Of course!
Faced with Xia Bei's bottomless demands, these people didn't even have the right to compete with him.
Knowing full well that they can't win, why are they still shamelessly staying here?
When Lin Mo came downstairs with the contract that An Youyu had signed with Tsinghua University, only Zhuang Yun from Xiabei and Qiu Wei from Tsinghua University remained in the admissions office in the living room.
"They've all left?"
Lin Mo walked to the sofa with a puzzled look on his face, placed the contract on the coffee table, and looked at An Youyu with a questioning gaze, "What happened after I went upstairs?"
"It's nothing."
An Youyu was a little embarrassed and hesitated before replying, "It's just that... it's just that those teachers left because they saw there was no hope."
"No hope?"
Lin Mo raised an eyebrow and looked at Zhuang Yun. "Professor Zhuang, could you please take a look at this contract and see if there are any problems?"
Zhuang Yun picked up the contract and glanced at it quickly. "No problem, it's just a five million penalty for breach of contract, which Xia Bei will cover."
"Professor Zhuang, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
At this moment, Qiu Wei was truly panicked, and said with a hidden meaning, "To be honest, An Youyu is very popular with several math whizzes on campus. If she hadn't come to Tsinghua University, those guys would have killed me."
"It's not my business?"
Zhuang Yun stared at Qiu Wei expressionlessly. "Whether you live or die is none of my business. Also, don't ever call yourself my student again. I can't bear the shame!"
Qiu Wei: "..."
After a moment of silence, he asked with a stern face, "Professor Zhuang, is Xia Bei really going to go this far?"
"Jue?"
Zhuang Yun chuckled, "This is nothing. Wait a few more years and see if Tsinghua University can still maintain its position as the top university."
Qiu Wei's face darkened. "Professor, this makes sense, doesn't it? Okay, I will relay everything that happened here today to Principal Xu without missing a single word."
"casual."
From beginning to end, Zhuang Yun never took Qiu Wei seriously.
Do not!
To be precise, he didn't take any school seriously.
Given the conditions offered by Xia Bei, no school is qualified to compete with Xia Bei for An You Yu, not a single one!
Qiu Wei stopped at the exit of the living room, turned around and said to An Youyu, "A person without a sense of contract is destined not to go far. You'd better watch yourself!"
He said that, then turned and left.
Lin Shu's face was extremely ugly, her eyes like ice. "This person is very arrogant, isn't he?"
Lin Mo nodded, "They are indeed very arrogant."
Lin Shu narrowed her eyes. "So?"
Lin Mo replied without hesitation, "Mom, your son wants to beat him up."
Hearing the conversation between the mother and son, Zhuang Yun's eyelids twitched, and he quickly spoke up to advise them, "Don't be impulsive, you two. This Qiu Wei has always been like this. Relying on his position as the admissions officer of Tsinghua University, he makes a big fuss during the admissions process of various universities every year. Just ignore him."
An Youyu looked troubled and looked up at Lin Shu. "Auntie, what he said is actually true. We have already signed the contract, and it would be inappropriate for us to unilaterally break it."
"Suitable."
Lin Mo spoke up before his mother could, "Xiaoyuer, even if we unilaterally breach the contract, we still have to pay Tsinghua University five million yuan in liquidated damages. What law says we can't breach a contract?"
"Let me give you an example. You sell something to someone and sign a contract for it. The initial price is 100 yuan, but later your item is worth 1,000 yuan or even more, but the other party only wants to continue to give you 100 yuan."
"In this situation, the best and most reasonable solution is for us to breach the contract and pay the other party a penalty."
"Yes."
Lin Shu wholeheartedly agreed with her son's point of view, gently stroking the girl's hair, "The contract that Tsinghua University signed with you has already violated the admission rules among major universities."
"Moreover, that contract only reflects the value you had when you signed it. As you saw, after you became the top scorer, Tsinghua University did not raise the price at all. Instead, they used that contract to coerce you. Is that appropriate?"
"Furthermore, the conditions offered by Xia Bei are far superior to those offered by Tsinghua University. Your perfect score is the result of your years of hard work. Since the choice is in your own hands, you should naturally choose the conditions that are more advantageous to you."
Lin Shu's tone grew gentler, "Auntie is saying all this just to help Yu'er understand a principle."
"What's the point?"
"As long as you don't do anything immoral, never compromise yourself, no matter what. Qiu Wei's talk about the spirit of contract is utter bullshit, not even worth a fart!"
Chapter 350 The Inside Story of the Rankings
"Cough-cough-"
Lin Mo gave his mother a look, "Little Fish, you don't need to think too much."
“This matter is like doing business, it’s all about mutual consent; but right now you and Tsinghua University have clearly not reached an agreement, while Xia Bei is different.”
As he spoke, he looked at Zhuang Yun and said, "Although I missed a lot when I went upstairs just now, I can still feel that Professor Zhuang came to Jingchuan with great sincerity this time."
Zhuang Yun smiled. "Lin Mo, right? Perfect timing, Xia Bei needs you too."
As he spoke, he took a document from his briefcase and placed it on the coffee table. "Although Xia Bei's offer to you is not as generous as that to An Youyu, it is still quite substantial. You can take a look."
Lin Mo waved his hand dismissively, "No need. Wherever Xiaoyuer goes, I'll go."
As soon as he spoke, a system notification sounded in his mind.
"Host, if you choose Xia Bei, the mission you choose will fail."
"Oh."
"..."
Mission failed?
Then let's fail!
Lin Mo wasn't indifferent to the mission's failure, but compared to attending the same university as An Youyu, the success or failure of the mission became worthless.
Seeing Lin Mo say that, An Youyu lowered her head shyly and whispered, "Lin Mo, you don't need to force yourself for my sake. If you want to go to Tsinghua University..."
"reluctantly?"
Lin Mo laughed, "No, which eye of yours saw that I was reluctant? I'm very happy to do it, okay?"
An Youyu quickly glanced at Lin Mo, her soft voice tinged with apology, "But we made a promise at the beginning, and now I want to change my mind..."
Lin Mo interrupted, asking with considerable curiosity, "Little Fish, can you tell me why you want to go to Xia Bei?"
"Because there are endorsement fees."
An Youyu blurted it out, but as soon as she said it, she regretted it.
Not long ago, she had said to Lin Mo that she regarded money as dirt, and Lin Mo had mocked her at the time. Now she was saying such things again. Wasn't she contradicting herself?
"Endorsement fee?"
Hearing the girl's answer, Lin Mo couldn't help but chuckle. "Little Fish, what was that 'dung' thing again? My memory's been a bit bad lately, could you say it again?"
really!
An Youyu pouted. She knew Lin Mo would tease her about this. She silently looked to the side and said, "Well... it's not just about the endorsement fee. There are other reasons too."
"what reason?"
"I……"
Faced with Lin Mo's persistent questioning, An Youyu was momentarily at a loss for words and could only look to Lin Shu for help.
Lin Shu suppressed a laugh and tried to smooth things over, "Alright, Xiao Mo, you'd better worry about yourself; didn't you want to choose the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Tsinghua University? After changing schools, will you still choose this major?"
"Mom is reminding you that the level of the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Xiabei University is far inferior to that of Tsinghua University, and it also does not have any recommendation quotas from the Chinese Academy of Sciences."
Zhuang Yun coughed lightly, "Miss Lin, could you please give Xia Bei some face? Xia Bei has developed rapidly in recent years. The Department of Mathematical Sciences needs to accumulate talent, and there is indeed no way to do so in a short period of time."
Lin Mo smiled nonchalantly, "It's alright, it's not a big deal if you almost did. To be honest, this major doesn't have high requirements for teachers. Whether you can achieve something depends entirely on yourself."
"well said!"
Zhuang Yun laughed, "One is a perfect scorer, and the other is tenth in the country; you two are the two most outstanding talents this year, and I can say that I have successfully completed this mission."
Lin Mo smiled modestly, "Professor Zhuang is joking. Xiaoyuer certainly deserves the title of the most outstanding, but I don't. I'm only tenth in the country. Besides Xiaoyuer, there are eight people ranked ahead of me."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Yun's face revealed a meaningful expression, "Those eight people... let's not mention them."
"Let me mention it."
Lin Shu suddenly spoke up, his eyes gleaming.
Zhuang Yun coughed. "Miss Lin, this is actually not convenient to talk about."
"Is there something you can't say?"
Lin Shu smiled and retorted, "Professor Zhuang, you know my identity. Even if you didn't tell me, do you think I wouldn't be able to find out?"
"That's true."
Zhuang Yun smiled wryly, hesitated for a moment, and then made up his mind. "Miss Lin, I can tell you about this, but don't mention me to anyone else. Otherwise, I will be held responsible."
"This is natural."
Lin Shu readily agreed.
Lin Mo and An Youyu exchanged a glance. They sensed something fishy in Zhuang Yun's words and both perked up their ears.
Zhuang Yun pointed to An Youyu and Lin Mo and said in a deep voice, "Actually, when I said that these two children are the two most outstanding talents this year, it wasn't without reason."
"An Youyu has the highest raw score this year, followed by Lin Mo. The eight people ranked ahead of Lin Mo all received bonus points."
"Bonus points?"
All three expressed surprise at this.
Meeting the three people's questioning gazes, Zhuang Yun nodded helplessly, "That's right. You should have heard of a policy that allows the direct descendants of people who have made significant contributions to the country to receive a bonus on their college entrance examination. The number of bonus points depends on the magnitude of their contribution."
"The eight people who are ahead of Lin Mo again are all like this. If we only consider the college entrance examination scores, Lin Mo is the second place this year."
Lin Mo frowned and asked in confusion, "But why did all these people choose to use their bonus points this year?"
