After the agreement was signed, Teacher Ouyang took the other admissions teachers out for a meal. He had originally wanted Luo Yao's family to join them, but Luo Yao refused.
Teacher Ouyang figured the family probably had things to discuss, so he did not insist on taking them along.
The moment Li Hong saw that the agreement had been signed, she knew she had lost her chance. She took the opportunity to leave as well.
Once the admissions teachers had stepped out of the small restaurant, Teacher Wu asked the classic question: "Where are we eating now?"
"Isn't there a place nearby? Let's eat there. I still need to discuss the follow-up arrangements with Luo later."
"Fine. You were the one who signed him today, after all!"
"Hahaha, teachers, eat and drink as much as you like at lunch today. It's all on me!" Having completed his mission, Teacher Ouyang was overjoyed. He led the admissions teachers to Wang's Stir-fry, just a few steps from the Luo family home.
The owner of Wang's Stir-fry was none other than Wang Ergou, who had a small grudge against the Luo family. When he saw several people in suits walking over from the Luo family home, he hurriedly welcomed them inside.
"Did the place next door not suit your tastes? Don't worry, our dishes can be adjusted to your preferences. Spicy or sweet, anything you want," Wang Ergou said as he poured tea.
The admissions teachers had seen all sorts of things. Hearing Wang Ergou say that, they exchanged glances.
This place and the Luo family's restaurant were both small eateries. It seemed this owner definitely had some kind of grudge against the Luo family.
"Not really. We just didn't want to trouble them," Teacher Ouyang said truthfully, but Wang Ergou took it the wrong way.
"Oh my, you're such kind guests, even speaking up for them."
"Boss, you misunderstood. We all came because of the Luo family's son. Now that the matter is settled, it wouldn't be appropriate to trouble them to keep us for a meal."
So many people had come for the Luo family's son?
What could it be about?
Wang Ergou hurriedly asked what had happened. When he learned that these teachers had come to invite Luo Yao to attend university, he felt terrible.
"Why can he go to university? Isn't he only in high school?"
"Isn't this against the rules?" Wang Ergou had no idea what independent admissions meant. He only knew that anyone who wanted to attend university had to take the college entrance examination.
Getting into university without taking the college entrance examination had to mean someone had pulled strings!
"Hey, what are you talking about? What do you mean, against the rules?" The Jiang University admissions teacher had already been somewhat upset over failing to complete his task today. Now, hearing a small restaurant owner accuse them of breaking the rules, he immediately got angry.
"I... I heard that you have to take the college entrance examination to attend university!" Wang Ergou's momentum instantly weakened when the other man suddenly raised his voice.
"Boss, it's not your fault for not knowing. This kind of thing probably has never happened in a small town like this, right?"
"This is independent admissions. Universities can select exceptional students in advance and admit them to study at their schools."
"Of course, not just anyone can be selected. They need to have won awards in National Competitions."
Wang Ergou had never heard of such a thing. Stunned, he said, "Did that Luo kid win an award in a National Competition?"
"Yes, and more than one. Otherwise, why would we have come all the way from the capital, Zhe City, Jiang City, and other places?"
When Wang Ergou heard Teacher Ouyang say they had come from so far away, he found it even more unbelievable.
"You came from so far away for one kid? Why?" Wang Ergou asked skeptically.
"Because he's a rare genius. Brother, you know very well what the educational standards in your town are like, don't you?"
"Yet under those conditions, Luo Yao defeated a whole group of top students raised on money and won first prize in the National Competition. And he did it in mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Think about it—how could the country allow someone like that to waste his life in this small town?"
Wang Ergou's expression darkened. He had originally thought Luo Yao was only a little smarter than his son, but now someone was telling him that Luo Yao had surpassed students across the country and won first prize in the National Competition!
"Then... he's going to study in a big city?" Wang Ergou stared at Teacher Ouyang in disbelief, seeking confirmation once more.
"That's right. Luo Yao will receive the best education in a big city from now on."
Hearing that, Wang Ergou became anxious. He grabbed Teacher Ouyang's sleeve and asked, "Teacher, my kid is taking the college entrance examination soon too. Could you take him along as well?"
Teacher Ouyang glanced at Teacher Xu, who was snickering nearby, then said to Wang Ergou, "Brother, that gentleman is an admissions teacher from Yan University. Why don't you ask him?"
The moment Wang Ergou heard that an admissions teacher from Yan University was here too, he immediately abandoned Teacher Ouyang and went to grab Teacher Xu instead.
Cursing Ouyang inwardly, Teacher Xu patiently told Wang Ergou, "Brother, our independent admissions only accept students who have won first prize in the National Competition. Has your child won any awards?"
"Uh, do competitions organized by the school count?"
"No."
Teacher Xu found Wang Ergou's disappointed look rather pitiful and offered a few words of comfort. "Brother, every child walks a different path. You don't need to force it. What your son is good at may not be something others are good at, right? What your son has, others may not have either. So there's no need to compare."
Teacher Xu had not expected his words to open up a new line of thought for Wang Ergou.
"That's right! Our family business is better than the Luo family's, and we have more money too! Even if my son can't get into university, we can still take care of him for the rest of his life!"
"Unlike the Luo family—they're poor as hell! They even borrowed the money to open their restaurant!" Wang Ergou was a crude man, and he quickly regained his confidence.
In his eyes, other than Luo Yao, there was nothing remarkable about the Luo family!
The admissions teachers exchanged looks, realizing there was no point continuing this conversation. They did not even eat. They got up and left Wang's Stir-fry, leaving Wang Ergou behind to curse and grumble by himself.
After walking out of the restaurant, Teacher Xu pulled Teacher Ouyang aside.
"The Luo family needs to move sooner rather than later. If they can leave today, they should leave today. Otherwise, who knows what might happen."
Teacher Ouyang smiled bitterly. "You saw it too?"
"Obviously. Jealousy can twist a person. And Luo Yao is the Luo family's hope. How easy would it be to ruin this kid?"
"With the way Luo Yao talks, he's probably offended plenty of people already. The news that he was admitted to university early will spread quickly."
"In a small town, even the tiniest thing gets magnified. Let alone something this big. People who don't understand may think, like that boss just now, that Luo Yao got into university through connections. How is the Luo family supposed to deal with those rumors?"
"So no matter what, the sooner they leave, the better."
After hearing Teacher Xu's analysis, Teacher Ouyang nodded in agreement. "That's what I was thinking too. If everyone isn't busy today, could you help me out?"
"Help the Luo family move!"
The admissions teachers walked over, smiling. "You owe us another meal now!"
"Next time, I'm eating at the most expensive restaurant in your city!"
"We haven't eaten yet today. Shouldn't you settle that first? Moving is hard work!"
Seeing that everyone was willing to help, Teacher Ouyang felt deeply grateful.
The group wandered over to a snack stall eight hundred meters away. After wolfing down some snacks, they split up and got to work.
Some went to rent a vehicle, some went to buy plane tickets, and others returned to Luo Yao's home to persuade the family.
"What? We have to leave today? Why the rush?" Sun Xiulan had been slowly packing inside when she heard Teacher Ouyang say that they had to leave with them today. She was startled.
"That's the school's arrangement. Mainly because they want Luo Yao to report to school as soon as possible." Teacher Ouyang told a well-intentioned lie.
"I see. All right, I'll pack right away. Luckily, we don't have much stuff." Sun Xiulan quickly directed Luo Xingguo to pack up the living room.
After Sun Xiulan left, Luo Yao, who had been listening quietly the entire time, suddenly walked up to Teacher Ouyang and said, "Is the reason you want us to move immediately because of the Wang Family?"
Teacher Ouyang's heart skipped a beat. This kid really is a monster. How can nothing be hidden from him?
"You didn't mention this when we signed the agreement. But after you went out to eat, you suddenly made this decision. So something must have happened while you were eating."
"But this is fine too. We were never part of the same circle. We were bound to leave sooner or later." After saying that, Luo Yao walked away, leaving Teacher Ouyang standing there in a daze.
So that was why the kid had not wanted to deal with Wang Ergou!
He knew he would definitely leave this small town, so he did not think the Wang Family mattered!
Teacher Ouyang had heard that people with high IQs could often consider problems more comprehensively when weighing pros and cons, deeply analyzing every possible outcome and impact before making decisions that benefited themselves most.
Teacher Ouyang now felt that he had truly seen a living example.
Emotional intelligence too low? That was actually the result of a high-IQ person's decision!
