An Youyu did not respond, but only glanced at Lin Mo.

Outside, Lin Mo is her spokesperson.

Lin Mo nodded. "I am Lin Mo, and this is An Youyu. May I ask who you are?"

After confirming their identities, the man introduced himself enthusiastically: "Hello, you two. My name is Cao Lian, the Dean of Students of Xia Bei. I'm here to pick you up and take you to Xia Bei."

"Hello, Director Cao."

Lin Mo smiled politely and gave An Youyu a look. An Youyu understood and then said, "Hello, Director Cao."

Cao Lian waved his hand, "No need to address me so formally. You two can call me Lao Cao or Teacher Cao, either is fine."

Lin Mo and An Youyu exchanged a glance, perfectly in sync, and said in unison, "Hello, Teacher Cao."

Cao Lian's face was wrinkled as he helped Lin Mo lift his suitcase, saying, "It's too hot outside, get in the car."

Lin Mo squeezed An Youyu's small hand, the cool touch making him smile.

hot?

He has a portable cooling device, so he can stay cool.

With a roar, the car headed towards Xiabei.

While driving, Cao Lian made small talk, saying, "I didn't expect that both of you would choose Xia Bei. As the top two scorers in this year's college entrance examination, your choice of Xia Bei truly brings honor to our institution."

To be fair, Xia Bei's attitude was indeed commendable.

It's truly rare to see the head of teaching at the second-ranked university in the prestigious Xia Kingdom acting as a driver, and even more so, being so polite.

As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person.

Since Cao Lian was so polite, Lin Mo naturally greeted him with a smile. "Teacher Cao, you're too kind. We've admired Xia Bei for a long time. From the very beginning, An and I have considered getting into Xia Bei as our goal, and we've been working hard towards that goal."

Cao Lian's smile froze.

As the dean of students, he knew all the inside story about recruiting Lin Mo and An Youyu.

These two clearly filled in Tsinghua University on their application forms, do you really think he didn't know?

So you just spout off whatever comes to mind, huh?

Chapter 425 Ke Renyi!

An Youyu's reaction was quite amusing; she covered her face with her hands and curled up like an ostrich.

Looking in the rearview mirror, Lin Mo noticed Cao Lian's stiff smile and immediately guessed what was going on.

He immediately changed the subject, "Teacher Cao, I heard from An that we're planning to shoot a promotional video this afternoon?"

"Correct."

In just a few words, Cao Lian realized that Lin Mo was no ordinary young man. "An is very good-looking and so outstanding. It would be perfect for her to be the spokesperson for Xia Bei."

"Just her, right?"

Upon hearing Lin Mo's question, Cao Lian gave an awkward smile, "This... I'm not quite sure."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo immediately sensed something was amiss. "As the Dean of Students at Xia Bei, you must know about something as important as being the spokesperson, Teacher Cao, right?"

"This one……"

"Teacher Cao isn't unaware, she just doesn't want to say, right?"

Cao Lian smiled awkwardly. Seeing that Lin Mo had already put it so bluntly, he couldn't hide it any longer. "Originally, there was only one spokesperson, but the principal suddenly contacted me in the middle of the night yesterday, saying that it would be too monotonous to have only An as the spokesperson, so he temporarily added a boy to create a youthful feel."

"That's it."

Lin Mo's eyes darkened, and he said nothing more.

The matter of choosing a spokesperson is clearly not something Cao Lian can decide. Even if you want to express your dissatisfaction, it won't do any good to do so with Cao Lian.

If you're going to look for someone, you should look for someone who can make the decision!

Cao Lian, who had gotten to where he was today, was naturally quite adept at reading people. He gave an awkward laugh and said, "You must be tired, right? Let's stop chatting for now. Take a nap if you want, and I'll wake you up when we get to school."

After saying that, he focused on driving.

An Youyu sensed Lin Mo's unhappiness and took the initiative to place her hand in his palm, leaning closer to him, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "The spokesperson... I can turn it down."

Lin Mo was surprised and lowered her voice, "This is a lot of money, you don't want it?"

An Youyu shook her head. "You can never earn enough money."

Lin Mo smiled and said, "Let's not rush to conclusions. Let's wait until we meet with the principal at the school."

"Ah."

An Youyu rarely objected to what Lin Mo said.

Of course, this doesn't include the times when Lin Mo deliberately took advantage of her.

The Imperial Capital Airport is not far from Xia Bei. In less than twenty minutes, Lin Mo and An Youyu, who were sitting in the back row, saw the south gate of Xia Bei.

Atop the gate stands a phoenix stone sculpture several meters tall, flanked by two white stone pillars, each adorned with a golden dragon. Combined with the gate's unique design, it exudes both solemnity and modern style, brimming with artistic flair.

The car drove straight into Xiabei and stopped in the parking lot in front of the teachers' office building three minutes later.

"call--"

As soon as I got out of the car, the scorching heat hit me.

Lin Mo put his arm around An Youyu's shoulder, feeling a bit better as he felt the coolness emanating from her body.

This action made An Youyu freeze. Fortunately, tomorrow was the official registration day, and there weren't many people at the school at the moment.

It was precisely for this reason that An Youyu couldn't say what she wanted to say.

Forget it.

That jerk was in a bad mood just now, let him be.

Cao Lian also noticed Lin Mo's behavior, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.

He led the two into the building, and after taking the elevator, he introduced with a smile: "Professor Xia Bei's office is in this building. Although our Xia Bei may not have the same foundation as Tsinghua University, its drive far surpasses that of Tsinghua. Tsinghua University has been in the position of the top university for too long and is too complacent."

"Over the years, Tsinghua University has been resting on its laurels without any intention of innovation. Don't be fooled by the fact that it is still the top university. I believe that it won't be long before Xia Bei takes the throne of the top university."

Lin Mo smiled and said, "Teacher Cao is right. In my opinion, Xia Bei is much better than Tsinghua University."

Cao Lian: "..."

He was referring to the future; currently, Xiabei is still quite far behind Tsinghua University.

That's not how you flatter someone. This young man named Lin Mo may be young, but his ability to lie through his teeth is masterful.

but……

Wear it a thousand times, but flattery never wears it.

That's certainly a pleasant thing to hear.

Upon arriving at the principal's office, Cao Lian smoothed his hair and straightened his tie before raising his hand to knock on the door.

"Come in."

Led by Cao Lian, Lin Mo pulled An Youyu inside.

The minimalist decor and business-style layout make the office look very spacious.

An elderly man with gray hair, wearing reading glasses, sat by the window with his back to the door. Next to him was a small tea table with a wooden tea tray on it, and four miniature Jianzhan teacups steaming in the tea.

Cao Lian quickly walked up behind the old man. "Principal, the person has arrived."

The old man opened his eyes, which gleamed with wisdom, and slowly got up and turned to look.

Logically, his attention should have been focused more on An Youyu, but the actual situation was not like that. After his gaze lingered on An Youyu briefly, it fell on Lin Mo. He extended his right hand and said, "Hello, both of you. I am Principal Ke Renyi of Xiabei."

Lin Mo stepped forward and shook hands. "Hello, Principal Ke. I grew up listening to your stories."

The main theme is one word: interpersonal relationships and social skills.

After all, I'll be spending a long time in Xiabei, so it's good to build a good relationship with the school leaders first, which will make things easier later.

Upon hearing this, An Youyu looked completely bewildered.

Meanwhile, Cao Lian, the head of the teaching department, managed a weak smile. He had figured out that Lin Mo was a cunning little fox, and quite difficult to deal with.

Ke Renyi smiled enigmatically, "Student Lin, have you heard of my exploits?"

Lin Mo nodded, "Of course."

"Then tell me, what do you know about me?"

"Principal, let's talk about this later when we have time. Let's get down to business first."

"Business?"

"For example, matters concerning welfare benefits and the filming of celebrity endorsements."

Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, two words involuntarily surfaced in the minds of both Ke Renyi and Cao Lian.

Slip!

Ke Renyi didn't press the matter further and nodded in agreement with Lin Mo's words, "Sit down and let's talk."

After the three of them sat down, Ke Renyi brought over a cup of freshly brewed tea. “Come on, have a taste. This is my treasured tea that I’ve kept for many years. I wouldn’t have taken it out if you two little ones hadn’t come.”

Cao Lian said quietly, "Principal, does this mean I'm not worthy?"

Ke Renyi's white beard trembled as he laughed and said, "Director Cao, it's not very meaningful for you to say that. Haven't you drunk enough over the years?"

Cao Lian smiled and said nothing more.

In short, his goal was to elevate Lin Mo and An Youyu.

The moment An Youyu took off her mask, Ke Renyi and Cao Lian both looked amazed.

That charisma, that look...

She looks so much better in person than in photos!!!
