Chapter 597: Chapter 360 Quantum Speed Reading? (Subscription Requested)_1

As a graduate student majoring in physics, Ding Yue had some understanding of quantum mechanics.

Therefore, he decided to thoroughly read Xia Qing’s graduation thesis titled "On the Prospects of Quantum Mechanics in the Future Technology Industry".

After all, this thesis had passed the defense of the professors in the physics department, which meant that it certainly had some depth to it.

Having opened the thesis, Ding Yue started to seriously read it.

In the thesis, Xia Qing provided a systematic explanation of quantum mechanics and also included substantial insights from her own research.

Many complex concepts were clearly presented in the thesis. To be frank, Ding Yue believed that as an undergraduate thesis about quantum mechanics, it was faultless.

In fact, not many bachelor graduates from Double First-Class universities might not be able to produce such an excellent thesis.

Ding Yue continued to examine Xia Qing’s thesis more carefully and found that she was indeed very talented in quantum mechanics.

"This Xia Qing, if she pursues further studies specifically in quantum mechanics, she might achieve remarkable success."

Ding Yue mumbled to himself.

Eventually, Ding Yue finished reading Xia Qing’s thesis titled "On the Prospects of Quantum Mechanics in the Future Technology Industry".

He concluded that Xia Qing was indeed a promising talent.

Maybe in the next few years, Xia Qing wouldn’t have any significant achievements in the field of quantum mechanics, but in the next ten or twenty years, with continuous deepening of her research and more and more knowledge provided by Ding Yue.

Perhaps Xia Qing could break new ground in quantum mechanics, creating a breakthrough in quantum physics!

With this realization, Ding Yue, filled with anticipation, decided to keep Xia Qing at Mist City Arts and Science University for her further studies.

Because only by staying at Mist City Arts and Science University could she continue to get the learning boost provided by Ding Yue.

Once Xia Qing left Mist City Arts and Science University to attend graduate school elsewhere, the learning boost would gradually wear off, and she would no longer be the prodigy in the field of quantum mechanics.

Just as Ding Yue was about to call the head of the physics department, Pang Jianbo, Ding’s secretary, Wen Ruohan said: "Principal Ding, it’s lunchtime."

Hearing this, Ding Yue looked at the time and noted it was already twelve twenty-five.

He was so engrossed in reading Xia Qing’s thesis that he lost track of time.

"Alright, let’s go get lunch."

Ding Yue was about to call Pang Jianbo, but then thought that it was lunchtime and Pang Jianbo might be off work for lunch.

So Ding Yue planned to call Pang Jianbo in the afternoon and ask him to send Xia Qing to Ding Yue’s office.

"Alright."

Upon hearing Ding Yue say they were going for lunch, Wen Ruohan nodded enthusiastically.

The most exciting part of the day was going to the second canteen for lunch after the morning’s work.

"But it’s almost half past twelve," Ding Yue said as he stood up. "I guess all the food would have been taken by the students, right?"

Ding Yue usually got to the second canteen a few minutes early, so he could get there before the students who were taking classes, and enjoy hot and delicious food.

But it was about half an hour after twelve now, and the food in the canteen probably had been almost gone.

"Ah-"

Wen Ruohan nodded, "Yeah."

Wen Ruohan had experienced this before, going to the dining hall around twelve thirty and discovering that the food left at each window was far from fresh.

But it was still edible.

Ding Yue thought for a moment and then took out his cell phone to call his mother, Zhang Yuping.

"Hello, son, what’s up?"

As soon as he got through, he heard his mother’s familiar voice.

"Mom, could you make lunch for me and Secretary Wen?" Ding Yue decided to ask his mother for special treatment.

"You haven’t eaten yet?" Zhang Yuping asked.

"No, I was busy working and before I knew it, it’s this late. If I go to the cafeteria now, I guess there wouldn’t be much left of the good food."

Ding Yue mumbled.

"All right, son, you guys come over then," Zhang Yuping replied. "Don’t work too hard all the time."

When her son asked for special treatment, she had to oblige. Meanwhile, she reminded Ding Yue not to work too hard and forget to eat.

Having confirmed the arrangement with his mother, Ding Yue left the Administration Building with Wen Ruohan and headed to the second canteen.

As expected.

By the time they arrived at the second canteen, it was almost half past twelve. Although there were still many students having meals, the options at each window had been greatly reduced.

Fortunately, Ding Yue could still get special treatment.

"Huang."

Ding Yue saw his friend Huang Youjie not far away and greeted him.

"Yue, why are you guys just getting lunch now?" Huang Youjie, holding his lunch tray, asked Ding Yue with a puzzled expression.

"I was busy, and before I knew it, it was after twelve," Ding Yue replied with a smile.

Then Huang Youjie turned to Wen Ruohan and "criticized", "Secretary Wen, you’re at fault here. You should have reminded Principal Ding to eat lunch on time. We can’t let him work himself to death, haha."

Even though he used the word "criticized", it was obvious that Huang was joking.

Wen Ruohan quickly nodded. But it wasn’t really her fault today, Principal Ding was reading a student’s thesis. She couldn’t possibly interrupt him while he was so engrossed, could she?

"What about you? Why are you just coming now?" Ding Yue looked at Huang Youjie’s clean lunch tray. This indicated that Huang just came and was about to get food, not that he had finished eating.

Because if he had finished eating and washed his tray, there would be drops of water on the tray.

Huang Youjie has a big appetite. He used to use the canteen’s lunch plates, but then he bought himself a huge lunch tray.

"I was also kept busy doing some things, about Liu Ping’s family matter." Huang Youjie replied.

"Okay, I’ve asked my mom to make it separately, let’s eat together." Ding Yue saw Huang Youjie’s unexpected arrival.

Whether you’re cooking for two or three people, it’s still cooking after all.

"Sure!"

Hearing Ding Yue say that Auntie was already cooking, Huang Youjie immediately became very excited.

The food in the cafeteria was delicious for sure, but the best food was undeniably the meals cooked by Ding Yue’s mother, Auntie Zhang Yuping, which were so fragrant!

Therefore, Ding Yue’s mother, Zhang Yuping, made an extra portion for Huang.

"By the way, Huang, you said earlier that you were busy handling Liu Ping’s family affairs today. Has the official compensation been settled?"

Ding Yue was eating delicious food and asked Huang.

The only thing that would warrant Huang’s continued follow-up on Liu Ping’s family’s issue now would be the official compensation.

"Mhm, the compensation has been received in full." Huang Youjie nodded and said, "This Liu Yongzhi is quite miserable, having spent more than ten years in prison, his prime years have been wasted, and all he gets is this financial compensation."

Huang felt quite emotional about this incident.

"That’s because of some bugs in the law back then. Huang, shouldn’t you be determined to promote the rule of law in our Xia Country?"

Ding Yue jokingly said to Huang.

"Yes!"

Huang responded firmly, "But my personal influence is essentially inadequate. Once our Mist City Arts and Science University Law School becomes a well-known law institution in the country, we will have a voice and power."

"It’s a long road ahead." Ding Yue sighed.

During this lunch, Ding Yue basically chatted with Huang about Liu Ping and his father Liu Yongzhi, as well as Huang’s ambitious goals.

After lunch, Ding Yue took a nap in his apartment for an hour and a half, then went to his principal’s office.

The first thing Ding Yue did after returning to the office was to make a call to Pang Jianbo, the head of the Physics Department.

"Hello, Principal Ding."

"Director Pang, notify that student Xia Qing to come to my office." Ding Yue instructed.

"Alright, Principal Ding!"

Ding Yue, not knowing whether it was because Pang Jianbo’s notice was lacking or not, waited for almost half an hour and Xia Qing hadn’t shown up.

Just as Ding Yue was about to give Pang Jianbo another call to check, there was a knock on his office door.

Knock, knock, knock!

"Come in!"

The person who entered the office was none other than Xia Qing from the Physics Department.

"Principal Ding, you called me?" Xia Qing asked somewhat cautiously after coming in.

"Sit."

Ding Yue gestured, and then directly asked, "I heard that you have completed your graduation thesis and passed the defense?"

"Mhm."

Xia Qing nodded.

It was evident that he was quite proud. After all, among the entire Mist City Arts and Science University, those who could complete their undergraduate studies, finish their thesis, and pass the defense in two years—and be about to apply for their graduation certificate—were very few.

In the Physics Department, Principal Ding was the first.

Then Xia Qing was the second.

"According to the school’s teaching rules and regulations, since you have completed all the credits and the defense of your graduation thesis, you can apply for early graduation. At that time, I will personally grant you the graduation certificate."

Ding Yue said with a smile to Xia Qing.

"Thank you, Principal Ding." Xia Qing bowed in gratitude to Principal Ding.

"It’s my duty. You have utilized your strength to graduate early. I’ve also read your graduation thesis, and it was very well-written. What are your plans next? Going to grad school?"

Ding Yue asked again.

"Principal Ding, I...I’ve already found a job." Xia Qing said nervously.

"Huh?"

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue was slightly surprised.

Finishing undergraduate studies in physics in less than two years and then just going to work?

Not going to grad school?

For a physics genius like Xia Qing, it would be a shame if he doesn’t go to grad school!

"Xia Qing, aren’t you going to grad school?" Ding Yue immediately asked.

Xia Qing looked a bit uncomfortable and didn’t answer Principal Ding immediately.

Seeing this, Ding Yue asked again, "What kind of job did you find?"

If he’s not going to grad school, then he must have found a very good job, right? But what job could that be?

"It’s a technical consultant position at a company." Xia Qing answered with a low voice.

A technical consultant at a company?

It sounds pretty good. If it’s a large company, and it’s a technical consultant involved in physics, then Xia Qing’s job must be pretty good.

"What company?" Ding Yue asked.

"The Einstein Quantum Speed Reading Education Group." Xia Qing hesitated for a bit before answering Principal Ding.

Ding Yue: What the hell???!!!
