Chapter 248 Promise
a few days later.
The entertainment industry, which was originally embroiled in various gossips about cheating and breakups, was suddenly silenced by two unexpected official announcements on Weibo!
[Yang Mi, an actress with Haofeng Film & Television: Learning has no end, a fresh start. I am honored to be admitted to the Guanghua School of Management at Tsinghua University and Peking University, where I will soon begin my MBA journey!]
Less than ten minutes later, another Weibo post followed.
[Haofeng Film & Television actor @LiuYifei: The path to knowledge is arduous; cultivate yourself. See you at the School of Economics and Management, Tsinghua and Peking Universities in September.]
These two Weibo posts, accompanied by admission notices from Tsinghua and Peking Universities, almost crashed the entire Haofeng Weibo server due to the overwhelming number of netizens!
The top three trending topics were reshuffled in an instant!
#YangMi and Liu Yifei take the postgraduate entrance exam for Tsinghua and Peking Universities#
#Chinese entertainment actresses get entangled in academia#
#TsinghuaPekingMBA#
The entire internet was stunned!
"Holy crap?! Did I see that right? These two top-tier female celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry are giving up huge sums of money to study at Tsinghua and Peking Universities?!"
"Wait, weren't they both art students at Beijing Film Academy for their undergraduate degrees? To switch to Tsinghua or Peking University for MBAs—that's a huge leap! Are they trying to become female CEOs?"
"The most outrageous thing is that these two are rivals for the top spot at Haofeng Film and Television! It's one thing to openly and covertly compete for resources, but how come they even chose the same top university in the country and the same major for further studies?! This is practically extending the cutthroat competition of the entertainment industry into academia?!"
Various marketing accounts and media outlets have jumped in to analyze the situation, with some saying that Haofeng Group wanted to improve the commercial skills of its artists, while others said that the two actresses wanted to shed their "pretty face" label.
But no matter how much outsiders speculate, they cannot touch the cruel truth behind this absurd academic competition.
……
Inside the twelve-story king building of Zijin Mountain Manor in Jinling.
Looking at the trending topics on his tablet, Liu Yifei's usually aloof face now revealed an undisguised sense of bewilderment and excitement.
Even though several days have passed, she still feels like she's dreaming!
Recalling that night, the words Li Feng casually uttered in bed still make her heart pound.
"The future boss's wife of Haofeng Group, a matriarch with a net worth of hundreds of billions, cannot have an unimpressive art diploma from Beijing Film Academy."
"A master's degree from Tsinghua or Peking University, plus a doctorate from the University of Hong Kong. Whoever gets both degrees first will be Mrs. Li in the future."
A marriage promise!!
When Liu Yifei heard those words, he felt as if his soul had been pierced!
For so many years! In this gilded cage, although they lived in luxury and even had children, they were still playthings that never saw the light of day.
And now, that usually cold-hearted man has actually relinquished his position as the legal wife!
She is the rightful mistress of a multi-billion dollar empire! A crown that could drive any woman mad!
In fact, Liu Yifei was well aware that this might just be the boss using an almost impossible academic task to amuse them.
But so what?!
Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, for her own sake and for her son Li Maozhen to have a legitimate status as the eldest son in the future, she'll do anything to get those two certificates!
"Master's degree from Tsinghua or Peking University..."
Looking at the mountain of postgraduate entrance exam review materials on the table, Liu Yifei felt a headache coming on.
She ultimately chose business administration for a simple reason: it's the only major in China's top universities that can slightly lower the academic exam threshold through corporate recommendations and large-scale sponsorships.
Anyway, the boss has no shortage of money. With a recommendation letter from Haofeng Group and the building he donated to Tsinghua and Peking Universities, he can still get an MBA interview spot and special channels.
Even so, the subsequent credits, dissertations, and the even more daunting PhD from the University of Hong Kong remain an insurmountable mountain!
"That vixen Yang Mi, she really did choose business administration."
Looking at Yang Mi's official announcement on Weibo, a hint of apprehension flashed in Liu Yifei's eyes.
What's bothering her most right now isn't how to get to class, but that she's genuinely afraid she can't keep up with Yang Mi's studies!
Yang Mi is well-known in the entertainment industry for her academic excellence.
"However, there's no need to be too pessimistic."
Liu Yifei silently encouraged himself, "I grew up in the United States, so my English is better than hers! Besides, many academic papers require consulting foreign language literature, so I definitely have an advantage in this area!"
"Besides, I still have Maozhen!"
Liu Yifei turned to look at her son, who was playing with toys on the carpet, her eyes hardening: "For you, Mom has to get you that master's degree from Tsinghua or Peking University, no matter what!"
……
Meanwhile, in another luxury penthouse not far away.
Yang Mi was holding her nearly one-year-old daughter, Li Yuxin, in front of a huge floor-length mirror, her fox-like eyes burning with unprecedented ambition!
"My dear daughter, just you wait and see!"
Yang Mi kissed her daughter's tender cheek, her voice trembling slightly with excitement:
"Mom is going to build you a huge fortune soon!"
Unlike Liu Yifei's anxiety, when Yang Mi received the betting agreement, her first reaction was ecstasy and excitement at turning the tide in a desperate situation!
Acting career? One of the Four Little Actresses? Weibo Queen?
Screw the entertainment industry!
Compared to the title of "Mrs. Li," vanity and online traffic are nothing!
As long as I can get that marriage certificate, as long as I can become the rightful boss's wife of Haofeng Group.
Not only will Yang Mi be able to wash away the humiliation she suffered, but it's only a matter of time before she makes it into the top ten of the Forbes list of richest women.
That was a true leap across social classes! That was the supreme power that allowed her to trample the entire Chinese entertainment industry under her feet!
"Liu Yifei actually dared to take on this project?"
Yang Mi handed her daughter to the nanny, walked to the desk, looked at the thick stack of past postgraduate entrance exam questions, and let out a disdainful sneer.
In the entertainment industry, where beauty and resources are equally important, she might still be somewhat wary of Liu Yifei.
But what if we're comparing problem-solving skills and exam performance?!
"What an overestimation of their abilities!"
Yang Mi sneered repeatedly, her face full of arrogance.
"I scored 580 points on my college entrance exam! I got into the Beijing Film Academy with the highest score in academic subjects, all through sheer merit!"
"How many points did Liu Yifei get on her college entrance exam? 420?! And she got in through some special channel for Chinese Americans!"
"A student who only scored a little over 400 on the college entrance exam dares to argue with me, a test-taker with a score of 580?!"
Yang Mi opened a thick book of "Principles of Management," picked up a pen, and her eyes revealed a ruthless and murderous intent.
"Liu Yifei, I'll give you a break when it comes to acting."
"But when it comes to taking exams, I'll absolutely crush you!"
