Qiao Huaiyao’s guitar video from military training is still on the school forum, and people repost it repeatedly every day.
Qiao Huaiyao: [No need. Let the club handle it.]
The guitar has already been taken back.
Qiu Shufeng just mentioned this during the meeting and mentioned it to Qiao Huaiyao casually.
After reading the message, he said, [Okay.]
Qiu Shufeng: [There’s also good news. The 1000 meters race, which is held every year, can be completed on the first day of the sports meet. This time, the sports meet is scheduled for Thursday and Friday, so you won’t need to come to the playground on Friday. You’ll have the day off, and with Saturday and Sunday, it’s like a three-day mini-vacation.]
[The sequence of competition events hasn’t been announced yet, but I found the sequence from previous years. It shouldn’t be much different. Study God, if you’re in a hurry, you can refer to this for now. I’ll send you the specific sequence once it’s available.]
Qiao Huaiyao: [Okay.]
…
Qiao Huaiyao put down his phone and slowly finished the remaining half of the bun.
Today, except for no early classes, the rest of the time was full of classes.
After finishing breakfast, Qiao Huaiyao stood up and said, “Brother, I’m heading out.”
Bai Jinyan handed him an umbrella. “It’s snowing outside. Take an umbrella with you.”
“Okay.”
As Bai Jinyan handed over the umbrella, he leaned forward to kiss him on the cheek. “Be careful on the way, don’t rush.”
Qiao Huaiyao nodded. “I know, brother.”
Bai Jinyan ruffled his hair. “Off you go.”
The morning classes were not specialized courses and were all quite simple.
Perhaps because of the snow, when Qiao Huaiyao arrived, there weren’t many people in the classroom.
Yesterday’s lab session, the teacher would cover the content of the experiment.
Although yesterday could be considered as hands-on teaching, some content from textbooks still needed to be reviewed to reinforce understanding.
When the teacher came in and saw that there weren’t many people in the classroom, he didn’t rush to start the class but turned on the computer for projection.
Even if the students who hadn’t arrived yet came in when it was time for class, they would still be considered late.
The teacher said, “Class monitor, keep track of who hasn’t come. Write down their names and send them to me. It will count as an absence directly.”
Qiu Shufeng sat in the front row and said, “Okay, teacher.”
The teacher frowned, “I know the weather isn’t good today, but there’s a school bus every ten minutes, and it’s not crowded. You could have come comfortably on the school bus. It’s not easier for you than for me to run back and forth. Those who didn’t come will have points deducted.”
“Ahem.” The teacher cleared his throat and tapped the blackboard with a small stick. “Let’s not talk about this anymore.”
“Before class, let me tell you all about Qiao Huaiyao.”
“During yesterday’s lab session, Qiao Huaiyao successfully increased the crystals precipitated in the experiment by three to four times by adjusting the proportions.”
The teacher was very excited when talking about this, although it wasn’t something she taught herself, Qiao Huaiyao was her student, and he did it in her class, so she felt connected to it.
The teacher smiled and said, “Qiao Huaiyao provided the proportion data to the school. After consultation with all the teachers and the headmaster, the headmaster agreed to change the proportions of all experiments taught in class and pay Qiao Huaiyao twice the price of the previous data proportions.”
“Extra awards, as well as scholarship qualifications.”
The teacher led the applause and said, “Everyone should learn more from Qiao Huaiyao.”
Qiu Shufeng was quick to chime in, “Study God is awesome!”
“Study God is so cool!” Wang Zhan followed closely.
Although the teacher didn’t mention the amount of money, naturally, this kind of data wouldn’t be too little, and now it’s being doubled.
The school didn’t hold back on rewarding Qiao Huaiyao for this.
If Qiao Huaiyao were to sell this data, he could still make a lot of money.
But without any negotiation, he directly handed over the complete data. It was rare for the principal to see such a thing, so he immediately gave the best treatment.
This data could all be written into Qiao Huaiyao’s file.
Qiao Huaiyao still had the same indifferent expression. The matter of the school giving money didn’t stir much emotion in him.
In his view, matters related to money were trivial, insignificant.
He handwritten the experimental data that same night.
The handling from the teacher’s side was also quick, announced directly in the first class today.
Qiao Huaiyao thought, perhaps it was handled overnight.
Qing University never skimped on rewarding students, let alone Qiao Huaiyao’s data, which could save the school a lot of money every year.
Seeing this, Qiu Shufeng paused and couldn’t help but whisper, “Study God, why are you so calm? With so much money, can’t you be happy for a moment?”
Wang Zhan was wealthy, but earning so much money with his own hands was something he had never experienced.
“Study God, you should be surprised at least, marvel at how much money it is.”
“A lot of money?” Qiao Huaiyao didn’t have much of a concept of money. He searched on his phone, and the relevant data was always kept on the official website of Qing University.
He found the price and multiplied it by two himself.
Seeing all those zeros, Qiao Huaiyao said indifferently, “It’s fine.”
Qiu Shufeng couldn’t help but sigh at the gap between him and a god, “Study God, do you have some special money-making job? Like being Bai Jinyan’s assistant, or starting your own company?”
Wang Zhan raised his hand under the table, “I prefer to sell experimental data at higher prices!”
Yu Luofan added, “The Study God treats money as worthless debris, already possessing the basic temperament of a mature chemist.”
Qiu Shufeng shrugged, “Ah, experiments can burn money. A slight mistake could result in a loss of several thousand.”
Wang Zhan pondered for a moment and said, “Study God must have applied for a lot of experiments in the lab. If you don’t have enough money, Study God, you can come to me!”
Wang Zhan smirked, “I’ll definitely support Study God regardless of the cost.”
Qiu Shufeng glared at him, “You, you get lost—I’ll do whatever it takes.”
Wang Zhan immediately got into it with him, “I’ll call my uncle as soon as I get home. I’ll invest in any project of Study God!”
Seeing them arguing over investment, Qiao Huaiyao couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, “We don’t even have a lab yet, no need to consider so much.”
“Wang Zhan, are you embarrassed? We’re so close, and I don’t know your skill level? Don’t worry, I’ll definitely help you. Leave the investment to me, I’ll message my dad.”
Qiao Huaiyao thought for a moment, afraid that he would actually contact his family elders, he sighed lightly and said, “My surname is Qiao.”
Qiu Shufeng, still arguing with Wang Zhan, only holding onto one ear while paying attention to Qiao Huaiyao’s side, nodded upon hearing this, “Yeah, your surname is Qiao, I know.”
The whole school should know that the Study God’s surname is Qiao.
Qiao Huaiyao smiled lightly and said, “Qiao from Jiayao Group.”
“Ah, Jiayao…” Qiu Shufeng subconsciously repeated, then realizing something was wrong, “Jiayao International is…”
Yu Luofan added, “A subsidiary of Jiayao Group.”
Qiu Shufeng: “???”
Vaguely sensing something amiss, Qiu Shufeng narrowed his eyes. “That, that—Jiayao Pharmaceuticals, Jiayao Entertainment… those?”
Yu Luofan pushed his glasses up. “They’re all subsidiaries of Jiayao Group.”
Qiu Shufeng: “…”
Wang Zhan: “??!!”
A wealthy person right beside me??
Wang Zhan remembered his grandiose words earlier and suddenly felt the urge to hyperventilate. “My ambitions were too small.”
Why the hell is that?
It’s as if all the advantages are stacked up on Qiao Huaiyao, as if heaven is afraid he might suffer.
It’s not just that heaven is providing, it’s practically begging him to take a bite.
The key is that Qiao Huaiyao himself is still working so hard, my goodness.
With Jiayao Group around, Qiao Huaiyao could completely meet all the needs of his laboratory without having to apply to the school.
The school application process is slow after a round, after all, it involves losses. If the school approves it and the experiment fails afterward, the school will have to compensate the students with money for the experiments.
Once or twice is fine, but if it happens frequently, no school can withstand such a loss.
So the laboratory isn’t as glamorous as it seems on the surface.
Qiu Shufeng muttered, “I always feel like when Nuwa1 molded me, she forgot to give me a background.”
Wang Zhan, rare unity with Qiu Shufeng, “Who said she didn’t?”
“When Nuwa created me, mud and water. When she created the Study God, she made sure he was diligent, knowledgeable, handsome, rich, and had a good-looking partner with money… *amn!” Wang Zhan patted his chest, feeling like he needed oxygen.
Yu Luofan remained calm. “Aren’t you guys going to guess?”
Just from the information revealed in the variety show, it’s obvious that Bai Jinyan and Qiao Huaiyao are childhood friends, even neighbors, playing together since they were very young.
Could there be a thatched cottage next to the villa?
It must be another villa.
People who lived in villas over a decade ago couldn’t have fallen on hard times, otherwise where would they go?
Although Yu Luofan hadn’t seriously looked into Qiao Huaiyao’s background, just using a little bit of brainpower would tell you that Qiao Huaiyao definitely isn’t an ordinary person.
Qiu Shufeng promptly came up and asked, “Study God, do you need a nanny at home? A Qing University graduate who can speak ten languages and can assist you in experiments?”
Wang Zhan chimed in, “Study God, don’t mind him. When you have time, come home and take a video of the nanny’s room for me to see where I’ll be living in the future.”
Listening to their increasingly exaggerated words, Qiao Huaiyao couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless. “Pay attention in class. I won’t repeat the knowledge points you’ve missed.”
Qiu Shufeng quickly straightened up, staring obediently at the front podium. “Okay okay, paying attention.”
Qiao Huaiyao was too low-key and had never appeared as the heir apparent of Jiayao Group.
The media was actually paying attention.
But unfortunately, those two adults hardly ever returned home, so the media couldn’t catch a glimpse.
Qiu Shufeng and the others wouldn’t spread it even if they knew, and it’s also good to avoid them talking to their family elders about investing in their classmates—
As October approached its end, the weather got worse and worse.
The weather forecast had predicted snow.
But after several gloomy days, there was no sign of snow.
Instead, it snowed the day before the sports meet.
The school leaders even held a special meeting about the weather.
