The Tender Beauty is Sweetly Doted in the 20th Century Novel!-Chapter 181 - 180: Tooth-Aching Jealousy!

He simply recounted how he encountered this group of people, and Ye Manman and He Chen both displayed a look of understanding.

"So you’re from the Qing University’s admissions office?"

Ye Manman stood up, somewhat puzzled, but still politely walked into the yard, and invited them to come inside and have a seat.

"Hello, I’m Ye Manman. Could you please show me your identification documents to verify your identity?"

To be cautious, Ye Manman did not immediately believe this group of people. Although they looked elegant, and one of them was holding a book, there were many impostors and frauds pretending to be students in these times, so she couldn’t be sure of their true identity.

She didn’t show any signs of surprise or ecstasy. Instead, she remained calm and composed, which particularly delighted the few teachers who had come for recruitment.

The female teacher holding the book handed what she had to Ye Manman with a face full of gratification.

"Hello, Mr. Ye. I am a teacher from the Mathematics Department of Qing University. My surname is Cai, you can call me Mrs. Cai. This is our school’s admissions brochure and a complimentary book."

As if anticipating Ye Manman’s doubts, she specifically brought the school’s admissions brochure. The complimentary book was typically only handed out with the admission notice to new students after they were admitted, but she brought it along as well.

After confirming they were indeed teachers from Qing University, Ye Manman apologetically smiled at them.

"I’m sorry, my suspicions were mainly because my first choice is Qing University, so I didn’t quite understand why the admissions office would come to find me. I hope the teachers won’t be upset."

She wanted to make tea for the teachers, but He Chen quickly asked her to sit, and he went to make the tea instead.

The teachers, seeing this, smiled widely.

An older male teacher explained, "No, no, we brought the admission brochure to prove our identity. As for why we came to find you, it was to show our school’s sincerity."

He pointed to a spectacled male teacher sitting next to him, "Mr. Ye, let me introduce you to Mr. Wang from our Chemistry Department."

Ye Manman politely smiled, nodded slightly, and greeted him. The older teacher then gestured towards Mr. Wang’s left, to the elegantly poised female teacher with beautiful curly hair.

"This is Mrs. Chen from the Foreign Languages Department."

Foreign Languages Department?

Ye Manman glanced at Mrs. Chen again, having a very good first impression of this teacher.

Seeing this, the older male teacher laughed heartily, "It seems like Mr. Ye is interested in the Foreign Languages Department? Then perhaps I don’t need to introduce myself, hahaha."

He teased her, seeing Ye Manman’s slight blush, and fearing she might be embarrassed, he continued.

"I am Mr. Nie from the Chinese Department, and also the head of the admissions office. Considering your high scores in all subjects, particularly full marks in Mathematics, English, and Chemistry, the school is concerned about losing talent, so we came to ask about your intentions first."

Mr. Nie appeared very friendly and spoke gently.

He looked at Ye Manman with anticipation, "If you confirm your intention to enroll at Qing University, we will send you the admission notice as soon as we return. Since your place is far away from Jing City, the school can help you apply for a dormitory, and you can move in August."

After saying this, Mr. Nie, seemingly concerned about sincerity, added.

"If there are any financial difficulties, the school can also provide you with the first year’s subsidy in advance. This decision was already discussed as your scores are almost perfect and your family conditions are not as good as children from the city. The school is willing to cover all your university costs, waive tuition fees. How does that sound?"

This was indeed an expression of full sincerity. Ye Manman’s first choice was already Qing University, and now the school was offering such favorable conditions, there was no reason for her not to agree.

"Then I will wait at home for the school’s admission notice. I appreciate you teachers coming all this way in such hot weather."

She proactively stood up to shake hands with the teachers, "I will definitely study hard in the future to bring glory to the school and contribute to society. I hope the teachers won’t find me dull."

Her agreement immediately brought smiles to the four teachers’ faces, and the five of them, as if old friends reunited, soon began a lively conversation. The atmosphere inside quickly became warm and cheerful.

He Chen, the team leader, stood by the side watching. Though he could not join the conversation, it did not affect the shock and joy in their hearts.

Especially the team leader, who almost couldn’t resist the urge to run outside with a loudspeaker to announce to the whole village that Ye Manman was going to Qing University with all expenses paid, and that the school had sent people to invite her specially!

Having lived most of his life, he had never seen such a setup. Qing University and Beijing University are the most famous universities in the country. Previously, they were something that the uneducated people like them dared not even dream of, just mentioning them would feel impressive.

Every little child’s dream back then was to attend Qing University or Beijing University.

But living to his 50s and 60s, the team leader had only now seen someone like Ye Manman get into Qing University, and with Qing University actively seeking her out.

He felt this life was truly worthwhile, just standing in the He family’s house with these knowledgeable teachers made him feel slightly cultured.

When Ye Manman and the four teachers finished discussing enrollment and choosing a department, the teachers began to head back to Jing City.

Not every student exceeding the admission threshold would have teachers personally visiting them, and there were many matters awaiting their attention at school. They would have to endure a long train ride back to Jing City, so they couldn’t stay long.

"Then we’ll head back to the school first. When you come to the school, if there’s anything you don’t understand, feel free to find us. Although your future belongs to the Foreign Languages Department, it doesn’t stop our Mathematics Department from welcoming you. You are always welcome to audit our classes. If you’re interested, I can also handle your departmental transfer."

Before leaving, Mrs. Cai made these remarks, which prompted Mrs. Chen beside her to pat her arm in frustration, "What are you saying? Daring to snatch my student from me in broad daylight? Your Mathematics Department is full of bookworms, Mr. Ye won’t change their mind, just give up."

Mrs. Cai retorted, "That’s the case now, but who knows in the future. My students often praise my classes as fun and humorous. You, with your strict artistic flower quizzes in class, could never out-charm me."

"I am being responsible for my students! The classroom should be a serious and firm place!"

"..."

The two female teachers started directly vying for a student.

If they were not all well-educated people who could spar solely with words, they might have ended up in a fight halfway.

The two male teachers stood by without speaking.

They found it hard to say anything.

After all, Ye Manman never gave them, from the Chinese and Chemistry Departments, any chance. Even if they wanted to argue, they couldn’t.

They realized their return journey would require not only comforting these two pleased women but also enduring their own inner pangs of jealousy.

It was enough to set their teeth on edge. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The teachers said goodbye to Ye Manman at the door, just as many villagers, who had gone back to get gifts such as local chicken eggs, arrived.

Without a word they placed the items they brought in He Family’s yard. Stepping outside to see these city folks, dressed well, speaking elegantly, and exuding a scholarly air, filled them with curiosity.

Seeing the team leader there, someone quickly asked, "Captain, are these people here for Ye Manman? But Ye Family doesn’t have any relatives in the city, right?"
