Lǐ Yìfēi's life was fulfilling and disciplined. Time slipped away quietly between books and the gym. Immersed daily in the ocean of knowledge while also adhering to high-intensity physical training, he made every day meaningful.
Especially in physical training, he displayed astonishing talent and perseverance. A 5-kilometer run was effortless for him, finishing with barely a bead of sweat on his forehead. This not only prepared him for the upcoming university military training but also built his robust physique.
Thanks to his consistently good lifestyle habits and attention to his eyesight, Lǐ Yìfēi's vision has remained excellent, free from the troubles of myopia. He stands 185 centimeters tall and maintains a weight of around 75 kilograms, with a well-proportioned and upright figure.
His angular face, paired with determined eyes, exuded an innate masculine aura. Extensive reading, on the other hand, bestowed upon him a unique scholarly elegance. These two seemingly contradictory qualities blended perfectly within him, forming a distinctive personal charm.
As August 31st approached, Lǐ Yìfēi felt a sense of anticipation, for this was the important day his stock investment plan would conclude. Months prior, he had meticulously laid his strategy, and now the harvest was near.
As soon as the stock market opened at 9:30, he began systematically selling his stocks. Although his professional analysis indicated potential for further rise that day, he decisively executed his plan to avoid risks. The entire trading process lasted most of the day, ultimately netting over 500 million yuan, far exceeding expectations.
This successful investment made him deeply realize the importance of fund management. He decided to diversify his investments in the future, avoiding concentrating all his capital in a single stock.
After cashing out, Lǐ Yìfēi quickly formulated a new investment strategy. He decisively allocated 200 million yuan to purchase stocks in Moutai and Tencent, intending to hold them long-term, anticipating substantial returns when these stocks surged in the future.
The remaining 300 million yuan was invested in stocks that had shown a strong upward trend recently and were projected to require no adjustments within two months. With his accurate judgment and sound investment planning, he estimated his assets could grow to 800 million yuan by November.
Looking further ahead, he had already noted the potential for a significant global stock market downturn next year. He planned to achieve a massive leap in wealth by shorting US stocks at that time, targeting a net worth of tens of billions.
September 1, 2007, was another significant day in Lǐ Yìfēi's life. Clutching his admission letter, he arrived at the school to complete his enrollment procedures.
Due to his decision to major in Economics and take multiple elective courses, his homeroom teacher, Teacher Wang, personally escorted him to the office of the Economics professor, Lù Guócái.
Professor Lù had previously been informed by the school about this exceptional student and was filled with curiosity, eagerly anticipating their meeting.
During their first encounter, Lǐ Yìfēi politely and confidently introduced himself to Professor Lù: "Hello, Professor Lù. I am Lǐ Yìfēi, 17 years old, from Ānyīn City, Jiāng Province."
Professor Lù looked at the tall and dignified Lǐ Yìfēi before him. Both his outstanding height and his steady, poised demeanor left a profound first impression.
Professor Lù then curiously asked, "Hello there, student Yìfēi. I saw your Gaokao scores; they were excellent in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry. Why did you choose to study Economics instead of a science major?"
Lǐ Yìfēi thought carefully before answering clearly and logically: "Professor Lù, I believe that in today's society, economics is the core force driving social development. In the fierce international competition of the future, the level of economic development will directly determine the development trends across all industries. Mastering economic knowledge is crucial for understanding and grasping the trends of social development."
Lǐ Yìfēi's response astonished Professor Lù. For someone so young to possess such profound insights and a broad vision was remarkable. Professor Lù inquired further, "Student Yìfēi, have you perhaps studied Economics-related knowledge in advance?"
Lǐ Yìfēi honestly replied, "Professor, I have practically completed the undergraduate Economics curriculum and am currently studying several world economic texts."
To verify Lǐ Yìfēi's actual capabilities, Professor Lù presented four exam papers he had prepared, covering key knowledge points across all important areas of undergraduate Economics, and asked him to answer them on the spot.
Lǐ Yìfēi calmly accepted the papers and became fully engrossed in answering them. An hour and a half later, he handed the completed papers to Professor Lù. After meticulously reviewing them, Professor Lù was shocked to discover that Lǐ Yìfēi not only had a thorough grasp of all undergraduate material but also possessed a deep understanding of some graduate-level content, with his knowledge reserve entirely reaching the standard of a graduate student.
Professor Lù, after composing himself, said solemnly to Lǐ Yìfēi, "Yìfēi, you can directly take the undergraduate and graduate final examinations next June. There's no need to waste time in the undergraduate and graduate programs. While you have the time now, focus on writing your undergraduate and graduate theses. I will coordinate the other procedures with the school."
Lǐ Yìfēi replied gratefully, "Alright, Teacher Lù. I will bring my completed theses to you for review as soon as possible."
After bidding farewell to Professor Lù, Teacher Wang led Lǐ Yìfēi to visit Professor Zōng Yǐn of the Law Department and Professor Xià Yèyú of the School of Medicine.
In the field of law, Lǐ Yìfēi's solid knowledge base and unique insights also earned him Professor Zōng Yǐn's recognition, granting him permission to pursue a combined Bachelor's and Master's degree and prepare his thesis ahead of time for graduation next year.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, despite the demanding practical skills required, Lǐ Yìfēi’s proficient skills in acupuncture and pharmacology, along with his experience studying under seasoned TCM practitioners, greatly impressed Professor Xià Yèyú. Ultimately, he also agreed to allow Lǐ Yìfēi to graduate from both programs simultaneously next year.
Within a single day, Lǐ Yìfēi passed assessments by three professors, successfully opening the fast track for advanced studies across multiple disciplines. However, he was not content with this.
Considering the significant events anticipated next year, he decided to additionally enroll in Physics and Geology. He approached Teacher Wang again, and with his assistance, Lǐ Yìfēi successfully met with the professors of these departments. His abilities allowed him to obtain the opportunity to study under them. Although he did not immediately secure permission for direct graduation exams like with the first three professors, Lǐ Yìfēi was not disappointed; he only needed the qualification to learn.
After a busy day concluded, night fell. Lǐ Yìfēi went to the Economics Department to find his counselor, Zhāng Qiáng. Zhāng Qiáng had already learned of Lǐ Yìfēi's unusual circumstances from Professor Lù. He knew that Lǐ Yìfēi was currently just in a transitional phase within the Economics Department, primarily participating in military training. After the training concluded, he would fully immerse himself in multidisciplinary academic research as arranged by Professor Lù.
Standing at a new starting point, Lǐ Yìfēi was full of confidence for the future. Although facing the immense challenge of writing multiple theses and engaging in interdisciplinary study and research, with his intelligence, perseverance, and thirst for knowledge, Lǐ Yìfēi believed that with all these hard capabilities, his future path would become increasingly long and wide.
On his journey of pursuing his dreams, Lǐ Yìfēi pressed forward with firm steps towards higher goals, and history would surely bear his mark.
