71: Ouyang Huan was slapped in the face

Out of prudence, Shi Li did not immediately agree to sign a letter of intent with Jiangnan University.

When he walked out of the office, he found that there were only a few students left in the hall.

Since he was the last person to be interviewed in Office 1, Office 2 and Office 3 had already finished their work before him.

However, what made Shi Li a little puzzled was that the few people who remained seemed to be extraordinary.

Besides Fang Jinghai and Ouyang Huan, whom he knew, the rest were all top talents from various cities, all of them at the Platinum rank.

“How was it?”

Seeing Shi Li come out, Fang Jinghai asked with concern.

The contents of the agreement were not a secret, so Shi Li told him everything.

“The terms they offered you are exactly the same as mine, except they added an extra condition for you.”

Fang Jinghai didn't seem surprised.

In fact, it wasn't just him; everyone else who was called into Office 1 received the same terms.

Only the top three in the hunt were exceptions.

The second and third-place students were offered A+ level treatment and an independent bonus of 800,000.

Ouyang Huan even received the top-tier S-level treatment, with an independent bonus of up to 1,500,000.

“So, did you sign? Also, what are you all doing here?”

Shi Li asked in return.

“Of course not; none of us signed.”

Fang Jinghai looked at him with some surprise: “Don't you know?”

“Know what?”

“After the interviews with Jiangnan University, it's time for the interviews with Tsinghua University and Peking University.”

Fang Jinghai thought about it and realized that Shi Li wasn't even a Platinum card player, so he naturally wouldn't have any expectations for this.

No expectations, so naturally he wouldn't pay attention.

“Theoretically, every trial participant who enters Office 1 has the possibility of receiving a proposal from the Four Famous Universities.

So everyone usually waits until this stage is over before making their final choice.”

So he explained.

Some people present secretly shook their heads at Fang Jinghai's explanation.

In their opinion, explaining to Shi Li was completely useless.

Because even Fang Jinghai himself knew that it was only “theoretically” and “possibly.”

The selection criteria for Tsinghua University and Peking University have always been more stringent than those of Jiangnan University.

Throughout the years, it has been a high probability Event to receive a proposal from Jiangnan University but not from Tsinghua University and Peking University.

Most of the people present had no confidence, and an “anomaly” like Shi Li, who was only Gold 5 and hadn't achieved card resonance, naturally had even less hope.

Being able to get one proposal from Jiangnan University was already quite lucky.

Still hoping for proposals from Tsinghua University and Peking University?

Forget about it.

Of course, these were their personal thoughts and were not presumptuously spoken aloud.

“Students, please proceed to the corresponding offices in order when your names are called.”

Not long after, the broadcast sounded again.

“I’ve had a sentiment for Huaguang since I was a child; even if they don't want to give me a proposal, I will get in with my college entrance examination scores.”

“I prefer Dayuan by the sea; I heard there’s an underwater foreign land there.”

“Anyway, as long as it's one of the Four Famous Universities, I’ll accept whoever gives me a proposal.”

The crowd gradually began to discuss.

However, they knew that rushing was useless; they could only wait.

Because just like before, the order in which names were called represented the school's level of importance.

Undoubtedly, Tsinghua University and Peking University would certainly call Ouyang Huan first.

Jiangnan University might not have enough strength, but the Four Famous Universities definitely had the capital to compete for the top genius of Jiangnan Province this year.

“Student Ouyang Huan, please proceed to the Huaguang office.”

“Student Ouyang Huan, please proceed to the Beijng office.”

Sure enough, the broadcast announced it.

“If I could also be fought over by Tsinghua University and Peking University, then my life would be worth it.”

“Now it’s Ouyang Huan’s turn to choose.”

“I wonder which school’s office he will go to first?”

The students began to whisper.

Amidst their discussions, Ouyang Huan smiled and stood up.

To be honest, his connection with Liguang University was only just beginning to take shape.

It was not yet fully confirmed.

So he was genuinely a little interested in what kind of conditions Tsinghua University and Peking University would offer to recruit him.

If they were truly sincere, he might actually consider it.

“Ouyang, which one of Tsinghua University and Peking University do you prefer?”

At this moment, someone with a closer relationship asked.

“Which one?”

Ouyang Huan smiled slightly upon hearing this.

Regarding this question, he actually already had the most direct answer.

Ouyang Huan: “I prefer Dayuan University.”

Broadcast: “Student Shi Li, please proceed to the Qingchuan office.”

Broadcast: “Student Shi Li, please proceed to the Dayuan office.”

Ouyang Huan: “?”

Everyone: “??? ” xN

No one had ever thought that Tsinghua University and Peking University would not all choose Ouyang Huan first.

And no one had ever thought that Qingchuan and Dayuan’s first choice would actually be Shi Li!

After realizing what happened, Ouyang Huan’s expression became quite ugly.

This damned broadcast, would it kill it to announce a few seconds earlier?

He had just finished saying he wanted to choose Dayuan, and then Dayuan turned around and chose someone else!

Isn’t this just making me lose face!

But what made Ouyang Huan even angrier was yet to come.

Because he felt that Shi Li seemed to glance at him indistinctly, and then walked towards the Qingchuan office!

Dayuan, which he wanted to choose, chose someone else, and that person didn't even choose Dayuan.

This was somewhat adding insult to injury.

Soon, Shi Li walked into Qingchuan’s office.

This was his first time seeing the inspection team from Qingchuan University.

A man and a woman sat on either side, with a bespectacled woman in the middle.

“Student Shi Li, I am Hu Lan.

I presume your principal has already mentioned me to you.”

Hu Lan smiled.

“Hello, Teacher Hu; you know our principal?”

Shi Li was slightly stunned.

What’s going on?

“Is that so? So he didn’t mention it.”

Hu Lan became curious: “Then why, between Qingchuan and Dayuan, did you unhesitatingly choose Qingchuan?”

The time interval from when the broadcast sounded to when Shi Li walked into the office indicated that he had no hesitation.

This question also attracted the attention of the two people next to her, and their ears perked up.

Actually, this question was not easy to answer.

Firstly, knowing how to belittle the other three schools was a basic skill for someone from Qingchuan.

If Shi Li answered this question well, it might become a bonus point.

But if he spoke too excessively or too falsely, it would easily leave a bad impression of being glib or flattering.

However, Shi Li didn't think that much; his answer was very honest.

“Because I can’t swim.”

“...” x3

This answer was something the three of them had never expected.

“Hahahaha, good, good!”

But it was clear that Hu Lan was quite pleased.

“Then, let’s get down to business.”
