I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property
Chapter 759 - 757 Not Just Any School Will Do

After visiting the entire school, the principals of the neighboring schools were not just mentally shattered, they had their entire worldviews utterly pulverized. Today, they saw a lifetime's worth of unbelievable sights.

By the time they returned to the school's reception room, they had no energy left to even speak.

"Old fellows, what's wrong with you?" Principal Chen of Jiangnan University of Science and Technology looked at them.

When they had come to argue with him earlier, each was spirited and fighting fit, but now their gazes were vacant, their expressions idiotic, as if they had all suffered facial paralysis.

"Principal, it's nothing," Zhang Menglong interjected quickly, "I was just showing everyone around the school. It might be because our students are relatively exceptional."

One of the principals looked up at Zhang Menglong and thought, exceptional? These are not just exceptional, they're freaking monsters, monsters across the whole school!

While scholars around the world were still pondering how to make hydrogen-powered rockets burn more efficiently and fly faster, first-year students at Jiangnan University of Science and Technology were already studying the Anti-gravity Engine.

While top physicists were patting themselves on the back for discovering gravitational waves, students at Jiangnan University of Science and Technology had already briefly created black holes!

While those much-hyped fund managers in the stock market were trying every trick in the book to perform better, students from Jiangnan University's School of Economics and Management Studies turned a simple class assignment into a fat profit.

The most outrageous part was that the breakthroughs that could have easily won them top-level research awards, they didn't even bother to publish. Instead, they madly competed with each other in the school's newspaper.

And those top scholars from abroad? They were not only fighting to stay at the school, but also bunking like hobos, all for the slim hope of occasionally receiving a few pointers from the students.

Even Nobel Prize winners were at the beck and call of first-year students from Jiangnan University of Science and Technology, running errands and handing over wrenches and tea.

What kind of concept is this? It's possible that while walking around Jiangnan University of Science and Technology, the student in the bathroom next to you might just have been appointed as an honorary professor by some illustrious university with a heavy salary!

They had just used the restroom, and the janitor cleaning it was muttering while mopping the floor. Only when they entered did they hear clearly that she was calculating the trajectory deviations of electromagnetic railguns due to wind speed!

Zhang Menglong's explanation was simple: the atmosphere of scientific research at Jiangnan University was so intense that even the ordinary staff underwent transformations through subtle influences. He didn't want to be so high-profile either, but they just couldn't help their own strength!

Those professors from reputed global universities? Their level of knowledge might not even be on par with the janitors of Jiangnan University of Science and Technology!

No! They might not even compare to a dog!

Because within an hour, they actually saw a yellow dog crouching in a corner, and for some reason, the undiverted attention in its eyes made them wonder if it somehow understood!

Whether or not the dog understood, they certainly did not.

They had to admit that Jiangnan University of Science and Technology was not only first in the world in terms of scientific research capabilities but also in the quality of its students, teaching abilities, and even the scientific literacy of its dogs!

Their previous suspicions were conclusively disproven.

To find a student more outstanding than the best at their own schools, there was no need to look for a formal student from Jiangnan University of Science and Technology; perhaps any random elderly janitor could solve issues they couldn't even comprehend or manage!

This school truly reached a level that left them in awe.

"By the way, what were you all here for today?" Zhang Menglong suddenly asked with a hint of sarcasm, "Oh that's right, if there's nothing else, let's go eat before you leave. Our school recently hired a batch of top-tier chefs, guaranteed to be a meal you'll never forget!"

"Oh, I remember now!" Han Jinyu, who had long been accustomed to playing the flunky to Zhang Menglong, knew exactly what Zhang was hinting at with every little cue.

"I remember you're here because of the school merger, right?" Han Jinyu laughed, "We just mentioned it in passing, who knew the higher-ups would take it seriously? Our school definitely needs to expand, but there are many other methods and pathways for expansion; you don't necessarily have to merge with us or relocate."

"Exactly!" Zhang Menglong chimed in eagerly, "In fact, there are many vocational schools and specialized universities to the south of our school. I think we might be able to negotiate with them!"

"Vocational schools? Specialized universities?"

Upon hearing this news, several principals immediately felt overwhelmed.

The reason why students at Jiangnan University of Science and Technology are so exceptional now is definitely not because those students are extraordinarily capable on their own. Jiangnan University of Science and Technology has only risen in the past year; could it be that all the most excellent and talented students in the world are flocking there?

If you say that the freshmen are amazing, that could still somehow be explained, but if their staff and dogs are amazing as well, they couldn't even explain that with quantum mechanics!

This means that Jiangnan University of Science and Technology now possesses a huge and unimaginable knowledge system, as well as a teaching method that has yet to be disclosed. It enables students to absorb knowledge at a terrifying speed!

If Jiangnan University of Science and Technology really merges with those vocational schools and junior colleges, perhaps in no time, those students they had somewhat looked down upon would transform into top students like those at Jiangnan University of Science and Technology?

Although merging into Jiangnan University of Science and Technology means the schools' own recruiting would end, those schools weren't well-known to begin with, who would care about that? To them, this is definitely all good news!

Not to say it would be 100%—because exceptional people can emerge from anywhere—but stating that education is useless generally comes from those who already have mediocre education. Education can at least represent the future direction for most people.

The future of those students might see a massive reversal!

To make a joke, in the future, graduates from those first-tier universities might not measure up to a group of students graduating from vocational and specialized schools. That would be an utter disgrace!

It might even be more embarrassing than the merger itself!

Realizing this, they became anxious on the spot.

"Er, Academician Zhang, you might have misunderstood our intentions for today, we're not here to interrogate you!"

"Exactly, we've come with a very friendly attitude today to negotiate this matter with Principal Chen!"

Principal Chen looked at their fawning expressions, and the frustration of being cornered in his office that morning evaporated in an instant, "Negotiate? You call this negotiating?"

Principal Chen pointed to the partially smashed door of the principal's office.

"Hahaha, we were just joking with you! Look at how quiet this place is; we made it lively for you!"

"Yes, yes, this was just an accident. We'll find someone to replace your door this afternoon; you choose whatever kind of door you want, our school will pay for it!"

"Hmph! I won't quibble with you," Principal Chen snorted, "So what exactly are you here for today?"

"Hehe, we're just here to ask when the merger of our schools is going to start!"

"Right, right, right. We will fully cooperate with the school's merger process. We have no other requests, just to keep a separate name for our school, like 'Jiangnan University of Science and Technology - Jiangnan Electronic Science and Technology University Branch' or something like that."

Zhang Menglong casually crossed his legs, "Well, actually, not just any school that wants to merge with ours can do so; we have to conduct an inspection first!"
