Chapter 806: Lei Xiao Makes A Date

Wu Yue thought about the freshmen accepted for the Physics department this year. There were a few girls, but he had already checked their grades. They had simply scored enough to make the cutoff for the Science department.

Wu Yue scratched his head and asked. “What is her name?”

“She’s Huo Yao,” said Rong Jun.

The moment Wu Yue heard her name, he was caught by surprise. He did not recall having known a student by that name, but it sounded particularly familiar.

He seemed to have heard it somewhere before.

Wu Yue paid attention to the college entrance exam results, but he only followed the results of the Science division since those were the people who would end up joining the faculty. Huo Yao was the top arts scholar, so he happened to know about her, but it was normal for the name to have slipped his mind.

However, he glanced at Prof Rong without asking further since he would find out in time when she came to register.

“Sure. I will look out for her.” Wu Yue nodded.

“Uh huh,” acknowledged Rong Jun before he added. “I think I should be around that day. Whatever it is, just bring her over to me when she comes here.”

“Yes, Prof Rong,” said Wu Yue reverently.

Since Prof Rong felt highly of this new student, he naturally put her on top priority.

Rong Jun was a fellow at the Physics department and he was also a national first-class researcher. Anyone who caught his eye ought to be a genius.

There hadn’t been any geniuses in the Physics department for years, so they were unable to keep up with the pace of other countries when it came to research. Prof Rong had been very worried about this.

He sincerely hoped that the freshmen this year could make a breakthrough and change things.

Other than Huo Yao, there were a few particularly outstanding freshmen this year as well.

Lei Xiao called Huo Yao to eat out the next day when he found that she was in town.

Since she was free, she agreed to see him.

They had made plans to eat at a private home-cooking restaurant and Chen Ming drove Huo Yao over.

Lei Xiao was already waiting for her inside. The moment he saw Huo Yao, his eyes lit up as he greeted. “Hi, Miss Big Shot.”

He did not find it uneasy to call a young woman ‘Miss Big Shot’ even though he was a middle-aged man in his thirties.

Huo Yao was already accustomed to this, so she simply nodded and took a seat.

Lei Xiao passed the menu to Huo Yao and said, “I didn’t expect you to arrive so quickly.”

“The freshmen have to report to school two days ahead of time,” explained Huo Yao unhurriedly.

Lei Xiao leaned against his elbow as he nodded. “Ahh! I graduated so long ago that I forgot about this.”

Huo Yao raised her brow before ordering a couple of dishes which she liked and then handed over the menu to Lei Xiao. “Did you get promoted?”

Lei Xiao ordered the dishes before he cleared his throat and replied to her. “Uh huh. I have you to thank for helping me with the statistics last year. Otherwise, we would be in big trouble.”

Huo Yao picked up the teacup and took a sip before she asked. “Are you still working on that experiment?”

Lei Xiao nodded. “Hmm. Thanks to your formula, we were able to see things from another perspective. I think the results should be out this year.”

Huo Yao was able to deduce the principle theory and also corrected the erroneous and redundant argument which his research laboratory had come up with. She had successfully helped to prevent a lethal virus from being created.

“Once the results are out, you will probably get promoted again,” said Huo Yao and smiled ambiguously.
