Cosmic Demon

Chapter 190 The door leading to the upper level is officially closed to you!
Qin Shi greeted the teachers and students of Xinyi Middle School, then followed Fang Butang into the black car with a white license plate from the Education Commission.

"Qin Shi... should be attending the four national universities' enrollment."

Xu Mo, who was holding the banner, had envy in his eyes.

The four major national universities are the holy places in the hearts of all students that they dream of.

To be more precise, it is the best way to achieve class transition.

"Old Qin really did a great job! He won first place in the top 100 competition and is totally worthy of a place in one of the four national universities!"

Zhou Ning said happily that he was naturally happy to see his best friend succeed.

"We have finally made it out of Old Factory Street... What's that old saying? Oh, Wenquxing! Getting the admission letters from the four national universities means Wenquxing has definitely come down to earth!"

Zhao Yunzhu presented flowers and returned to the team.

She recalled meeting Qin Shi at the Talent Apartment before, and then being in the spotlight today and being picked up at the airport by the Education Commission. She couldn't help but feel dazed.

Not long after that, the ordinary students in the former Hongzhi class have already soared to the sky!
The speed of its rise is truly unbelievable.

“I can’t even touch the shadow.”

Zhao Yunzhu was discouraged. After all, she was a top student in the elite class and her family conditions were outstanding.

As a result, when he stood in front of Qin Shi, it felt like they were in a world of difference.

She glanced at Xu Mo, who seemed to have adjusted his mentality and looked calm at the moment.

"I went to the same school with Jiaoyang. After graduation, I can also be a topic of conversation."

Xu Mo smiled.

During the time when he and Qin Shi lived in the talent apartment, he felt very dissatisfied.

Later, after witnessing how Qin Shi had beaten Lu Hui so badly that his faith in Taoism was shattered, he became jealous and curious, and wanted to know the secret of the other party's rapid improvement in vitality.

It was not until the extracurricular activity of the Inspection Department that Qin Shi, as a mentor, used his own hands to easily deal with Zheng Yun. Only then did he realize the gap between the two of them, and they were not on the same level at all.

After accepting this, his mentality became calmer.

Sparrows may envy wild geese and fear eagles, but it is impossible for them to have any extra thoughts about real dragons.

Because it is too far away and can't be reached at all!
"Let's go back. Wait for good news from Qin. I wonder which national university he will choose?"

Xu Mo put away the banner and looked at Zhou Ning.

The latter shrugged and said:
"Old Qin has always had his own ideas. There is no difference between the four national universities. They are all top institutions of learning at the same level!"

Zhao Yunzhu took over the conversation and explained in a playful manner:
"Of course there are differences. The predecessor of Southwest United was the famous Yunan Military Academy, which had produced countless generals and heroes. The school had a very good relationship with the military and was known as the 'cradle of senior officers'.

Needless to say, the imperial capital of North China is home to most of the alumni of the three divisions and nine ministries. It is also a central place, so graduates have bright prospects, and it is known as the 'Red Tower'.

Fuxing Tongwen, the real base camp of the new martial arts school, is also a stronghold of cutting-edge technology. Companies like United Pharmaceutical and Medicine Buddha provide large amounts of sponsorship every year just to maintain their qualifications as campus recruitment partners.

Yangchen Museum, no need to say more, you just need to understand that since the establishment of Santan Heavy Industry, there have been 37 chief engineers and 43 chief designers, and Yangchen Museum contributed two-thirds. So much so that Santan Heavy Industry, which is known as the Dongxia Tian brand, once had the saying of "Yangchen Gang". "

Zhou Ning was confused by what he heard, and felt a sense of awe.

There is no way. Although the title of the four national universities is very important, it is too far away from the Old Factory Street.

Just like the children of employees would not care about what documents and policies the Imperial Capital issues to benefit the people's livelihood, nor would they care which super consortium Haizhou has reached a project cooperation with.

"In my opinion, the most likely choice is North China Imperial Capital or Southwest United."

Xu Mo judged.

"Student Qin is from the old martial arts school, and he probably won't choose to revive Tongwen with the new martial arts school as the king. As for Yangchen Museum, I haven't heard that Student Qin is interested in the mechanical path."

Zhao Yunzhu thought about it and felt that it was quite reasonable, and then said:
"I heard that the Southwest United Army has been competing with the military academy of the ancient star Yinghuo in recent years. The latter looks down on the former, saying that the Southwest United Army is full of young soldiers with gilded resumes but poor combat experience."

Xu Mo is usually considered a military fan, and is quite familiar with the major battle groups. He frowned and said:
"That's not the way to say it. The several major regiments that cooperated with the Southwest Alliance were the Seventh Regiment stationed in the Beidou Star Region and the Ninth Regiment in the Heixie Star Region. The intensity of the wars in these two places was relatively low, and they were indeed not as fierce as the Fourth Regiment.

But the term "young master soldier" is definitely a smear campaign. The new generation star of the Seventh Regiment, Mo Zhenting, is also from Hengzhou. He has been awarded the Golden Spike Shoulder Insignia, and his promotion speed is as fast as a rocket."

Several people got on the school bus. The head teacher Qian Feng heard their discussion and said confidently:

"The Education Commission will definitely make arrangements. Qin's situation is called special recruitment, which is more difficult than passing the exam. I guess he will have to go through some assessments in the middle."

Zhou Ning asked curiously:

“What is the difference between special recruitment and admission?”

The head teacher Qian Feng replied:

"The special recruitment is for the junior class, which lasts three years. Students in their senior year are directly recruited to participate in various high-level national projects. Students from the four national universities who come out of the junior class are very popular. They are the pride of the world wherever they go."

Zhou Ning couldn't help but worry when he heard this. He had never doubted Lao Qin's ability.

But the thresholds for admission to the four national junior classes are indeed high.

I don’t know if I can get over it!

……

……

The black car drove to the Education Commission Building, and Fang Butang took Qin Shi to the large conference room on the fourth floor.

"Please wait a moment. The admissions teachers from the four national universities are on their way."

The conference room was very spacious, with the giant oval solid wood table occupying most of the space.

As soon as Qin Shi sat down, his secretary brought him hot tea.

"Commissioner Fang..."

"Just call me Teacher Fang. I used to be the president of Qiguang Hengda University, and I was also a teacher for a few years. It's more intimate to call me that."

Fang Butang's attitude was very gentle.

"Teacher Fang."

During the Qin Dynasty, people were quick to accept good advice.

He has many good qualities, the most prominent of which is that he respects the elderly and loves the young.

"I have talked to Lao Chen, and he is very optimistic about your future. The Four National Universities are the highest institutions of learning in Dongxia, and the shining jewel in the crown of the education sector."

Fang Butang seemed to be having a heart-to-heart talk, trying to find out what Qin Shi was thinking.

"Xiao Qin, I won't beat around the bush. Before the admissions teachers from the four national universities come over, I have a few words to tell you.

Your winning of the first place in the top 100 competition this time has brought great honor to the Inspection Department. Old Chen will be able to stand up straight and speak with confidence in the future during meetings.

Old Chen thinks you are worthy of being called a supernova in this area. I have held several seminars with the Education Committee and I think there is no problem. After all, your achievements are there. Zhou Yuanchen from the Central City Education Department is no match for you. "

Lao Zhou, now you have really become a background board and a stepping stone!
Qin Shi probably understood Lao Zhang's feelings a little bit.

Became famous at a young age, then got stepped on by others, lost once and got criticized for the rest of his life!

From then on, when people mentioned battle achievements, such as Qi Wuxiang, He Lanchan, and the top ten heroes of the first generation, they would always mention Lao Zhang from Nanhuang Taoist Temple.

It’s so upsetting just thinking about how this feels!

"Thank you, Mr. Fang, for your cultivation."

Qin Shi stood up and bowed slightly. Young people should also know etiquette.

"You fought for this on your own, and I just went along with it. To be honest, if you hadn't recognized the senior from the Nanhuang Dojo as your master, and hadn't had conflicts with the Central City's Education Department, including the Ying family, it wouldn't have been my and Lao Chen's turn, and the Central City would have snatched you away long ago."

Fang Butang smiled kindly. He pressed his palm down, motioning Qin Shi to sit down and not to be restrained.

"I want to hear your thoughts, Xiao Qin. Do you yearn for the four national universities? Lao Chen admires and values ​​you very much. As Tai'an people, we certainly hope that talents like you can stay in Tai'an, but the enrollment of the four national universities is indeed a door to a higher place..." "I am willing to stay in Hengzhou, in Tai'an."

Qin Shi said neatly.

"I know that no one will give up the Four Nationalities. Xiao Qin, if you say so, I won't either... huh?"

Fang Butang was stunned, and looked up suddenly, his calm face losing its composure.

"What did you say?"

Qin Shi's tone was calm, without any ups and downs, as if he was stating a conclusion that he had thought about countless times and finally arrived at.

"I want to stay in Hengzhou, in Tai'an. Uncle Chen, Master Zhang, and you have all helped me a lot, and I hope to be able to repay you."

Fang Butang moved his throat twice, but was unable to utter a single word.

As someone who has been in the system for many years, he is accustomed to intrigue and profiteering, and is well aware of the temptation of the word "future".

Being specially recruited by the four national universities, a bright and broad future is almost within reach.

Therefore, Fang Butang did not hold out any hope that he could convince Qin Shi.

He has always been good at judging people. Although this successor of the Nanhuang Taoist Temple is young, his determination will never be easily shaken.

however……

"Xiao Qin, are you sure?"

Fang Butang even suspected that he might be blind and deaf and must have heard it wrong.

"I was originally planning to discuss this with Master Zhang. Now that you mentioned this, Master Fang, I'll just make the decision myself. I believe Master Zhang will agree with my decision."

Qin Shi's emotions were stable and his eyes were calm.

This made Fang Butang feel inexplicably frustrated, but he soon showed obvious joy:

"Old Chen was right! Xiao Qin, don't worry, the four national universities are a great future, but the road is also bumpy. You stay in Hengzhou, stay in Tai'an, and complete your studies. Old Chen and I can guarantee that we will never let you suffer any grievances!"

As the saying goes, people go to higher places and water flows to lower places.

How could anyone who could enter one of the four national universities be willing to stay?

The reason why Chen Ruofu and Fang Butang wanted Qin Shi to complete his studies in Hengzhou was, on the one hand, that they hoped to achieve outstanding "political achievements" and enhance the weight of the Tai'an metropolitan area; on the other hand, they also took into account the conflicts between Qin Shi and the Education Department and the Ying family.

"Thank you, Teacher Fang."

Qin Shi remained polite.

He didn't feel that he was at a disadvantage. The "Secret Book of the Universe's Furnace" of Nanhuang Taoist Temple and the "Void Meditation Method" of He Lanchan were enough for him to practice for a long time.

As for resources, with the help of Entropy Bank and Void Mining, there will be no urgent shortage.

Moreover, as a local administrative unit, Tai'an Metropolitan Area receives a lot of quotas every year.

"Now that we have made the decision, when the admissions teachers from the four national universities come over, please ask Teacher Fang to receive them for me."

Qin Shi stood up and said.

"Don't you plan to meet them and listen to the conditions they offer? Based on your performance in the top 100 competition, the four national universities may very well recruit you and let you enter the junior class."

Fang Butang hesitated.

Although he personally hoped that Qin Shi would stay in Hengzhou, he would also respect the student's own choice.

Being tyrannical and making decisions for others will only create resentment and hatred.

In many systems, people tend to be too autocratic, which ultimately backfires and makes small things into big things.

"Teacher Fang, I read a sentence and I quite agree with it. The past is a ghost, illusory. Only the future has weight."

Qin Shi nodded slightly, his tone was firm:

“Once a person makes a decision, it is doomed to become the past and there is no need to look back. In my eyes, there is only an infinite future, and that is what I am willing to pursue.”

Fang Butang's expression became stern, and he said solemnly:
"You have taught me a lesson. Okay, I understand. I will handle the admissions teachers of the four national universities."

Qin Shi bowed to express his gratitude, then said goodbye and left the conference room.

……

……

The official car stopped at the entrance of the Education Commission Building. The driver saw a familiar red modified motorcycle and said to the two admissions teachers:

"That's it! It just stopped us!"

Teacher Wei frowned subconsciously:
"The owner of the motorcycle entered the Education Commission building like us? Could it be that person?"

The young teacher Li asked:

"Who?"

The driver pulled away and Teacher Wei walked down the driveway:

"The editor-in-chief of Outlook Weekly is Kang Yuner. She also lives in the Black Flame Hotel, on the same floor as us. I heard that she waited so long just to do an exclusive interview with Qin Shi."

Young teacher Li's eyes lit up slightly, and he seemed a little resentful of Old Wei for not saying anything.

If he had known that he would be staying in the same hotel with the beautiful editor-in-chief of Outlook Weekly, he would have created opportunities to strike up a conversation with her.

"Let's go, Xiao Li. The top 100 contestant is already waiting for us. Later, we should be gentle and explain the advantages of entering the four major national universities."

Teacher Wei said as he walked up the stairs.

"Just introduce yourself. Hengzhou is not a top-tier city. It's just a border administrative city. I can't think of anyone here who can refuse the admission of the four major national universities."

The young teacher Li didn't care.

He glanced back at the red modified motorcycle and couldn't help but imagine the dashing demeanor of the beautiful editor-in-chief.

Thought:
"I must meet you if I have the chance!"

Just as the two admissions teachers entered the elevator, the iron gate on the other side of the elevator opened and Qin Shi walked out.

He walked steadily, his windbreaker fluttering slightly, and was standing at the door of the Education Commission building, about to leave, when a pair of eyes caught his attention.

Wearing a red and black motorcycle suit that outlines her rather hot body curves, the female rider leaned against the wall, as if waiting for someone.

She raised her chin towards Qin Shi, then straddled the motorcycle with her long legs, made a beautiful U-turn, and drove to the steps at the entrance of the building.

"Get in the car, and reject Qin Shi, a student from the Four Great Nations. I have been waiting for you for a month."

Qin Shi's eyes darkened slightly, and then he thought of something:
"Editor-in-Chief Kang of Outlook Weekly?"

Kang Yuner nodded and smiled:
"You didn't call me beautiful, so I'll give you 10 extra points. Little brother, do you know that from the moment you walked out of the door of the Education Committee, the door to the upper class of Dongxia has been closed to you?"

The four great nations have stood for thousands of years. Their strong heritage and lofty status prevent them from repeatedly extending olive branches to a young man from a frontier administrative planet.

Anyone, even a noble from the Nine Clans, only has one chance.

"Really? That's a pity."

Qin Shi shrugged and walked towards Kang Yuner.

He got on the back of the motorcycle without any hesitation or discomfort.

"There is an old saying in the old era: when the gods close a door for you, you have to open a window for yourself. Ms. Kang, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. Before the interview, could you take me home first?"
