Chapter 202: Success in snatching people
When Fatty Yao heard Principal Lin ask this, he scratched his head uncertainly. After thinking about it, he realized that he had indeed said that, so he nodded and said, "Uh... I did."
"Did Qingqing say when she'd be back?"
As for whether Shang Qing actually said when Ji Xun would be back, he really didn't remember, so Fatty Yao answered truthfully, "No."
"Didn't you tell her?" Principal Lin confirmed with Fatty Yao. "How did you and Shang Qing communicate? What did Qingqing say?"
"I told him Ji Xun was the provincial champion."
"and then?"
"Shang Qing is very excited and happy."
"What's next?"
"Then she hung up the phone."
"So, she didn't even know everyone was waiting at her door, right?"
"Well, I'm not sure..." Yao Pangpang was embarrassed.
Principal Lin immediately flew into a rage, his veins nearly popping out: "Then why did I ask you to come and make this call?!"
Yao Pangpang wasn't stupid. He reacted and hurried to calm Principal Lin, who was about to explode in anger. He specifically told him the information he had learned: "Principal Lin, don't worry, don't worry. They're eating at Mido Steakhouse. If we go now, we should be able to catch up with them there."
Before the principal could say anything, an academic affairs officer interrupted, "Since he's gone to eat, he should be back soon. Let's wait here..."
"Let's go to Mido Steakhouse!" Principal Lin waved his hand and set off with the teachers. He wasn't going to wait here foolishly. What if Shang Qing and the others went shopping again after dinner? How long would they have to wait then?
The admissions teachers of the top institutions of learning are busy keeping up.
Several cars sped away, and peace finally returned to the courtyard.
Shang Qing really thought the same as Principal Lin. After dinner, they definitely went shopping. She wanted to give Ji Xun a gift to congratulate him on becoming the provincial champion.
Not long after, several cars stopped in front of Mido Steakhouse. A large group of people got out of the cars and ran inside in a hurry. This scared the waiter so much that he almost called the police.
Especially when everyone came to Ji Xun's table, it caused a sensation in the restaurant. No one knew what big thing had happened.
After learning the reason, the steakhouse manager rushed to entertain them personally. He arranged the largest private room in the restaurant to accommodate the group and prepared tea, fruit, and other drinks to provide them with a quiet environment.
Everyone watched, and couldn't help but silently praise the store manager. He had a good financial sense, knew how to assess the situation, and knew how to seize opportunities. This person would be very successful in the future.
Principal Lin and the other teachers congratulated Ji Xun on his provincial first place. They unfurled a banner they had made with great efficiency and took photos with Ji Xun. Ji Xun quietly took photos with Grandma Kang and Shang Qing.
Shang Qing felt very embarrassed, but when she saw Ji Xun's pitiful and aggrieved look, she compromised.
After Principal Lin and the others left, the admissions teacher from the highest institution of learning and Ji Xun chatted. They had come here to recruit people and had not considered anything else.
After all, they had seen too many students who were good at studying. Even if this boy had taken the college entrance examination in his second year of high school, it wouldn't have been enough to make them even more astonished. But when they saw Ji Xun's stunningly handsome face, they had already roared in anger in their hearts countless times.
How did this boy manage to be both good at studying and handsome? Most importantly, his handsomeness wasn't just any ordinary handsomeness. He exuded a noble and aloof air, one that couldn't be violated. Yet, in front of that old lady and that little girl, he was as gentle as jade, a gentleman.
After hearing Principal Lin say that this girl was also a college entrance examination graduate this year, they quickly called the staff to investigate her information. She was a good student, not as good as their school's average, but still very good.
The admissions teacher had been working in this field for years, and she had long since developed a keen eye. Furthermore, she had just taken the opportunity to chat with Principal Lin. Principal Lin's words were profound. Combined with Ji Xun's concern for Shang Qing, she immediately understood how to get this young man into their school.
"Student Ji Xun, is it convenient for us to have a private chat?" Mr. Yu Zhaochen, the admissions officer, spoke to Ji Xun in a gentle manner, as if he were an adult, and politely asked for his opinion.
Ji Xun nodded and replied politely, "Yes, Teacher Yu, this way please."
The two of them went to the separate sofa area inside and sat down.
No one knew what they talked about. At the end, however, Yu Zhaochen shook hands with Ji Xun and said with great enthusiasm, "Student Ji Xun, see you at the beginning of the semester."
Ji Xun was neither arrogant nor impatient, and returned the handshake humbly and politely: "Teacher Yu, see you at the beginning of the semester."
Teacher Yu Zhaochen came to Grandma Kang, took her hand, and praised her warmly, "Old lady, you have raised a pair of wonderful children. You are truly blessed, and you will enjoy endless happiness in the future."
Grandma Kang smiled from ear to ear and hurriedly thanked him. Who wouldn't like nice words?
After everyone left, the store manager came forward and cheerfully handed over two specific VIP cards and two red envelopes. Shang Qing and Ji Xun refused to accept them.
The store manager smiled and said, "These two VIP cards are to thank you for your interest in our store and for giving us this opportunity to receive the joy of being the provincial champion. The red envelope is in my personal name, not a large one. It's customary for elders to give to younger ones, and it also serves as a symbol of good wishes. Please accept it. Of course, I also have a selfish motive. My son is about to start high school. I'm here to bring you some good luck. Hahahaha."
Since the store manager said so, Shang Qing and Ji Xun did not refuse and chose to accept it.
Ji Xun took the initiative to take a photo with Shang Qing and the store manager, which made the store manager jump for joy. Shang Qing almost couldn't help laughing, but luckily, she held it back, after all, if she really laughed, it would be impolite.
Of course, it was precisely because of the Steakhouse owner's generous approach that the restaurant became incredibly popular for a long time afterwards. The large private room in particular was so popular that it was completely booked out. But that's another story.
Other universities were delayed for some reason, so when they finally arrived at the courtyard, they found it locked and empty. When they asked the neighbors, they didn't know where they had gone. They only said that several groups of people had arrived that day.
There was no other way. Time was of the essence, and there was no time to waste. The university officials hurriedly obtained Ji Xun's phone number from the school and called to inquire. Ji Xun replied directly that he had made up his mind and would not choose any other schools. Thus, the matter of deciding on a school came to an end.
When they returned to their residence and chatted at night, Shang Qing and Grandma Kang found out what Ji Xun and Teacher Yu Zhaochen had talked about, and they also understood why Teacher Yu was able to successfully snatch people away.
