"Yes, I am Yi Feng. May I ask who you are?" Yi Feng looked at him up and down with a puzzled expression.
The man in the suit appeared well-mannered and cultured, not looking bad at all.
"Hello, Student Yi!"
"Let me introduce myself, I am the head of the Guangdong admissions office for Stanford University, my name is Song, Song Wenbin."
Song Wenbin happily shook hands with Yi Feng, his eyes full of warm smiles.
"Stanford University?!" Meng Xiaoyun exclaimed in shock, her eyes wide open, covering her mouth.
Because this is a world top ten prestigious university!
Why would they suddenly visit?
Yi Qiaoxiu and her son were also stunned.
"Mom, there's no need to say, this person must be a scammer!" Luo Shanshui declared confidently.
Stanford is a top university, what relation could it possibly have with Yi Feng's family?
Hearing this, Song Wenbin's face became a bit awkward, and he quickly explained: "No no, I really am an admissions officer from Stanford University. I came here today mainly to offer Student Yi a special admission to Stanford University!"
"Keep bragging, special admission to Stanford? Why would my cousin be specially admitted? Because he's among the top ten in the national college entrance exam?" Luo Shanshui scoffed, feeling like he heard a joke.
"Younger brother, I think he's definitely a scammer, just here to scam money!" Yi Qiaoxiu nodded in agreement.
Yi Jianguo scratched his head, how could he not think that this middle-aged man in a suit looked reliable.
Song Wenbin became anxious and took out a business card and an admission letter from his pocket.
"I'm really not a scammer! Look, this is my business card and this recruitment brochure."
"I came because Student Yi is this year's top scorer in the Guangdong college entrance exam! He scored 721 points!" Song Wenbin wiped the sweat from his forehead, hurriedly explaining.
"What?! A college entrance exam score of 721 points?" Meng Xiaoyun exclaimed.
"721 points?!"
Everyone present, except Yi Feng, was stunned.
Yi Jianbing was so shocked that his mouth hung open as if he could swallow a fist.
"You, what did you say? How many points? How many points did my Little Feng score?" Yi Jianbing grabbed Song Wenbin's shoulder excitedly, shaking him wildly.
"Cough cough, Mr. Yi, yes, 721 points, that's correct." Song Wenbin, nearly vomited, hurriedly responded.
"Ah! 721 points!" Yi Jianbing released him, grabbing his hair, looking at Yi Feng in disbelief.
He never imagined Yi Feng could score so high, it was too unexpected.
Gu Muxi was also dumbfounded at this moment.
She suddenly covered her mouth, fearing she would exclaim in excitement.
My goodness! 721 points!
Stinky Feng actually scored so high?
And he's even the top scorer in Guangdong, that's too awesome!
Yi Qiaoxiu and her son were dumbfounded.
"721 points? Top scorer in Guangdong? How is that possible? You, you must be mistaken?" Yi Qiaoxiu asked in astonishment.
Song Wenbin opened the admission letter, saying, "No mistake, it's this address, Guangxi No.3 Rolling Mill Workers' Quarters, Building 3, Unit 1, Student Yi Feng, we won't make a mistake!"
The crowd gathered around to see, and it really was this address.
Luo Shanshui suddenly raised an eyebrow, questioning, "That's not right, this must also be fake, how did you know the score so quickly?"
"Hehe, my cousin hasn't even received a notice from the school yet, how did you know in advance?"
Song Wenbin chuckled, explaining, "Actually, I knew yesterday afternoon, the day the scores were released in Guangdong province, so in Guangxi City…. Actually… for top universities like ours, we have our ways."
"Son, can you really score like this?" Meng Xiaoyun turned her head to look at Yi Feng, seeking confirmation from him.
Yi Feng shrugged, smiling, "It's not far off from my own estimate, this score… is within expectations."
Hearing this, everyone present looked at him in astonishment.
Within… expectations?
Is this something a human says?
"Hahaha! Son, you're really accomplished!" Meng Xiaoyun chose to believe Yi Feng unconditionally, excitedly embracing him, her eyes reddening, tears shimmering.
In that moment, she felt all her hardships were worth it!
"Knock knock knock—"
Just then, there was a rapid knock at the door.
"Who is it?" Gu Muxi hurried over to open the door.
"Er! Homeroom teacher, Teacher Zhao!"
"Ah! Principal Su?"
Gu Muxi, seeing the visitors, was momentarily stunned.
"Gu Muxi, is Yi Feng at home? Is he?" Zhao Xue asked hurriedly.
"He is, teacher, please come in." Gu Muxi said dazedly, making way.
Zhao Xue and Principal Su rushed into the house, seeing Yi Feng, their faces full of excitement.
Zhao Xue ran over, grabbing Yi Feng's hand, saying, "Yi Feng, congratulations! Congratulations!"
"Yi Feng, your score is out!"
"721 points, the highest in Guangxi City and Guangdong province, you are this year's top college entrance exam scorer!"
"The teacher is proud of you, proud!"
Principal Su also approached Yi Feng, beaming, "Student Yi Feng, you've brought glory to our school!"
"For this, I, on behalf of the school, award you twenty thousand yuan as a reward!"
"You are the pride of Taoyuan No.1 Middle School!"
Yi Jianbing was astonished, "What? Twenty thousand?!"
That's a huge sum!
Enough for Yi Feng's university tuition fees!
Song Wenbin straightened his clothes, seriously saying, "See, I told you, Student Yi really is the top scorer in Guangdong!"
"Student Yi, I now formally invite you on behalf of Stanford University to study at Stanford!"
"We can waive all tuition fees for your entire period of study, and provide a yearly scholarship of fifty thousand US dollars to cover all your daily expenses."
"And, we promise to provide you with the best research environment and resources!"
Everyone present, except Yi Feng, was amazed.
These conditions were too good!
Not only tuition-free, but also a yearly scholarship of fifty thousand US dollars!
And the best research resources!
For any student, this is the biggest temptation!
Yi Qiaoxiu was dumbfounded.
She hadn't expected this to be true!
Yi Feng really was the top scorer in the Guangdong college entrance exam, and now he even received a special invitation from a top foreign institution!
She felt like a clown…
"Cough cough, Little Feng, congratulations, congratulations." She smiled awkwardly, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.
Luo Shanshui's face looked ugly, his sense of superiority shattered, feeling envious and resentful towards Yi Feng.
Gu Muxi was genuinely happy for Yi Feng, being able to study at a world top ten university, something many people dream of.
But her heart ached sharply.
Because if Yi Feng agreed to study at Stanford, then he might have to go far abroad…
Perhaps not returning for a long, long time…
"Stinky Feng… con, congratulations." Gu Muxi forced a smile, her eyes hiding an unmistakable loss.
"So, what do you say, Student Yi? Our school is one of the top institutions in the world, with the best resources. I believe you will enjoy studying and living there." Song Wenbin eagerly looked at Yi Feng.
For a moment, all eyes were on Yi Feng, waiting for his response.

Yi Feng's expression was calm, with a slight smile.
"Thank you for the kindness of your school, but… studying abroad is not my ambition."
"So… I'm sorry, I don't want to go to Stanford University."
As soon as Yi Feng said this, there was a stir among the people present.
Zhao Xue grabbed his hair fiercely with both hands.
What was Yi Feng doing?
He actually refused the offer from one of the top universities in the world?!
Oh my! He missed a great opportunity!
Studying abroad at Stanford University and having a bit of ability would mean returning to the country as an elite of the upper echelons of society, a high-caliber talent, coveted by many companies and enterprises!
He was anxious inside, but couldn't say anything, only feeling regret.
Yi Qiaoxiu and a few others were astonished.
They didn't understand why Yi Feng would directly refuse.
It was unbelievable!
On the contrary, Gu Muxi's eyes smiled like crescents, her previous gloom swept away.
Stinky Feng… you really refused, you can't go back on your word, huh!
Song Wenbin asked anxiously, "Why? Student Yi, this is a great opportunity, why do you refuse?"
Yi Feng looked towards his parents, smiling, "We have an old saying, 'When parents are alive, one should not travel far, and if one must, there should be a just cause.'"
"Going abroad, for me, is still too far."
"And my parents are getting older, and their health isn't very good."
"Life is only a few decades long, in the remaining time, I just want to stay by my parents' side."
He didn't want to have regrets once again.
He didn't yearn for wealth or status, only wishing for his parents' health and happiness, living carefree and joyously.
That would be enough.
Just that.
Yi Feng's words moved everyone present.
Especially Meng Xiaoyun and Yi Jianbing, who both showed relieved smiles on their faces.
Meng Xiaoyun touched Yi Feng's head, indulgently saying, "Son, you don't need to consider us, we will take care of ourselves. Just do what you want."
"Mom, I don't want to go abroad." Yi Feng shook his head.
"Okay, Mom respects your choice."
"Little Feng, you've grown up, you're a man now, and you should make your own decisions," Meng Xiaoyun encouraged.
Yi Brother gently hugged his mother, gratefully saying, "Thank you, Mom, I understand."
Seeing this, Song Wenbin couldn't help but feel a twinge in his nose.
Yes, with parents around, why travel far?
He secretly wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and said with a lost smile, "Since Student Yi has made his choice, then alright, I won't persuade further."
"But if Student Yi changes his mind, he can contact me directly."
Song Wenbin handed his business card to Yi Feng.
Yi Feng smiled, accepted the business card, glanced at it, and then put it in his pocket.
"Student Yi, then I'll take my leave first, hope to see you again!" Song Wenbin bowed slightly and turned to leave.
"Mr. Song, take care," Meng Xiaoyun called out.
After watching him leave, Zhao Xue sighed, "Yi Feng, by refusing Stanford University, you might have missed the biggest opportunity of your life!"
"The future is uncertain, teacher, are you so sure?" Yi Feng asked with a smile.
Zhao Xue was momentarily speechless, smiled, and said, "Alright, maybe I'm overthinking, indeed, who can be sure about tomorrow."
As they were speaking, suddenly, a flurry of footsteps came from the staircase, and not just one person's footsteps, but many.
A middle-aged man ran up the stairs first, entered the room, and immediately introduced himself.
"Is this Student Yi's home?"
"I am Teacher Li from the admissions office of Tsinghua University!"
"Congratulations to Student Yi for becoming the top scorer in Guangdong province's college entrance examination, we would like to…"
He was interrupted by a slightly overweight middle-aged man who hurriedly cut in.
"Hello Student Yi, I'm a teacher from the admissions office of Peking University, my surname is Zeng!"
"I am from Shanghai University…"
"I'm Teacher Chen from Guangxi University!"
One after another, admissions officers rushed into the house, almost breaking the doorstep of Yi Feng's home.
Principal Su and Zhao Xue watched all this with smiles.
While Meng Xiaoyun was dumbfounded, not knowing how to greet them…
The faces of Yi Qiaoxiu and her son were as ugly as if they had eaten something disgusting.
These were all well-known universities in the country, including 985, 211, and double first-class universities.
Tsinghua University and Peking University are top-notch famous institutions that many students dream of attending.
But these universities only have a few slots in each province every year, many people fight tooth and nail for them.
Now, these prestigious school teachers were fighting to recruit Yi Feng.
This shows how impressive the title of top scorer in Guang province is.
Yi Feng gave a wry smile, raised his hand to press down, "Dear teachers, no rush, let's sit down and talk slowly?"
"Sure, I was thinking the same!" Teacher Zeng from Peking University hurriedly laughed and took the prime spot on the sofa.
Yi Feng and Gu Muxi served tea and water to the teachers, making sure they were well accommodated.
Then sat down to talk with them.
Although Yi Feng already had a target school in mind, it didn't stop him from taking this opportunity to connect with these universities.
These were all prestigious schools, and building even a slight relationship with these teachers, even just an acquaintance, would make it easier to speak with them in the future.
This is the invisible network of connections, which Yi Feng would not miss.
In the conversation, Yi Feng controlled the whole scene, occasionally asking about some schools, making sure to attend to those with weaker backgrounds, making those teachers feel comfortable and respected.
These schools offered Yi Feng extremely generous conditions, waiving tuition and fees, and all offered a significant scholarship, some even guaranteeing a smooth path to direct doctoral studies after graduation.
These highly tempting conditions made Meng Xiaoyun very tempted, almost ready to agree immediately, at least considering between Tsinghua University and Peking University.
But Yi Feng's heart was not in it, and he was not in a hurry to agree to them, continuing to discuss recruitment conditions.
After talking with these admissions officers for over two hours and sending them off one by one, Yi Feng expressed that he would consider carefully.
After everyone had left, Yi Qiaoxiu also got up to leave, mainly because she felt too embarrassed to stay any longer.
"Aunt, Uncle, won't you stay for lunch?" Meng Xiaoyun called out.
"Cough, no, maybe another day, another day," Yi Qiaoxiu laughed dryly, pulling her son away in a hurry.
After everyone had left, Meng Xiaoyun collapsed on the sofa, rubbing her head, asking, "Son, have you decided where you want to study?"
Yi Feng sneakily glanced at Gu Muxi, smiling, "Not yet, Mom, there's no rush to decide on this."
"Mom, Dad, let me handle the school application and choice of major myself, you don't need to worry so much."
Meng Xiaoyun smiled, "Okay, son, you've grown up, then you decide for yourself, I'm a bit tired, I'll go rest in the room."
Yi Jianbing helped Meng Xiaoyun back to their room, leaving only Yi Feng and Gu Muxi in the living room.
Gu Muxi sat on the sofa, hugging her knees, her jeans outlining eye-catching curves, revealing her perfect figure.
She stroked her black hair beside her ear, blinking her watery eyes, looking at Yi Feng.
"Stinky Feng, haven't you decided where to go yet?"
Yi Feng sat beside her, also staring at her, smiling, "I've decided."
"Huh? Where? Tsinghua or Peking?" Gu Muxi hurriedly asked.
Yi Feng looked at her, his eyes filled with affection, softly smiling, "Neither, it's to be with you."
