For so many years, the Departnt of Chinese dicine hasn’t received any promising students!
In the past, when it was hard enough to recruit two students, they would apply to transfer to another departnt after just one sester. Choosing Chinese dicine was simply a last resort.
The students were disinterested in studying Chinese dicine, and these teachers, despite their eagerness, had nowhere to apply their efforts.
But this ti was different—they had received the top scorer of the examination, the only student from Tsinghua University who achieved a perfect score on the joint exam!
With so many departnts vying for this excellent prospect, the fact that this exceptional student ended up in their departnt was sothing to be excited about, wasn’t it?
Moreover, today wasn’t just about gaining a student worth cultivating; his own teacher had co out of retirent to take a seat again in the Departnt of Chinese dicine and ntor students!
Adelle Wafford listened to his excited words with a sneer on her face, but upon looking at Nathalie Quinlan and Mr. Avalon, she took a deep breath and gradually cald down.
It didn’t matter if Mr. Avalon had returned. The decline of Chinese dicine was a reality; even when he was here before, the Chinese dicine Departnt hadn’t caused much of a stir. It would be the sa this ti around. Could a single student really save the entire departnt? Hah, unless that student was truly a once-in-a-century genius—otherwise, the departnt would remain the sa old Chinese dicine Departnt, unable to stand tall!
Having realized this, putting on a face of politeness beca easier for her. She smiled at the old man in the classroom and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Avalon on acquiring another ’good’ student."
The emphasis she placed on the words "good student" was clear, and her gaze toward Nathalie Quinlan flickered with scorn and disgust.
Derliand Gober followed her lead, abandoning his previous arrogance and said to Nathalie Quinlan, "Mr. Avalon hasn’t personally ntored a student in many years. You’re lucky to have caught his eye. You must study hard and not waste this opportunity."
He completely avoided ntioning his earlier claims about the futility of Chinese dicine, not to ntion connections and resources.
His deanor seed genuinely pleased for Nathalie Quinlan, but as for what he truly thought, only he knew.
Nathalie Quinlan didn’t care what these people thought, or rather, from the beginning to end, she had never paid much attention to Adelle Wafford and Derliand Gober, so she didn’t take their prattling to heart. Out of politeness, since Derliand Gober had addressed her, she nonchalantly murmured a "hmm" in response, which sufficed for an answer.
To others, her attitude might seem a bit careless, almost as if she was showing a lack of respect.
Especially for soone like Derliand Gober, who wherever he went, was respectfully addressed as professor, it instinctively made him frown. Out of respect for Mr. Avalon, he refrained from making a scene, but privately, he also thought that Nathalie Quinlan’s rebellious nature ant she wouldn’t make much of a na for herself in the Departnt of Chinese dicine.
Shawn Norton didn’t care what they thought. Once Nathalie Quinlan’s admission into the Departnt of Chinese dicine was set, he slowly said, "If you’re majoring in Chinese dicine, you should have a minor as well. Have you thought about what you want to minor in?"
Nowadays, it’s common for university students to graduate with dual degrees. Typically, besides choosing one’s major, students would also select a minor around one month after the start of school, often through the student course selection system.
Of course, so popular majors also involve mutual selection issues, such as finance, clinical science, and other sought-after fields, which aren’t so easy to mince into as a minor.
So earlier, when Ghania Quinlan was chosen by Derliand Gober, the question of whether she would minor in Finance caused quite a stir.
Now that Shawn Norton had spoken up, everyone began to realize sothing, looking over with disbelief—It was one thing for Mr. Avalon to take a disciple, but what did Mr. Norton an by this? Was he also intending to take on a disciple? And not as a major, but as a minor?!
