Li Chengze nodded heavily. "Yes, I believe in you, Master."
"You're right to believe in me," An Ning replied with certainty. She looked at the grinning Li Chengze. "I see you're very confident now. Weren't you afraid they'd try to keep you there?"
"That's all thanks to you, Master."
Li Chengze continued with a silly grin, "Master, you have no idea how rare this opportunity is. You know that paper you helped me with? After it was successfully published in an international research journal, I've already received invitations from several universities."
"You won't believe it—even my old university sent me an invitation."
At this, Li Chengze looked a little embarrassed but also resentful. "I was at my old university for three years. Most of the time, I felt like I was invisible. No one paid me any mind, and you could even say I was discriminated against."
"But now? I rejected their invitation flat out."
