Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 356: The Influence of Gu Feng

"Zhu Liwei, 16 years old, top-grade spiritual root, window number 98!"

The directors of the admissions offices from universities such as Qing University, Capital University, Fudan University, and Polytechnic received the message, their pupils dilating instantly, each of them hurriedly rushing towards window number 98 with quickened breaths.

People from other countries watched these refined-looking Dragon Nation individuals with glasses and were curious about their sudden frenzy.

"A top-grade spiritual root, out of 200,000 people in two hours this morning, less than half had spirit roots, and there were only about 100 of medium-grade – to think we finally found someone with a top-grade spiritual root!"

One employee excitedly ran after their leader, talking to other colleagues as they went.

What they didn’t know was that the foreigners were at least capable of understanding the basics of their language.

As a result, the senior members of foreign universities exchanged glances, envy evident in their eyes.

"Should... should we try to snatch him?"

At Harvard, a subordinate hesitantly asked one of the senior staff.

The high-level Harvard staff shot the subordinate a glare: "Snatch someone from Dragon Nation? Are you out of your mind!"

Today, Eagle could snatch talents from any country, but no nation dared to entice away Dragon Nation’s people.

Meanwhile, the senior staff from the four universities arrived at window number 98 and crowded around Zhu Liwei, who had just stepped out of the testing area.

"Hello, Zhu, I’m from Qing University, and we could make an exception to directly admit you as a special recruit, covering all your miscellaneous and living expenses every year."

Before the words were finished, the representative was squeezed aside by someone from Capital University: "Don’t listen to him, Zhu, whatever they can offer you, we at Capital University can provide as well. Moreover, we have a substantial budget in our resource pool for the Four Great Auxiliary Professions, ensuring students have support in the creation of weapons, elixirs, and treasures."

The director from Qing University became angry: "Zhu, our school’s teachers are Foundation Establishment Cultivators from Pangu! You must understand, in Dragon Nation, currently only 48 students of the great experts have reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, and any of these teachers might break through to the Core Formation Stage at any moment!"

Polytechnic University: "As if our schools didn’t have Foundation Establishment teachers too, our allocation is equally high."

That’s when the director from Shencheng City University of Technology made half a step forward: "Zhu, what they have, our school has as well, but what we have, they lack – with your talent and qualifications, cultivating in Shencheng City’s unique Spiritual Field, you’ll definitely get twice the result with half the effort. That’s a blessed land of the great experts!"

These words made Zhu Liwei pause in his steps.

Anyone who had studied the ’Blessed Land’ Chapter of great experts’ cultivation knew of Shencheng City’s Spiritual Field; in fact, it’s the private blessed land of high-level cultivators, a great opportunity for low-level cultivators!

Only those who truly understand and have entered the path of cultivation know the true value of Shencheng City’s Spiritual Field.

But as the saying goes, "A penny stumps a hero" – what some people never had, they might never obtain in their entire life.

The discussion might well be about the household registration and real estate in Shencheng City.

The real estate prices in Shencheng City are sky-high, with even ordinary apartments breaking 400,000 RMB per square meter.

Villas in the urban area are in such high demand that they are swiftly snapped up by the wealthy the moment they go on the market – they are truly priceless.

Therefore, even for a cultivation genius, as beneficial as living in Shencheng City might be for their cultivation, the sad truth is they likely couldn’t afford a house there.

Seeing Zhu hesitating, the director from Shencheng City University of Technology knew he had a chance: "May we have a word in private?"

After Zhu and his parents nodded, the parent gestured to speak with the director from Shencheng City University in a corner.

The crowded scene saw different people undertaking diverse mental journeys following the testing results.

Some families had their fortunes changed because of their children’s Spirit Root aptitudes. Anthony, a boy from the slums, after receiving his Medium-grade Spirit Root testing results, signaled the monitoring station to print out an electronic certificate for him.

His parents, excitedly, found the Massachusetts school representatives from the Eagle Nation at the site.

"Sir, do you accept students?" Anthony’s parents asked.

The Massachusetts administrative staff thought it was a regular foreign student application and nodded, "Yes, but our school has very high fees."

He glanced at Anthony’s parents’ shabby appearance and used the tuition fee to deter them.

As long as you have a Spirit Root and it is a high grade, they will treat you like a treasure. But if you are paying for your education, the school fees are equally high.

After all, schools need to recruit Cultivator teachers, which is expensive. The four great auxiliary materials and various materials for refining heaven and earth treasures have to be acquired and budgeted for. So, it’s impossible for these prominent academies to provide charity.

Anthony’s parents were left feeling a bit insecure by the management’s words.

They could only take out their mobile phones and show the child’s testing certificate to the staff, "Our child has a Medium-grade Spirit Root. Could he possibly be exempt from tuition fees?"

The administrative staff casually glanced over, and upon clearing seeing the official Dragon Nation seal on the certificate, his expression completely changed.

His face initially lit up with joy, but fearing that representatives from other schools might notice, he immediately feigned adjusting his glasses and whispered to the couple, "That will be possible, please come with me."

Medium-grade Spirit Root, out of 200,000 people this morning, only around a hundred Medium-grade Spirit Roots were found. He couldn’t believe he had stumbled upon one.

It seems he was now closer to meeting the KPI performance targets set by his superiors.

Officers from Anthony’s native country were wandering the site, and after a long search without finding Anthony, they were frantic.

When they found out that the boy with the Medium-grade Spirit Root had been taken away by the Massachusetts Eagle, the small country in South America expressed its displeasure.

They felt that the monitoring station had leaked the child’s information, leading to his poaching by the Eagle Nation and thus they appealed to the Dragon Nation’s higher-ups.

This made Master Hou personally intervene, summoning his brother Hou Jili to scold him, his anger uncontainable as he questioned, "I just want to know, did you disclose the information internationally?"

"No!" Hou Jili hurriedly said, "Brother, I swear, I only revealed the information to the academic institutions of the tester’s country. I couldn’t possibly do something so foolish. I have surveillance footage showing the child’s parents voluntarily approached the Massachusetts school with the electronic certificate."

Master Hou pointed at his brother and warned, "You must resolve this matter. You know other departments are eyeing this project, and you’re causing me trouble on the first day. I’m telling you, if you can do it, do it; if not, let the third one handle it."

Hou Jili solemnly replied, "Brother, don’t worry, I will handle it."

After speaking, he glanced nervously toward Master Hou, "Does Elder Gu know about this?"

"If he had inquired, you’d have already been taken away before I came looking for you," Master Hou glared at him, "Don’t cause me any more trouble. Our batch is likely to retire after one more term, and whether the next batch of departments will bear the Hou name depends on Elder Gu’s disposition. Do you understand what I’m saying?"

Hou Jili nodded resolutely.

Besides the original shareholders, no Hall Master position in the entire group is hereditary and secure.

But Gu Feng is currently in charge of the most powerful five departments, meaning he has the right to interfere with personnel matters!

So, at this critical juncture, any problem with your work can lead to allegations of incompetence from others, which is fatal!
