Chapter 187: 186. Interview Assistant

"The graduate students at our school are in for a treat; those assistantship positions are very likely to be chosen from among us!"

"As the saying goes, ’the nearest to the pagoda will get the moon first,’ and it couldn’t be more true."

"The campus website says students from Medical University can sign up first; they just need to pass interviews with a few professors. Should we join in the fun, too?"

"Forget about it, we don’t even have the qualifications to be mentored by a supervisor yet. Aren’t those spots going to be fiercely competed for by the top students?"

"Now that you mention it, several students under Professor Lin are quite outstanding; they’re definitely going to be involved in this research project."

"You’re right, Du An, a senior student, is really capable!"

"And then there’s Meng Yunyun, a junior, who is also a student of Professor Lin!"

Just as the students were discussing this heatedly, someone began to spill the beans.

"Eh? Don’t you know? The favored students of several professors have already been through interviews—"

This statement immediately captured everyone’s attention.

"What? The campus website just posted the news, how did they interview so quickly?"

"Yeah, that’s not logical!"

"What’s illogical about it? Professor Yu is setting up a project in our lab; such big news, of course, the professors knew first. It’s pretty normal for them to recommend their own students."

"Moreover, Professor Yu also mentioned that it’s just an interview at this stage. I heard that the assistant hasn’t been selected yet, so everyone still has a chance to be involved."

"But... with someone like Du An, who is already one of the top students at our school, even if we get the opportunity to interview alongside him, we’re not in the same league—"

"Pfft—That’s the sorrow of us underachievers; we’re so far behind the geniuses!"

"Forget about it, let’s sign up first!"

"Yeah, sign up first and talk later. What if we get lucky?"

"Damn! Can’t you speak more civilized?"

...

Inside a classroom in Building 3, Meng Yunyun overheard the surrounding conversations and couldn’t help but recall the scene from the interview a few days ago.

Her roommate began to inquire.

"Yunyun, did you really go with Senior Du An to interview for the assistant position on this research project?"

"Yes, we were taken to Professor Yu’s lab by Professor Lin."

"Wow—Professor Yu’s lab! I’ve never been there; I wonder what it looks like?"

Meng Yunyun thought for a moment and shook her head, "It’s just a lab; the ones at our university all look alike, with mostly the same equipment and layout."

"Even though you say that, I’m still jealous that you got to see it. By the way... how did the interview go?"

Her roommate immediately looked hopeful.

Success would certainly be something to celebrate, and even as Meng Yunyun’s friend, it would give her great prestige.

Meng Yunyun noticeably hesitated upon hearing this.

"I don’t know; I managed to answer all the questions Professor Yu asked, but I’m not too clear about how the others did."

"Answering Professor Yu’s questions is already pretty impressive, okay? You’ve already thoroughly researched that paper on Snow Soul Grass. Don’t worry, the interview must have gone well!"

As her roommate, of course, she knew how much Meng Yunyun had valued that paper during this period.

But now, thinking about it... could it be that she had known about the project and started preparing for it in advance?
