Chapter 101: Chapter 101: Walk a Hundred Steps After Dinner

Time flew by, and soon five days had passed. The day after Director Li and Principal Qian left, Lin Yi finally received news that Dong Jingjing had been transferred to the school’s security department.

Regarding this, Lin Yi just laughed it off. Given his current status, there was no need to cling to a small fry like this.

Apart from Dong Jingjing’s issue, in these few days, not only did Tsinghua University’s admissions team and Beijing University’s admissions team visit the island, but many other famous domestic universities also sent their admissions teams.

The purpose of their visit, besides aiming for Lin Yi, was also for Xiao Zihan.

However, they kept a low profile and didn’t publicize it widely. After all, the early acquisition of exam results hadn’t been made public.

As for Xiong Cancan’s side, for some unknown reason, she ultimately didn’t reveal Lin Yi’s results.

Despite all the tempting offers proposed to her by various universities, Xiao Zihan, who promised Lin Yi that she’d go to the same school, didn’t agree to any of them.

This made Lin Yi quite proud, showing that his charm was strong enough!

With only two days left before the announcement of the results, the universities’ two main targets hadn’t made any progress, which made them somewhat anxious.

They had to admit that their influence was quite significant; some even indirectly approached Lin Yi’s family and relatives to persuade him.

So, last night, his uncle’s family unexpectedly showed up at Lin Yi’s home carrying a bunch of nutritional supplements.

They claimed it was because Lin Yi had just finished the college entrance exams and needed some nutrients to replenish his energy.

However, between the lines, they were praising certain universities.

It was clear that his uncle’s family had received quite a few benefits.

Of course, their 180-degree change in attitude towards Lin Yi greatly pleased Empress Dowager Ye.

After they left, she couldn’t help but hum a little tune. Finally, her status in her maternal family had risen through the roof.

…

But during these five days, the online buzz about the “academic loser Lin” gradually faded, evidently due to some departments stepping in to regulate the situation.

On this day, after having kept them waiting for five days, Lin Yi finally called Tsinghua’s admissions team to arrange a meeting.

This call made the Tsinghua admissions team overjoyed!

They were already prepared to return empty-handed, anticipating that Lin Yi might be swayed by Beijing University’s “1:1 male-to-female ratio,” but to their surprise, they received a call from Lin Yi wanting to meet.

After reporting this to the school, they immediately received the directive: “No matter the cost, bring him to our school!!”

Certainly, Tsinghua wasn’t just eyeing Lin Yi’s scores at any cost.

What they really valued was the buzz around Lin Yi being a top scorer.

Just imagine, if it became publicly known that the national top scorer decisively chose Tsinghua University, a series of operations like this could ensure Tsinghua overshadowing Beijing University the following year, firmly becoming the number one in the country.

Conversely, if Beijing University managed to win over Lin Yi, the logic would be the same.

Thus directed, the Tsinghua admissions team met with Lin Yi.

On meeting, Lin Yi was straightforward:

“With my scores, I can go anywhere, that’s without question. So I have two demands, as long as you agree to them, I can sign the enrollment agreement with you today.”

Right after he said this, Tsinghua’s representatives eagerly agreed. You’re kidding, not just two demands, even ten or a hundred wouldn’t be an issue!

Seeing this, Lin Yi nodded, then held up one finger and said:

“First, during my time at university, I won’t attend regular classes. I intend to start my own business, and I’ll require the school’s support, whether it’s in terms of facilities or personnel, basically everything except financial help. Of course, I can assure you that my credits won’t be compromised.”

Initially, they hesitated after hearing the beginning, but when they heard that Lin Yi didn’t need financial support, they relaxed.

After all, entrepreneurship is a bottomless pit, and the school couldn’t invest boundlessly for just one applicant like Lin Yi.

However, if Lin Yi didn’t need financial aid, then there was no problem at all.

Regarding the facilities, honestly, it wasn’t an issue; with so many vacant rooms on campus, giving him one wasn’t a problem.

As for personnel support, that was even easier. As long as you could offer sufficient remuneration, you could have as much support as you needed.

Without a second thought, they immediately agreed.

They then looked to Lin Yi, waiting for his second condition.

Seeing that they agreed without hesitation, Lin Yi couldn’t help but chuckle to himself. He had just mentioned that he required all support from the school except financial help, which naturally included research equipment.

Although he had a decent fortune, establishing his own laboratory was a pipe dream. Some lab equipment is worth more than his entire current fortune.

Furthermore, this was one reason Lin Yi ultimately chose Tsinghua.

Compared to Beijing University, renowned for the humanities, Tsinghua, known for its sciences, was a better choice.

As for that 1:1 male-to-female ratio, Lin Yi didn’t really care. After all, he already had Xiao Zihan, a girlfriend of national beauty and heavenly fragrance.

Frankly, even if Lin Yi didn’t have a girlfriend, he would still choose Tsinghua.

After all, if you’re exceptional enough, the ladies of Beijing University would come to Tsinghua offering themselves.

Isn’t there an old saying, “As long as there’s emotion, the junior will travel a thousand miles to deliver the goods?”

Oops, wrong saying, it should be, “As long as the relationship is good, the senior won’t run away~”

“Well, since you’ve agreed, let’s include this condition in our agreement when we sign. As for the second condition, it’s regarding my girlfriend Xiao Zihan. I can bring her along with me, but as you’ve seen her family situation, it’s best if you prepare adequate scholarships and such.”

In fact, Lin Yi could have skipped mentioning this condition, as with Xiao Zihan’s scores, Tsinghua would certainly offer her plenty of assistance like scholarships.

Lin Yi’s intention was just to let them know that Xiao Zihan is his girlfriend…
