Trillionaire's Slice of Life-Chapter 341 - 243: Strange Tales from Magic City Normal University (Begging for Subscriptions)

Chapter 341: Chapter 243: Strange Tales from Magic City Normal University (Begging for Subscriptions)

Golden autumn October!

For Tang Tang, who was already a senior, her four years of study at Normal University in the magic city were about to end, and she would soon leave the ivory tower of the campus and officially step into the complex society.

At first, she was truly worried about her future. During high school, Tang Tang’s scores never fell below the top thirty for any test and according to her initial plan, her target should have been Fudan University in the magic city, or at the very least University of Science and Technology.

However, life is unpredictable. Two days before the college entrance exam, due to extreme nervousness and fatigue from studying, Tang Tang developed a high fever of 39 degrees. Naturally, even though she entered the examination room with a weary body, her poor state meant she couldn’t perform to her true level, and ultimately, Normal University became her destination!

In this very ordinary tier-three university, Tang Tang thought she would graduate unremarkably and then, like many seniors before her, fight hard for a dream job!

Yet fate is so unpredictable. Already in her senior year and having not held much hope for her future, Tang Tang, a month earlier, faced a turning point that could change her fate: an impressive alumnus, who had only graduated three years prior and had become a winner in life, reignited hope for all 45,000 students at Normal University.

The student with the highest annual composite score would receive a startup fund of one hundred million, and the second to the eleventh places would receive ten million each for start-up funds…

Tang Tang always had a strong foundation; she had a solid grounding in her high school days, and if not for her underperformance, she was potential first-tier university material. Over her four years in college, she didn’t neglect her studies either, so for every test, Tang Tang’s composite score remained steadily in the top three…

And that was the result without her putting in strenuous effort.

Two days ago, when the October mini-holiday ended and the school announced last month’s composite scores, Tang Tang seized the top spot with her first-place grade.

This was the result of her giving her one hundred percent!

The entry standards for Normal University were low, and apart from students like Tang Tang who, due to unexpected circumstances, ended up here, the rest truly had mediocre foundations. Even with the motivation of a hundred million start-up fund, and even though many students were striving to excel, they still couldn’t compare with top-notch students possessing profound knowledge like Tang Tang—there was just too great a gap.

In this composite scoring, Tang Tang’s scores were a whole thirty-eight points above the second place.

This is the gap between a first-tier and a third-tier university student!

It was an utterly insurmountable gap.

Unless something very unexpected happened, Tang Tang had almost secured that hundred million scholarship!

And as that senior Chu said, being the first recipient of the top scholarship, the one in first place would be given priority development and might very well become a billionaire eventually!

Tang Tang believed Mr. Chu’s words from the bottom of her heart.

So, for her future, she no longer had the initial anxieties but rather was filled with eager curiosity!

Just as Mr. Chu had said, Tang Tang was no longer confined to learning knowledge from textbooks. She began to engage in social practice, to look for topics that interested her, and was also cramming all the knowledge she could into her head.

For a student with the top composite score like Tang Tang, teachers at the school essentially stopped overseeing her learning; she had plenty of freedom.

So, while the underclassmen were engulfed in their studies within the classrooms, and the entire Normal University fell into a hush, Tang Tang, holding a few books, was able to roam around the campus without concern!

Now a senior, moments to wander the campus so freely without a second thought were becoming rarer and rarer, which made Tang Tang cherish the current time even more.

She had just returned some books to the library and was now walking alone in the fragrant campus. The gardens on both sides of the path were filled with vibrant bougainvilleas, and although they did not boast spring’s multitude of flowers, they had a charm of their own.

Upon seeing a cluster of pristine lilies in a flower bed, she suddenly stopped, then the corners of her bright red lips slightly curled up, and a tender smile flickered in her dazzling starry eyes!

She remembered in her sophomore year receiving a love letter from a senior. In the letter, that tall and lean senior had praised her, saying she shone brightly like a pure lily, and because Tang Tang really liked lilies, she remembered that particular confession letter vividly!

Seeing the lilies in the roadside flower bed, her lips couldn’t help but curve up, though her heart felt an unusual surge of emotion!

Tang Tang had been the little princess of her family since she was young. Starting in kindergarten, she had been the prettiest girl in class. In the fourth grade of primary school, she received her first love letter from a boy, and from then on, it was uncontrollable—by now, Tang Tang had no idea how many confessions she had received from boys.

When she first entered Normal University, she was dubbed the most beautiful “Campus Belle” in the history of the university and because she never got too close to any boys and didn’t have a boyfriend, she was also known as the “Ice and Snow Goddess.”

Tang Tang always treated these amusing stories with a casual smile, never taking them to heart!

Tang Tang’s gaze had been fixed on the pure lilies in front of her, pondering whether to try for the first time to violate her life’s principles and steal the most brilliantly blooming lily by the roadside for preservation, when out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a figure approaching from afar.

In a rush, she suppressed the impulse rising in her heart, her cheeks flushing slightly. Just as Tang Tang was about to leave, she noticed that the figure in the distance had suddenly stopped.

What made Tang Tang slightly surprised was that the figure was an old man in a wheelchair, his completely white sparse hair and wrinkled face showing his old age unmistakably.

The pale blue eyes and slightly prominent nose clearly revealed the old man’s identity as a foreign friend.

The moment she saw the old man, Tang Tang suddenly felt he looked familiar, as if she should have seen him somewhere.

The white-haired old man sitting in the wheelchair seemed to have appeared in some book or on television.

The greatest likelihood was that the old man was a foreign professor from Normal University.

Tang Tang reached this conclusion in an instant.

After all, although Normal University was quite ordinary, there were indeed a dozen foreign professors in the school, which was probably why she felt the old man looked familiar.

However, at the moment, the old professor was clearly encountering some trouble. There were two steps in front of the old man which for an ordinary person could easily be crossed with a stride or two.

But for the elderly man in the wheelchair, these two steps were enough to leave him completely helpless.

Since it was during class hours, and aside from Tang Tang who was idly strolling around campus, there was virtually no one else around. Consequently, almost naturally, the foreign professor had directed his plea for help towards her.

It wasn’t that she felt impatient or troubled, as she had nothing else to do anyway.

It was just a small gesture of assistance.

And so, it happened quite naturally, as if it was to be expected, Tang Tang quickly walked towards the old man.

She gently approached the elderly man, and the moment Tang Tang appeared, at least five or six stout figures in black suits swiftly concealed themselves back into the shadows!

Tang Tang, with her peerless beauty, revealed her sweetest smile and said softly, like the gentle song of an oriole:

“Professor, I’ll help you!”

The old man with the light blue eyes smiled appreciatively at Tang Tang and said something softly. Tang Tang listened attentively, but in the end, she realized she couldn’t understand a word he was saying!

It wasn’t English. Maybe French? Or some other language?

Despite the language barrier, this did not impede Tang Tang’s actions. She gently pushed the wheelchair from behind. Since it was an electric wheelchair, the old man could control the direction and provide the power himself; Tang Tang’s task was simply to ensure that the wheelchair didn’t tip over while mounting the steps.

After getting over the steps and completing the task, Tang Tang waved goodbye to the old man. Watching him slowly and leisurely stroll along the secluded path in his wheelchair, she suddenly noticed five or six tall Caucasian men in black suits brushing past her and then following far behind the elderly man!

One of the middle-aged men, wearing sunglasses and an earpiece, even nodded and smiled at her!

Suddenly, her expression changed slightly, as if hit by a realization, Tang Tang quickly took out her phone. She opened the search bar in her browser, typed in a name, and moments later, a photo and information about the old man appeared before her eyes!

“Germany’s leading scientist Harralsen, honored with the 2008 Nobel Prize in Medicine for his discovery of the human immunodeficiency virus!

Harralsen, seventy-eight years old, one of the most outstanding medical scientists in history, the discoverer of the deficiency virus, his method of discovering deficiency viruses has been used to this day. His pioneering work in photomicrography has left images that are still considered high quality, and techniques he developed, including isolation and pure culture techniques, culture media techniques, staining techniques…”

Tang Tang carefully looked at the photo on her phone, recalling the old man’s face she had just seen. In a moment, she confirmed that the kindly looking old man was indeed a Nobel Prize winner, a world-renowned top scientist!

Her breathing became increasingly rapid!

It seemed as if something within her was bursting forth, and with a deep breath, determination filled her eyes.

Taking strides, Tang Tang, with her stunning beauty, began to chase after the distant figure of the old man in the wheelchair!
