The Omniscient

Chapter 35: Impersonation

The recommendation letter from Lü Qinggong? Huang Ji had written it himself. Mimicking Lü’s tone and style, he logged into Lü’s personal email account from an internet café and sent two recommendation emails. With carefully timed actions and psychological precision, he successfully orchestrated a direct interview with Dean Hong.

The outcome of the interview didn’t matter much; Huang Ji had no intention of actually taking the job. What he wanted was the opportunity to converse with Dean Hong for two hours, leveraging his solid knowledge base. His efforts paid off when Hong personally made two calls, paving the way for Huang Ji to meet other professors.

Huang Ji’s chain of “fraudulent” encounters had begun.

Thanks to Hong’s recommendation, Huang Ji approached Professor Lin Tao with just a simple introduction:

“Professor Lin, hello. I’m Hua Xu. Dean Hong asked me to find you.”

This single sentence granted Huang Ji access to Tongji University’s Endocrinology and Metabolism Research Lab, where he engaged in meaningful discussions with Lin and a group of doctoral students and professors. This time, he no longer pretended to stutter; instead, he spoke fluently and confidently, leaving Lin deeply impressed.

By the time Huang Ji left, Lin had already treated him as a priority student, instructing him to take Tongji University’s part-time postgraduate entrance exam in October. Lin was so confident in Huang Ji’s abilities that he gave him free rein to visit the research lab anytime, to seek guidance and collaborate.

This access opened a world of possibilities. With his newfound identity, Huang Ji could freely approach anyone in the lab, including top-level professors, at any time. Unlike before, when he had to spend hours with each individual, he now only needed to spend 30 minutes each morning and afternoon near them. After two or three days, even the most accomplished professors couldn’t hide their expertise from his Information Sense.
