Zhao Yi went to the office on the first floor of the biological laboratory building.
There were several teachers in the office. When he knocked on the door and entered, he was asked, "Student, can I help you?"
"..."
Zhao Yi felt that it might be a bit early to be called a 'student'. He hadn't truly enrolled yet, so could he only be considered a 'half-student'?
"Zhao Yi is here!"
Wei Shiqing looked up and recognized Zhao Yi. He stood up excitedly to welcome him in and introduced him to the other teachers. "This is Zhao Yi, the one who solved the Collatz Conjecture, you know? He is a freshman of our College of Life Sciences this year!"
"I knew he looked familiar!"
"It's Zhao Yi!"
"The genius high school student, I finally get to meet him in person!"
The teachers were chattering with surprise and excitement.
One of the teachers even offered Zhao Yi a cup of water, his enthusiastic manner moved Zhao Yi a bit.
