Chapter 611: Showing off

Everybody kept silent.

At that moment, even the presidents from the Six Prestigious Schools did not want to talk to him, not to mention those who were from other schools.

President Mu clicked on the “Red Envelope” button casually and sent out several red envelopes.

Soon, everyone saw those red envelopes with different sentences on the covers.

The first red envelope said, “Our school has won 68 medals.”

The second red envelope said, “30 medals more than Hua University.”

The third red envelope said, “Tan Mo broke the record and won five gold medals.”

The fourth red envelope said, “The first one to win five gold medals in history.”

The fifth red envelope said, “Beijing University has won all the gold medals.”

The sixth red envelope said, “Keep working hard, Hua University.”

Nobody knew how to respond, especially President Shi from Hua University. When he saw those red envelopes, he didn’t want to open them at all. But on second thought, President Shi came to realize that this was a good chance to make President Mu spend some money. “Since it’s his money,” he thought, “why would I give it up?”

Therefore, President Shi made up his mind to open those red envelopes, intending to take a huge amount of money from him.

However, when he opened one, all the money had been taken.

Looking at the people on the name list who had received the money in the red envelope, President Shi felt awkward. Normally, those presidents would keep silent in the group chat. Who could have known they would suddenly appear and took all the money in the red envelopes so fast?

In the first place, President Shi did not want to open those red envelopes, but now, seeing that all the money had been taken away, he was unwilling to accept it.

President Shi couldn’t believe it. He opened the red envelopes one by one.

In the end, all the red envelopes had been opened, while there was not even a cent left.

This was just embarrassing. President Shi sent a message in the group chat saying, “Beijing University has done such a great job this year. It’s such a joyful event, and now this’s all the money you’ve got for us?”

President Mu sent a doge emoji and said, “Although Beijing University did better than Hua University this time, Hua University still ranked second on the medal table. Your school did a great job as well. But of course, not as great as mine.”

President Shi was speechless.

President Mu said, “Hua University has come second. Don’t you send us some red envelopes to celebrate it?”

President Shi couldn’t help sneering.

“Hua University lost.” President Shi thought. “How could that guy ask me to send him red envelopes? What a joke!”

President Mu said, “Shi just missed the red envelopes. It’s quite pitiful. Let me send you another one.”

President Shi was surprised. “How did this guy know that I had opened those red envelopes?” he wondered.

President Mu sent another red envelope.

There was a sentence on the cover of that red envelope saying, “To celebrate this very day that Hua University won second place.”

What a shame! President Shi did not want to celebrate it at all. “Why is this guy so annoying?” he thought.

President Liu from Nan University said, “Beijing University has done an outstanding job. It has improved so much compared to previous years.”

President Hao from Tong University said, “That’s right. Over the past few years, Beijing University has achieved great success. It can even be said that Beijing University has reached a peak that no other university can get to. Everybody knows it is very difficult for it to create a new miracle. I didn’t expect that it would make such great progress this year. For any other school, this is a challenge.”

Another president said, “Yeah. Beijing University’s medals have increased by one-third!” It was normal for him to say that. He would never ask for the day when his school won as many medals as Beijing University. To be honest, one or two was just enough for him to show off in public.

President Mu was waiting for someone to say this. He replied, “Speaking of that, I owe the success to two reasons. First, our teachers are hard-working and responsible. Second, our students have been working hard this time, especially Tan Mo.”

“Tan Mo?” said President Wen from Jiang University, “Is she the girl who cleared the Ancient Text Competition by herself?”

President Liu said, “Oh, I remember that girl. She took the college entrance examination at the age of 15 and got full marks. At that time, we all went to B City to invite her to our universities. What a pity. She finally took Mu’s offer. I can still remember the first time she participated in the Ancient Text Competition. She beat up Hua University, and she was only 15 years old then.”

President Mu sent a nodding emoji. “Yeah, that’s her.”

“She’s amazing!” said President Hao. “By the way, is she the screenwriter of ‘Legend of Wei and Jin’?”

President Mu sent another nodding emoji. “Yeah, that’s her. She’s not only Professor Gu’s student, but also Professor Tang’s prized pupil.”

Another president said, “Even the students in our school are talking about this girl all day long. I thought maybe she was only good at arts in the first place, but it turns out she also does well in math.”

“Yep. Tan Mo helped Beijing University get five gold medals. Come on! Five gold medals! I mean, this is the very first person in history, right? No one else has ever had such great achievement before.” a president said.

President Mu said, “Tan Mo’s contribution is much more than the five gold medals. Without her, Beijing University can’t break the record, and our medal amount can never increase by one-third.

“It was Tan Mo who went through all the previous exam questions and figured out their solutions. Then, she designed different exam papers to train the students. A lot of questions were predicted in the end.” Principal Mu told the other presidents all he knew without reservation.

In fact, President Mu was willing to see the regretful look on President Zhu’s face.

President Mu added, “Fortunately, I succeeded in inviting Tan Mo to Beijing University, probably because the conditions I offered her were the best throughout the admission history in Beijing University. Actually, I had already thought about it. If Tan Mo was still not satisfied with those conditions, I could do no matter what it took to make choose our school. No matter how much money she wanted, I would accept it, as long as she agreed to come to Beijing University.”

President Shi kept silent. He just sneered as he listened to President Mu bragging without saying a word. “You think I’ll believe that nonsense?” he thought. “That amount of money was all you could afford. Anyway, it was not you who took charge of the whole university. Keep on talking nonsense, Mu. I won’t buy it!”

President Mu said, “We all have invited Tan Mo, right?”

President Shi followed the principle that he couldn’t be the only one to be jealous. He decided to drag President Zhu down. “Yeah, I was there, too. But Zhu didn’t seem to present that day.”

A sense of foreboding took President Zhu’s heart. He hadn’t even participated in the battle for Tan Mo, but he didn’t know why he would get involved in it again.

President Mu said, “Zhu, what a pity! If you came to B City that day and showed her your sincerity, Tan Mo must be studying at Shuang University at the moment. Although there was only a one-sixth chance, it was still better than nothing. All of the five presidents came that day, but only you sent a professor here. If Tan Mo goes to your school, the great honor will be yours. But now, let alone a gold medal, you can’t even get a medal.”

President Shi thought, “So it turns out that watching President Mu brag in front of another embarrassed man is such a great joy. In any case, as long as Mu is not targeting me, it would be acceptable.”

President Zhu was speechless.

Finally, President Zhu couldn’t stand it anymore and said, “Come on, stop acting like a nice guy. You are satisfied, aren’t you? Sure, I didn’t come that day, but isn’t that what you want?”
