They saw Old Qin looking at them with a kind expression, but he looked like the Big Bad Wolf, and they felt that he didn't have any good intentions.
Seeing this, Xiao Liu felt something was amiss.
The three bigwigs must have something to say.
This is not something a nobody like him can listen to.
It wouldn't be good if it backfired.
No, he needs to find an excuse to slip away quickly.
Thinking about it this way, I had an idea.
Xiao Liu had never felt his mind was as clear as it was today.
"Please have a seat, Elder Qin. Elder He, Elder Chi, I'll go get you three some water."
After saying that, he ran to the water dispenser.
Looking left and right, he then said to the water dispenser, "That's strange, is this water dispenser broken? Why isn't the water hot for so long!"
The three big shots just watched as Xiao Liu stood there lying, even though the heating light was still on, but none of them called him out.
A few minutes later, Xiao Liu turned to the three bigwigs and said, "Old Qin, Old He, Old Chi, this water dispenser seems to be broken. I'll go find someone to fix it."
After saying that, he pushed open the door and ran away.
It was as if something was chasing him from behind.
That speed is enough for a 100-meter relay race.
The three big shots actually knew that Xiao Liu had taken the opportunity to escape.
I was afraid it would affect him.
Old Qin couldn't help but laugh. He just wanted to borrow a student; what bad intentions could he possibly have?
As soon as Xiao Liu ran away, the atmosphere became tense.
Both sides remained silent.
Professor Qin is a few years older than Professor Chi and Professor He, even though they are both visiting professors at Tsinghua University.
But to be precise, Qin Lao was their senior brother.
Normally, when Elder Chi and Elder He see Elder Qin, they use respectful titles.
Seeing that Qin Lao remained silent, Elder Chi and Elder He were on edge.
You know, finding a good prospect isn't easy.
Especially someone like Suya.
Just as the two bigwigs were about to catch their breath, they heard Old Qin say with a smile, "Old He, Old Chi, how have I treated you?"
"It's great. Over the years, Mr. Qin has taught me a lot and saved me from many detours."
"Old Chi said."
"Yes, I am grateful to Mr. Qin for his guidance and support over the years."
Old He chimed in.
"Why call me 'Old Qin' anymore? Call me 'Senior Brother'. Isn't that what you all used to call me?"
Old Chi and Old He exchanged a glance. "Damn it," they thought, "that's fine when we're young, but who calls someone 'senior brother' now that we're all so old? It's obvious Old Qin is just trying to get close to us." They knew they couldn't fall for it.
"It's more appropriate to call him Old Qin."
Elder Chi spoke up.
"Yes, yes, yes. Calling him Old Qin is appropriate, not Senior Brother."
Mr. He followed closely behind.
"Whether you're my senior brother or Elder Qin, I have a favor to ask of you. I wonder if you would be willing to grant it?"
Old Qin didn't say what it was about, but directly asked Old He and Old Chi to agree.
Old He and Old Chi were both shrewd people. They wouldn't dare agree so easily. What if it was a trap?
"Whether we agree or not depends on what Old Qin wants from us." Even if you treat us well, we wouldn't dare commit a crime if you asked us to. We don't want to risk our old age, right, Old He?
Although Elder Chi did not explicitly refuse, he also did not agree to Elder Qin's request.
Old Qin couldn't do anything about Old Chi.
But if I were to reveal this matter, I fear that Elder Chi and Elder He would not approve.
Old Qin was indeed in a bit of a dilemma.
"It's definitely not illegal. How could I ask my two junior brothers to do something illegal? This is not difficult at all. I guarantee that it's something you two can do with just a little effort."
Old Qin continued to offer words of comfort, but refused to say what it was about.
"Old Qin, what exactly is it? If you don't tell us, we won't know if it's something that can be done with a flick of the wrist. We're not as capable as you, Old Qin."
"This is really simple. It's just a matter of you two saying a word."
Old Qin just wouldn't say what it was about. He was still going to keep beating around the bush.
"If Elder Qin doesn't say what it is, then Elder He and I won't agree to anything, no matter how simple or trivial it is. Elder He, what do you think?"
"Yes, I agree with what Elder Chi said. No matter how big or small the matter is."
The more Qin Laoyue didn't say what it was about, the more Chi Laoyue and He Laoyue felt that Qin Laoyue was trying to take people away from them.
How could they dare to agree so easily?
The two sides practiced Tai Chi back and forth.
If you don't tell me, I won't respond.
I'll deal with whatever comes my way.
Old Qin realized that these two old foxes were not easy to fool.
They've talked themselves hoarse, and their words are so precise and thorough. They just won't budge. These are two tough nuts to crack.
"Since that's the case, then I won't beat around the bush. The reason I'm here today is to borrow a student from you."
Elder Chi and Elder He immediately became wary.
"I wonder who Elder Qin wants to borrow? And why doesn't he ask the school to pick up the students instead of asking the two of us?"
Old Chi pretended to be confused even though he knew the truth.
"I heard that among the candidates participating in this national selection competition, there is a female student named Su Ya?"
Old Chi and Old He looked at each other.
He finally said it.
I knew that this was the purpose of Elder Qin's visit.
"Oh, there is indeed such a female student? I wonder what Elder Qin intends to do with this student? Let me make it clear beforehand, anything illegal or disorderly is not acceptable."
Then, Qin Lao calmly said, "I also heard that this student got a perfect score in chemistry?"
What Mr. Chi wanted to say was that she not only got a perfect score in chemistry, but she got perfect scores in all her subjects.
But after thinking about Qin Lao's purpose, he held back.
We can't let him know; we have to put an end to her idea of stealing him away.
"Maybe we just happened to run into each other."
"Just because I happened to be there, does that mean I can get a perfect score on chemistry?"
Old Chi fell silent.
"I also heard that this student got full marks in all subjects!"
Old Qin's words were like a dull knife cutting flesh, causing Old Chi and Old He heartache.
"Old Qin, just say what you have to say."
Old Chi didn't want to be cut any further, so he preferred to let Old Qin finish speaking all at once.
"Here's the thing, I'd like Suya to participate in the International Chemistry Olympiad, so I'd like to hear your opinions first."
Then I heard Old Chi say, "Old Qin, Kyoto No. 1 High School doesn't have a chemistry competition class this year, isn't that in another school?"
If Kyoto No. 1 High School had a chemistry competition class, Professor Chi would have already recruited them. There would be no need to wait for Professor Qin.
"Yes, Kyoto No. 1 High School didn't have any openings today. They're from other schools."
“That makes sense. This Su Ya is a student at our Kyoto No. 1 High School. She can’t possibly go to another school to participate in the chemistry competition.”
"Old Chi put forward his idea."
"That's right. We discussed this situation for a long time and finally decided that Su Ya would participate in the chemistry competition as a student of Kyoto No. 1 Middle School."
