After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me-Chapter 1161: The Battle for Talent Begins

Once the results of the National College Entrance Examination were released, universities across the country quickly sprang into action.

The top 100 scores in each province were still kept confidential, but that didn't stop the universities from already knowing who the top performers were. The battle for top talent began.

Early in the morning, the phones of the Qin family's children were ringing off the hook.

The president of A University called Qin Ren: "Qin, you're already a PhD student at our school, you know exactly what we're capable of. How about we ask your sister to join us here? Then you two will be alumni together. No one else can match the relationship you two have."

It was clear the president had done his homework and knew exactly what would appeal to Qin Ren.

The president of B University called Qin Er: "We've gathered the funds for this year. Let us know when your sister is ready to auction herself off, and make sure you tell us first."

This was based on their previous experience with Qin Er.

Qin Er, after winning the National College Entrance Examination top score, had received calls from multiple universities. He didn't reject anyone but invited them over to his house for a "bidding" event, where he, Qin Dafu, was the prize, awarded to the highest bidder.

The president of B University knew that Zhouzhou, like Qin Er, was obsessed with money. The two had always had a good relationship, and they were sure that the same approach would work with her.

Whether they would win Zhouzhou over, no one could say, but they had definitely managed to win over Qin Er.

He asked the president of B University, "If I help convince Zhouzhou to join B University, is there an introduction fee?"

The president of B University replied, "...Yes!"

Thanks to Qin Er, the president had long wondered if the Qin family was on the verge of bankruptcy. After all, how else could Qin Er be so obsessed with money? During his school years, he did everything to earn extra cash—running stalls, tutoring, even working in the cafeteria. He was willing to do any money-making job and worked harder than anyone else.

Eventually, the president realized it wasn't desperation—it was simply Qin Er's intense love for money.

And frankly, it was no surprise. The way he had earned money was nothing short of impressive. If anyone deserved to be rich, it was him.

But the thought of adding another Qin Dafu to their school made the president shudder in both excitement and mild annoyance. But, considering how well they did in competitions and how much they helped bring prestige to the school, he could tolerate their obsession with money!

Still, he knew he needed to save up a bit more to seal the deal—he had to secure Zhouzhou!

Qin Dong also received a call from the dean of the medical school: "Qin Dong, does your sister have any interest in studying forensic medicine? Talking to corpses sounds like fun."

At that moment, Qin Dong was dissecting a corpse. Without batting an eye, he responded, "Zhouzhou can summon spirits, she could just call up the soul of the corpse and have it talk for itself."

The dean shivered at the thought, having heard rumors about Zhouzhou's abilities in this area. He swallowed nervously and said, "What about other areas of medicine? Our school's traditional Chinese medicine program is top-notch. If she's interested, I can fast-track her into the doctoral program."

Qin Dong responded indifferently, "Liu Hanqiu is her student."

The dean was taken aback, "???"

Now even more excited, he asked, "Would she consider teaching here?"

Qin Dong: "..."

Even Qin Xi received a call from the police academy: "I heard your sister is great at fighting—let her come to our police academy. It's the perfect place to use those skills."

Qin Xi waved dismissively, "She's already put her skills into practice."

"Really? How so?"

"She can pinpoint exactly where criminals are, otherwise, where do you think all those trophies on my wall came from?"

The police academy instructor: "..."

He had always suspected Qin Xi's abilities were a little too good to be true—now he knew it was all thanks to Zhouzhou.

Even Qin Bei got a call from the drama academy: "Does your sister have any interest in acting? She's so beautiful; it'd be a shame if she doesn't act. Could you convince her to join us?"

Qin Bei thought for a moment, then said, "Sure, but she told me she can't go unless I go with her. So, if you accept me, she'll join too."

The instructor: "..."

Grandpa Qin, Grandma Qin, and Qin Lie were also inundated with calls.

Finally, Zhouzhou spoke up and said they would follow the usual rules—everything would be auctioned off—and the calls finally stopped.

Before the auction started, Zhouzhou secretly sought advice from Qin Er.

Qin Er thought for a moment and said, "There's no real trick. Just sit there. Oh, and print out your transcript and display all the trophies and medals you've won from competitions over the years."

"Why?" Zhouzhou asked, puzzled.

Qin Er replied, "You need them to understand that you're worth the price."

With Zhouzhou on board, they wouldn't have to worry about competition for at least four years. She might even help professors with their research projects. How could anyone not go crazy for that?

Whether for fame or fortune, Zhouzhou was definitely worth the effort.

Zhouzhou suddenly understood and gave Qin Er a big thumbs-up, "Brother Dafu, you're the best!"

Qin Er smiled faintly, hiding his brilliance.

Zhouzhou stared at him for a moment, then suddenly asked, "By the way, Brother Dafu, how's your relationship with Sister Generous going?"

Shao Shanshan?

Qin Er tilted his head, thinking for a moment, "I haven't seen her since we parted ways last time. She's probably busy with her work."

Zhouzhou nodded thoughtfully and then glanced at his face. She threw a coin, watching its divination pattern, and then burst out laughing.

Great! The wedding banquet was almost ready.

But wait, Brother Dafu and Sister Generous haven't seen each other much—why did the divination suggest good things were about to happen?

She shook her head, puzzled. But she didn't dwell on it. After all, she wasn't planning to get married.

But then again, what if Brother Dafu's marriage meant less money in the future?

Looking at his face, she figured that wouldn't be the case.

If it were, she'd just have to take on the role of future richest person herself!

With that thought, Zhouzhou raised her chin confidently and walked out with purpose.

Heh heh. She was going to quietly work hard and amaze Brother Dafu!

As Qin Lie stepped out of his study, he caught sight of Zhouzhou sneaking around, covering her mouth while laughing mischievously. He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, wondering what silly thing she was up to now.

"Zhouzhou," he called her.

Seeing him, Zhouzhou rushed over, "Dad!"

"What's so funny?"

Hearing his question, Zhouzhou eagerly explained her plan.

Qin Lie: "..."

Great. His daughter had lost it.

He suppressed a sigh, then asked, "If you want to be the richest, why not take over the company?"

Zhouzhou puffed out her chest confidently, "What's the point of inheriting a company? I want to earn it myself!"

"Dad, I want to work hard and support you in your old age!"

Qin Lie raised an eyebrow, "So you want to have me and Ye Lingfeng live together and retire together?"

Zhouzhou looked shocked, "How did you know, Dad?"

Qin Lie: "..."

He sighed. Thanks a lot.

She wasn't planning to take care of him in his old age—she was planning to shorten the time of his last years!

Every day he'd have to look at Ye Lingfeng's face. Maybe it'd be better if he just kept his eyes closed!
