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

The middle-aged man stormed off in a fit of rage.

Jiang Lang couldn't help but ask, "Professor Su, won't making him so angry cause you trouble?"

"Too."

Su Yunchang looked at him with a half-smile: "Why don't you catch up with him now and give him the engagement letter, then I won't have any trouble."

Jiang Lang chuckled: "That would put me in trouble. Why don't you take on the extra work?"

Su Yunchang casually placed the spray bottle on the table: "Have you finished filling out the employment form?"

"Finished!"

Jiang Lang quickly handed over the completed appointment letter.

Su Yunchang signed his name and handed it over: "Go to the administration building to complete your onboarding procedures, and come back to talk to me when you're done."

"Why!"

Jiang Lang accepted the letter of appointment, asked no more questions, and left the office.

He was actually very curious about what conditions Bai Zhaoli had offered the old man, but he was also worried that if he pressed the old man too hard, he would withdraw his hiring agreement.

Today is the first day of school, and the administration building is unusually lively.

By the time Jiang Lang finished completing the onboarding procedures, it was already 10 a.m.

Back in his office, Su Yunchang leaned back in his chair and read a book.

Jiang Lang glanced at the cover by chance; it looked like a philosophy book from the old era. The old man seemed to have quite a wide range of interests.

"Professor, I'm back."

"Professor is a title for outsiders; from today onwards, you should call him teacher."

"Okay, teacher!"

"Tell me, what do you hope to gain by becoming a researcher here?"

Su Yunchang closed the book, crossed his arms, and looked at Jiang Lang.

You performed so well yesterday.

Why aren't you performing today?

Feeling impressed by his directness, Jiang Lang simply voiced his own thoughts: "Teacher, I want to become a full-fledged teacher."

"It's just a matter of me nodding."

"I also want to pursue a master's and a doctoral degree, preferably graduating within three years."

"This is simple too."

"I also want to be promoted to associate professor."

"That's fine too!"

Su Yunchang smiled and said, "As long as I'm at Qiqihar University, I guarantee you'll be promoted to associate professor."

Jiang Lang was taken aback: "Teacher, do you have that much energy?"

He was genuinely surprised; Su Yunchang's power had far exceeded his expectations.

Su Yunchang smoothed the white hair at his temples: "With a disciple like you, I reckon I'll be expelled before you are."

Jiang Lang: "..."

Su Yunchang: "..."

Jiang Lang sincerely praised, "Teacher, you're quite humorous."

Su Yunchang took a sip of tea unhurriedly: "You are also very humorous, just like my student."

Jiang Lang finally understood; this old man was very perceptive and had never intended to rely on him from the beginning.

So he acted like a friendly old man, without any of the pressure one would expect from a mentor.

only……

He said earnestly, "But teacher, I really want to be promoted to associate professor!"

Actually, he was a bit depressed. According to his original plan, he intended to take out the solid papers, then take out some of the marginal results that the crazy woman had left for him, and then use his connections to change his professional title.

As a result, last night he searched for Su Yunchang's previous papers and found that his views were completely opposite to those of the crazy woman.

If you dare to do these things under Su Yunchang, you'll probably be expelled from the sect on the spot.

"You really want to get into a university?"

"I really want to!"

"It's not that it's impossible."

Su Yunchang thought for a moment, then pulled up a paper on his computer: "This paper was written by one of my former students. She doesn't need it now, but you can have it listed on her name. That's enough to get you a permanent position within three months, and then you can go straight to your first year of graduate school, saving you a year."

Jiang Lang glanced at it and found that it was a basic research paper, and the author's name had not yet been filled in.

Unexpectedly, the seemingly easy-going old man turned out to be an academic tyrant who confiscated his students' papers.

Before he could ask, Su Yunchang continued, "I can also give you the papers you will be evaluated later, but you should also know that when evaluating professional titles at Qida University, papers are only one aspect. The key is the theoretical research of the entire research group, as well as the martial arts students' performance in the martial arts competition."

I offended some people before, and now I have no people and no funds.

I can find other students to mentor in theoretical research, but other miscellaneous tasks can only be left to you.

"As long as your contributions to the research group are significant enough, whatever evaluation you want, I can push you to it!"

This is the kind of domineering presence that a former pillar of the university should have.

Jiang Lang immediately pledged his loyalty: "Teacher, what do you need me to do?"

"This afternoon and tomorrow, the school will conduct a rating of the self-funded martial arts students, and then the instructors and students will select each other. I don't care what methods you use, just select a few martial arts students with potential for me."

"no problem!"

"I don't want my students' research and training to be disturbed. You are in charge of verifying the data from the private research institute, finding external instructors, and resolving all the psychological and life problems of the new students in the group."

"Mission accomplished!"

"The group only has basic funding right now. Your stepmother is a school board member, so you can ask her for the funds she has."

"I tried my best!"

Jiang Lang answered the first two questions with great confidence. He had not only been known as "Silent Official" before, and he was able to handle some social issues.

But when it comes to funding, that's a bit of a challenge.

After all, his relationship with Si Hong was far from good.

If Jiang Tai hadn't pulled him aside this morning and told him that as long as Su Yunchang's research group performed strongly enough, Si Hong would be willing to invest, he really wouldn't have dared to agree to this request.

However, it's good that he focuses on socializing. He's never been good at research, and he's not too willing to share the results left behind by the crazy woman.

Many research groups have those people who are very good at networking and have no academic contributions, but are very useful to the research group.

However, their connections are truly impressive, far surpassing those of a mere illegitimate child.

Let's not think about that for now.

Jiang Lang said in a low voice, "Teacher, I have one more question."

Su Yunchang raised his eyelids slightly: "You speak!"

Jiang Lang voiced his doubts: "You only have one undergraduate spot in your first year, and only one novice to manage. Can they handle the research?"

"Who said it's a newbie?"

"Hmm? You've already chosen someone?"

"Otherwise, where do you think I got the courage to hire you as a researcher?"

"..."

Looking at Su Yunchang's expectant expression, Jiang Lang seemed to have guessed what conditions Bai Zhaoli had offered him.

Help him find a genius student, and then have him take on this mediocre student as well.

If Bai Zhaoli were selling instant noodles...

I am like cheap instant noodles, and that genius undergraduate is like a beautifully crafted free gift porcelain bowl.

They're quite good at business.

……

"Professor Hu, your green vine tea!"

Xu Lu placed the beautifully packaged gift box on Hu Lintian's desk.

"Um!"

Hu Lintian smiled, supporting his back as he stood up from his office chair: "Let's go see some old friends!"

Xu Lu called out to him, "Professor, I ran into someone when I came back just now."

"Huh? Who?"

Hu Lintian stopped in his tracks. He knew Xu Lu; anyone she would bring up at this time must be very important.

Xu Lu took out her phone and opened a photo: "Xu Yanzhi".

"What! He's from Suzuki University?"

Hu Lintian's eyes lit up.

The photo shows a handsome young boy, who looks to be about fourteen or fifteen years old.

If it were someone else, they would just see Xu Yanzhi as an ordinary high school student.

But Hu Bingtian knew how profound his family's learning was. The whole family had achieved considerable success in the Star Cluster Cultivation System. His father had praised him long ago, saying that Xu Yanzhi's future achievements in the Star Cluster Cultivation System would definitely surpass those of all his elders.

His father was a very pragmatic person, so even though Xu Yanzhi only won the Olympiad gold medal once and did not show much ability, he was recognized as a prodigy in the circle. After all, there were quite a few things involving classified research.

However, they didn't intend to get involved, because Xu's father was the director of a research institute and wouldn't allow his son to attend another university. Until January, for some unknown reason, the research institute suddenly closed down.

Xu Yanzhi immediately became a hot commodity, with various universities vying to deliver admission notices to his home. Hu Lintian was the one who represented Qiqihar University in delivering the notices.

Hu Bingtian didn't hold back and immediately offered generous terms, hoping that Xu Yanzhi would join his research group.

However, Xu Yanzhi said at the time that she hadn't decided yet and would decide which university to attend after she had thought it through.

After that, Xu Yanzhi could no longer answer his calls.

Hu Lintian had already given up, but he actually showed up today.

Did you greet him?

"Of course! How could I dare to neglect him?"

"What did he say?"

"He said he's going to report now, but will come to visit you later!"

"It's safe!"

Hu Lintian's face immediately lit up with a confident smile. Nowadays, college entrance examination applications only require students to apply to schools, not majors. After students register, they attend a meeting organized by the school to introduce their advisors, and only then do students and advisors choose each other. This is to prevent students who are not well-informed from going in the wrong direction.

However, for Xu Yanzhi, the introductory meeting was just a formality.

Hu Lintian's mood became increasingly cheerful: "Perfect timing, the report needs time, I'll go chat with some old friends first."
