The Side Character's Hidden Boss! Chapter 172 - The Wei Family Genius

Chapter 172 - The Wei Family Genius

After the meal, people spread off in groups of 2s and 3s. They split off to watch TV or chat.

At gatherings like this, the uncles and aunties talked about investment and economy, luxury goods and make-up. But soon the topic would return to their children. Every year Mo Yi and Jiang Yao could only sit there and smile.

After all, their own daughter was a good-for-nothing. Mo Li was either last or second last place in cla.s.s. Even though they had an adopted daughter, the other families didn't really see Qiao Qing as part of the Mo Family.

Among these people, the person who liked to gloat about these things the most was Elder Mo's old business partner, Elder Wei. Elder Wei's eldest son would always smile proudly whenever he talked about his daughter, Wei Lan. Wei Lan was same age as Mo Li but she was not in high school anymore. Wei Lan was the most outstanding person among all the juniors present.

Wei Lan finished junior high syllabus when she was 9 and entered high school. She graduated from high school when she was 11. Then she was offered a scholars.h.i.+p from the University of Texas. At 14, Wei Lan as the valedictorian was invited to continue her study at Heidelberg College in Germany. She received her PhD at 16.

Even Mo Li was impressed by the girl's achievement. Before she transmigrated, Mo Li received her PhD at 22.

"Ha Ha. Recently our Lan Lan is researching something called the torsion theory. She has been busy with her second doctoral thesis."

While the others gasped, Mo Li was unaffected. In her previous life, she had finished many doctoral theses as well. It was not that hard. Mo Li didn't have an IQ of 200 but 187 was already high enough. Furthermore, Mo Li was gifted with a photographic memory. It was why she was such a good coroner. She would be able to detect the smallest details that other people would overlook.

Moreover, Mo Li obtained her MD right after her PhD in the same year.

"I also heard that our Lan Lan is trying to acquire some kind of BS and MS degrees. I'm afraid none of you know what those even mean!"

"BS and MS are not worth that much anymore. If she is able, she should directly apply for SCD." Mo Li offered plainly. Mo Li was direct. It sounded like she was showing off but honestly Mo Li was just offering an advice from her experience. She didn't want the girl to waste years to acquire meaningless degrees. For example, Mo Li herself was working for a MA degree, skipping over the BS.

Wei Lan who sat next to her father turned to Mo Li with a frown. Who is this Mo Li to pipe up? Everyone knows she is useless at her studies! So who is she to comment about my education plan?

Father Wei was a little offended as well. He had done his best to nurture Wei Lan. He hired many private tutors for her. He also registered her in piano, pipa, cla.s.sical dance cla.s.ses. To help her with her p.r.o.nunciation and languages, he hired foreign teachers to teach Wei Lan English and Spanish.

Compared to other juniors of her age, Wei Lan was an all-around genius. She was so outstanding that no one could match up to her. The Wei Family could always bring up Wei Lan to bring shame to the other families.

After all, everyone knew that their own children wouldn't compare to Wei Lan. The other juniors also didn't dare to speak up around Wei Lan lest they exposed their shortcomings. Therefore, they thought it was foolish for Mo Li to speak out of her place earlier.

"Dad, since we've just finished dinner, why don't I play the piano to get the guests to relax?" It sounded like she was asking for permission but Wei Lan was already walking towards the piano.. "After all, I'm a professionally trained pianist, unlike those so-called artists from the entertainment industry."
