Chapter 39: Su Xin's Response

It must be said, Su Xin is truly too popular right now, or perhaps the title chosen by that fellow car enthusiast was simply too eye-catching; the video spread completely across the internet before long, sparking a wave of heated discussion.

"This is what you call high-definition, for f***'s sake?"

"I was wondering, the title made me think President Su had changed careers to film adult movies. I think with his net worth and ability, that shouldn't be the case."

"However, although the image isn't clear and you can't see his face, judging by the sound of his voice and the content, it should be President Su without a doubt."

"I have to say, President Su is just too strong. We ordinary people can barely afford a bathroom after ten years, yet he arrives in Tianjing for a month and can afford to buy a house, and he doesn't even look at the price, only the location. Truly awesome!"

"And besides buying his own house, he even bought a building for his company employees as a housing benefit. My god, I want to go to Tianqi Technology too!"

"A house in Tianjing City, even if you share it with others and the location isn't very good, costs at least two or three thousand a month. President Su is effectively saving his employees two or three thousand in expenses every month. He really has a conscience!"

"Don't say another word, I'm going to quit my job and go to Tianjing to apply to Tianqi Technology! Immediately! Right now!"

"Also, when Su Xin won the championship at the Qianlong Cup before, didn't he refuse the special recruitment from the five top universities? How come it sounds like he still wants to go to Jing University?"

"That's right, I also remember he refused the special recruitment at the time. I originally thought he wanted to drop out and start a business. He has indeed been busy with company matters in Tianjing for over a month, so why does it sound like he still wants to continue his schooling?"

"Having refused the special recruitment, can he still get into Jing University? He wouldn't be thinking of paying his way in, would he?"

"Although I admire him, I feel this behavior is really quite inadvisable, and even less worthy of being widely publicized. Otherwise, how would other students participating in the college entrance exam feel?"

Many netizens began to shift the focus of their discussion to Su Xin's plan to enter Jing University.

Originally, it is very common for well-known entrepreneurs to be invited by certain universities to become honorary alumni or honorary professors due to their outstanding social achievements, and people generally don't feel there is any problem with that.

But for someone like Su Xin, who is clearly standing on the same starting line as other students about to take the college entrance exam, to enter a top university just because he has money, and to make it known to everyone, is indeed somewhat inappropriate.

It is just like those students who enter top universities through huge donations; it wouldn't be much of a problem if they kept a low profile, but if they are too ostentatious or accidentally make it known to everyone, the school authorities might also worry about the impact and cancel the special recruitment.

Now that Su Xin has vowed that he is going to enter Jing University, it soon caused quite a stir in public opinion online.

Especially the remarks of one netizen, which gained the approval of the majority—

I admit that President Su is very capable, and he previously obtained the special recruitment qualification for the five top universities because of the Qianlong Cup championship, but since he has already publicly refused it, he no longer has the qualification to enter the five top universities through this special recruitment opportunity.

Otherwise, where are the rules? Where is the fairness?

Since he is so capable, he doesn't need to achieve himself through Jing University. Tianqi Technology alone is enough for him to live a life free from worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life, or even live a very affluent life. There is no need to use special means to occupy the educational resources of his peers.

After all, educational resources are limited. One more special recruit might mean one less regular admission, and for the vast majority of others, a spot at Jing University is a life-changing opportunity.

Therefore, if President Su uses special means to enter Jing University, it will very likely cause some student who originally had the possibility of entering Jing University to be rejected.

Here, I would like to call on many netizens to say a few words to President Su together—

President Su, if you take the college entrance exam normally, no problem. Whatever school you have the ability to get into is your own ability. But we want to implore you, do not use money or programming skills or other external factors to help yourself enter any university. The current you no longer needs a top university to prove yourself; instead, you can bring prestige to any ordinary college. So, please give all your classmates a fair chance to compete with you, even if it is just on the special battlefield of the college entrance exam.

This statement soon gained the approval of many netizens and also reached Su Xin's ears, because there were too many people tagging him on his blog.

Su Xin thought for a moment, and as he was leaving the high-speed rail station, he posted his first personal blog entry—

Thank you all for your attention and encouragement. I promise everyone I will not use external means, but I am still going to Jing University, because I will definitely exceed their admission score line. Confident peace sign!

Once this blog post was published, it immediately sparked even more heated discussion.

But Su Xin did not pay any more attention to it.

He put away his phone, followed the flow of people to check his ticket and exit the station. Near the exit, he saw a dark-skinned middle-aged man waving vigorously at him.

"Xiaoxin, over here!"

"Dad!"

A smile appeared on Su Xin's face as he shouted loudly and waved back vigorously.

The two soon met up.

"You brat, I haven't seen you in half a year, you look quite a bit more handsome, haha!"

Su Zhengming patted him on the shoulder and laughed happily.

"That's for sure, people rely on their clothes! Dad, you look much more energetic than before, too."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, then walked toward the taxis and soon got into a car heading home.

It was already past six in the evening when they returned home, just in time for dinner, and Zhang Chunhua had already prepared a sumptuous meal.

The three of them chatted while eating, their words filled with satisfaction with their current life.

"By the way, where did you buy the house? Have you contacted anyone for renovations?"

"Not yet. We plan to rebuild our old home in the village into a large villa style. Anyway, I'm already learning to drive, and when the time comes, I'll buy a car. Living in the old home is both comfortable and convenient. There are so many acquaintances in the village; chatting and playing chess every day is much more comfortable than living in the city."

Su Xin nodded: "Whatever you feel is comfortable, do that. But I suggest you still buy a house in the city and have it renovated in advance. In case you get tired of living in the village one day, you can change your environment and mood at any time."

Su Zhengming thought for a moment and nodded: "That works too. When you go to university and find a girlfriend, in case she isn't used to living in the countryside, you two can go live in the city."

Su Xin was speechless.

His parents used to worry about him having puppy love, and now that he is about to take the college entrance exam, they are already thinking about him finding a girlfriend in university. This change is too fast.

At this moment, his mother Zhang Chunhua said hesitantly:

"By the way, Xiaoxin, there is something I want to mention to you."

"Mom, go ahead."

"Now many people know you've made a lot of money. These past few days, people from the village have been coming to borrow money from us from time to time. I didn't know how to refuse, so I just said you were busy at the company and I didn't dare call to disturb you, and that's how I've been putting it off."

"If you return to the village, someone might come to borrow money from you in person. At that time, it won't be easy to refuse directly, after all, they are fellow villagers and many are our own kin. But if we don't refuse, more and more people will definitely come to us, and it won't be easy to ask them to pay it back in the future."

"Xiaoxin, you are capable now and have your own ideas, so I wanted to ask for your opinion on this matter. What do you think?"

Su Xin gradually frowned.

If he had kept a low profile and others didn't know how rich he was, it would have been easy to solve.

But he has been too high-profile these days; let alone the village, almost all netizens in Long Country know how rich he is. If it weren't for the good public security in Long Country, he or his parents would likely have been kidnapped long ago.
