Wanting to Crawl into a Hole
The students and teachers nearby were completely stunned, but this did not surprise Su Li or Dean Gu in the slightest.
Dean Gu stood beside Su Li and introduced to the surrounding students and teachers who were dropping their jaws in shock, "This is Mr. Su Yu, personally hired by me. Since ancient times, heroes emerge in youth. Mr. Su Yu, at the age of binding his hair, has already reached unparalleled mastery in mathematics, a prodigy of his generation. Our Wutong Academy is fortunate to have him as Head of Mathematics, which is a great honor for both the academy and all students!"
As soon as Dean Gu finished speaking, the crowd of a thousand at the entrance was so stunned they were speechless. The place fell utterly silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Behind Dean Gu, Wang Shili’s cheeks flushed red. He never expected that the young man he mistook for a new student was actually Mr. Su Yu himself!
Wang Shili felt his worldview collapse. How could a fifteen-year-old boy be so highly valued by a powerful figure like Dean Gu? Why!?
Of course, at this moment, Wang Shili didn’t know that not only the influential Dean Gu valued Su Li, but also that Su Li’s household included the mighty war god general Xiao Zetian, who obeyed Su Li’s every word; and the esteemed royal relative, the Crown Prince of Huainan, who also admired Su Li greatly.
Thinking back on the foolish words he had just said to Mr. Su Yu, Wang Shili wished he could crawl into a hole and hide. At the same time, a blazing flame of hatred rose in his heart, convinced that Su Yu had deliberately hidden his identity to make him look ridiculous!
What a malicious schemer!
But everyone present was focused entirely on Dean Gu and Mr. Su Yu; no one paid any attention to Wang Shili’s thoughts.
Dean Gu solemnly invited Mr. Su Yu into Wutong Academy. The academy had prepared a grand and formal welcome ceremony. Once Dean Gu escorted Su Li inside, the ceremony began.
In fact, for this ceremony, Wutong Academy had even canceled classes for the day so that all students and teachers could attend, showing their respect for Mr. Su Yu.
At the welcome banquet, Dean Gu personally introduced Mr. Su Yu to the academy’s important elder figures. Su Li stood out with his distinguished aura, poised manner, and broad knowledge from his time-travel experience. Though young, he exuded the demeanor of a great master.
Wang Shili, being an ordinary teacher, naturally wasn’t allowed into the main banquet hall. He had to sit with other regular teachers in the outer hall, watching Dean Gu personally accompany Su Yu, his eyes green with jealousy.
"What a pretty boy, I wonder what skills you have!" Wang Shili grumbled as he took a sip of wine, clearly displeased.
Sitting at the same table as Wang Shili were other mathematics teachers. These teachers were the most interested in Mr. Su Yu at Wutong Academy. Even before Su Yu’s arrival, they had been privately speculating about who this new Head of Mathematics might be.
Today, they finally saw him and were utterly shocked. They had expected an old man with decades of experience, but instead, a fifteen-year-old boy had suddenly appeared.
Among these mathematics teachers, the youngest was Liu Bozong, a 21-year-old known as a "little genius" in mathematics. Despite his youth, his skills were excellent, which earned him a teaching position at Wutong Academy.
Liu Bozong was young and arrogant, considering himself the youngest great mathematician. But seeing a boy six years younger than him arrive and immediately become his direct superior made him very unhappy.
