Before coming to Yanhua University, Qiu Chengwen had figured that he might not succeed, because genius like Zhao Yi is not someone you can easily poach. Talented people often have their own thoughts and posses strong decision-making ability, and are typically full of self-confidence.
When they make certain decisions, it's almost impossible for others to convince them otherwise, even if they were proven wrong, they'll even continue to insist on their own opinion until they are proven to be one hundred percent wrong.
In simpler terms, they are stubborn.
All geniuses are stubborn. They firmly believe that their judgment and cognition are correct.
Stubbornness may sound like a negative trait, but in reality, it's just a description of one's character.
