In August, the sun in Seoul was very warm, almost scorching Park Jiho. However, at this moment, Park Jiho was in a good mood as he walked into Seoul National University, and the security guard from before smiled and nodded at him.

It is often said that South Korea is the country that values academic credentials the most. Even during the summer break, Seoul National University was still bustling with people, which shows how hardworking these Koreans are. If you don't work hard now, you will be eliminated in the future. Korean companies are known for their semi-military management style, which is efficient but also brutal, using a survival of the fittest model.

However, this was not something Park Jiho needed to worry about. He ran to the Seoul National University playground as quickly as possible. Sure enough, as the two creepy students had said yesterday, CoreCentensMedia had set up several temporary shelters on the campus to accept applications from Seoul National University students!

It must be said that CoreCentensMedia's public relations were quite good, coming up with such a good idea. This would allow TARA to receive more attention and, more importantly, give him a chance. Without hesitation, Park Jiho, filled with excitement, went to the CoreCentensMedia registration point and quickly filled out and submitted his application.

However, the female staff member who received his application, perhaps because she was new, returned it to Park Jiho with difficulty, saying, "I'm sorry, teachers are not allowed to participate!"

"Ha ha ha...!" The surrounding crowd burst into laughter!

Park Jiho, almost on the verge of spitting blood, said, "I'm sorry, I'm not a teacher. Please check my age, I'm only 24! Sister!"

The female staff member immediately panicked and took Park Jiho's application, saying, "Ah... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, student. Because you haven't shaved and your aura makes you look so old, I made a mistake!"

"Ha ha ha...!" Another round of merciless laughter!

Park Jiho's face turned red, "Please don't say anything more!"

"Ah... I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" The female staff member apologized profusely!

However, the registration incident made Park Jiho finally decide to shave his beard and dress in a style suitable for young people. He finally realized that the look his teacher had given him on the day of his release made him look at least ten years older. He wanted to go back to the prison and drag that old man to the yard to beat him up, but unfortunately, he couldn't go back, and the old man would never come out!

In the afternoon, Park Jiho went to Lin Chenxi's store, hoping he could accompany him to buy clothes. After all, Park Jiho knew nothing about fashion. However, when he arrived at Lin Chenxi's store, he found it was very busy, and Lin Chenxi had no time at all. Park Jiho wanted to help, but Lin Chenxi refused, saying that Park Jiho was not the kind of person to do such lowly tasks. Park Jiho was a person who did great things, so he refused. This left Park Jiho speechless; his younger brother really looked up to him, but he was just a person!

Sitting in a corner of the store, Park Jiho waited for Lin Chenxi to have some free time. At this moment, his phone rang, and it was a call from Jiang Zemin!

"Jiho, how are you doing now?"

"Uncle Zemin!" Park Jiho smiled and said, "I'm doing well. I've completed all the enrollment procedures, and the school has even arranged a job and a room for me!"

"Really...!" Jiang Zemin laughed and said, "Do you have time now? Your aunt knows you've been released and is very happy. Since she hasn't met you, she wants to invite you to dinner at our house tonight. And Jiying is free today, so you can meet her and get a feel for her level to arrange her classes!"

At this point, Park Jiho finally remembered that he had promised to tutor Jiang Zemin's daughter, Jiang Jiying, once he completed his enrollment procedures. It had been two days, and Jiang Zemin was afraid Park Jiho had forgotten, so he called to remind him. Actually, the dinner was a pretext; what Jiang Zemin really wanted was for Park Jiho to assess Jiang Jiying's level!

Without hesitation, Park Jiho agreed. After all, it was something he had promised, and he had forgotten about it, which made him a bit embarrassed. He asked for Jiang Zemin's address and told Lin Chenxi, then took a taxi to Jiang Zemin's house!

..............................

After Jiang Zemin hung up the phone, the woman beside him immediately asked expectantly, "Is he coming?"

"He's coming... I said it like that, how could he not come? You're really in a hurry. A few days ago, when I told you that Jiho would help Jiying with her tutoring, you weren't willing, but now you're so eager?" Jiang Zemin said, speechless.

"My Deputy Director Jiang, I can't help it. Do you know how many points your daughter scored in this exam? She failed three subjects! With her grades, she can only dream of getting into university!" the woman said, speechless.

"But she's still young, isn't she? What's the rush? Besides, she's an entertainer and quite busy. She will naturally start studying when she's not busy," Jiang Zemin said with a smile.

"That will be too late!" The woman said, agitated, "If you hadn't spoiled her, I wouldn't have agreed to her debut. Being an entertainer is a job that relies on youth. What will she do when she's no longer young? So, studying is the most important thing. But, is the Seoul National University student you mentioned, Park Jiho, really as good as you say? A murderer who studied in prison and got into Seoul National University? It sounds like a story you're telling. And, what if he has psychological issues?"

Seeing his wife worry about Park Jiho again, Jiang Zemin said, speechless, "I've told you many times, Park Jiho killed in self-defense to protect his sister. It was ultimately due to the police's inaction, which actually harmed him. Moreover, his IQ is very high. Have you heard of the Jewish physicist Albert Einstein?"

At the mention of Einstein, Jiang Zemin's wife immediately nodded, "Yes, yes, Einstein laid the theoretical foundation for nuclear energy development and opened a new era in modern science with his profound influence and wide application. He is widely recognized as the greatest physicist since Galileo and Newton. On December 26, 1999, Einstein was named 'Person of the Century' by Time Magazine, a unique all-rounder in human history!"

After she finished, Jiang Zemin smiled slightly and said, "Einstein's IQ was 148, and according to the secret test conducted by my friend, who is also Park Jiho's mentor, Park Jiho's IQ is 150!"

"Heavens!... Impossible?" Jiang Zemin's wife was shocked.

"Impossible...? Humph!" Jiang Zemin sneered, "Wait until he comes to the house, and I'll show you his amazing abilities. Someone like you might end up worshipping him!"
