After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 357, Episode 0386: Reporting to Peking University

Today was a special day, and the old man suddenly became sentimental, chatting with Lin Yuexi for a long time.

They talked about Lin Yuexi's childhood, her nearly deceased grandmother, and quickly shifted the topic to the current situation and imagined the future.

It wasn't until the old man was so tired that his eyelids started to droop that Lin Yuexi finally persuaded him to go back to his room to rest.

As soon as I helped him lie down, the old man started snoring.

Lin Yuexi felt both amused and heartbroken. She knew that no matter how much she and Huo Han promised to stay with the old man, he still felt uneasy after they got their marriage certificate.

She couldn't prove anything with words, so she could only try her best to dispel the old man's unease through her actions in the future.

Fortunately, she was assigned teaching duties by her superiors, and she will stay in Beijing for at least this year.

Seeing that the old man was still frowning even in his sleep, Lin Yuexi reached out and placed her hand on his forehead, carefully using her supernatural ability to give him some mental guidance.

The old man gradually relaxed, and his breathing became more and more even.

Lin Yuexi withdrew her hand, tiptoed out of the room, and quietly closed the door.

Turning his head, his gaze met that of Old Zhang, who was guarding the door.

Old Zhang asked in a worried, low voice, "Is the old commander alright?"

"Grandpa is asleep, he's fine. He might be a little emotional these days, so I'll have to trouble Uncle Zhang to keep an eye on him."

Uncle Zhang understood the old man's feelings, because he was also upset that his family's cabbage had been taken.

However, Old Zhang managed to control his emotions and breathed a sigh of relief, assuring him, "Don't worry, Uncle will keep an eye on things. You should go back and rest too; you have class tomorrow."

He had just learned from Xu Shan that Xi Bao was getting her marriage certificate this year and was going to university tomorrow.

Lin Yuexi was extremely tired as the person in charge of the aircraft carrier project. Although she hardly experienced any external pressure [it was all shielded by the elders and the old man], the inability to keep up with the technology was a big problem.

This is not the fault of our researchers. It is still the most fundamental reason: the prerequisite for understanding this technology is that you must at least know about it. If you have never even heard of some technologies, how can you possibly build them?

Lin Yuexi was the one who took the lead, but those behind her couldn't keep up!

Lin Yuexi was unwilling to give up a more advanced aircraft carrier that she could have built herself and instead settle for a carrier whose technology was only at the first generation of another country.

Not to mention that her pride wouldn't allow it, we have absolutely no need to waste that money. In the end, we might not only fail to enhance national prestige but also be ridiculed.

What if others can't keep up?
Easy, teach me!

Therefore, in recent years, Lin Yuexi has served as the person in charge, chief engineer, and teacher to almost all the researchers involved in the various bases.

Her efforts and exhaustion were seen by those above.

Elder Long and Elder Zhou didn't intend to be exploitative; they couldn't let their precious child get worn out so young. They understood the difference between a single meal and a lifetime of hard work. So, as soon as the research succeeded, although it was still in the trial phase, Lin Yuexi had already trained a group of people capable of handling the trial missions. Therefore, during the first trial, the Second Elder gave her a strict order: after the official trial, she must go back to rest, and she was forbidden from entering the laboratory for a year. If she really couldn't stay idle, she could become a teacher at Peking University.

Old Zhou didn't expect Lin Yuexi to start working as soon as she returned to Beijing, but the president of Peking University happened to be nearby when Old Zhou said that. He overheard it and shamelessly pestered Lin Yuexi for two days.

Lin Yuexi hadn't anticipated getting her marriage certificate, and she was indeed feeling tired and planning to rest. She was also annoyed by the principal, so she agreed to rest for two days after returning to Beijing before going to school to register.

For some people, the word "two days" may be a broad term, but for Lin Yuexi, it simply means the literal meaning.

Principal Qi was one of those people, so he was a little confused when he saw Lin Yuexi.

Principal Qi is the eldest son of Old Master Qi. He learned from Old Master Qi that Lin Yuexi and Huo Han got their marriage certificate yesterday, so he didn't think Lin Yuexi would come to the school today. After all, they are newlyweds and should be enjoying their honeymoon for a few days.

Moreover, Professor Zhou had specifically warned him that Academician Lin's main task was to rest, and that going to school to teach was just a pastime during his rest. He also specifically instructed him that even if Academician Lin only taught one class per semester, it would still be of great benefit to the students.

If Principal Qi had never taken Lin Yuexi's class, or if he had taken her class but was a complete novice, he would not have been able to understand what Professor Zhou meant.

Since Lin Yuexi started teaching at various bases, every lesson has been recorded. The high-tech parts are classified as secret and can only be viewed and learned by key personnel who have passed the test. The publicly available parts have been categorized, organized, and distributed to various schools, including Peking University, the highest institution of learning.

Principal Qi himself is a physics major. He has watched all of Lin Yuexi's video lessons, and many of them are knowledge that he needs to study, so he has studied them repeatedly.

Therefore, Principal Qi had always regarded Lin Yuexi as his teacher and had long admired her. That's why when he heard that Old Zhou had just jokingly mentioned to Lin Yuexi that she was going to teach at Peking University, he shamelessly stayed by her side like Tang Seng for three whole days and two nights.

President Qi is the president and was once a researcher, but his abilities are limited. No matter how hard he tries, his brain is limited, so he had to leave his beloved research institute and take over the management of Peking University.

Perhaps it was because he himself had the will but no power that Principal Qi was more likely to empathize with the students in the school who were in similar situations to him. Some of them had worked very hard but achieved nothing, just like him. Others were very smart and had high comprehension, but they could not provide them with higher knowledge and could only watch helplessly as the 'super brain' was wasted.

This was an indescribable pain for Principal Qi, who was dedicated to education and hoped for a strong nation in science and technology.

Therefore, Principal Qi made the most grand preparations to welcome Lin Yuexi, an academician with countless possibilities in her mind, to the school as a teacher.

But he didn't expect that Lin Yuexi's promise of two days would actually come true, rendering all his preparations futile.

He was stunned to see the person standing at the office door.

However, being the head of a school, he reacted quickly. After only a few seconds of confusion, he came to his senses, grinning from ear to ear, and rushed out, grabbing Lin Yuexi's hand and shaking it excitedly.

"Welcome, welcome Academician Lin. Thank you for taking the time to nurture our students."

Lin Yuexi was almost overwhelmed by his enthusiasm, so she gave a formal smile and took the opportunity to pull her hand away.

If this person didn't have such an incredibly upright gaze, he would have become an idiot long ago.

"Hello Principal Qi, I'm here to register."

Principal Qi wasn't stupid; he could sense Lin Yuexi's aloofness, but he didn't care at all. A capable person always has their own temper. Their school was already incredibly lucky to have Academician Lin; they would be happy to treat him like royalty.

It's just a little temper tantrum, and they're willing to indulge it!
