Chapter 58: The Ancestral Tomb Emits Blue Smoke

“Little Feng, you don’t have to listen to Teacher He. No matter which university you decide to attend, we will support you,” Tang Feng’s Mother immediately stated her position after He Yong left.

“I know,” Tang Feng nodded and said, “Xiaoli and I have already agreed to go to Jingcheng University together! No one can change that.”

“But with such high scores, I’m afraid the recruitment officers from Tsinghua University will definitely come looking for you,” Tang Long worried.

“Not just Tsinghua University, but recruitment officers from other top universities in the country will also come looking for me. I’m already mentally prepared,” Tang Feng said with a slight smile.

“Little Feng, I never even dreamed that one day my son would be so sought after! As parents, we are really proud,” Tang Feng’s Mother laughed happily.

“Mom, the most glorious days are still ahead! I want to be your pride!” Tang Feng’s emotions became somewhat excited.

In fact, not only his mother had never dreamed of it, but even he had not expected that one day he would not only be reborn but also obtain a god-level sign-in system, becoming a true academic master!

He couldn’t help but get excited!

He had never dreamed that he would become the object of contention among these top universities in the country!

For him, this was the first peak of his life!

“You are already our pride! Come, son, sit down! Let’s drink a toast,” Tang Long was suddenly filled with emotion!

Tang Feng sat down opposite him.

Father and son drank and chatted, thoroughly enjoying themselves!

After drinking and eating, Tang Feng greeted his parents and returned to his room.

“Husband, you drank a bit too much tonight!” Tang Feng’s Mother couldn’t help but murmur.

“It’s okay! I’m really happy today! I never expected Teacher He to personally visit, entrusted by someone to persuade our son to apply to Tsinghua University! What an honor!” Tang Long said, becoming somewhat emotional.

“People went out of their way to visit, and our son still insists on applying to Jingcheng University. To be honest, I feel a bit sorry,” Tang Feng’s Mother’s face showed a hint of apology.

Tang Long nodded and said, “Yes! And Teacher He’s suggestion does make sense! The computer science major has excellent job prospects in the future! However, as parents, we should still respect our child’s choice! After all, it’s him who is going to school, not us.”

“The mathematics major should also be good! After all, the Mathematics Department of Jingcheng University is also a prestigious brand. If Little Feng studies hard and can graduate with a PhD, staying on as a teacher would also be a good choice,” Tang Feng’s Mother’s eyes revealed a hopeful look.

“Anyway, Little Feng being able to get into Jingcheng University is already like our ancestral tomb emitting blue smoke. Once we get the admission letter from Jingcheng University, I’ll take Little Feng back to our hometown, visit my father’s grave, and tell him the good news!” Tang Long said, his eyes slightly reddening.

“Ah! Dad loved Little Feng the most when he was alive. It’s a pity…” Tang Feng’s Mother sighed.

“Little Feng getting into Jingcheng University can also be considered a consolation to his spirit in heaven. It’s getting late; I’m going to sleep,” Tang Long said, then returned to the bedroom.

Tang Feng’s Mother sat on the sofa, idly turning on the TV.

By this time, Tang Feng had already told Su Xiaoli about He Yong’s visit.

However, Su Xiaoli had not replied to his message.

After about half an hour, his phone rang.

It was a call from Su Xiaoli.

“What were you doing?” Tang Feng asked with a smile.

“Do you know who came to my house just now?” Su Xiaoli counter-asked.

“Teacher He?” Tang Feng guessed.

“Exactly!” Su Xiaoli nodded and said, “He wanted me to apply to Tsinghua University.”

“Did you agree?”

“No! Didn’t we agree to go to Jingcheng University together?” Su Xiaoli answered.

“I sent you a message just now about this. Teacher He came to my house, too, advising me to apply to Tsinghua University.”

“I knew you wouldn’t agree,” Su Xiaoli sounded very confident.

“Yes! Although I know Teacher He will be unhappy, I still insist on my choice,” Tang Feng laughed.

“Teacher He must be quite frustrated. He tried to persuade two of us and got turned down by both,” Su Xiaoli said with a hint of a sigh.

“No way around it! We can’t have the best of both worlds! Between Jingcheng University and Tsinghua University, we can only choose one,” Tang Feng replied.

“It looks like the next few days are going to be lively. In addition to Jingcheng University and Tsinghua University, I guess recruitment officers from other top-ranked universities in the country will also be looking for us,” Su Xiaoli said.

“That’s normal! These universities also want the best students. When the recruitment officers from Jingcheng University contact us, let’s not rush to agree,” Tang Feng advised.

“Ah? Do you have some other idea?” Su Xiaoli was clearly surprised.

“We’re definitely going to Jingcheng University, that’s settled. But I want to negotiate for our own benefits,” Tang Feng answered.

“Benefits? You’re not thinking of bargaining with the recruitment officers from Jingcheng University, are you?” Su Xiaoli guessed.

“It’s not really bargaining, more like negotiating for some more favorable conditions. We’ll talk about this later,” Tang Feng replied.

“Okay,” Su Xiaoli nodded.

Tang Feng looked at the time; it was almost half-past ten.

He said goodbye to Su Xiaoli and then hung up the phone.

He lay on the bed and opened the system’s information panel.

After a few days of signing in, his points had reached one hundred and eighty.

He opened the points shop.

He found the exchangeable items section to be empty.

“The few points given by the sign-in are really pitiful, practically useless! System, can you assign me some missions?” Tang Feng began talking to himself.

“The request from the host has been received by the system. To allow the host to earn more points, the system has decided to issue a new mission!”

“The host needs to open a new restaurant. For the first week of operation, one percent of the daily revenue can be exchanged for points.”

“To assist the host in successfully completing the mission, the system has specially allocated five hundred thousand as startup capital.”

“Ding! The funds have been transferred! Please check, host!”

Tang Feng hurriedly took out his phone, and indeed, he saw a message.

Five hundred thousand had been transferred into his bank account.

He was so happy he almost jumped up!

Five hundred thousand was a huge sum of money for him!

He had never dreamed that the seemingly inconspicuous system would be so generous!

A whopping five hundred thousand at once!

And it was real money, honest and fair!
