Two hours later, Nan Yan stretched her back and capped her pen. She calmly said, “I’m done.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the freshly completed exam paper was immediately snatched away by the department heads.

“This is truly… amazing.”

“We’re getting another genius at our Imperial University!”

“Let’s make it clear, Nan Yan is joining my physics department, and none of you should even think about competing with me!”

“Nonsense! Look at her essay, and then her insights into classical poetry. If properly cultivated, she could become a contemporary literary giant!”

“Rubbish! You can tell from her problem-solving approach on the math paper that she’s destined to be an academic genius. Do you all want to hold her back?”

Zhang Chenyin and Qin Shiyu watched as several department heads began arguing again in their competition for Nan Yan. They decided to each grab a chair, sit on the side, sip on their tea, and enjoy the show.

These department heads, who usually appeared as scholarly figures and were considered top idols in the eyes of Imperial University students, were now bickering like market vendors haggling over vegetables.

The stark contrast was truly remarkable and left everyone astonished.

As the department heads argued with flushed faces, seemingly on the verge of rolling up their sleeves to fight, Nan Yan rubbed her temples and spoke up,

“Department heads, please calm down a bit.”

The department heads, who were in the midst of arguing, suddenly halted and turned their heads toward her.

Only then did they remember.

All their arguing was pointless; they needed to ask the person involved for her opinion!

“By the way, Nan Yan, which department would you like to join? Is it the Department of Mathematics?”

“Nan Yan, don’t listen to him. Joining the mathematics department is tough on the hair. Look at you, such a beautiful young lady. What if you end up bald in the future? How terrible! You should consider joining the Department of Literature.”

“Elder Du, I never knew you were this cunning!” The department head of the mathematics department pointed a trembling finger at Du Chong, the department head of the literature department, looking furious.

But what Du Chong said was indeed true.

Whether it was the medical school, mathematics department, or physics department, students from these departments often had thinner hair compared to students from other departments…

Du Chong widened his eyes slightly. “I’m just speaking the truth! Look at our Nan Yan, she’s as beautiful as a fairy. If she becomes a bald girl in the future, that would be a tragedy!”

“Elder Du, are you looking for a fight!”

The department head of the mathematics department rolled up his sleeves, infuriated.

The other department heads quickly stepped in and said, “Hold on, you two are not that young anymore. Making a scene like this, aren’t you concerned about setting a bad example? Don’t you worry about embarrassing Nan Yan in front of her?”

“You’re the department heads of Imperial University, show some composure. Don’t make a ruckus and scare Nan Yan.”

“Let’s all calm down. Now, we need to hear Nan Yan’s opinion. Arguing won’t change anything…”

Nan Yan’s gaze fell on Department head Zong Jinqi, who didn’t seem to be much better than the other department heads. She couldn’t help but change her impression of him significantly after seeing him in person today.

Department head Zong Jinqi was also her father Nan Mingxuan’s mentor.

When she was younger, she often heard her father talk about Department head Zong’s achievements. In her father’s descriptions, Department head Zong was like an unattainable peak, a person with a cold and distant demeanor, and gaining his approval was harder than reaching the sky.

Yet now, he was just like the other department heads, trying to persuade her to join his biology department…

She had originally thought it would be troublesome, but now it seemed that as long as she agreed, she could become Department head Zong’s student directly!

For Nan Yan, this was good news. What she couldn’t afford to waste right now was time.

Only by gaining Department head Zong’s approval as soon as possible could she start researching the medicine to save Shen Junqing and Bai Chen.

When the department heads asked for her opinion, Nan Yan’s gaze turned directly to Department head Zong Jinqi.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Department head Zong, I want to join the biology department.”

As soon as she spoke, several department heads became agitated. Only Department head Zong Jinqi hesitated for a moment before nodding repeatedly, “Certainly, certainly!”

“Hey, Nan Yan, let me tell you, choosing a department can greatly affect your future. Your talents in other subjects are not lacking either. You should think about it carefully. Don’t blindly commit to a department!”

“Take your time to consider. There’s still some time before the semester starts. Don’t rush to decide on a department. Maybe you can spend some time in each department, gain some practical experience, and then make a decision..”
