Chapter 439: Chapter 439: So I Have So Much Potential in Your Eyes?

Xie Yu wasn’t that he couldn’t study well, he just didn’t want to.

Once he was willing to study, naturally his grades improved.

His rapid improvement wasn’t solely the result of the tutoring.

Of course, her contribution was indispensable, after all, her tutoring plan wasn’t devised for nothing.

But regardless of whose credit it was, the fact was that Xie Yu’s grades had improved.

His mother thanked Shen Zhaozhao profusely over the phone.

And after hanging up the phone, Shen Zhaozhao felt for the first time that she might actually be quite impressive.

No matter what, if it hadn’t been for her, Xie Yu certainly wouldn’t have suddenly become so diligent.

They had agreed from the start that if one party improved their grades, the other would invite them to visit the school and, by the way, introduce them to Sheng Chuyi.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Zhaozhao turned to Sheng Chuyi opposite her, “Um, are you free this weekend?”

“What’s up?” Sheng Chuyi asked.

Shen Zhaozhao: “I’ve been tutoring someone recently, from Jiu Middle School, that guy who admires you a lot. I promised him that if he did well on his exam, I would bring him to meet you. The exams just ended, and he did quite well. I figured since I made a promise, I should fulfill it. If you’re not busy, how about we have a meal together this weekend?”

“Sure,” Sheng Chuyi said, “Should I book a restaurant in advance?”

“No need! We’ll just grab something casual in the cafeteria.” Although his mother paid quite a bit for the tutoring, she had also put in corresponding effort. Treating that kid to the cafeteria was generous enough. He shouldn’t even dream about a restaurant, that would be too good for him.

“Alright then!” Seeing that she seemed to have made up her mind, Sheng Chuyi didn’t say anything further.

The weekend came around in a blink of an eye.

Xie Yu got out of the taxi and texted Shen Zhaozhao, “I’ve arrived at your school, where are you?”

Since Xie Yu had done well on his exams, Shen Zhaozhao took the initiative to mention to Mrs. Xie that she wanted to give him a tour of Jing University, and Mrs. Xie didn’t object. She liked the idea of exposing the brat early to the scholarly atmosphere of a higher education institution, perhaps it could spark his motivation to study.

“Hold on!” About five minutes later, Shen Zhaozhao appeared at the school gate.

“Where’s your boyfriend?” Xie Yu looked behind her, seeing only her, he couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow and said, “Didn’t we agree you’d bring your boyfriend to meet me?”

Shen Zhaozhao rolled her eyes at him, “What’s the rush? You’ll meet him eventually. Come on, let’s take a tour of our school first.”

Even though it was the weekend, you could see people studying everywhere at Jing University – in study rooms, the library, classrooms, coffee shops… including by the lake and in the woods.

“Do universities also have such intense competition?” He had thought that the three years of high school were the toughest, but the competition here seemed even more intense than at his high school.

Shen Zhaozhao gave him a “naive” look, “What did you think? That just anybody can get into Jing University? Ninety-nine percent of those who do make it here are top students.”

Jing University was very large, and Shen Zhaozhao only took him around a few places.

“So how do you feel after the tour, got any thoughts?”

Xie Yu raised an eyebrow, “What kind of thoughts do you expect me to have?”

Shen Zhaozhao: “Like, do you want to try for Jing University?”

At this, Xie Yu couldn’t help but laugh, his demeanor careless, “So you see such potential in me?” His mother thinks he won’t even make it into a decent undergraduate program, yet she’s asking if he wants to try for Jing University.

It reminded him of how adults always loved to ask kids: Do you want to go to Jing University? Or Hua University?

As if they could really get in.
