My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

Chapter 427 Contract... Not signed yet

Outside the South Gate of Xiabei.

More than a dozen elderly men with gray hair glared angrily at the four security guards blocking their way.

An elderly man, hunched over and leaning on a cane, slowly walked to the front of the crowd. "Bring out that brat Ke Renyi. He'll give us old folks an explanation today..."

As he spoke, he raised his cane and shouted, "I'll smash his skull!"

"..."

The four security guards looked at each other in bewilderment.

They were also in a dilemma. Before leaving, Teacher Wang had specifically instructed them not to get into a conflict with this group of elderly people, as these people had a powerful background.

Moreover, these people were too old; I didn't dare touch them.

"cough--"

Ke Renyi had just arrived at the school gate when he heard someone say they were going to smash his head open, and his expression became somewhat unnatural.

But when he saw who was speaking, even though he was unhappy, he dared not show it at all.

Qi Bei, a level-five mathematician.

Currently, Xia Guo has only three Level 5 mathematicians, and Qi Bei is one of them.

Moreover, compared to the other two, Qi Bei has a greater reputation in the mathematics community. He can almost be considered the number one mathematician in China, and even internationally, he is among the very top group of people, the pinnacle of the pyramid.

Ke Renyi walked out of the small door, came to Qi Bei, bowed respectfully, and said with a wry smile, "Elder Qi, I have always been diligent and careful in my work, and I don't think I have offended you in any way, have I?"

Qi Bei's expression was displeased. "Xiao Ke, don't pretend you don't know!"

Upon hearing the nickname "Xiao Ke," the security guards secretly clicked their tongues in amazement.

Ke Renyi is the principal of Xiabei, yet this old man dares to address him like that, and Ke Renyi still greets him with a smile, which shows how high the old man's status is.

The group exchanged silent glances, a look of relief spreading across their faces.

Just now, these old people were very rude and even tried to fight with them. If it weren't for Wang Chuan's instructions, they almost would have attacked them.

Ke Renyi asked in confusion, "Old Qi, just say what you want to say directly, there's no need to beat around the bush."

"You're still pretending, right?"

Qi Bei's expression grew increasingly displeased. "Call out that girl An Youyu. She belongs to Tsinghua University. What are you Xia Bei doing here? There are so many students, why are you all staring at her?"

"That's right! Hand over An Youyu! They're trying to steal students from Tsinghua University. Do they really think we're easy to bully?"

"It's fine with ordinary students, but An Youyu is absolutely out of the question. She has to come with us today!"

"An Youyu must and can only be from Tsinghua University. You Xia Bei students shouldn't even think about it!"

……

As Qi Bei spoke up, the surrounding elderly people echoed him one after another, their attitudes becoming increasingly indignant.

Ke Renyi suddenly realized, "Professor Qi, professors, we must speak from the heart."

As he spoke, he secretly gave Cao Lian a wink.

Cao Lian understood and stepped forward to explain loudly: "Professors, I suppose you are not very familiar with the situation. The reason why An Youyu chose Xia Bei is because the conditions offered by Xia Bei are more generous."

"Moreover, during the enrollment period, many schools competed for An Youyu, including people from Tsinghua University. Choosing Xia Bei was An Youyu's own decision, so it was fair competition."

At this point, he added with a hidden meaning, "Your Tsinghua University admissions office is incompetent, but you can't take it out on us at Xiabei. There has to be reason in everything, right?"

It must be said that Cao Lian was quite eloquent, leaving a group of Tsinghua University professors speechless.

Ke Renyi smiled and spoke up to defuse the situation: "Elder Qi, professors, I can understand your eagerness to attract talent, but in the matter of recruiting An Youyu, we at Xiabei acted with integrity and did not use any underhanded means."

"Besides, everyone here is a prominent figure. If word gets out that they're causing trouble at the entrance of Xiabei School, it won't sound good, will it?"

So what if it doesn't sound good?

Qi Bei said coldly, "I don't care about anything else. No matter what you say today, I'm going to take An Youyu away, even if it costs me my reputation!"

"That's right!"

"Correct!"

...

As soon as Qi Bei spoke, the professors at Tsinghua University seemed to have found their backbone, and their initial hesitation instantly turned into firmness.

Ke Renyi's face darkened. He had said all the nice things, but these old guys in front of him simply wouldn't listen.

Let alone him, anyone would be upset in this situation.

"Professors, I respect you, but please don't take my respect for granted. If you continue like this, I will have security remove you."

Qi Bei stepped forward, his hunched body radiating an intimidating aura. "Try chasing one yourself. I want to see if you have the guts."

Ke Renyi: "..."

If Qi Bei hadn't been in that group, he really would have dared to have the security guards kick them out.

But Qi Bei's presence made him dare not even consider it.

What he said just now was just a small threat. If he were to actually do that, given Qi Bei's reputation in the education circle, he would be quite scared.

"Old Qi, we can't be unreasonable, can we?"

"You want to reason with me? Fine, I won't take advantage of my age. I'll reason with you today."

Qi Bei tapped his cane on the ground. "Did An Youyu and Xia Bei sign a contract?"

"Signed."

Ke Renyi nodded.

When I came out just now, An Youyu was about to sign the contract. Now that a short while has passed, the contract should be signed by now.

Qi Bei frowned, his tone tinged with reluctance, "Fine, then let us old guys go in and take a look at the contract. If it's really signed, we'll turn around and leave, how about that?"

Ke Renyi breathed a sigh of relief. "Alright, professors, please come in."

Cao Lian quickly instructed the security guards to open the gate.

A large group of people headed towards the teachers' office building.

Seven or eight minutes later, Ke Renyi pushed open the office door and saw the closed folder on the coffee table. A smile flashed in his eyes.

"Professor Qi, please come in."

The office is large, and even with many people, it doesn't feel crowded.

When the professors from Tsinghua University saw An Youyu sitting on the sofa, their eyes lit up, as if they had seen a priceless treasure.

In their hearts, An Youyu was indeed a priceless treasure.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have risked their reputation to cause trouble at the entrance of Xiabei School.

As for Lin Mo, nobody cared about him at all.

Lin Mo was also helpless about this.

There is no way, reality is so cruel.

Qi Bei strode forward, extending his hand with a kind smile. "You must be An Youyu? My name is Qi Bei, and I currently teach in the Mathematics Department at Tsinghua University."

"Qi Bei? Qi Bei?"

An Youyu murmured twice, her eyes widening, and she hurriedly stood up and bowed to Qi Bei, "Hello, I am An Youyu."

She was familiar with the name Qi Bei.

This man is a giant in the field of mathematics, and is revered as the most outstanding mathematician in the country.

Qi Bei's smile widened, and he glanced discreetly at the folder on the coffee table. "Um... have you and Xia Bei already signed a contract?"

"Signed."

These words were not spoken by An Youyu, but by Ke Renyi, who was standing to the side.

Qi Bei glanced back at Ke Renyi. "Did I ask you?"

Ke Renyi didn't mind. "Student An, you answer Elder Qi's question."

An Youyu glanced at Lin Mo, who smiled back, "Don't be afraid."

Under the watchful eyes of more than a dozen people, An Youyu shook her head and gave a weak answer.

"The contract...hasn't been signed yet."

Chapter 428 I am the principal, are you?

"The contract...hasn't been signed yet."

As soon as An Youyu uttered those words, everyone in the office except Lin Mo widened their eyes instantly.

Ke Renyi and Cao Lian were taken aback.

In contrast, Qi Bei and a group of mathematics professors from Tsinghua University were overjoyed.

"It's not signed properly, it's not signed properly!"

Qi Bei laughed loudly, his gaze towards Ke Renyi filled with mockery, "Little Ke, is this the signature you were talking about?"

"Luckily, I came to check, otherwise I would have really been fooled by you. This trick is amazing..."

He thought for a moment and gave a two-word evaluation: "Insidious!"

Ke Renyi: "..."

To be fair, he never intended to deceive Qi Bei on this matter, nor would he stoop to doing so.

As the president of Xiabei University, in terms of status, he was no less than Qi Bei, a level-five mathematician.

Of course, in terms of influence, it can't compare. Looking at the entire education sector, Qi Bei's influence ranks among the top three. The phrase "his students are all over the world" is most fitting for Qi Bei.

"An, do you still have any questions about this contract?"

Seeing that things weren't going well, Cao Lian, who was standing to the side, said with a smile, "If you have any doubts, just say so. Whatever conditions you want, the school will meet them."
