My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

"goodbye!"

Qi Yue left with a dark expression.

Lin Mo chuckled and muttered to himself, "If it weren't for making you run errands, there wouldn't even be steamed buns and soy milk..."

Chapter 748 Forging the Glory of Xiabei is Our Duty!

At 7:40 a.m., Lin Mo appeared outside the principal's office and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Hearing the noise, Lin Mo pushed open the door and entered.

As soon as he walked in, he saw Ke Renyi sitting on the sofa making tea, and he sat down opposite him as if they were old friends.

"Principal, I thought you hadn't arrived at school yet."

Ke Renyi glanced at Lin Mo and asked, "Did you need something?"

Lin Mo chuckled, "Nothing much, I just came to ask for a cup of tea, is that alright?"

Ke Renyi wasn't so easily fooled. He rinsed his teacup, poured a cup for Lin Mo, and said directly, "Just say what you have to say. Don't beat around the bush."

"As expected of the principal, the students' little thoughts can't escape your discerning eyes at all."

"Don't flatter me, it gives me the creeps!"

Ke Renyi retorted, "Whenever you try to flatter someone, nothing good ever comes of it."

Lin Mo's face was full of innocence. "Principal, I'm innocent! And I wasn't flattering you just now; it was all from the bottom of my heart."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Ke Renyi couldn't listen anymore. "Are you going to talk or not? If you're not going to talk, then leave."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo chuckled dryly, "Since the principal puts it that way, then I'll speak frankly."

"Say!"

"Didn't we discuss the technology research lab before?"

Under Ke Renyi's watchful gaze, Lin Mo rubbed his hands together expectantly, "Has there been a reply from above?"

"Have."

Ke Renyi's expression was full of helplessness. "I won't lie to you, the higher-ups rejected our application to build a science and technology research lab."

"Refused?"

Lin Mo looked surprised. "That shouldn't be the case! Isn't the higher-ups going to develop science and technology? Our Xia Bei is at least the second-ranked university in the country. Is it too much to ask to build a science and technology research lab?"

"From both a moral and logical standpoint, the higher-ups shouldn't have refused!"

Ke Renyi poured himself a cup of tea, blew on it to cool it down, and took a sip. "They said that Xia Bei's ranking has risen too quickly and we need to take some time to settle down."

"and……"

Ke Renyi paused, successfully piquing Lin Mo's curiosity, who pressed on, "And what?"

Ke Renyi sighed and finished what he hadn't finished saying earlier, "Besides you, all the other members of the Dragon Ranking are at Tsinghua University. The higher-ups don't think it's worth building a technology research lab for a single Dragon Ranking member."

"The mouse is short-sighted!"

"..."

"What a narrow-minded perspective!"

"..."

"Grandma Li's!"

"..."

Seeing that Lin Mo's insults were getting increasingly outrageous, Ke Renyi quickly stopped him, saying, "That's enough."

Lin Mo was furious. "Principal, I don't think I did anything wrong. What do you mean that a member of the Dragon Ranking isn't worth building a technology research lab for?"

"Isn't this looking down on people?"

"Besides, how can the other members of the Dragon Ranking compare to me? What do they have to compare with me? They're just a bunch of trash!"

Ke Renyi: "..."

I haven't seen him for a few days, and this kid's tone has gotten more and more arrogant!

In fact, Lin Mo wasn't bragging; these were his true thoughts. As he became more familiar with Ke Renyi, he stopped being modest in front of him and simply blurted out his innermost thoughts.

He's a cheat code player!

How can anyone compare to him?

Ke Renyi put down his teacup and said earnestly, "Lin Mo, talking big is useless. If you are really good, then produce something to show the higher-ups. If you can demonstrate abilities far exceeding those of other Dragon Ranking members, the higher-ups will naturally value you, and at that time, you will definitely receive a lot of resources."

"Are you going to make something?"

Lin Mo narrowed his eyes into slits, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the coffee table. "It's not necessarily a bad thing."

"Oh?"

Ke Renyi laughed, "So you have an idea? That's good. Don't just talk about dating all day. Do something productive too. If you have talent, make the most of it and don't waste it."

"Principal, I don't agree with what you just said."

"?"

Meeting Ke Renyi's puzzled gaze, Lin Mo solemnly launched into a barrage of six soul-searching questions.

"Who says dating isn't a serious matter?"

How can you get married without dating?

How can you have a child if you don't get married?

How can a country develop if people don't have children?

How can human civilization continue without having children?

"If something as important as dating isn't considered a serious matter, then nothing in the world can be called a serious matter. Do you think what I'm saying makes sense?"

Ke Renyi: "..."

This kid's really good at making things up!

With such eloquence, why don't you participate in a debate competition?

Thinking of the debate competition, he remembered something. "By the way, next week Xiabei and Qingda will jointly host a debate competition. I think you have good eloquence, so I'll give you a spot."

Lin Mo smirked, "Principal, we're discussing whether dating is a serious matter, please don't change the subject."

Ke Renyi was utterly speechless. "Fine, fine, you're right. Dating is the important thing. Is that alright now?"

"It is ok."

"Hey, don't push your luck."

Ke Renyi glared and said, "I'll give you a way out, so take it or I'll beat you up."

The blatant threat left Lin Mo with a helpless, bitter smile. "Fine, you're the principal, you call the shots."

"Remember to participate in the debate competition with Tsinghua University next week. Oh, and tell An Yatou to participate as well."

Lin Mo had four large characters etched on his forehead.

Life is hopeless!

Seeing Lin Mo's expression, Ke Renyi was amused. "Kid, what's with your reaction? It's just a debate competition. You and An are the representatives of Xia Bei now. If you don't go, who will?"

"Principal, have you ever heard of this saying?"

"What?"

"Industry specializing in surgery."

Lin Mo downed the tea in his cup in one gulp. "Xiaoyuer and I know absolutely nothing about debating, and our opponent in this debate is Tsinghua University. If we lose, wouldn't that be embarrassing for the school?"

"Isn't there still a week left?"

Ke Renyi explained, "You and An are so smart, a week is more than enough time for you. Besides, with your current number of fans, whoever is your opponent will be overwhelmed by your momentum. Under these circumstances, victory is just a piece of cake."

"Snapped--"

Hearing Ke Renyi speak so matter-of-factly, Lin Mo slapped his forehead. "Principal, can't we just not go?"

Ke Renyi raised an eyebrow, the threat in his eyes quite obvious. "What do you think?"

Lin Mo scratched his head and nodded reluctantly. "Participating in the debate competition is fine, but let me make this clear beforehand: if we lose, you can't hold me and Xiaoyuer responsible. We will do our best to win, but we can't guarantee the final result."

"This is natural."

Ke Renyi understood perfectly. He got up, walked around the coffee table, and patted Lin Mo on the shoulder. "Don't worry, I'm not that unreasonable. Just do your best."

"That's fine."

Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

Participating in the competition is fine, but you can't demand that you win.

Otherwise, no matter what Ke Renyi said, he would never agree.

Ke Renyi continued the previous topic, "Kid, you just said that making things isn't out of the question, do you have some ideas?"

Lin Mo looked puzzled and asked, half-jokingly, "Principal, why are you so concerned about this matter?"

"You can't afford to be careless!"

A hint of helplessness flashed across Ke Renyi's aged face. "In recent years, Xiabei has developed extremely rapidly. But you should know that no matter how fast an organization develops at the beginning, it will not be able to maintain that speed forever. Eventually, it will enter a period of slowdown."

"The school has now entered a plateau period, but we still have a long way to go before we can surpass Tsinghua University. The best way right now is to break out of this plateau and restart the engine for the rapid development of Xiabei."

As he spoke, Ke Renyi's expression became increasingly serious. "Lin Mo, you and An Yatou are geniuses I have never seen before. At times like these, we need geniuses like you to step forward."

"A genius unlike any other in history?"

Hearing Ke Renyi's description, Lin Mo said cryptically, "Principal, can you please not include me when you praise Xiaoyuer? She's definitely a genius you've never seen before, but as for me, that's another story, isn't it?"

"cough……"
