Qin Ran was speechless.
Zhou Shan also coughed.
Graduates who did science research did stay in the laboratory all day… And there were indeed many bald heads, but there were also two bald professors in the Mathematics Department…
It was really unconvincing.
Zhou Shan and the Dean of the Mathematics Department could tell that Qin Ran was determined to learn automation.
They eventually returned without success.
When Cheng Juan saw that the three of them had finished talking, he looked up and asked with good etiquette, “Would you two like to stay for dinner?”
The Dean of the Mathematics Department just had his plans thwarted and had no intention of staying for dinner.
He waved weakly to Cheng Juan. “No, I’ll go back to school.”
When he reached the door, he turned to look back at Qin Ran. She…
She was eating with her chopsticks very seriously, with her head lowered.
The Dean was speechless. He felt a little heartbroken.
After Zhou Shan and the Dean left, Cheng Juan closed the door and then turned to look at Cheng Wenru and Secretary Li. Both of them were standing rooted to the spot. He asked them very politely, “Are you two not eating?”
Cheng Wenru was speechless.
Secretary Li was speechless.
They exchanged glances, then sat at the dining table without saying a word.
The chef was also very discerning. When he saw Cheng Wenru and Secretary Li, he also prepared dinner for them.
Qin Ran finished her meal first and bid them farewell before heading upstairs to practice the violin.
Once she was upstairs, Cheng Wenru glanced at Cheng Juan and squinted. “What’s the matter with Princ.i.p.al Zhou and the others?”
She thought that since Qin Ran’s violin was so impressive, she must be studying Arts…
“Oh.” Cheng Juan slowly picked up a piece of vegetable with his chopsticks and replied indifferently, “She scored full marks in her mathematics paper. The two universities are fighting for her.”
Cheng Wenru remained silent and stopped talking.
Sitting on the side, Secretary Li was speechless.
Listen to him, were they human words?

A week later, at the Violin a.s.sociation.
In the examination office on the second floor.
The two teachers glanced at Qin Yu and looked down at the information. “Qin Yu, are you sure you want to take the sixth-grade exam today?”
“Yes,” Qin Yu pursed her lips and replied directly.
The two teachers exchanged surprised glances. “Ok, you can start.”
They originally estimated that she wouldn’t take the exam until the end of August during the exhibition compet.i.tion. After all, she would be more stable at that time. But they didn’t expect her to take the exam so soon.
Ten minutes later, she came out of the examination room.
Outside, Tian Yiyun looked at her nervously. “Senior, did you pa.s.s?”
Glancing at her, Qin Yu smiled faintly and said casually, “I pa.s.sed.”
“So fast?!” Immediately excited, Tian Yiyun looked down at her phone and showed off in her group chat.
Qin Yu allowed her to spread the news. She walked over to the computer and opened the webpage. The ranking on the webpage had changed.
Senior student, Qin Yu (Fifth grade) had become — Senior student, Qin Yu (Sixth grade).
And below was still Senior Student, Qin Ran (Fifth grade).
Sitting in front of the computer and staring at it for a long while, Qin Yu finally heaved a sigh of relief.

On the second floor.
Inside the practice room.
Over the past two weeks, w.a.n.g Zifeng had mixed in various groups without a sound.
The news of Qin Yu pa.s.sing the sixth grade was hyped without restraint and seemed to give Tian Yiyun a strong tranquilizer.
w.a.n.g Zifeng naturally saw it and stood up abruptly, surprised. “Qin Yu reached the sixth grade?”
Tian Xiaoxiao put down her violin. “So fast?”
“She’s indeed very fast.” w.a.n.g Zifeng nodded, then thought about it again. “I’m now in the fourth grade. With persistent hard work, I’ll only reach the fifth grade at the end of the year. As for the sixth grade… I hope it’ll be at the end of next year.”
Tian Xiaoxiao had come to the Violin a.s.sociation mainly for “gilding,” but because of Qin Ran and Master Wei, she also had the desire to learn the violin well.
As for other matters, such as Qin Yu’s grade, she wasn’t much interested, so she simply looked away after muttering “Oh.”
Qin Ran didn’t care what they were talking about.
She just sat by the window, frowning and tuning the violin.
At this time, the door of the training room beeped, and the door opened.
Tian Xiaoxiao and w.a.n.g Zifeng stood up in a hurry. They looked in the direction of Master Wei and immediately became serious. “Master Wei.”
“Yes.” Master Wei nodded slightly at them, smiling calmly as always. “How’s your practice these past two days?”
“Very good.” Tian Xiaoxiao and w.a.n.g Zifeng nodded frantically.
The others couldn’t even s.n.a.t.c.h a lesson from Master Wei, but they could sit and listen to several sessions for free every week. Tian Xiaoxiao and w.a.n.g Zifeng would come here to train on time every day.
Tian Xiaoxiao had temporarily put aside her artist form and structure cla.s.s in the company.
Her manager had talked to her about this matter, but Tian Xiaoxiao never gave notice. In the end, Sister Wen didn’t say anything and just let her spread her wings freely in the Violin a.s.sociation.
Anyway, it was just during the summer vacation.
Once school started, she would have to return to the acting department.
Putting down her violin, Qin Ran also stood up. “It’s okay.”
Master Wei retracted his gaze and laughed. He continued to give a lesson to the three people. When the lesson was over, he put away the books.
He stayed on the chair and didn’t leave.
All three of them knew he had something to say, so they sat on the stool and stared at him.
He tapped his fingers on the table and pondered for a while before asking, “You didn’t go to the open cla.s.s this morning, right?”
“No.” w.a.n.g Zifeng raised his hand. “We knew that you would come in the afternoon, so we didn’t go.”
“Ok.” Master Wei continued nodding. “Then I’ll tell you about the exhibition compet.i.tion next month. It’ll involve the advanced students, and only one will be selected.
“I hope all three of you can partic.i.p.ate.”
w.a.n.g Zifeng hugged his violin. He was a fan of Master Wei and nodded frantically. “Okay, Master Wei!”
Tian Xiaoxiao smiled lazily. “I have to make up the number, anyway.”
Master Wei turned to look at Qin Ran last.
She placed her hand behind her head. “Oh.”
Master Wei was speechless.
After talking to them, he left a new training plan and came out.
Wen Yin came downstairs and paused when he saw Master Wei. “Master Wei, how was it?”
Master Wei said calmly, “All three have agreed.”
“That’s good.” Wen Yin nodded and smiled. “Teacher Dai and his party were very proud this morning.”
Because Qin Yu had exceeded everyone’s expectations and had pa.s.sed the sixth grade ahead of time.
Master Wei put his hands behind his back and smiled. “Let them be proud of a while.”
Did they really think he was a Buddhist?
After several years of not accepting apprentices, those people had almost forgotten that he would not lose out to anyone on his apprentice’s skills.
“Then, w.a.n.g Zifeng and Tian Xiaoxiao…” Wen Yin thought of those two people.
Pressing the elevator b.u.t.ton, Master Wei spoke with a light tone, “They’re a little weaker, but they can be my ordinary disciples.”
In the past few days, Master Wei had taken the time to give lectures to Qin Ran and the others. He had found that their relations.h.i.+p with Qin Ran was rather good, and they would occasionally communicate.
Similar to Wen Yin, w.a.n.g Zifeng was a violin fanatic.
His day was spent either learning the violin or on the way to learn the violin.
He was more diligent than Qin Yu. Qin Yu worked hard mainly for fame and fortune, but w.a.n.g Zifeng simply loved the violin.
Thus, the final effects of their learning were different.
Master Wei was very satisfied with the random allocation’s effect. It had given Qin Ran an example of a hard worker.
As for Tian Xiaoxiao… She was a little like Qin Ran. Her att.i.tude towards the violin was also indifferent, and she was satisfied just to get through.
But to be able to reach the third grade in this way, Master Wei also thought that her talent was exceptional.
He wondered, what kind of chemical reaction would occur when these three people trained together?
The elevator door opened, and Master Wei walked in, thinking lightly.
He was looking forward to the surprises those three would give him next month.
**
More than a month later.
At the Violin a.s.sociation.
Dai Ran stood in high spirits at the gate.
A black car stopped at the gate, and a few foreigners got down.
“Mr. Engel.” Dai Ran took two steps forward and greeted him. “I’m Dai Ran. I’m responsible for picking you up this time.”
It was Mr. Engel, who had attended Qin Ran’s apprentices.h.i.+p banquet before. He was here as the Chief Magistrate of Continent M a.s.sociation’s recruitment of members.
“Teacher Dai.” Mr. Engel greeted him and followed him inside. He asked, “How many students did you recommend this time?”
“Twenty.”
These trainees were all younger than 25 years old and were in the fourth-grade or above.
The teachers had already submitted their list of students.
“Twenty?” Mr. Engel raised an eyebrow. “You have a lot of recommended students this year.”
It used to be around fifteen people.
Dai Ran smiled and said nothing.
Of course. Master Wei had even pushed up students from the third-grade, so how could there not be many students?
The two soon arrived at the Violin a.s.sociation.
