"Is the Math department coming along as well? Why didn't we know about this?" asked Wen Ping quizzically.
He was not alone. Li Chenhui and Ying Qi were equally puzzled.
Wu Yue looked at Wen Ping in surprise. "What do you mean you didn't know? Didn't Prof Rong tell you?"
Wen Ping shook his head quietly. A few seconds later, he finally said, "Prof Rong simply told us to prepare for the conference."
Wu Yue went speechless.
"This is such an important matter. Why didn't Prof Rong mention anything to you?" Wu Yue's face cracked as he spoke.
"He really didn't," replied Wen Ping sheepishly.
In reality, Prof Rong usually just gave them challenging problems to solve every now and then. He hardly showed his face otherwise.
He did not tell them that the Math department was sending representatives as well. However, he probably simply forgot about it and did not intentionally hide the fact from them.
