âYou must be Qiao Nian. Iâve seen your video online. I didnât expect that in person, you look even more...â Teacher Gu smiled but couldnât find the words to complete his sentence.
How should he describe this girl standing before him? When he saw her complete the surgical procedure on the video, he already felt that she was an exceptionally calm and composed person. Now that he saw her in person, he noticed that she didnât have much of a reaction despite knowing they were recruitment teachers from Qing University.
Shouldnât any student be agitated after hearing the words âQing Universityâ?
He thought for a bit and felt that perhaps it was nothing strange for someone this talented and gifted to act so nonchalantly. With that thought, his brows eased and he reached out for a handshake. â... Youâre even prettier than in the video. Nice to meet you, Iâm Gu Qinan.â
Seeing the hospitable smile on his round face, Qiao Nian didnât stick her hand out. Instead, she simply responded briefly, âQiao Nian.â
It wasnât that she did not want to hold his hand. She was simply a clean freak.
Sheâd develop an allergic reaction to it.
But to others, this appeared arrogance.
Liang Lu frowned deeply. She didnât say a word, but she looked extremely unhappy.
This Qiao Nian is too proud!
Gu Qinan, on the other hand, did not think it was much. He retracted his hand and rubbed his nose, then said with a smile, âQiao Nian, weâre here to ask you if youâre interested in studying Medicine.â
Study Medicine? Qiao Nian pursed her lips for a moment as her eyes went deep. Nobody knew what she was thinking. â... Iâm alright.â
She had thought about what to study in the future. Previously, she hadnât been sure. But after what had happened with the kid, she felt that it wasnât a bad idea to study Medicine.
Seeing that she didnât decline right away, Gu Qinan continued, âWe saw your video online and feel that youâre very talented in this field. Itâd be such a pity if you donât pursue it. So, Qiao Nian, what do you think of coming to Qing University to study Medicine?â
He was the only person talking in the principalâs office.
Qiao Chen had been about to leave the room with Qiao Weimin, but upon hearing their conversation, she clenched her fists so hard her skin almost tore.
She recalled the rumors going around in school a while back, about how the professors from Qing University were impressed by the video they watched of her and were coming to First High School to look for her. She hadnât believed it and thought that the Class A students were merely making stories.
Qing University wasnât an ordinary school. There were only ever cases of students who begged and pleaded to get in. When had Qing University made the first move to invite anyone?
So, this wasnât just a rumor? It was true?!
Qiao Chen felt something lodged in her throat. She found it hard to breathe.
Qiao Nian was being scouted by Qing University!
She recalled how sheâd taken such efforts to be offered a confirmed place in Ren Yi. It hadnât been long before it was canceled. Now, she even had to transfer to Fifth High School, which was inferior to First High School in every way... Meanwhile, Qiao Nian was trampling all over her and getting offered a place in Qing University!
Why was it so unfair?!
Qiao Weimin felt upset as well.
He had already regretted his actions utterly when he experienced what happened at Waterside Loft the previous day. Tang Weiâs words thereafter struck him even harder.
Now, he was watching the adoptive daughter he abandoned get offered a place in Qing University. She could possibly develop her career in Beijing in the future; she would have so many opportunities and so much to explore. He felt as if someone was squeezing his heart and trying to gouge it out of him...
