Chapter 92: Chapter 92: The Big Boss’s Extraordinary Identity

"I’m not sure either." Jiang Man shrugged, spreading her hands.

It seemed that Commander Xia had informed the tycoons about something, and that was why they had come to poach her.

What exactly was disclosed would have to be asked of Commander Xia himself.

"This..." The entire room fell into dead silence for a moment.

The leaders of the five colleges were waiting for Jiang Man’s response.

The principal and the school directors looked at each other in bewilderment, completely confused.

"Pfft." Wu Yingfan, who had been sitting in the corner, couldn’t help but snicker.

The drama at Northern Sound Academy was indeed amusing, one act after another.

He knew Sister Man’s temperament; she wouldn’t choose any of these universities.

If it weren’t for dealing with Lu Xingzhou, she probably wouldn’t even glance at this broken Northern Sound Academy.

"Director Ke, what is going on exactly?" the principal asked with a fawning expression.

Director Ke was among the more amiable tycoons and always answered when asked.

Director Ke raised his eyebrows in surprise: "You didn’t know the young lady is managing a project for the National Research Institute? It seems like a big project."

"That’s indeed the case!" The principal had not expected this at all.

Being able to work on a project for the National Research Institute definitely meant that she was a rare talent.

"Mr. Lu, you were wrong here. Mrs. Lu is young and talented; why didn’t you say so earlier? We almost missed out on a pillar of talent!" the principal couldn’t help but blame.

Lu Xingzhou frowned.

A pillar?

Working as a cleaner at the research institute, and that counts as a pillar?

However, he indeed had underestimated Jiang Man’s capability, that she could actually get Commander Xia to intervene.

Was Commander Xia perhaps acting favorably towards her because of her four uncles?

The Lu family could definitely hold its own compared to the Hu family.

As long as he was persistent, there was no doubt Jiang Man would stay.

But now that Commander Xia had stepped in, it naturally saved him a lot of trouble.

"Missed out on a pillar? What do you mean?" Professor Qian was good at catching the crux and couldn’t help but ask.

The principal’s face turned sheepish, and he chuckled embarrassedly: "Jiang Man actually entered Northern Sound Academy without taking the college entrance exam. This was exposed on the school forum, and to smooth things over, we wanted to ask her to leave..."

Towards the end, the principal almost wished he could slap himself.

Upon hearing this, Professor Qian’s eyes bulged, his gaze glinting terrifyingly.

Commander Xia had revealed to them that Jiang Man was no ordinary person and was currently working on a Level-S project at the research institute.

Hearing that she wanted to study, he kindly approached the top five colleges, hoping they would compete for this tycoon on their own merits.

According to Commander Xia, Jiang Man was definitely a talent, a once-in-a-century kind of talent!

Afterward, when they investigated Jiang Man, they found absolutely no information about her.

This proved one thing—she was being protected by the state, and outsiders couldn’t access her records.

A person protected by the state was undoubtedly of the highest caliber.

"No wonder your school is just a second-tier college, completely clueless!"

"Ms. Jiang Man, we won’t put up with this treatment; Peking University welcomes you."

The five top colleges were all very polite.

The principal and the school directors chuckled sheepishly, beads of sweat the size of beans appearing on their foreheads.

They were afraid of offending the Lu family but even more afraid of offending the state.

What exactly was Jiang Man’s background? So mysterious, yet seemingly remarkable?

"Enough." Jiang Man was getting a headache from all their noise.

She spoke coldly, irritation evident on her brow.

"I’m not going to any of your five colleges. I may have some skills, but I’m not good-tempered, and teaching is unlikely. Besides, I truly lack a diploma in China, which wouldn’t satisfy everyone."

Composed and imposing, Jiang Man declared, "Here’s the thing, isn’t there an entrance exam at the beginning of the school year? Then, let the school administration broadcast my exam process to the whole school during that time."

"What?" The principal and the school directors were somewhat stunned.

If the tests were publicized, wouldn’t the whole school witness the birth of the academic underachiever?

"Although our school’s entrance exams aren’t as hard as the college entrance exams, they are still not easy... Jiang Man... Madam Lu, I think we should call off this decision?"

The principal said.

A group of trustees immediately seconded, "Yes, yes."

Jiang Man raised an eyebrow, her expression both agitated and cold, showing little patience, "Do as I say, and also, I’ll be entering the national art competition this year. If I win the championship, that should silence the critics, right?"

"That should do it!" The principal’s eyes lit up, somewhat expectantly, "Could it be you have a special talent?"

"That’s not something you need to worry about," Jiang Man said before standing up abruptly.

The office was filled with the smell of smoke, something she couldn’t stand, "I’ll be leaving if there’s nothing else."

"Together." Lu Xingzhou stood up too, his posture erect and his demeanor outstanding.

Keeping pace with Jiang Man, he mentioned indifferently, "We need to stop by the old mansion tomorrow, the Divine Doctor is coming over."

"Oh?" Jiang Man raised her eyebrows, having forgotten about that.

Someone had taken the liberty of inviting a fake divine doctor to impersonate her.

"Alright." She was quite intrigued, looking forward to what would happen the next day.

The two walked shoulder to shoulder, exuding strong presences, a perfect match.

The age difference didn’t seem out of place at all.

"Truly a perfect match," the principal couldn’t help muttering.

The bigwigs of the top five schools sighed, all very disappointed.

"Why does Jiang Man insist on staying at the Northern Music Institute?"

"What’s so good about the Northern Music Institute?"

"Maybe she wants to dabble in the arts?"

"Our Peking University’s art schools aren’t bad either."

The bigwigs shook their heads, left without even a greeting, each losing interest as they departed.

Leaving the principal and trustees bewildered in place.

"Principal, what is Jiang Man really all about?" One trustee couldn’t help asking.

The principal looked innocent, "I don’t know, she doesn’t even have a student record, and the information Madam Lu provided was very brief."

"You’ve really failed as a principal, we almost lost a pillar and a new library!"

"Get your act together and deal with that forum issue quickly!"

The group of trustees grumbled.

...

Shortly after Jiang Man got into the car with Lu Xingzhou, she received a private message from Zhang Ziqi.

[Sister Man, the forum post has been deleted. I definitely support you. That original poster must be trying to slander you!]

Jiang Man smirked when she saw the message.

[It’s not exactly slander, half true, half false.]

She quickly replied.

Zhang Ziqi almost immediately responded:

[Even if it’s true, I support you, Sister Man! Clinging to a tycoon would save decades of struggle. If it were me, I’d grab hold of such an opportunity without feeling ashamed. Those who blacken your name are just sour-graping!]

[Eh? Sister Man, I saw you get into a Maybach with a man, is that guy your brother-in-law?]

Through the phone screen, Jiang Man could almost smell the strong scent of gossip.

Her instinct told her she disliked this gossip from Zhang Ziqi.

"Jiang Man."

Jiang Man decided to ignore Zhang Ziqi and was about to open a gaming app.

Just then, a deep voice reached her ears.

Next, a man’s solid elbow propped itself next to her, pinning her against the seat.

"You’re not just a janitor at the National Research Institute, are you? Why would Professor Xia go to such great lengths to recommend you to the academy?"

"Jiang Man, how many more secrets do you have that I don’t know about?"
