Chapter 167.1
At the left side of the school entrance, there were two tables, two teachers, and five students holding a sign that read “Welcome Yi Feng to South China University.”
A sophomore from the student council glanced at the sign and asked a junior in a low voice, “Senior Wu, who is this Yi Feng? Why is even Teacher Song from the Computer Science department coming out to welcome him?”
“Don’t you know? Haven’t you read the newspaper? He’s our province’s top scorer in this year’s college entrance exam!” the third-year Senior Wu glanced at him.
“Ah? The top scorer of the college entrance exam? Then why did he choose our South China University? Shouldn’t he be at Tsinghua University, Peking North University, or Shanghai University? Why our school?” the sophomore asked in astonishment.
Senior Wu shook his head, “I don’t know either. Anyway, I heard he turned down Tsinghua and Peking University, even offers from overseas Ivy League schools with scholarships of fifty thousand dollars a year. He refused them all and specifically chose our South China University.”
“Heh, when the teachers from our admissions office heard about this, they even made a special trip to his house. They came back all smiles.”
“I heard the school offered him a full scholarship for four years, including tuition waivers!”
“That’s why, to show how much we value him, they specifically arranged for Teacher Xu and Teacher Song from the admissions office to come to the school gate to welcome him!”
Hearing this, the sophomore’s face was filled with shock, “My goodness, a scholar who even refused Ivy League schools, no wonder the school values him so much!”
Their murmuring was overheard by Xu Hui sitting in front, “Cough cough, what are you whispering about? If you meet Yi Feng later, make sure to be enthusiastic and help him complete the enrollment procedures.”
Senior Wu Qixiang replied with a smile, “Yes, yes, don’t worry, Teacher Xu. We will definitely show the excellent spirit of South China University and welcome junior Yi.”
Nearby, the Computer Science teacher, Song Kangwen, glanced at his watch and said, “Isn’t it about time for the appointment? Why haven’t we seen him yet?”
He had a slightly dark complexion, wore thick glasses, and had the demeanor of a scholarly gentleman.
He was the homeroom teacher of Computer Science major class 1 and also a vice-professor in the Computer Science department.
“It should be soon. If it gets late, I’ll give him a call. Today is the first day of registration, so the roads might be busier than usual,” Song Hui spoke with a smile, showing patience.
Suddenly, an Audi 100 appeared on the main road, very noticeable among the local Xiali, Jetta, and Santana cars, a rare luxury vehicle in the area.
The appearance of the Audi 100 immediately caught the attention of many students, who quickly made way for the car.
“Wow, is that an Audi? Which high-ranking official is coming?”
“Must be a city official’s child coming to study?”
“Wow, luxury cars are so beautiful. The body, the wheels, it’s like a piece of art!”
…
Song Hui also noticed the car and quickly stood up, pushing up his glasses, trying to see if it was a high-ranking official visiting unexpectedly.
After all, cars of this model were mostly official vehicles, and those seated in them were usually of high rank.
The car slowly moved forward, then turned towards the left side of the school, heading in their direction.
After a while, the car stopped in front of them.
Song Hui approached with a smile, waiting by the car window.
The window slowly rolled down, revealing a handsome young man in the driver’s seat.
Seeing this, Song Hui was momentarily stunned, then his surprise turned to delight.
“Uh, ah, it’s Yi Feng!”
“Ha ha! Welcome, Yi Feng!”
