NOVEL NEXT Chapter 262: Such High Awareness!
Because the other party was slightly stronger than him, he used the words "admire."
While "appreciate".
It sounds more like something said from someone higher to someone lower.
Although I think you're impressive, your strength compared to mine is still lacking.
In such a case.
To use the word "appreciate".
When Wang Ye spoke these words, the implied meaning was clearly that Wang Ye felt he was somewhat better than Wei Dongyi in mathematics.
Wei Dongyi looked at Wang Ye, but the expression in his eyes wasn't one of anger.
Instead.
It was somewhat excited, somewhat thrilled.
With a slightly stammering voice, Wei Dongyi asked Wang Ye, "You... you mean to say, you are actually better than me in mathematics?"
Wei Dongyi was very straightforward.
After hearing the hint in Wang Ye's words, Wei Dongyi directly asked him aloud.
The people at the scene then turned their attention to Wang Ye.
Waiting to see how Wang Ye would respond next.
In their view, Wang Ye had just thrown out a boast, and now he would likely backpedal.
After all, how could Wang Ye possibly surpass Wei Dongyi in mathematics?
Wang Ye was very talented in business and had achieved the pinnacle in traditional Chinese medicine.
Both of these areas required energy to research and learn.
Even if Wang Ye truly liked mathematics and researched it, the key problem was that he didn't have enough energy to dedicate to studying mathematics.
On the other hand, Wei Dongyi.
He absolutely dedicated all his energy solely to mathematics.
Even his everyday attire was hastily put together.
In such a case, how could Wang Ye's research in mathematics possibly exceed that of Wei Dongyi?
Under Wei Dongyi's earnest gaze, Wang Ye nodded and spoke with a somewhat solemn tone, "Correct!"
Wow!
One "correct" caused an immense shift in the emotions of those present.
They hadn't expected Wang Ye to respond in such a way.
They thought Wang Ye would deny it.
But, unexpectedly, Wang Ye straightforwardly stated that his capabilities in mathematics were indeed stronger than those of Wei Dongyi!
They knew entrepreneurs like to brag spiritedly.
But the key issue was that even if one were bragging, one should consider in front of whom they were boasting.
If Wei Dongyi weren't there, and Wang Ye said his mathematical abilities surpassed those of Wei Dongyi, although those present would think Wang Ye was just talking nonsense, they would still flatter him a bit.
But the key issue was.
We were right here in Wei Dongyi's presence!
Wang Ye was bragging right in front of him.
And given Wei Dongyi's straightforward nature, he was definitely not going to just simply smooth things over with a few words of agreement.
Everyone looked at Wei Dongyi.
Intending to see how Wei Dongyi would handle this situation next.
Although they all knew that it was somewhat unlikely for the candid Wei Dongyi to say something flattering about Wang Ye next, since things had reached this point, they still harbored some hope.
They hoped that Wei Dongyi might come to his senses in the following moments and praise Wang Ye a bit.
However.
Wei Dongyi, looking very excited, said to Wang Ye:
"That's great! I've recently felt that I haven't found anyone who could match me in mathematics, which has really troubled me lately."
After "Versailles" Wei Dongyi said to Wang Ye, "But now that I've met you, how about we have a contest to see who is better?"
Even Jiu Xinghong and the others could feel Wei Dongyi's sincerity in the challenge from Wei Dongyi's words.
Wei Dongyi genuinely believed that Wang Ye was better than him in mathematics.
Whatever Wang Ye said,
he believed.
Seeing this,
Jiu Xinghong and others felt somewhat helpless.
Wei Dongyi trusted Wang Ye so much, yet he didn't realize that the words Wang Ye had just spoken were actually just bragging.
At the same time, Jiu Xinghong and the others began to worry.
If Wang Ye were to lose to Wei Dongyi, would Wang Ye be unhappy?
After all, if Wang Ye could brag in such a situation, it meant he had a sense of vanity.
If Wang Ye became unhappy, then their plan to have Wang Ye give a lecture at Swan City College of Engineering might fail, right?
And if Wei Dongyi discovered that Wang Ye didn't really have that ability and was just bragging, perhaps Wei Dongyi would be angry for being deceived.
At that time,
it would also be difficult to persuade Wei Dongyi to go to Swan City College of Social Administration for a lecture.
In that case,
their plan for the evening would be in vain.
For a moment,
whether it was Jiu Xinghong's side or the College of Engineering, they harbored some resentment towards Wang Ye.
Why did Wang Ye have to brag like that?
Wouldn't it have been better to be honest?
Now look, they took it seriously and even wanted to challenge him directly.
If the challenge failed,
then wouldn't Wang Ye be embarrassed?
It wasn't just Wang Ye who would be embarrassed.
Their plan would also fall through.
At this moment,
they could only hope that Wang Ye would stop fooling around and directly refuse Wei Dongyi.
In that case,
without a competition, Wei Dongyi would not know that Wang Ye was deceiving him.
However,
Wang Ye, as if opposing Jiu Xinghong and the others, casually nodded in response to Wei Dongyi's challenge:
"Sure."
Upon hearing this, Jiu Xinghong and others immediately crowded around and spoke to both Wang Ye and Wei Dongyi:
"What we came here for tonight isn't to see which of you is better at math, but just to get to know each other. Let's not compete for now; let's eat together and have a good time."
"Right, we've all come out, so let's all have a good time together."
"It's rare to relax, what's the point of comparing at this time? Shouldn't we all be happy and joyful instead?"
Jiu Xinghong and several leaders from Swan City College of Social Administration, along with several leaders from Swan City Engineering University, joined together to persuade them.
However,
upon hearing what Jiu Xinghong and others had said, Wei Dongyi, with a serious face, turned his gaze to Wei Dongyi and the other leaders and sternly said to the leaders:
"I feel that your point isn't correct."
"Academic discussions can be held at any time."
"And in my opinion, having a worthy opponent to compete with in math is, to me, the most joyful thing!"
Such high consciousness!
Jiu Xinghong and the school leaders were impressed by Wei Dongyi's enlightenment.
