Chapter 46

As a top domestic institution, Old Zheng, who is the principal, can say he has seen far too many talents.

Even the school itself has many top Academicians, and the school's strength is also recognized domestically.

Although it cannot compare to those few top institutions in the public eye, in certain areas, especially in the military-industrial field, Harbin Institute of Technology can be said to be second to none.

But even so, a talent like Li Mingyang is still the first such person Old Zheng has ever seen.

In just nine months, he went straight from being an elementary-school student who could only score over 300 points to becoming the provincial top scorer.

His raw score broke through 700 points, reaching a full 704, and he rightfully took the throne of the Provincial College Entrance Exam Top Scorer.

You should know that on their list, the second place was only 695 points, while Li Mingyang actually had a full 724 points.

Although this includes 20 points of ethnic preferential treatment, doesn't that 695 also have it?

Such talent should belong to their Harbin Institute of Technology, and Old Zheng has already made up his mind—no matter what price he has to pay, even if he incurs many favors.

Li Mingyang must come to their Harbin Institute of Technology; this is their chance for Harbin Institute of Technology to rise!

Although saying this feels a bit exaggerated, Old Zheng just has this vague premonition.

People say the end of science is mysticism; although Old Zheng doesn't highly endorse that saying, he still relatively believes in this kind of vague feeling.

After all, according to his own experience, even those few top Academicians at the school often achieve technical breakthroughs precisely because of this inexplicable feeling.

……

It must be said that Harbin Institute of Technology still has considerable prestige; that very afternoon, a plane belonging to Harbin Institute of Technology landed at Liangcheng's airport.

Although this is only a small airport, fortunately Harbin Institute of Technology's plane is also a small plane.

Plus, with the swiftly approved flight route, President Zheng's efficiency reached the extreme.

Then came contacting the locally arranged vehicle, which had already been waiting at the airport early on; after getting off the plane, not even a moment was wasted, and they headed straight for Li Mingyang's home.

……

"So... President Zheng, you came all this way just to recruit me to study at Harbin Institute of Technology?"

After hearing the description from the white-haired President Zheng before him, even Li Mingyang couldn't help feeling somewhat shocked.

As the Principal of the mighty Harbin Institute of Technology, even though his administrative rank is not low, Li Mingyang still remembers that during a certain special period before his rebirth, Harbin Institute of Technology made those domineering statements.

The opening line is simply "My unit," which should be the only university in the whole country capable of such a unique opening, right?

And now, President Zheng, as the principal of this school, has actually traveled ten thousand miles to his own hometown just for this student of his.

To say one wouldn't be moved is definitely impossible, after all, the ancient saying goes: "A scholar dies for those who know him."

Although Li Mingyang doesn't harbor such exaggerated feelings in his heart, his inner choice has already subtly leaned toward Harbin Institute of Technology.

"Student Li, you must believe our school is very sincere; as long as you, Student Li, come to study at our school."

"As the school's Principal, I can now guarantee that first, the integrated bachelor's-master's-doctorate program is definitely no problem."

"Second, I can promise you, Student, that no matter what Professional you wish to major in, I can arrange an Academician to be your teacher."

"Even your regular courses, Student Li, you can arrange yourself; just passing the final exam is enough."

"All you need to do is follow the Academician and study well; once your level is up, whether it's bachelor's, master's, or doctorate, you can graduate at any time."

"Besides that, Harbin Institute of Technology can also provide Student Li with an independent dormitory."

"For your experimental expenses during your time at school, our school will certainly try to provide them as much as possible under feasible conditions."

"Like this, to show our school's sincerity, during your studies we will give you a guaranteed annual research fund of 500,000."

"This is only the minimum; if you, Student Li, can produce results, or if what you produce can convince your future teachers,"

"Then these research funds can be given even more."

Upon hearing these, Li Mingyang's heart was already greatly moved; although the name of the nation's top institution sounds good, the other side absolutely could not offer such conditions.

After all, the other side is used to being arrogant; a mere provincial top scorer? They have dozens of such people every year.

But if one could obtain these conditions offered by Harbin Institute of Technology, it would undoubtedly be very advantageous for one's university studies.

Not only the research funds, but what most moves Li Mingyang is also the condition of having an Academician as a teacher.

You should know that as an Academician, those big shots usually take on students starting at the doctorate level; but if one enters Harbin Institute of Technology to study, even as merely an undergraduate, one can have an Academician as a teacher.

This will definitely allow one to avoid many detours on one's future path!

So upon hearing this, Li Mingyang wanted to directly and decisively agree, because after all, if he missed this shop, he would never again have such good conditions.

However, before Li Mingyang could speak, President Zheng slapped his thigh and gave another shocking promise:

"Student Li, I also understand the current policies; I know that if you choose the country's two top schools, you will definitely receive rewards."

"Whether it's the school's rewards, the government's rewards, or some corporate rewards, these rewards added together are absolutely a considerable sum."

"But if you choose our school, this is undoubtedly a considerable loss for you."

"Therefore, as Principal, I hereby promise that if you, Student Li, can come to study at our school, our school can guarantee a one-time payment of a 1,000,000 scholarship!"

"Although it may not be as much as the combined rewards from choosing those two top schools, this is already the maximum sincerity our school can offer."

"After all, you know that every penny of the school's funds must have a specific use; being able to take out this much already requires me to strive as much as possible."

"That's all our school's conditions; if you, Student Li, think they're suitable, then welcome to come study at our school."

"If you think they're unsuitable, whether later when taking the graduate entrance exam or pursuing a doctorate, the doors of our Harbin Institute of Technology are always open for you, Student."

After saying that, President Zheng sat on the sofa silently, silently sipping the tea from the disposable cup in front of him.

Quietly waiting for Li Mingyang's response.

"This..."

After hearing these conditions, Li Mingyang almost fell into a daze, with a few big words echoing in his mind... "Do I deserve this?"

But after coming to his senses, Li Mingyang decisively nodded in agreement, just as he said before—if he missed this shop, he would no longer have such conditions.

Compared to the illusory prestige of top universities, Li Mingyang prefers the tangible benefits right before his eyes.

Although feeling that in this reborn life he didn't get to attend the nation's top institution, he feels somewhat regretful.

But there's nothing to be done—who made Harbin Institute of Technology give him so much?

I must say, President Zheng is still quite good at judging people; in an instant he picked out someone like me, a cheat player, from the myriad of people.
