Chapter 82 Winning over
Chapter 82 Winning over
Because the knockout round of 32 to 16 will last for several days.
So after the first day of fighting, Russell got a few days of rest.
When he returned to the hotel and was about to meditate, his cell phone started ringing.
"Miao Xuan again?" Russell was puzzled. "What do you want from me?"
"Could it be that the Qiling Society is going to send me materials again?"
It’s no wonder that he had such thoughts. After all, since coming to Nandu, this was the only person he had any contact with.
As for being classmates from Shanghai No. 1 Middle School, we all stayed in the same hotel, so we could just go to Russell’s house and there was no need to call.
Russell picked up the phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. "There can't be a sales call here."
When he picked up the phone, a strange voice came from the other end, but fortunately it was not the kind of sales call that Russell had expected: "Hello, is this Mr. Luo?"
"you are?"
Russell didn't waste any time and asked the other party's identity directly.
"I'm Shen Yan, who's in charge of admissions at Beijing University. Student Luo, you can just call me Teacher Shen."
"Kyoto University?" Russell was stunned, and then he realized that the person on the other end of the phone was probably trying to win him over.
"Hello, Mr. Shen. What do you want to talk to me about?"
Although Russell guessed the other party's intention, he decided to play dumb and listen to what the other party said.
"Nothing else, I just want to ask Luo if you are interested in studying at our Beijing University? Don't worry, scholarships and other things will be arranged for you."
Hearing Russell's active question, Shen Yan was delighted and immediately told him the purpose of his visit.
However, Russell just shook his head when he heard this, and secretly thought: "It's too insincere to not even paint a good pie in the sky."
The other party only mentioned that there was a scholarship, but did not say anything about the specific amount or the subsequent training plan.
Russell certainly wouldn't be so stupid as to agree to this.
But the more important thing is that he has basically decided to choose Nanjing University. After all, if he enters Nanjing University, he can become Bai Yueming's disciple.
What's the use of being able to fight when you're out there in the underworld? What matters is power and background.
Although being able to fight is indeed useful in this world.
But when you are weak, the background can still solve most of the problems.
But Russell would not reject the other party directly, but said tactfully: "Teacher Shen, I want to talk about these things after the Jiang Province Unified Examination is over."
Shen Yan naturally didn't know the relationship between Russell and Bai Yueming, and just thought that the other party was waiting for a good price.
However, he called this time just to show his face first. If Russell really agreed on impulse after hearing the name of Kyoto University, that would naturally be the best.
If you don't agree, it doesn't matter.
"Okay, then I won't bother you anymore. If you change your mind, you can contact me at any time through this phone number."
"Thank you, Mr. Shen."
Looking at the hung up phone in his hand, just as he was about to put it aside, the phone rang again.
"Again?"
But Russell was not surprised. It was impossible that only people from Kyoto University would think of winning him over in advance.
After picking up the phone, before Russell could ask any questions, the person on the other end started talking like a machine gun.
"Hello, classmate Luo. I'm Shi Wenrao from Nanyang University. The school already knows about your relationship with Bachelor Bai. Don't worry, you will get everything you need. Don't listen to the sweet talk from other schools."
Russell listened to Shi Wenrao's words with a dark face.
It took several seconds to process the information he said.
"Someone from Beijing University called me just now." Russell didn't say anything else, just uttered this sentence.
"Those little bitches from Peking University!" Shi Wenrao's gritted teeth came from the other end of the phone, "Don't worry, Russell, I will report it to the school and will never treat you unfairly."
Shi Wenrao naturally realized why the people from Beijing University called Russell.
It was a close call. If I hadn’t reacted quickly enough, my home would have been robbed by those people from Kyoto University.
Seeing that Shi Wenrao had understood what he meant, Russell did not say anything else, but just said: "Teacher Shi, I hope you can help me tell the public that I will not consider early admission before the end of the Jiang Province Unified Examination."
"Leave it to me." Hearing Russell's words, Shi Wenrao felt relieved.
Although he had a relationship with Bai Yueming, he was still afraid that as a young man, Russell would not be able to control himself when faced with the prices offered by other schools.
But now that Russell has made it clear that he doesn't want to deal with such things before the Jiangxi Province Unified Examination, there will be no problem at all.
However, what he didn't consider was that if Russell's performance in the finals was even more eye-catching, other schools might really have to raise their prices to snatch him away.
You know, Bai Yueming is not the only master card maker in Ming Dynasty.
Since Shi Wenrao had already agreed, Russell had no desire to continue the conversation: "That's it, Mr. Shi, I have something else to do."
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore."
Looking at the phone in his hand, Shi Wenrao's eyes were filled with blazing fire: "You want to snatch people from our Nanjing University? No way!"
The next moment, a phone call was made: "Hello, Principal."
Throwing the phone aside, Russell breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally I can take a break."
However, the next moment.
"Jingle Bell!"
The phone rang again.
"Is this the end?" Russell took the phone speechlessly, suppressed his annoyed mood and answered the phone.
But to his surprise, it was not the university representative who came to him this time.
They are from the group watching the game.
Russell listened to the other party's chattering in silence, and then he said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't want to make a decision easily before the provincial unified examination."
After saying that, Russell hung up the phone.
The group representative looked at the busy tone on his phone and felt a little disappointed: "I didn't succeed."
The reason the group representative called at this time was naturally to see if they could sign a cooperation agreement with Russell right now.
If we can reach a cooperation now, we can save a lot of costs.
Fortunately, Russell is not the only genius in the Jiangxi Province Unified Examination.
The group representative showed a cunning smile on his face and dialed the phone: "Hello? Is this Mr. Xue?"
After this call, Russell never received any other harassing calls.
I think Shi Wenrao played a role.
Russell spent the two days of rest quite happily, meditating or playing with Blade Under Heart every day.
In the battlefield, Russell glanced at the remaining sixteen players, including himself.
Under the current circumstances, it is naturally impossible for parallel imports to exist.
Russell's opponent in the round of 16 is also an old acquaintance of his, Kong Cong, who is also from Shanghai.
