After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 1164

Chapter 1164: A Rough Start
No matter how reluctant Zhouzhou was, she had already signed the contract.

B University’s principal was beside himself, pounding his chest and sighing repeatedly.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Qin Feng. Suddenly, an idea struck him—there was still hope!

Although Qin Feng wasn’t the top student, he was the second-best, and his grades weren’t far behind Zhouzhou’s.

His eyes lit up. That’s right, he still had a chance with Qin Feng!

With that thought, he hurried over to Qin Feng, a hopeful look on his face, and asked eagerly, “Qin Feng, would you be interested in coming to our school?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the other principals turned their attention to Qin Feng.

Yes, Qin Feng was quite remarkable, but they had been so focused on Zhouzhou that they had overlooked this strong candidate.

If Zhouzhou hadn’t been around, according to past scores, Qin Feng would have easily been the top scorer.

If they couldn’t secure Zhouzhou, getting Qin Feng would be just as good.

The hope in their eyes was clear as they all turned toward Qin Feng.

“Qin Feng, come to C University.”

“Come to H University; I’ll offer you the same treatment as Zhouzhou.”

“You think no one can match that? Come to Financial University. I’ll double whatever they’re offering.”

“I’ll double it too!”

“…”

Seeing that the bidding had started again, Qin Feng couldn’t help but laugh. He quickly raised his hand and said, “Thank you all, but I’ve already made up my mind about which school I want to attend.”

Hearing this, the room fell silent. Someone asked, “Where do you want to go?”

Qin Feng replied, “I want to study medicine, so I’m planning to go to Y University.”

Y University had the best medical program.

The room fell quiet again as everyone looked at him, their expressions mixed with understanding and admiration. No one pressed him further.

B University’s principal turned to Grandpa Qin and couldn’t help but say, “Old Mr. Qin, your kids are all so accomplished.”

By now, the Qin family’s children had all gotten into top-tier universities, each excelling in their own fields.

Which parent wouldn’t envy the Qin family?

The principal also had kids of his own, but none of them were quite as outstanding. He couldn’t help but feel a little sour as he asked, “How do you raise your kids?”

The others also looked over, eager to learn from his experience.

Grandpa Qin cleared his throat lightly and said, “Well, to be honest, I raised my kids with a hands-off approach.”

For a moment, the room was utterly silent. After about three seconds, the others exchanged glances, some rolling their eyes in disbelief.

It wasn’t that they didn’t trust him—after all, he was a man who never lied or boasted.

That was exactly why they were envious.

It wasn’t fair! How was it that all the Qin children were so amazing, while their own kids seemed to bring trouble instead of gratitude?

It felt like life was just unfair.

Qin Bei looked at them, rubbing his hands together with a hopeful expression. He asked, “Teachers, if Zhouzhou and little Feng aren’t available, then what about me? I’m also taking the National College Entrance Examination this year, just like Qin Nan!”

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention to him.

Qin Nan was covering his face with one hand, while with the other, he calmly shoved Qin Bei aside, not wanting to be near him. This way, he wouldn’t embarrass himself.

The principals, noticing the Qin family’s potential, started asking, “How did you score?”

Qin Bei proudly declared, “493!”

In the entertainment industry, that would put him in the middle tier!

Qin Nan spoke with a calm tone, “I scored 612.”

It wasn’t a top score, but still very good.

Before anyone else could comment, Qin Nan quickly added, “I’ve already chosen a school. I’m planning to go to the Drama Academy to study directing.”

That had been his dream ever since he was a child.

It was a coincidence that no drama-related schools had come today—maybe they thought Zhouzhou wouldn’t be attending, so they didn’t bother.

But even if they had, it wouldn’t have made much of a difference. Once Qin Nan set his mind on something, he wasn’t easily swayed.

Everyone sighed in regret. It seemed that, apart from A University, everyone else had made a wasted trip.

They couldn’t help but feel a little frustrated.

Qin Bei, on the other hand, was feeling frustrated as well.

What did that mean? Why wasn’t anyone asking about him?

He stepped forward to speak, but Qin Nan grabbed him by the arm and covered his mouth, scolding, “Shut up! No one will want you with that score!”

Until he had plastic surgery, Qin Nan didn’t want to see his face!

Qin Bei felt wronged. Even though Qin Nan was covering his mouth, he still managed to speak with a defiant neck, “Can’t you buy one, get one free? I didn’t mind being the extra one!”

Qin Nan sneered, “Nice try. No one will even take you for free. Just go act your little drama.”

That was the only thing he was good at.

Considering his score, he might do well in the art exams.

But why was he still messing around with this? He was just embarrassing himself.

Qin Nan’s expression darkened, making it clear he would never let Qin Bei act up again.

Seeing Qin Bei’s face fall, Zhouzhou laughed and patted his shoulder. She comforted him, “Don’t worry, Sixth Brother. Everyone has their strengths. You’re great at acting too!”

Hearing this, Qin Bei’s spirits lifted, and he eagerly nodded, “That’s right! I’ll be awesome! I’ll be famous, just like you said!”

“Mm-hmm,” Zhouzhou nodded with a small smile, secretly thinking to herself that she wasn’t sure if Qin Bei could handle fame.

No, wait, it wasn’t him she was worried about. It would be his future co-stars.

Because every time someone had issues with Qin Bei, they’d be exposed.

At best, they’d be blacklisted, losing their careers. At worst, they could end up in jail.

Thinking about this, Zhouzhou couldn’t help but lick her lips. She’d never been to jail, and she wondered what it would be like to eat prison food.

Slurp.

After finalizing the college plans, Zhouzhou returned to her work with the Special Action Office.

As her goals were finally coming together, her eyes sparkled with excitement, and she didn’t feel tired no matter how much she worked.

Ye Lingfeng had even arranged an office for her at the police station, in the Criminal Investigation Unit where Qin Xi and the team worked.

They had set up a dedicated space for Zhouzhou and the others from the Special Action Office.

With the office and personnel almost ready, Zhouzhou rubbed her bald head with glee, thinking about how everything would soon be in place.

She couldn’t help but smile, her excitement growing.

But just then, loud voices from outside interrupted her thoughts.

“I can’t do this job anymore!”

“The Special Action Office is unnecessary—just disband it!”
