Hu Cheng was a PhD student. The student with the lowest academic qualifications in his team was a second-year graduate student. Why did the principal suddenly ask him to teach a first-year student?
âPrincipal, what year did you say she was in?â Hu Cheng felt that the principal was joking. âDid you say something wrong? Is this student actually a freshman?â
Zhang Guo looked happy. âWhy would I joke with you? Tan Rou is a freshman, and havenât you heard of her? She won the first prize of last yearâs National Physics Competition and the second prize of this yearâs Global Physics Competition!â
Hu Cheng had heard about this before. He was also a physics researcher, so he attached great importance to physics competitions. It was just that he did not associate the physics genius with the freshman girl in front of him.
âThe physics competition is just a test. It doesnât represent her actual ability.â A pretty girl walked over and sized Tan Rou up. âPrincipal Zhang, youâre making a big joke. Since when did our university allow freshmen to join the research team?â
Zhang Guo said stubbornly, âXue Lin, rules are dead. People are alive. I believe Tan Rou has the ability.â
Xue Lin wanted to say something but was stopped by Cheng Hu, âXue Lin, the principal must have his reasons for doing this. Since this freshman is here, let her try. She can only stay here if she passes our assessment.â
The principal had no objections, but he was worried that Tan Rou would disagree. âTan Rou, what do you think?â
Tan Rou did not have any objections to this request. After all, she also wanted to test whether these people could become her teammates. â1 agree.â
Zhang Guo was very happy. He was already so old, but he still acted cute. âGreat!!!â
Tan Rou shook her head. Why was this old man acting cute?
Xue Lin was very unhappy when she saw this scene. She hated people who got in through the back door the most. She had prepared for a year to get into the graduate school of Capital University, and she had put in a lot of effort to get into this physics laboratory. She didnât expect Tan Rou to enter through the back door so easily. How could she take this lying down?
Hu Cheng led Tan Rou into the laboratory and introduced her to his teammates one by one. Zhang Guo saw that they got along well, so he left after a while.
However, getting along well was only a superficial phenomenon. When Zhang Guo left, the dissatisfaction of the team members towards Tan Rou showed.
Xue Lin handed a thick stack of draft paper to Tan Rou. Then, she gave her a bunch of data and ordered, âArrange these data in 20 minutes. It must be handwritten. Itâs safer this way.â
Although technology was very advanced in this era, paper calculations had never been abandoned. Sometimes, paper records were safer than electronic records.
Tan Rou scanned through the data. She could tell that Xue Lin was making things difficult for her, but she didnât take it to heart. Perhaps this was the test to join the team.
âAlright.â Tan Rou picked up a pen and started calculating the password on the draft paper.
Cheng Hu saw how Xue Lin was making things difficult for Tan Rou, but he didnât stop her because he didnât like this freshman who came in through the back door as well. He felt that she had a kind of arrogance that didnât match her age.
The other members were doing experiments while watching Tan Rou make a fool of herself. The data that Xue Lin gave her couldnât be calculated within 20 minutes unless she used a computer.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Tan Rou could sort out the data in ten minutes, but she wasnât in a hurry. Instead, she calculated slowly, trying to calculate the data.
But in less than five minutes, Xue Lin came over. She saw Tan Ronâs calculations on the paper and said angrily, âWhat kind of nonsense is this?â Do you usually listen in class?â She paused for a moment and suddenly laughed. âOh, 1 forgot that youâre a freshman. Itâs normal that you havenât learned these things.â
Tan Ronâs algorithm was something that she came up on her own. It was not popular but it was very efficient. Unfortunately, Xue Lin had never seen it and did not know what it was..
