CHAPTER 1871: CHAPTER 1696: SPECIAL ADMISSIONS

Not far.

Under the pergola.

"I’m Fan Hui, where are you all from?" Fan Hui said with a playful smile. In high school, he was closely monitored by his family, so he had long been looking forward to a place where he could freely meet girls.

Looking at this delicate face.

Leisurely.

The girls didn’t mind chatting with the opposite sex either.

"I’m from this province."

"Yangcheng."

"Shu City."

"What’s your major?"

"English."

"Industrial and Commercial."

"Computer Science."

"What a coincidence, I’m also in the Computer Science department, we might be in the same class," Fan Hui said happily, "My brother studied software at Comet Group and said high-end talent is scarce, so I signed up."

Just like...

a peacock showing off its feathers.

"Why did you choose to apply to Yantang University?"

"Good environment."

"Close to home."

"They approached me," the girl studying Computer Science replied.

"What?"

Fan Hui was confused.

"Approached you?"

The other two girls were also puzzled.

"In March, the admissions office of Yantang University came to my house and encouraged me to apply. If I got accepted, I could have a year of tuition and fees waived, plus some living allowances. Didn’t they approach you?"

"..."

The three shook their heads.

They all got in through natural admissions.

"Could it be special admissions?"

They knew.

Special admissions can have higher requirements!

"My score wasn’t lower at all; only if admitted can you have benefits," the girl explained. Not everyone has a good family background, and waiving a year’s tuition and fees, along with living allowances, is quite tempting for some families.

Her parents hesitated at that time.

But she didn’t want to burden her family, so she insisted on applying to Yantang University. As for her major, she prioritized practicality. The internet field is booming now, making it very popular.

Comet Group.

Ali.

Penguin.

Qingyuan Technology.

Some of the top private companies in Huaxia are all related to the internet.

Yantang University is a gamble for many. If, in the future, it fails due to some reason, the degree would turn into a piece of waste paper, rendering four years of effort in vain.

Not many people would risk their future.

Students agree.

Parents are not willing either.

However.

The admissions office of Yantang University was very convincing, visiting their homes for long talks. Ultimately, they were intrigued, and the balance in their family’s mind tilted, so they decided to take the plunge.

"Any other benefits?" Fan Hui was curious.

As soon as he arrived.

He discovered a ’privileged class’.

Upon further reflection, it’s not surprising.

To recruit students, the wealthy Yantang University might indeed offer such conditions. Tuition and allowances, they’re not much, and Tang Qing can fill this pit with a billion yuan.

Tang Qing doesn’t run the school for money.

That’s well known to everyone.

"I’m a Computer Science major, the school will provide a high-performance notebook computer for free, which remains the school’s property, but I can use it for free, and after graduation, the computer is mine."

"During this time, the school’s logistics will also cover the maintenance and repair of the computer. Oh, and they give a plane ticket from my hometown to Qingyan City, otherwise, I’d be reluctant to take such an expensive flight."

"..."

Oh my.

Why don’t we have these benefits?

No way.

We must ask. Before long, the school’s vehicle arrived, a luxury bus making a trip every hour, and currently, only seven people were on board, enjoying the air conditioning and quite comfortable.

On the road.

The admissions officer started the introduction:

"Once you arrive at the school, you can register and pay not far from the gate. Even if you don’t need to pay, you must still register. After placing your luggage in the dormitory, head to the logistics building to collect personal items."

"Such as school uniforms, military training clothing, student cards, meal cards, etc., and Computer Science special admissions can also collect the notebook computers provided by the school. Any questions?"

"Yes."

Fan Hui raised his hand.

"Speak."

"What’s the deal with special admissions?"

Fan Hui asked.

"Yantang University is newly founded, so the admissions office spent half a year searching across the country for the most outstanding high school seniors, hoping they would join Yantang University."

"Although it’s special admissions, there will be no score privilege. Only if you apply to Yantang University and get accepted can you enjoy the ’special admissions’ treatment from Yantang University."

After listening.

The students had a concept.

Obviously.

Yantang University is a third-rate, but it also has the ambitions of a first-rate institution.

Enrollment.

Of course, they want to recruit good performers and give special treatment, or why else would people come? Ninety-nine percent of high scorers wouldn’t come to Yantang University. It’s vying for that less than one percent.

"Any more questions?"

"I do."

"Speak."

"Are there work-study positions at the university?"

This time it was the girl studying Computer Science.

"Yes."

"There are two types of work-study jobs at the university, one non-technical, and one technical, but since you’re freshmen, it’s hard to qualify for technical roles, so you’ll have to go with the former. You can sign up at logistics."

"Is there really a reward for knowing how to swim?" the girl asked again.

"Of course, learning is free too."

At this moment.

Fan Hui chimed in, "My brother said that in Tang Qing’s company, you can learn all these for free, and if you learn, you can earn money, and those coaches who teach you can also get company subsidies."

"Are swimsuits free too?"

Fan Hui suddenly remembered this matter.

"Yes,"

the admissions officer nodded and added, "All companies under Tang Dong offer free learning, free assessment, free gym, and you can choose the first set of swimwear for free, but only once."

"Not bad."

"Yeah, yeah."

"I’m so looking forward to it, I can’t swim yet."

"Can we start learning in a few days?"

"Yes, all facilities in the school will be open, including swimming pools, gyms, and indoor and outdoor sports facilities. You can get familiar with them slowly." Even the admissions office envied this environment.

Back then.

They didn’t have such good treatment when studying, but as school staff, they could still enjoy the same as students. In total, the school upholds the principle of gaining more skills is beneficial, whether for teachers or students.

Willing to learn.

Then money will be provided.

Not much.

But it’s still an attraction so that learning isn’t useless, and at least one can buy new clothes.

"How long is our military training?"

"Twenty days."

"So long?"

"Yes."

Thinking about military training,

some were contemplating how to avoid it. Twenty days, even a week seemed long, just then, the admissions officer continued, "During military training, you can get a daily meal allowance of twenty meals, and a high-temperature subsidy of ten yuan."

"Given according to actual training days."

At the end of August.

The temperature hadn’t cooled down yet.

"..."

In an instant.

The students in the car were speechless. Having money really allows Tang Qing to ’do as they please’, a daily thirty-yuan subsidy, resulting in six hundred yuan over twenty days, nearly a month’s living expenses for them.

Really reluctant to give up.

At this moment.

They felt that they could earn their living expenses for the next four years from the school, and still gain a set of skills, because it was said that daily running, exercise, and good performance could earn rewards from the school.

No shortage of money.
