Chapter 714 - Professor Chen (2/2)

Prior to the meeting, Zhao Youyue had attempted to paint a picture to the pen-name, “Master PhD.” How would a Master PhD look like? Would she be sporting a long, white lab coat with high-powered glasses on a cold, poker face? Would she look like a mad scientist?

When she met Professor Chen, that image had shattered into a million pieces.

Professor Chen was petite, barely standing over 150cm. She was sweet, cute and did not have any glasses on…

Chen Chen revealed a slightly embarrassed smile. Her loli voice that matched her body squeaked out, “How are you, Ms. President.”

Zhao Youyue could not believe that this Professor Chen was already 28 years old. She was already close to graduation.

Professor Chen started writing web novels when she was 15 years old. That was 13 years ago. At that time, web novels were just emerging. Compared to the current state of affairs, it had only been the tiniest speck at the center of a quark…

The web novelists who debuted around the same time as Professor Chen would never have expected this fellow pioneer to actually be a cute legal loli who even knew how to play a part.

Therefore, Professor Chen’s “a guy’s promise” was utter hogwash. So was her typical wager of how “if you’re not able to fulfill the promise, then wear women’s clothing.” She was already in women’s clothing, and not just any women’s clothing, but the super cute, pink fluffy type.

Zhao Youyue returned Chen Chen’s greetings and addressed her as ‘Master PhD.’ Professor Chen blushed. “Don’t call me Master PhD. It sounds like you’re calling me a child with a big butt [1]. Just call me ‘Professor Chen.’ I prefer the title ‘professor.'”

Professor Chen was proud of her identity as a female professor. No matter how you look at it, a Sociology certification from the world famous Jiangnan University was highly respectable.

However, some men in this world would still look down on female professors. Ladies belonged to the third species. It was most probably a defense-mechanism that over-compensated for the male sense of inferiority, when in the presence of an alpha female.

“Alright. How are you, Professor Chen? I really did not expect to find a High God like you to have hidden in Jiangnan University. You’re actually my senior! This feels so surreal!” Zhao Youyue said rather sincerely.

Professor Chen was clearly not that type of slow-witted person who knew nothing about socializing. She quickly stepped into the ‘you flatter me — I flatter you’ game. “It’s natural for me to slip past your divine gaze. But I do know you. You ran for the Student Council Elections, and I actually voted for you! I really like Hua Chenyu. Do you think you can get him to sing at Jiangnan University?”

Zhao Youyue was not the type who idolized celebrities. They weren’t really that special to her. She could even command any single one of them to take her out on a date. However, she kept herself in the loop. This was why when she heard about Professor Chen’s half-joking request, she accepted it without blinking, which left the Professor floored.

Lady Zhao widened her smile “Professor Chen, let’s talk about your new book “Endless Apocalypse” … That smile only made her more beautiful than ever, but at the same time, she looked like a beast that was just revealing its fangs.

Translation note:

[1] “child with a big butt” (屁大) This is actually a pun on the author’s name. The Pinyin of the author’s name “Pi Da” (p大) has another meaning, which is “big butt”.
