Chapter 127: Destined Only to Be Crushed by Me
Originally, it seemed this matter would quietly pass, but by evening, foreign media suddenly broke a sensational story.
“A genius physicist from China is poised to join the faculty team at H University in the United States.”
Below were the formulas published online by Yun Fu and the verification results from various scholars. Between the lines, there was a clear endorsement of the physicist, yet it carried an unmistakable air of condescension.
H University was not only America’s top institution but one of the highest regarded worldwide. When the news broke, clueless netizens reacted: “Wow, straight to professorship—knowledge truly changes destiny.”
“I can feel the disparity in this world; how can the difference between people be so vast!”
“We all have brains, yet others are fast-tracked to professorship, while I’m still stressing over the English proficiency test.”
Of course, there were those who understood the deeper implications.
“Those Americans really... I don’t even want to say. They act as if we should be eternally grateful just because they want our physicist. What nerve!”
“Sigh. Our technological strength truly can’t compare. Over the years, so many promising talents have been poached overseas.”
“Can’t help it. Not everyone can survive on dreams alone. The world is harshly pragmatic.”
Moreover, a Chinese-American scientist openly welcomed their compatriot to join H University’s team, calling it a great place.
The tone throughout was thick with superiority.
Yun Fu stared at the online news, the warmth in her eyes gradually cooling.
Hmph. Little did they know she had already joined H University—and held them in high regard.
She picked up her phone and sent a message to Chen Qun.
“Are they all still there?”
Chen Qun replied almost instantly, “Miss Yun, you mean those scholars? Yes, yes, they’re all still here. Why?”
Upon reading Yun Fu’s message, Chen Qun’s heart sank halfway. He sensed she was about to return with them.
Another talent lost from their homeland.
At that moment, he hadn’t realized Yun Fu was an actress.
“Tomorrow at 9 a.m., I’m heading to Huaqing University.”
After sending the message, Yun Fu set the phone down and went to sleep.
She was unaware that Chen Qun and Principal Luo spent the night in restless contemplation, while a group of foreign scholars who understood the situation were jubilant.

The next day at Huaqing University, Yun Fu could hear a voice from afar, brimming with pride and speaking loudly.
“Principal Luo, when that scholar joins us, we’ll owe you a great debt of gratitude.”
“Yes, indeed. But it’s good that your physicist is coming with us. After all, your school...”
Yun Fu caught sight of Chen Qun’s face darkening beside her.
She tugged the corner of her mouth into a small smile. The corridor breeze lifted stray strands of hair across her sharp profile, adding to the chill in her expression.
She strode forward, exuding a commanding, defiant aura.
Chen Qun followed silently, nodding in admiration: The great one truly lives up to the title—the aura is simply unparalleled.
The office door swung open.
Everyone’s eyes turned to a stunning young woman entering the room.
The foreign scholars initially assumed she was a student and prepared to ask her to leave, but then Principal Luo stood.
“Miss Yun, please sit.”
He introduced Yun Fu to all present.
They stared dumbfounded at the girl—no older than eighteen or nineteen, dressed in a sporty high ponytail, strikingly beautiful, holding a baseball cap.
There was a hint of rebelliousness about her, and her gaze swept over them without the slightest flicker of emotion.
This was the genius scientist who single-handedly advanced the physics field? So young? A woman?
The first to react was the head of H University. Smiling, he approached.
“Lovely lady, I’m Professor Cruz of H University’s Physics Department. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
Yun Fu glanced at him, said nothing, brushed past his shoulder, and sat down next to Principal Luo.
She crossed one leg over the other, posture relaxed yet arrogant.
A true powerhouse.
Professor Cruz’s expression soured. He was used to respect and had not expected such a cold reception.
“Miss Yun, right? We came specifically to invite you to join several of our schools. We offer the finest laboratory equipment and the best research environment... Everything Huaqing University can’t provide, we can. You know, we rarely meet people in person.”
Every sentence implied one thing—they were doing her a favor, and she should be grateful.
Cruz expected Yun Fu to respond with humble thanks but instead heard a cold laugh.

She lifted her head.
The girl had uncrossed her legs; her gaze turned piercing, instantly commanding the room.
“Do you think Huaqing University is beneath you?” Her English was flawless with a British accent, betraying no foreignness.
Professor Cruz snapped back to attention at her impeccable language and sneered, “Of course. I guarantee your country won’t surpass us in a hundred years!”
Indeed, a quintessentially arrogant American.
Principal Luo’s expression shifted. Just as he opened his mouth to speak, Yun Fu moved.
Her stance unchanged, her eyes sharpened further.
“A hundred years? Ha. In a hundred years, who knows if your country will even exist. Who gave you the gall to say that? Get out of here. China will prove with strength that we don’t need a rival that refuses to progress.”
Chen Qun nearly applauded her.
The foreign scholars’ faces darkened instantly, especially Cruz’s.
“Over you?” His contempt was blatant. “You pigs think you can surpass us? Dream on!”
Several professors from Huaqing stood up. The atmosphere froze.
Yun Fu, however, acted as if nothing had happened. She slowly rose and asked Principal Luo, “Principal Luo, does Huaqing still need professors? What do you think of me?”
How could he refuse? This was a blessing, a welcome surprise.
Principal Luo nodded repeatedly. “Miss Yun Fu, we will appoint you as a lifetime honorary professor. No lectures required, but occasional guidance would be welcome.”
Yun Fu clapped her hands softly, her eyes bright as stars yet deep with meaning.
Facing those towering foreign men, she spoke slowly and clearly:
“Now that Huaqing has me, you must understand—you will only ever be beneath my feet.”
Arrogant, domineering, and utterly commanding.
She stood there, slender yet brimming with immense power, leaving her challengers speechless.
