146: It is better to obey orders than to be respectful
He Ming's mouth instantly gaped wide enough to swallow two eggs, and he fell into a daze.
What did he hear?
The presidents of Kyoto University, Huaqing University, Wufang University, and Aerospace University, along with the president of the Ecological Science and Technology Institute, personally came to invite his good brother to enroll?
Was he dreaming?
His dazed gaze moved back and forth between the presidents and Lin Yang, his mind somewhat crashing.
Other passersby in the hotel lobby who were eating or watching the spectacle were also completely stunned!
The annual scramble for students after the college entrance examination was not new, but it was unheard of for several presidents to personally come to snatch a student.
And now, their small place had simultaneously welcomed the presidents of the most prestigious universities in the country!
For the locals, Liu Songzhou and the others were big figures only seen on television news!
Yet now, they stood truly before them, and with extremely humble postures, invited the young man in front of them to join their respective universities!
This simply felt unreal!
The security guards who were originally preparing to approach to break up the fight also stopped in their tracks, too scared to move any closer.
Regarding the self-introductions of Liu Songzhou and the others, almost no one present questioned them.
Because they were followed by staff from their respective universities' local admissions offices!
Not to mention that photos of Liu Songzhou and others frequently appearing at various events could often be seen in the news, just the local admissions office personnel were not strangers to those who frequently entered and exited the Royal Palace Hotel.
So, in an instant, the entire hotel lobby quieted down.
Everyone looked at Lin Yang with shock.
It was simply incredible that several presidents would personally come to snatch a student!
Lin Yang, however, frowned slightly, looking at Liu Songzhou and the others who were introducing themselves one by one, feeling a bit speechless.
He had only asked Zhao Zizhen to find any university in Kyoto to send him an admission notice so that he would have a reason to go to the imperial capital.
But he didn't expect Zhao Zizhen to directly have the presidents of these universities personally come to invite him!
This was quite something.
They were all the top universities in the country; choosing one and not another would easily disappoint the others!
Looking at the eager gazes of Liu Songzhou and the others, Lin Yang sighed slightly in his heart.
Clearly, these presidents should have known his true identity.
Otherwise, given their status and position, it would be impossible for them to come personally.
"Judging by how dusty you all look, you probably haven't had lunch yet, have you? How about we eat first and then talk?"
After a pause, Lin Yang spoke.
Since several presidents had personally rushed over, it was really not good to refuse them casually.
Moreover, he also understood that Zhao Zizhen and Ye Guhong were probably afraid of being accused by these people of being biased, so they simply handed the choice over to him.
"Ah?"
Liu Songzhou and the others were first stunned when they heard Lin Yang's words, then they exchanged glances and smiled: "Since Lin is inviting, then we respectfully accept. We indeed haven't eaten after running around all morning."
These words immediately caused everyone in the hotel lobby to look at each other.
All of them had expressions of shock as if they had seen a ghost!
One must know that with the status of Liu Songzhou and others, countless people usually wished to invite them to dinner but were not qualified.
Now, they all agreed because of a single sentence from Lin Yang.
This was simply unimaginable!
This was not just inviting one president to dinner, but inviting several presidents simultaneously. How much face would that require?
Everyone couldn't imagine it at all.
He Ming had just barely recovered, but he was stunned again upon hearing this.
He stared blankly at Lin Yang, feeling as if he didn't recognize his good brother at that moment.
Xie Lin and the others by the elevator entrance seemed to be frozen in place, as if by something, even though the elevator had arrived, they couldn't move their feet.
The atmosphere in the hotel lobby was unprecedentedly strange.
Lin Yang, however, turned to the hotel staff and asked, "Are there any private rooms available? We don't have a reservation."
Since the presidents had agreed to eat, it wouldn't be good to actually eat in the lobby.
Given their status, they needed some privacy.
However, before the staff could answer, a middle-aged man jogged over, excitedly saying:
"Yes, yes, yes! Royal Palace Hotel welcomes the two Classmates and the presidents for your valuable presence! Your arrival is an honor for our entire hotel! Please follow me, the private room on the top floor has been prepared for you!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yang turned to look at the middle-aged man's name tag.
It stated that he was the General Manager of the Royal Palace Hotel, surnamed Yang.
"Manager Yang, you are too kind. We are just having a casual meal, no need for too good a private room."
Lin Yang glanced at Liu Songzhou and the others, emphasizing the point.
These individuals had special identities; if their lunch was too luxurious, it would inevitably cause a bad impression if word got out.
Manager Yang immediately said, "Understood, understood, please follow me!"
Then, he personally led the way, guiding Lin Yang and the others into the VIP elevator channel to go upstairs.
And as they entered the elevator, the group passed by Xie Lin and his companions, and it was clear that Xie Lin and the others trembled all over, instinctively making way for them.
From beginning to end, Lin Yang did not spare them another glance.
And after Lin Yang and the presidents entered the elevator, it was several minutes before gasps of cold air suddenly echoed through the lobby.
"My goodness, what is the identity of that Classmate just now? How can he make several presidents of Huaqing University personally come to snatch him?"
"He must be a peerless genius. I really didn't expect such a genius to appear in our city; it's truly a great honor!"
"Hahaha, this meal today was worth it. Seeing such a grand scene, I'll have something to boast about when I go back!"
"Oh, if only my rebellious son could have such treatment!"
"You really dare to dream!"
"Haha, exactly. Forget about several university presidents personally coming to snatch him; even if just one came, it would be like our ancestral grave smoking with good fortune!"
The crowd in the lobby discussed with profound shock.
Although some people also wanted to take the opportunity to ask for a business card, the thought of the identities of Liu Songzhou and the others immediately scared them away.
Everyone's gaze also drifted, intentionally or unintentionally, over Xie Lin and his companions.
Just now, Xie Lin and his companions' mocking words towards Lin Yang were still vivid in their minds, and now the situation had taken a massive 360-degree turn.
Although their status would not allow them to say anything directly, just those seemingly absent gazes made Xie Lin and the others feel uncomfortable all over, and then they didn't even dare to eat, and a group of people scurried out of the Royal Palace Hotel.
At the same time, just as Lin Yang and the others entered the private room to eat, the Classmate spaceship successfully returned.
The plant seeds and unique lunar resources it brought back shocked the worldwide!
