Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 379 - 378 The Latest Progress
Chapter 379: Chapter 378 The Latest Progress
He Qiya seemed to have always forgotten one very important matter.
That was, until now, He Qiya still did not know which university Su Mu was preparing to attend.
Nor did she know in which city it was located, whether it was far from Huadong City or not?
He Qiya suddenly realized that after summer vacation ended, she might not even have a pretext to see Su Mu.
Feeling some urgency, He Qiya did something rather impolite, interrupting the conversation between Su Mu and Four Eyes.
He Qiya did not attend university in China.
Originally, according to her mother’s wishes, when sending He Qiya abroad, they had already planned for her to complete all her education overseas.
However, this time, because He Qiya came back to China for summer vacation, Huang Yuqin also noticed a significant problem with her daughter’s personality.
Huang Yuqin knew that if this continued, even if her daughter returned with a degree from MIT, it would be useless.
What is the difference between a highly capable student who refuses to interact with society and others and someone with autism?
Realizing this issue, after He Qiya returned to China this time, Huang Yuqin did not bring up whether to continue sending He Qiya abroad after summer vacation.
So, up to now, He Qiya’s university situation actually remained unresolved.
Of course, with He Qiya’s foreign qualifications, plus the He Family’s connections, getting into a university in China was not going to be a problem at all.
It’s just that He Qiya was not clear about how her family would arrange things specifically.
He Qiya also suddenly realized this issue, feeling a bit urgent and anxious as well.
He Qiya thought that after clarifying Su Mu’s plans, she should also go home and discuss with her mother properly.
After all, He Qiya definitely did not wish to continue going abroad.
He Qiya still wanted to stay in the city where Su Mu was.
It would be best if she could attend the same university as Su Mu.
"Su Mu doesn’t need to fill out college preferences; the admissions directors from both Z University and S University personally came to our school to compete for him," Four Eyes interjected before Su Mu could speak.
When saying this, Four Eyes also looked quite proud.
Su Mu was his good friend.
Having such a prestigious friend certainly made Four Eyes feel like he was basking in reflected glory.
"Compete for him? Z University and S University are both some of the most famous universities in the country. Did Su Mu do exceptionally well on his college entrance exam?"
He Qiya had not always been sent abroad since she was little and was still clear about these important matters in China.
Z University and S University were the dream schools for all students in China.
Usually, they were places where candidates from all over would desperately try to get into.
When had she ever heard of the admissions directors from these two universities going to compete for a student at the same time?
He Qiya knew for sure that this was because Su Mu’s college entrance examination results were phenomenal.
"Of course, Su Mu is today’s science subject top scorer after all, and naturally, both Z University and S University want to recruit such talent," Four Eyes said.
"He Qiya, did you also take the college entrance exam today?"
Four Eyes was unaware that people like He Qiya had always been studying abroad.
Seeing that He Qiya looked about the same age as himself and Su Mu, Four Eyes assumed she might be in the same graduating class as him.
But Four Eyes found it a bit strange because, considering He Qiya’s status, she should have attended Huadong International Middle School too, right?
Why had he never seen He Qiya before?
"No, I studied high school overseas," He Qiya shook her head, indicating it was not as Four Eyes had assumed.
"No wonder, then you’re not aware of the domestic situation, are you?"
"As long as a student does well on the college entrance exam, these famous universities will all compete for them," he explained.
"He Qiya, you probably don’t know the spectacle of those two admissions directors from Z University and S University competing for a student, do you?"
"Not only did those two admissions directors offer a hefty sum of money, but they even put forth the condition of a continuous master’s and doctorate program,"
Four Eyes recounted the situation he and their classmates had overheard outside the principal’s office.
Looking at Four Eyes’ demeanor, it seemed as if the person being fought over by the two most prestigious universities wasn’t Su Mu, but Four Eyes himself.
"Which university did Su Mu finally choose?"
He Qiya knew that Su Mu had always been very impressive.
However, He Qiya hadn’t expected that Su Mu would be so outstanding in his studies as well.
There was no time to continue discussing how cool Su Mu had been back then.
Now, He Qiya was eager to know which university Su Mu had ultimately chosen.
Once she knew Su Mu’s choice, He Qiya could then determine which city Su Mu would spend most of his time in over the next few years.
After all, Four Eyes had mentioned that Su Mu wasn’t just going to university for four years.
Z University and S University had both proposed to let Su Mu directly enter a continuous master’s and doctorate program.
This meant that Su Mu would be staying in the city where he attended university for quite a few years.
Although Su Mu would return to Huadong City during winter and summer vacations, He Qiya still hoped to be in the same city as Su Mu for the upcoming years.
"I still have the most exciting part to tell, wait until I finish and you’ll know the answer,"
Caught up in the excitement, Four Eyes certainly wasn’t aware of He Qiya’s anxiousness.
It never even crossed Four Eyes’ mind that He Qiya’s urgency wasn’t due to curiosity, but because she had other plans.
Watching the interaction between Four Eyes and He Qiya, Su Mu remained silent.
It was rare for He Qiya to talk so much with someone she wasn’t very familiar with.
Su Mu thought this was a great start.
Perhaps gradually, He Qiya would be able to integrate into society on her own?
Therefore, even though the discussion between Four Eyes and He Qiya centered on Su Mu himself, he didn’t intend to stop them.
The western restaurant wasn’t very crowded at the moment, and Four Eyes’ words weren’t likely to draw other people’s attention.
Su Mu saw no need to interrupt.
The phone in his pocket vibrated.
It was the sound of WeChat, just a ringtone, not catching the attention of the enthusiastic Four Eyes and He Qiya.
Not wishing to join Four Eyes’ and He Qiya’s conversation, the WeChat notification gave Su Mu a way to pass the time.
He took out his phone and unlocked the screen.
As expected, there was a small red dot on WeChat.
Upon opening it, Su Mu saw it was his girlfriend’s avatar.
The corners of Su Mu’s mouth lifted slightly, it seemed Xuanxuan had already rested well.
But had Xuanxuan slept through till now to recover from last night’s vigorous activity, or did she recover her energy quite quickly and had just gotten up, only now messaging him?
Based on the experience from the trip Su Mu had taken with Jiang Xinxuan, he felt the former possibility was more likely.
Su Mu remembered that time, Xuanxuan had also rested until really late the next day before getting up.
And after getting up, she still felt a bit unrecovered.
Last night’s exertion wasn’t any less than that time, so Su Mu of course knew that Xuanxuan must have exhausted quite a bit of energy too. frёewebnoѵēl.com
"Su Mu, have you found the girl from behind that Four Eyes mentioned? I just woke up; slept in late,"
After opening Xuanxuan’s avatar, Su Mu knew his guess was absolutely correct.
As if he’d be wrong.
That Champion Physical Fitness wasn’t something just anyone could claim.
If a girl could easily take it on, Su Mu would have thought about returning the system for a refund.
Perhaps Jiang Xinxuan was worried that Su Mu might not have time to reply to her message at this hour.
He only sent one message and didn’t continue to send any others.
After all, Jiang Xinxuan had already gotten used to not receiving timely responses from Su Mu.
In the past, it was because Su Mu would not carry his cell phone with him once he got home, and only when he had time to pick up his phone would he see the WeChat message from Xuanxuan.
By the time Su Mu replied, it was of course a long while later.
Today, due to special circumstances, Jiang Xinxuan wasn’t sure whether Su Mu and Four Eyes were busy with something or not.
But after waking up and thinking about how Su Mu would take Four Eyes to Xinghuan Entertainment today to find that girl in the silhouette, Jiang wanted to ask for the latest updates.
"Found the information on that silhouette girl, she’s not an employee of Xinghuan Entertainment."
"That girl went to participate in Xinghuan Entertainment’s ’Most Beautiful Girl’ audition program yesterday."
Now that Su Mu was very free, he naturally had time to answer his girlfriend’s questions promptly.
Su Mu briefly updated Xuanxuan on the situation.
After responding to the message, Su Mu noticed that Four Eyes was still discussing with He Qiya the scene when the admissions directors from Z University and S University visited their school that day.
"He Qiya, you definitely wouldn’t have imagined, I was hiding outside the principal’s office at that time and didn’t expect Su Mu to have such a huge twist."
A huge twist?
Su Mu didn’t remember any twist happening at that time.
Could it be that in the eyes of others, his behavior was very strange?
Feeling a bit curious, Su Mu wanted to hear what kind of twist he supposedly had from Four Eyes’ perspective.
"Four Eyes, just get to the point, stop hemming and hawing."
He couldn’t take it anymore with Four Eyes laying down so much groundwork without even getting to the main point.
He Qiya couldn’t help but urge him on.
Seeing He Qiya’s anxious expression, Su Mu felt a bit emotional, was He Qiya about to return from being an Ice Mountain Beauty back to the normal world?
After all, the Ice Mountain Beauty always had an indifferent attitude toward everything around her.
How could she possibly show such intense curiosity?
So, Su Mu attributed He Qiya’s behavior to mere curiosity.
"We’re almost at the main point, if you didn’t rush me, I would have already gotten to it."
Four Eyes felt that the atmosphere he had been building up was slightly spoiled by He Qiya.
But this didn’t affect what Four Eyes was about to say next.
"At that time, after listening to what the two admissions directors said, Su Mu simply stated, ’S University is indeed very good.’"
Four Eyes, seeing Su Mu looking at him, became even more smug.
You should know, at that time Four Eyes and the others hiding outside the principal’s office, when they heard Su Mu say this,
They all thought they had the answer.
Everyone felt that Su Mu had definitely chosen S University.
Even the S University admissions director looked excited,
whereas the Z University admissions director had a dejected expression.
Everyone thought this was Su Mu making a definitive answer.
"So what was that divine reversal? Did Su Mu not choose S University in the end?"
Since Four Eyes had mentioned Su Mu pulling off a divine reversal,
He Qiya naturally wouldn’t naively think that Su Mu had chosen S University in the end.
"Smart!"
Four Eyes gave He Qiya a thumbs up, indicating that her intelligence was indeed very high.
He Qiya resisted the urge to retort.
Is this called smart?
Didn’t Four Eyes realize he had already let the plot slip ahead of time?
Luckily, He Qiya still hadn’t removed the crown of the Ice Mountain Beauty from her head, so she didn’t take Four Eyes too seriously.
He Qiya just hoped that Four Eyes would quickly give her a definite answer.
Although He Qiya had a hunch about the answer.
But concerning Su Mu, He Qiya was still very cautious and felt it was safer for Four Eyes to state it clearly.
This was about the next several years, even a lifetime’s big issue.
He Qiya didn’t want any sloppiness, nor did she want any small mistakes.
She patiently waited for Four Eyes to continue.
Although He Qiya hadn’t known Four Eyes for long.
She had discovered a very obvious characteristic of his, which was his talkativeness.
Four Eyes talked so much that he could easily be dubbed a chatterbox.
He Qiya knew that the more she said, the more Four Eyes would perform.
If by the time the waiter brought the dishes, Four Eyes still hadn’t gotten to the point.
He Qiya feared she might lose the chance to hear the definite answer.
It wasn’t appropriate to keep nagging Four Eyes during the meal.
That would be extremely unladylike and extremely impolite behavior.
In front of Su Mu, He Qiya always paid great attention to her image and definitely didn’t want to make such a low-level mistake.
Seeing that He Qiya had nothing more to express, Four Eyes finally got to the point.
"He Qiya, you’ve probably already guessed that Su Mu chose Z University in the end, right?"
"But I’m sure you can’t guess the reason he chose Z University in the end."
Z University?
He Qiya etched it firmly in her mind.
He Qiya thought that she would have a good talk with her mother after going back today.
As it was a big issue for her lifetime, He Qiya felt her mother would respect her decision.
The recent changes in her mother’s attitude had not escaped He Qiya’s notice.
Therefore, regarding her desire to attend university domestically, He Qiya had some confidence.
Now that she knew the answer, He Qiya’s hanging heart finally settled down.
She was even in the mood to talk more with Four Eyes about Su Mu.
If Four Eyes had not been talking about Su Mu at this point, He Qiya would still revert to her Ice Mountain Beauty nature.
And she would ensure she wouldn’t speak another word.
"Isn’t it because Z University is more suited to Su Mu?"
Both schools are prestigious, and He Qiya thought Su Mu would choose Z University simply because it was more academically appealing to him.
"Wrong answer."
Four Eyes seemed to be waiting for He Qiya’s response.
As soon as He Qiya dared to finish, Four Eyes immediately happily announced the answer.
Four Eyes now seemed as childish as a little kid.
"Then, what is the reason?"
Choosing a university has nothing to do with academics?
He Qiya really couldn’t think of any other reasons.
Proudly looking at He Qiya and then glancing at Su Mu, Four Eyes cleared his throat and stopped beating around the bush.
"Su Mu said he chose Z University because it is closer to Huadong City."
