This elderly gentleman held an extremely high position in academia and had overseen multiple key national research projects.
His visit was ostensibly to see relatives, but in reality, he had heard about Shanshan's accomplishments and came specifically to meet the reputedly gifted child.
Seeing them come in, Ling Zhenkang immediately greeted them with a smile.
"Shanshan, come over. Say hello to Grandpa Xu."
With such a capable person emerging in the Ling family, the elders naturally felt immensely proud.
Shanshan obediently went forward and greeted him.
Mr. Xu sized her up for a moment, giving a slight nod.
He knew that despite her youth, she had already won national awards in mathematics and physics competitions, so his interest was already piqued.
When he asked a few casual questions, her answers were fluent and logical.
Fortunately, Shanshan had always loved to dabble in new things, willing to give anything a try.
