Chapter 8 Comrades, let's give the academic geniuses some respect!
Why accept it?
Hearing Luo Yao's answer, Xia Qing felt regretful.
Indeed, geniuses cannot tolerate criticism.
Just as she was about to say a few words to end the call, Luo Yao continued, "First, I need to analyze whether those criticisms are right or wrong. If they are wrong, why should I accept them?"
Professor Xia was taken aback, not expecting the other party to have such a mindset.
When people receive criticism, they usually feel ashamed or angry. In this situation, most people choose to refute it, and very few people can calmly analyze right and wrong.
"What if the other person is your superior or teacher? What if they criticize you wrongly?" Xia Qing continued to press.
Luo Yao looked puzzled and said, "As long as it doesn't affect my studies or research, it's fine."
"What if it has an impact? As a genius, you will always be questioned by others." Xia Qing didn't let Luo Yao off the hook and continued to ask.
"Teacher, would you really stoop to the level of a chirping bird?" Luo Yao asked, puzzled.
Professor Xia's question is really strange.
Hearing Luo Yao's impolite words, Sun Xiulan quickly reminded him, "Luo Yao, you mustn't talk about your teacher like that!"
"Oh," Luo Yao replied listlessly.
What did he say? It seems like he didn't say anything!
Upon hearing Luo Yao's conversation with his mother, the viewers in the live stream burst into laughter.
"The top student is right! If they're wrong, why should we accept it?"
"Haha, so in Luo Xueba's eyes, those people are just chirping little birds? That's ruthless!"
"This is the first time I've heard someone speak so bluntly! Luo, the top student, is really direct!"
"Look at those admissions officers, their expressions are absolutely hilarious!"
"A chattering little bird! Not very harmful, but extremely insulting!"
"Will Luo, the top student, talk back to his boss like that in the future? I'm really curious!"
Professor Xia stood there stunned for several seconds in her office before realizing who she was dealing with.
It's true that geniuses are often eccentric, but some geniuses focus more on what they consider important and don't pay much attention to irrelevant thoughts and opinions.
This focus makes them more susceptible to external interference and harm, although they might appear a bit pretentious in such situations.
Professor Xia felt that Luo Yao was indeed a promising talent; he was intelligent, not as sensitive as others, and knew what was most important.
Although his words were somewhat unpleasant, Professor Xia believed that this was something that could be changed gradually through subtle influence.
Many years later, when Professor Xia looked back on her thoughts at that time, she realized that she had been naive.
Xia Qing realized she should reply to Luo Yao. When she came to her senses, she immediately said, "Great, Luo Yao, I'll be waiting for you at East China University of Science and Technology."
It actually worked!
"Professor Xia, I'd like to know more about you." Unlike the others, Luo Yao didn't respond to Professor Xia's invitation, and there was a reason for this sudden move.
After all, Professor Xia had just asked a question that he didn't think was particularly clever, and he was starting to doubt whether the other party was really capable of giving him the help he wanted.
Fearing that Xia Qing might be displeased, Professor Ouyang quickly introduced, "Professor Xia is a national-level young talent and currently serves as the director of the General-Purpose Chip and Basic Software Research Center at East China University of Science and Technology."
"Professor Xia Qing once mentored a graduate student who received Huaji's 'Genius Program' award and was even invited by Huaji to serve as a technical consultant. However, Professor Xia Qing had to do research and didn't have time, so she didn't go. Luo Yao, do you know Huaji?"
"We have a partnership with Wah Kee. If you want to work at Wah Kee in the future, we will definitely try our best to get you the best benefits!"
Upon hearing this, netizens exclaimed how great it is to have a strong alma mater, as it paves the way for any future path!
On the other hand, Luo Yao finally became interested. He knew that Huaji was the largest provider of information and communication infrastructure and smart terminals in China, and many people were proud to work for Huaji.
Luo Yao pondered that if he shared his EDA technology, Huaji would indeed have the capability to commercialize it.
Great, that's her.
"Thank you, Professor Ouyang. Thank you, Professor Xia. When will the report be published?"
Upon hearing Luo Yao's words, Teacher Ouyang finally felt relieved.
It was really not easy to convince this top student to choose them!
He asked Luo Yao to wait a moment, then walked to the side and quietly confirmed with Xia Qing.
Before Teacher Ouyang could speak, Professor Xia said, "Tell him to come over as soon as possible. It's been more than a month since the start of the freshman year, so he should be able to catch up with his classes."
Now you know you're in a hurry?
Didn't you not want anyone else back then?
Teacher Ouyang secretly found Xia Qing's actions amusing.
After making the call, he hung up, then walked to Luo Yao's vicinity, explained everything about arriving at school, opened his suitcase, and took out his computer and portable printer.
"As expected of Teacher Ouyang, you even prepared a printer!"
"I brought ready-made agreements, but it seems Professor Ouyang's method is much better! Any new content can be printed out on the spot!"
"You, Ouyang, you've come all prepared!"
After seeing that Luo Yao had been chosen by Teacher Ouyang, the other admissions teachers' work was essentially over, and they quickly returned to their usual joking and teasing manner.
Although these people may be in competition, they are all ordinary people once they leave work. They often meet each other and actually have a good relationship in private.
"I still want to thank all the teachers. If you had all left a little faster, I probably wouldn't have had a chance. I'll treat everyone to a meal today!"
The admissions officers were delighted and all agreed.
Originally, the schools that can conduct independent admissions here are all quite strong, and even if the professors' levels vary, Professor Ouyang would never openly say so.
That's why he said he was only able to sign in with Luo Yao today because he was quick on his feet.
This way, he won't have any strained relationships with the other admissions officers.
Luo Yao listened from the side, squinting at Teacher Ouyang. Just as he was about to say something, Sun Xiulan, quick-witted and agile, changed the subject.
"Yao'er! You're going to East China University of Science and Technology, what do you need to prepare?"
"I don't have much stuff, so I don't need to pack much."
Sun Xiulan knew about Luo Yao's situation, of course. She said, "Then I'll pack up my things, your dad's, and Luo Zhu's. Hey, friends in the live stream, I need to pack up and I'll hang up now. As you can see, my son is going to university, and I'm going with him."
"I don't know if I'll be able to do live streams again in the future."
The people in the live stream were all shocked when they heard her say that.
"Auntie, you can still livestream for us even after you go to university! We want to know how Luo, the top student, is doing!"
"Congratulations, Auntie! You have such an amazing son!"
"Oh right, I just remembered, didn't someone say that Luo Xueba would be able to breeze through math as long as he proved he knew algebraic topology? Hasn't Luo Xueba already proven that?"
"Swipe! I have to swipe! Consider it a back-to-school gift for Luo, the top student!"
"Comrades, let's give the top students some respect!"
Under this man's influence, more than a dozen rockets appeared in the live stream. Sun Xiulan, who had never seen such a scene before, was so surprised that she quickly thanked him and then ended the live stream.
She was afraid that if she didn't turn off the live stream, more and more people would send her gifts.
Teacher Ouyang had already printed out the agreement. He handed it to Luo Xingguo, who waved his hand and said, "Give it to my son. I don't quite understand it."
Teacher Ouyang immediately understood who was in charge of this family.
After he handed it to Luo Yao, Luo Yao quickly checked the agreement and, after confirming that there were no problems, signed his name.
