Beijing University was one of the most prestigious institutions in the country and even in the world before the apocalypse broke out and society collapsed. Therefore, it was natural to assume that most of the students who could access it were elites, people with high intelligence and analytical abilities.
A high school student with average grades would never be able to pass the Beijing University admission exam considering the high standard of the school.
Of course, there were always exceptions and there was nothing that money or power could not solve. But that aside, only the best in their towns, villages, cities, sub-districts, and districts could actually pass the admission exam.
Bai Zemin naturally was one of those people. However, things were a bit complicated. Since his family was relatively poor and in order to allow his younger sister Meng Qi to apply to a good university, he had to spend a lot of time working to pay for his own expenses.
