Pu Sangzhi was a woman Huo Feng had tirelessly pursued for three years before finally winning her over.
Moreover, over these three years, the effort he put into chasing after her didn't compare to the effort he put into paying the "price of admission to Tsinghua"!
Tsinghua is so difficult to get into, and he tried so hard.
Over those 3 years, he tried every method imaginable...
He participated in competitions, applied for independent recruitment, joined the leadership plan—tried several shortcuts...
He didn't succeed in any competition, didn't meet the conditions for independent recruitment, and although he made it to the end of the leadership plan, the interviewer's expression left Huo Feng with a sense of foreboding.
In the end, Huo Feng obediently went through the official channel, striving to pass the exam on his own merits...
The requirements for taking the exam without any special privileges were quite high.
One had to reach Tsinghua's admission score line.
