CHAPTER 286: CHAPTER 286: ISN’T THAT INFURIATING?

"Auntie, Shen Jue and I are back." Rong Qingqing greeted Guo Lan as she entered.

When the elderly man with a head full of white hair turned around to look at her and Shen Jue, Rong Qingqing instantly recognized him.

It was a senior professor from the Mathematics Department of Qingcheng University.

"Professor Lin." Shen Jue greeted the elder and then introduced, "This is my fiancée, Rong Qingqing."

Professor Lin nodded, adjusted his glasses, and exclaimed, "Also called Rong Qingqing? Is it the ’Rong’ from ’Hua Xiang Rong’ and the ’Qing’ from ’Qing Ben Jia Ren’?"

"Yes, hello Professor Lin!" Rong Qingqing greeted Professor Lin.

"That’s quite a coincidence. I know another girl called Rong Qingqing as well, with the same name and the same characters." Professor Lin laughed heartily.

After Shen Jue and Rong Qingqing sat down beside him, Professor Lin handed a paper bag to Shen Jue.

"This is a commemorative booklet made by the organizing committee. It includes a list of names and scores of all previous top three winners of the mathematics competition up to this year. I was passing by, so I brought it over to you and stopped by to see you."

Talking about this, Professor Lin became sentimental, "I’ve interacted with so many contestants, but the one who made me grind my teeth in frustration the most was that Rong Qingqing who shares your fiancée’s name."

Rong Qingqing looked up at Professor Lin, then bashfully lowered her head without saying a word.

Don’t complain about her right in front of her.

"Both of you are rare talents in this field. Our Math Department at Qing University is eagerly waiting for you two. But one went to the Finance Department, you, having a family business to inherit, left me no choice. That Rong Qingqing is also infuriating, going to the Computer Science Department, couldn’t pull her back no matter what."

"But frankly, that Rong Qingqing is even more infuriating." Professor Lin patted his leg, "You got busy with your studies after entering university and started your own business, never participating in math competitions again. That mischievous girl Rong Qingqing went to the Computer Science Department but still entered the youth group math competition, winning three consecutive championships."

"Those three years she participated, the math competition champion trophy was all taken by her from the Computer Science Department, isn’t that infuriating?"

"Fortunately later, when she was a junior, she found out that the prize money for the computer science competition was more than ours for the math competition, so she switched to the computer competition. It was fortunate as both competitions were on the same day, otherwise knowing her, she’d definitely participate in both, leaving our Math Department with no face."

Professor Lin was so used to venting grievances that once he started, he couldn’t stop.

Rong Qingqing rubbed her nose tip.

Indeed.

At that time, she was quite upset and anonymously wrote a suggestion letter to the organizing committee, suggesting they should not schedule the events at the same time, as it was unfair for people like her who wanted to participate in both.

But the suggestion letter never received any response.

Rong Qingqing gave up the math competition and turned to the computer competition, indeed noticing that the prize money was two thousand more for the same name.

The main thing was, once she won the computer competition, people quickly sought her out, allowing Rong Qingqing to earn some side income while studying, thus not having to live on just steamed buns every day.

Professor Lin stayed at the Shen Family and spoke with Shen Jue for half an hour before getting up to leave. Rong Qingqing followed Guo Lan and Shen Jue to see Professor Lin to the door.

Once Professor Lin got into the car, Rong Qingqing immediately dashed inside, swiftly picking up the commemorative booklet Professor Lin left for Shen Jue.
