Chapter 29: The broke down looks on the two of them looked almost identical. (2)

At the university.

The arrival of Gu Shao stirred up those on the office building floor.

A few younger female professors couldn't help but started gossiping stealthily after they saw the lunchbox that Gu Shao brought with him.

“Did Professor Gu bring lunch with him?”

“I think so. I have one that looks just like it.”

“That’s incredible.” Gu Shao didn’t come to the university very often and it was definitely the first time he came with a lunchbox.

“Did he get married?”

“Was he single before?”

“I think so.”

Gu Shao walked inside the office and his assistant brought over documents on the dissertation defense that was going to take place shortly.

“Professor, these are the topics on the dissertations and their supporting documents,” said his assistant as he handed a few stacks of documents to Gu Shao. Looking at the blue lunchbox on his desk, the assistant asked, “Would you like me to heat this up for you, Professor?”

“No, that won’t be necessary.” He did not plan on eating it.

“Okay, I will let you be.” The assistant was about to leave.

After taking two steps, however, they were stopped by Gu Shao.

“Professor?”

“Yes, heat it up.”

***

After breakfast, Gu Shao went over to the classroom for the dissertation defense along with the documents.

Gu Shao was one of the judges today for the dissertation defense of a group of phD students.

There were 8 groups in total and each group would go on stage to present their research topics, demonstrate their results, and defend their dissertations.

Unlike the comments from the other professors, Gu Shao was not “gentle and loving” like the others. His comments were concise and cut straight to the point. He had no intention of sparing the students’ feelings.

As it turned out, his comments were straight to the point and nobody would argue with him. When they thought it through, there was a lot to be learned from his comments.

All the way until the last group for the morning.

The female student stood on stage nervously for the defense portion. She looked like she was about to cry.

“The biggest problem with your research topic isn’t that the design is not mature but that it lacks a clear and concise positioning for its application…” said Gu Shao bluntly.

Seeing that the girl was about to cry, Gu Shao was taken aback all of a sudden and reflexively recalled a girl standing in front of him, her fingers twisted together, looking as though she had been wronged.

For once, Gu Shao’s tone mellowed a little and he switched to saying, “The design itself isn’t bad. You should spend more time on thinking through its outlook and market positioning. I hope to see a more comprehensive defense next time.”

A pleasantly surprised look flashed past the girl when she heard Gu Shao’s words. She nodded quickly.

She was still very surprised when she walked off the stage. Professor Gu was known to be very harsh. But she felt that he was alright?

The students who were not comforted by him expressed that: It’s not fair!

The defense for the day was over. When Gu Shao got ready to leave, he was stopped by the other professors.

“Professor Gu, Professor Liu is taking us out to dinner tonight. Care to join us if you don’t have somewhere to be?” said one of the professors – Professor Gu was normally a very busy person. It wasn’t everyday when they had an opportunity like this. He would love to be able to chat with him about the RSK chip developed by his Center.

Gu Shao didn’t have any plans but, remembering that he now has a child at home, Gu Shao finally declined the other professor’s invitation.

***

That night, when Gu Shao returned home, he immediately smelled the delicious aroma of dinner when he opened up the door.

Seeing Gu Shao’s return, Lin Xi’s eyes lit up and she quickly took Gu Shao’s things in his hands from him in a fawning manner and showed him to the dining room.

Dinner was already ready on the table by now along with two pairs of chopsticks.

Looking at the few dishes that didn’t look half bad, Gu Shao raised his brows.

“You made these?”

“Yes, yes, I did.” Lin Xi nodded.

She placed the order for the ingredients on her cellphone and had them delivered. As for the dishes, she had never made them before but they didn’t seem too difficult. Lin Xi was able to find the recipes online and made them by following the steps in the recipes.

“Thank you for taking me in, Dad,” said Lin Xi to Gu Shao solemnly. Now that she was living under his roof and eating his food, she must be on her best behavior. She didn’t want him regret and abandon her.

“Let’s eat, Dad.” She had asked Xu Fei ahead of time. Xu Fei told her that Gu Shao didn’t usually have dinner when he went to the university.

Lin Xi handed the bowl and chopsticks over to Gu Shao.

Noticing the white spots on her hands from the toothpaste, Lin Xi quickly placed the bowl and chopsticks in front of Gu Shao and retracted her hands.

“What happened to your hands?” asked Gu Shao.
