Chapter 92: Vying for Her
Tan Jinyi couldn’t help muttering, “But this is the first time I’ve seen this kind of situation where someone blocked other people’s paths to a perfect score just by writing an essay.”
“What are you talking about?” Tan Wenci smacked Tan Jinyi’s head and said, “Mo Mo is very kind so she’s feeling guilty right now. Obviously, it’s not her fault, but theirs for not being excellent enough.”
Ming Yeqing: “…”
Although he wasn’t good at liberal arts, he still felt ruthlessly dissed.
They should be more merciful.
At this moment, Wei Zhiqian’s phone rang.
Wei Zhiqian took out his phone and said, “It’s the princ.i.p.al of Beijing University.”
n.o.body thought much about it.
After all, as the future head of the Wei family, Wei Zhiqian having contact with the princ.i.p.al of Beijing University wasn’t surprising.
Wei Zhiqian had already guessed why the princ.i.p.al was looking for him for at this time.
“Princ.i.p.al Mu.” Wei Zhiqian answered the phone.
“Zhiqian, I just learned that this year’s highest scoring liberal arts major, Tan Mo, is a student of Jixia Academy, so she is one of your undercla.s.smen,” Princ.i.p.al Mu said, chuckling.
Even though Tan Mo was sitting by his side, as soon as someone mentioned Tan Mo’s name, the corners of Wei Zhiqian’s mouth would rise. “Yes.”
“Do you know her? Can you convince her to come to Beijing University?” Princ.i.p.al Mu asked immediately. “Hua University is also looking for her, but they don’t know which school she is from. Hua University mistakenly believes that all the students from Jixia Academy have applied to foreign universities, so it focuses on prestigious schools in City B with a high rate of enrollment. But I still have my sights on Jixia Academy. You were able to come to Beijing University, so no doubt there will be more students from Jixia Academy. Therefore, I asked about her at Jixia Academy, but I didn’t expect to really hit the jackpot.
Wei Zhiqian turned and smiled at Tan Mo. Tan Mo was very puzzled.
“Coincidentally, I don’t just know her, but she is even now sitting by my side.” Wei Zhiqian smiled and said, “Would you like to talk to her personally?”
“Of course.” Princ.i.p.al Mu nodded hurriedly and was very excited.
His luck was too good!
“It’s President Mu of Beijing University.” Wei Zhiqian handed the phone to Tan Mo and said, “He wants you to enroll in Beijing University.”
Tan Mo felt a.s.sured and took Wei Zhiqian’s phone. “President Mu, h.e.l.lo, I’m Tan Mo.”
“Tan Mo, h.e.l.lo, h.e.l.lo.” Princ.i.p.al Mu tried very hard to make his voice sound more kind, but he didn’t expect it to backfire because he was trying too hard. Instead, he sounded shady.
“First of all, congratulations for getting a perfect score on the college entrance examination. I also read your essay, and it’s very good. Even our old professors at Beijing University are full of praise.” President Mu continued, “What’s more rare is that you’re only 15 years old. Even saying you’re a genius wouldn’t be an exaggeration.”
“You are too flattering,” Tan Mo said sweetly. “I’m still young, so I shouldn’t accept such heavy praise.”
“The more you say this, the more you deserve it,” Princ.i.p.al Mu said with a smile. “I wonder what your school choices are? You didn’t apply to foreign schools, did you?” Princ.i.p.al Mu asked.
“No,” Tan Mo replied in a well-mannered way. “Top universities in China aren’t inferior to those in foreign countries, so why should I go so far away?”
“That’s true.” Princ.i.p.al Mu was getting an even better impression of her, and he said, “Now the younger generation’s way of thinking has changed, and you all are no longer blindly obsessed with foreign countries and are beginning to have confidence in our country. This is very good. In the future, our country will get better and better.
“So, what are your school choices? If you don’t go abroad, would you consider Beijing University?” President Mu was afraid that Tan Mo would feel that he was not sincere enough. “If you come to Beijing University, you will get a full scholars.h.i.+p for four years. Of course, with your abilities, if you skip grades and go directly to graduate school before completing four years of undergraduate study, the scholars.h.i.+p money will still be given. No matter what request you ask, just say it. and I will try my best to satisfy your needs as much as possible.”
As Tan Mo was about to reply, she saw Wei Zhiqian winking at her.
If she doesn’t agree too quickly, she can still ask for more benefits.
Tan Mo said, “Actually, I haven’t figured out what my first choice is yet. I have to discuss this with my parents. I have to think about what I want to learn and what I want to do in the future. I can’t decide right now. I’m really sorry. I hope you can give me more time to think about it.”
“Of course.” President Mu was very anxious, but he said, “I fully respect your decision, but I also want you to know my sincerity. Moreover, Beijing University’s Liberal Arts College is No. 1 in China. Your essay, whether in terms of cla.s.sical Chinese or history, is excellent. No matter which major you want to choose, Beijing University will be very suitable for you.”
Although Tan Mo was definitely going to Beijing University, she didn’t plan to study these two majors.
“I know, thank you for telling me this. I will definitely consider it.”.
As soon as Tan Mo finished talking, Wei Zhiqian took the phone back. “Princ.i.p.al Mu, don’t put too much pressure on her. Just give her time to think about it.”
“Oh, it seems you are very close to her.” Princ.i.p.al Mu knew a little bit about Wei Zhiqian. When has Wei Zhiqian ever protected anyone like this?
“All right, I won’t put pressure on her, but even if I don’t pressure her, she will have to fill out the form in a few days, and she must make a choice.” Princ.i.p.al Mu said, “You have to help me keep an eye on the matter. It’s fine for Hua University to find it out by themselves, but don’t have Jixia Academy take the initiative to disclose information about her to Hua University.”
“Okay.” Wei Zhiqian nodded.
“Also, if Hua University finds Tan Mo and gives her a tempting offer, you tell Tan Mo that no matter what Hua University offers her, Beijing University will definitely offer much more!” Princ.i.p.al Mu was going all out.
Wei Zhiqian glanced at Tan Mo with a smile, then said, “You want her to enter Beijing University that much?”
“Of course, she is a 15-year-old highest-scorer on the college entrance examination with a perfect score on the college entrance examination’s essay. This has never before been seen. If I let such a talent slip away, I don’t deserve to be the princ.i.p.al of Beijing University.”
What was even worse was that if Tan Mo went to Hua University, he would be severely dissed any time he saw Princ.i.p.al s.h.i.+ of Hua.
“Okay, then I will keep an eye on the matter and try to persuade her,” Wei Zhiqian said pretentiously, “You don’t know, but although Tan Mo chose the liberal arts exam, she is actually very knowledgeable about science as well.”
She was just lazy. For liberal arts, she only needed to remembers things, but for mathematics and science, she needs to do calculations.
