Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

During dinner, Wang Xiaohua told Niu Chunsheng and Lin Xiaofang that tomorrow was the day for filling out the volunteer application, and he wanted to go back early tonight to prepare; he left right after finishing the meal.

Also, he would take a day off tomorrow to go back to school to fill out the volunteer application.

Niu Chunsheng and Lin Xiaofang happily agreed.

Niu Linxin was overjoyed, because this was equivalent to giving her a day off.

Niu Chunsheng asked with concern:

"Xiaohua, do you plan to apply to Tsinghua University or Peking University?"

Actually, Wang Xiaohua was still hesitating; these past few days he had been repeatedly considering and weighing whether to prioritize choosing a major or prioritize choosing a school.

If he prioritized choosing a major, then he definitely would not apply to Tsinghua and Peking University, because if he got in he estimated he wouldn't be able to pick any good major.

If he prioritized choosing a school, then it would undoubtedly be applying to one of these two.

After repeated inner weighing, he still felt that applying for a major he was optimistic about and liked was better; although Tsinghua and Peking University are hard to come by, the major he applied for would determine his fate for the rest of his life.

Compared to a moment's honor, his future life's fate was more important.

"I probably won't apply to either; with my score, even if I get into Tsinghua or Peking University, I won't be able to pick a good major."

Wang Xiaohua answered like this.

Niu Chunsheng immediately showed surprise:

"You're not joking, are you? Tsinghua and Peking University are the top two schools in the country; no matter what major, they're definitely stronger than other schools!"

Niu Chunsheng hurriedly persuaded:

"I advise you to consider carefully; Tsinghua and Peking University are hard to come by!"

The reason he persuaded Wang Xiaohua had another important reason.

That was, his Spring City Real Estate Company had already put down three hundred thousand, preparing to jointly present a scholarship to Wang Xiaohua with the County Government.

If Wang Xiaohua didn't apply to Tsinghua or Peking University, the advertising effect this sum of money would achieve would be greatly discounted.

Only Tsinghua and Peking University could create a sensation throughout the entire county town, even the entire city.

Other universities all fell just a bit short of that impact.

"Exactly, if you don't even go to Tsinghua or Peking University, what university would you go to?"

Lin Xiaofang also chimed in to persuade.

She hadn't thought that much; she simply felt that being able to get into Tsinghua or Peking University but not going would be too much of a pity.

Tsinghua and Peking University are the universities countless people dream of!

As long as you can get in, who cares what major!

"Uncle Chunsheng, Aunt Xiaofang, thank you for your suggestions, but I feel that the major is more important."

Wang Xiaohua said goodbye to Niu Chunsheng and Lin Xiaofang and went back to his rental house.

He had just left when Niu Chunsheng became very unsettled.

"If Xiaohua doesn't apply to Tsinghua or Peking University, then things are going to be big trouble."

Niu Chunsheng frowned, his expression deep and grave.

"Whether he applies to Tsinghua or Peking University or not, what's it got to do with us? Look at you with your brows knitted tight, caring so much for Wang Xiaohua — people who don't know the truth would probably think you're his biological father!"

Lin Xiaofang rolled her eyes and muttered: "Don't see you being this devoted to your own daughter!"

Niu Chunsheng gave a bitter laugh:

"You don't understand. I've already taken out three hundred thousand in the company's name, preparing to jointly donate this sum to Wang Xiaohua with the County Government. If Wang Xiaohua gets admitted to Tsinghua or Peking University, my three hundred thousand spent could achieve an advertising effect of three million or even ten million; but if he doesn't get into Tsinghua or Peking University, this money will have been spent in vain!"

Lin Xiaofang, hearing this, couldn't help but stare blankly:

"You took out this much money for Wang Xiaohua, why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Niu Chunsheng said:

"This isn't giving it to Wang Xiaohua; this is a business activity. You don't really understand business, so what's there to discuss with you? If I discussed it with you, you definitely wouldn't be willing. The Spring City Real Estate Company was just established; it desperately needs to make a splash with advertising."

Lin Xiaofang became somewhat unhappy, pursing her lips:

"Now Wang Xiaohua doesn't even plan to apply to Tsinghua or Peking University; let's see what you'll do!"

Niu Chunsheng's expression turned incomparably heavy, and he immediately said hurriedly:

"No good, I have to quickly think of a way to make Wang Xiaohua change his mind; I must make him apply to Tsinghua or Peking University!"

Lin Xiaofang chuckled:

"Could it be you still dare to have someone tamper with his volunteer application?"

Niu Chunsheng said:

"Such a stupid and vicious act, I would never do!"

Then Niu Chunsheng dialed Xiao Xueqing's phone.

At this time Xiao Xueqing had already gotten off work and was at home eating dinner; she originally didn't want to answer, letting the phone ring just like that, but Niu Chunsheng wouldn't let up — one call didn't connect, he dialed a second time; the second didn't connect, he actually dialed a third time.

"Could there be some urgent matter?"

Xiao Xueqing muttered this sentence to herself, and finally answered Niu Chunsheng's call.

"Mr. Niu, really sorry, I was just busy, put my phone aside, so I couldn't answer your call the first time."

"No problem, no problem. The one who should say sorry is me; calling County Magistrate Xiao so late, disturbing you."

"Mr. Niu, what matter do you have?"

"There's a matter, and a big one at that — isn't tomorrow the day for filling out volunteer applications? Wang Xiaohua just told me he doesn't intend to apply to Tsinghua or Peking University."

"What? He's actually not applying to Tsinghua or Peking?" Xiao Xueqing was immediately surprised.

These past few days she had been contacting many local enterprises non-stop, securing joint donations from over twenty companies, and was preparing the preliminary work in full swing, just waiting for Wang Xiaohua to be admitted to either Tsinghua or Peking University, then launching a massive publicity campaign.

"With his score he should be able to get into Tsinghua or Peking — why isn't he applying?"

Xiao Xueqing found it somewhat hard to understand, even suspecting whether Niu Chunsheng had received false information:

"Mr. Niu, is your information accurate?"

Niu Chunsheng gave a wry chuckle:

"Wang Xiaohua said it to me personally — it can't be false."

Then Niu Chunsheng added:

"County Magistrate Xiao, this matter is of great importance; I'm calling you to ask if you can think of a way to make Wang Xiaohua change his mind."

Xiao Xueqing's brows furrowed.

This matter indeed concerns major interests.

If Wang Xiaohua applied to Tsinghua or Peking, then the honor of this remote little county town's first Tsinghua/Peking University student would belong to their current county government leadership team — that's a fine political achievement, especially for those leaders in charge of education-related affairs, who would certainly all get a share of the credit.

But if Wang Xiaohua doesn't apply to Tsinghua or Peking, then no matter how high a score he gets, the honors and benefits the entire county government leadership team could enjoy would be heavily discounted.

Most importantly, she, Xiao Xueqing, had already contacted over twenty enterprises and already collected their donations — if there's no Tsinghua/Peking student as a publicity point, they certainly won't be satisfied.

This would be equivalent to her deceiving those entrepreneurs — that would offend people.

If she offends so many local entrepreneurs at once, would she still be able to continue carrying out work afterward?

"Do you know Wang Xiaohua's home address and contact number?"

Xiao Xueqing suddenly asked this one sentence.

"I know them — County Magistrate Xiao, are you planning to personally visit Wang Xiaohua's parents tomorrow morning?"

Niu Chunsheng inquired.

Xiao Xueqing said:

"Our butts are already on fire — still wait for tomorrow morning? We're going to visit Wang Xiaohua's parents tonight!"
