Academic research is endless.
It's like a massive black hole; once you dive in, you'll be greeted by endless darkness!
Clearly, Daoist Yang Chen had led Daoist Feng into a pit. The research on the five elements of spiritual energy gave him a sense of purpose for his continued existence. The thrill and sense of achievement from exploring the unknown fascinated him.
As a result, Yang Chen helped him set several more research directions and provided some reference materials. The two of them engaged in a heated debate in the living room for nearly three hours, and Daoist Feng was completely hooked.
"An Analysis of the Essence of the Five Elements of Spiritual Energy," "On the Quantitative Standards of Energy Particles," and "A Discussion on the Similarities Between the Trajectories of Daoist Techniques and the Structure of Energy Particles"—three entire articles were left on the coffee table in front of Yang Chen after Daoist Feng left.
Yang Chen, who was in high spirits, decided not to sleep. He went to his room, brought out his laptop, and began transcribing and refining the three academic articles written by Daoist Feng.
After Yang Chen's processing, the word count of the articles increased from the original nine thousand to over twenty thousand. Out of respect for the original work, Yang Chen did not correct some minor flaws in Daoist Feng's writing but instead focused on supplementing issues that Daoist Feng had not considered.
By around eight o'clock the next morning, after a night of hard work, Yang Chen nodded in satisfaction at the three academic papers on the computer screen and went upstairs to rest.
He had planned to rest well and have a good chat with his parents that evening.
But just as his head touched the pillow, the phone on the bedside table rang...
"Hello." Suppressing the urge to throw the phone, Yang Chen answered.
On the other end, Tang Yino spoke hesitantly and softly, "Yang Chen... can you take me to school?"
Jin Meifeng's efficiency was surprisingly high. After confirming Yang Chen's attitude, she made a few calls and arranged for Tang Yino to transfer to Chenghua High School for her senior year. Tang Yino received the school's admission notice yesterday evening.
But after being away from school for many years and being from out of town, Tang Yino felt a bit nervous when she woke up this morning.
The word "school" seemed like a distant memory to her, but she never thought that after many years in society, she would have the opportunity to return to school and take the college entrance exam next year!
If the opportunity to study at Chenghua High School had been obtained through fair means, Tang Yino could have confidently packed her bag and returned to school to sit in the classroom and listen to the lessons.
However, this opportunity was not obtained through fair means, which made Tang Yino feel a bit insecure.
After much deliberation, she didn't dare to take that step and finally called Yang Chen, hoping he could come to give her some courage...
Hearing Tang Yino's voice clearly from the other end of the phone, Yang Chen could only shake his head with a bitter smile. Well, he would sleep tonight...
"Where are you? I'll come to pick you up now."
"Still in the old neighborhood... I haven't moved," Tang Yino said dryly. "If you're busy, it's okay; I can go by myself..."
"Pack your things, I'll be there in twenty minutes." Yang Chen interrupted her, getting out of the bed that he hadn't even warmed up yet. "Remember to bring all the necessary documents, don't forget them and have to go back for them, it will be troublesome."
"Okay, okay, okay... I got it." A sweet feeling lingered in her heart, and Tang Yino happily agreed, adding, "Be careful when you drive..."
Although he felt that Tang Yino seemed a bit off, Yang Chen still hung up the phone after agreeing.
Chenghua High School is the most famous high school in Jinzhou City and a first-class key high school in Nanhu Province, covering an area of over 170 acres. It has over 60 senior and distinguished teachers, and both its faculty and academic atmosphere are top-notch.
As a major taxpayer in Jinzhou City, Hengyang Group was allocated a few scarce admission slots. These slots, which are often obtained through political and business transactions, usually allow direct admission without an exam, but the necessary procedures still need to be followed.
By the time Yang Chen finished washing up, changed clothes, and drove to the entrance of the neighborhood where Tang Yino was renting, she had already changed into a simple white sports shirt and tied her hair into a ponytail, exuding a youthful vibe.
However, when Tang Yino opened the passenger door and got in, a passing old lady muttered, "Rich people are really outrageous, they don't even spare high school students..."
The old lady's voice was just loud enough for the two people in the car to hear faintly.
Tang Yino's face turned red, and her ears were so flushed they almost seemed to be bleeding...
Yang Chen pretended not to hear and asked, "Did you bring everything?"
"Yes... I brought everything," Tang Yino replied softly.
"Let's go then." He released the brake and pressed the gas, and the black X6 shot forward.
Chenghua High School is located on the southeast side of Xibu District in Jinzhou City, next to a small mountain. Just two minutes to the north is the largest and most well-equipped Cangshan Park in Xibu District, and the straight road runs along the artificial lake of Cangshan Park all the way to the school gate.
As a former student of Chenghua High School, Yang Chen was familiar with the way and drove Tang Yino to the school's main gate. He lowered the window and called to the security guard in the guardhouse, "Sir, could you open the gate, please?"
Chenghua High School, as the most famous boarding high school in Jinzhou City, has many students from prestigious families, and the school gate is often congested on Friday afternoons.
But a car worth over two million is a rare luxury.
A middle-aged security guard in his forties came out of the guardhouse, glanced at Yang Chen in the driver's seat, and then at Tang Yino, who was slightly blushing in the passenger seat, and frowned.
He instinctively thought it was a rich kid who had spent the night with a female student from the school.
But this was not his business, so he asked in a rather stern tone, "What are you here for?"
Yang Chen smiled and offered him a soft Zhonghua cigarette. The guard didn't hesitate to take it, and his tone softened, "Classes have already started, so vehicles are not allowed to enter according to the rules."
"My sister just returned from out of province and is here to register for school today," Yang Chen explained. "We prepared a lot of things this morning and accidentally forgot the time..."
"Oh?" Upon hearing that Tang Yino was Yang Chen's sister, the guard's face finally showed a hint of a smile. He asked, "Do you have the admission notice? Show it to me for registration, and I'll let you in."
"Yes." Yang Chen nodded with a smile, turned around, and took the paper with the school's official seal from Tang Yino, handing it to the guard. "Thank you for your trouble."
The guard looked at the somewhat irregular admission notice and knew what was going on... This thing should be called a backdoor pass, not an admission notice. Of course, no matter what it was called, he had to accept it.
After registering the pass in the guardhouse, the electric gate opened just enough for a car to pass through.
Yang Chen drove into the school, rolled up the window, and said to Tang Yino, "Although you are admitted through special approval, you still need to take a test to assess your academic level... Try your best, but don't worry if you don't do well... Don't put any pressure on yourself, okay?"
"Okay, I understand." Tang Yino agreed, but her tense and stiff body couldn't escape Yang Chen's notice.
Chenghua High School is quite large, and the T-shaped teaching building, built in the early 21st century with a special fund of 120 million yuan, can be seen from a distance.
However, behind the teaching building is another building, which was the old teaching building before the expansion. It is now used as the administrative office and school warehouse, and some teachers also live there.
Yang Chen, familiar with every corner of the school, drove the car to the entrance of the administrative building.
New students need to go to the academic affairs office to complete the registration procedures, and the head of the academic affairs office, Mr. Wang, had received benefits from Hengyang Group.
Mr. Wang, in his fifties, with a large belly, was wearing a brand new leather jacket.
When Yang Chen led Tang Yino into the office, Mr. Wang was playing poker on his computer.
Seeing the two young people barge in without knocking, Mr. Wang frowned.
But before he could speak, Yang Chen had already smiled and offered him a cigarette, saying, "Are you Mr. Wang? Hello, hello, I'm Yang Chen from Hengyang Group, and I'm here to take her to school today."
After Yang Chen introduced himself, Mr. Wang's tense expression quickly softened, and he put on a smile, "Hello... I already know about this. She is here to transfer to our school, right?"
His gaze fell on Tang Yino's face behind Yang Chen, and while his smile remained, he inwardly snorted.
Seeing Yang Chen nod in confirmation, Mr. Wang said to Tang Yino, "Put your things on my desk. I'll take you to take a test to assess your academic level... This will help us when we assign you to a class."
Tang Yino nodded quickly, "Okay... Thank you, Mr. Wang."
"Don't be so formal with me," Mr. Wang chuckled, hinting, "Hengyang Group is a star enterprise in Jinzhou City... Put your things down and follow me."
The registration process was surprisingly simple. As Yang Chen was taking Tang Yino to another office for the test, he reminded her again, "Do your best, don't put any pressure on yourself... The test scores are not that important."
Tang Yino nodded again, but her hands were already sweating...
Before entering the room for the test, Tang Yino looked at Yang Chen with a pitiful expression, as if she were about to face a firing squad...
After the door closed, Mr. Wang lit the cigarette Yang Chen had given him, leaned on the railing, and turned to ask, "Is she your girlfriend?"
Yang Chen was taken aback, then shook his head firmly, "No!"
But Mr. Wang smiled meaningfully, "She's quite pretty." (To be continued...)
