Ma'am You Have Been Uncovered

Chapter 412: I Have a Project, ICNE Finals

In the laboratory.

After typing the last data, Qin Ran turned sideways and said with slightly drooping eyelashes, “Brother Ye.”

Taking the data from her, he glanced at her and couldn’t help but say, “Little Junior, I’ll find you another project again…”

Before she could reply to him, Scholar Liao looked up from his busy work and said in a cold voice, “Your project members have been finalized?”

Brother Ye pursed his lips and nodded, about to give the rhetoric speech he prepared.

Zuo Qiurong, who came in to get equipment, politely said, “Sorry, but our other two teammates don’t agree to have another newcomer.”

In order to appease Zuo Qiurong and get her to return, the other two teammates had specially called her in the afternoon to comfort her.

The two could afford to offend neither Zuo Qiurong nor Brother Ye, so it wasn’t particularly surprising.

Remaining silent, Brother Ye turned and silently adjusted the magnetic field with the data Qin Ran gave him.

“Your two teammates disagreed?” Scholar Liao glanced at Zuo Qiurong, then turned back to Qin Ran, paused for a moment, and continued, “Since those two teammates don’t want you to team up with them, there’s no need to force them. Pay attention to the projects initiated by the laboratory and the school during this period. I’ll ask other professors if…”

Although Scholar Liao never accepted a disciple, many doctoral students under his guidance had become professors.

As for Brother Ye’s team, Liao Gaoang concentrated on researching and couldn’t do anything to force them.

Hearing this, Zuo Qiurong only faintly smiled, remaining silent, and kept her hands by her sides.

While putting the book she borrowed from the library at noon into her backpack, Qin Ran shook her head upon hearing Liao Gaoang. “Thank you, Scholar Liao. But I already have a research project in my hands and have formed a team with my classmates.”

Hearing this, both Brother Ye and Scholar Liao were surprised.

Scholar Liao remained silent, while Brother Ye showed his joy. “That’s great.”

Zuo Qiurong leaned slightly on the table, staring at Qin Ran, pursing her lips in curiosity. “I didn’t expect Junior to have a project as well. As far as I know, there aren’t many projects at Beijing University now. Which project did you participate in?”

Zipping her backpack up, Qin Ran looked up at her and unhurriedly said, “ICNE Finals.”

Without waiting for her reaction, she politely greeted Liao Gaoang and Brother Ye, then directly left with her backpack.

ICNE, the highest project award for students still studying in the Physics palace.

Writing 10 SCI papers with an impact factor greater than 25 wasn’t as good as a medal from an ICNE Finals.

Freshmen in the Physics Department might not know what this competition was, but it was a research project that every graduate student desperately wanted to join.

Even Brother Ye was stunned for a long time before he finally let out a sigh, laughed, and felt immediately relieved. “No wonder when I told her in the afternoon that she couldn’t join, she remained calm. It turned out she has her own project already, the ICNE Finals. Little junior is pretty impressive… It doesn’t matter even if she doesn’t win an award. Fortunately, I didn’t invite her to our research project. Otherwise, I might hinder her instead.”

Just participating in this final was the dream project of the world’s top Physics graduate students.

Brother Ye wanted to ask if Qin Ran lacked an assistant or a part-time job.

Turning back to his workbench, Scholar Liao slightly nodded and uttered a rare word of praise, “It’s indeed impressive.”

Other than sneering, Zuo Qiurong couldn’t say a single word.

She originally thought Qin Ran was anxious for a review and desperately wanted to join their research project. Thus, she had tried her best to block her, but who knew she already had a project… and it was even the ICNE…

Since Qin Ran had said it herself, she didn’t think it was a lie…

In terms of popularity, although the project she signed up with Brother Ye was good in all aspects, compared to Qin Ran’s ICNE project, it was basically negligible.

She pursed her lips and felt strong jealousy gnawing at her heart…

She was speechless.

This wasn’t a comparison on the same level at all.

Qin Ran was unaware of Zuo Qiurong’s thoughts as she left the laboratory.

Towards the end of December, Beijing had seen its first snow.
