Professor Cheng hadn't expected Jiang Jing to lose her composure, and there was a touch of embarrassment on his face, "Jiang Jing is young and inexperienced; don't take it to heart, Old Xu."
Xu Long shook his head inwardly. The girl was too proud and haughty. If she failed even once, it would probably be a fatal blow to her, and perhaps she'd ruin her path in scientific research.
He kindly reminded her, "Young people should be more open-minded; you must understand that there are so many people in this world who are better than you. Not everything can go your way."
But Jiang Jing found these words grating to her ears.
She thought Professor Xu was implying that this Qiao Yun was better than her.
She pursed her lips, "If I could surpass that Qiao Yun in ability, would you change your mind then?"
Xu Long: "... Young person, your dream is truly great."
Xu Long looked at Jiang Jing with pity.
