excitement. Since it was a medical conference, the attendees must have done some work or specialized in some medical research, or they wouldn’t be able to understand the lectures and discussions at the conference.

Tang Beibei was only a sophomore. She was like a child in front of a group of medical bigwigs.

Professor Chen snorted and pointed at Tang Beibei. “She’s not here to watch the excitement. She won a dance championship last month and even had time to help me translate my research paper.”

“She’s a good dancer. What does that have anything to do with medicine?”

Someone asked in disdain.

Professor Chen scoffed and glared at the person who spoke. It was his swom enemy, Cao Xun.

“I don’t blame you for being ignorant.”

“Some time ago, my student saved Qu Group CEO’s wife, Madam Wu. Madam

Wu had appointed her to assist in treating her illness.”

“YOU researchers, no matter how many words you write, if you haven’t actually solved the problem, your research is just a pile of waste paper.”

Cao Xun was angry at being scolded for being ignorant. He snorted coldly. -What do you mean by our research can’t solve practical problems? It’s your research that’s not as good as mine. You’re just jealous of me.

Professor Chen sneered scornfully. “Me jealous of you? Why would I be jealous?”

“I do just as much research as you. Do you see more patients than me every year? You only stay in your research lab all day, study a bunch of data, and talk about technology. It’s ridiculous.”

“Old man, your thinking is outdated. This is the era of technology.” “Many illnesses can be treated with instruments and technology. It’s so much more efficient compared to your pulse-taking, cumbersome procedures and time-wasting patient interviews.” Cao Xun cursed angrily.

The people around them all felt helpless when they heard the two old-timers quarrel.

The two of them had always been competing in their research and quarreled whenever they met. The others did not dare to intervene for fear of being dragged in.

The two of them had very distinct views. One of them advocated scientific and technological examinations and moved with the times. But some illnesses still required human interaction and communication before the physician could prescribe the right treatment.

Neither of them was wrong. They just had different views.

In fact, these two people could complement each other, but because of their different views, they had become sworn enemies.

The quarrel between the two old-timers did not stop people from coming over to add Tang Beibei on WeChat.

Tang Beibei looked at the man holding out his phone. She was a little lost but she took out her phone and added him on WeChat.

The man smiled and said, “My name is Bai Qian. I may ask you for advice, hope you don’t mind.”

“Senior Bai Qian, you’re too polite.”

Tang Beibei smiled awkwardly. He was a graduate student; she should be the one asking him for advice, right?

One man approached her, then a second and a third.

These high achievers were usually in the research lab and did not interact much with girls, let alone beautiful women.

Tang Beibei was beautiful, had a good figure and looked good-natured. It was rare for the boys to meet such a girl. The few high achievers were all tempted.

Cao Xun saw his student add Tang Beibei on WeChat and suddenly laughed. “The student you brought this year is quite unique but I’m afraid she may join my camp in the future.”

Professor Chen glanced at him in disdain. “Do you think you are the sun, and the world revolves around you?

“My student, Bai Qian, comes from a good family. He’s tall and handsome, and a PhD student. His future is shining. No girl would turn him down.

Professor Chen rolled his eyes in disdain. “Stop dreaming. My student won’t like him.”

“Relationships between young people are built from spending time together. They’ve only just met. Don’t jump to conclusions too early.” Cao Xun said with a half-smile.

He thought that if his student successfully pursued Professor Chen’s favorite student, Professor Chen would lose another point to him.

Professor Chen mocked, “He can forget about dating out of his league.” At this moment, the emcee announced the start of the medical conference, and everyone sat down.

Every seat had a name on it. Professor Chen took Tang Beibei to find his seats. Perhaps the heavens were playing a joke on him, he and Cao Xun met again. Cao Xun saw that his student was staring at Tang Beibei and encouraged him with a smile, “Since you’ve taken a fancy to her, woo her. She must be outstanding to be able to become Professor Chen’s student.” Bai Qian was shy and excited when he heard his mentor’s advice.

“Teacher, I’ll do my best.”

Professor Chen looked at him as if he was looking at a fool. Then, he looked at his student. His expression turned even more disdainful.

He said to Tang Beibei, “Don’t forget who you are. Be careful in your words and actions.”

Tang Beibei said respectfully, “Yes, Professor.

Tang Beibei thought that Professor Chen was telling her not to embarrass him and to focus on the lecture later. She might even be asked to write a report after the conference.

Therefore, she listened very attentively to the medical lecture.

Bai Qian, who was sitting beside her, wanted to strike up a conversation several times but to no avail. He was a little depressed.

Professor Chen sipped his tea leisurely. He glanced at Cao Xun’s student and chuckled.

His favorite students, Lu Fan and Song Kai, the two most handsome boys in the school, hadn’t even been able to woo Tang Beibei. Who was this random boy who thought that he could win over Tang Beibei?

Dream on!

After the lecture ended, Tang Beibei checked the time and informed Professor Chen before she quickly ran out to change her clothes.

The boy asked curiously, “Professor Chen, where is Beibei going? Does she need help?”

-You won’t be able to help her.” Professor Chen said expressionlessly.

“What do you mean?”

Professor Chen scoffed. “My student is a professional dancer. You’re just a researcher nerd. Do you know what art is?

Professor Chen’s words were quite hurtful.
