Yu Lei had to force Xiang Beifei to apply for a specialized college—only then could he stir up a sensation again.
He needed to control Xiang Qingde and his grandson to act in a way that conformed to his article, thereby strengthening its persuasive power and also to avoid being arrested by law enforcement for spreading rumors.
As for whether elite universities would actually make an exception to admit Xiang Beifei because of his article, he wouldn't be at a loss.
If they made an exception, that would be best. If the nine elite universities changed their system because of his article toward Xiang Beifei, everyone would remember "Yu Lei," the media person "with responsibility, attitude, and justice." His reputation would be made, his influence would grow, and he could aggressively harvest marketing traffic!
