Chapter 101 - A Bountiful Reward Package
Chapter 101: A Bountiful Reward Package
Director Jiang: “…”
He felt inferior so he didn’t speak.
He cursed President Zhu 100 times under his breath.
Even President Shi from Hua University had come here in person, so why had President Zhu put on airs?
President Shi simply ignored the other three Presidents’ fussing and said to Tan Mo, “You don’t need to rush to give me an answer. Go back and look at the rewards we are offering. If you have any requests that are not included, just mention them. Everything is negotiable.”
Yuan Keqing’s lips paled. How many points did Tan Mo get on the exam for President Shi from Hua University to come to see her in person?
Or was it really just because Tan Mo is young and her grades are decent?
Wei Keli felt as if he couldn’t breathe anymore.
Although his first choice was Beijing University, the admission scores of Hua University and Beijing University were similar.
If he couldn’t be admitted to Beijing University, then he couldn’t be admitted to Hua University either.
It had taken him a year to repeat his studies before being able to reach the base admission score of Beijing University.
Yet Tan Mo had actually made President Shi from Hua University come to find her personally, and, if she was willing to go, she could make any demands she wanted.
“No need to discuss anything anymore.” President Mu of Beijing University strode forward, leaving Principal Qi and Vice Principal Jiao of Jixia Academy behind. This showed how impatient he was.
President Mu hurried over and stood in front of Tan Mo. Before he could even catch his breath, he said, “Tan Mo, hello, I am the President of Beijing University. My surname is Mu, and we’ve talked to each other on the phone previously.”
Principal Shi suddenly felt a sense of crisis when he heard this.
The old rascal had actually contacted her in advance.
“President Mu, hello.” Tan Mo felt that her most spoken phrase today was President, hello.
“Tan Mo, although I haven’t seen the conditions in this envelope, I can promise you that no matter what conditions Hua University has offered you, I can give you the same, and even more on top of it,” President Mu said very confidently.
“And I still stand by what I told you on the phone previously. In addition, not only all the expenses of your four-year undergraduate course will be covered, but if you decide to get your master’s degree and your doctorate at Beijing University, all your expenses during your enrollment will be waived.”
President Mu was being very bold.
He believed that since Tan Mo got a perfect score on the college entrance examination at the age of 15, especially with such a profound understanding of classical Chinese, she definitely couldn’t be mediocre in the future.
Now that they have already put forward such generous rewards, there was no need to be stingy.
They should go all out with the reward package.
Beijing University can afford it.
All the classmates who had been looking on this scene couldn’t help but suck in their breaths.
Was President Mu that confident in Tan Mo?
…to the extent that he was already considering her doctoral degree?
“Don’t listen to all their empty and sweeping promises. The specific promises I gave you are concrete and sincere.” President Mu began to throw them under the bus. “They are saying good things now, but things will be different after you enroll. Yet I am different. My promises to you are specific.”
President Shi became furious and said, “The science college entrance examination’s highest scorer, Ming Yeqing, has already chosen Beijing University. Yet you want both the liberal arts top scorer and the science top scorer? Aren’t you being too greedy?”
President Shi was becoming really anxious.
If people discovered that both the liberal arts top scorer and the science top scorer had enrolled in Beijing University, wouldn’t Hua University lose face?
Wei Keli and Yuan Keqing looked at Tan Mo together.
What does President Shi mean?
Ming Yeqing was the science college entrance examination’s highest scorer.
Since he said “both the liberal arts top scorer and the science top scorer”, does that mean that Tan Mo was the liberal arts top scorer?
But there was only one liberal arts top scorer, and that scorer got a perfect score!
The meaning of President Shi’s words was very clear, but Wei Keli and Yuan Keqing were unwilling to accept this reality.
“So what? As if anyone would think their school has too many top scorers…” President Mu’s answer completely verified their guesses.
Wei Keli’s face got extremely pale, and, in disbelief, he suddenly turned to look at Tan Mo.
Tan Mo was really the liberal arts top scorer who had gotten a perfect score?
“This is because the director of our school is capable enough to have a 15-year-old son who is the science college entrance examination’s highest scorer. If you have that ability, let your school’s directors have such a promising child as well and be admitted to Hua University. That way, Beijing University wouldn’t be able to snatch away talent even if we wanted to.” Principal Mu actually started to tease President Shi.
President Shi was so angry that he couldn’t say anything for a long time.
After having tempted her with bountiful rewards, President Mu started playing the emotional card with Tan Mo. “Tan Mo, I heard that Yeqing is a good friend of yours. If you come to Beijing University, you can continue to be classmates with Ming Yeqing, and you two are young. After you enroll in Beijing University, I’m afraid that you will have an age gap with college students in their 20s, and you may not be able to get along with them. If you become too lonely, you might become depressed.
“Things will be different if both you and Ming Yeqing are in Beijing University. You two can stay near each other and you won’t be alone. Moreover, Zhiqian will also be there. I know that you two have a good relationship since you even call him Little Uncle. When you go to Beijing University, Zhiqian can take care of you, and you can be at ease.”
Everyone: “…”
Why does the dignified President of Beijing University seem a little like someone trying to swindle a child right now?
Director Jiang: “…”
President Zhu, look. President Mu of Beijing University not only came in person to snatch talent, but is always willing to be thick-skinned to achieve his goal.
Serves you right to lose talent. Hee, hee!
Tan Mo pretended to think about it for a short while. Then she returned the envelope that Principal Shi had just handed her. “President Shi, I have decided to go to Beijing University.”
“You won’t look at the reward offers inside?” President Shi made a last-ditch effort.
“No thank you. How about you show it to President Mu?” Tan Mo blinked mischievously and said, “You can take the opportunity to add a few more offers to make Beijing University spend more money.”
“Ha, ha, ha, ha!” President Shi was really amused by Tan Mo. She was funny. She was good at studying, but her character was not defined only by books. President Shi felt even more regretful. Why hadn’t this kid chosen Hua University?
“Okay, then I’ll add a few more conditions, which can be considered as a gift for you.” President Shi took the envelope. President Mu snatched away his favorite student, so why can’t he screw him over a little?
President Mu didn’t care and took out a document. “Come take a look. If there are no problems, can you sign it?”
Fearing that things might change later, President Mu wanted to settle this on the spot.
Director Jiang: “…”
President Zhu, look, President Mu has everything ready.
Yet you are sitting in a double-sized office with air-conditioning.
You deserve to lose talent!
Tan Mo didn’t even read the document, but handed it to Wei Zhiqian. “Little Uncle, help me check it. If there are no problems, I will sign it.”
Wei Zhiqian was very flattered by Tan Mo’s trust in him.
After reading it, he handed it to Tan Mo. “There are no problems, so you can sign it.”
After Wei Zhiqian had said that it was okay, Tan Mo didn’t even look at it before she signed her name swiftly and handed it back to President Mu.
President Mu held the document and said, “Then I won’t stay any longer. I will go back and arrange everything for you. Just wait for the admission notice!”
