He approached the crowd, nodded to Lin Shu, and said, "Madam, I am Qiu Wei, the admissions officer at Tsinghua University. May I ask your surname?"

As he spoke, he had already sat down on the single sofa on the right.

Noticing Qiu Wei's action, Lin Shu narrowed his eyes and said, "My surname is Lin."

"Ms. Lin."

"Teacher Qiu, my daughter got a perfect score in the college entrance examination and is also the top scorer in the country this year. If she goes to Tsinghua University, are there any benefits for her?"

"Welfare?"

Qiu Wei was quite surprised. "Ms. Lin, weren't the terms already agreed upon? Tsinghua University has also signed a relevant contract with An Youyu, and everything will be carried out in accordance with the terms of the contract."

Upon hearing the word 'contract,' the people around frowned, and a hint of worry appeared between their brows.

At the same time, he was also somewhat annoyed.

Tsinghua University!

It's not that these admissions officers are petty, but rather that universities have an unwritten rule regarding admissions.

That means that no one is allowed to poach top students before the college entrance examination results are released.

But now look, only they are foolishly following this tacit rule, while Tsinghua University had already taken action long ago.

Really...

They have absolutely no shame!

Lin Shu smiled casually, "Professor Qiu, I have seen that contract; the conditions offered by Tsinghua University before were only based on my daughter's grades at the time. Now the situation is different. She has become the first perfect scorer in the Xia Dynasty, so she is naturally entitled to better conditions."

"Ms. Lin is joking."

Sensing that Lin Shu might want to back out, Qiu Wei calmly replied, "The contract has already been signed. Besides, your daughter only applied to Tsinghua University, so she can only study there."

The implication was very clear.

Price increase?

impossible!

Seeing Qiu Wei's arrogant and conceited face, Lin Mo spoke up before his mother could say anything: "The contract was indeed signed, but that doesn't mean it can't be breached."

"Breach of contract?"

Qiu Wei smirked, "Young man, do you know how much it costs to breach a contract?"

"How many?"

"five million!"

After stating the number, Qiu Wei asked with a smile, "Are you still going to breach the contract now?"

"A mere five million? Who are you trying to scare?"

Li Mao, who was standing at the front of the crowd, took a step forward and looked at Qiu Wei with obvious sarcasm in his eyes. Then he smiled very politely at Lin Shu.

"Ms. Lin, if An Youyu enrolls in our South China University of Water Resources and Electric Power, we will not only cover the penalty for breach of contract, but also offer incredibly generous terms to your satisfaction."

"Oh?"

A hint of amusement appeared in Lin Shu's eyes. "The South-to-North Water Diversion Project is quite sincere; it's worth considering."

Seeing this, Qiu Wei immediately became anxious.

He angrily questioned Li Mao: "Does your South China University of Water Resources and Electric Power even know the rules?"

Chapter 348 The Battle for Elite Universities (Part Two)

"rule?"

Faced with Qiu Wei's questioning, Li Mao sneered and retorted sharply, "Before asking me if I know the rules, please ask Tsinghua University if you know the rules!"

Qiu Weiteng stood up abruptly. "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean? Don't you understand, Teacher Qiu?"

Li Mao sneered, "Don't you know the admission rules among the top universities? Who gave you permission to contact outstanding students before the college entrance examination results were released?"

"Your Tsinghua University doesn't follow the rules yourselves, but now you're using the rules as an excuse. You really have a hypocrite!"

Upon hearing this, the others chimed in in agreement.

"That's right!"

"Shameless!"

"Aren't you ashamed to say these things?"

"Does being the top university give you the right to do whatever you want?"

What Li Mao said was exactly what everyone was thinking.

Although they are also competitors with Nanshui University of Technology, no one would refuse such a good thing if they could get rid of the strong competitor, Tsinghua University, first.

Over the years, they have suffered a lot of mistreatment from Tsinghua University during the admissions process.

Whenever a promising prospect emerges, Tsinghua University immediately responds.

The key is that they can never win against Tsinghua University. No matter how sincere they are, all the other party needs to do is mention Tsinghua University and offer some small benefits, and the students will obediently agree.

These admissions officers from prestigious universities all harbored deep resentment about this.

Furthermore, Tsinghua University's failure to follow the rules that are generally accepted by other prestigious universities has exhausted the good temper of admissions officers at those universities.

What a load of bullshit, this supposedly top university!

What a piece of junk!

Qiu Wei's face was extremely grim. Facing the crowd, he showed no fear and said coldly, "Please watch your words, everyone, and don't cause unnecessary trouble for your school!"

The threat was quite obvious.

"Ah--"

"Tsinghua University really has a lot of prestige!"

An aged voice came from the entrance of the living room, and an old man, around sixty years old, walked out, his deep eyes filled with wisdom.

Zhuang Yun, Xiabei University.

Xiabei University is ranked second among universities in Xiaguo!

Reaching the front of the crowd, Zhuang Yun squinted at Qiu Wei and said, "Qiu Wei, let's not even talk about whether you can represent Tsinghua University. Even if you could, how dare you say such a thing?"

"To put it bluntly, I suspect you've lost your mind. It's amazing that Tsinghua University is ranked first in China, but that doesn't mean it can look down on everyone else."

In the end, he was still not satisfied, "Let me add one more thing, threatening everyone? Who do you think you are!"

"you……"

Qiu Wei's face flushed red from the rebuke, but he dared not lash out at Zhuang Yun, no matter how angry he was.

In recent years, although Tsinghua University has consistently held the top spot in the rankings of Chinese universities, Xia Bei University has been catching up rapidly. While it may not be as good as Tsinghua University at present, it has already widened the gap with other prestigious universities.

Of course, this is only one aspect.

Zhuang Yun was a fifth-rank Grand Scholar, a veteran figure in the academic world.

Qiu Wei never expected that Xia Bei University would be so generous this time, actually sending a fifth-rank scholar to compete for An Youyu.

In contrast, Qiu Wei wasn't even a Grand Scholar; he was just an ordinary admissions officer.

There is another most important reason.

Qiu Wei had taken Zhuang Yun's class before, so the two had a teacher-student relationship.

Zhuang Yun's appearance caused everyone to gasp and whisper among themselves.

"My goodness! Why did Northwest University send this person out?"

"A fifth-rank Grand Secretary, tsk!"

"Wow! Isn't this competition a bit too intense?"

"They're all insane! They've all gone mad! This is the first time I've ever seen a fifth-rank Grand Scholar come here to join the recruitment frenzy!"

……

Qiu Wei looked embarrassed. "Professor Zhuang, you've misunderstood your student..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhuang Yun interrupted him, "You are not my student, and I could not teach a student like you."

Qiu Wei opened his mouth, looking embarrassed.

Zhuang Yun turned to Lin Shu with a smile, "Miss Lin, it's been a long time. I didn't expect to run into you here."

Lin Shu looked moved and stood up to make way for An Youyu, sitting to her right. "I never expected to see Professor Zhuang here. Please have a seat."

Zhuang Yun didn't stand on ceremony. After sitting down, he got straight to the point: "Miss Lin, I'm here for your goddaughter."

"Xiabei University... seems like it might actually be a good option."

Lin Shu was considering it very seriously.

Her previous statement that South China University of Water Resources and Hydropower Engineering was acceptable was just a perfunctory remark, intended only to spite Qiu Wei.

But this time is different. The development of Xiabei University in recent years is obvious to all. Even if it can't compare with Tsinghua University now, the gap is not that big.

Especially considering that Xia Bei University actually sent Zhuang Yun, a fifth-rank scholar, to contact An Youyu this time, the prestige they've shown is just too much!

Sincerity is always the ultimate weapon!

An Youyu, sitting between the two, frowned slightly after hearing Lin Shu's words.

Zhuang Yun raised his hand and ruffled An Youyu's hair, smiling kindly as he said, "Girl, come to Xiabei. Whatever you want, Xiabei will give you; the treatment is definitely much better than at Tsinghua University."

An Youyu looked up. She was no stranger to Zhuang Yun. Although there were more fifth-rank Grand Secretaries than sixth-rank Grand Secretaries, there were only thirteen of them.

Her eyes were filled with difficulty. "Grandpa Zhuang, I like the profession of antiquities restoration. As far as I know, Xia Bei... does not have a profession of antiquities restoration."

Based on Qiu Wei's attitude just now, she did indeed lose a lot of points for Tsinghua University in her mind.

Without comparison, there is no harm!

Looking at Xia Bei, he sent Zhuang Yun, a fifth-rank scholar, to meet him, showing the utmost sincerity.
