"I'm not sure! It'd be best if I got into Shenzhen University! If I don't, then I'll just have to go to another university. I'm sure I can get into one; I just don't know which one it'll be," Fu Shasha said confidently.
"Do you really want to go to Shenzhen University?" Yi Anguo asked after a moment of thought.
"Of course! Shenzhen is a special economic zone, the most prosperous and economically powerful first-tier city in the country. Who wouldn't want to go there?" Fu Shasha said. "Otherwise, why would Shenzhen University have such high admission scores when it's neither a 985 nor a 211 university?"
"It's a municipal university under Shenzhen City's jurisdiction. The annual educational funding it receives is on par with any 985 or 211 university, and its educational resources and faculty are excellent as well."
"They don't even need central government funding; Shenzhen City provides more than enough. Because so many people apply, the admission scores are comparable to those of Peking and Tsinghua Universities."
It seemed Fu Shasha knew a lot about Shenzhen University. Her desire to study there was indeed serious and not just a whim.
"Shan Shan is currently studying at Shenzhen University. You can ask her for more information about the school," Yi Anguo said with a smile, pointing at Li Shanshan.
"Fu Shasha, Shenzhen University welcomes you!" Li Shanshan said with a smile.
"I still don't know if Shenzhen University will even accept me," Fu Shasha said with a self-deprecating smile.
Although her top choice was Shenzhen University, she didn't actually have much confidence in herself.
"Your uncle knows you want to go to Shenzhen University. He'll help you, so don't worry," Li Shanshan said with a smile.
"My uncle? Even if he has some money, he doesn't have the kind of pull to help with this, does he?" Fu Shasha said doubtfully.
"Your uncle knows some people. Maybe there are other ways," Li Shanshan said confidently.
After all, in her heart, Yi Anguo was a good man who could do anything. She had complete faith that if he wanted his niece to study at Shenzhen University, he would absolutely make it happen. This must be what it feels like to be a fangirl! No reason was needed, just the unwavering belief that he could do anything.
Yi Anguo took this matter to heart. He didn't have a good solution himself, but he did know a few influential people. The question was, who should he ask for help? There were certainly people who could assist, but favors are the hardest things to repay. Deciding whom to ask required careful consideration. After thinking it over, he decided to ask Zhuo Weidong. The man used to work within the system, so even if he couldn't help directly, he would know who to turn to.
Yi Anguo went outside and called Zhuo Weidong on his phone. The call was answered quickly.
"Brother Yi! I heard you went back to your hometown. How do you have time to call me?"
"Big Brother Zhuo! I have a small matter I was hoping you could help me with," Yi Anguo said cheerfully.
"What do you need help with? We're brothers, so just say the word. As long as it's something I can do, I'll help, no questions asked," Zhuo Weidong said heartily.
"It's like this. My older sister's daughter—my niece—applied to Shenzhen University after her college entrance exams this year. From the looks of it, her chances aren't great. I'm her uncle, so I have to help, right?" Yi Anguo explained.
"That sort of thing is normally pretty difficult. But Brother Yi, you've got some amazing luck! If you want to handle it now, it's actually become very easy," Zhuo Weidong couldn't help but laugh happily.
"What do you mean? Why is something that was difficult before now easy?" Yi Anguo asked, not quite understanding.
"Do you know who I'm having dinner and drinks with right now?" Zhuo Weidong teased.
"Big Brother Zhuo, you have friends all over the world. How would I know who you're drinking with?" Yi Anguo said, showing no interest in guessing.
"And that's why I said you're lucky! You're simply my good luck charm!" Zhuo Weidong was clearly in high spirits.
As it turned out, a friend had just invited him to dinner to introduce him to someone: the head of admissions for Shenzhen University. Coincidentally, this man's colleague had recently bought a four-bedroom home with a living and dining room in Blue Coast, Phase Three.
This official had been invited over to his colleague's new home and was incredibly impressed and envious. He was particularly taken with the landscaping in Blue Coast, Phase Three; he thought the gardens were gorgeous and the community felt very spacious.
So, this man also wanted to buy a large unit in Blue Coast, Phase Three, thinking it would be a nice place to live after retirement.
However, the homes in Blue Coast, Phase Three, were in such high demand that you couldn't just buy one if you wanted to. It was nearly impossible to get one even if you offered to pay a premium.
Right now, housing prices were constantly rising, especially for large, luxurious properties like these. Consequently, no owners were putting their units on the market.
So, through an introduction, he managed to contact the developer of Blue Coast, figuring they might still have a few units on hand.
But in reality, there weren't any left. They had held a few back initially, but those had long since been sold.
Of course, Zhuo Weidong knew that Yi Anguo had over five hundred units in Blue Coast, Phase Three, most of which were large.
