Xu Lin felt that his mom was incredibly generous.
She just handed over ten grand.
[Wealth: 253,296.29 Yuan]
High school graduate, hasn't even started university, and already has 250,000 in his pocket.
Xu Lin was feeling absolutely splendid at the moment.
And in his good mood, he couldn't help but click open the class group chat to check things out.
Only to discover that Zhao Yifei was still very active.
And also, Zhao Yifei got into Finance University?
"Interesting!"
Xu Lin was quite intrigued.
At this moment, Zhao Yifei was speaking.
Zhao Yifei: "My first-choice school didn't accept me, couldn't believe 659 points weren't enough, but it's all good, even if I had gotten in, I probably wouldn't have gotten the math major I wanted, might've even been shuffled into a really bad major."
One classmate asked: "You applied for a math major, does that mean you want to do research in this area? I heard math is really hard!"
Zhao Yifei responded: "No, I plan to work in finance and securities, math is very popular now in the fields of economics and finance, not that I want to do math research, maybe you guys have a bit of a misunderstanding about the math major, actually, it's really sought after in many fields now!"
Everyone suddenly understood.
Zhao Yifei continued.
"But I got into my second-choice school, Finance University's finance major, Finance U's finance isn't bad either, ranks in the national top ten financial programs, it's a very strong field!"
Zhao Yifei: "Using Finance U's finance as a stepping stone, I will build up my personal comprehensive abilities, while networking and gathering various resources, hoping to achieve something in the future!"
Zhao Yifei: "Classmates, let's encourage each other and strive forward!"
The applause was understood!
Zhao Yifei was in a good mood today.
After all, in the class, apart from Yu Xinyan, he had the best results and applied to the best schools.
It was natural for Zhao Yifei to feel proud.
And following his speech, many in the class started praising him.
Zhao Yifei felt even better.
And when Zhao Yifei felt good, he liked to put Xu Lin down, a day without it made him uncomfortable.
But Zhao Yifei seemed to always forget the pain after the wound healed, because Xu Lin could always get him on edge in various ways.
So Zhao Yifei @ Xu Lin: "Xu Lin, what about you, any updates on your applications? Which second-tier university accepted you?"
Xu Lin hadn't responded yet when Lei Haolong jumped in.
Lei Haolong: "Captain, you're going to be Xu Lin's classmate again!"
Huh?
Zhao Yifei: "Which brother of yours?"
Zhao Yifei couldn't possibly think it was Xu Lin.
Damn, Xu Lin only scored about twenty points above the first-tier threshold, how could he get into Finance University!
Yet.
The unexpected just happened.
Lei Haolong: "My brother is Xu Lin, who else could it be?"
Zhao Yifei: "Lei Haolong, are you kidding? Xu Lin scored 552, he can get into Finance University? Do you know how many points Finance University usually requires to apply in our province? Usually over 630! In the highest year, it was 649 points!"
Lei Haolong: "I know that, but Xu Lin's ancestral grave must have caught fire!"
Xu Lin chimed in: "That's right, I started the fire myself!"
Lei Haolong: "Xu Lin, you piece of shit!"
"Xu Lin, what do you mean?"
Zhao Yifei was puzzled.
"Captain, Xu Lin got into Finance University's economics major!"
Lei Haolong replied to him.
Zhao Yifei: "Impossible! If he could get into Finance University, I'd livestream myself eating shit!"
Xu Lin: "Ah Fei, you seem a bit greedy, but I can share a bit with you."
Damn!
Zhao Yifei was just about to type, screw you!
And just then, the long silent Yu Xinyan joined the conversation.
Yu Xinyan: "Xu Lin indeed got into Finance University's economics major!"
Then, Yu Xinyan posted the screenshots and admission info Xu Lin sent to her.
What?
Zhao Yifei thought he must be seeing things.
Xu Lin, Jiangdu University of Finance and Economics, economics major?
Impossible!
Zhao Yifei: ?
Homeroom teacher: ?
Several classmates: ?
In short, the messages were flooded with question marks.
Even the homeroom teacher and several subject teachers came out.
Xu Lin: "Luck, luck, don't be surprised, I filled in my first choice randomly, after all, my dream school is Finance U, I believe it's a dream for many classmates too, as they say, the bolder the person, the bigger the production, just go for it! Didn't expect to hit the jackpot, perhaps Finance U didn't fill all its spots, I also didn't expect to continue being classmates with the captain!"
Lei Haolong: "Damn, I'm so envious!"
Zhao Yifei: "Impossible, Xu Lin, did you photoshop the picture? Are you trying to deceive Yu Xinyan! You're just like that, putting on airs, truly disgraceful! I refuse to associate with someone like you!"
Yu Xinyan: "Xu Lin wouldn't lie to me!"
Lei Haolong: "Captain, don't be like that, as they say, you are brothers wherever you go, since we'll be new to Finance U, having my bro there for support doesn't hurt!"
Damn!
Support, my foot!
Zhao Yifei concluded Xu Lin had photoshopped the image.
Damn, 552 points to get into Finance University, doesn't that just drive people insane?
In the class group chat, except for Lei Haolong and Yu Xinyan, no one else believed it.
552 points to get into Finance University, and in one of the strong majors like economics, no one could accept it, you have to know, besides someone special like Yu Xinyan, there are sixteen people in the class with higher scores than Xu Lin, excluding Lei Haolong, there are fifteen people, these fifteen couldn't swallow it!
It seemed fake at first glance.
Xu Lin was known to be a slacker in the class.
But just when everyone was expressing their doubts, the homeroom teacher stepped in.
You have to understand, the homeroom teacher can see everyone's admission info in the class.
The homeroom teacher said, "Classmates, it's true, Xu Lin got into Jiangdu University of Finance and Economics economics major! It's likely Finance U didn't fill all its spots in the first round of admissions this year, it's rare but not impossible, other universities also have similar cases, less competition, although rare, does happen, let's congratulate Xu Lin!"
"No way!"
At home, Zhao Yifei shouted out loud, unable to accept that Xu Lin got into Finance University.
Damn.
I had 659 points to get admitted, and you got in with 552 points.
I put so much effort into preparing just to end up as your classmate?
Zhao Yifei was a bit on edge.
And homeroom teacher, were you possessed or hacked?
Then Zhao Yifei privately messaged the homeroom teacher: "Teacher, is it possible? How could Xu Lin's score get him into Finance University?"
Homeroom teacher: "The admission info has already been reported to our school, so Xu Lin getting into Finance University's economics major is true."
"Would it be possible that Xu Lin's family has connections and got him into Finance University through the back door?"
Zhao Yifei still couldn't accept it.
Homeroom teacher: "Zhao Yifei, for that he'd need very powerful connections, if Xu Lin's family had such clout, he wouldn't still be in our class! And even if he got in through connections, it wouldn't be this blatant, so yes, Zhao Yifei, it's true! (smile.jpg)"
"Damn!"
Zhao Yifei was on edge.
Thinking about going to university with Xu Lin, on the same campus.
That wasn't even the worst part.
What really hit Zhao Yifei was that Xu Lin scored 107 points less than him!
But both their majors were in Finance University's strong disciplines.
Even if Xu Lin was admitted to a worthless major, it would've been easier for Zhao Yifei to take.
At this moment.
Lei Haolong @ Zhao Yifei: "Captain, when's the livestream?"
Zhao Yifei: ...
Screw it!
Zhao Yifei was fuming.
Lei Haolong and Xu Lin, these two idiots!
Zhao Yifei stopped replying, feeling that if he continued, he might get a heart attack from these two idiots.
"But it's no big deal!"
"I should take it easy!"
"Does he really think luck is enough? Finance University is full of outstanding students from all over the country, each one very capable, Xu Lin, someone like him, can he keep up?"
"To wear the crown, one must bear its weight! Without real skills, it's like a castle in the air, easily toppled! He'll be troubled, upset, even fail to pass exams or end up being expelled!"
"And I, on the other hand, should strive to succeed, to show them who the real talent is!"
Thinking this, Zhao Yifei slowly calmed down again.
