PS: This is the fifth update, hehe, I'm a soft-eared person. When you say less, I strive to add more updates. I'm a man who can't refuse, but that's not good. I need to learn how to refuse and act pitiful! Hehe! I bow to thank the book friends who recommended and collected my book, and those who gave rewards! Finally, I ask for more recommendations and collections!
The next morning, Park Jiho got up very early from the coffee shop and meticulously cleaned the place from inside to out, making all the waitresses who came to work extremely happy because they could rest.
Lin Chenxi had made an appointment with Park Jiho, insisting that he must come back to have a meal with her after finishing his school registration. Only after Park Jiho agreed did Lin Chenxi let him go.
With his only backpack on his back, Park Jiho was ready to report to Seoul University!
.................................
At 9 a.m., a man with a scruffy beard, holding a large bread, dressed in the style of a young man from six or seven years ago, stood in the security room of Seoul University.
"Hey... Uncle, I am a real student of Seoul University. I'm here to report today. If you don't let me in, can you afford to compensate me if I'm late?" Park Jiho was speechless, being stopped by an older security guard who wouldn't let him enter Seoul University!
"What...? You call me Uncle?" The older security guard was unhappy when Park Jiho called him Uncle: "Kid, I'm not married yet, and I'm only 40 years old. You look like you're 36 or 37. How dare you call me Uncle? Do you know how to write the word 'ugly'?"
"Uh...!" Park Jiho was speechless. Could he really look so old? Didn't they say that a scruffy beard gives a sense of decadence, and girls like it? Could that guy have been lying to him? Just as he thought this, the security guard spoke again: "Hey... Kid, you're not young, but your brain is. Do you know it's summer vacation now? You say you're here to report. Do you think my brain is as bad as yours?"
Park Jiho had no temper to argue because the other person was completely right. Even more speechless, a group of young girls outside the security room were pointing and laughing at him.
With no choice, Park Jiho had to take out his phone and call. Honestly, Park Jiho didn't want to be so high-profile, but he was forced to.
Seeing Park Jiho take out his phone, the security guard chuckled: "Alright, kid, stop acting. Pretending to call someone? This trick has been used too many times. Don't waste my time. Get out while I'm in a good mood." The girls outside laughed even louder.
"Hmph...!" Looking outside, Park Jiho coldly snorted, feeling humiliated by a group of people. He was completely speechless. Soon, the call was connected, and a gentle voice on the other end said: "I am Lee Ki-won. May I ask who you are?"
The polite question, combined with the person's identity, made it even more precious!
"Teacher Lee, hello. I am Park Jiho. I'm here to report to you today, but the security guard at your school won't let me in, saying it's already summer vacation!" Park Jiho slowly said.
After hearing Park Jiho's words, Lee Ki-won immediately said: "Alright, don't worry. Stay in the security room, and I'll come to pick you up right away." Then he hung up the phone.
Park Jiho then found a seat in the security room. The security guard, seeing that Park Jiho not only didn't leave but also sat down, walked over to him, a bit unhappy: "Hey... Kid, what are you doing? Trying to be a troublemaker? I don't want to make things bigger by calling the police because you're not young. Are you asking for more?"
Hearing the security guard's words, Park Jiho said, quite speechless: "Hey... Sir, I'm really waiting for someone. My teacher said he would come to pick me up soon."
"You have a teacher? Kid, look at your age. Stop dreaming, wake up!" the security guard shouted.
Just as Park Jiho was angry and wanted to argue, suddenly, Lee Ki-won walked into the security room from among the students. Seeing Park Jiho, he immediately walked over, a bit excited, and patted Park Jiho: "Is it Park Jiho?"
Turning around, Park Jiho saw Lee Ki-won. Having seen Lee Ki-won's photo before, he immediately recognized him. He immediately bowed 90 degrees and used a disciple's salute: "Teacher Lee!"
"Good... Good!" Lee Ki-won nodded in satisfaction at Park Jiho's use of the disciple's salute!
This situation immediately caused a stir among the students outside, and the security guard was also shocked. Because Lee Ki-won had implicitly accepted Park Jiho's disciple's salute, it meant he recognized Park Jiho as his student. The principal of Seoul University had only two recognized students in his life, and both had a certain status in Korea. With these two words, it was already certain that the man in the security room was definitely a student of Seoul University. Moreover, he was the principal's third student, which immediately caused a buzz outside! However, the students of Seoul University could never have imagined that Park Jiho was not actually the principal's student. The use of the disciple's salute was a story.
"OMO, he's really our alumnus! He looks so old, though."
"Hehe... This uncle is not only old, but his clothes are from six years ago, quite outdated."
"Heaven, I never thought Seoul University would admit such a peculiar person."
"But, even so, I think he must have something special to become the principal's student."
"Right... I agree. After all, it's very difficult to become the principal's student. Many seniors say that those who can become the principal's students can easily make money."
"Why? Senior!"
"You don't know? Because the principal's nickname is the 'Korean Soros' (stock investor). However, he doesn't do it anymore. But in his younger days, the principal was said to be incredibly generous and free-spirited!"
"Wow... So will this alumnus uncle also...?"
"Hehe...!"
.................................
When Park Jiho was taken away by Lee Ki-won, he patted the security guard's shoulder and said: "Uncle... First, I am really a student of Seoul University. Second, I'm not that old!" Then, amidst the envious gazes of the Seoul University students, he followed Lee Ki-won into Seoul University. The security guard behind him also patted his chest, swearing he would never judge people by their appearance again. Fortunately, the principal's student didn't get angry, or it would have been a big problem. However, even in the end, the security guard still had to comment on Park Jiho's age! He really looked old!
