This year, Southern University was also selected as one of the top-tier universities in the country.
Its popularity among students has quickly approached that of Tsinghua University.
The number of students who applied to Southern University this year was not insignificant; everyone at Tsinghua University was on edge, extrely concerned about this round of independent recruitnt. Each departnt was pulling out all the stops to try to select one or two exceptionally talented students from this examination.
Since every departnt’s teachers and the school itself were taking this independent recruitnt exam very seriously, there was of course a eting to discuss this matter before the exam.
Mr. Gober was attending this eting.
As part of one of Tsinghua University’s ace departnts, he was the head of the Finance Departnt. Having had considerable achievents in the field of finance, the students he ntored were one better than the next. For instance, his student Zayn Fisher had just led a small team to win a minor international award. Although the prize was not huge, it had a good reputation when word spread.
Who at Tsinghua University didn’t know that, under his leadership, the Finance Departnt was flourishing day by day, quietly on its way to surpassing even the dical Departnt as Tsinghua’s most ace departnt.
Since it was a major conference, professors and associate professors from various departnts would participate.
Upon entering, he imdiately saw Adelle Wafford, wearing a smoky grey business suit, sitting upright in the most prominent seat on the left side of the conference table.
She exuded an aura of haughty aloofness, which made others cautious not to sit beside her.
Mr. Gober was long accustod to her deanor. Since everyone was an expert in their own field, he smiled, walked over, pulled out the chair beside Adelle Wafford, sat down, and also greeted the person next to him, "Professor Wafford, have you taken interest in any students this year?"
"I’ve heard you’ve already taken a liking to a student with exceptional talent and even made a special trip to McKinney for them. How did it go, did you secure them?"
He was just asking casually. With their status going personally to recruit, how many students would have the temperant to refuse?
After all, being chosen by them was a stroke of luck for anyone.
Who would refuse such good fortune willingly?
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Adelle Wafford’s face suddenly darkened a shade, she tightly gripped the tip of her pen, and her lips thinned, "Heh, Professor Gober seems quite leisurely, to have the ti to ddle in the affairs of other departnts?"
Mr. Gober, completely baffled by her retort and feeling like a monk who had no idea what was going on, found the teacher seated next to him, also from the dical Departnt, Draven Garland, leaning towards him and whispering low, "Mr. Gober, you best not ask Professor Wafford about this subject. That student..."
An image of a defiant figure involuntarily ca to Draven Garland’s mind, and for a mont, he didn’t know how to proceed.
However, Mr. Gober was quite curious, "What about that student?"
Draven Garland touched his nose, sowhat embarrassedly, "That student refused Professor Wafford’s invitation, saying she wanted to try for a different departnt and wasn’t interested in studying clinical dicine."
Mr. Gober hadn’t even paid attention to the latter half of what he said; just the beginning was enough to surprise him, "You’re saying that girl refused Professor Wafford?’
For these past years, the Clinical Departnt at Tsinghua University had solidly been ranked above their Finance Departnt, and with Adelle Wafford’s rising reputation over the past decade, she was the face of the Clinical Departnt.
And a student had refused Adelle Wafford?!
Now he was genuinely curious, asking with a face full of intrigue, "What’s the na of that student you ntioned, and will she be participating in this independent recruitnt?"
"Whether she will co or not, I’m not sure... As for her na, well... it’s quite nice. She’s a girl studying at No. 1 Middle School in McKinney, nad... Nathalie Quinlan."
Upon the ntion of the na Nathalie Quinlan, Mr. Gober froze.
