“Ms. Seven, are you certain about your decision? I’m aware of your situation, and I think I could persuade that individual,” President Zhang said. He took a sip of tea, looking rather benign.

Rong Qi didn’t look up. “Not teaching at Capital University has nothing to do with him.”

“Alright then, I respect your decision. When Xing Han comes back from invigilating the exams, I’ll have him take you to collect something.”

“Can’t he just bring them to me?” Rong Qi asked.

“It has to be you in person.” President Zhang insisted.

“Fine.” Rong Qi closed the topic and continued perusing the file in her hands, which contained profiles of her students from Class 7.

To pass the time, Rong Qi booted up the computer and started drafting a report for her successor. It was a set of personalized teaching plans for each student in Class 7, designed to help the next instructor adapt their methods accordingly. Her slender fingers flew across the white keyboard, a pleasing sight to behold.

President Zhang suddenly felt a twinge of regret. ‘Why haven’t I realized before how moldable and talented Rong Qi is? If I had known, I wouldn’t have wasted her in Class 7. The university had far more important places for her talents.’

As soon as Rong Qi finished the teaching plan, Xing Han walked in.

“President Zhang, those darn kids are impossible. Did you know that Class 7… Huh? Ms. Seven, you’re here too?”

Xing Han stopped his rant, looking puzzled at Rong Qi.

Rong Qi regarded Xing Han calmly. “What about Class 7? Go on, it’s fine.”

“Well…” Xing Han hesitated, then said, “Ms. Seven, your students are out of line. They started handing in their papers just fifty minutes into the exam. Don’t they know they must wait an hour before they can submit early? What’s going on with them?”

“That’s it?” Rong Qi asked.

“That’s it.” Xing Han replied.

“I requested them to do that. Any problem?” Rong Qi inquired.

Xing Han looked utterly baffled. “Why? Is this odd request that important? An exam is supposed to be finished and then reviewed before submission. Your demand is just nonsensical.”

“Research shows that the human brain can only focus intensively for up to 25 minutes. For adults, the optimal learning period is 20-30 minutes. My requirement for them has always been to finish all the questions accurately within half an hour,” said Rong Qi.

She paused before continuing, “However, since they’re just getting used to my teaching style and are still adjusting, I don’t fault them for taking a little extra time.”

“But this… this is unreasonable. Every exam should follow…” Xing Han said.

“My students follow my instructions. It’s not your concern.” Rong Qi said bluntly.

Xing Han opened his mouth in protest, “Ms. Seven! This isn’t your university!”

“I’m aware of that. You don’t have to remind me.” Rong Qi replied.

“What I mean is, you should abide by the university’s rules and regulations!” Xing Han said sternly.

“As long as they excel, isn’t that enough? Half an hour is enough for them to match what your so-called good students can do in an hour and a half. Isn’t it better if they use the rest of their time for other pursuits rather than sitting idly in a classroom?” Rong Qi argued.

“What… President Zhang, look at her!” Xing Han was no match for Rong Qi.

Xing Han found himself agreeing with Rong Qi, leaving him with no counterargument!

President Zhang pondered for a moment and said, “Class 7 has always been different. Let it be, endure it for now. Go ahead and show Ms. Seven the things now.”

“Fine then. Ms. Seven, please come with me.” Xing Han invited.

Rong Qi nodded, transferred the completed teaching plan to her phone, and got up to follow Xing Han.

As Rong Qi was about to leave the office, President Zhang’s voice suddenly called out, “Rong Qi, the doors of Capital University will always be open for you. If you ever have regrets, I’ll act as if nothing ever happened..”
