Chapter 18: Chapter 18 Xiao's Worldview Is Overturned Once Again
Everyone had already turned their gaze to Yu Chenggong.
Especially since his several bout of violent coughs directly interrupted Zhang Chunlei's words.
But Yu Chenggong didn't care; he knew that the professors didn't really respect him anyway, so naturally, he didn't feel the need to take these mathematicians seriously.
Therefore, he directly began speaking amiably, "Hey, Ms. Lu, the professors have already said a lot, so let me just have a quick word with you. Really, from the perspective of a recruitment teacher, the conditions offered by the professors are quite good, especially Professor Zhang. Jiang University, as a famous institution in Huaxia, to offer such terms, their sincerity is truly at its maximum!"
This statement made Zhang Chunlei, who had been interrupted, look a bit better.
In fact, Zhang Chunlei was the one who least wanted Yu Chenggong to come along.
He always felt that this guy would cause trouble.
And sure enough, when Yu Chenggong spoke again, the tone had changed, "But Ms. Lu, after all, you initially came to see me yesterday, so I also need to remind you from the professional perspective of a recruitment teacher - including Professor Zhang, the conditions they've promised just now might look good but are actually impossible to include in a contract.
I've been in recruitment for over ten years, and I've never heard of ensuring that a child can maximize scholarships and grants being directly written into a contract! Even if it were possible, it would definitely come with many restrictive clauses. And those clauses will definitely include many that are unfavorable to the child.
The simplest example, even if the top scorer of the college entrance examination did poorly in university, would they still get a scholarship? Would the other students accept that?"
These words immediately calmed down Lu Xiuxiu, who had been overjoyed.
Right, why should it be? What if her son Qiao Ze became ill again at university, would the professors' promises still hold true?
Of course, Yu Chenggong's words also directly provoked public indignation, especially Zhang Chunlei, who almost stood up in anger, "Teacher Yu, what are you implying?! Are you saying that I, Zhang Chunlei, don't keep my word?"
"No, no, no, of course I don't mean that. But Professor Zhang, why don't you make a call to Jiang University's admissions office right now, let's put it on speaker and listen together to see if the head of the admissions office dares to issue an independent admission contract like you've just described without any conditions?"
Yu Chenggong still had a smile plastered on his face, speaking softly and gently, but his words were unyielding.
Seeing Yu Chenggong's confident demeanor, Zhang Chunlei suddenly lost his nerve, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
After all, he was really not sure about the restrictions involved in drafting an admission contract; a distinguished professor like himself, why would he bother with the trivial matters of school recruiting?
More importantly, he knew the people within that system all too well.
They would definitely respect his wishes on minor matters, but when it came to issues that required accountability, if he made a call now, the other side would probably just start beating around the bush and certainly wouldn't give him a straightforward answer.
Even if he swore the heavens would hold him accountable if the school faced repercussions, they wouldn't believe him.
Who in the school's administrative hierarchy, all sly as ancient foxes, would believe in swearing oaths?
Even Zhang Chunlei himself knew that if there were any policy violations that led to the school seeking accountability, it certainly wouldn't be him, a professor with future prospects, getting the brunt of it. It was likely that the admissions office would be made the scapegoat.
That's awkward!
He was too excited yesterday and neglected to do his homework in advance.
This move to make an on-the-spot phone call, putting it on speaker, was just too ruthless, targeting his vulnerable spot.
As for the other professors who wanted to refute Yu Chenggong, they too were silenced by his words.
How would these mathematicians possibly understand the matters of independent recruitment contracts?
Thus, all the dissatisfied professors turned their eyes to Li Jiangao...
Who the hell asked you to bring the school's recruitment teacher here?
Suddenly feeling enormous pressure, Li Jiangao held his cup, his eyes fixed intently on the teacup in his hand.
Pretending as if he hadn't heard a thing.
Damn it, just let it all go to hell, I'm tired!
At this moment, the person who was probably the most relaxed was none other than Xiao, the owner who sat there enjoying the spectacle.
Even this supermarket owner had a moment of realization.
No wonder the professors spoke so beautifully?
He thought, attending university for free and making money too? Where on earth does such a good deal exist? Turns out the professors were all painting pies in the sky!
Oh, he knows that too!
Teacher Yu is really the professional!
...
After a moment of silence, it was Yu Chenggong who took the initiative to break the awkward stalemate, "Haha, it seems that Professor Zhang isn't planning to make a call at this time, so I'll continue. Actually, showing sincerity is quite simple. Ms. Lu, let me just tell you about the promises I can make and keep."
Lu Xiuxiu hurriedly nodded and said, "Sure, Teacher Yu, please go ahead."
Yu Chenggong smiled and said, "Firstly, our Xilin University of Technology has a special fund for impoverished students, aimed specifically at outstanding students from families with difficulties. I've inquired about your family situation through Teacher Zhou, and it fully meets the criteria for applying for the fund.
So, as long as we sign the contract today, before Qiao Ze officially enrolls in the school, this money can be deposited into your provided account, a total of three hundred thousand yuan! Of course, this also requires signing another contract. This money should mainly be used for the child's expenses during his studies."
As soon as these words were spoken, the other professors couldn't sit still anymore.
"Teacher Yu, have you no shame? Isn't this a violation of the admissions policy?"
"Well, Professor Liu, our Xilin University of Technology's admissions guidelines indeed have specific provisions, you know. They allow for a one-time cash grant to students who truly have difficult family circumstances, and this is also in response to the national call to alleviate poverty. If you don't believe me, I can pull it up for you right now.
If you're still doubtful, why don't you give our director a call right now, and let him explain it to you?"
"We should have something like that at our school too!"
"Ahem, that's for you to verify. After all, I'm not a recruiter for your school, am I? How would I know what policies your school has?"
"Xiu Xiu, don't rush, wait for me to make a call to our admissions office to ask. Whatever Xilin University of Technology can provide, I refuse to believe our school can't match it!"
...
Watching the professors either stepping out of the office to make calls or starting to send WeChat messages, Yu Chenggong continued unhurriedly, "Secondly, considering Qiao Ze's special situation, I can apply to the school to let you accompany him in his studies and arrange a temporary job for you.
For example, as a dormitory manager, the main duties include assisting students with their accommodation arrangements and managing students' dormitory behavior according to the school's regulations. The pay isn't much, about four thousand or so, but it includes meals and accommodation, and it's relatively easy work. It would allow you to be close to Qiao Ze and take care of him."
Hearing this condition, Lu Xiuxiu's eyes lit up.
This really was so thoughtful.
She truly wasn't comfortable with Qiao Ze going off to study on his own, but after all, she needed to make a living to support the family.
As for the one-time grant of three hundred thousand yuan, it was indeed substantial, but Lu Xiuxiu wanted to save it for her son to buy a house and get married in the future.
"Thirdly, a full tuition waiver."
"I can't guarantee that Qiao Ze will definitely get all the scholarships and other social donations for student aid, as this requires him to maintain satisfactory grades during his time at school. But I can unconditionally assure you that Qiao Ze will have an extra monthly living allowance, not much, about two thousand or so.
This money will be deposited directly into Qiao Ze's student card, which cannot be withdrawn in cash, but can only be used for on-campus expenses such as dormitory utilities, meals in the cafeteria, showers in the bathhouse, and the like, as they can all be directly charged to the student card."
"As for other things like going abroad for exchanges, some special competition rewards, and the pursuit of various honors, that will depend on Qiao Ze's performance after he starts school. But think about it, although Professor Li is currently only an associate professor, his prospects are boundless. Plus, he gets along with Qiao Ze.
Don't you think if these opportunities arise, Professor Li would help Qiao Ze fight for them? Right?"
Lu Xiuxiu was completely moved.
She subconsciously looked towards her son, who hadn't said a word.
Qiao Ze was indifferent...
He just felt that this morning was quite boring, and these adults were quite boring too.
He had emphasized time and again that he would only go to Xilin University of Technology, and he didn't understand why these people were still wasting so much time talking.
It was Uncle Li who understood him, who also hadn't said a word of nonsense.
When he saw his mother looking at him, Qiao Ze thought of what Li Jiangao had instructed him, and reluctantly said again, "I'm going to Xilin University of Technology."
Lu Xiuxiu breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Chenggong smiled.
Xiao was dumbfounded!
So Teacher Yu meant to serve up a huge pie directly!
Thirty thousand yuan just for studying? Not to mention a tuition waiver, but also an additional two thousand yuan for living expenses every month? Additionally, even resolving the parent's employment issue?
Could it be that his two sons had gone to some fake universities?!
