Chapter 607 Filling out College Applications (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The process of accessing the college application page was very smooth this time, unlike the previous experience of lag when checking scores.

Jinli immediately spotted the school she wanted to attend; it was number one in the list without her even needing to search.

Without hesitation, she clicked to enter and then came to the subcategory for college applications.

As Chen Qin and Sui Lingfang watched her series of actions, their hearts couldn't help but race.

They had already learned from Jinli which schools she was going to apply to, so they were mentally prepared.

But even now, seeing her click in so decisively, she still seems very nervous.

This is Tsinghua and Peking University!

She just entered like that, all fresh and clean?

When it came time to fill out college applications, Jinli found the relevant codes and entered them. Soon, she was taken to one of her choices and checked it.

Just as she was about to click "OK" and submit,

Sui Lingfang couldn't help but speak up: "Jinli, are you sure you want to choose this major? Why don't you take another look? There are still several days left to fill out the application!"

Chen Qin also said, "Yes, Sister Jinli, this choice is a bit unpopular, but based on past data, it seems difficult to get admitted. Some provinces only offer one admission spot."

Jinli smiled slightly, said nothing, and firmly clicked "OK".

Then another message popped up on the screen, "Accept the transfer?"

Jinli seemed to hear the breathing of the people around her, which became somewhat heavy, and everyone stared at her intently.

She even heard people swallowing.

Jinli remained silent for several seconds, lost in thought.

Before yesterday, she was actually inclined not to accept the transfer, because this major was offered not only by Tsinghua and Peking Universities, but also by several other key universities.

If you don't get into Tsinghua or Peking University as your first choice, there are still other universities to consider, so it won't be a complete waste of time.

But after spending a long time running around doing promotional activities yesterday, Jinli realized that doing more practice questions and learning a new skill or knowledge could also be a good idea.

At least it can keep her body energetic at all times.

If you can't get into your current major, choosing to accept a transfer and leaving your fate to chance is quite an interesting thing to think about.

Perhaps fate will arrange another career that is more suitable for her; who knows?

So Jinli checked the box for "accepting reassignment".

"Phew—" She could almost hear the sound of others breathing a sigh of relief.

Before Jinli could speak, Sui Lingfang said, "That's right. Although they might not be admitted to this major, no matter where they are assigned, they are still entering Tsinghua or Peking University."

Chen Qin chimed in, "Tsinghua and Peking Universities are too famous. The reputation of the schools is much greater than the college application. Once people hear that you graduated from a prestigious university, they will look at you with new respect."

Jinli didn't proceed to the next step, and jokingly asked, "Then I'll submit it?"

Sui Lingfang nodded eagerly: "Submit it, submit it quickly."

Chen Qin said softly, "If you don't want to submit, I can click submit for you."

Sui Lingfang's eyes lit up: "How about I help you submit it?"

She had already started rubbing her hands together.

Jinli smiled without saying a word, silently refusing, and quickly clicked submit.

Application submitted successfully!

Another major life event has been accomplished!
perfect!

While Jinli was filling out her college application, netizens also started discussing her and Gu Cheng online.

This time, it's not just fans anymore; the entire internet is curious about which school they'll apply to.

[Gu Cheng scored 730 points. If he hadn't gone through the general admissions process, his score would definitely have been hidden until after the application process was completed and the admission notices were issued!]
[In my province, the wait isn't this long, but it still takes at least a week.]
[So Gu Cheng is definitely going to Tsinghua or Peking University?]
[It's not that he's guaranteed to get into Tsinghua or Peking University, but with his score, it would be a waste if he didn't go to Tsinghua or Peking University!]
[It's not necessarily a waste. With his score, I believe many top-tier universities (985 and 211) would be willing to offer him generous admission conditions, such as direct admission to a master's program after undergraduate studies, or direct access to a doctoral program.]
[Does Gu Cheng even need to do scientific research? He's not limited to R&D. And in fields outside of research, wouldn't it be easy for him to just apply to any major at Tsinghua or Peking University that's somewhat related to the entertainment industry and go on to get a master's and doctorate?]

He has the added advantage of being a celebrity; who knows more about the ins and outs of the entertainment industry than him?
The online discussion about Gu Cheng can also be extended to a discussion about Jin Li.

Because both of them were entertainers and became wealthy at a young age, people had no expectations of them doing scientific research to serve their country.

To be honest, after experiencing the hustle and bustle of life, not everyone can easily let go of worldly concerns and immerse themselves in the world of scientific research, enjoying the hardships involved.

They had only heard that people who studied classified information ended up in the entertainment industry because they were too handsome or beautiful.

I have never heard of someone who has already achieved a certain status in the entertainment industry turning their attention to scientific research.

On Jinli's blog, netizens and fans were more worried about Jinli than about Gu Cheng.

[A score of 685 is a bit risky to apply to Tsinghua or Peking University. I wonder if Jinli will choose to accept a transfer to another program?]
[Probably, they should. Those are Tsinghua and Peking Universities; it would be a huge regret to not study there at least once in one's life!]
To be honest, I barely made it into a bottom-tier 985 university with my score, but I chose to be transferred to a better university because I wanted to get into a good one. As a result, I was assigned to an extremely unpopular major.

I had a very painful four years of university, and it was very difficult to find a job after graduating from this major, so I switched careers when I went for an internship.

Do you feel sorry for me after reading this? No, on the contrary! I have always felt that I made the right choice because when I went to look for a job, the first thing companies looked at was my education.

Because my university was quite prestigious, even though I didn't study a related major and lacked basic knowledge, the company still chose me for my internship, instead of hiring other students from other universities with relevant majors!

Unless you work in a highly technical field that requires specialized knowledge to understand, a good university will definitely be a plus!
[Changing careers...no big deal. I studied accounting in school, but after graduation I worked as a cashier at a hospital. I didn't need to use my accounting major at all.]
[I studied business administration in school, but after graduation I made a lot of money selling dolls!]
[This is one of the most difficult majors to switch to; I'd appreciate guidance from experienced professionals.]
[Let's slaughter pigs! A top student slaughters pigs, takes off his Kong Yiji robe (a reference to a character from a Chinese folktale), and then goes live. The viewership will be phenomenal. I've even thought of a title for you: "Top Student Goes to Slaughter Pigs, Earns Tens of Thousands a Month!" The Top Student: "I earn money through my own abilities, and I'm proud of it!"]
[Wow, are you all from UC Shocking News Department?]
As the discussion among fans intensified, Zhang Guangxian from Guangyue Media called Sui Lingfang.

He cut to the chase and asked, "Has Jinli finished submitting her college application yet?"

Sui Lingfang beamed with joy, her voice brimming with happiness, as if magpies were chirping.

"I filled it out, I just finished!"

Zhang Guang smiled and asked, "Which school did you fill in? Tsinghua or Peking University?" Before Fang Jie could answer, he continued, "Jinli's score is high enough to get into Tsinghua or Peking University. It would be a shame not to apply to them; they are the top universities in the country!"

Sui Lingfang nodded emphatically: "Yes, she filled in Tsinghua and Peking University. I watched the whole process. The application has already been submitted. I was just afraid that her hand would slip and she would fill in another school."

At this point, she asked curiously, "What about your Gu Cheng? He scored such a high score of 730. Did he also apply to Tsinghua or Peking University?"

Zhang Guang glanced at Gu Cheng, who was sitting there calmly, and casually said, "Yes, he also applied to Tsinghua and Peking University. We are all Tsinghua and Peking University students."

He thought for a moment and then asked, "Would it be convenient to know what college application your artists filled out?"

This……

Sui Lingfang hesitated for a moment. With Jinli enrolling in school, the media would make it public, so it wouldn't hurt to reveal it to close friends and family in advance.

Moreover, Zhang Guang is very tight-lipped, so she is not worried that he will leak secrets.

Sui Lingfang said two words, then added, "Don't tell anyone. This program has very limited openings, and Jinli might not be admitted. If she isn't admitted, she'll be assigned to another major."

Zhang Guang was taken aback. "This is her major? What a talent! Why would she choose this? Is Jinli really good at Chinese?"

Because neither Jinli nor Gu Cheng disclosed the specific scores for each subject to the public, and their two agents did not communicate privately, they knew that the total score was sufficient.

Sui Lingfang said proudly, "Yes, he was only 5 points away from a perfect score. He is very suitable!"

Zhang Guang shook his head and sighed: "Gu Cheng only scored 140 points in Chinese. If he could have scored just 5 more points, he could have made another step forward!"

Sui Lingfang clicked her tongue in amazement. "You've already scored 730 points, what more could you want?"

What, do you have to get perfect scores on everything to be satisfied?
Sui Lingfang said speechlessly, "Is there anything else you want to say? If you have nothing to say, I'm hanging up!"

Zhang Guang smiled and said, "Don't rush, don't rush, wait a little longer, there's something I need to discuss with you."

I've seen a lot of heated discussions online about the schools Jinli and Gu Cheng applied to, as well as their related college applications.

I was thinking, maybe our two companies should both issue a public statement to avoid us stealing the spotlight from each other, and just combine them into one.

Sui Lingfang said, "Okay, but I can only reveal the university, not the major."

Zhang Guang immediately said, "We go in and out together. Guangyue Media only revealed the university, not the major. Let the media and netizens guess for themselves."

A moment later, Zhang Guang hung up the phone, crossed his arms, and looked at Gu Cheng, who was sitting upright to the side, with a leisurely air.

He had the phone on speakerphone the entire time during the call.

"So, how's it going? Can you fill out your college applications now? Jinli chose Tsinghua and Peking Universities. If you still don't believe me, you can call her and ask her yourself."

A smile flashed across Gu Cheng's eyes as he said, "No need. I trust Brother Guang to handle things. I'll fill out my university application now."

Zhang Guang rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"You should have filled it out earlier! Why did you have to wait until Jinli filled it out before you did, and you didn't even call to ask her? I really don't understand you young people!"

Gu Cheng's eyelashes trembled slightly, but she offered no explanation.

Forget it, I can't explain it to single people anyway.

This was just a minor incident, and Jinli didn't pay much attention to it. Half an hour after she filled out her college application, Chenxi Entertainment and Guangyue Media jointly issued a statement.

The statement said that both artists applied to Tsinghua and Peking Universities, and wished them both success in their admissions and a bright future.

The statement was brief, but it revealed a great deal of information.

First, Gu Cheng and Jin Li have private contact; at least they are closely connected at work.

After the college entrance examination scores were released, the two of them teamed up for promotional activities.

Although Jin Li is more popular, Gu Cheng also receives a lot of attention due to their association. Their fans didn't argue about "who is more capable" or "who is more admirable," which are prone to causing disputes.

The traffic wasn't diverted, nor was it ridiculed by outsiders.

Second, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Jinli and Gu Cheng will become alumni.

Vitamins have a lot to say about this.

During the wonderful years of university, the two of them would meet every year. What a beautiful friendship that is!

Before going to university, Jinli and Gu Cheng had already started working together two years prior, so they were practically childhood sweethearts!

Another point is that both of them have a strong influence in the industry.

Jinli has already made a name for herself in the entertainment industry, while Gu Cheng, backed by the popular boy band March Sky, is gradually transforming his career and has secured a major endorsement deal with the Ya Jun series.

From this perspective, both of them are extremely capable, both in terms of their careers and their earning power.

Wow, they're a perfect match!

Childhood sweethearts + classmates from the same school + well-matched in social status = a match made in heaven. With all the support buffs stacked up, do these two deserve each other?

Vitamin nodded vigorously: "A perfect match, an absolute match! A match made in heaven, a destiny!!!"

After the two publicly announced the schools they applied to, netizens finally stopped insisting on knowing what majors they chose.

Because netizens know that the paparazzi will definitely reveal the answer for them in two months.

[I'm so happy! I finally feel a sense of fulfillment. I've watched Jinli's live streams for two years and seen her get better and better. It's truly wonderful!]
[I'm really looking forward to Jinli's campus life. I hope that after entering this new phase, she'll take on more acting roles and present more works. I hope her studies won't be an obstacle, but rather a driving force for her to strive forward!]
[Haha, Jinli is currently reading *Fortress Besieged*, and I feel like you guys are feeling the same way as those in the story. Jinli is taking the college entrance exam because she wants to escape the city, but you all want her to produce more works and are desperately urging her to get back into the city!]
[Good news! My parents also applied to universities and both got into 211 universities. Both my parents have high levels of education, while I only have an ordinary undergraduate degree and am now a corporate slave. It's a bit sad.]
[Family members, does anyone understand? My mom originally studied with me, but she ended up doing better than me on the exam. Now she's even condescending to lower her application to the same university as me. Can I refuse this "honor"?]
[Haha, you try to escape, she chases, you can't get away!]
Meanwhile, the parents of the fans, who were caught up in the euphoria, remained calm and rational.

They also have a dedicated fan group, which was specially created to gather people together to watch Jinli's live stream.

In the group, many older people took the college entrance examination and were admitted to universities.

Now that the application has been submitted, everyone is just waiting for the admission notice. Although it's not quite settled yet, everyone is relieved.

So these people discussed giving Jinli a surprise.
