Chapter 245
The recruitment officers from Peking University and Tsinghua University arrived almost at the same time.
They each came in pairs.
The two female teachers from Peking University were dressed in casual clothes, looking very capable.
They appeared to be young and successful career women.
Tsinghua University sent a middle-aged man wearing glasses accompanied by a slightly younger woman.
At this moment, the two groups were eyeing each other with displeasure.
They had just arrived in this city.
Having barely caught their breath after landing, they had planned to rest at the hotel for a day before starting their search.
Who would have thought they'd run into their old rivals walking out of the hotel?
They had been ruthless in competing for students year after year.
Seeing that the others were heading out, the two teachers from Tsinghua University immediately dropped their luggage.
They rushed towards Starry Sky Kindergarten.
As fate would have it, they ran into each other again at the kindergarten entrance.
After a quick word with the security guard, the two groups started arguing outside.
Peking University shouted at Tsinghua University: "How is this any of your business? These two young students participated in our independent recruitment program. It's not very ethical for you to come now, is it?"
They were blatantly trying to snatch the students away.
The other side smiled and said: "We trust your selection standards!"
As old rivals, they naturally knew that as a top international institution, their selection process was very strict.
Over the years, there had been quite a few young geniuses.
But for the recruitment team to come out to compete, it must be for top-tier geniuses that the school valued highly.
The Peking University staff were annoyed, they had set out in secret.
How did the others find out?
Could there be a mole in their unit who had leaked their movements?
Seeing the obvious confusion in the Peking University teachers' eyes, the other side smiled and said: "Don't worry about how I found out!" He grinned smugly.
It was irritating to see.
At this moment, Shen Wei arrived with two children.
Gu Qingyan and Doctor Lu were also with them.
Today, as soon as it ended, everyone had left the kindergarten.
Shen Wei had also wanted to leave, but Gu Qingyan had held her back with pear soup and bird's nest.
Staying a bit longer, who would have thought they'd run into the recruitment teams coming to recruit.
As for Doctor Lu, he lived here anyway. Naturally, he had to welcome them for this matter.
So Shen Wei led the two groups directly to the small conference room.
Shen Wei quickly asked Doctor Lu to call the parents of the local genius, Zhao Jie.
Doctor Lu, being mischievous, knew this was huge news but deliberately didn't say so, just asking them to come to the kindergarten.
The parents usually left their child boarding here and only came to pick him up on weekends.
Now, receiving a call before the weekend, they immediately became worried, thinking something had happened.
So the father, mother, grandfather, and grandmother all rushed over.
When they arrived, they found that the recruitment teams from Tsinghua University and Peking University were here, wanting to admit their child early.
The family was stunned for a moment.
Zhao Jie's grandmother, known for her fiery temperament, suddenly slapped his grandfather hard.
His grandfather yelped in pain.
His grandmother, now awake from her daze, said: "Oh my, it's not a dream!"
As top universities in the country, they never imagined Tsinghua and Peking would have anything to do with their grandson.
They hadn't even dared to dream such an audacious dream.
How old was this child now? And yet he had such good fortune.
The recruitment team teachers, having encountered all sorts of people over the years of recruiting, now put on a mysterious air.
They maintained the dignity of their prestigious schools.
But in their hearts, they still felt very proud of their institutions.
Zhao Jie's parents kept thanking Shen Wei: "It's all thanks to you."
Earlier, when Shen Wei had said their child had a talent for learning and suggested he study here,
they had thought their child was really amazing.
But they had no concept of how far it would go. They didn't expect such a big surprise.
At this moment, Zhao Jie's parents were at a loss for words to express their gratitude.
But they kept trying to convey their thanks. Their child's success today was truly thanks to coming to Starry Sky Kindergarten.
If their child had been in an ordinary kindergarten, his talent would have been buried.
Just then, the security guard suddenly called Shen Wei.
He said two more recruitment team teachers had arrived.
Shen Wei said to let them in directly, and then asked Gu Qingyan to go welcome them.
Peking University and Tsinghua University had been maintaining their image, but hearing Shen Wei's phone call, they immediately turned to look at their rivals: "Your school sent more people?"
"No, it must be your school that sent more people, right?"
They wondered if their schools had sent additional teachers after dispatching them, showing how much importance was placed on this matter.
But both groups had guessed wrong.
It wasn't Peking University or Tsinghua University sending more teachers, but recruitment teams from XiaMen University and Fudan University who had rushed over.
Peking University and Tsinghua University hadn't expected universities from such distant cities to come all this way.
Moreover, as far as they knew, these two children hadn't participated in their independent recruitment exams.
Peking University was truly speechless: "You're all here to pick up the leftovers, aren't you?"
They really needed to tighten things up at their school.
The school had organized a mysterious assessment test, but their backyard had been infiltrated like a sieve.
As soon as they heard about the admissions, other top universities immediately took notice.
There were now four universities present.
XiaMen University knew they couldn't compare with the top national universities, so they said: "If these two children come to our junior class, we'll set up a special computer science class for them with very strong faculty!"
The teacher from XiaMen University was previously a student of Professor Liu.
With such a connection, he naturally knew a bit about the situation.
This time, XiaMen University came with sincere intentions.
They directly said: "If either of these two children comes to our school, besides waiving tuition and providing single-room accommodation, we'll also give an annual scholarship of 300,000 yuan."
XiaMen University was very ambitious about their junior class program.
They had recently recruited the top few children from the junior division of the "Most Powerful Brain" competition.
At that time, the recruitment teams from Peking University and Tsinghua University were under enormous pressure.
Fudan University calmly said from the side: "We'll reward them with an apartment!" Fudan University was located in Hu City.
The property prices there were comparable to Beijing.
Only Fudan University, being the favored child of Hu City, could make such an offer.
Giving an apartment was equivalent to giving several million yuan at once.
When XiaMen University had just mentioned the 300,000 yuan scholarship, they were still smiling.
But upon hearing Fudan University offer an apartment, their smiles instantly froze.
These old foxes were too ruthless.
They had gone all in, how could others compete now?
Peking University and Tsinghua University had thought the two young geniuses were in the bag.
If not theirs, then at least their old rival's.
Who could have imagined the latecomers would take the lead.
Offering money and apartments. The two were now completely dumbfounded.
They didn't have such high authority.
Then the two people in charge from Peking University and Tsinghua University said: "Excuse us, we need to make a phone call."
The other two groups seized the opportunity to persuade the parents and children to accept their offers: "We are top-tier key universities in the country. You can't even think about getting into our schools with a college entrance exam score below 640!"
They also emphasized their advantageous disciplines and projects.
Now with scholarships and housing,
After finishing their studies there, they would become life winners, with both money and a house.
All they needed to do was study diligently.
Zhao Jie's parents looked at each other.
Their faces still wore dreamlike smiles.
Each of these schools was a dream for students, and now they had to choose.
This was too wonderful!!!
