Chapter 1 Although There Was Thinking

Although he had been thinking, Zhuang Xin agreed quite decisively.

And this made Chen Yuan very satisfied.

Young people dislike mutually probing negotiations the most.

We do things with a sincere heart to exchange for another sincere heart.

"Thank you." Chen Yuan took the initiative to stand up and extend his hand.

"Well, welcome student Chen Yuan and student Xia Xinyu to our school." Zhuang Xin also extended his hand and shook hands with Chen Yuan.

The cooperation was thus reached.

Even before the dishes were served.

At this moment, Chen Yuan suddenly thought of something, and then quickly said, "Why don't we wait for Shi Yi and Cheng Xi to come before ordering? Let's eat together."

Hearing this, Zhuang Xin's eyes lit up.

Sure enough, as long as his side didn't dawdle, Chen Yuan would also offer help.

If he had hesitated even a little just now, this kid would probably have started privately telling them, "Don't come to this school, it's really not good!"

Fortunately, the leadership gave him sufficient authority to do this well.

It has always been quite difficult to make exceptions for admissions because it is a top university in the country, watched by many eyes, and everything must have a reason.

Unless someone is particularly outstanding in certain areas and becomes a leading talent in their age group, they will have this opportunity.

Otherwise, even lowering the admission score is unrealistic.

In the past, some top scorers had overly high expectations, demanding that they bring their girlfriends to university.

However, their girlfriends' grades were far from sufficient, so this matter did not come to fruition.

It must be said that girls are better in this regard.

There has never been a case of a girl wanting to bring her boyfriend to university.

Girls are more respectful of the rules.

"Is that okay?" Zhuang Xin said with some reserve, "Aren't you hungry?"

"I'm fine, let's wait for everyone to come together," Chen Yuan said with a smile.

"Then contact them now, and we'll pick them up?" Zhuang Xin said.

"Yeah, okay."

Chen Yuan was actually quite reserved about the idea of them picking him up. But he valued his friends' reputations, even if they didn't say so.

"Then I'll tell them first." At this time, Chen Yuan suggested leaving because he needed to make a phone call.

"I'll go to the restroom too." Xia Xinyu knew it wasn't good to be alone with these teachers, so she avoided suspicion and went out with him.

After the two left, Zhuang Xin unreservedly clenched his fist, revealing his joy.

"Good heavens, if the Xiahai top scorer, runner-up, and third-place all apply to your school, how much bonus money will you get this year!" Director Zhang asked, looking at the delighted man with surprise.

"Don't talk about money when it comes to admissions. It's all about fate, talk about fate," Zhuang Xin raised his hand, responding with a smile.

If the Xiahai Three Heroes... no, Four Heroes were all recruited by him alone, then his work would be completed perfectly.

It could be said that the entire Haidong recruitment relied on his efforts alone.

Moreover, he also heard that Bai Mingze was also their friend.

Did that mean he could take them all?

This year's student source would directly crush the neighboring school!

"Alright, I'll pick them up later," Director Zhang said.

"Okay, thank you, I still need to accompany the top scorer here," Zhuang Xin said.

"No trouble at all, it's a small matter. If you succeed, just send me a case of good wine."

"Ah? Isn't the usual gift a case of milk?"

"You're really sending milk?" Director Zhang immediately refused, "I don't drink milk!"

………

Liu Chengxi: It just so happens that I don't really want to eat alone with the admissions office teachers either.

Shen Yating: Aren't I going too?

Liu Chengxi: Then it's a double-solo...

Shi Yi: It's good to meet together, but what should we talk about?

Chen Yuan: Everyone should apply to whichever school they want, don't be influenced, and stick to your own judgment.

Chen Yuan: I just feel awkward eating alone with him.

Shi Yi: Okay, we'll be there soon.

Chen Yuan: They're driving to pick you up, just wait at home.

Shen Yating: Wow, that's quite respectful.

Chen Yuan: It's usually like this, right? By the way, does your subdistrict office have any rewards?

Shen Yating: I heard there are, you can get the maximum of 20,000...

Liu Chengxi: My middle school contacted me too, offering a 5,000 yuan reward, but they want me to go back and give a speech...

Liu Chengxi: I don't know how they found out about the scores, it's kind of weird.

Shen Yating: After all, you're the district top scorer, they definitely want to蹭 (cèng - freeload, take advantage of) the popularity.

Shen Yating: What about Shi Yi's side?

Shi Yi: As the district runner-up, it seems similar on my end...

Shen Yating: Ah, sorry, I didn't mean it that way.

Liu Chengxi: The most exaggerated district runner-up in history.

Shi Yi: It's okay, I'm really fine.

Shi Yi: Can I bring Wen Xin along? She also wants to hang out with you guys.

Chen Yuan @Shi Yi: By the way, how did your sister-in-law do on the exam?

Shi Yi: She did okay this time...

Chen Yuan: How far off is she from the 柚子 (yòuzi - pomelo) line?

Shi Yi: About 170 points.

Chen Yuan: Ah… your sister-in-law is awesome.

Shen Yating: Does that mean Xinyu can also go to Huaqing University? After all, the score difference isn't that big.

Chen Yuan: Yeah, that's also a condition I requested.

Shen Yating: Then Shi Yi's sister-in-law's side is probably hopeless.

Shi Yi: Of course, she's already worked very hard. But there are always things people can't do, we didn't think about that kind of thing.

Chen Yuan: But other things can still be discussed.

Liu Chengxi: But what conditions can we negotiate?

Shen Yating: It seems like there's nothing we need.

Shen Yating: Can they give us a million?

Liu Chengxi: What do you need so much money for?

Shen Yating: This question is really emmm...

Shi Yi: Actually, I do have a request.

………

At the table, when Zhuang Xin saw Wu Wenxin for the first time, he nervously and secretly checked her score.

Good heavens, 518!

No, are they trying to get her into our Huaqing University with this score?

This is really not going to work, guys!

Fortunately, this girl was just here to hang out, and the kids chatted very happily, like the best of friends. Once there were more people, they completely let go and didn't pay any attention to the two teachers and leaders.

Indeed, since ancient times, academic elites have always had a lot of prestige.

Especially players of this level, not to mention, they are naturally rich and noble, and they don't have to be timid in any situation.

And the people who grow up in this environment will become more and more excellent.

Even if they are talking to top politicians like the principal and secretary, they will not have any restraint, and they will be calm from beginning to end.

People who are already excellent have almost no barriers when they enter society, even in the same circle (Huaqing University). In this way, their future destiny will naturally be brighter and wider.

Zhuang Xin has actually seen a lot.

Even if some students are already very good, after all, they are students of Huaqing University, and the lower limit is super high. But sometimes because of family background, because of background, and because they seem a little mediocre among their peers, these will lead to a kind of inferiority complex at the same level.

This is very realistic.

And the fact that he, the deputy director of the admissions office, did not become a source of pressure for them after their friends came and their good friends were together, is enough to show one thing - these proud children of heaven will have a smooth future.

"Look, you have such a good relationship, and you're in the same school and the same dormitory, isn't that great?" At this time, Director Zhang suddenly said with a smile.

At this moment, Zhuang Xin next to him showed a somewhat joyful smile.

Good kid, your An Muxi (a brand of yogurt) will definitely be in place.

"What are the dormitories like at Huaqing University?" At this time, Liu Chengxi asked curiously.

And this question, although asked by Liu Chengxi, was everyone's collective thought.

The reason for letting this 'honest person' say it was that he was the least intimidating in terms of momentum.

As soon as he asked this question, Zhuang Xin began to overthink...

Good heavens, this should be their condition for applying to Huaqing together.

There was no doubt that these kids had their eyes on the dormitories.

That is the rumored Shanhong Apartment, the most luxurious apartment in Huaqing, converted from a former four-star hotel, which is basically difficult to apply for.

Indeed, it exists.

But really, it's not as exaggerated as the rumors online.

General university dormitories are really not that luxurious.

You should know that many schools, even key universities, still have cement floors in their dormitories.

Therefore, dormitories that can reach the level of fine decoration of commercial housing are already considered luxurious.

The apartment they are implying does exist, and it is not the international student dormitory as rumored online. Of course, the conditions of the international student dormitories are definitely better than those of general student dormitories, but they do not reach this standard.

At school, only doctoral students can apply. Moreover, because the number is extremely small, there are certain requirements for the major. Undergraduates basically have no chance of applying.

There are so many provinces in the country, and each province has a top scorer, but no one has used dormitory conditions as a negotiating point.

Of course.

The current situation is different.

Chen Yuan is not the top scorer in the province, but the top scorer in the new national exam.

If the remaining two boys can also come...

"Oh." Zhuang Xin paused for a moment and said, "Four people in the undergraduate dorms, three people in the graduate dorms. There are also older dorms for six people. But don't worry, you will definitely be in a four-person dorm."

After these words were spoken, the three boys blankly 'oh'ed'...

Damn, the pressure is on!

Although nothing was said, it was more powerful than saying anything!

*Pure Di Hua (Internet slang for overthinking and imagining things).*

While listening to their inner voices, Chen Yuan realized that this kid Zhuang Xin was really good at fighting wits and courage with thin air.

He actually didn't know anything about the Internet-famous dormitory.

What the three of them were thinking was that if they could negotiate conditions, they would get a better dormitory.

But now that you've let me hear that there's the best one, not given to others, only given to me, then it's definitely—a free gift, jpg.

The sudden blank expressions on the three people's faces made Zhuang Xin feel that there was no need to pretend anymore. At most, he just wouldn't let them talk about it everywhere.

So, he asked with a smile, "Are you all going to take the doctoral exam?"

"I should take the graduate exam… the doctoral exam is a bit too far away," Shen Yating said puzzled.

"Anyway, when they ask you later, just say you'll take it," Zhuang Xin said.

At university.

Or rather, at Huaqing University, the only top people are undergraduates and doctoral students.

Because the graduate student group is too large, students who are a little more outstanding in their studies will take the postgraduate entrance examination, so they belong to the kind of people who are stuck in the middle.

Moreover, the value of a Huaqing University undergraduate degree is higher than that of a non-Huaqing undergraduate degree plus a Huaqing graduate degree.

But reading to a doctorate is different, you are at the top of the food chain everywhere.

Therefore, if students can take the doctoral exam, the school hopes that they will continue their studies.

"Oh, oh." The three boys nodded together.

And Zhuang Xin also found a way to make them more clear-headed.

"Don't worry, the school has a dormitory that only doctoral students can apply for. But on my side, it's no problem to help you get it," Zhuang Xin waved his hand and solemnly promised.

At this moment, the three boys' eyes instantly changed from foolishly clear to clear and sunny: "Oh, oh! Thank you!"

Too calculating, too scheming, these people!

Zhuang Xin had to admit that the children were not as simple as he imagined.

But there was no way, with the performance delivered to his doorstep, this good opportunity to become famous in the recruitment world might be the only time in his life.

Zhou Jinwei, I've brought the people to you, I'll leave the serving to you!

………

The teachers at Huaqing University were indeed sincere, and everyone was quite satisfied, so they directly made the decision to apply to this school together.

They didn't even leave any room for negotiation with the admissions office at Ji University.

Even though they had already rushed over from Ningcheng.

But according to Lao Ting (Shen Yating)'s words: Since you like the students from Haizhong, then recruit to your heart's content in Ningcheng.

In fact, Chen Yuan wasn't that petty.

Lao Bai played so well in the training matches, who would really think that a top scorer would be produced in Xiahai.

And after solving the matter of filling out the application, Chen Yuan was finally able to calm down and enjoy this summer vacation.

However, this last hurdle...

Was a bit difficult to overcome.

Chen Yuan took a taxi to school, fearing that he would meet classmates on the way and then be put in an awkward situation.

After all, they were really capable when it came to creating awkwardness!

Should he wear a mask and sunglasses...

That would be too pretentious, even Chen Yuan himself couldn't stand it, like a young idol, kind of idiotic.

But at this time, it should be fine, right?

Because he was going a little late, Chen Yuan thought.

But when he walked to the school gate, he was really numb.

The school didn't know when, but a large group of younger students had gathered at the gate, some holding flowers and some holding firecrackers.

Were they lying in wait for him?

After spotting He Hongtao, Chen Yuan realized that they really might be lying in wait for him!

Damn it, Chen Yuan wanted to go home a little.

"The senior is here!"

"It's Senior Chen Yuan!"

Bang!

Someone immediately captured Chen Yuan, who had a strong sense of elusiveness, and then, firecrackers went off, and a golden rain fell at the school gate...

They were celebrating the real champion!

There was no way, no matter how awkward Chen Yuan felt, he had to walk over.

Then, he heard thunderous applause.

The cars and pedestrians passing by the school also stopped to watch this scene.

They appreciated it together with the particularly conspicuous 'National Top Scorer Chen Yuan' displayed at the school gate.

"Damn, Eleventh High School produced a national top scorer," a driver leaned out his head and exclaimed.

"Not Fourth High School, not First High School, the high school landscape in Xiahai is about to change!"

"As expected of our Xiahai, awesome."

"I heard it's that Chen Yuan who donated money earlier, he's really amazing."

"Then Eleventh High School must be smiling from ear to ear."

"Of course, the principal is personally welcoming the top scorer at the gate, what a show!"

Chen Yuan walked step by step to the center.

And He Hongtao also walked towards him.

Then, he put his arm around his back from behind and led him into the school, "Congratulations, top scorer."

"Thank you, teacher." Chen Yuan was a little shy, and quickly responded, "Congratulations to Xuanxuan too, I heard she did very well on the exam."

"Yes, thanks to your help, she should have 'landed' too," He Hongtao said with a smile.

Then, the female announcer from Eleventh High School, replacing the girl named Cheng Haiying, came forward to give the senior flowers.

This girl was very popular, almost like a school beauty, and smiled very sweetly.

But Chen Yuan still thought that Cheng Haiying, the girl who was a little neurotic and multi-layered, was more individual...

"Senior, congratulations!"

At this time, Gu Chuan from the first year also came out of the crowd, filled with admiration.

Then, Chen Yuan reached out and touched his head, "Thank you, it's your turn in two years."

The girls then let out a burst of screams...

A very fū (affectedly cute) scream!

"Hey, shouldn't it be class time now?" Chen Yuan was a little puzzled because there were so many people in school uniforms on the playground.

The corridors were also surrounded by students.

Just like the previous basketball game, he was in the spotlight.

"The school gave all the students a one-class break to share the top scorer's joy," Director Huang next to him said.

"Ah, this... okay."

The younger students have also gotten better, eating the dividends of me, Chen Yuan.

"Senior, can we take a photo together!"

Suddenly, four girls rushed over like Tsar's ultimate move, holding their phones in their hands, looking excited.

Wait, Taozi, look, you're not managing this matter of bringing phones to school?

"Ah, okay."

Chen Yuan, like a little chick, was led by He Hongtao, awkwardly agreeing to various photo requests. His whole state was not very smart.

He didn't know how many times he took photos, how many times he was swiped, and by the end, he was a little tired. Then He Hongtao was also almost done, so he dispersed the gathered students and took Chen Yuan to the principal's office: "I bet you'll never guess who came to see you."

"Hiss, I really can't guess."

Chen Yuan followed He Hongtao blankly, and then entered the principal's office, and saw Zhang Jianjun, holding a pomelo in his arms, sitting in the principal's seat...

Damn, Junjun!

Seeing Chen Yuan, Zhang Jianjun's mood didn't improve much either.

"Hello, teacher." Chen Yuan, on the other hand, took the initiative to say hello.

Zhang Jianjun looked at this kid, and no matter how reluctant he was, no matter how much he felt he had lost face, he slowly stood up at this moment and handed the pomelo to Chen Yuan, "The pomelo with the highest point measured with a ruler, presented to the top scorer."

"..."

Stunned, looking at the pomelo in Zhang Jianjun's hand, Chen Yuan seemed to see "Having received the Mandate of Heaven, may he enjoy a long and prosperous life."

Is this really for me?

With a somewhat nervous mood, Chen Yuan took the most expensive pomelo in the world, like an uncrowned king touching the championship trophy.

At this moment, his whole mood was excited.

So, this is what it feels like to obtain a divine weapon.

"Principal He." Chen Yuan glanced at He Hongtao, with a smile on his face.

He Hongtao also returned the smile.

What did that mean? What were these two laughing at?

Zhang Jianjun didn't understand.

But the next moment, Chen Yuan, holding the pomelo, stood next to him, and He Hongtao was on the other side. Without saying anything, the two sandwiched him in the middle.

And what was even more outrageous was that, without any communication throughout the whole process, Director Huang immediately took out his phone to take a photo...

At this moment, Zhang Jianjun was dumbfounded: Wait, why are you so skilled!
