Chapter 309 Confidence
"You are a novelist. How much of what you told us... is embellished?" On the way to the celebration banquet, He Zixiang chased after Li Yan and asked.

"I basically told you what happened on the spot." Li Yan put his hands in his pockets and walked leisurely, "including what everyone said, basically it was reproduced word for word."

"You must be kidding. How can I remember it?" Lai Yining said with a smile.

"I can remember it."

For a moment, everyone couldn't tell whether Li Yan was joking or serious.

To everyone's surprise, two vice presidents of Huazhong University of Science and Technology came to the celebration banquet.

Including Computer Society.

It was normal for Principal Mu, who was in charge of admissions, to come here. After all, they had not yet formally agreed on the training method with Li Yan, so it would be a good opportunity to take this opportunity to find out Li Yan's intentions.

This kid has won another prestigious award. Who knows what big moves other universities may have in mind. BGI must show its utmost sincerity.

Principal Mu even worried that Li Yan would be noticed by foreign universities during this trip abroad... If a university with a higher world ranking than her came, she might be shaken given her childish nature.

If Li Yan knew that everyone thought of him like this, he would probably be speechless.

As an adult, can we start from our own interests?
All in all, it is reasonable for Mu Xiao to come, but why did Cai Zhendong come?
"Li Yan and I are old acquaintances."

Principal Cai's remarks were shocking, leaving these people who didn't pay much attention to literary and artistic content completely confused.

Principal Cai then gave a vivid description of Li Yan's performance at the joint summit of publishing houses.

He also added, "This kid turned down the 'Tianxing Literature Award' sponsored by Linjiang Province and came here."

Li Yan actually saw awe in the expressions of everyone looking at him.

"I now believe that you didn't add anything." He Zixiang was stunned. "What Principal Cai said was even more exaggerated than what you said."

"He mainly exaggerated my attitude towards him." Li Yan smiled, "I'm not that enthusiastic."

Grass.

"Lai Shen," Deng Yudi whispered as he approached Lai Yining, "Do you feel that... Li Yan doesn't look like a junior high school student?"

"I don't think he's a human being."

Cai Zhendong said he was excited, raised his glass and walked towards Li Yan. Even Chairman Du came over with his glass raised. The two adults were all smiling. When they walked to Li Yan's side, they suddenly heard Li Yan say:

"Forget about the toast."

Cai Zhendong laughed. "You are underage, how dare we let you drink? Here is coconut milk, you can use milk instead of wine! Li Yan, we all think..."

"No."

"Hey, kid, I didn't ask you to drink, you just wanted to clink glasses with the leader..." A staff member of the society nearby pushed Li Yan with a smile.

Li Yan looked at him with confusion, "Who are you?"

"Oh, I'm Chairman Du's assistant, my name is..."

"Are you the one who decides whether to clink glasses or not?"

Sorry, some not-so-nice memories have been awakened.

In her previous life, Li Yan was able to drink alcohol, but she didn't like it.

I’m happy to drink a little beer and eat barbecue occasionally, but I never touch liquor.

As a result, I was dragged to a drinking party during the first week of my internship. I had no idea what they were talking about, but I was constantly being urged to drink. After I finished drinking, I vomited all over the floor.

From then on, whenever he heard someone urging him to drink, his first reaction was to punch him twice.

This emotion rushed up all of a sudden.

I was just thinking about how to show off, how dare you guys persuade a minor to drink? Substitute wine is not wine?

Cai Zhendong and Du De were both shrewd people, and they would not quarrel with a child. The key point was that they still had to support the child, and there was absolutely no reason for them to have a quarrel for the sake of so-called face.

So the two of them naturally clinked their glasses, asked Li Yan to eat more, praised him a few words, and then returned to the main seat to continue chatting about the history of computer competitions over the past decade.

"It's strange. Sometimes you are more mature than a junior high school student..." He Zixiang stared at Li Yan blankly, "Sometimes... you are very willful, even a little childish."

"What? Just now I clinked glasses with my leader with milk instead of wine, and that's considered mature?" Li Yan smiled.

"So-called social etiquette..." "Don't." Li Yan took a sip of coconut milk. "It's not like I don't understand, but who is really willing to do this?"

"Anyway, I don't like it." Lai Yining replied.

It's impossible for a high school student who is still in the second year of middle school to be happy.

"One of the motivations for becoming stronger is to have the space to be willful and the power to be free." Li Yan poured another glass of milk. "I am now the key to prove my work performance in the Computer Society and the target of Huada's recruitment. It's not that I need them, but they need me."

The three teenagers couldn't sit still after hearing what they heard.

"At this time, I can naturally do what I like and what I want." Li Yan smiled, "It's so cool to be willful. If you don't like something, just do it. Later, they will have to apologize to you."

Alpaca, it’s on fire.

However, He Zixiang remained calm, "Are you sure this won't make any enemies?"

"So I won't go too far. I have to do both the slapping and the candy."

As soon as he finished speaking, Assistant Dude, who had just been humiliated by the question "Are you here to persuade me?", came over.

"Student Li Yan, you misunderstood just now. Chairman Du and Principal Cai just wanted to interact with you. I didn't notice that you were underage. Looking at you like this, I thought you were a college student."

What a stiff statement, assistant comrade.

Li Yan didn't say anything, but raised a glass of coconut milk, "It's all small things, let's be happy."

The assistant smiled, raised the tea, gestured, and drank it all.

"Are you happy about this again?" Deng Yudi didn't understand.

"The initiative is in my hands. I can touch it if I want to, and I won't touch it if I don't want to."

In any case, Li Yan was the absolute protagonist of the celebration banquet. The leaders were generous with their praises and almost praised Li Yan to the sky.

The meal lasted until nine o'clock in the evening, and the group returned to the society building one after another.

The two vice principals also followed, and their purpose was obvious.

They followed Li Yan into the society's highest-standard negotiation room.

The room has excellent privacy and comfort, elegant decoration, and a mahogany tea table - obviously this is of no use to Li Yan.

Principal Mu was too lazy to make tea. This bald but kind-looking middle-aged man had droopy eyes and was very non-aggressive. He spoke in a soft voice:

"Li Yan, this is a rare opportunity, so I won't waste my time. Huada currently has some plans for the junior class, and I want to hear what you think."

"Just talk about what's related to me." Li Yan nodded seriously.

Principal Mu just chuckled, "It won't involve other people. Our junior class this time is completely different from the previous ones. You can think of this junior class as an 'Excellent Junior Class'."

These are the only two words I keep repeating over and over again.

"There are only 100 places in the country. Huada will select students based on their grades and performance. It will set up teaching sites in famous schools in the four major regions of Huaxia. The one in South China will be set up in Xinbei Middle School."

This also met Li Yan's wish to attend classes at New Taipei Middle School.

"You can rest assured about the teaching staff. Students in the Huada Outstanding Youth Class can be understood as going to college in advance. We will mobilize the best teaching resources and teach you in a super small class system."

Principal Mu thought that after hearing this, Li Yan would at least wow him once or twice, but he didn't expect the child to remain calm.

"The teaching is not normal high school teaching, nor is it even competition teaching. Instead, it is tailored to the characteristics of the students in the Outstanding Youth Class and the topics they are interested in. It is entirely possible that one teacher only teaches one student. Our original intention is to ensure that the talent of the gifted students is not wasted in the slightest."

Li Yan remained indifferent.

Principal Mu suddenly became a little nervous. "Moreover, during the study of the junior class, as long as you pass the evaluation of the teacher group, you can come to Huada University at any time without taking any exams."

Li Yan even scratched the lump on his elbow, damn mosquito.

"Well, Li Yan, do you have any ideas?"

"Is it possible to visit for these topics?"

Young man, I, Old Mu, have spent so much time preparing, yet you still managed to ask me about my blind spots.

amazing.
