The next morning was Tuesday.
As soon as Fang Bai walked into the classroom, his classmates saw him and surged towards his seat.
"Class Monitor, are you really investing 300,000 yuan to start a business?"
"That's playing too big, maybe invest less? It feels too risky."
"Yeah, I didn't sleep well all night. Let alone 300,000 yuan, even 30,000 yuan feels incredible; many families can't even come up with 3,000 yuan."
"Forget 3,000 yuan, even 300 yuan is a struggle."
Fang Bai saw more and more classmates gathering around him, asking questions. He unhurriedly took out his books, took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and then said, "This matter is settled. Don't fuss. Listen carefully in class and don't keep thinking about this.
Do things in your spare time. Most of you haven't done business before, so you must follow my instructions and not act on your own.
That's it. Go back to your seats and don't disturb my reading."
After speaking, he waved his hand, telling everyone to disperse.
"Disperse! The Class Monitor has decided, so everyone just needs to work together to implement it. Don't let down the Class Monitor's good intentions." The Youth League Branch Secretary stood up and shouted, "The Class Monitor also needs to study, and everyone needs to study. Talk less, do more."
Soon, everyone dispersed, only able to return to their seats and discuss in low voices.
Last night, some students returned to the dormitory late and didn't see Li Kai explain to everyone, still thinking the Class Committee was joking with them. Now, after getting confirmation from the Class Monitor, they couldn't believe it was really an investment of 300,000 yuan.
A few minutes later, class began. This was a Mechanical Drawing class.
Fang Bai saw it was a specialized course and continued to immerse himself in drawing. Professor Wang stood beside him and watched for a while. His roommate next to him coughed a few times, but he didn't notice.
Usually, Yang Tan sat next to him, but today, everyone was discussing issues and feared disturbing Fang Bai's reading, so they sat a bit further away. Otherwise, he could have nudged him.
Fang Bai suddenly felt the classroom quiet down. Why wasn't the professor continuing his lecture?
He looked up and only then noticed the professor standing silently beside him, watching. Fang Bai smiled sheepishly and put down his pencil and ruler.
"It's fine. As long as it doesn't affect other students in class, doing your own thing is no problem. Jiao Tong University encourages students to learn independently, and teachers assist students in learning. After all, when you enter society to engage in scientific research, you still rely on independent learning," the professor said approvingly. "Looking at your drawings, you've completely mastered the basics of drawing."
"It's alright. I learned some during the holidays."
"You're being modest. You're already making design BOM tables. The textbooks don't teach you this. Only formal design institutes use this when designing large structures. It seems you've seen official processing drawings.
Your BOM table lists quite a few components, so the structure seems quite complex. You must have about twenty drawings in this stack, right? May I take a look?"
Fang Bai thought for a moment and said, "Yes."
Having received permission, the professor casually picked up a finished drawing to look at. He only glanced at it for a while before he knew what was drawn.
Class was in session at this time, so it wasn't appropriate for him to look too much. He just picked up three A3 drawings of one of the components to examine.
About two minutes later, Professor Wang praised, "I can't find any problems with your drawings. The material usage and standards are all reasonable. With your design level, you could directly graduate from your undergraduate studies."
"Professor, you flatter me. I'm still far from that. There's still a lot of theoretical knowledge I haven't mastered. I'll have to ask for your guidance when I have time," Fang Bai said modestly. The components he drew were analyzed and corrected by the Golden Finger, which is why the professor couldn't find any problems.
"Professor, this is our Class Monitor, Fang Bai. He was the top scorer in the national college entrance examination, with full marks in three subjects. His learning ability is incredibly strong," Wang Yifei, who was sitting one desk away from Fang Bai, reminded him.
"Oh, very impressive. You probably didn't just study for one holiday. Just knowing the theoretical knowledge from books wouldn't allow you to draw this. You must have practiced in a machinery factory and seen a large number of drawings."
"Professor, you have a discerning eye. My family owns a machinery factory, and I just wanted to try out some new gadgets in the market."
"So that's it, no wonder.
You are excellent, combining theory with practice.
How about this: as long as it's my class, you can draw whatever you want. I'll give you full marks for your usual performance, and you don't need to submit homework. The assignments I give are only for beginners.
However, for written exams, you're on your own.
If you have any questions, you can come directly to me. My office is in Room 106 of the Mechanical Experiment Building." After the professor finished speaking, he patted Fang Bai's shoulder and returned to the podium, no longer looking at Fang Bai's drawings, as this might involve the products of the other party's company.
Having such a student in his class made him feel very gratified.
All the students in the class heard the professor's evaluation. So, the Class Monitor's family owned a machinery factory, and his design ability was so strong that he could already graduate, and even the professor couldn't find any problems.
He's a freak!
And his usual performance score was directly full marks.
Everyone couldn't be jealous; this was earned by genuine talent and knowledge, praised by the professor.
Fang Bai responded, gratefully saying, "Thank you, Professor!"
He had just received a prompt that he gained a network point, and he hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise.
Having obtained the Shang Fang Bao Jian, Fang Bai was delighted; he no longer had to hide his drawings.
He still needed to attend classes; the drawings were modified by the Golden Finger, not by his actual ability.
The professor smiled gracefully and waved his hand, "No need to thank me. You earned this with your own ability. I am honored to have a student like you.
If other students had half your level, their usual scores could also be full marks."
Upon hearing this, the students in the classroom felt it was better to give up; they couldn't compare to the Class Monitor, who was a monster.
They were just starting to learn drawing, while he was already engaged in complex designs, which would not even be a problem for a professional graduation project.
After two classes, Professor Wang left the classroom very satisfied.
When he returned to his office, he ran into Lu Yang, the Dean of the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, and happily said, "Dean, we have a very impressive freshman in our department! He has already learned to make BOM tables and design complex drawings. He could directly graduate without any problems."
Professor Wang liked Fang Bai as a student, but his own level was limited, and he felt there was nothing more he could teach Fang Bai. Otherwise, he would have hoped Fang Bai would apply for his graduate program.
"Oh, hearing you say that, he must be truly impressive. Which student has earned Professor Wang's favor?"
"His name seems to be Fang Bai. Students say he was the top scorer in the college entrance examination and that his family owns a machinery factory, so he has practical experience. But I think, generally, mechanical engineering graduates wouldn't reach his level without several years of work experience, which indicates that Fang Bai is a student of extremely high talent."
"Fang Bai, I know that student. I just didn't realize it. Thank you, Professor Wang, for informing me." Lu Yang nodded, deep in thought.
The information Qin Xue investigated said his family owned an electronics store, so how did a machinery factory appear? Since Fang Bai said it himself, it should be correct. It seems their investigation was not thorough.
What surprised him was that Fang Bai's learning ability was already so strong. It seemed he should find time to talk to him.
A business genius? Or a learning genius?
Truly remarkable!
