In other words, it wasn't like that last time.
The fact that they ate such a lavish meal in Xia Bei's place without signing a contract already speaks volumes.
For a moment, Qi Bei and a group of Tsinghua University professors all frowned.
"cough!"
Liu Haiyang quickly walked behind Qi Bei and said in a very low voice, "Old Qi, it seems that Lin Mo intends to choose Xia Bei."
Qi Bei glanced at Lin Mo without leaving a trace, and replied in a low voice, "It's okay, he's just an accessory. An Youyu is our target. At worst, we can give Lin Mo to Xia Bei. That way, we won't completely break ties with Xia Bei. After all... we were indeed a bit in the wrong today."
Just as Liu Haiyang was about to nod, he noticed Lin Mo and An Youyu's hands clasped together. "Old Qi, the relationship between these two kids... seems a bit unusual."
Qi Bei naturally understood the meaning behind these words, but he still didn't take it to heart. "So what if they're not ordinary? Tsinghua University isn't that far from Xia Bei. If their relationship is good, even if they separate, it won't have any impact."
"Besides, if the conditions are generous enough, why would An Youyu not come?"
Liu Haiyang didn't say anything more and stepped aside.
Ke Renyi also understood the deeper meaning in Lin Mo's words and couldn't help but laugh.
Wow, this little guy is really good.
It looks good no matter how I look at it.
Ke Renyi called Cao Lian over, and the two of them took turns introducing various aspects of Xia Bei University to Lin Mo and An Youyu. Their enthusiastic manner made Qi Bei and a group of professors from Tsinghua University secretly curse.
This group of people is different from Ke Renyi and Cao Lian, who belong to administrative management, while they are academic researchers.
Teaching at Tsinghua University doesn't mean they understand the university; they simply can't provide the kind of detailed information that Ke Renyi and Cao Lian do...
Lin Mo and An Youyu listened with great interest. After more than ten minutes, the office door opened, and a middle-aged man with an elegant demeanor walked in.
Why use the phrase "elegant and graceful"?
Because this person had an extremely handsome appearance, with chiseled features, slightly long hair, a well-fitting suit, and an air of sophistication.
An Youyu looked up, then lowered her head again.
There was absolutely no reaction.
Lin Mo felt a sudden tightness in his chest.
Grass!
Is the president of Tsinghua University really that handsome?
Even compared to him, she's only slightly inferior.
The key is that this kind of ascetic, mature man's appearance is very popular, and many young girls like this type.
Xu Huanzhi glanced around the office and sat down next to Qi Bei.
On his way here, he had already figured out the ins and outs of the matter and knew why Qi Bei had called him to Xia Bei.
After nodding to Xu Huanzhi, Qi Bei turned his gaze to Ke Renyi. "Alright, the person in charge is here. Shall we begin?"
Xu Huanzhi crossed his legs, a gesture that looked particularly pleasing to the eye. He glanced at Lin Mo and An Youyu and asked, "Elder Qi, what's the situation now?"
Qi Bei pointed to the folder on the coffee table in front of him, "No contract was signed, it's fair competition."
"Row."
Xu Huanzhi nodded to Ke Renyi, "Principal Ke, may I take a look at the contract that your school provided to student An Youyu?"
As the headmaster of the school, Ke Renyi was not petty and said, "Please go ahead."
Xu Huanzhi took the folder, flipped through it, and glanced at it. "Xia Bei's offer is very generous, but Qinghui will offer even more generous terms."
When Ke Renyi heard the first half of Xu Huanzhi's words, a hint of smugness flashed in his eyes, but when he heard the second half of Xu Huanzhi's words, his expression froze instantly.
You can't expect ivory to come out of a dog's mouth.
Xu Huanzhi smiled kindly at An Youyu and extended his hand, "An Youyu, right? I am Xu Huanzhi, the president of Tsinghua University."
An Youyu looked up at Xu Huanzhi's outstretched hand, blinked, and said, "Hello, Principal Xu, I am An Youyu."
However, she did not intend to shake hands with Xu Huanzhi.
On the plane, Lin Mo had given her many instructions, one of which was that she should not have any physical contact with any boys other than him.
Xu Huanzhi was a little embarrassed and was about to withdraw his hand when someone suddenly grabbed it.
Lin Mo grasped Xu Huanzhi's hand with a sincere smile, "Hello, Principal Xu, I grew up listening to your stories."
Ke Renyi: "..."
Qi Bei: "..."
Cao Lian: "..."
Everyone: "..."
A familiar scene has played out once again.
Chapter 431 Do you have any shame?
Xu Huanzhi didn't seem to notice anything, nodding and smiling, "You're Lin Mo, right? Second place in the college entrance exam without any bonus points, a very good score. In previous years, you would definitely have been the top scorer in the country, what a pity..."
Sometimes, saying only half of what you mean is also a skill.
For example, Xu Huanzhi's words not only expressed his appreciation for Lin Mo, but also subtly praised An Youyu.
Lin Mo smiled and said, "It's fine. Being second is good, as long as I'm not sixth."
Everyone: "..."
Xu Huanzhi chuckled, "Lin Mo, why don't you and An Youyu come to Tsinghua University? Tsinghua will give you better treatment and you'll enjoy more resources there."
"Ah--"
Ke Renyi almost had the word 'displeasure' written all over his face, and he said sarcastically, "I've really seen something today. The president of Tsinghua University, a level-five mathematician, actually came to Xiabei to blatantly poach talent. Aren't you afraid of losing face if this gets out?"
"Shameful? How could it be?"
Xu Huanzhi said calmly, "An Youyu was the first perfect scorer in the Xia Dynasty. Although Lin Mo did not get a perfect score, his score was still much higher than that of the previous national champions. Is it shameful to poach such a genius?"
"Being eager to recruit talent is never shameful."
This self-questioning and self-answering is absolutely perfect.
Ke Renyi was so angry he laughed. Too lazy to bother with formalities, he called out Xu Huanzhi by his full name, "Xu Huanzhi, don't pretend you don't know."
"Back then, it was Tsinghua University's admissions office that didn't know how to do things. On the other hand, our Xia Bei's attitude has been very correct from the beginning. We have always hoped that Lin Mo and An Youyu would come to Xia Bei to study, and we have put in a lot of effort for this."
"You Tsinghua University are really something else. You ignored us before, but now you're shamelessly trying to poach our talent from Xiabei. I have a question for you."
Xu Huanzhi asked, "What is it?"
"Do you want face?"
After he finished cursing, Ke Renyi felt refreshed and invigorated.
Facing Qi Bei, as a junior, he could only force a smile.
But Xu Huanzhi is different; everyone is a principal, and no one is lower than anyone else.
If you make me unhappy, I won't let you have it easy either.
Xu Huanzhi was stunned by Ke Renyi's outburst.
Qi Bei, who was sitting to the side, snorted, "Xiao Ke, we are all people of status, don't say such unpleasant things."
"Does it sound bad?"
Ke Renyi laughed, "Elder Qi, I have even harsher things to say next. Would you be interested in hearing them?"
Qi Bei's expression showed a hint of displeasure. "What? You want to curse me, don't you?"
Ke Renyi shook his head, "Old Qi is joking. You are the senior, and I am the junior. How dare a junior scold you?"
The implication is clear: what they said was all the same.
If it weren't for Qi Bei's identity, Ke Renyi would definitely have cursed him.
Qi Bei frowned. "Don't waste time on this useless argument. We agreed on fair competition, so let's begin."
Ke Renyi gave a mocking smile.
fair play?
Who the hell said that?!
Xu Huanzhi sighed, "Although our behavior today was indeed inappropriate, it does not affect our determination to compete for An Youyu and Lin Mo."
This statement can also be translated into another meaning.
Although we are shameless, we are shameless.
"Alright, since we've come this far, then we, Xia Bei, will compete with your Tsinghua University and see who has the last laugh."
Ke Renyi's words signaled the official start of the competition.
Xu Huanzhi took the lead, saying, "Xia Bei will give An Youyu a scholarship of 200,000 yuan per year, and Lin Mo 100,000 yuan; Tsinghua University will treat everyone equally, giving them all 200,000 yuan."
Not to be outdone, Ke Renyi stretched out his right hand, "500,000, Xia Bei will give the two of them a scholarship of 500,000 every year."
In this life, we should strive for pride, not just material gain.
It's true that Xiabei has developed rapidly in recent years, but it has also suffered a lot of indignities from Tsinghua University.
Furthermore, given that Tsinghua University's poaching of talent this time was simply too much, Ke Renyi has temporarily put aside his rationality. At this moment, there is only one principle.
Dry! ! !
The price increase completely stunned Xu Huanzhi. "Principal Ke, shouldn't you reconsider? This amount of scholarship... has never appeared before. We can compete, but there should be limits."
Ke Renyi shrugged. "Never appeared? Sigh, now it has."
Xu Huanzhi: "..."
At the same time, An Youyu secretly tugged at Lin Mo's sleeve.
Lin Mo asked, leaning closer to her ear, "Are you starving?"
"No."
