The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot novel Chapter 187

Chapter 187: 180 Norton University Interview Scene [1 update]

“…”

All sound ceased in an instant.

It looked no different from an ordinary greeting card; it could even be described as crude.

But the patterns outlined by the gold embossing revealed the extraordinariness of this black cardstock.

Ying Zijin’s gaze fixed.

She recognized this pattern.

It was present on the Tarot Major Arcana card numbered “1,” the Magician.

At the same time, it was indeed a pattern commonly used by Norton University.

And such ugly handwriting could indeed only belong to a certain alchemist lunatic.

After Fu Yunshen placed the card on the table, Wen Tinglan wasn’t the only one taken aback—the other students from the third-year elite class were also somewhat stunned.

An invitation from Norton University?

And from a SS-level college at that?

Although they were ignorant of the inner workings of Norton University, they all knew that the letters SS represented the highest level.

“An invitation from a SS-level college?” The boy paused for a moment, almost laughing, “Does Norton University even have a SS-level college? Don’t make stuff up.”

He Xun, however, pursed his lips and remained silent, his expression somewhat distant.

He had never received an invitation, after all, he attended a D-level college, barely scraping by.

But he had seen an invitation from an A-level college.

It wasn’t this shabby, nor did it contain merely a simple couple of lines, but the paper used seemed to be the same.

This type of paper, he had only seen it in his mentor’s office.

It was said to be very precious, impervious to fire and water.

He had also heard his mentor mention that every invitation from Norton University came with its own micro-positional system to prevent loss.

He Xun’s gaze moved downward, landing in the middle of the black gold-embossed card, and as expected, he saw a tiny raised grain.

His pupils suddenly constricted, and his facial muscles trembled slightly, somewhat in disbelief.

Seeing his expression, the boy and two students from the international class felt a surge of alarm.

Could it be, this was genuinely an invitation from Norton University’s SS-level college?

It couldn’t be.

Anyone who received an invitation from Norton University would have gone themselves, not given it away to someone else, right?

Moreover, everyone knew that even the national college entrance examination’s top scorer might not catch Norton University’s eye, so how could they possibly send an invitation to a dandy playboy from Shanghai City?

The boy opened his mouth: “Teacher He, that…”

“Time’s up.” He Xun’s lips turned into a straight line, suppressing the doubt at the bottom of his heart, “Let’s go.”

It was probably a fake.

In his four years at Norton University, he had never heard of a SS-level college issuing invitations.

Seeing that He Xun had not given a definite answer, the boy actually felt relieved and sneered, “If this really is an invitation from Norton University’s SS-level college, let’s meet there at Norton University then.”

Upon hearing this, Ying Zijin finally lifted her gaze, an eyebrow rising.

He Xun’s pupils constricted again.

Lip reading was a compulsory course at Norton University, and he understood the girl’s words.

— Let’s meet on the scene of Norton University’s interview.

He Xun immediately averted his gaze, no longer looking.

After the exclusive car arrived, the four got on.

The barbecue table remained quiet, with no one speaking.

The class president swallowed subconsciously, carefully touching the black card, “S-Seventh Young Master, is this really an invitation from Norton University?”

The handwriting was just too sloppy.

Fu Yunshen raised his eyelashes, languidly, “What do you think?”

“I think it’s real,” the class president declared, utterly convinced, “Even if I were blind, it would still be real.”

The study committee member shook their head and whispered to the sports committee member, “He’s drunk again.”

“Exactly!” The class president slapped Wen Tinglan on the shoulder, belching, “Why would our Tinglan need any interview qualifications? The invitation came right to him, souring them to death.”

“They’ll just have to leave after their interviews, only able to watch Tinglan study at Norton University.”

“…”

The sports committee member sighed, “He really is drunk.”

Wen Tinglan stayed silent.

He wasn’t concerned about whether the invitation was genuine or not.

Although he was interested in Norton University, it wasn’t his only choice.

Imperial Capital University’s ranking in recent years in the QS World University Rankings had also been climbing, breaking into the top ten.

Norton University was far away in Oceania, and if he went, there would be no one to take care of Wen Fengmian.

“Thank you.” Wen Tinglan pushed the invitation back, “I can’t accept this.”

“Hmm?” Fu Yunshen didn’t receive it, raising an eyebrow, “It’s meant for you, how can you not accept it?”

“It’s too precious,” Wen Tinglan hugged his bowl, “Dad and sister said I can’t accept valuable gifts from others.”

“It’s not that precious.” Fu Yunshen smiled, “It’s just a piece of paper.”

He was nonchalant, as if regretting something, “For you, I even turned down a big deal.”

The Diviner’s prophecy was important, but it could never outweigh the people around him.

Hearing this, Ying Zijin’s expression paused momentarily, her eyes flickering.

She had posted a thread a few days ago that was seen by nine out of ten users on the NOK forum.
