Qin Fen felt that it was a humiliation to have failed to recruit Xuanyuan Po as his student and thus wouldn't speak of it to others. However, the two ugly intern teachers didn't have the same concerns. The process by which Sun Mo had convinced Xuanyuan Po made them speechless. It was like a toad having gotten to eat swan meat [1], and it was far too surprising. Therefore, after they returned to the dorm, they couldn't wait to share this matter with their dorm mates, and then the news spread wider and wider.

On the second day of the student recruitment meet, the school continued to be swarming with people.

Seated in the canteen, Zhang Sheng stirred the watery porridge in front of him, wearing a dim expression. His legs had almost broken from all the running around yesterday, and he had spoken so much that his voice was hoarse now. However, he hadn't even managed to recruit a single student.

"Don't be feeling down. This is how difficult it is for an intern teacher to recruit a student. I've been rejected over 20 times yesterday."

Yuan Feng bites on his bun, only able to vent his frustrations on food.

Zhang Sheng couldn't be bothered to care about Yuan Feng. However, at the thought of how he had been rejected over 30 times as well, his countenance turned grim.

"They are all fools, having no idea what they're missing out on."

Zhang Sheng felt that the students who had rejected him didn't know what was good for them.

Ludi ate his rice porridge. After finishing this, he would still have to rush back to braise pig trotters. He knew his worth and thus hadn't thought of recruiting students.

"As long as I can get Teacher Zhou to write good ratings about me, I will have the right to stay in school."

Ludi didn't have high expectations. He wanted to first stay in the school and then slowly climb up.

"Have you guys heard? Sun Mo managed to dupe Xuanyuan Po to be his student!"

"That can't be true, right? Xuanyuan Po didn't even care for Liu Mubai. How could he possibly accept Sun Mo?"

"Didn't Sun Mo go to the logistics department? Does he have the right to take in disciples?"

The intern teachers from the next table were talking amongst themselves as they ate.

Yuan Feng was curious and got closer to them. After hearing some of their talks, he was extremely astonished. "Are you guys joking? Where did you hear this from? Someone like Sun Mo can manage to recruit Xuanyuan Po?"

"Someone saw it with their own eyes. Moreover, Qin Fen and Gu Xiuxun were present at that time as well..."

Before this intern teacher could finish his words, he heard a loud bang that gave him a big fright. He turned and saw that it was Zhang Sheng who had slammed his chopsticks onto the table.

"Bullshit!" Zhang Sheng bellowed furiously. "How is that Sun Mo worthy?"

"That's right. If Gu Xiuxun and Qin Fen were present, then it'd be even more impossible for Xuanyuan Po to pick Sun Mo." Yuan Feng sat back and continued to eat his breakfast. "Don't spread false rumors. Sun Mo must have gotten people to disseminate the rumors in order to spread his name and make it easier for him to recruit students."

Hearing Yuan Feng said that the intern teachers started to feel dubious about the matter. After all, the chances of Sun Mo recruiting Xuanyuan Po were definitely zero.

"So that's how it is!"

Zhang Sheng, who was feeling angry, was struck by a realization. (I knew it. If it's something I can't do, it'd be impossible for Sun Mo to do it either!)
