“Did you give them your number?” Pansy asked.

Miranda replied, “No, I didn’t.”

“Neither of them?”

“Yes.”

Oh, my gosh!

Pansy finally understood the situation. Miranda wasn’t interested in either of them, yet they ended up fighting each other.

Pansy was a reasonable person and understood that this had nothing to do with Miranda. It was the students of their college who were being foolish. “It’s fine, you can go now.”

From then on, Miranda stopped going to the cafeteria for lunch. She either ordered takeout or asked Madison to help buy lunch on her behalf. Only then did things quiet down.

This incident had become a popular piece of gossip among the students of Dunham College.

Nonetheless, it didn’t concern Miranda at all. She simply shut herself off from the outside world and buried herself in her experiments, processing data, and writing her thesis.

Apart from that, she completely ignored any external noise, whether it was praise or criticism, good or

bad.

The annual Scientist Commendation Ceremony was held in the Elgerson Great Hall. Paul had won two prestigious prizes, drawing the attention of the entire audience.

Everyone present at the ceremony was a heavyweight in their respective fields of science, but there was still a difference in stature among them.

Undoubtedly, Paul was one of the few standing at the very top of the hierarchy.

Charles went up to him. “Congratulations, Paul! This is your third consecutive year of winning prizes, isn’t

it?”

“Dr. Fisher, you’re too kind. Back then, you won for five consecutive years. No one has broken that record. to this day. My achievement isn’t worth mentioning, Paul said.

Charles chuckled. “Paul, you’re still as modest as ever!

The prizes and awards he won back then weren’t as prestigious, but the flattering way Paul worded it was like music to his ears.

He added, “Each new generation will surpass the last one. From now on, it’s young scientists like you who will lead the future. Old fogies like us should do our part and pass on the legacy to help the younger generation to rise up.”

Paul said with a smile, “It doesn’t matter whether we’re young or old. AILI know is that experience and wisdom comes with age.”

“I’m no match for you when it comes to words. I give up.” Charles said with a wave of his hand before suddenly changing the topic. “By the way, speaking of young scientists. That young lady you recommended from Bedford College… What was her name? MI…”

“Miranda,” Paul answered as he straightened up instinctively.

“Yes, that’s right. Her academic ability is really impressive. It all made sense when I found out she was Dr. Young’s student.”

“How did you know she was capable?”

Charles explained, “One time, I went to the lab to pick up some equipment. She was leading two other members of her group through the experiment’s process. Her thinking was clear and logical. Most importantly, she had considered every detail in the experiment.

“Every step had a corresponding validation method. I’ve never seen such meticulousness and rigor in a student before. You said that she’s only in her first year of graduate school?”

“Yes.” Paul nodded.

“That’s all the more remarkable. She’s already surpassed the second and third year graduate students. under me!”

A faint smile appeared on Paul’s lips, and a hint of pride flashed in his eyes. He wasn’t even aware of it when he said, “She has always been excellent.”

However, Charles‘ tone became serious. “But you must be careful with such talent to make sure that she

is not led astray.”

Paul raised an eyebrow. “It sounds like you’re implying something?”

Charles sighed and said, “Oh, don’t you know?”

“Tell me, I’m listening.”

“It’s like this. Two days ago, a counselor from our department came to me. She mentioned that Miranda has been getting love confessions from the male students in the college cafeteria repeatedly. Two undergraduate students even got into a fight over her.
