"You don't have the same drive that I have," President Mu said in a proud tone. "Time has proven again that I was right. That money was well spent."
President Shi thought to himself, you think that I don't regret it?
I do regret it. I wish I'd offered more scholarships and benefits.
He should have offered more so that Tan Mo would have come to Tsinghua instead.
At the time, he'd thought that it was rare for someone as young as Tan Mo to have such good academic records...
He'd thought he'd offered the best terms possible.
He'd thought it was not worthwhile giving so much to a single student.
Tsinghua was a top school anyway. They would attract the top talent.
