The villainous young lady is actually a scientific research genius!

The door to the physics lab made a crisp sound when Zhou Mingyuan pushed it open.

He walked hurriedly, still clutching the record sheet from Lu Zhaozhao's experiment in his hand, without even having time to close the lab door.

In the corridor, several students passing by curiously peeked out, only to see Teacher Zhou's hurried figure disappear at the stairwell.

"What's wrong with Teacher Zhou?"

"You seem very excited."

Zhou Mingyuan didn't care about any of that.

He walked briskly to the administration building and pushed open the door to the principal's office.

"Principal Chen, I have something important to discuss—"

He froze halfway through his sentence.

In the office, besides Principal Chen Qihuai, there was another person sitting there.

Yan Zheng, the math group leader.

Yan Zhengzheng was holding a teacup when he saw Zhou Mingyuan barge in, and he raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Teacher Zhou, why the rush?"

Zhou Mingyuan took a breath and glanced between Yan Zheng and Chen Qihuai.

"Principal Chen, Lu Zhaozhao just participated in the preliminary test for the physics competition."

Chen Qihuai put down the documents in his hand.

"How did it go?"

Zhou Mingyuan took a deep breath.

"She completed the double-slit interference experiment in 25 minutes with an accuracy error of less than 0.5 percent."

He paused.

"Moreover, the method she used was phase modulation compensation."

Chen Qihuai was stunned for a moment.

"What method?"

"Phase modulation compensation method".

Zhou Mingyuan repeated it, his voice filled with suppressed excitement.

"This is the latest optical measurement theory internationally, and no paper in China has mentioned it yet."

The office was silent for a few seconds.

Yan Zheng put down his teacup, his eyes sharpening.

Are you sure?

"I'm sure."

Zhou Mingyuan said.

"I just checked her derivation process, and there are no problems."

He placed the record sheet in front of Chen Qihuai.

"Principal Chen, this student must be admitted to the physics competition group."

Before Chen Qihuai could speak, Yan Zheng stood up.

"etc."

He looked at Zhou Mingyuan.

"Teacher Zhou, Lu Zhaozhao has agreed to participate in the math competition."

Zhou Mingyuan frowned.

"A math competition?"

"right."

Yan Zheng nodded.

"She came to me a few days ago, saying she could win a gold medal. I've already given her the green light, exempting her from unnecessary classes and granting her top-level access to the library."

He paused.

"Principal Chen also approved it."

Zhou Mingyuan was stunned.

Has she already participated in a math competition?

What about physics competitions?

He looked at Chen Qihuai.

"Principal Chen, Lu Zhaozhao's talent in physics is definitely no less than her talent in mathematics. It would be a waste of talent to only let her participate in math competitions."

Yan Zheng sneered.

"Professor Zhou, what you said is interesting. Does that mean letting her participate in the physics competition would be a waste of her talent?"

Zhou Mingyuan took a deep breath.

"Team Leader Yan, that's not what I meant. I just meant—"

"You're just saying that physics is more important than math."

Yan Zheng interrupted him.

"But I want to tell you that mathematics is the foundation of all sciences. Without mathematics, physics is nothing."

Zhou Mingyuan's face darkened.

"Team Leader Yan, you've gone too far with that."

"Did I pass?"

Yan Zheng sneered.

"I have personally witnessed Lu Zhaozhao's talent in mathematics."

He looked at Zhou Mingyuan.

"You say she's good at physics, then tell me, what kind of talent does she have in physics?"

Zhou Mingyuan took a deep breath.

"She completed the double-slit interference experiment using the phase modulation compensation method, with an accuracy error of less than 0.5 percent."

Yan Zheng shook his head.

"Doing a good job in experiments does not necessarily mean that the theoretical level is high."

Zhou Mingyuan's face darkened completely.

"Team Leader Yan, are you denying the value of experimental physics?"

"I'm not denying it," Yan Zheng said. "I'm just stating the facts."

The two stared at each other, and sparks seemed to dance in the air.

Chen Qihuai coughed.

"Both of you, calm down."

He looked at Zhou Mingyuan.

"Teacher Zhou, please have a seat."

Zhou Mingyuan took a deep breath and sat down.

Chen Qihuai then looked at Yan Zheng.

"Team Leader Yan, please have a seat."

Yan Zheng remained silent for a few seconds before sitting back down in his chair.

Chen Qihuai rubbed his temples.

"I understand that you two are doing this for the good of the school. But the problem is that Lu Zhaozhao is alone, and her time and energy are limited."

He looked at Zhou Mingyuan.

"Teacher Zhou, do you think she can participate in two competitions at the same time?"

Zhou Mingyuan remained silent for a few seconds.

"I wouldn't suggest this to an ordinary student. But Lu Zhaozhao is different."

He looked at Chen Qihuai.

"Principal Chen, her talent is beyond my comprehension. I believe that if she wanted to, she could absolutely win gold medals in two competitions at the same time."

Yan Zheng sneered.

"Teacher Zhou, you are putting pressure on the students."

"I did not exert any pressure."

Zhou Mingyuan said.

"I'm just stating the facts."

Yan Zheng looked at Chen Qihuai.

"Principal Chen, I suggest letting Lu Zhaozhao make her own choice."

Chen Qihuai nodded.

"That's a good suggestion."

He picked up the phone and dialed the academic affairs office number.

"Hey, Xiao Li, could you contact Li Chengde, the homeroom teacher of Class 2, Grade 11, and ask him to bring Lu Zhaozhao to my office?"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Qihuai looked at the two of them.

"Both of you, stay silent for a moment and let Lu Zhaozhao make her own decision."

Zhou Mingyuan and Yan Zheng exchanged a glance but neither spoke.

……

Ten minutes later.

There was a knock on the office door.

"Enter."

Li Chengde pushed open the door and entered, followed by Lu Zhaozhao.

Lu Zhaozhao was wearing a clean school uniform, her hair casually tied into a ponytail.

Her gaze swept over the three people in the office, finally settling on Chen Qihuai.

"headmaster."

Chen Qihuai nodded.

"Lu Zhaozhao, please have a seat."

Lu Zhaozhao sat down in the chair, her posture upright, her hands naturally placed on her knees.

Chen Qihuai glanced at Zhou Mingyuan and Yan Zheng, then looked at Lu Zhaozhao.

"Lu Zhaozhao, I called you here today because both the math and physics groups want you to participate in their competition."

He paused.

"What do you think?"

Lu Zhaozhao remained silent for a few seconds.

"I can participate in both."

The office fell silent for a moment.

Zhou Mingyuan and Yan Zheng both looked at her at the same time.

Chen Qihuai was stunned for a moment.

Are you sure?

"Sure."

Lu Zhaozhao said.

"I consider mathematics and physics to be essential tools, and participating in competitions can systematically fill in the gaps in my knowledge."

She looked at Chen Qihuai.

"But I have conditions."

Chen Qihuai took a deep breath.

"you say."

"First, absolute freedom to control your time."

Lu Zhaozhao said.

"I don't need fixed training courses, I just need a question bank and reference materials."

Chen Qihuai nodded.

"Can."

"Secondly, I need all the past exam questions and mock exam questions for both competition groups."

"no problem."

"Third, if I maintain my first place in the grade in the monthly exam, then I am free to decide whether or not to participate in any non-essential group activities."

Chen Qihuai remained silent for a few seconds.

"Can."

Lu Zhaozhao nodded.

"Then I'm all set."

She stood up.

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back to the lab now."

Chen Qihuai was stunned for a moment.

"etc."

Lu Zhaozhao stopped in her tracks.

Chen Qihuai looked at Zhou Mingyuan and Yan Zheng.

"Do either of you have anything else to say?"

Zhou Mingyuan and Yan Zheng exchanged a glance and shook their heads.

Lu Zhaozhao turned and left.

The office door closed, and the three men looked at each other in bewilderment.

After a long silence, Chen Qihuai sighed.

"This student..."

He shook his head.

"They're really hard to understand."

Zhou Mingyuan remained silent for a few seconds.

"Principal Chen, I think she can do it."

Yan Zheng nodded.

"I think so too."

Chen Qihuai looked out the window.

In the corridor, Lu Zhaozhao's figure had already disappeared around the corner.

"I hope so."

He paused.

"I hope she really can create a miracle."
