A fluffy little head peeked out of Zhang Chen's backpack, curiously observing the world around.
It was a kitten!
"What was Zhang Chen thinking? He wants to bring a cat to school?"
"Haha, is he here to study, or to raise a pet?"
"Not only will the bus not allow it, but even if it did, airplanes wouldn't let pets on. And even if planes did, universities don't allow pets. Zhang Chen is asking for trouble!"
"Hey, hurry up! Don't hold everyone up because of you. Our time is precious!"
"Yeah, what if the plane is delayed because of this? Will you take responsibility?"
Many students on the bus were filled with jealousy towards Zhang Chen.
Although on the surface, it seemed like Zhang Chen was a sycophant for getting into Phoenix Academy.
But what man hasn't dreamed of attending a women's college?
This seemingly unattainable dream was realized by Zhang Chen, how could that not make people feel envious, jealous, and hateful?!
So now, seeing Zhang Chen in a bind, they all joined in the taunting.
"Please, driver, let me get on. As for the airplane and school, I'll figure it out. Please, just accommodate me!"
Zhang Chen pleaded.
"I can't make this decision. I need to call my superior!"
The driver said, dialing his phone.
The call connected to the bus's Bluetooth, and the conversation played directly through the speakers.
"Hello, this is the National Key Universities Joint Admissions Office!"
A cold, indifferent voice came from the phone.
After all, the prestige of this institution was no less than that of the Spiritual Power Association.
"Um... I'm the driver of the seventh group's bus, Xiao Wang. I have a situation here that I need to apply for approval for!"
"A student wants to bring a pet on board. Because he's a student from a key university, I'm not sure, so I'm asking if this is permissible."
The driver's tone was extremely humble, not only using polite language but also softening his voice.
"Do you need to ask me about something like this? What do the driver's regulations stipulate?" the other party responded coldly.
"The driver's regulations stipulate that pets are not allowed on board. But he's a student from a key university, a future pillar of the nation."
"If I don't let him on, and it delays his enrollment, affecting the nation's cultivation of its pillars, I can't bear that responsibility!"
The driver explained obsequiously.
"The nation cultivates countless pillars every year. What's the use of cultivating a pillar that can't even follow the rules?"
"Just follow the regulations. If he wants a pet, let him live with his pet forever!"
The other party's words were irrefutable.
Many students on the scene who were jealous of Zhang Chen were secretly delighted, waiting to see how Zhang Chen would handle this difficult choice.
Would he give up his pet, or give up his university?
"Alright, then I know what to do!"
The driver said, preparing to hang up.
Suddenly, the other party seemed to remember something and asked:
"By the way, you're the driver for group seven, right? Is there a student named Zhang Chen on your list? Has he gotten on the bus?"
"Zhang Chen?"
The driver was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhang Chen's name tag.
"He hasn't gotten on yet. Zhang Chen is the student with the pet..."
The driver replied.
"What? Zhang Chen hasn't gotten on the bus yet? Why didn't you let him on? What were you thinking?"
Upon hearing this, the other party immediately roared in a furious rage.
"But you said pets aren't allowed on the bus..."
The driver said aggrievedly.
"Is your brain made of stone? Can't you be flexible when faced with a situation?"
"Rules are rigid, but people are flexible. Zhang Chen is a high-level talent that we need to cultivate!"
"If he can't enroll because of you, and it affects the nation's cultivation of its pillars, can you bear that responsibility?"
"Let alone you, even the entire bus class can't afford that, do you understand?!"
The other party roared again.
Hearing these words, all the students on the bus were dumbfounded.
This was too much of double standard!
Just now they said no, but as soon as they heard it was Zhang Chen, it was okay?!
Was there any justice in this world?!
"Understood... Understood!"
The driver nodded repeatedly.
Just as Zhang Chen was about to get on the bus.
Suddenly, a white, extended luxury business car stopped in front of the bus.
A tall, imposing bodyguard opened the car door.
Then, a pair of legs, as white as snow, stepped out, followed by a collective gasp of admiration.
A woman like an immortal appeared before them, it was Zhao Xiyue!
Zhao Xiyue smiled at Zhang Chen and said:
"May I have the honor of giving you a ride, classmate Zhang Chen?!"
