Chapter 65: I Will Surely Be the Brightest Star!

In the end, Lu Tao sighed and said, “I will go back and consult with the school leaders to try to allocate one more spot for the Finance major in Dongshan Province.”

“Old Lu, you’re not being very principled in how you handle things! If you’re sincere, you should call your leaders now and settle this matter!” Chen Chuan started to instigate.

Lu Tao’s words reignited the hope that had died in him.

He was very clear that if Jingcheng University’s Finance major couldn’t admit Su Xiaoli, Tang Feng might, in a fit of anger, possibly turn to Tsinghua University!

In this way, he wouldn’t have failed the trust placed in him by the school leaders!

Lu Tao glared at him and began to make the call.

Time ticked away by the second.

Everyone waited patiently.

After ending the call, Lu Tao said to Tang Feng, “I just consulted with the school leaders, and they agreed to add one more spot for the Finance major in Dongshan Province.”

Hearing this, Chen Chuan knew there was no point in staying any longer.

He turned and left.

Principal Fang and others quickly stood up to see him off.

“Tang Feng, Su Xiaoli, congratulations on becoming new students of the 2003 class at Jingcheng University! However, we still need to go through the formalities. When you fill out your college application forms tomorrow, just choose Jingcheng University as your first choice!” Lu Tao said, extending his right hand.

Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli exchanged smiles and shook hands with Lu Tao.

“Tang Feng, I want to remind you, the Department of Mathematics at Jingcheng University is the best department. Although you scored full marks in the entrance examination mathematics, many students in the mathematics department were admitted through competitions. If you want to maintain an advantage in college, it’s best to master some college-level mathematics knowledge during this summer break,” Lu Tao earnestly advised.

“I know,” Tang Feng nodded, “The Department of Mathematics at Jingcheng University is indeed full of stars! But I believe I will surely be the brightest one among them!”

“Haha! Well said! You indeed have the capital to be proud! That’s all for today! See you in Jingcheng!” Lu Tao laughed heartily.

Tang Feng and the others escorted Lu Tao to the school gate.

After Lu Tao left, the school leaders came forward to congratulate them.

“Tang Feng, you are the first provincial top scorer that Binjiang No. 1 Middle School has nurtured since its establishment! I’m proud of you!” Principal Fang’s eyes were slightly red.

He was genuinely happy.

“Su Xiaoli, you are also amazing! Of course, your admission into the Finance major at Jingcheng University owes a lot to Tang Feng.”

Su Xiaoli didn’t say anything but looked at Tang Feng.

“As all the teachers can see, as long as a candidate is sufficiently outstanding, even top universities like Jingcheng University will make concessions. I hope everyone continues to work hard to nurture more excellent students,” Principal Fang looked around at everyone.

People exchanged glances.

Thinking the principal was making it sound easier said than done.

After all, Tang Feng was not only the top science student in Dongshan Province but also scored a full mark in the entrance examination.

Such achievements are unprecedented and will likely remain unmatched.

It’s not just about surpassing; even catching up is an impossible mission.

Tang Feng bid farewell to Principal Fang and the others, then left with Su Xiaoli.

Along the way, Su Xiaoli occasionally stole glances at Tang Feng.

She wanted to say something but didn’t know what to say.

Her heart was filled with gratitude.

After all, if Tang Feng hadn’t taken the initiative, Jingcheng University might not have agreed to add an additional spot for the Finance major.

In that case, even if she had been admitted to Jingcheng University, she might not have been as happy.

Soon, they returned home.

Tang Long and his wife and Su Gang had been waiting for a long time.

“Little Feng, how did your talk with the admissions officer go?” Tang Feng’s Mother couldn’t wait to ask.

“It’s all settled. Xiaoli and I have both chosen to apply to Jingcheng University,” Tang Feng answered.

“What about your majors? Are they what you wanted?” Tang Feng’s Mother continued to ask.

“Yes!” Tang Feng nodded.

“That’s really great! It looks like we really need to celebrate this time!” Tang Feng’s Mother was overjoyed, extremely happy.

“Uncle, Auntie, my admission into the Finance major at Jingcheng University, I have to thank Tang Feng,” Su Xiaoli spoke up.

“Why?” Tang Long and his wife were puzzled.

“Xiaoli, it’s just a small matter; you don’t need to worry about it,” Tang Feng comforted her.

“How can I not worry about it? This year, Jingcheng University’s Finance major in Dongshan Province only had one spot, which had already been reserved by a student who scored 728 in the entrance examination. The admissions officer said he would ask the school leaders to see if they could add one more spot. At that moment, Tang Feng took the initiative to set a condition, asking them to add this spot. The admissions officer had no choice but to call and apply on the spot, and in the end, it was approved,” Su Xiaoli explained in one breath.

“Tang Feng, I really didn’t misjudge you, lad! You have responsibility, you keep your promises, and you can make things happen!” Su Gang said, raising his thumb.

Su Xiaoli, after all, is his daughter. Tang Feng’s actions were all for the benefit of his children, so Tang Feng would naturally earn his respect, both emotionally and logically!

“It’s a minor matter, not worth mentioning!” Tang Feng said, a bit embarrassed.

“Little Feng, Xiaoli, now that you’ve both been admitted to Jingcheng University, what do you plan to do in the coming period?” Tang Long asked with interest.

“Learn to drive,” the two answered in unison.

“When will the admission notices be sent out?” Su Gang asked.

“In about half a month. We still need to go to school to fill out our college application forms tomorrow,” Su Xiaoli answered.

“You’ve already been admitted to Jingcheng University, why do you still need to fill out application forms?” Tang Long and the others were very puzzled.

“This is just an agreement between the admissions officers and us. The normal process still needs to be followed,” Tang Feng replied.

“It seems that to get these high-scoring students, even top universities like Jingcheng University and Tsinghua University have to make various compromises. They want to attract all the high-scoring students to their schools,” Su Gang couldn’t help but sigh.

“Of course. The more excellent students there are, the more they can ensure the quality of the school and improve the school’s reputation. Without excellent students, it’s difficult to maintain the quality of the school,” Tang Long added.

“By the way, Little Feng, apart from Jingcheng University and Tsinghua University, did any other universities contact you?” Su Gang changed the subject.

“No,” Tang Feng shook his head, “Maybe because Xiaoli and I scored too high, so the other universities thought there was no hope.”

“Having high scores really has its benefits. Even a few extra points can make a big difference,” Tang Long sighed.

“Of course. With Little Feng’s score, any school, any major, it’s his choice! But with Xiaoli’s score, some majors are not an option! Of course, those who scored even lower than her have even less choice,” Su Gang responded.
