At noon, when school had just ended, Gu Mang handed her written assignments to the class representative and got ready for lunch. The phone in her pocket rang and it was from an unknown caller.
She paused. She took her baseball cap from the table and walked towards the front entrance of the classroom. Then, she picked up the call.
The other party spoke first in very formal Mandarin. "Hi, is this Gu Mang?"
Gu Mangโs tone was insipid. "Yes, speaking."
The other party said, "I am the Dean of the Department of Business Administration of M University. Iโm wondering if you would be available to make some time. Can we meet?"
M University was one of the best universities in country K, ranking among the top ten universities in the world all year round. Their Business Administration department was world famous and countless students dreamed of attending classes there.
Just as Qin Yaozhi had predicted, they had come early.
Meng Jinyang and the others waited at the front door and when Gu Mang came out, they were about to talk but when their eyes fell on her phone, they held back. ๐ฏ๐ง๐ฎ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฃ๐๐๐๐ต.๐ฌ๐ธ๐
Gu Mang habitually put her arm across Meng Jinyangโs shoulder. Then, they turned and went downstairs.
She lowered her voice and replied, "I am not interested in majoring in Business Administration."
There was silence on the phone for a few seconds and the dean laughed apologetically. "Oh, we didnโt inquire clearly in advance and we were unaware of what your desired major was. The other departments of our school also have very good teaching resources."
Three professors of M University were surrounding the dean and one of them was a man of power who could make big decisions. They all gathered around to listen into the phone conversation.
But for ten seconds, Gu Mang did not make a sound.
If Gu Mang were only the top performer on the national joint exam this time, she might not have been in such high demand by the top universities. But at the age of seven, she became the first to score a perfect score on the national joint exams.
The several professors frowned anxiously and said in a low voice, "Give her free tuition and give her a stipend of 50,000 yuan a month. She can use any of the resources at our school."
