Maybe...
This time it might cause an even bigger commotion than last time!
This won't do!
He immediately said, "Lin Beichen, how about we put this research on hold for a bit? Why don't you look into some research where the school can provide you with assistance?"
After speaking, he didn't wait for Lin Beichen to respond.
He hurriedly added, "Someone's coming over here, so let's leave it at that for now. Lin Beichen, think about something the school can help you with, and just apply to me. I'll hang up now."
"Beep beep beep..."
The busy tone came through.
How could Lin Beichen not understand such an obvious refusal?
He looked helplessly at his counselor, who took his phone and shrugged, showing a "there's nothing I can do" expression.
"Alright, Lin Beichen, do you have any other issues?"
"No, I don't."
Lin Beichen shook his head, said goodbye to his counselor, and left the office.
