The next day.
Sunday morning.
In the second bedroom upstairs in Old Wu's house, Zhang Ye was sleeping soundly on the bed. Last night, he had discussed quite a bit about calligraphy with Old Wu in the study and also wrote a few pieces of calligraphy. When it got really late, Zhang Ye took the opportunity to stay over. Actually, when this fellow came over, he had no intention of leaving at all. It wasn't easy for him and Old Wu to have two days off, so Zhang Ye wanted to stay a little longer with Old Wu.
At eight o 'clock.
"Are you awake?" Wu Zeqing came in from outside.
When Zhang Ye heard her voice, he opened his eyes. "Old Wu."
Old Wu said, "Let's go downstairs and eat. I've already made dinner."
"What time is it?" Zhang Ye asked.
"Eight o 'clock," said Old Wu, who was dressed in a nightgown.
"It's only eight o 'clock. I'm going to lie down a little longer." Zhang Ye lazily snuggled into the towel and yawned twice. "I don't know why I've been so tired these past few days."
Old Wu smiled. "Then we won't be eating anymore?"
Zhang Ye smacked his lips. "I'll eat it. How can I not eat your cooking?"
Old Wu said, "Then I'll bring it over for you. Why don't you eat in the house?"
"Oh, that's fine." Zhang Ye was delighted. If he were at his own house or the landlady's place, Zhang Ye would definitely get beaten up if he dared to make such a request. However, at his girlfriend's house, Zhang Ye was clearly living like a lord, with everything he needed and everything he needed.
Not long after, Old Wu came back with a tray. "Eat it while it's hot. I just made it. It won't taste good if it gets cold." She bent over and pulled out a clock. Then she placed the breakfast on the bedside table beside Zhang Ye.
When he lowered his head, Old Wu's nightgown also sagged in front of her chest. Her neckline opened up for a second, but Zhang Ye did not do it on purpose. His gaze unconsciously went through her neckline and saw two lumps of snow-white skin and a nude colored bra with dark patterns on it. A second later, Old Wu straightened herself up. Zhang Ye could not see anything anymore, but he could not help but feel an itch in his heart.
If only she didn't have any underwear!
Sigh, who the hell invented the bra? What's the use of it? Where's the basic trust between people?!
"Have you eaten, Old Wu?"
"Not yet."
"Then let's eat together."
"Yes."
Wu Zeqing also moved a chair over and sat down.
Zhang Ye got up but did not get off the bed. He just leaned against the side of the bed and started eating. As he ate, he cheered and praised Old Wu's breakfast non-stop. It was not flattery, but it was really delicious. Old Wu's culinary skills were much better than his mother's by more than just a little bit. "After staying at your house for two days, this bro must have gained at least five pounds."
Old Wu said, "You're not going to work today either?"
Zhang Ye acknowledged, "I took a few days off."
"Peking University should have started recruiting students by now. How's it going this year? Are there many good seedlings? "Old Wu asked as he chewed slowly.
Zhang Ye picked up a pork and scallion bun that Old Wu had steamed and said, "I don't think Peking University's cutoff score is out yet, but they should be starting to recruit students soon. It's not easy to snatch the top scorers, so they definitely have to take action in advance. But I don't know the specifics. I don't have any duties at Peking University and am still suspended. I haven't gone back yet."
Old Wu said, "I'll ask them about your suspension later."
"It's fine." Zhang Ye said nonchalantly, "I've already gotten over it. I'll just let nature take its course. Even if I were to be reinstated, I might not have the time to go back and teach. I still have some work to do at The Voice and then I still have to think about the next program."
After breakfast.
Zhang Ye thought of something. Seeing that Old Wu had gone downstairs to wash the dishes, he took out his cell phone and called Dean Pan of Peking University. "Hello, Dean Pan, are the cutoff scores out yet?"
Dean Pan said, "They're not out yet, but they're almost there. There's probably a slight fluctuation. What's the matter?"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "It's like this. Do you know Huang Lingling?"
"Huang Lingling?" Dean Pan said, "The one who scored full marks on the Beijing Math Exam?"
Zhang Ye said, "Yes, that young lady's scores in the other subjects might not be as high as the Math Exam. I'm afraid that she won't be able to pass Peking University's cutoff score and miss out on a good seedling."
Dean Pan immediately said, "Don't worry, she won't be missed out. The student recruitment team has already gone to meet with the top scorers. Huang Lingling's name is on the list."
"Alright, I got it then."
After hanging up, Zhang Ye got up and went downstairs to chat with Old Wu again.
...
Meanwhile.
In the outside world, this year's student recruitment was in full swing!
Peking University's student recruitment team had already been set up. Just like in previous years, Peking University had also sent out a lot of their recruitment staff to various key schools and examinees' families to recruit people. The student recruitment team was mostly made up of female teachers and staff. It was still the same policy as in previous years, to play the emotional card and get closer to the examinees. If necessary, they could even promise scholarships and other preferential treatment.
Su Na was also a member of Peking University's student recruitment team. In the morning, she went to a small district in the west of the city and went upstairs to knock on a door.
When the door opened, a middle-aged woman's face appeared.
Su Na smiled gently and said, "You must be Auntie Song."
That woman said, "You are?"
Su Na said, "I'm a teacher from Peking University's student recruitment team. I contacted you over the phone last night."
"Oh, oh, oh, it's Teacher Su." The woman was very polite.
Su Na looked inside and said with a smile, "Is Little Chen home? I would like to have a chat with him. "
The woman was a little embarrassed. "My son, he … he was just picked up by a teacher from Tsinghua University."
Su Na was stunned. "Didn't we have an appointment yesterday?"
The woman said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Teacher Su. I also wanted my son to wait for you, but two of Tsinghua University's student recruitment teachers came to my house at 6 AM this morning and insisted that my son go with them. In the end, it was a little forceful. My son and I did not want to offend them, so …"
Su Na was exasperated. Tsinghua University??
… …
Elsewhere.
No. 4 High School.
Peking University's Math Department's Han Henian had led a team here. But when they arrived at the entrance of No. 4 High School, they were stopped by the security guard and two teachers from No. 4 High School.
The security guard said, "What are you doing?"
Han Henian got out of the car. "Hello, we are from Peking University's student recruitment team. We would like to talk to Zhang Zhipeng and Su Xiao. Could you please open the door?"
A teacher from No. 4 High School looked at them. "Today is the students' graduation ceremony, so we are having a meeting. Please come back in the afternoon."
Another female staff member from Peking University's student recruitment team said, "We just want to have a simple chat with the two students. It won't affect your graduation ceremony. This is also for the children's future, isn't it?"
That teacher from No. 4 High School waved his hands impatiently. "Not today. Please go back."
No matter what he said, it did not make sense. In the end, Han Henian and the others could only drive the car to the side and just wait there. The two students they were looking for today were the top scorers of this year's Beijing college entrance exam, ranked 6th and 11th. Peking University had already given instructions that they had to win them over. Han Henian had also taken a liking to that student called Zhang Zhipeng. This person was only 5 marks away from a perfect score in Math. Furthermore, he was not biased towards other subjects and had nearly perfect scores in all his other subjects. That was why Han Henian had personally come here to see if he could accept a student.
After waiting for a long time, the security guard still refused to let them go.
Suddenly, a small sedan drove over and stopped at the main entrance for a short while before being let in.
Han Henian and the others thought that it was a car from the school or a teacher, so they did not pay much attention to it. But about ten minutes later, when the car drove out, one of the sharp-eyed female teachers called out.
"It's Zhang Zhipeng and Su Xiao!"
"Ah?"
"They've been taken away!"
"The one sitting in the front passenger seat is Tsinghua University's Old Xu?"
A few of the Peking University student recruitment team members were alarmed and immediately went up to question the people from No. 4 High School. "What's the matter with you all? Didn't you say that no one was allowed to enter the graduation ceremony? "
That No. 4 High School teacher said righteously, "The meeting has already ended, so of course they can enter."
Han Henian was furious. "You!"
They could finally tell that the Tsinghua University student recruitment team had colluded with some of the teachers from No. 4 High School to prevent the Peking University student recruitment team from entering, so that they would not have a chance to interact with the top scorers!
......
A similar scene was also happening at No. 8 High School.
No. 8 High School was holding a press conference for the top scorers today. This was because this year's No. 8 High School had produced a college entrance examination champion and five students who were in the top 100 of the Beijing college entrance examination. There was also a heaven-defying examinee who had scored a perfect score in the Math exam and was the only one in Beijing who had scored a perfect score in the Math exam. Naturally, there were many people at today's press conference. There were newspaper reporters, television stations, examinees' parents, and even the Tsinghua University student recruitment team members who had been waiting for a long time.
When the interview ended, four male teachers from the Tsinghua University student recruitment team rushed forward.
One of the Tsinghua University teacher was Liao Qi from this year's college entrance examination question setting team, who had a conflict with Zhang Ye in a poetry competition.
"Student Huang Lingling, we are from Tsinghua University!"
"Student Zhou Zheng, let's have a chat. The car is waiting outside. Our Tsinghua University professors are already waiting for you at the school. Let's talk about your aspirations."
The top scorers were immediately surrounded by the Tsinghua University student recruitment team.
There were only three teachers from the Peking University student recruitment team. One of them was in her forties, while the other two were in their twenties. They were all female teachers, so of course they could not squeeze past them.
A female teacher from Peking University said angrily, "What are you all doing! Huang Lingling and Zhou Zheng's first choice was our Peking University! What does that have to do with Tsinghua University? "
Tsinghua University's Professor Liao Qi looked at her coldly. "Everyone has a chance. Who said that anyone who fills in your first choice must go to Peking University? We have to respect the examinees' wishes! "Saying that, he pulled Huang Lingling and Zhou Zheng away." Make way, make way! "
Huang Lingling was pulled away and said in a panic, "I-I've already applied for Peking University."
A Tsinghua University male teacher pointed at Liao Qi and said, "This is our Tsinghua University's Professor Liao. Professor Liao has personally come to welcome you, which is already a sign of our sincerity. It doesn't matter what your aspirations are. As long as you are willing to apply for Tsinghua University, we can directly welcome you. Come, let's go to Tsinghua University and have a chat.
Huang Lingling said anxiously, "I really don't want to go, I …"
The three Peking University female teachers said angrily, "Is this how you respect the examinees' wishes!?"
When the reporters saw the Peking University and Tsinghua University teachers "fighting", they looked at each other. They had not expected that this year's competition for the top scorers would be so intense.
In previous years, the two most outstanding universities in the country had always played the emotional card, and it had always been so in recent years. But who could have expected that this year's Tsinghua University would take a different approach and take a domineering stance? They did not care about emotions or feelings at all. Most of the teachers who came were strong and muscular male teachers, and they had only one goal in mind — to drag the top scorers away first! This caught the Peking University student recruitment team off guard!
The Peking University female teacher said, "These are our students!"
Liao Qi said coldly, "Get out of my way!"
The Peking University female teacher said, "Are you all going to be reasonable?"
The Tsinghua University male teachers did not waste any more words with them. They pulled their students away and tried to squeeze out!
The teachers from Eighth High School were dumbfounded. They did not know whether to persuade them or not, but they could not do anything about it!
