Chapter 51: Zhu Yu's Reflections: Three Days Apart, One Should Look with Fresh Eyes (Begging for Flowers, Favorites, and Review Tick
Lijiang City No. 2 High School.
The sixth floor of the Academic Affairs Building, the VIP reception room.
By now, the originally spacious black round table was already fully seated.
Zhu Yu from Hancheng University, Li Bing from Chuannan University, Wang Yuan from Anji University—quite a few familiar faces among them.
"Three days apart, one should really look at someone with fresh eyes."
Seated at the table, Zhu Yu, whose features were quite fair, swept her gaze around the room, her eyes lingering briefly on the three imposing figures at the very front, her tone full of emotion.
Back then, when Zhou Yi said he was going to challenge the three top-tier schools, people from the other three schools all thought he was being arrogant.
Only she felt Zhou Yi had real courage, that he carried a driven energy about him, which left her with a rather favorable impression.
But although she greatly admired Zhou Yi's courage, that didn't mean she was optimistic about him.
On the contrary, she wasn't optimistic about Zhou Yi's performance on the college entrance exam either.
In the end, she hadn't expected that not only would he perform brilliantly on the exam, he had even snatched the Suhang Province top scorer title!!
Now not only had a few of those familiar faces from the other schools shown up.
Even the three top-tier universities, usually so aloof, had caught wind of it and sent admissions teachers over.
"Who says otherwise?"
Li Bing from Chuannan University beside her chimed in as well, smiling bitterly:
"If only I'd known Zhou Yi would go on to claim the provincial top scorer later, I shouldn't have left so quickly back then!
Otherwise, I wouldn't be in such a passive position now."
Back then, when he and Wang Yuan from Anji University heard Zhou Yi was going to take on the three top-tier universities, they hadn't given him a pleasant look either and had left directly.
If he had stayed a bit longer back then, like Zhu Yu did, he might have left behind a good impression.
"We're still considered the lucky ones."
Wang Yuan from Anji University tilted his chin toward a middle-aged man seated not far away:
"Rongyang University's higher-ups heard that Zhao Tianfu was not only the first to leave during the first round of admissions, but also berated Zhou Yi for not knowing the height of the heavens and the depth of the earth."
They were absolutely furious—his nose was practically crooked with rage. Not only did they dock a year's salary, they also replaced him with a new admissions teacher.
See, that's their new admissions teacher."
"A year's salary docked, and his admissions teacher status revoked too—that's a pretty heavy punishment."
Zhu Yu was somewhat surprised.
After all, although most university teachers earned money by hunting magical beasts and selling materials,
salary income still made up a sizable portion of their total earnings, and suddenly losing a year's pay was no small loss.
Moreover, as an admissions teacher, each recruitment cycle would earn them an additional hardship allowance.
Now that his qualifications had been revoked halfway through, that hardship allowance was most likely forfeit as well.
"Who says otherwise? But what he said back then really was too harsh."
Wang Yuan shook his head and did not say more.
Judging by the normal trajectory of events, what Zhao Tianfu had said back then, apart from being a bit harsh, wasn't really a problem.
But who could have known Zhou Yi was such a monster—he went and actually grabbed the Suhang Province top scorer title.
If his results had been a bit worse, only top ten in the province, the punishment for Zhao Tianfu probably wouldn't have been so severe.
With all the TOP10 universities arriving at once, as principal, Luo Heng was also bustling about inside the VIP reception room, not daring to rest for a single moment.
Of course, his primary focus of service was still the three people at the very front of the round table.
These three were, respectively, Su Mei from Suhang University, Sun Rui from Qingjing University, and Cai Tianyun from Modu University.
"Zhou Yi, our Modu University has already claimed him. You two might as well head back early."
Cai Tianyun was a burly middle-aged man, his tone of speech extremely domineering.
"You've claimed him? Did you ask our Qingjing University first?"
Sun Rui beside him, with her brows sharply raised, was equally unyielding.
"Heh, what's the point of you two arguing now? When Zhou Yi arrives later, won't it still come down to each school's own methods?"
The voluptuous beauty from Suhang University, Su Mei, stretched lazily in her chair, her form-fitting instructor's uniform instantly outlining a breathtaking curve.
Cai Tianyun and Sun Rui snorted coldly at her words, then fell silent.
Indeed, special admissions ultimately depended on each school's own methods; no matter how fierce the argument now, it was pointless.
Inside the entire VIP reception room, all the TOP10 universities had arrived.
However, when the three argued, they seemed not to have taken the other seven schools into account at all.
At this, the admissions teachers from the other seven schools didn't find it unexpected.
After all, the three top-tier universities held transcendent status, with deep and profound foundations.
They had come not to compete with these three top-tier universities for Zhou Yi, but to get acquainted.
This made Principal Luo, who had been accompanying them all along, sigh with emotion.
Truly worthy of the three top-tier universities—this aura was something ordinary TOP10 universities simply couldn't match.
Inside the VIP reception room, the admissions teachers of the Meidengyi Society had not waited long.
When they heard a swish, the sliding door of the conference room opened.
A sturdy, tall figure walked in, led by the principal's secretary.
This person was none other than Zhou Yi.
The moment he stepped into the reception room,
over a dozen gazes instantly focused on him.
Though Zhou Yi looked young on the outside, dressed in a suit-like coat, he still radiated an austere and composed air.
Whether it was the glory of being the provincial top scorer, or the confidence brought by the S+ talent Sacred Angel Guardian.
Both made his already extraordinary temperament even more exceptional.
"What a fine appearance!"
Su Mei, sitting right in the middle, couldn't help but praise, such temperament and looks, combined with that formidable strength.
Once he entered university, who knew how many seniors and junior girls he would enchant.
Moreover, the teachers present were all at least Level 35 professionals.
Although everyone deliberately restrained their aura.
The pressure of so many people focusing on the same person at once was also extremely terrifying.
Under such circumstances, Zhou Yi was still able to keep his expression unchanged, which was truly no easy feat.
Everyone here was a high-tier professional; Su Mei could see this point, and naturally everyone else could see it too.
Thus, at this very first meeting, Zhou Yi left an impression of composure and confidence in everyone's mind.
"Zhou Yi, you're here."
"Come, let me introduce you — these are the teachers from the various universities..."
Principal Luo immediately stepped forward, introducing with a smile.
Under his introduction, Zhou Yi quickly learned the identities of the many teachers.
These were all admissions teachers from the TOP 10 universities.
And the three at the very front were precisely the admissions teachers from the three top-tier universities.
"Hello, teachers."
Zhou Yi said respectfully.
