Reborn as a National Treasure Scientist

Xie Qishu had an older sister and a younger brother, and her life was stifling. Then, on her thirty-fifth birthday, she was reborn. She returned to twenty years earlier, just as she was about to follow her parents’ advice and write down the name of the closest, and worst, high school in the county as the place where she would study for the next three years. Xie Qishu stared at the deathly pale school application form. Her left ear heard, "It’s close to home, so you can come back to live here. We can take care of you." Her right ear heard, "You won’t get into any of the other high schools, so pick a safe option." She thought it over, then picked up her pen amid her parents’ urging and wrote down the name of the best high school in the city. Given another life, she would live for herself. * In her previous life, Xie Qishu was used to giving and to getting nowhere. Given another life, she set herself two goals. First: study hard and enrich herself. Second: earn plenty of money and support herself. To achieve her first goal, she studied day and night and became the youngest academician in the National Academy of Sciences. To achieve her second goal, she worked around the clock and led her company to become a leader in the electronics industry. So... The first step toward her first goal was getting into high school. The first step toward her second goal was getting her first big break. And so, starting in high school, she won prize after prize, filling her room with certificates and medals. And after joining the Academy of Sciences and founding a company, she worked on electronics and chips, contributing to her country’s development while her country supported her work.
