BXBX NOVEL Chapter 300 - Small Steps.
Yang Dao disconnected his call with Lisa and dialed Mary\'s number on his phone. The call connected and the lady on the other side spoke with great excitement, "Young Master, the research team sent in a report. Graphene sheets and tubes were successfully developed. They also reported that they had to make some alterations but the basic technology was the same as you provided them."
Well, the theory Yang Dao provided the people was compiled from the research and development of the said project research all over the world. The theory did have some loopholes, but the boy was not skilled enough to overcome them on his own at the moment. The people on the scientist team, however, had a broader range of experience pooled together, and to make it work the way they wanted it to, they made some changes in the technology and achieved the results.
Contrary to Mary\'s expectation, Yang Dao just replied, "Okay, have them look forward and inform me when they can mass-produce it. Also, have them transmit the data back to me. I will study it to help them in my break times."
Mary became sluggish. She did not expect the boy to overlook the achievement. However, she cast a gaze across her table where Yurika was smiling at her mouth the words, \'Told you so.\'
The lady agreed to Yang Dao\'s instructions and after disconnecting the call, she said, "Why are these siblings similar to the point of despair."
Yurika said, "That is because they are siblings and they do not care about the small achievements on the way to supremacy?" she paused and then continued, "I have known Dao, all my life. He is a person who would keep looking forward, one goal then another goal and this sequence keep going on. To him, small achievements are just steps to walk forward on the way.
Also, when he is preparing for exams, everything losses its purpose to him. His focus will be aimed at his books and books only."
Mary sighed and said, \'Well, whatever, it is. he said, get the date back to him for analysis."
Yurika nodded and started to contact the people of the research center to get things done.
...
Yang Dao disconnected the call and raised his hand to check the time. He turned around and saw Icarus, Kiya, and Kylie Dew staring at him in exasperation. He asked, "What happened?"
Kiya placed both her hands on her waist and asked, "Do you have to be so single-minded that you cannot even pick up the call? What would you do if someone died while you are busy? Do you have no sense of social connection?"
She was really depressed about the way Yang Dao reacted today. This guy almost made her cry thinking something happened to him. So she was just venting out her heart at him. It was already nine o\'clock and no students were wandering outside otherwise, imagine the idol being scolded by his class rep for being irresponsible.
Yang Dao said, "I apologize, I forgot to turn on the ringer after the press event. I will be careful in the future. Now, the things have been sorted out. You guys should get back to the dorms and study for the exams."
Icarus asked, "What about you? You are not planning to stay in the library the whole night, are you?"
Yang Dao nodded, shocking everyone. In the next second, he walked straight to the library. Kylie said, \'Dao, did you eat?"
The boy shook his head and said, "I will eat in the morning." he did not wait for anyone\'s reaction and walked inside the building.
Kylie said to Icarus and Kiya, "Don\'t worry, he is just too worried about the exam?"
The two people chuckled and said, "You are underestimating him. He will shock you with the results."
They were aware of this guy\'s horror. He would never compete with others, as his only goal was his own self. This is why Kiya loved him. The three people walked back to their boardings. Icarus was the last as he acted like a gentleman and escorted the two ladies to their abode first. The night passed away as a fleeting matter.
Since it was the last week before the exam the college was scarce of students. They were all caving up to catch up with their lost lessons. The cafeteria was the only place where you can find some human activity. Yang Dao walked holding a book in his hands and came to the cafeteria. On the way, he did not once look up from the book but avoided obstacles successfully.
A few people thought he was deliberately acting like this and took his pictures and posted them on the college forum. While some admired that Yang Dao was like this because these people noticed how the boy was still wearing the same clothes from yesterday.
Without any care about the gazes pointed at him, the boy came to the cafeteria. He stood aside as the seats were almost full and he was also more interested in the topic he was reading. After half an hour he closed the book and took a portion of meal from the aunt at the counter with a smile. The lady had a good impression of this guy and gave him enough food for two people.
After eating the meal with big bites he came back to the library. He called Lisa and asked her to deliver clothes to him. Lisa had no problem and did as he told her. He raided Icarus\' dorm room for a shower and other stuff. This whole week the boy was spotted in either the library, the cafeteria, or Icarus\' dorm. he would also, help a few students of the same grade with their problems.
A week passed away and the boy took exams for his four courses. The datasheet was easy enough to follow and the exams did not overlap. He did not rush out of the halls early but patiently wrote down the answers, triple-checked the answers in his mind, and also took a nap. The teachers were surprised but after they glanced through the exam sheets, they all had big smiles.
They all worked overtime to complete the check and know how much the student scored.. They were looking forward to the result of these exams.
