Everyone's been reborn, so who would bother finding a wife on their own?

Chapter 238 Filling in College Applications

The phone in the living room didn't stop ringing the afternoon the scores came out.

The calls came from relatives, friends, and colleagues.

Zhang Xuejuan answered one call after another, laughing until her voice was hoarse.

Song Wentao was also sitting on the sofa when his phone rang. He answered it.

The joy on his face was impossible to hide.

One of the calls was from Gao Xiao, Song Huan's junior high school homeroom teacher, who was looking for her.

Song Huan was surprised that this ancient figure would call her. She took Song Wentao's phone and chatted politely with Gao Xiao for a few minutes.

I learned from the phone call that Gao Xiao is now the dean of students in her grade.

Gao Xiao was also deeply impressed by Song Huan and Xiao Yunqing, and specifically asked about their grades.

They were both happy to learn that they had both scored over 600 points.

She then asked where the two of them would apply for university. Song Huan didn't know Xiao Yunqing's plans, and only replied that she was going to apply to the Computer Science Department of Nanjiang University.

On the other end of the phone, Gao Xiao silently read it aloud, then said with some emotion, "Okay, teacher will remember. If you get in, you will be the first student of mine to be admitted to Nanjing University. Teacher will be proud of you."

Song Huan was also a little excited; she was the first one!

However, after inquiring further, I learned that several of Gao Xiao's previous students had been admitted to Tsinghua and Peking Universities.

Song Huan: "..."

……

Xiao Haifeng and Xu Wan stayed until after dinner before leaving.

When she left, Xu Wan held Zhang Xuejuan's hand and talked for a long time.

Xiao Yunqing followed behind, carrying a bag full of fruit that Song Huan had packed for her: apples, oranges, and grapes.

Song Huan stood at the door, looking at her.

"Bye-Bye!"

She glanced back at him and waved.

"Bye-Bye!"

The door closed.

The living room fell silent.

Song Huan leaned against the door, staring at the ceiling. After standing there for a while, she went back to her room.

……

For the next few days, Xiao Yunqing's living room was turned into a temporary meeting room.

Xu Wan brought back a stack of documents from the Education Bureau, placed them on the coffee table, and flipped through them noisily.

Xiao Haifeng sat beside him, wearing reading glasses and holding a pen, writing and drawing on a piece of paper.

"Nanjiang University's lowest admission score for the Computer Science Department last year was 655."

I wrote another number.

"Nanjiang University has 652 law students and 650 economics students..."

Xu Wan interrupted him, "Little Cloud doesn't want to learn those things."

Xiao Haifeng put down his pen and leaned back on the sofa. "So what does she want to study?"

Xiao Yunqing sat beside her, head down, her fingers tracing circles on her knees.

She didn't say anything.

The two discussed it for several days, but couldn't make a decision.

Today they say Nanjing University is good, tomorrow they say Donghai University is also good, and the day after tomorrow they say they should check out the schools in Guangzhou.

Xiao Yunqing listened without saying a word.

During dinner, Xu Wan was talking again.

"I asked around at Nanjiang University. The computer science department is their strong point, and graduates won't have trouble finding jobs, but it seems a bit risky for Xiaoyunduo to get in with her score."

"But it doesn't matter, there's Tunghai University next door. I took a look, and Xiaoyun's score is enough to get into their computer science department."

Xiao Yunqing put down her chopsticks. "Mom and Dad, I want to study at Nanjiang University. I made a promise with Song Huan."

The living room fell silent.

Xiao Haifeng put down his bowl and looked at her.

Xu Wan also stopped eating.

Xiao Haifeng was silent for a moment, then nodded. "Nanjiang University is indeed quite good; it's one of the top ten universities in the country."

Xu Wan nodded. "So, what major do you want to apply for?"

Xiao Yunqing lowered her head.

Actually, she didn't know what she liked.

In high school, her teachers only taught her how to solve problems, but not how to think about the future.

Her parents only asked her how many points she got on the test, but not what she wanted to do in the future.

Only when it's time to fill out college applications do they ask, "Choose whatever you like."

She looked up and thought for a moment.

A picture suddenly flashed through my mind.

Song Huan sat in front of the computer, a contract spread out in front of him. He said, "Little Cloud, you're suited to study e-commerce..."

She pursed her lips and said, "I want to study e-commerce."

"E-commerce?"

Xu Wan and Xiao Haifeng exchanged a glance.

This major was not popular at the time; it was considered an emerging major.

Some people have never even heard of it.

Xu Wan frowned.

"You should choose something else. E-commerce doesn't sound very reliable. You should study finance or accounting; that will make it easier to find a job later."

Xiao Yunqing remained silent.

Xiao Haifeng leaned back in his chair, looking at his daughter. "Song Huan told you, didn't she?"

Xiao Yunqing nodded. "Yes, he said I'm suited to study e-commerce."

Xiao Haifeng didn't say anything, stood up, walked to the balcony, took out his phone, and dialed a number.

Xiao Haifeng has a friend surnamed Zhou who is a teacher at a university in Nanjiang. They used to go to police academy together, but he later changed careers.

The phone rang, and I answered it.

Xiao Haifeng stood on the balcony, his voice intermittent and difficult to hear.

Xiao Yunqing sat in the living room, nervously watching Xiao Haifeng's figure.

After a while, Xiao Haifeng walked in and put his phone on the table.

Xiao Haifeng shook his head. "Nanjiang University does not have an e-commerce major."

Xiao Yunqing was stunned.

No?

Does Nanjiang University not offer this major?

That's true. In 2007, Nanjiang University didn't have an e-commerce major at all.

At the time, e-commerce was a sub-discipline under the School of Management, and it did not admit students separately. The required scores were inflated, and it was too theoretical and academic, rather than practical.

Xiao Yunqing opened her mouth, but she didn't expect things to turn out this way, so she couldn't say anything.

Xiao Haifeng sat down. "Tunghai University next door does have it. I heard from Lao Zhou that Tunghai University is one of the few engineering universities in the country that has done an extremely strong job in e-commerce. If you want to choose this major, Dad has no objection."

Xiao Yunqing pursed her lips, her expression conflicted.

Xu Wan, standing nearby, advised, "Little Yunduo, if it really doesn't work out, try changing your major. I heard from your Aunt Zhang that Song Huan has already decided on the Computer Science Department at Nanjiang University and won't apply to anything else. Why don't you apply to the same school as him? If you go to the same school, it will be easier for him to take care of you, and your father and I will feel at ease."

Xiao Yunqing lowered her head and remained silent.

Xu Wan and Xiao Haifeng exchanged a glance, unsure of what to say.

Xiao Yunqing stood up, walked back to her room, and closed the door.

She sat on the edge of the bed, took her phone out from under the pillow, found Song Huan's number, and dialed it.

The phone rang twice, then I answered it.

There was the sound of keyboards clattering on the other end, along with Zhao Qihang's howling in the voice chat.

"Hello, what's wrong?" Song Huan's voice came through the receiver.

Xiao Yunqing held her phone. "Which school did you apply to?"

"Nanjiang University, Computer Science," Song Huan said casually. "And you?"

Xiao Yunqing was silent for a while, then said, "I think I'm also from Nanjiang University."

She paused for a moment, then asked, "You said before that I was suited to study e-commerce, is that true?"

Song Huan paused for a moment on the other end, then said, "Yes, you're quite smart, and this major will be in high demand in the future. With the booming e-commerce industry, your major will become even more popular. You've definitely made the right choice by choosing it now. Plus, you can start a business with me while you're studying this major. How great is that? We'll be the twin stars of Nanjiang!"

As he spoke, he started laughing at himself.

As Xiao Yunqing listened, she also started to laugh.

"Who wants to start a business with you? You're just being presumptuous."

Song Huan laughed, "Okay, seriously, e-commerce is a good fit for you. Don't forget, you promised to be my business partner. I'm planning to make a big splash in Nanjiang, how can I do without you?"

Xiao Yunqing's lips curled up slightly. "I understand."

I hung up the phone.

She put her phone on the bed, and the smile on her face slowly faded.

She sat on the edge of the bed, looking out the window.

It was getting dark, the streetlights weren't on yet, and the house was dimly lit.

She sat for a while, then stood up and opened the door.

Xiao Haifeng and Xu Wan were still sitting in the living room. The documents on the coffee table were half-read, but no one touched them.

The two men were looking at her.

Xiao Yunqing stood at the door of the room, looking at them, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"Dad, Mom, I'm going to Tunghai University. I want to study e-commerce."

Xu Wan opened her mouth, as if to say something.

Xiao Haifeng reached out and pressed down on her arm.

He looked at Xiao Yunqing for a few seconds, then nodded.

"Okay, Dad supports you."

Xiao Yunqing smiled, walked back to her room, and closed the door.
