Meeting With Stanford University's Executives(II), Mission Completed

"Mr Silas," President Odetta gestured to him, as he took his seat.

"President Odetta," He replied.

"Well, since he's here, let's get this meeting started," President Odetta said, and passed one of the documents to Silas.

"Yes. Mr Silas, President Odetta here, told us that you want to get an admission into the institution, a backdoor admission if I must say and in return, you will be making a monthly donation of a total of $11 million. Is that true?," Jonathan asked.

"Yes," Silas replied and nodded.

"Ok. Then I'm sure that you know the implications of what you're asking?," Jonathan asked, as he looked at Silas intently.

"Yes, I very well understand the implications of what I'm asking," Silas replied.

"Let me make this clear on behalf of everyone here. What we can only do for you is to consider giving you the admission and if you do get it, you will have to actually study and take your exams. We won't give you an automatic pass," Jonathan said with a very solemn tone, emphasizing on the stance of the institution.

"Yes, I understand," Silas replied and nodded. He was never interested in something like that and he isn't going to ask for it either.

If it wasn't for the system mission, he would have waited until the beginning of next semester when Stanford University starts giving admission, and take the entrance exams.

Jonathan smiled when he heard Silas' response. With that cleared out, they knew that they wouldn't be facing any possible issues related to Silas asking for unmerited credits.

"Good," Jonathan said, and turned to look at the remaining people in the conference room, and asked, "If any of you wants to add anything, please do."

"Yes, there's something I would like to add. The monthly donation, if he defaults on it, it's an automatic expulsion," One of the men seated said.

Jonathan looked at others and saw their nods of approval to what the man said.

"Mr Silas, …..are you okay with this?," Jonathan asked.

"Yes, I'm fine with it." Silas wasn't worried by this.

Defaulting on the donation? Impossible. Unless what he's feeling is correct, which even if it is, it's not something bad for him.

"Ok. Is there anything else you would like to add, Mr Silas?," Jonathan asked.

"Yes. In addition to what has been said, I would like to add some things. First, I want to be able to choose as many courses as I want. Second, I don't want to be tied to attendance and regular tests, only the major exams," Silas said.

The conference room was silent for a few seconds before Lawson broke the silence with a light cough.

"Mr Silas, what you're asking for… Okay, here's the thing, there are professors that mark students based on attendance."

"I understand. You can just tell me the subjects these professors teach and I won't add them to the list of subjects I would be choosing," Silas said.

"It seems like we have all come to an agreement then. Mr Silas, please go through the documents that were given to you and understand everything in it, and when you're done, sign it," President Odetta said.

"Ok," Silas said, and started going through the documents.

It took him a few minutes before he was done and he took a pen in front of him and scribbled his signature on it.

"Good, and that is us meeting our own part of the deal. We will be expecting you to meet your own part, Mr Silas," President Odetta said.

"Yes. Right away," Silas said and brought out his phone from his pocket to transfer the money.

Before transferring the money, he decided to check how much he currently has in his account. The last time he checked his account balance was the first time he exchanged some money for system points, and he just took a cursory glance at it.

Opening his bank app, he clicked on the eye icon beside his name and his account balance was displayed.

More than $18 million!

Silas took a subtle deep breath when he saw this.

"President Odetta, the details?," He asked.

"Right above where you penned your signature."

Silas opened the document and copied the bank details that were written on it, and made the transfer.

Few seconds later after he made the transfer, he saw President Odetta nod at him indicating that the money had been received.

Immediately afterwards, everyone in the conference room stood up and left, with President Odetta and Silas still seated.

"Mr Silas, your admission papers will be processed and sent to you later. Be expecting it before midnight," President Odetta said, and Silas nodded absentmindedly, before he stood up and left the conference room.

Silas' mind was preoccupied with something else: the system notification that popped up when he transferred the money.

[Ding!]

[You spent $1,000,000. You received a 10x rebate of expenses made. You earned $10,000,000. The money has been sent to your bank account]

Yes, only one of them received a rebate. He transferred the money separately because of the feeling he had and here it is, his feeling was correct.

'Only the money meant for the research fund received a rebate. Now, the question is why?,' Silas asked himself.

After thinking about it for some minutes and not getting any answer, he decided to forget about it.

"That's a relief," He said with a sigh.

"Now thinking about it, I spent a total of $11 million and got $10 million back, which should have been a total of $110 million."

Silas got outside the building and got into his car. He wasn't ready to go home yet, as he still has something to do.

He promised Evelyn to take her to lunch whenever he comes to Stanford University, to take her for helping him get President Odetta's contact.

....

Later that night.

Silas lay on his bed after taking a night shower.

It's almost midnight and he's already getting anxious as he's yet to receive the message from President Odetta.

Fortunately, his phone chimed, indicating that he has received a message.

Immediately after his phone chimed, he saw a system notification pop up.

[Ding!]
