As An Eight Year Old, I Went Into Financial Management Behind My Parents Back - Chapter 18

Chapter 18: Professor’s Call

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Just as the discussion was about to reach its climax, a voice came from the host’s earpiece.

“Ask Lance if he’ll accept our questions.”

It was the production team.

They told the host everything that had happened on the bullet screen.

After the host received the production team’s order, he hesitated slightly.

After all, he vaguely felt that Lance was just bragging.

How could an eight-year-old primary school student learn a high school course?

If Lance’s bragging was exposed by the production team, more and more people would mock him!

Could such a young child withstand the malice of those people on the Internet? The host could not help but hesitate.

Just as the host was hesitating, the production team urged him again.

He was helpless. After a round of criticism, he could only ask, “Lance, since you said that you’ve already learned the high school curriculum, may I ask if you’re willing to answer a few high school questions?”

As soon as the host said this, the comments became lively again.

[Lance dares to answer? He will be laughed at.]

[If you ask me, even if the show had a script, Lance wouldn’t be able to recite the answer accurately.]

[Haha, I agree!]

[This City News is famous. There can’t be a script! The person-in-charge of the City News did a good job. We should expose Lance on the spot!]

[…]

On the bullet screen, more and more people didn’t believe Lance.

Lance, who was the central character of the subject of conversation, merely smiled.

The City News was actually giving him a chance to prove his strength in public.

“I’d like that.”

Lance said casually.

Seeing that Lance agreed so readily, even the host, who was extremely professional, could not help but be stunned.

When the host came back to his senses, the questions for Lance had already been prepared for him.

He took the question and was about to ask Lance when he was shocked by the question in his hand.

He could tell at a glance that some of these questions were so tricky that even high school students could not answer them!

This question is for the eight-year-old Lance to answer? It might be too difficult for him.

Even the host felt that Lance was in trouble.

On the other hand, Lance still looked relaxed, even calmer than the host.

Seeing this, the host felt inferior.

After he adjusted his state, he began to ask questions.

“The first question is Math. Please prove AB>AH.”

With that, the host handed the question to Lance.

After handing it to Lance, he thought that Lance would think for a long time.

After all, this math question was slightly abnormal. The graphics were so complicated that they occupied one-eighth of the paper.

The host thought so, but in the next moment, Lance immediately took out a gender-neutral pen and wrote the answer as if he had divine inspiration.

“…”

So fast? Did he just fill it out randomly?

The host was completely stunned.

…

“I’m done.”

Five minutes later, Lance put down his pen.

It took him two minutes to read the questions.

For the remaining three minutes, Lance did not stop writing.

His steps were concise, but due to physical reasons, his writing speed was a bit slow, otherwise, he could have saved even more time.

This question was very simple for him, and he wrote the answer after reading the problem, as it was a basic operation for him.

But this matter happened to an eight-year-old’s body, which was enough to cause a sensation!

After the host recovered from his shock, he took Lance’s answer and began to compare it with the correct answer.

“It’s completely correct!”

Realizing that Lance might be a child prodigy, the host was so excited that his voice almost changed.

[Tsk, isn’t it just one question? Maybe it’s just very simple.]

[Then Lance is amazing too, okay? He’s only eight years old.]

[I don’t believe it. There are so many questions. I don’t believe Lance can answer them all!]

During this time, Lance casually glanced at the barrage of comments.

Don’t believe it yet? He sneered.

You will believe it later!

“Then let’s continue to answer the questions…” The host timely interjected.

Five minutes later.

[…I believe him.]

[Me too! All ten questions are correct, and almost all the answers are written after reading the questions. Amazing!]

[Prodigy, pardon my ignorance. I won’t spout nonsense anymore.]

[Baby Lance is so smart! Love!]

The speed of the bullet screen increased even more.

One of the comments was annihilated by other messages—

[I’m a professor at A University. This is a good seedling!]

[No, this is a genius!]

At this moment.

There was silence on the scene for a while. When the host calmed down a little, he looked at Lance with admiration.

After much hesitation, the host finally mustered his courage to ask.

“Lance, Uncle wants to ask if you’re familiar with university-level content?”

The host was certain that some of the questions in Lance’s answers used university-level knowledge.

Hearing this, Lance said modestly, “I only know a little.”

After receiving this answer, the host and the audience heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Lance only knew a little.

Otherwise, it would be too heaven-defying if he was familiar with university content!

Just as the audience was immersed in shock, the host’s earpiece was once again in chaos.

After understanding the instructions from the backstage, the host swallowed his saliva and said in a daze.

“Professor at University A requests to be connected.”

…

“Hello, Lance. I’m a professor at A University.”

As soon as the call connected, the other party immediately revealed his identity.

One could hear the excitement in his voice.

“Hello,” Lance replied politely.

“I took the liberty to contact you because I want to invite you to our school!”

“Our school is a top-notch institution. If you come, we can discuss all kinds of benefits and perks!”

He was full of sincerity.

This time, the comments on the bullet screen were even more crazy.

[AA… A professor?! This world is crazy.]

[Isn’t Lance so lucky? It must be a blessing from his previous life to be chosen by a professor from A University.]

[I don’t think he’s lucky. He’s strong.]

[I think so too. It’s clearly because Lance is talented that the professor cordially contacted him.]

[Regardless of this, I’m the only one who wants to know if Lance will agree to enroll in university.]

[Me too… but I think Lance will definitely agree. After all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I wish the little darling a chance to join University A.]

[…]

“I’m sorry. I need to think about it. It’s not time yet.”

Just as the bullet screen was congratulating Lance for joining A University, Lance said something shocking.

[… Did I hear wrongly?]

[Lance actually refused? Baby, do you know what you rejected?]

[Amazing! Is this a prodigy? So arrogant.]

[If a professor from A University invited me to their school, I would wake up laughing even in my dreams. Such an opportunity was rejected by little Lance?]

Not only the netizens, but even the professor, who had experienced many storms, was stunned.

However, he was quick-witted. Seeing that Lance did not reject him completely, the professor softened his tone again.

Apart from his patience for scientific research, the professor had never had such an attitude towards anything else.

“Yes, yes, yes. You’re young now, so you’re not in a hurry to enroll in University.”

“Although we can discuss this later, I still hope that you can give me a chance!”

“When you get to University A, I’ll protect you.”

Lance responded humbly.

“Thank you, Professor. It’s my honor to have your approval.”
