Chapter 100: Looking Down on Tan Mo

President Wen laughed and said, “I’m here for the same reason as you are.”

President Liu: “…”

President Hao had always said that he was an old hooligan, but in his eyes, President Wen was the true hooligan.

“Tan Mo, hello, let me introduce myself formally. I am the principal of Jiang University and my surname is Wen.” Before Director Yin could speak, President Wen took the initiative.

“What the heck is going on? Could it be that President Wen came to speak to Tan Mo too?”

“Obviously, why else would he talk to Tan Mo as soon as he arrived?”

“I’m starting to wonder how many points Tan Mo scored now.”

“Could the top scorer on the college entrance examination be Tan Mo?”

“Impossible. She is only 15 years old. Skipping grades is already as much as she could accomplish. It’s completely unrealistic to imagine that she got a perfect score on the college entrance examination as well. And, didn’t you listen to what they were saying just now? Tan Mo’s exam score was unsatisfactory this time.”

“If her exam score was so unsatisfactory, why are the presidents of the top six universities in the country fighting over her?”

That was true. They were fighting over her.

They must be really stupid if they still couldn’t figure out what was going on by now.

If they still hadn’t realized, they should be ashamed to say that they were students of Jixia Academy.

“Her standards are probably much higher than ours. Besides, even if the score wasn’t that high, it can’t be bad. Plus, she is only 15 years old, so she is definitely near genius level. Just from her age alone, she is indeed worthy of the presidents fighting over her…right?”

Amid the hushed discussions of the onlooking students, President Wen said, “Although Jiang University’s ranking isn’t as high as those of Beijing University and Hua University, it is still ranked fourth. In fact, there isn’t that much of a difference between these schools. When ranking the top five universities, the differences in between them are negligible.”

President of Tong University: “…”

Isn’t their school in sixth place?

Why only mention the top five?

How sly of him.

He discreetly eliminated Tong University.

President Liu of Nan University glanced at President Hao in a smug manner.

What did he say?

Sixth place wasn’t up to standards…?

“If you come to Jiang University, in addition to the exemption of tuition fees and full scholarships promised by the other two universities, if there are any research projects that you need funding for, you won’t need to go through any procedures. You can come directly to me, and I will personally approve the funding.” President Wen threw President Liu under the bus on the spot. “Saying that your application will get priority is just swindling you.”

Principal Liu: “…”

This time, it was President Hao’s turn to look at President Liu smugly.

Look, you old hooligan, you can’t escape being dissed either.

All the students: “…”

It was the first time they had seen such a side of the principals of prestigious universities.

They seemed so petty, and even a little…shameless.

“Tan Mo.” Director Wu of the Disciplinary Department suddenly walked up with another person.

Director Wu of the General Disciplinary Department usually wouldn’t be involved in any reception work. It was just that without the other directors, she was the only one left.

The man brought over by Director Wu looked much younger, less than 40 years old.

“Which university’s president is this?”

“He doesn’t look like a university’s president.”

“Director Wu has never been responsible for receiving people. There were probably no other people so she came to help. He’s probably not a big shot.”

“This is Director Jiang from the Admissions Office of Shuang University.” Perhaps Director Wu wasn’t satisfied that Shuang University had only sent a director from the Admissions Office, because her introduction wasn’t very enthusiastic.

For Tong University, Nan University, and Jiang University, the Presidents came here in person.

What’s with Shuang University?

Are they looking down on Tan Mo?

Director Jiang was sweating. His principal probably hadn’t expected that these three principals would come in person to compete for Tan Mo.

This made him feel a lot of pressure because now it seemed as if they didn’t value Tan Mo as much as they should have.

Director Jiang also lamented how their university’s president really didn’t prioritize the matter that much. He’d thought that sending him would be enough. Unexpectedly, the other universities were much more sincere.

Seeing this situation, Director Jiang felt that today’s task would be difficult to carry out.

“Tan Mo,” Director Jiang said with a smile, “I’m here on behalf of Shuang University.”

Director Jiang felt embarrassed.

All the other universities’ principals had come in person, so what was up with his university?

Even if conditions were offered, he has no right to decide exactly what to give her. Whatever he says won’t sound as good as what these principals can offer, because they have the right to make the decisions.

“Originally, President Zhu was going to come in person, but he has a very important meeting today. It’s really…”

“Who doesn’t have important meetings to hold? As if he’s the only one who’s busy?” How could Director Jiang’s excuses work with President Liu?

“I also had an important meeting. I specially postponed the meeting,” President Liu said.

“Me too,” President Hao said quickly.

“Who didn’t?” President Wen followed quickly behind them.

Director Jiang: “…”

In his mind, he was cursing President Zhu about 100 times.

Director Jiang, acting as if he didn’t hear the words of the three principals, said to Tan Mo, “Before I came, President Zhu solemnly instructed me to bring his sincere wishes.”

“He himself didn’t even come, so how can he even mention sincerity?” This wasn’t said by any of the three principals standing around.

Turning their heads, they saw that Vice President Yue of Jixia Academy was walking over with a middle-aged man who looked very solemn.

The faces of President Wen and the others darkened when they saw him.

Director Jiang even whispered, “It’s over, there’s no hope at all.”

“Tan Mo,” Vice Principal Yue walked over with a smile and said, “this is Principal Shi of Hua University.”

After he said this, all the students were completely shocked.

Yuan Keqing, Qin Muxiao, and Wei Keli were all dumbfounded. Their mouths were agape and their eyes were wide.

Principal Shi of Hua University had actually come here in person.

Hua University was the top university in the country.

Hua University was evenly matched with Beijing University, and every year they fought for the position of the top-ranking university in the country.

He had also…also come for Tan Mo?

“President Shi, hello.” Tan Mo greeted him in a well-behaved manner.

“Hello.” Tan Mo was well-behaved and very beautiful as well. His first impression of her was very good, and he said, “My daughter is about the same age as you. You are very personable.”

When President Wen and the others heard this, they were angered by his shamelessness.

Was he going to play the family card?

“I won’t beat around the bush. Are you interested in Hua University?” President Shi smiled and said, “I had a meeting yesterday, and we negotiated various reward conditions. As long as you are willing to come to Hua University, I’ll give you everything written on this.”

President Shi gave an envelope to Tan Mo. The conditions were in the envelope that was sealed tightly.

Everyone: “…”

This cunning and shameless old man…

“Old Shi, that sounds too unreliable. Discuss the reward conditions directly in front of us. We all did so out in the open,” President Hao said.

The moment he saw President Shi of Hua University, he knew that he had no chance, but he still had to give President Shi a hard time in a last-ditch effort.

“I agree. Keeping it a secret makes things boring,” President Liu also complained.
