This unexpected warmth caused a few to look sideways, especially Meng Shengzong, who stood next to the principal and was particularly astonished.
Having worked with the principal for many years, he considered himself to truly understand the principal's nature, who had never before been so enthusiastic about a student they had just met.
If it were because of the student's excellent grades, then weren't all the students who got into Beijing University during the same period considered rare talents? There were others with stellar grades like Lin Wu, but he had never seen the principal behaving like this with them, let alone personally receiving them.
If it were because of the student's family background, then shouldn't the principal's enthusiasm be directed toward Elder Xun? Showing such enthusiasm for a student, could he have mistaken the focus of his attention?
Meng Shengzong thought this way and scrutinized Lin Wu in secret.
