George's eyes darkened slightly. He had already realized that the youth in front of him was trickier than he had imagined. "You can complain to the superintendent about this."
"No, if the school doesn't give me an explanation, then it's unlikely that I'll go to the superintendent. You probably don't know, but because of my father, I know Councilor Canord of the Civic Party. I think he'd be happy to see a letter of help from a student at Linden School, or a letter of complaint. Especially an orphan whose parents have died, an exceptional student asking for help. "
Li Mochen's gaze was like a knife as he met George's gaze. "Sir, you should understand that you can't stop me. Before you do something like this for someone, you should understand their identity. Am I right? Mr. Principal? "
If it were an ordinary student, they might be helpless in the face of the school's oppression. Going to the higher-ups to complain was even more naive. The vice-principal opposite him had plenty of ways to shut them up.
Fortunately, he was Andre Lee Wildenstein after all, the 19th heir of the Wildenstein family.
Although the original owner of the body was not interested in this, Li Mochen himself had always been good at using all kinds of resources to achieve his own goals. He had no ill feelings towards the Wildenstein family.
If he had no other choice, Li Mochen did not mind using his own identity to retaliate against the school.
At this time, George's eyebrows were already furrowed into a "chuan" character.
Canord Brela — not only was he a councilor from the Civic Party, but he was also the deputy speaker of the Atlanta City Council. At the same time, he was also the whip of the Atlanta City Civic Party branch.
If there was anyone in the city of Atlanta who could shake the school superintendent and him, George, and who was dismissive of the Wildenstein family, then Councilor Canord must be one of them.
However, according to the information he had learned beforehand, this Andre Lee Wildenstein had always been well-behaved since he was a child and had never done anything out of line. His grades were excellent, he never skipped classes, and he was also excellent in magic cultivation. He was a good student in the eyes of all the teachers.
But it was this little fellow, who was supposed to be as docile as a sheep, who now had the tendency to knock out his front teeth.
Canold Brela — where the hell did this guy hear that from? Did they really know each other?
At that moment, he vaguely remembered that this André did live on the same street as that city councilor before he transferred to another school.
"That's shocking. I don't quite understand what you're talking about."
George leaned back slightly and looked at his opponent for the first time. He no longer had the condescending attitude from before. "If you really want your application back, André, I'll get someone to look for it. But this will take time. If there are any results, I will inform you. "
He had already realized that since the kid in front of him didn't choose to speak up directly, it meant that this matter could still be discussed.
However, he had to make this kid understand that it wasn't as if he didn't have a way to neutralize it, or even counter it.
"I understand what you mean. It might take two months or three months to retrieve the application form, right? Maybe even half a year. "
Li Mochen, who was sitting opposite him, laughed instead. "Sir, as far as I know, our principal is going to retire soon. Are you sure you want to do this? Ah, that's right. Vice-principal Lei Alun should be your competitor, right? Or can I ask him for help? Are you sure that our Big Miss Louise is really powerless after knowing about this? "
— So even if he couldn't come up with a result in the end, it would still be enough to severely damage the career of this person in front of him.
At this moment, even William, who had been confused from the beginning until now, had discovered that the situation was tilting in Li Mochen's favor. He couldn't help but look at the latter with admiration. To be able to defeat a vice-principal in a negotiation, this friend of his was really too cool!
George also sucked in a cold breath of air. He almost couldn't hold back the smile on his face. He thought to himself that he'd really seen a ghost. Where on earth did this guy hear this news?
He couldn't help but have the illusion that the youth in front of him wasn't an inexperienced student, but a business elite who already had a card up his sleeve and had victory in his grasp.
"I think you two students might have misunderstood something. This isn't to deprive you of your scholarships. It's just to complete your personal information and delay the distribution for three months. "How about this, I'll make an exception here. During this period, your tuition and miscellaneous fees can still be waived, and the cultivation medicine will be distributed as usual. As long as I'm done with the review, the school will retroactively pay you the living allowance for the first three months. Do you understand? "
William instantly relaxed a little, and a happy expression appeared on his face. As long as the school didn't reject his scholarship application, he was already satisfied. It was just a delay of three months. To him, it was just a delay of three months.
However, although he was excited, he wisely continued to remain silent and didn't rashly speak.
William could see that this friend of his was obviously a street ahead of him in terms of speaking and negotiation.
Li Mochen, on the other hand, couldn't help but laugh. "Then can I interpret the loss of our information as the school's negligence or fault?"
George's expression was conflicted, but in the end, he said helplessly, "You can think of it that way."
He knew that once he admitted to this matter, it would mean the beginning of losing the city and the ground.
As expected, Li Mochen didn't let it go. "I also need a pass to the school's internal library and two sports scholarships —"
"You're asking for a mile after giving me an inch!"
George couldn't hold it in anymore. He suddenly stood up from his chair. He pressed his hands on the desk and looked down at Li Mochen like a lion.
"That's impossible! Do you know what this means? Damn it, André, you already have a full scholarship! William is also a student funded by the school. "
"But that should have been ours."
Li Mochen wasn't afraid at all. "Sir, we've already taken a step back. The living allowance can be delayed for three months. In exchange, shouldn't you give us some compensation? "
Linden Academy's full scholarship was only available to students who were self-funded. In addition to the exemption of tuition fees, books, and accommodation, they would also be provided with an additional 500 gold duns as living expenses.
For students like William, who were funded by the school district, apart from being exempted from tuition fees, the monthly living allowance was much less than 300 gold duns. In terms of cultivation medicine, it wasn't even half of what Li Mochen got.
After all, the main purpose of Linden Academy's full scholarship was to attract outstanding students to improve the school's quality and enrolment rate. Therefore, it was impossible to treat students who were funded by the school and those who were self-funded equally.
But whether it was 500 gold duns or 300 gold duns, it was far from the legal limit in America. A sports scholarship would be enough, which was about 1,200 gold duns per month. That was the only amount that high school students could get. Of course, the sports scholarship also provided an additional cultivation medicine.
This was indeed against the rules, but in order to attract the top geniuses and sports students, all the high schools and universities in America made a lot of fuss about scholarships.
Therefore, his offer wasn't too much.
George's expression was uncertain. "But you should understand that sports scholarships are limited. This is the right of the coaches."
"But that's your problem, isn't it?"
Li Mochen's lips curled into a cold smile. "Mr. George, I know that this is a piece of cake for you. So if you have anything to say, don't say it. It's meaningless and a waste of time. "
