Starting by picking up a female fan, he swept through the martial arts world.

The next morning.

Right after finishing breakfast, the brother and sister were urged to hurry up and go to school to register.

Jiang Lang originally intended to walk there, since it was less than a ten-minute walk, but Jiang Yi led him to the underground parking garage.

"Whoa!"

He patted the insectoid-style luxury car in front of him: "A car this nice, it could cost me my life! You're going to drive all that way for such a short distance? You're getting cocky!"

Jiang Yi sensed a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone and quickly explained, "No! Brother, Dad asked me to drive it, saying we can't embarrass the family..."

"real?"

"real!"

"Alright!"

Jiang Lang breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he wasn't blinded by the glitz and glamour.

This girl looks like a little quail; she doesn't seem like someone who's gotten carried away.

"Brother, why don't you drive?"

"I don't have a driver's license."

"How could you not...?"

Jiang Yi was halfway through her sentence when she realized that Jiang Lang had already sat in the passenger seat, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and sit in the driver's seat.

Jiang Lang looked at her somewhat awkward driving and tilted his head, laughing.

Jiang Yi didn't want to be looked at strangely by her classmates, so she didn't park the car on the ground. Instead, she drove all the way to the underground parking garage of Qiqihar University, and then the two of them went their separate ways.

After all, Jiang Yi was a legitimate freshman who was admitted through the entrance exam, while Jiang Lang, even if hired, would only be a contract worker as an assistant researcher. Before becoming a full-time employee, he wouldn't even be considered a student of Qida University. The procedures they had to follow were different.

Jiang Lang left the garage and headed straight for the laboratory building.

He arrived at 8 a.m., and the laboratory building was noticeably more bustling than when he came yesterday. He had to wait for two elevators before it was almost his turn.

Just as the elevator was about to descend to the next floor, a familiar voice suddenly rang out behind him: "Jiang Lang? What are you doing here?"

Ok?

Jiang Lang turned around and found Xu Lu standing right behind him.

He asked, puzzled, "Sister Lu, what's wrong?"

Xu Lu frowned slightly: "You've come to see Professor Hu again? Your research areas are different from Professor Hu's, so there's no need for you to make this trip for nothing."

Jiang Lang replied politely and obediently, "Oh, I'm not looking for Professor Hu. My supervisor is in this building too."

Xu Lu: "?"

She wanted to ask, "Where can you find a supervisor with your thesis?" but after thinking about it, she swallowed her words.

After all, she didn't think Jiang Lang was as harmless as he seemed. He didn't hold back at all when he mocked her yesterday.

What if I offend him and he starts spreading rumors about me and Professor Hu? People born out of wedlock are usually very sensitive.

Moreover, as a working-class person, there's no reason for me to offend a second-generation rich kid, even if they're illegitimate.

So he could only smile politely at Jiang Lang and follow him into the elevator, silently noting down the number he pressed.

I went upstairs and headed straight to my office.

Despite his advanced age, Hu Lintian is still very vigorous and needs her to accompany him for a while during his morning exercise every day.

She was already used to it, but today, Hu Lintian seemed unusually rough.

After the end.

She couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Professor, is something on your mind today?"

"You noticed that?"

Hu Lintian finally smiled; he liked this kind of considerate subordinate.

Xu Lu thought to herself, "Do I even need to look? I'm about to burst!"

She asked softly, "If you're troubled, you can tell me."

Hu Bingtian thought for a moment and then said, "It's nothing, just an old rival has come back."

"An old rival? Is he also a professor at Qilu University?"

"Um!"

"Is he very capable?"

"Not going to force me to be your enemy?"

Hu Lintian asked in return, his eyes twitching involuntarily, his gaze filled with gloom.

His discord with Su Yunchang has a long history, not only in academic matters but also in their differing ideologies. When they were younger, the two even frequently clashed on forums.

In academic matters, they can still keep up with each other.

On the forum, however, he only received a barrage of insults.

People often call themselves traitors now, and that's when their reputation got ruined.

Xu Lu flattered her at the opportune moment, saying, "Actually, you don't need to take it to heart at all. You've been managing things at Qiqihar University for so many years, and whether it's your status or your students, you're the best. Which other professor can occupy an entire floor like you?"

Hu Lintian was almost appeased, but after hearing the last sentence, his face darkened again: "He also has a floor."

"what?"

Xu Lu was taken aback: "Who is he? Why is the school so willing to spend so much on him?"

Hu Lintian snorted: "It's not that he's willing to part with it! That floor originally belonged to him. He's been semi-retired for many years, and the school has always reserved it for him. It's right above us, on the sixth floor."

"The sixth floor?"

Xu Lu felt this floor was familiar: "By the way, Professor, I just saw Jiang Lang. He said his new advisor is on the sixth floor. Could it be...?"

Are you sure?

"I'm sure! I saw him press the button for the sixth floor with my own eyes."

Xu Lu couldn't help but laugh, "Looks like he's not doing so well either, this kind of trash..."

She suddenly stopped, because she realized that Hu Lintian wasn't laughing.

Hu Lintian was silent for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing: "I thought he was going to tell me something big, but this is all?"

"Yeah! It's hilarious!"

Xu Lu breathed a sigh of relief and started laughing for the second time.

Hu Lintian laughed for a while, feeling as if the wrinkles in his cerebral cortex had been smoothed out: "Go buy me a box of Qingmai Domain's top-grade Qing Teng Tea. I'm going to catch up with an old friend later."

"good!"

Xu Lu took the bank card, tidied her messy clothes, and quickly left the house.

……

Jiang Lang stepped out of the elevator. The sixth floor was very deserted. He glanced at the signboard and found that the entire floor was under Su Yunchang's name.

Although the sixth floor was deserted, it looked very clean, and the equipment was running normally, indicating that even with a few years of downtime, there were dedicated personnel to maintain it.

Especially that piece of equipment.

Jiang Lang turned his gaze to the other side of the glass, where he saw a radiation chamber lying quietly.

He was very familiar with this radiation chamber. It was one of the dark matter decay wave radiation chambers that came from overseas seven years ago. Its quality was top-notch and it could excite the full frequency band of the 28 star clusters, unlike those produced by military factories, which could only excite the band of a single star cluster.

Why does Jiang Lang feel so familiar with it? Because the crazy woman also has one.

It was that radiation chamber that created the Silent Official.

"My director is just too talented!"

Jiang Lang felt he had made the right choice, but he didn't jump to conclusions. He wanted to observe first. If Su Yunchang was a decent person, he wouldn't mind sharing his true abilities.

He glanced at the appointment letter and followed the index to find Su Yunchang's office.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Enter!"

Su Yunchang's voice was as kind as it was yesterday.

Jiang Lang pushed open the door and entered: "Professor Su, I've come to report for duty."

In the office, Su Yunchang was tending to the potted plants. Judging from their appearance, they were probably succulents from the old era, which had gone extinct due to drastic environmental changes. Nowadays, succulents are all bred in laboratories and are quite expensive, not something that ordinary people can afford to grow.

A middle-aged man was standing next to Su Yunchang.

The middle-aged man, Chong Jianglang, nodded in greeting: "Young man, please wait a moment. I have something urgent to discuss with Professor Su."

Jiang Lang glanced at Su Yunchang, and seeing the other man nod, he smiled at the middle-aged man and found a sofa to sit down.

The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and said with a fawning smile, "Professor Su, my son Yaozu is really quite good. Please consider him! As long as you accept him, you can always let me know if you encounter any difficulties, and I will do my best to help you solve them."

Su Yunchang scratched his graying temples: "Your Yaozu is indeed very outstanding, but hasn't he already been accepted into graduate school? This is my first year of being rehired, and I don't have any master's degree slots under my name. I can only hire one assistant researcher."

The middle-aged man quickly said, "Assistant researcher is fine too. We can wait another year. As long as you agree, I'll withdraw his student status right away."

Su Yunchang smiled and waved his hand: "That won't do, I've already recruited an assistant researcher."

The middle-aged man was taken aback: "So fast? Didn't you just accept the re-employment offer yesterday? Who's so fast?"

Su Yunchang pointed at Jiang Lang: "Him? Didn't you hear him say he was here to report for duty?"

"Um?"

The middle-aged man looked at Jiang Lang with suspicion and uncertainty.

Jiang Langchong smiled憨厚ly.

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Young man, could we speak in private?"

Before Jiang Lang could speak, Su Yunchang interrupted him rudely, saying, "If you're trying to persuade him to give up his spot, I advise you to give up that idea immediately. You're not a child anymore, and you're resorting to these underhanded tricks."

Reprimanded by Su Yunchang, the middle-aged man immediately lost face, and his tone became much harsher: "Professor Su! You should be aware of your situation. Among the board members, I'm the only one willing to help you!"

"Oh……"

Su Yunchang was somewhat displeased, while Chong Jianglang raised his graying eyebrows.

Jiang Lang understood and cleared his throat: "What a coincidence! My mom is also a school board member!"

The middle-aged man frowned: "Who is your mother?"

"Si Hong!"

"I've seen all of Si Hong's children, and none of them look like you!"

"She's my stepmother!"

"Is a stepmother considered a mother?"

"Why doesn't that count?"

Jiang Lang countered with a question, adding, "There are also differences among the school board members."

Middle-aged man: "???"
