Chapter 647: Seize the Opportunity
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
President Mu did not care what the students of Hua University and President Shi were thinking. He smiled and asked Wu Yuanbo, “Tan Mo has agreed to be a teacher. Although she will just be an assistant teacher in the beginning, with her capabilities, it won’t take too long for her to earn respect from the students. So, have you decided to stay?”
“Of course!” Wu Yuanbo nodded without any further thinking.
President Mu nodded, gratified by his response.
Chris’s face grew colder.
To be honest, when Wu Yuanbo said he had to consider whether to stay at Chris’s school, he had been irritated by him, because he didn’t agree as readily as Liu Yidi. After all, West Ocean University of Technology, the third most powerful university in the world, invited Wu Yuanbo, and he wanted to consider it first!
But now, after Wu Yuanbo heard that Tan Mo would work at Beijing university as a teacher, he agreed to stay there as well without even considering it. So, Wu Yuanbo felt that the entire West Ocean University of technology was no match for Tan Mo?
Chris took a cold glance at Tan Mo in disdain.
Tan Mo only got a full score in the competition. Maybe she was a talent, but how could it be possible that she was as smart as the famous scientists of West Ocean University of Technology?
“Short-sighted suckers.” Chris mocked Wu Yuanbo in disdain.
Hearing this, Tan Mo raised her eyebrows. She didn’t expect Chris to be so good at Chinese. Not only could he speak it, but he also speak it fluently.
“Have you decided?” Chris asked Wu Yuanbo in a cold voice, “It’s still not too late for you to make the right decision now. But if you let this opportunity slip, you will regret it in the future. We will cancel our invitation, and you have to apply for our college yourself. By that time, I will not be able to guarantee your admission.”
Wu Yuanbo had long been displeased with Chris’s attitude towards him. He couldn’t help but think of those seniors who had received these guys’ invitations to study abroad. Were they treated in the same manner at that time?
If they had always been the representatives over these years, it was very likely that his assumption was right.
Wu Yuanbo ignored what Chris said and asked President Mu, “President Mu, every year these representatives will come here, right?”
Wu Yuanbo couldn’t even believe that this was an invitation.
“How could this be an invitation?” wondered Wu Yuanbo as he thought of Chris’s attitude towards him.
President Mu paused for a little while, but he immediately understood what Wu Yuanbo meant. He smiled and nodded, sadness and relief filling his eyes. “Yeah, they do.”
Wu Yuanbo didn’t say anything else, but President Mu had already known what Wu Yuanbo was implying.
These representatives had such an impolite attitude towards students, but they still agreed to study at their college. Was this college really good … enough?
Only then did Wu Yuanbo remember to answer Chris. He said, “I won’t regret it, and I won’t apply for your college, either.”
“Well, good for you!” Chris forced a smile in anger and nodded repeatedly, “You have a big ego, don’t you? But remember, youngster, you have just given up your future. If you are lucky enough to meet with the students who study at our college in the future, you will know what you missed today due to your arrogance. And you will also know that arrogance is worthless!”
Chris said arrogantly, “However, if you give up this opportunity, you will give up the chance to see the bigger world. In the future, you will have to stay here as an ordinary person. In that case, I don’t think you will have the chance to meet with those students.”
“We don’t know if we can meet with those students,” tan mo said, “but we are sure that we will never, ever, meet with you again.”
It occurred to Chris that Tan Mo had said before that she would contact the school.
Chris took a look at Tan Mo with intense hatred. Were it not for her, Wu Yuanbo might not have refused his invitation. He was worried that he wasn’t able to bring a single student back to West Ocean University of Technology this time. His leaders would think that he was incompetent and couldn’t even deal with such a small problem.
Chris took a deep breath and said to the students who hadn’t received the invitation before, “Now, there are two places left at our college. As per the ranking, the students in fourth and fifth place, do you want to study at West Ocean University of Technology?”
Unfortunately, the students in fourth and fifth place were students from Beijing University as well. They had known that the exercises they had done before were designed by Tan Mo. They were very curious about what it would be like to study with her. Seeing that Wu Yuanbo also refused the invitation, they decided to follow Tan Mo.
They hesitated for a moment. The student in fourth place gritted his teeth and said, “I will stay at Beijing University, too.”
The student in fifth place voiced out bluntly, “West Ocean University of Technology didn’t admit me in the first place. You want me to submit my application according to the conventional procedures. I’m not qualified to get your invitation, so even if there’s a place left this time, I won’t accept it. I won’t go to West Ocean University of Technology. I believe that I will be able to learn whatever I want at Beijing University.”
Chris continued to ask a few more students from Beijing University, but they all refused his invitation.
Du Zeyang and Chi Xuanzi had also won medals this time, but they both had lower rankings. They were the last students to be asked by Chris.
Both of them shook their heads.
“I’m better off learning from Mohism. If there’s anything that I don’t understand, she’ll explain it to me clearly,” Chi Xuanzi said.
Chris didn’t expect that all the students from Beijing University would refuse his invitation.
For the sake of their so-called egos, they even gave up such a good opportunity.
“Stupid!” Chris thought.
“Looks like no one wants to accept the invitation.” Chris did not want to continue asking. At this point, he had already known that he was asking for humiliation here.
“Can I?” A boy raised his hand.
A moment later, another girl raised her hand. “Me, too.”
When the rest of the students saw this, they all raised their hands. But after all, their actions were not as fast as the two students.
Chris nodded and said, “Alright, this boy and that girl, congratulations.”
After saying that, Chris glanced at the others and said flatly, “When the opportunity comes, you have to seize it. Giving up your opportunity is too foolish. Also, I want you to know that I have the final say on your admission. If you have good grades, you will be admitted to our college. But even if one’s grades are not that good, I will give him or her a chance to get admitted to our school, as long as I want to.”
Kris was telling the truth. For example, those two students’ grades were average, but he could still give them chances.
Although Chris didn’t say it out loud, everyone understood what he meant.
Those two students’ faces blushed with embarrassment. They also felt a little bit guilty. But they thought it was OK. After all, they had gotten the opportunity.
As for President Shi, his face was ashen. These two students were both from Hua University. And the students who had followed them and raised their hands were also from Hua University.
President Shi did not expect that none of his students chose Hua University. As long as there was a chance, all of them would choose another school. What’s more, they were in front of the students from Beijing University.
What a shame!
Chris snorted contemptuously. He turned around and walked out.
The other three representatives had not completed the mission that they came for. After all, who would have known that no students would choose them this time?
