Seeing that Nie Mi was indifferent, he could only cover his face, stand there, and say with a headache, “I heard that the admissions teachers of Nanjing University and C University have all arrived in First High School…”
“She didn’t go to school again,” Nie Mi said, unsurprised.
The Principal of Qing University was speechless. He paused for a second, still not at ease. “If she goes to school first… Besides, even if she doesn’t, those people will still find a way to get her phone number and call and text her incessantly. If we sit here any longer, she’s going to be taken away! You have always wanted her as your student, right? If she doesn’t come to Qing University…”
The last half of the sentence was a little bit like ‘we are all grasshoppers on the same boat, and everyone will go down together if the boat capsizes’.
Nie Mi put down the teapot and glanced at him. He poured out the water in the teacup calmly, then said quietly, “If she doesn’t come to Qing University, I can go to that other school to be an honorary professor in the music department. Anyway, it’s the same, I’ll still be a teacher.”
The principal of Qing University was speechless.
He felt attacked but could not rebuke.
There were only two honorary professors in Qing University. If they lost a genius student with perfect scores, and also their honorary professor, they could just die.
“I’m joking.” Nie Mi did not really think that way. Seeing that he was anxious and getting angry, he sighed, poured him a cup of tea, turned his head, and said, “Actually, you don’t have to be so anxious. Even if those people go to school to try to stop her from leaving, they surely won’t succeed.”
The principal of Qing University sat down opposite him, unable to be as calm and composed as him. He picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and then put down the cup. He expressed his worry. “I’m not afraid of them stopping her, I’m afraid…”
“Afraid of what?”
“…I’m afraid that those people will offer better conditions and poach her from us. It’s precisely because I’m worried about it that I followed you to Rao City. But now you’re just sitting here having your tea, and I’m the only one anxious.”
That was the truth.
He dragged Nie Mi to Rao City, thinking that Nie Mi and Qiao Nian had a good relationship, so he could help him thread the needle in the middle.
Who knew that when they got off the plane, Nie Mi first said that he would come to the hotel to put his luggage. He then said that he didn’t need to go to school. He was thirsty and wanted to make a cup of tea…
If he had known that this would happen, he would have come to Rao City alone and made his way to First High School right away!
It was better than staying in the hotel anxiously.
The more he thought about it, the more he couldn’t sit still. He got up quickly and made up his mind. “Master Nie, you can drink tea slowly in the hotel. I’ll go to First High School to see the situation first.”
“Wait a minute.” Stopping him as he was about to leave, Nie Mi glared at him annoyedly and said angrily, “You used to be a mature and respectful person. You were calmer than anyone else. Why are you so flustered today?”
Dozens of colleges and universities were going for one student, how could he not be flustered!!
Nie Mi glanced at him as if he could see what he was thinking. He put his hand on the table and slowly said, “I have an appointment with Nian Nian to have lunch together at Huanyu Hotel. She will come over to meet us when she’s done.”
“Really?” The principal of Qing University didn’t think that he had an appointment with that girl, and had even set the time and place.
Nie Mi rolled his eyes at him, still very temperamental at his age. “No, not really.”
The principal of Qing University smiled and stopped talking about going to First High School. He came back and sat opposite him, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip slowly, and smiled at the old man opposite him. He gave a thumbs up and complimented him. “The tea that Master Nie makes is so fragrant!”
Tsk, so fragrant!
