I manage female characters in all the heavens.

That's... Liu Ting?

Academician Liu from the Institute of High Energy Physics?!

Why did she come to my class? Is she here to test my teaching skills?

Teacher Wang felt a sudden panic.

Although he was considered a senior teacher at the school, his professional title was only junior scholar, equivalent to a researcher at a research institute, which was a full 6 levels lower than a junior academician!

These teachers, who make a living by teaching and nurturing students, all follow the path of becoming mentors, scholars, and professors within the academic system.

Because it is completely unrelated to martial artists, the academy system is far inferior to the research system and the martial artist system, naturally ranking a whole level lower.

His title of junior scholar is equivalent to that of a junior researcher at the Institute of High Energy Physics.

As for the mentor level below scholars, it is only comparable to the trainee researcher at the Institute of High Energy Physics.

By this calculation, Yu Qiaoqiao is actually quite impressive. After all, she became a trainee researcher during her four years of undergraduate studies and became a junior researcher directly after graduation, surpassing the vast majority of students at Jiangnan University.

Jiangnan University is one of the six top universities in China.

Let's get back to Teacher Wang.

What was supposed to be a normal, uneventful public lecture suddenly turned into a huge pressure when a big shot showed up and sat in the audience to listen to him!

If I say something wrong and the expert points it out on the spot, I'll be incredibly embarrassed!

Moreover, it's not just embarrassing; if the news gets out, it will definitely have a huge negative impact on his future promotion and salary increase!

Teacher Wang took a deep breath and decided to be extremely careful and absolutely not make a mistake.

Liu Ting, sitting in the back row, didn't even notice that the teacher on the podium was sweating with nervousness.

Fortunately, "Liu Ting" had no interest in listening to their lectures. As soon as class started, she would take out her phone to watch videos, play games, read novels, and so on. On her first day of freshman year, she was as composed as a seasoned senior.

Xu Xin, sitting upright next to her, caught a glimpse of Liu Ting's behavior out of the corner of her eye and couldn't help but kick her with her foot, saying in a low voice, "Tingting! What are you doing? Listen to the lesson properly, or the teacher will scold you!"

"Insult me?" Liu Ting didn't even look up. "If he really dares to insult me, then I must praise him for his courage and recommend him to the front lines to fight."

Xu Xin sighed helplessly and could only turn back to continue listening to the lecture.

After a while, Liu Ting seemed to lose interest in her phone.

She tossed her phone onto the table, leaned back in her chair, stretched, and then her gaze began to wander.

I looked at the ceiling, at the window, at the teacher on the podium, at the backs of the students in the front row...

As she looked around, her gaze fell on Xu Xin's hair beside her.

Xu Xin has long, smooth, jet-black hair that falls over her shoulders and shines with a healthy glow in the sunlight streaming in from the window.

Liu Ting stared at that strand of hair for a few seconds, then suddenly reached out, gently lifted a strand, and wrapped it around her finger a few times.

Xu Xin felt her hair being tugged, and her body stiffened slightly, but she didn't turn around.

Liu Ting, caught up in the fun, brought a strand of hair to Xu Xin's ear and gently tickled her earlobe with the tip of the hair.

Xu Xin's face flushed red instantly.

She bit her lip, trying to suppress the itch, and pretended to continue listening to the lesson as if nothing was wrong.

Seeing her trying so hard to hold back, Liu Ting had even more fun and tickled her a few more times.

Finally, Xu Xin could no longer tolerate it.

While the teacher turned around to write on the blackboard, she quickly turned around, grabbed a strand of Liu Ting's hair, and swiftly scratched it back.

Liu Ting was taken aback by the retaliatory attack and couldn't help but laugh.

Just then, Teacher Wang on the podium turned around.

His gaze swept across the back row, where he saw Liu Ting smiling, while Xu Xin sat ramrod straight with a tense expression.

Teacher Wang's heart skipped a beat: What is Academician Liu laughing at? Did I say something wrong? Or did I derive one of my formulas incorrectly?

He felt cold sweat break out on his back.

But after carefully examining the blackboard and reflecting on what he had just said, he confirmed that there were no mistakes and was immediately thrown into a state of confusion.

What exactly went wrong?!

But at this moment, Xu Xin's mind was filled with a completely different scene.

She sat up straight, but her heart was pounding.

From childhood to adulthood, she had never played around with her classmates in class and had always been a well-behaved girl who listened attentively in class. Today, she suddenly did this, as if she had done something very important, and she was so nervous that she could hardly breathe.

That counterattack just now was entirely impulsive.

But at the same time, a thrilling feeling of secretly doing something naughty lingered in her heart, making her unable to stop and wanting to do it again.

Tingting, you're so naughty!

Chapter 254: Too prolific, even the big boss admires it.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and "Liu Ting" was living a very comfortable life.

At the Institute of High Energy Physics, her research group, under her "wise leadership," has produced several more major technological achievements.

The ultra-miniature concentrated fusion battery, the new low-cost ultra-high-strength alloy, and the new urban air defense system based on the principle of geomagnetic levitation are all of great significance.

Any one of these achievements would be enough to shake the world for years to come. Now, they are being "produced" one after another by Liu Ting's research group, like canned goods on an assembly line, and then packaged and submitted to the highest national defense science and technology center.

The review committee of the Supreme Defense Science and Technology Center has been going crazy lately.

Before the verification of the previous technology is finished, the next technology arrives; before the next one is reviewed, the one after that arrives.

The experts on the review committee worked overtime until late at night, their eyes were darker than a panda's, their hair was falling out in clumps, and they even dreamed about looking at data reports.

They simply couldn't understand how Liu Ting had managed to do it. Did she live off scientific research? Did she feel restless if she didn't produce results every day?

We can't possibly verify them all, we simply can't!

However, Liu Ting, the project leader who "developed" these technologies, lived a very leisurely life.

He would go to class when he had classes, chat with Xu Xin, the teachers, and his classmates; when he didn't have classes, he would go to the Institute of High Energy Physics to play games, scroll through his phone, or sleep. In short, he didn't study or work properly.

When her research team came to report on their progress, she didn't even lift her eyelids, simply saying "Not bad."

If pressed for details about what was good about it, she would add, "If you want specific praise, go to Yu Qiaoqiao; also, go to her for review and approval."

The tone and attitude made it seem as if Yu Qiaoqiao was the project manager.

However, this person who spends his days slacking off and not doing his job is able to produce one world-shaking achievement after another.

This makes it impossible to find a reason to criticize her.

However, with the support of several major technological achievements, everyone accepted her lazy attitude and found excuses for it.

The way people looked at her was no longer that of a genius girl, but rather with a kind of reverence that was almost like looking at a deity.

"Academician Liu is sleeping again today."

"Don't make a sound, let her sleep. She must have been working on some technical problem for several nights in a row. Now that she can finally get some rest, let's not disturb her."

“You’re right. The other day I went to her office to deliver some documents and saw a huge pile of draft paper on her desk. I couldn’t even understand what was written on it; it was dozens of pages long.”

"She may appear to be sleeping or playing games, but she is definitely calculating something silently, we just didn't see it."

"That's right, that's right! It's not that Academician Liu is lazy, it's that we're too incompetent! Her mind works too fast; we mere mortals can't even see her back. She has to stop and wait for us!"

This claim spread wider and wider within the Institute of High Energy Physics, becoming increasingly believable until it almost became a consensus.

Everyone firmly believed that Liu Ting wasn't idle because she was lazy, but because those who helped her were such a drag on her.

Academician Liu did 99% of the work by himself, leaving the remaining 1% to them. But they couldn't even do that 1% well, and Academician Liu had to clean up their messes.

Academician Liu never scolded them or urged them; he just quietly waited for them to finish their work.

She would rather suffer in silence than put extra pressure on them. What a gentle, considerate, and great leader she is!

Thinking about this, the research team members not only didn't think there was anything wrong with Liu Ting's laziness, but they all felt extremely guilty, feeling that they were simply wasting Academician Liu's precious time.

Several senior experts even volunteered to work overtime so that they could get more work done and at least not keep Academician Liu waiting too long.

Liu Ting herself was completely baffled by this.

Ah yes, yes, yes, I'm suffering from a painful leisure and forced to play. You guys have really made this academician suffer!

The senior executives at the High Energy Physics Research Institute had very mixed feelings about Liu Ting's "highly productive like a sow but leisurely like a retired cadre" state.

On the one hand, they were proud that the research institute had produced such a genius; on the other hand, they couldn't help but wonder if it was a waste of Academician Liu's talents to stay with them.

Although the Institute of High Energy Physics is considered top-tier in China, it lags behind world-class institutions in terms of both manpower and resources.

The Institute of High Energy Physics simply does not have the capacity to meet Academician Liu's ever-expanding research needs.

Academician Liu is doing research too fast, so fast that his research group can't even see his back, and so fast that even the highest defense science and technology center can't keep up with his simple review and verification.

Under these circumstances, keeping her at the High Energy Research Institute would simply be hindering the progress of humanity!

She deserves a better and bigger stage!

On September 16, "Liu Ting" was lying on the sofa in the research institute's lounge, listening to music and playing games with headphones on, when her phone suddenly vibrated.

She picked it up and saw the caller ID: Yao Weiwu.

Wow, the big boss called personally.

She answered the phone, her tone casual as if chatting with a neighbor: "Hello, Mr. Yao, I'm truly flattered that you could still remember me amidst your busy schedule."

Because of her technical expertise and the awards she received, she has been in frequent contact with Yao Weiwu recently. Thanks to her silver tongue and scientific talent, Yao Weiwu has become an acquaintance of hers.

Yao Weiwu chuckled on the other end of the phone, and without beating around the bush, went straight to the point:

"Xiaoliu, I've come to you today to ask you something. Are you interested in coming to Kyoto Base City and working at the National Defense Science and Technology Research Institute?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ting raised an eyebrow.

Like the Institute of High Energy Physics, the National Defense Science and Technology Research Institute is one of the six highest scientific and technological research institutions in the country, but it is much stronger than the Institute of High Energy Physics in all aspects.

Moreover, the National Defense Science and Technology Research Institute is not affiliated with any university; it is directly managed by the military and has an extremely large number of personnel and resources at its disposal.

There are five senior academicians over there, and the funding for any one of their project teams is equivalent to the budget of most of the Institute of High Energy Physics.

Even if her professional title remains the same after going there, the resources she can access will increase several times over, and her treatment will also improve significantly.
