Super God-Level Top Student

```

Receiving the donation from Apple Inc. was a simple and direct affair.

The contract was signed in the morning, and the money was in the account by the afternoon.

For Cheng Xuyang, just when he had completely given up hope on Xilin University of Technology's attitude, he was met with an unexpected surprise.

For instance, after the contract was signed, the university still invited several local media outlets to take a few photos.

At the very least, it would make the local news.

Although Cheng Xuyang didn't really care about this, spending so much money and getting some brand promotion out of it was nevertheless good.

However, what Cheng Xuyang admired most was the leadership of Xilin University of Technology's stance on not counting their chickens before they hatched.

Even though the contract had been signed and both parties had posed for photos with a prop cheque for twenty million in front of the media, the young man was still nowhere to be seen at the lunch event.

When he inquired, the answer he got was relaxed, mentioning that the kid was still busy with research and would only be free in the evening.

Such excuses, naturally, Cheng Xuyang didn't believe.

At the start of the school year, an eighteen-year-old student was already so busy that he didn't even have time for lunch?

However, after lunch and a short rest, as arranged by Xilin University of Technology, in the afternoon, a vice president surnamed Zheng took him around the campus. When they reached the optical laboratory building, Cheng Xuyang fell silent.

"Director Cheng, this is where Qiao Ze is currently staying. His laboratory is on the third floor, but as you can see, this place is now a confidential unit, and even I don't have permission to go up," said Zheng Luhua, pointing to the sign hanging at the entrance of the enclosed fence of the laboratory building, and explained with a chuckle.

Cheng Xuyang looked at the building that, apart from a sign that read "Confidential Unit, No Admittance Without Permission," had no other signs, nodded, and replied, "No problem, I understand."

"But don't worry, Director Cheng, the university has already notified Qiao Ze, and he will definitely make time tonight," Zheng Luhua added with a smile.

"Alright," Cheng Xuyang nodded, barely suppressing the urge to blurt out that it didn't matter if he really didn't have time.

He had noticed that it wasn't suitable here to use certain polite business phrases, because the person on the other end might actually take you up on them.

They were all masters of playing it by ear.

After a tour of the campus, they arranged a special rest room for him to take a break.

The university had asked Cheng Xuyang if he would like them to organize a lecture event specially for him.

Many students would probably attend, and Cheng Xuyang could talk about the significance behind this scholarship donation, but after considering it, he still refused.

It was strange, but he simply didn't want to say much here.

He would rather deal with work in the rest room.

By six in the afternoon, he was once again cordially invited to a refined private dining room on the second floor of the university staff canteen.

One had to admit that the university was still very enthusiastic, and although President Chen, who attended the luncheon, was not there, two vice presidents came, along with the dean of the benefiting school and several other significant figures from the university offices.

Vice President Zheng, who had been accompanying him all afternoon, made warm introductions.

However, after politely exchanging greetings and sitting down, Cheng Xuyang still hadn't seen the person he had come specifically to meet. The main reason he refrained from asking was that two seats were left open on the circular dining table after everyone sat down.

Fortunately, someone politely offered an explanation.

"Director Cheng, I apologize on behalf of the School of Mathematics. Qiao Ze will be late; he was discussing some academic matters with mathematicians today and mentioned he still had one email to answer. He'll come over once he's done writing it. It's getting late, should we start serving the dishes and eat while we wait?"

The speaker was Xu Dajiang.

Cheng Xuyang gave Zheng Luhua a look.

Great, busy with research in the morning, and no time because of academic discussions with mathematicians in the afternoon...

Really, he wanted to ask, was there nobody else at this university?

But when he spoke, he did so very politely, saying, "No need, I'm actually not hungry yet. I'm just quite curious, it seems that Qiao Ze has all things coinciding today?"

After saying that, Cheng Xuyang suddenly felt the atmosphere at the dining table become a bit strange.

He admitted that his comments had a mocking tone, but it wasn't to the extent that everyone would look at the dean of the School of Mathematics with what he couldn't describe.

Was it his words that were inappropriate, or was it that the dean's words had struck a sensitive nerve with the others?

"Haha, it's not really all about today. But today is indeed a bit special, Director Cheng. You don't work in research, so you might not be aware of some matters. Simply put, Qiao Ze has recently been applying for expert qualification, for the time being..."

"Qiao, it's this way."

The crisp voice interrupted Xu Dajiang's explanation.

Turning his head, Su Mucheng's sprightly figure was standing at the doorway, gesturing towards the side corridor.

Xu Dajiang subconsciously stood up. "What a coincidence, the person has arrived. That..."

When Qiao Ze appeared, Su Mucheng boldly took Qiao Ze's hand and walked into the private room, and then sweetly greeted the only person she recognized on behalf of Qiao Ze: "Dean Xu, we've arrived."

"Haha, have a seat, please sit down. Here, Qiao Ze, Mu Cheng, let me introduce you. This gentleman is Director Cheng from Apple Inc., Mr. Cheng Xuyang..."

...

After Cheng Xuyang watched Qiao Ze's excessively youthful face and said, "Hello" to him, Qiao Ze nodded at Cheng Xuyang as a greeting.
