Chapter 740: Chapter 740 Strange Misunderstandings Chapter 740: Chapter 740 Strange Misunderstandings Pei Yao massaged his forehead and sent Qiao Yun a message: “Boss, don’t you want to think it over a bit more before speaking?”

“Is there something wrong with what I said?”

“It’s not that it’s wrong, but won’t it be too much of an encouragement? They are high school seniors…”

Qiao Yun raised an eyebrow and replied, “Oh, as long as it’s not bad, then it’s good.”

“…” Pei Yao’s lip twitched, and the thought of the entire school hearing this audio through the broadcast the next day made him wonder just how much animosity it would bring upon Professor Qiao.

Ah, truly something to look forward to.

…

On Monday, as Qiao Yun went to school, she encountered Li Miao at the school gate.

As soon as Li Miao saw Qiao Yun, she greeted her cheerfully and affectionately took her hand, whispering, “Qiaoqiao, have you heard the news?”

“Hmm?” Qiao Yun was puzzled, “Heard what?”

Li Miao said with a face full of gossip, “Isn’t our school known for getting accomplished alumni to motivate us every year during the college entrance exam period?”

Qiao Yun nodded; she was aware of this.

Li Miao spoke with excitement, “When I entered, I heard the duty teacher talking, saying that this year’s alum is no ordinary person! Do you want to know who it is?”

Qiao Yun’s expression cooperated as though she really wanted to know and urged her to tell quickly.

However, in Li Miao’s eyes, Qiao Yun still had that cold expression, which clearly didn’t seem curious at all.

Ignoring Qiao Yun’s expression, Li Miao said with excitement, “It’s our school’s honorary principal! This year, the principal is the one coming to fire us up. You don’t know how mysterious the principal is, none of the students have ever seen him. If it wasn’t for this sudden speaking engagement, I would have forgotten that our school even had an honorary principal.”

Ever since the school was established, there had always been an honorary principal, a position held by a descendant of the school’s founder.

They normally don’t get involved in the school affairs, but they hold extraordinarily large powers, even greater than those of the board members.

But this honorary principal had never appeared, or perhaps he had, just that nobody had noticed.

Li Miao said, “It’s been so secretive that it’s even piqued my interest.”

Qiao Yun straightened her back and batted her curly lashes, “Are you very curious?”

Li Miao nodded, “Of course, people are always curious about the unknown, and I’m not an exception.”

Qiao Yun thought she and Li Miao were very good friends, and now that her good friend was curious about her, it wouldn’t be wrong to tell her.

Without much hesitation, Qiao Yun opened her mouth to speak, “Actually…”

Li Miao didn’t wait for Qiao Yun to finish before baring her teeth and saying angrily, “I am very curious, what does this super perverted honorary principal, who develops such twisted teaching materials and always satisfies himself by squeezing the students, look like?”

Qiao Yun: “…”

It seemed that her good friend had some weird misconceptions about her.

Huffing, Li Miao said, “If I knew what the honorary principal looked like, I would curse him every day, um… I would just curse him to go bald.”

Qiao Yun raised her hand to touch her thick, slightly curly black hair and reassured Li Miao, “It’s impossible to go bald.”

Li Miao: Huh?

Qiao Yun muttered, “Still young, won’t go bald.”

Even if I were to go bald, I’d just have the hair transplanted back.

Li Miao didn’t understand and thought Qiao Yun, as a good student, was defending the principal. She sighed, “Okay, okay, won’t go bald.”

Qiao Yun nodded vigorously.

Li Miao huffed in dissatisfaction again, “I hope the principal will be nice this time and speak kindly.”

Qiao Yun said, “He is a nice person.”

Li Miao felt weary, Qiaoqiao really was a good student, always defending the bald principal like that.

Qiao Yun and Li Miao parted ways at the stairwell, each heading to their own class. Qiao Yun hadn’t even reached her classroom when she ran into the homeroom teacher, Wu Xianfeng.

Wu Xianfeng’s eyes brightened when he saw Qiao Yun. After all, who wouldn’t like a well-behaved student whose academic performance was so outstanding?

The only issue was that this good student was too reserved. If it weren’t for her outstanding grades, she would probably be unnoticeable in class.

Wu Xianfeng always thought that Qiao Yun behaved this way because she grew up in the countryside and was not used to the big city, feeling inferior and thus introverted.

He usually took extra care of Qiao Yun.

“Teacher, good morning,” said Qiao Yun dutifully greeting him.

“Good morning,” Wu Xianfeng replied with a smile and casually asked, “Have you decided on your college major yet, Qiao student?”

Qiao Yun was taken aback. She really hadn’t thought about it.

When she returned to the Lu Family, she had only planned to stay for half a year before leaving, although now things had gone beyond her initial plan. But regarding schooling, she hadn’t thought that far ahead.

Wu Xianfeng assumed and said, “A talent like you is perfect for Shangjing University. Have you considered applying there? My former teacher teaches at Shangjing University. I could introduce you to him.”

Such outstanding talent should not be wasted on others.

Hearing this, Qiao Yun looked up and asked, “Your teacher’s teacher?”

Wu Xianfeng said proudly, “Yes, his surname is Xu, Xu Long. I don’t know if you’ve heard of him, but he’s an expert in computer science. You must be interested in computers, or else you wouldn’t have participated in the Star Cup last year.”

Qiao Yun fell silent.

What a coincidence, your mentor is my student. His grandson was even calling me ‘ancestor’ yesterday.

Wu Xianfeng didn’t notice Qiao Yun’s slightly odd expression and continued, “In recent years, my teacher hasn’t come across any promising students, so he’s been considering retirement. But now with you, I estimate he won’t retire. I’ll visit my teacher soon and see if he’s interested in taking on a disciple.”

Qiao Yun declined tactfully, “There’s no need to go to such trouble.”

Wu Xianfeng, intent on not missing out on talent, forgot to ask for Qiao Yun’s thoughts, “You can discuss any ideas you have with me.”

Qiao Yun spoke slowly, “I haven’t decided yet, about university.”

What she meant was that she hadn’t planned to continue her studies.

Qiao Yun’s knowledge base was not something ordinary people could compare with, and her achievements were already high. For her, schooling was optional.

Attending school now was merely a necessary part of human experience, and she had already nearly finished her research on being human.

Wu Xianfeng, however, misunderstood, thinking that Qiao Yun didn’t have confidence in getting into Shangjing University, and immediately admired her, “Worthy of being the top student citywide, with such good grades still worried about not being accepted. That’s good, it’s right to have a sense of crisis.”

Qiao Yun’s lips twitched.

“Don’t worry, Shangjing University is a piece of cake for you. With your grades, you can get a guaranteed spot, but you insist on refusing.”

Many renowned universities had extended invitations to Qiao Yun, all of which she had ruthlessly declined.

Wu Xianfeng had sighed over this for some time.

Qiao Yun refused these schools’ offers because she knew they were all after her status.

She didn’t want to take up the guaranteed spots that belonged to normal students. It wouldn’t be fair to them.
