"I remember it was over four hundred once," Xu En recalled the first parent-teacher conference Ji Heng had with Bai Lian, "Jiangjing University... might be tough. When you go back, see if the affiliated high school accepts repeat students next year."
Bai Lian's current scores were indeed not enough to get into Jiangjing University. The two of them were discussing where to repeat the year next year.
When Yu Guang saw Ji Mulan coming back, Xu En shifted the topic and didn't mention Bai Lian's situation in front of her anymore, "How is your exam preparation going? Whose research do you plan to pursue?"
He figured that Ji Mulan must disapprove of the idea of Bai Lian trying to get into Jiangjing University.
Xu Wenyao was in his junior year and didn't yet qualify for direct recommendation for postgraduate studies. He had only participated in two projects in the physics department and was preparing to take the postgraduate entrance exam next year, "It's about getting in first."
