Chapter 207: Choosing Neither (Part 1)

To secure an excellent student like Zhao Qingfeng, the admissions officers from Tsinghua University and Peking University went to great lengths.

The offers were extremely tempting.

Besides the 800,000 yuan in scholarships each could offer, there were various other perks such as future research opportunities and faculty positions.

Which student wouldn’t want to go to Tsinghua or Peking University?

It was a chance to bring glory to their ancestors and shine a light on their family.

Shen Lingyao had once dreamed of this as well.

But she knew she didn’t have the capabilities. Today, her beloved Brother Qingfeng managed to effortlessly gain admission to the highest institution of learning in all students’ eyes, and even made two normally calm and scholarly admissions officers fight over him like hungry wild dogs over a meat bun.

Li Sibo was extremely envious.

He chose the Computer Science department at Tsinghua and only received a 500,000 yuan scholarship.

Once the decision was made, he left dejectedly.

He had no interest in attending the bustling admission celebration, and even failed to get closer to Zhao Qingfeng as his mother had suggested; he left the house with a mix of sorrow and joy and went home.

“Choose.”

The scholarly Mr. Wang looked at Shen Lingyao, “Miss Shen, we’ve already made our offer. The doors of Tsinghua and Peking are open to Mr. Zhao. From the conversation between your mother and Mr. Zhao’s mother, it seems your choice could represent his. So please, don’t hesitate any longer, make a decision for him.”

After he finished speaking.

Shen Lingyao’s expression changed.

Tears of joy never stopped flowing, her eyes were red, and her little face was flushed.

She wished more than anything to have Brother Qingfeng stay by her side and go with her to report to Ji Province University.

But what the two admissions officers said was also very realistic; gold indeed shines, but not everywhere.

By comparison.

The admission score of 580 points for Ji Province University was nothing compared to Tsinghua and Peking.

Moreover, as the admissions officers mentioned, the circle of friends is also very important. The northern province is too small; it simply cannot compare to the Beijing circle. At his young age, Zhao Qingfeng, by going to university in Beijing, will surely meet many outstanding people, which will be extremely helpful for his future development and promise unlimited prospects.

“The future…”

Shen Lingyao murmured these words.

She remembered her father once saying that a true man aims to travel far and wide, and the north is not as developed as the south, Ji Province University simply cannot compare to Peking and Tsinghua.

If love is long-lasting, what does it matter if it is not spent together day and night?

Besides, Beijing is not far from the provincial city, just over a dozen hours by car.

They could meet on weekends, and with the winter and summer vacations, plus with QQ, they could always stay in touch…

“…”

God knows how much determination it took for Shen Lingyao, “Aunt Feng, I just heard Li Sibo’s mother say that the Computer Science department at Tsinghua is very impressive, and coincidentally, Brother Qingfeng also wants to study Computer Science, so let him go to Tsinghua…”

“Great!”

Mr. Song from Tsinghua was so excited he almost jumped up, “Miss Shen, your decision is very wise. Look, Mr. Zhao is here, tell him!”

Zhao Qingfeng had just walked over.

Upon hearing Shen Lingyao make a decision for him, he immediately shook his head, “I’m not going to Tsinghua.”

This time, it was Mr. Wang from Peking University’s turn to be happy, “Hahaha, Mr. Zhao, your decision is very wise! What does Tsinghua have that our Peking University doesn’t? We are a century-old prestigious school, welcome to join Peking University!”

After he finished speaking.

Mr. Song’s heart was about to break, “Mr. Zhao, the Computer Science department at Peking University is not good!”

Mr. Wang smirked, “What do you mean ‘not good’? How do you know it’s not good?”
