Ruth had always been proud of her academic qualifications.
After all, there were very few highly-educated people with Master’s degrees like her.
People like them were considered scarce talents.
That was why she had suddenly put Nora down with academic qualifications when she spotted her
right after they came out of the conference room.
Because it seemed that apart from her academic qualifications, there was nothing about her that
could compare with Nora! However, she was currently staring at Nora’s personal information on the
screen in astonishment.
It clearly read: Education: Doctorate All education after a Bachelor’s graduation was postgraduate,
so postgraduate degrees were the highest level of degree that one could achieve.
In that respect, Nora’s academic qualifications were the same as Ruth’s.
However, Ruth’s was a Master’s degree whereas Nora’s was: Degree: PhD Ph.D….
This was the highest level of degree achievable! Was there anything beyond that? Of course there
was! There were postdocs and academicians, but those were just occupational titles.
In addition, there were many people who couldn’t become postdoctoral researchers or
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtacademicians even after spending all of their lives trying.
Yet it was stated in Nora’s file that she was an academician at an international medical university
when she was living abroad.
It was to the extent that Ruth was even wondering if her eyes were playing tricks on her.
Did 25-year-old academicians even exist?! She rubbed her eyes and looked over again—only to
see that the word “academician” was still clearly stated there.
In addition, there were also corresponding certificates proving that all of this was real.
Johnson was dumbfounded.
Ruth also shut up.
Only Damon, the insensitive fellow, was silly enough to say, “Oh my god, I finally understand why
Captain Ford said that we would just be humiliating ourselves if we compare our academic
qualifications with Ms.Smith’s! B-but what’s going on here, though? Didn’t they say that Ms.Smith
has never been to school? Yet she’s actually an academician?!”
Someone nearby swallowed audibly and said, “An academician…! I’ve actually seen a living,
breathing academician! No wonder Ms.Smith is so cocky! If my academic qualifications were like
hers, I would be even cockier than her, alright? She’s so cool!”
“Where did Captain Ford find someone as talented as her? Her working ability aside, just her
academic qualifications alone are already the first of its kind in the special department! Ms.Smith
makes us so proud!”
No matter in what industry and no matter who it was, one would always possess the most basic
level of awe in the face of knowledge.
People who managed to enter prestigious universities were already very impressive, and geniuses
—even if they were down and out—would never be ridiculed, either.
Furthermore, given Nora’s academic qualifications and certificates…one couldn’t even call her a
mere genius anymore, right?!
“I’m actually working with an academician every day! Gosh, I suddenly feel so honored”
“Me too…I feel like I’m about to float…Captain Ford is so awesome.To think he could actually get
such a talent to join the special department…”
While everyone was talking about it, Johnson hurriedly turned off his cell phone.He felt like his
cheeks were stinging.He had recruited Ruth while…

Morris had recruited Nora.
All this time, he had been trying to use the reason that Ruth was better than Nora to weaken Morris’
momentum, but little did he think that he would actually lose all of the few consecutive rounds of
competition! This especially stood out when he looked at the group of subordinates here.
It was obvious that they now admired Morris even more.
He had totally shot himself in the foot! Ruth clenched her fists tightly.
She felt like even the glory that Black Cat had brought her just now had all been snatched away.
If she hadn’t mentioned anything about academic qualifications, everyone would probably still be
gathered all around her and dying to know more about Black Cat’s proposal.
However, it was obvious that their focus wasn’t on her anymore.
Ruth coughed, planning to change the subject.
She asked, “Would you guys like to take a look at the proposal that Black Cat and I have discussed
and jointly drawn up?”
As soon as she said that, Damon said perfunctorily, “I can’t read it anyway, so I’ll just wait until
you’re done translating it…
Speaking of academicians, though! It’s really hard to become one.
