Seeing that she couldn't persuade Shi Yaoguang, Professor Lin could only concede and ask for the next best thing.
"If you don't agree to join us, then... when we encounter problems, may we consult with you?"
Shi Yaoguang waved her hands modestly and said, "It's not really consulting. If Professor Lin has any questions, I am always happy to discuss them with you."
With a definitive response, Professor Lin finally felt relieved.
It was then that he remembered to exchange pleasantries with Shi Yaoguang, but she had received a phone call and hurriedly left.
Professor Lin picked up a cup of tea and blew on it.
He sighed.
Ah...
Such a promising talent.
No, such an impressive figure, why isn't she keen on this path?
...
Shi Yaoguang had no idea how Professor Lin was lamenting over her.
The phone call she received was from Cheng Lingdang.
The Cheng Family's main house was in the Imperial Capital, and Cheng Lingdang had recently returned here as well.
