Strongest Counterattack Chapter 364 - Weird Opening Remark

Chapter 364 Weird Opening Remark

Ever since Qin Sheng’s childhood, he had been living in the Lin family and following Uncle Lin to meet many so-called rich people and learn about their lives. The lives of the local tyrants, who had started from different ident.i.ties and got rich with different approaches, were not the same. Even the upstarts in northern Shaanxi who had made their fortunes by relying on coal mines had completely different att.i.tudes toward their lives.

Most of them had been born poor, whose misery was beyond imagination. Some of them still lived a frugal and simple life after they became rich. But the vast majority were completely unscrupulous after they became rich overnight.

Qin Sheng had once dreamed of what kind of life he would lead after he became outstanding one day. He had thought that he would still lead a low-key life. After all, he was not a high-profile person. Besides, the further he went forward step by step, the more peaceful his mood would become gradually.

However, Qin Sheng never thought that one day his life would suddenly become like this—that he would transform himself from a loser into a super-rich second-generation man in an instant. In an instant, there was a huge disparity between his previous life and his current one. Qin Sheng became a little scared all of a sudden, fearing that he would lose himself and forget his most authentic look.

Therefore, Qin Sheng had to take advantage of this period to settle down his state of mind. Only by laying a solid foundation could the future go smoothly.

The study program would last for three months. Plus, holidays and the Spring Festival would occur during the period. It was estimated that the ending of the study program would be next April.

Qin Sheng went into the study subconsciously. He was somewhat unaccustomed to the empty bookshelf. After all, he liked to deal with books. Consequently, he would go to the bookstore to buy a bunch of books tomorrow.Read more chapters at Listnovel.com

In the early morning, Qin Sheng rose very early. He had smoked a cigarette quietly in the study last night. After that, he had taken a shower and fallen sleep. Since he was not picky about beds, he fell asleep soon.

The ingredients in the kitchen had been prepared by Qin Ran in advance. The refrigerator was stuffed with various foods. Qin Sheng made some breakfast casually, including eggs, fruit, milk, and bread.

After breakfast, Qin Sheng went out to report to the SEM of Tsinghua University without driving the GLS. After all, it was so close and he could just walk over there so that he could familiarize himself with the surrounding environment as well as feel the atmosphere of Tsinghua University.

The weather in the city was extremely cold after the heavy snowfall. The northwest wind whistled on his face like a knife. However, Qin Sheng was dressed cozily and wrapped himself in a down jacket, which he had bought yesterday. He also wore a hat and a scarf, and he seemed to be living in the Arctic.

On his way from Longhu Tangning ONE to Tsinghua University, a lot of students were seen, who laughed and talked in twos and threes. After all, the top talents in China all gathered here. Qin Sheng was more interested in Wudaokou, which was not far away. After all, it was known as the center of the universe, Wudaokou. If one had a chance, one could go to the Financing Inst.i.tute in Wudaokou of Tsinghua University. Qin Sheng had heard from Lao Er before that he had been engaged in advanced studies there.

Though Qin Sheng had never visited Tsinghua University, he was not a stranger to it at all. After all, this school was prestigious. Many stories and legends had taken place here. However, it was somewhat vast. Qin Sheng somewhat regretted it that he had not driven the car here. Though he had been walking for at least half an hour, he still could not find the School of Economics and Management. No wonder his sister had left him a car.

Anyway, it was relatively early at that time, so Qin Sheng walked around slowly and casually, sensing the cultural atmosphere of this century-old college conveniently and bringing back the feeling of leading a campus life he had when he was in Fudan University previously. Four or five years had pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye. But it seemed that nothing had happened at all.

Tsinghua University’s architectural buildings were very distinctive. After all, the academy’s architectural department was well-known both at home and abroad. Of course, the environment here was flawless. There were flowers, trees, and green gra.s.s everywhere. Walking along the main road, one could see the magnificent central main building of Tsinghua University. However, Qin Sheng preferred to observe the students that he encountered along the way.

In the “German Empire, Bismarck, the Iron Prime Minister, said, “The current glory of the empire had been decided as early as a century ago.”Qin Sheng was convinced by this sentence. He could list out the example of the investment in education after the Meiji Restoration in j.a.pan and the educational environment in the United States over the past hundreds of years, and so on, to ill.u.s.trate his point of view. It seemed that speaking of those countries that became a world power of all time, they all invested heavily in education.

That was because, in the current era, talents determined everything. Only with talents could all aspects of a country develop comprehensively, especially its heavy industry and high technology, and so on, which acted as the basis of a country’s growing strength.

Therefore, G.o.d’s favored ones in front of him were all the backbone of the country’s future. Whether or not the country could stand on top of the world again would depend on their efforts in the future.

The cla.s.s officially started at 10 o’clock. Consequently, Qin Sheng rushed to find the School of Economics and Management at nine o’clock. At that moment, the students had already gotten the cla.s.ses started. Qin Sheng took out the business name card and dialed the deputy director’s number. After the call was picked up, he introduced himself. The deputy asked Qin Sheng to wait for him downstairs politely, saying he would go downstairs to pick him up immediately.

After Qin Sheng had been waiting downstairs for a few minutes, a man wearing gla.s.ses and a down jacket came down. He looked to be less than 30 years old. It was somewhat extraordinary of him to be a deputy director at Tsinghua at this age.

The man said very politely, “h.e.l.lo, are you Qin Sheng? I’m Fang Huawei, Junior Sister Xiao Ran notified me to take care of you.”

Qin Sheng also responded smilingly, “h.e.l.lo, Director Fang.”

Fang Huawei also graduated from the School of Economics and Management of Tsinghua University. However, he chose to stay after his postgraduation. Since his family had some connections in the education system, he achieved his current status step by step. Qin Ran could be counted as his junior sister. His father-in-law was a well-known economist as well as a senior professor in the School of Economics and Management. Back when Qin Ran had been a postgraduate, her mentor was exactly Fang Huawei’s father-in-law. Consequently, they communicated with each other more often.

Fang Huawei knew about the issues going on in the Qin family, more or less, especially Qin Ran’s father, who was a mystery. As a guest of Tsinghua University, he had donated a lot of money to Tsinghua University in recent years and cooperated often with the School of Economics and Management. Later on, many leaders of the School of Economics and Management went to work for the company owned by the Qin family.

However, he did not know about the relations.h.i.+p between Qin Sheng, Qin Ran, and the Qin family. Since their family name was the same, he thought that they had to be descendants of the Qin family. Otherwise, the dean would not have taken the initiative to speak up at the last moment and decide to increase the quota. Only Qin Ran’s dad was that influential.

Fang Huawei got down to the point, saying, “You don’t need to be so polite. Just call me Brother Fang. I get along with Junior Sister Xiao Ran. When she was a postgraduate, her mentor was my father-in-law.” Fang Huawei was willing to deal with the members of the Qin family. Consequently, he made the level of the relations.h.i.+p between Qin Ran and him clear so that he could be closer to Qin Sheng.

Qin Sheng chuckled and said, “Okay. I’ll call you Brother Fang.”

Fang Huawei said happily, “Hahaha, let’s go. I will take you to go through the formalities first. Let’s talk about other things on the way.”

Qin Sheng replied, “Sorry for troubling you, Brother Fang.”

Thereafter, Fang Huawei walked Qin Sheng into the main building of the School of Economics and Management. They went to the office in charge of the study program to go through the check-in procedure first. They talked with each other happily along the way. Qin Sheng also did not mind talking about the relations.h.i.+p between him with Qin Ran and confessed directly that Qin Ran was his sister. Originally, Fang Huawei had thought that Qin Ran was his cousin or something. That was because he knew that Qin Ran had no younger brothers and her father only had a sole daughter. If he were at the same age as Qin Ran, he would certainly have pursued Qin Ran without hesitation. After all, if he could be admitted as a live-in son-in-law of the Qin family, he could stand at the apex of his life.

Almost everyone had completed the formalities yesterday and went directly to cla.s.s today. Qin Sheng was the last one. The procedure was not complicated at all. Instead, it was pretty simple. Qin Sheng finished the procedure quickly. Following that, Fang Huawei led Qin Sheng to his cla.s.sroom.

At the entrance of the cla.s.sroom, Fang Huawei stopped sensibly and said, “The cla.s.sroom is right here. I won’t go in. Your cla.s.smates should have all arrived. It’s the vice dean of the college who is in charge of your cla.s.s. You can directly call me if anything comes up.”

Qin Sheng said politely, “Thank you. Brother Fang.” Following that, he asked, “I wonder if you are available at noon, Brother Fang? I would like to invite you to have lunch to show my grat.i.tude for your help as well as to ask you about some things.”

Of course, Fang Huawei would not miss this kind of opportunity. However, as an educated person, he had to act reservedly instead of playing up to those in power. Consequently, he was hesitant for a while before he said, “Well, I will have a meeting later and I don’t know when it will be over. But, since you just started the cla.s.s this morning, you should only get to know each other first. After that, you would be familiar with the lesson schedule, the instructors, and so on. Send me a message after you are done. We will make another appointment at that time.”

Qin Sheng said casually, “OK. I am obedient to your arrangement.”

Fang Huawei nodded and left with a smile.

Qin Sheng pushed the door open and walked into the cla.s.sroom. It was not an ordinary cla.s.sroom for undergraduates but a lecture theatre, which looked like a half-underground and round-roofed auditorium. The seats were scattered around, circling the middle lecture hall. There was a full piece of blackboard on the wall across the lecture hall. Projectors were suspended separately on both sides. The whole lecture hall was filled with academic charm.

At this moment, the lecture hall was packed with people, who were busy getting to know each other well. After all, they came here to be engaged in advanced studies as well as to build up their networks. It was also the same for all business schools in China today, such as the well-known China Europe Business School and the Changjiang Business School. The cla.s.smate community was a powerful force.

There was a nameplate in front of each seat, where different names were written. Qin Sheng searched for his seat randomly and found it to the side eventually. He carried his things and walked over. On the way, all the cla.s.smates whom he had encountered before greeted him politely. Qin Sheng just responded while nodding smilingly and didn’t stop to have a deep conversation with them.

After he sat down, he was about to observe the cla.s.smates whom he would stay with for three or four months. After all, they were all descendants from rich and powerful families. At this time, a guy next to him took the initiative to greet him and say, “Hey, man. Who named you so? I thought that the Qin Sheng from Shanghai Shenhua was here. If it were him, I would definitely beat him since he made me lose a lot of money.”

Such a weird opening remark made Qin Sheng feel incredulous. He didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry as he said, “Should I be thankful to you for that?”
