She simply smiled at Gao Diaomao's lavish praise, completely unmoved by it.
Her gaze was focused yet devoid of aggression as she looked at Han Lie, waiting for this young man to decide how to initiate their first encounter.
Han Lie understood her intent, and his smile widened noticeably.
"What did you study, Sister Xue? I'm a poor student, but I don't particularly admire 'top students.' Most people are focused only because they have no other choice. But for a beautiful girl like you, Sister Xue, to be able to settle down and study diligently all the way to a Ph.D. at Fudan University is truly rare and commands respect. President Gao's high praise must stem from a similar admiration, wouldn't you agree?"
"Ah, yes! Exactly! So true!"
Gao Diaomao immediately clapped and shook his head, sighing with boundless admiration.
