Wang Chengkun withdrew, and subsequently, about a dozen other youngsters withdrew as well, because their family living conditions were poor. Having one less person to earn work points at home and having to spend some money for university felt like a double loss, especially since they would have to come back home after graduation.
Of the more than twenty people who remained, the majority were educated youths, including Zheng Huihui.
Even though the Wanglou Brigade only had eight participants in the competition, Wang Zhengguo couldn't favor the educated youths, as he had to prioritize the interests of the Wanglou Brigade.
Choosing two out of eight candidates was quite easy, and those who would go to university were quickly determined.
One was named Lu Fei, the great-grandson of Third Grandfather Lu; the other was Wang Chengying, a descendant of the Wang family. Both youths had a high school education and wouldn't have trouble understanding university lectures.
