Chapter 1347: Talent
Bai Liyue laid on the comfortable bed and was very grateful. "Alright, Second Uncle. I won't stand on ceremony then."
Aiden, Selina, and Dan Qi stayed in the room to accompany Bai Liyue. Nuannuan and Chi Yang needed to go down and greet the guests.
The moment they descended the stairs, they heard the awkward conversation of Grandpa Nangong and Grandpa Chi bragging about her.
"Grandpa, Grandpa Chi, I'm back."
Since Nuannuan usually stayed at the Chi residence to accompany Chi Yang's grandfather, she had never returned to the Nangong family. Therefore, her grandfather's tolerance for Grandpa Chi had already reached its limit. Eventually, to please everyone better, Nuannuan discussed with Grandpa Chi—when Grandpa Nangong was not around, she would call Old Master Chi Grandpa. When her Grandpa Nangong was around, she would call Old Master Chi Grandpa Chi instead.
"Little Girl, you're back!"
"Little Girl, come over here. Come, come, come. Let Grandpa introduce you. This is the father of the Education Office's director. You can call him Grandfather Zhang."
"Hello, Grandfather Zhang." Nangong Nuannuan looked at the kind-looking Grandfather Zhang and smiled sweetly like the sweet girl who lived next door.
"Hello, hello! You did well this time. Not only did you dampen your opponents' spirits, but you also made them lose so much face. In the past few years, as our country's overall strength developed rapidly, Yamato had always wanted to compete with us in everything to prove their excellence. Clearly, after realizing that they can never compare to us in terms of our weapon, they want to start competing with us in terms of the overall quality of our youngsters. They thought they can win against us by comparing the next generation. This time, in spite of all the calculations they pit against us, you were still able to expose their true colors. This matter caused a sensation in Yamato. Nuannuan, you're practically the role model for our country's high school students!"
"Thank you for praising me, Grandfather Zhang. I was just lucky to discover their plot," Nangong Nuannuan replied humbly.
"Heh, alright, alright. That's enough. Let me talk to Nuannuan." Another grandfather pushed Grandfather Zhang aside and inched closer to Nuannuan. Without even needing Grandpa Nangong and Grandpa Chi to introduce themselves, he introduced himself. "Nuannuan, I'm the principal of Emperor District University. You can call me Grandfather Liu."
"Hello, Grandfather Liu."
"You're so outstanding! Have you ever thought of studying at Emperor District University? In the future, whether you want to study politics or business, there are all sorts of academic faculties in Emperor District University that are suitable for you. Furthermore…"
"Old Liu, what are you talking about? Didn't you hear what Old Chi said about Nuannuan's mystical acupuncture skills?"
Before the principal could finish speaking, another old master interrupted him.
"Nuannuan, I'm your grandfather's good friend. My surname is Zeng. I'm the principal of Emperor District Medical University."
"Greetings, Grandfather Zeng." Even though the situation was a little chaotic, Nuannuan maintained a smile and handled the situation with ease.
"I know you have prodigal talent in the field of medicine. What do you think? Are you interested in coming to our school? We have a full scholarship!"
"Okay, you two! Nuannuan is a student that the Emperor District Military Medical University has already reserved!"
Just as Grandfather Liu and Grandfather Zeng started to fight for a student and about to make enemies of each other, an old master, who was clad in the military uniform and remained silent the whole time, spoke up.
"Nuannuan, my surname is Xu. Xu Ming, the current principal of Emperor District Military Medical University, is my son."
"Hello, Grandfather Xu."
