901 Going to School with Sister-in-law
Shen Hanxing was helpless. There were so many people here. How could she pretend that they didn’t exist? Moreover, after the collaboration on the previous project in the East District, she had a good impression of Professor Xu Jinhe’s integrity. Professor Xu was genuinely concerned about the welfare of the people, so she couldn’t keep him waiting for long.
Shen Hanxing quickly drank a bowl of porridge and instructed the servant to bring a fruit tray.
“Classmate Shen, you see, Professor Xu and our university are very sincere,” the admission officer smiled and spoke as Shen Hanxing took her seat. Initially, he was a bit awkward, but as he continued speaking, he became more fluent. “Our S University is one of the top universities in the country, with good programs and faculties. Pursuing a Master’s or a Ph.D. there would be a great choice. Since you are familiar with Professor Xu Jinhe, it would be a delightful outcome if you could join his research group after passing the graduate entrance examination.”
Having finished speaking, the admission officer noticed Ji Mo, who had just finished his meal and stood up. His eyes lit up, and he said, “Ji Mo, our S University is a prestigious institution with a century-long history. It is absolutely trustworthy, with a strong academic atmosphere and rich humanistic qualities. The undergraduate programs are excellent as well. Ji Mo, why don’t you consider joining us? It would be a wonderful story if you and Classmate Shen entered the university together.”
Initially, the admission officer was unfamiliar with the situation since S University seldom actively recruited students. However, Xu Jinhe’s persuasion, combined with Shen Hanxing’s outstanding grades, made their visit less surprising.
“I’ll follow my sister-in-law’s suggestion,” Ji Mo’s eyes brightened. He pursed his lips and obediently sat down on the sofa. He placed his hands on his knees and meekly said, “But I’m very interested in painting.” Although his grades were excellent, his true passion lay in art. He didn’t pursue an artistic path initially due to his biological mother, but recently, he had been studying painting under the guidance of Maestro Lin Ran’s father. His painting skills had become even more refined, and his enthusiasm for art had grown.
“Our fine arts program at S University is also well-known!” The admissions officer’s face lit up upon hearing Ji Mo’s words. He quickly said, “The renowned painter, Maestro Lin Ran, is an honorary professor at our Fine Arts School. Many outstanding young artists graduated from our university. When you come here, you can apply for a second degree and study alongside the students in the Fine Arts School!”
The fine arts program at S University was truly something to be proud of!
Ji Mo’s heart was indeed moved, and his gaze couldn’t help but fall on Shen Hanxing.
“Why are you looking at your Sister-in-law?” Ji Yan frowned and was a little unhappy. “You’re an adult. You can make your own decisions.” He couldn’t understand why someone at Ji Mo’s age would still cling to others. It was one thing to compete with him for his wife at home, but wanting to go to school with her too? It was wishful thinking!
“Now that you’re an adult, you can make decisions for your own future,” Shen Hanxing also nodded with a smile, encouraging Ji Mo. “Follow your heart in making decisions. You don’t have to go to the same university as me, right?”
Ji Mo pursed his lips, but he genuinely wanted to attend the same university as his sister-in-law!
Under Ji Yan’s intense gaze, Ji Mo could only lower his eyes and compromise, saying, “Okay, I will consider it seriously.”
“That’s alright. Take your time to consider,” the admissions officer noticed Ji Mo’s interest and handed him the university’s prospectus with a beaming smile. “Ji Mo, your grades are also outstanding. If you come to S University, we can directly arrange the second degree program for you, allowing you to study with the students from the Fine Arts School.”
Seeing that the admissions officer was drifting off-topic, Professor Xu Jinhe became anxious and cleared his throat subtly. “Ahem, ahem!”
Taking the hint, the admissions officer smiled at Ji Mo and quickly handed the prepared brochure to Shen Hanxing. “Classmate Shen, you have undoubtedly heard of the reputation of our S University. As you can see, we have great sincerity. Professor Xu Jinhe has been urging me to come here since early this morning, fearing that you might choose another university. I know that the Ji Family is not lacking in wealth, but our university is willing to offer tuition waivers for exceptional students like you, along with generous scholarships at the end of each term.”
Indeed, the admissions officer from a prestigious university knew how to speak calmly and comfortably at such moments, displaying their attitude. Their visit this time was solely focused on Shen Hanxing as an outstanding student, not because of her status as the current first lady of the renowned Ji Family or her online popularity.
