The class advisor, having finished admonishing Zhao Ling, shifted his gaze to Gu Zi.

Gu Zi met his stare with a composed expression, a slight smile playing on her lips as she said, "Please, teach me, Professor."

The advisor studied her for a moment before speaking. "Your translation is impeccable—accurate, professional, and flawless. But Gu Zi, why the deliberate show of restraint? I’ve seen your work on the Guangcheng Daily; honestly, you could have done much better with this report, couldn’t you?"

The class advisor’s expression was one of mild irritation, while Zhao Ling, standing beside her, flushed with embarrassment. She hadn’t just been outdone by Gu Zi; she had been utterly crushed. In that moment, Zhao Ling’s face burned, as though she had been slapped in front of everyone.

Gu Zi explained, her voice calm yet sincere, "Professor, you have a sharp eye, and I admit, I could have made this report better. I’m grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the university’s work. However, my situation is a bit different. I’m married, with a family and children to care for, so I can’t devote as much energy to this task as I’d like."

She paused, choosing her words carefully. "Also, to be completely honest, this task doesn’t offer me much personal growth. I believe another student would benefit more from this opportunity. They need it more than I do."

The advisor raised an eyebrow, his face now showing some displeasure. "So, you never intended to take on this job from the start, did you?"

Gu Zi answered with a steady gaze, "That’s not it, Professor. After taking on the task, I realized this opportunity could be more beneficial to someone else. I’m happy to step aside."

The advisor studied her for a moment, then nodded slowly. "Well, I can see your point. If you’ve already mastered the level of work required here, then this opportunity won’t do much for your development. Fine, I’ll find someone else. But as for Zhao Ling," he continued, turning to the girl who was still red-faced with embarrassment, "Having ambition is a good thing, but don’t let it blind you."

Zhao Ling nodded, her voice apologetic. "Professor, I understand. I’ll correct my mistakes."
