I manage female characters in all the heavens.

Before the awards were even given, "Liu Ting" started a new research project.

This time it was a research project on some kind of low-cost, ultra-high-strength material. As always, she issued an outrageously detailed task list, and then handed it all over to her dazed senior sister.

With her detailed instructions that were so precise they could practically guarantee results, everyone only needed to follow them to conduct the experiment. She would then correct a few mistakes she had deliberately left behind, and success would be achieved very quickly.

Then she would showcase her mature industrial production technology, and a groundbreaking scientific achievement could be declared ready for application.

What "Liu Ting" did was simply to take the technology from the Ling Cage world and let her subordinates verify it. The speed at which she produced results was naturally lightning fast, leaving people no time to react.

The specific tasks would be handled by subordinates. She only needed to give instructions in the early stages, make corrections in the middle, and provide technical support in the later stages. All the management work was left to Yu Qiaoqiao, so her work was naturally leisurely.

That morning, "Liu Ting" was lying in the research institute's lounge, scrolling through her phone with her legs crossed, when suddenly the phone rang.

She looked and saw that it was Xu Xin calling.

"Hey, Xu Xin? What's up?"

"Tingting, where are you? It's the first day of school, I'm at the school gate. Didn't you say you were coming to pick me up?"

Liu Ting was startled and suddenly sat up.

Holy crap, school's started!

She almost forgot that although she was already a junior academician, she was actually still a freshman at Jiangnan University, not a corporate slave at the research institute!

Going to school is not something to be taken lightly, after all, he received hundreds of billions from the Xu family.

"Ahem, I'll be right there. Wait for me, and don't wander off."

She hung up the phone, quickly changed out of her white coat, took off her glasses, and put on her own T-shirt and jeans.

The charismatic researcher instantly transformed into a lively and beautiful young woman, grabbing her car keys and heading out.

Yu Qiaoqiao happened to be walking down the corridor carrying a pile of documents. When she saw her junior sister like this, she pouted and said, "Junior sister, where are you going again?"

As the project leader, it's one thing to shirk your responsibilities and slack off by playing on your phone, but being absent from your post is absolutely unacceptable!

I disagree!

"I'll pick them up. You watch the lab. Call me if anything happens." Before the words were even finished, the person had already disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Who do you think you're talking to? I'm the boss!

Yu Qiaoqiao watched the departing figure, her face puffed up with anger.

When will I be able to come and go as I please?

Liu Ting drove the red car provided to her by the school and drifted all the way to the school gate.

The car wasn't anything special, far inferior to her previous multi-million dollar vehicle, but it was ultimately the school's gesture, and it wouldn't be good to refuse, so she'd keep driving it for the time being.

From afar, she saw Xu Xin standing by the flower bed at the school gate, wearing a white dress, carrying a backpack, and holding a suitcase, looking around for her.

"Little beauty, over here!"

"Liu Ting" rolled down the car window and waved to her.

Xu Xin's eyes lit up, and she jogged over, dragging her suitcase: "Tingting! Why are you so late! I've been waiting for ages!"

"I'm so sorry, I was doing research in the lab and got so busy that I forgot the time. Come on, let me take you to register first." Miss Liu's lie came out so easily.

Xu Xin sat in the passenger seat and curiously looked around the car: "You finally bought a car? It looks ordinary. I thought that, given your personality, you would buy a more flashy car."

"It's a car provided by the school, worth around a million, so it's not really something to flaunt," Liu Ting said casually. "However, this car does represent a different meaning, so it's not necessarily inferior to a luxury car worth hundreds of millions."

“I am now a junior academician at the Institute of High Energy Physics. This is called a chauffeur-driven car; it's a symbol of my status.”

"Junior Academician?!" Xu Xin's eyes widened. "Didn't you only join the research institute a month ago? How did you become a junior academician?"

Just as if Luo Feng were to run up to Liu Ting now and say that he had become a beginner-level War God, Liu Ting would definitely be wide-eyed with surprise, Xu Xin was shocked to the same extent.

"There's nothing I can do, I'm just too capable, and I accidentally achieved some success." Liu Ting raised her eyebrows proudly. "The country insisted on promoting me, and I couldn't stop them."

"Don't be afraid to tell me, I, Tingting, am a figure who will surely be recorded in history!"

Xu Xin: "..."

We were all students working together at the HR Alliance Mall after the college entrance exam, how come our best friend suddenly became a junior academician?

Chapter 253 Use Power When It's Available, Sweating Profusely

I can't keep up with others in academics, I can't compete in martial arts, I get crushed at work, I'm far behind in professional titles, I'm not as pretty as others, and I'm not as easy to get along with...

Aside from having more money than others, I'm inferior to everyone else in every way.

Xu Xin: ...I've always lived in Tingting's shadow!

A complex mix of emotions welled up in Xu Xin's heart; she was happy for Liu Ting, but also somewhat disappointed.

"Liu Ting" saw through her thoughts and patted her on the shoulder: "Don't think too much. Everyone has their own path. No one path is better or worse. It's all part of life."

"Come on, I'll take you to get your school registration sorted out first, then I'll treat you to a big meal. Let me tell you, there's a barbecue place nearby that's absolutely delicious!"

"But the registration process for the start of school is very troublesome; the queues can be quite long..."

"Why queue?" Liu Ting grinned. "Watch me."

She dialed the phone number of the president of Jiangnan University directly.

"Hello, is this President Li? This is Liu Ting from the Institute of High Energy Physics. A friend of mine is registering at Jiangnan University, in the School of Business Administration. Could you please put in a good word for her and help her with the registration process as soon as possible?"

"As you know, my research time is extremely valuable, and it can affect the rise and fall of all mankind in an instant. It would be a great pity to waste it on queuing."

"Oh, by the way, I'm also a freshman. I'll trouble you, Principal, to help me with my registration as well."

"Okay, thank you Principal Li!"

After hanging up the phone, "Liu Ting" winked at Xu Xin: "Done."

Xu Xin stared at her blankly: "It's just registering... You, you're going to call the principal directly?"

"What else can I do?" Liu Ting shrugged. "Are you really going to queue up? I'm very busy."

Xu Xin was silent for a few seconds, then couldn't help but laugh.

"Tingting, you're so kind."

"Hehe, I think I'm really great too!" Liu Ting started the car. "Let's go, let's go to the School of Business Administration to register first, and then I'll take you to see the dormitory."

With the principal's special care, Xu Xin's enrollment procedures went exceptionally smoothly.

The dean personally came out to greet them and led them through all the procedures. He also arranged for Xu Xin to live in the best graduate student dormitory building, with a single room and complete facilities.

Xu Xin was completely bewildered throughout the entire process.

Although she was the eldest daughter of the Xu family, she had never really used her privileges. Seeing the bald, fifty- or sixty-year-old dean bowing and scraping to them, she felt very uncomfortable.

After everything was settled, "Liu Ting" called Yu Qiaoqiao, and the three of them went to a barbecue restaurant near the school.

At the dinner table, Xu Xin couldn't help but complain to Liu Ting about what she had experienced over the past two months:

"Tingting, you have no idea, ever since you left, those martial artists have been bothering me at the HR Alliance Mall every day!"

"Huh? They still dare to harass you?" Liu Ting raised an eyebrow.

"It's not exactly harassment, it's just... they keep asking me every day, 'Where is Her Majesty the Queen?', 'When will Her Majesty the Queen be back?', 'Please tell us where Her Majesty the Queen is!', 'I'm kowtowing to you,' and things like that..."

"Ugh, so annoying!"

Xu Xin mimicked the tone of those martial artists, making "Liu Ting" laugh heartily.

"Later, I couldn't take it anymore, so I resigned early. But they still didn't give up and actually found my apartment building!" Xu Xin said with lingering fear. "I was so scared that I moved back home and haven't dared to go out for the past two weeks."

Liu Ting laughed so hard she almost fell over: "Hahahaha! These people are really... too persistent. Did you call the police?"

"You're still laughing!" Xu Xin glared at her, annoyed. "It's all your fault! If you hadn't been causing trouble and then suddenly running away, I wouldn't have been harassed by them!"

"Okay, okay, it's my fault, it's my fault." Liu Ting raised the bottle. "Here, I'll punish myself with a bottle!"

She downed a whole bottle of baijiu in one go.

Liu Ting was actually a little embarrassed. When she received the research institute's notice to start work early at the end of July, she ran away without saying a word, never thinking about what her fervent followers would do.

I thought everyone would calm down in a few days, but contrary to my expectations, her reputation is growing stronger and stronger in the martial arts world of Jiangnan. Nearly half of the martial artists in Jiangnan Base City are frantically trying to find out her whereabouts, wanting to be whipped by the Queen again. It's just too abnormal.

However, the martial artists could never have imagined that someone of her level, a martial arts master, would go to Jiangnan University to do scientific research.

Her personal information was also controlled by the state, so martial artists couldn't find her at all, and could only bother Xu Xin. This was all her fault!

Yu Qiaoqiao appeared to be eating obediently, but in reality, her ears had already perked up. Upon hearing that "Liu Ting" actually had a high reputation and status in the martial arts world, she couldn't help but feel saddened by her own incompetence.

My junior sister is four years younger than me, but her research title is six levels higher than mine, and her martial arts skills are probably eight streets ahead of mine. I am a complete waste.

The following day, Jiangnan University started its new semester, and "Liu Ting" was still essentially a freshman, so theoretically she was required to attend classes.

Of course, she could have skipped the class; a simple phone call would have made the principal arrange it for her. But she decided to attend anyway.

Firstly, she had accepted money from the Xu family and needed to accompany Xu Xin; secondly, there was really nothing for her to do at the research institute, so she was bored out of her mind and decided to reminisce about her youth.

So she changed into a regular T-shirt and jeans, carried an empty backpack, and pretended to be an ordinary freshman, strolling leisurely into the teaching building.

There were several open classes on advanced mathematics this morning, and she and Xu Xin happened to be in the same classroom.

Of course, whether it's really just a coincidence or not, those who know, know. The Xu family has already spent hundreds of billions, so they wouldn't let things fall apart over such a small matter.

Xu Xin was already waiting for her at the classroom door. When she saw her arrive, she quickly pulled her to a seat at the back.

"Tingting, why didn't you even bring your textbooks?" Xu Xin asked, looking at Tingting's deflated backpack.

"Why bring textbooks? We don't need them in class," Liu Ting said matter-of-factly.

"So, you don't need textbooks in university?" Xu Xin tilted her head, puzzled by the huge difference between university and high school classes.

"It's not that I don't need textbooks when I go to university, it's that I don't need them."

"Liu Ting" nodded her head and said proudly, "Your knowledge is in your textbooks, shrouded in mist; but my knowledge is here, clear and detailed."

Xu Xin: "..."

The school bell rang.

A middle-aged male teacher, wearing glasses and appearing to be in his fifties, walked to the podium, cleared his throat, and said, "Hello, students, I am your advanced mathematics teacher, and my surname is Wang. Today is our first class..."

As Teacher Wang spoke, she glanced around the classroom.

Then, his gaze suddenly fixed on a certain spot in the back row, and he froze.
