Chapter 317: Chapter 317: Letter of Acceptance
Feng Yiping was quite satisfied with the process and outcome of this operation. He was not a guy with a sense of justice, but since this happened to him, he would not just stand by with folded arms.
If Tao was just using his position and work to make a little money, even if he had said how much it would cost to get someone into the hospital, it would be fine and understandable. This kind of situation could not be eliminated even during the high-pressure anti-corruption campaign later, and it was expected to continue for quite some time.
But if you use the little power you have to force a girl in her twenties, that's despicable. No uncle could stand it, no aunt could stand it, and Feng Yiping could even less stand it. This was when he became an unofficial member of the disciplinary committee.
He told Huang Jingping the result and asked her to find an opportunity to tell Yu Lian. He didn't want her to feel indebted, but Yu Lian was still a bit gloomy, so he hoped that she would feel a bit happier after hearing the news.
While they were visiting Jing'an Temple, Yu Lian quietly moved a few steps away from Wang Changning and said to Feng Yiping, 'Thank you!'
'It has nothing to do with me. That scum will get what's coming to him for all his evil deeds. Anyway, you don't have to worry about this anymore.'
'Thank you!' Yu Lian was no child, and she also thought that it would be too coincidental.
'It's okay, have fun!' Feng Yiping looked at Wang Changning, who was looking at the entrance to the main hall of the Buddha with Xiao Zhijie, and said, 'It's best if Changning doesn't know about this.'
'Yes, that's what I was thinking,'
Xiao Zhijie and the others looked at the three people who had fallen behind with a smile. They had no intention of entering the hall and were about to walk backwards holding Zhang Qiuling's hand when their phone rang. He answered the phone and immediately jumped three feet high. In front of so many people, he tightly hugged Zhang Qiuling and seemed to be preparing to take the opportunity to kiss her, but he failed under Zhang Qiuling's gaze.
Seeing his crazed appearance, even Huang Jingping knew what was probably said on the phone just now. Sure enough, he said a few words to Wang Changning with a smile on his face, and then ran back, 'My notice has arrived, Provincial University of Economics!'
'Congratulations!' Feng Yiping also gave him a hug. After weighing the pros and cons, the Department of Financial Management, School of Accountancy, Provincial University of Economics, was the school and major Xiao Zhijie most wanted to go to, and it really was the fulfillment of his wish.
'Congratulations!' Huang Jingping patted him on the shoulder.
In the quiet temple, such a commotion was very eye-catching. Fortunately, everyone knew that this was the time when universities sent admission notices, so they could understand. Therefore, the people around them and those passing by all smiled and watched them. No one was scolding Xiao Zhijie, I guess.
They had seen so many temples along the way, and this was the first time he had made such a request. However, was this person being a bit too utilitarian? Amitabha, please Buddha and Bodhisattva, don't blame this practical guy.
'Okay,' Zhang Qiuling readily agreed with him, and she was also sincerely happy for Xiao Zhijie.
'Let's go in and kowtow too,' Wang Changning said to Lian, and then the two of them held hands and walked in. His notice hadn't arrived yet, so I guess Wang Changning was a bit anxious too.
'What about us?' Huang Jingping asked, shaking Feng Yiping's hand.
'No need! It seems like it won't help to pray at the last minute. Besides, are you still worried that I won't get the notice?'
Feng Yiping really didn't want to go kowtow, and there seemed to be some rules for kowtowing when praying to the Buddha. He hadn't studied it, so he really didn't know what to do.
'Why don't I go in alone?'
'No need,' Feng Yiping tightened Huang Jingping's hand, 'really, trust me.'
He really didn't believe it, but if he did, it would be a blessing. If the two schools he had applied to were not admitted, then there really would be no justice.
Xiao Zhijie came out with a spring in his step, noticing the hint of worry on the faces of Wang Changning and Huang Jingping behind him. They knew each other well, and he immediately understood the reason. 'What are you worried about? It must be that my notification of admission to such an unimportant university was issued early. I think Changning's notification should arrive in the next couple of days if he is admitted to a university in the province. As for Yiping, Jingping, what are you worried about? It's possible that several universities are still fighting over him!'
He put his arm around Feng Yiping's shoulders and said, 'Am I right, Boss Feng?'
'You're the boss today, and Changning and I are both jealous of you being a university student. We're going to feast on you tonight. The Meilong Town Restaurant is nearby, so let's go there!'
'Yes, let's go there. We really don't care,' Wang Changning was only worried for a little while, and was more happy for Xiao Zhijie.
'No problem, I'll go all out tonight and lose more than 100 pounds, I'll make sure you all have a good time.'
That night, Xiao Zhijie was really the most generous one. The eight of them finished more than 1,000 yuan's worth of food. In fact, the taste and so on were pretty good, but there didn't seem to be anything particularly outstanding. The service attitude wasn't very good either. The environment was really good, but that's probably just how old shops are. freewebnσvel.cѳm
The next day, when they were at the Bund, Wang Changning did indeed receive a call from home. He had been accepted by the Department of Business Administration at the Provincial University of Technology, but instead of being happy about it, he ran over to comfort Feng Yiping, saying, 'Your acceptance letter came from the capital, so it will definitely be slower.'
'I know, the usual rule. Just think about treating us to dinner there tonight!' Feng Yiping was really happy for them, but he was still a little worried. He was mainly worried that his parents were anxious.
Feng Zhenchang and the others were indeed anxious these past two days. Now they even called Feng Yuxuan four times a day. Feng Yuxuan also found out that some students who had been accepted by universities in the capital had already received their notifications, and that afternoon she grumbled, 'Is it because my brother the baldy filled out too few applications that something went wrong?'
Feng Zhenchang, who was already anxious, could not bear to hear such words at this time. He scolded her a few times, which made Feng Yuxuan feel aggrieved.
As time slowly moved forward, some gossip spread in the village. Of course, most people still wished only the best for others, but many also had the intention of laughing at others' misfortunes. After the college entrance examination results came out, the Feng family had a big feast, but if there was a problem with the admissions, Feng Zhenchang and the others really couldn't hold their faces up.
At the village entrance, the daughter-in-law of the family that looks after the gate at the village was leaning on her pole and chatting with some people under the big soapberry tree. In fact, her family's reputation in the village was not good. Her husband was a self-taught geomancer with no inherited skills, and he didn't get much business. Instead, he had already replaced the front door of their house several times, and there were many people behind their backs making fun of them.
But today, she spoke very loudly, 'My brother's eldest son, my eldest nephew, has been accepted at the University of Geology. You know, that's a 211 university. You know what 211 is, right? It's one of the best 100 universities in the country.'
Feng Zhenchang had just come from the fourth eldest brother's house, and from a distance he heard people talking about going to university. He had wanted to walk around the corner and go away, but unexpectedly the woman called out to him, 'Third Uncle, has Yiping's notice arrived yet?'
Feng Zhenchang was at a loss for words for a moment, but dealing with such situations was a piece of cake for him now. 'The teacher from their school just called me and said that they're on their way. I heard that your nephew has been accepted. Congratulations! I guess the tuition for one year is quite a lot of money. You, as his sister, have to help out at this time.'
'Yes, right now, not to mention university, even the tuition fees for junior high school and high school are a burden for ordinary people.' The university students were far away from the people around them, and their children were still in elementary school or junior high school, so they were all concerned about the topic of money.
Feng Zhenchang successfully steered the conversation in another direction, but the woman just happened to pursue the question, 'Oh, that's good. Everyone says that with a performance like Yiping's brother-in-law's, universities will definitely be fighting over him. Did the teacher say which school it was?'
Feng Zhenchang has now developed a temper. In the past, he would have scolded the woman, but now he is more restrained. He is about to speak when his phone rings. It's his daughter. He doesn't bother with the woman and says, 'I'm here already. Okay, I'll call Yiping right away.'
He calmly dialed the number while saying to the person next to him, 'I just received the notice from Tsinghua University in the capital. You guys chat while I call Yiping. He's been playing like crazy outside these days.'
The people under the soapberry tree immediately followed up, expressing their congratulations in a flurry of voices. They had heard of the universities in the province, but most people had heard of the ones in the capital, and knew that they were of extraordinary value.
At this time, Feng Yiping and the others had already arrived in Yangzhou and were by the Slender West Lake. Huang Jingping listened attentively as he spoke with Feng Zhenchang, but she couldn't hear very well. As soon as he hung up, she immediately asked nervously, 'What's the verdict? Has the notification arrived?' These days, she was just as anxious and nervous as Feng Zhenchang and the others.
The other two couples also gathered around, 'Has it arrived?'
'Yes, I just received it.'
'Which university?'
'My first choice,'
'Wow, you're amazing!' Huang Jingping hugged him, and as usual, she wanted to kiss him on the cheek. She was about to do so when she realised that there were a few people around them, so she stopped short. Amidst Xiao Zhijie's and the others' laughter, she ran over to Zhang Qiuling and took her hand, her face turning red.
'You can rest assured, I'll let you off the hook,' Zhang Qiuling said, "but you'll be going to the capital next, so we'll be far apart!'
'Congratulations, I told you the best was saved for last," Xiao Zhijie gave him a big hug.
'Yes, get ready to treat us to a big meal tonight!' Wang Changning came over and put his arms around their shoulders, 'the universities are different in terms of prestige, so the meal tonight will definitely be different in terms of quality.'
It seemed that their travel plans would have to be suspended here. After they had toured Suzhou, Feng Yiping had told them to take the train back, as there were not many days left before the start of the semester and they would need to do some preparation. However, none of them agreed, saying that they wanted to have some more fun for a few more days. Feng Yiping understood that they would not feel at ease until they received his notification letter.
'No problem, I will definitely feed you all up with lion's head meatballs!'
