The old man was dressed in plain clothes and shoes, looking very simple, like an old guy from the neighborhood walking his bird. Fang Yui suspected this old geezer didn’t know a damn thing.
Xi Ruzhu also sized up the old man from head to toe and decisively sided with Fang Yui, speaking softly to back her up: "Our Teacher Fang majored in English and is studying for a master’s degree in English at Imperial University. Sir, you probably don’t understand English as well as our Teacher Fang..."
Who knew.
The principal glared at her fiercely: "Shut up."
Then he imdiately scooted up to the old man, very humbly and respectfully: "Dean Tang, the young teacher we just hired doesn’t know better, please don’t take it to heart. She’s clueless about Old English; if she can teach the ABCs, that’s already good enough. You were right, Xi Zuzi’s pronunciation and accent are top-notch, what was that accent again?"
Xing Yue, speechless, corrected: "Old English, Germanic noble accent."
The principal: "Yes, yes, yes! Germanic noble! She’s the top, she’s number one, you personally scored her, there’s absolutely no issue."
Fang Yui was stunned, her heart stopped!
This, this unremarkable old man was actually the Dean of the Foreign Languages School of Imperial University?
The big shot who held the only recomndation spot for Imperial University in Qingcheng?!
Dood, dood, she actually offended him.
Xi Ruzhu felt even more dejected!
Dean Tang’s words were practically a death sentence for her, completely shattering her hope of being recomnded.
How could she have anticipated that this poorly dressed old man was actually a big shot Dean at Imperial University?
Seeing Dean Tang’s icy deanor towards her, but then turning to Xi Zuzi with a bright and warm smile: "Zuzi, my dear student, don’t worry. With a talent scout like , I will not let your talent go unnoticed. Um... I brought the recomndation agreent, how about we sign it on the spot to avoid any delays?"
Everyone’s eyes nearly popped out: "..."
Damn.
They didn’t even need further assessnt, no need to consult with parents, or compare with other top students in different schools?
Just like that, the only recomndation spot for Qingcheng City was given to Xi Zuzi?
Talk about a willful big shot.
The envy and jealousy in Xi Ruzhu’s eyes were nearly impossible to hide.
And yet.
The next second.
Xi Zuzi lazily glanced at the recomndation agreent.
Without even reaching out to take it, she just casually waved her hand: "Don’t give it to the Ancestor. The Ancestor is not good at or interested in English anyway."
Everyone: "...!"
They thought the Dean was already quite capricious.
But damn, who knew Xi Zuzi was a thousand tis more willful!
Xi Ruzhu felt like she could kill Xi Zuzi.
The recomndation spot she had been eagerly awaiting for so long was utterly worthless in Xi Zuzi’s eyes, just cast aside like that.
Dean Tang was also a bit regretful: "Ah, Zuzi, my dear student, that makes very sad..."
Before he could finish, Xi Zuzi pointed at Wu Minghao beside her: "He can."
Dean Tang’s eyes lit up, rembering that although Wu Minghao had few lines earlier, his pronunciation wasn’t bad and sowhat resembled Xi Zuzi’s. He quickly nodded: "Alright, let’s go with Zuzi’s recomndation. If he can partner with Zuzi, this young man must be quite good."
Xi Zuzi: "Mm-hmm."
Wu Minghao: "..."
Hell, hell, hell, this is what it feels like to have happiness fall from the sky!
Xi Ruzhu stumbled.
The recomndation spot wasn’t just snatched by Xi Zuzi but casually given to another nobody from East Sea Class!
Her heart was bleeding.
Seeing things set in stone, the matter was about to be finalized.
Xi Ruzhu gritted her teeth, holding her head, eyes filled with tears, collapsed into a chair, and sobbed quietly: "It’s all my fault for losing the speech manuscript and causing Nanshan Class to lose such a precious recomndation spot..."
Though her voice was low, it was enough for those around her to clearly hear the words "lost the manuscript."
