Rebirth of a Top Student's Handbook

"Huh?" Zhou Min looked at Teacher Gong's fingertips with surprise, pointing to the small door of the rest room in the inner office.

Zhou Min had been to this office countless times, but she had never gone into the lounge inside.

In Zhou Min's view, the lounge is a very private place.

Moreover, you've taken up the rest room yourself, so where is Teacher Gong supposed to rest?

Just as Zhou Min was thinking about how to refuse Professor Gong, she heard Professor Gong continue in a calm tone: "I don't usually use this rest room. I'm usually in the lab at noon."

"Like This?"

Zhou Min was a little conflicted.

Reason told Zhou Min that she should refuse.

However, Zhou Min's habit of maximizing the use of everything made her feel that leaving things idle was a waste, and that waste was shameful.

Besides, we're already so familiar with Teacher Gong, there's no need to be so formal, right?

But Mr. Gong is, after all, a man...

Before Zhou Min could even prepare herself mentally, Teacher Gong continued, "You can also rest in the conference room next door. Zhang Kun and the others usually rest in the conference room at noon if they don't go home."

"That's fine."

This time Zhou Min answered quickly, and Gong Yu smiled slightly but didn't say anything more.

Zhou Min lingered in the lab for a while longer, then reluctantly returned to the classroom when it was almost time.

At noon, as soon as school was over, Zhou Min rushed to the computer science lab building with her schoolbag on her back.

During the last class, Zhou Min messaged Zhang Kun, intending to ask him to go to the cafeteria early to get food and reserve a seat for her.

However, Zhang Kun said that Teacher Gong had ordered food in the conference room today and invited Zhou Min to come along as well.

Zhou Min, who didn't want to queue at the cafeteria, went straight there as soon as get out of class ended without any delay.

Upon entering the conference room and noticing the surprised looks on everyone's faces, Zhou Min suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Although Zhou Min had been here often before and knew most of the people here, she still felt a little uncomfortable participating in someone else's group activity for the first time.

Especially when they all looked at him.

Fortunately, Teacher Gong immediately spoke up to help her out of the predicament.

"Zhou Min, the founder of Huachuang Future, will be working with me to supervise and guide everyone's learning and work for some time to come."

After hearing Teacher Gong's introduction, Zhou Min waved her hands repeatedly.

"No, no, I'm just here to learn. Hehehe..."

Just kidding, besides studying every day, I also have a ton of things to do at the company. I don't have any free time to come here and supervise my studies and work.

Moreover, everyone who can stay here is a top-notch genius!

How could I possibly guide them in their studies and work!

I wouldn't dare wear such a big hat.

Although I know that Teacher Gong was just being polite, I would feel embarrassed if a student actually took it seriously and came to me for guidance, and I didn't know the answer.

Amidst applause, Zhou Min followed Teacher Gong's instructions and sat down next to him with a forced smile.

Fortunately, everyone stopped paying attention to Zhou Min and started talking about the experiment again.

Because Zhou Min herself graduated with a degree in computer science, she listened with great interest to everyone's conversation.

After this initial incident, Zhou Min would receive a message from Zhang Kun inviting her to lunch every morning during the last period.

Everyone tacitly sat down in the same seats they had used for the last meal.

This also meant that Zhou Min had to always sit in the main seat.

Fortunately, Zhou Min has a thick skin, and over time, she completely adapted.

Later, after Zhou Min got tired of the meals ordered by Teacher Gong, she took the initiative to take on the task of ordering food.

It was on this day that Zhou Min learned that there was no tradition of eating lunch together in the Computer Research Institute in the past.

It was from the day I arrived that Professor Gong started taking charge of the students' lunches in the lab for the first time.

"Uh, you mean, Teacher Gong only treats everyone to meals every day because of me?" Zhou Min asked incredulously.

Hearing Zhou Min's narcissistic words, Zhang Kun couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "Stop patting yourself on the back. What I'm saying is that Teacher Gong only started paying attention to everyone's lunch after I officially joined Teacher Gong's team."

"Didn't you say that the day I came was the first time you treated me to a meal? But you've already been in the lab for several days now."

"Yes, but Professor Gong didn't know I didn't like eating in the cafeteria. The reason he ordered food that day was because I said the food in the third cafeteria here was not good when I was doing the experiment."

Looking at Zhang Kun's smug expression, Zhou Min curled her lips speechlessly. Ever since Zhang Kun was admitted to Professor Gong's graduate program, he has become ridiculously confident.

He now firmly believes that he is Teacher Gong's favorite student, and that everything before was Teacher Gong's test for him.

Even though her talent wasn't the best, Teacher Gong still firmly chose herself.

Of course, Zhang Kun also understood that he could only show off these feelings to Zhou Min.

Students like Yang Zixuan and Cheng Zhao, who are exceptionally talented and entered Professor Gong's lab without much testing, probably wouldn't understand me, nor would they buy into my views.

Fearing that Zhou Min wouldn't believe him, Zhang Kun recounted some details of his interactions with Teacher Gong to her.

This self-brainwashing-style "competition for favor" drama made Zhou Min roll her eyes.

Zhou Min, not wanting to hear Zhang Kun continue, interrupted him, saying, "Since Professor Gong is so good to you, why don't you take over ordering food for the lab from now on?"

"You can't let your respected teacher Gong go hungry."
