Professor Sun held a cellphone in one hand and pulled at Bai Chuwei's sleeve with the other, his tone excited to the extreme. It was clear that this old professor was also in the group chat and had seen the earlier message.
Professor Li from the Math Department, seeming to take pleasure in the misfortune, said to Bai Chuwei, "Chuwei, if you don't want to go to the archaeological site, let's work on math problems together. I've made some progress on that world-class problem you left behind. We could discuss it with the students!"
What's the point of going to an archaeological site?
Following a group of professors, Bai Chuwei would only be able to respectfully keep a low profile as a student, running errands for the archaeology experts.
But working with their Math Department would be different, all the professors and students would have to consult her! Others would be running errands for her!
There they go again, trying to poach her!
