The counselor felt frustrated, wanting to compensate Xu Mumu but couldn’t.

Suddenly, the counselor thought of an opportunity: "Student Xu Mumu, there’s an exchange program opportunity at UY from the school. Would you like to consider it?"

"No need, teacher, you don’t have to think about compensating me. I don’t lack anything. I occasionally need to take leave, so just agreeing directly when the time comes is enough." Xu Mumu looked at the counselor, understanding his intentions to compensate her, but she didn’t lack anything and just wanted the freedom to come to class when she wished and not come if she didn’t want to, without having to specially seek permission for leave.

"The opportunity to be an exchange student is quite precious, aren’t you really considering it?" The counselor paused for two seconds; this news hadn’t been fully disclosed yet, but given the contributions made by Xu Mumu, securing a spot was feasible. Xu Mumu’s request was too simple, making him feel somewhat uneasy.

"Really, no need. Leave this opportunity for those who need it. I’ve already married, and I’m not planning to study abroad." Xu Mumu shook her head, not fancying going to an unfamiliar place for further study; she preferred researching things herself.

She didn’t even intend to join the National Academy of Sciences; she enjoyed researching whatever she wanted when she wanted, even though doing it herself could be troublesome at times. But how free is that?

Moreover, with Yin Yang there, she could get any materials she needed from him, and she simply didn’t think about studying abroad.

She’s married now, and Yin Yang is planning to relocate his industry back, his enterprise isn’t in UY anymore, so even if she wanted to go, Yin Yang probably wouldn’t be willing.

She’s married now, and isn’t alone anymore, she couldn’t possibly ignore Yin Yang’s considerations.

In the end, the counselor regretfully let Xu Mumu leave.

The counselor mentioned this in the classroom, and the students were really excited.

Xu Mumu watched the excited looks of her classmates, feeling quite moved. The enthusiasm of students for learning at this time was genuinely remarkable, unlike those in the universities of future generations, some of whom needed to be pushed before they would learn.

Once the matter was settled, Xu Mumu handed the key of the neighboring yard to the class monitor. If anyone wanted to conduct experiments, the class monitor could arrange it, as she didn’t want to manage these matters.

The review of the materials for Xu Mumu’s improved equipment was swift, and within a few days, someone came to find her.

"Hello, I’m the dean of the Chinese Academy of Sciences." An elderly man, similar to Professor Song, smiled at Xu Mumu. The old man wore a Zhongshan suit, wore glasses, and had an impressive bearing. From the first glance, Xu Mumu felt good about him.

"Hello." Xu Mumu nodded, having been called over here, she wasn’t scared at all, actually a bit curious.

"A young person just starting university who has already contributed so much to the country, truly commendable." The dean smiled at Xu Mumu, speaking with some admiration. The things this young woman improved were indeed very useful, and something he particularly noted was that the solar power technology was presented by this young lady, making an enormous contribution to the whole country.

"You overpraise me." Xu Mumu replied, modestly smiling, somewhat embarrassed, as she had merely borrowed advantages from latter-day conveniences.

"No, no, young comrade, would you be interested in joining the Chinese Academy of Sciences?" The dean smiled looking at Xu Mumu, the young lady’s graceful demeanor causing him to harbor quite a favorable impression.

"There’s no need, I have my own lab; I can do whatever I wish. I won’t occupy national resources, leave this opportunity for those who need it." Xu Mumu laughed whilst shaking her head, wondering why people constantly wanted either for her to be an exchange student or to join the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Xu Mumu took out the reasoning she used with the counselor; she truly didn’t need this opportunity.

The dean was left with no choice but to regretfully abandon the idea; he couldn’t force Xu Mumu, as this young lady clearly had her own plans.

Since Yin Yang specially created a laboratory for Xu Mumu, there were higher-ups keeping an eye on Yin Yang; yet they didn’t foresee it was Yin Yang. Many were aware of the Yin Family’s past, a family that was exceedingly powerful back in the day. The old master of the Yin Family hosted, contributing numerous donations during that wartime era.

Although later, due to policy, actions had to be taken against the Yin Family, the family transferred their business away. Many knew but just turned a blind eye.

Nowadays, only Yin Yang remains from the Yin Family, while the rest of the illegitimate children didn’t dare to associate with Yin Yang. Truthfully, the only person from the Yin Family able to call the shots was Yin Yang.

Here, the dean mentioned rewarding Xu Mumu. Frankly, they couldn’t provide much, especially money, which was what Xu Mumu desired most yet didn’t receive much; the Chinese Academy of Sciences wasn’t overly wealthy, but they did give a few certificates and medals.

"This may be an injustice for you." The dean said somewhat apologetically, even though he applied for more from above, what was given remained minimal.

"It’s okay, these things are already nice. I voluntarily donated these technologies initially; my hope was for our country to improve." Xu Mumu said earnestly. Initially, she considered profiting from the technology, but the nation was genuinely impoverished.

Now that money wasn’t an issue, she no longer sought to carve out funds the nation didn’t have.

Thus she spoke magnanimously; she truly wished for national improvement.

Xu Mumu brought things back home, carefully storing these certificates in a dedicated little box for various certificates and diplomas.

Looking at the small box filled with certificates and diplomas, a smile appeared on Xu Mumu’s face. Later on, once the children grew up, she’d open it to see how many she could accumulate.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences wished to commend Xu Mumu, intending to hold a ceremony, but she declined, preferring to maintain a low profile.

This time she received many rewards, and Su Yue’e and the others also received certificates, having written their names when submitting the materials.

They assisted during improvements, contributing substantial efforts and had corrected her mistakes, providing ample inspiration.

Called over by the counselor, Su Yue’e and the others were a bit bewildered at first, and upon seeing the certificate, felt incredibly complicated emotions. They had only aided a little, yet Xu Mumu went ahead and shared such great honor with them, leaving them speechless.

"The school intends to hold a school-wide assembly tomorrow afternoon to distribute your certificates, aiming to motivate other students as well." The counselor, feeling excited, hadn’t expected his students to be so outstanding.
