Chapter 500: The University’s Conditions

Su Yang said, “You just realized? Don’t tell me you really thought that you’re a genius?”

Chu Xia was speechless.

Then, she became really angry. ‘Even if you did help me, Couldn’t you be less direct with what you say and leave me with some dignity! Don’t you know girls are sensitive beings?’

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She even reached out to pinch Su Yang’s waist.

At that moment, a woman who looked to be in her thirties rushed toward them.

The moment she saw them, the woman said, “My goodness, what took you 2 so long? The directors are getting anxious.”

Su Yang looked at the “stranger” before him and could not react in time. He whispered into Chu Xia’s ear, “She’s…”

Chu Xia did not give up on her “revenge”. She gently pinched the tender flesh on Su Yang’s waist. Girls seemed to have a natural advantage over that ability and could use it easily without learning. Then, she said softly, “Have you become stupid from all those cla.s.ses you skived? Can’t you even remember your own form teacher?”

Then, Chu Xia pulled Su Yang’s arm off her neck and said to the form teacher, “h.e.l.lo, Director Li.”

‘A director…’

Su Yang really did not have much of an impression of that director since he had not attended many cla.s.ses in the past 2 months. Moreover, they would always contact Chu Xia if there were any problems, hence he did not interact much with the staff. With that sense, It was normal that he did not remember anyone.

However, judging from Chu Xia’s att.i.tude, the director seemed to be a good person. Hence, Su Yang nodded and greeted, “h.e.l.lo, Director Li.”

Director Li’s eyes lit up when he heard Su Yang greeting him. He smiled and said, “Nice to meet you too, Mr. Su.” She did not take the initiative to greet Su Yang. Instead, she was very polite and even sounded like she was joking. She could not help but distance herself from Su Yang.

After greeting him, she hurriedly said, “Let’s go. Dean Qin is getting impatient already.”

Since the director had already said so, Su Yang could not delay any further and could only hurry to the dean’s office with Chu Xia.

When they reached the director’s office, Director Li knocked on the door and said, “Dean Qin, Su Yang is here.”

An old but strong voice came from the office. “Come in.”

Su Yang and Chu Xia pushed the door open and entered. They realized that Dean Qin was not the only one inside. There was also a familiar teacher: Old Zhou.

Old Zhou was wearing a Chinese tunic suit and he combed his hair towards his forehead, revealing his bald head. He held a thermos in his hand and was chatting with an old man behind the desk.

The old man’s hair was white and his face was covered with the marks of vicissitudes, but his eyes were exceptionally bright like there was a lamp inside them.

‘I can tell that he’s a very healthy old man even if Sanque isn’t here. He looks to be in much better shape than Old Zhou, who had been wasted by cigarettes and alcohol.’

When he saw Su Yang and Chu Xia, Old Zhou glared at Su Yang and snorted. “It seems like you’ve become even more arrogant after you’ve built up your career. You made us wait here all morning.”

Su Yang would have felt uncomfortable if it were someone else who had said it since he would have felt that the person was flaunting their seniority, but Old Zhou was different.

That was because Su Yang was very much familiar with Old Zhou, he knew that although Old Zhou had a sharp tongue, he’s a pleasant guy to be with.

Most importantly, the old man had treated Su Yang very well. Previously, when he had heard that Su Yang was not in good health, he even gave Su Yang a genuine wild ginseng. This indirectly led to the birth of Sanque and Pool.

Su Yang smiled and ma.s.saged Old Zhou’s shoulders. “I wasn’t in the university, so I had no idea.”

Hearing Su Yang’s words, Chu Xia quickly added, “Su Yang wasn’t feeling well previously, so he always took leave.”

Dean Qin smiled and tapped the table. Then, he took out a doc.u.ment from the top of his doc.u.ments rack and said, “You’re right, Su Yang really isn’t in good health. Based on the statistics here, he has suffered 4 leg injuries in the past 2 months, 5 car accidents, 3 appendicitis, 27 flu & fever and 12 cases of diarrhea…”

Su Yang looked at Chu Xia in shock. Chu Xia cleared her throat and s.h.i.+fted her gaze away. It was obvious that those were the reasons she wrote for his leave.

Su Yang chuckled and said in embarra.s.sment, “Indeed, my health has been poor since I was young.”

Dean Qin looked at Su Yang with a kind smile on his face. He put down the doc.u.ments and gestured to the sofa. “Have a seat.”

Su Yang did not stand on ceremony and sat down. Dean Qin looked at Chu Xia and gestured for her to sit down as well, hence Chu Xia sat down obediently.

Then, Dean Qin said slowly, “I haven’t done anything else in the past few days. I just asked for all your information from your form teachers, counsellors and the Academic Affairs Office. I have to say, the university hasn’t paid much attention to you in the past 2 years.”

“If I had not seen this information, I would not have known that such an outstanding student had existed in our liberal arts faculty.”

“This is indeed a problem between the university and the campus. Therefore, on behalf of the university, I would like to apologize.”

Even though Dean Qin said that, Su Yang couldn’t just agree with him. Hence, he quickly stood up and said, “No, no, you’re over exaggerating the situation. I haven’t obtained any results yet, it’s all just some trivial achievements.”

Dean Qin smiled and nodded as he looked at Su Yang more kindly.

Everyone liked people who were humble, especially the elders. They preferred children who were humble and polite.

However, he did not believe Su Yang’s humble words at all.

‘He managed to be the pioneer of the world’s technology advancements through his trivial achievements? He managed to receive the praise of the country just because he had some trivial achievements?

‘In that case, if he becomes serious about scientific research and starts up a company, he would probably be launching rockets, satellites, and lead the entire human race to Mars…’

At that thought, Dean Qin said, “Of course, I called you here today not just to compliment you verbally but also to compensate you, have a look.”

As he said that, he took out another doc.u.ment from the doc.u.ments pile beside him.

Su Yang hurried over and received the doc.u.ment with both hands.

There weren’t many words on the doc.u.ment. It only had a few messages and the rest were explanations.

Su Yang took a quick glance and could tell that the remuneration was pretty good. There were interestless loans, award applications citywide and nationwide, government resources, etc.

Su Yang raised his head and looked at Dean Qin. “Are all of these for me?”

Dean Qin smiled and nodded.

Su Yang asked again, “Do you have any requests of me then?”

Dean Qin shook his head kindly.

Su Yang was in disbelief. “You’re giving me such a huge benefit for free?”

Dean Qin nodded again. Then, he took a sip of water from the table and explained earnestly, “Su Yang, the university isn’t a business. Our goal is to teach students, not to make profits out of them.”

“That’s why most of what we give our students is free. Even if it’s to be paid, it won’t be as much as what I’ve offered.”

Su Yang glanced at Chu Xia and asked again, “If you’re here to support me, will you be sending a teacher to help me manage my company?”

Dean Qin smiled and put down his cup. He explained, “If it were a business that another student started up, the university would a.s.sign a teacher to help with an advisory role, but he wouldn’t interfere with the company’s business, purely just to help out with some ideas. Then, when the business is on the right track, the teacher would leave to teach other students.”

When he saw that Su Yang wanted to speak, Dean Qin raised his right hand slightly. “But in your case, who do you think will be capable enough of advising you?”

After understanding what Dean Qin meant, Su Yang felt that he should accept the compliment boldly.

‘Furthermore, this old man really knows how to chat. He’s clearly hinting at something, but he keeps praising others. That’s so embarra.s.sing… Hehe.’

Then, Su Yang and Dean Qin chatted for a while more. After confirming that the old man had given him all those benefits with nothing to ask for in return, Su Yang felt relieved.

In front of Old Zhou and the staff, Dean Qin even promised Su Yang that as long as Su Yang did not fall behind in his studies and pa.s.sed his exams, he would be able to skip some of his cla.s.ses. If he was falling a little short of credits to be able to graduate, he could make up for it accordingly.

After all, Su Yang’s career was going to bring glory to the university.

When Su Yang heard that, he gave the princ.i.p.al a thumbs up in his heart. ‘Here! Here! Now this is a dean who’s truly been enlightened! He’s even able to make such a great logic of skiving cla.s.ses that no one’s able to refute him.’

Hence, from then on, Su Yang no longer had to beg Chu Xia for help. That was because he would be considered to be “skiving under orders”.

After chatting with Dean Qin, Su Yang and Chu Xia left the office with a pile of benefits.

After leaving the office, Chu Xia looked at Su Yang as if she was looking at a monster.

Su Yang touched his face and asked in confusion, “What’s wrong?”

Chu Xia said, “Did you use your superpowers on the dean? Does he actually think so highly of you?”

Su Yang shrugged. “Is that weird?”

Chu Xia said, “Of course. Our dean isn’t an ordinary person. He’s a well-known scholar in our country. He is the person in charge of the national “211” project. He’s also hosted the National Social Science Fund, the National Postdoc Science Fund, the Shanghai Social Science Planning Project, the Fudan University Research and Innovation Fund and many other national projects. Moreover, he’s also hosted many domestic and foreign academic conferences.”

“On top of that, he’s also excellent at academics. In recent years, he has published more than 30 papers in both domestic and foreign academic journals.”

“A man like him doesn’t lack honor or status, so he usually wouldn’t pay too much attention to his students and only focuses on academics. I didn’t expect that he would especially wait for you to come today. Apart from that, he even offered so many generous benefits after giving you some encouragement.”

Su Yang felt a little awkward. “Is our dean really that awesome? I had no idea…”

“As for the reason he was being so nice to me, I guess it’s because… I’m handsome.”

Just as the 2 were chatting, Old Zhou’s voice came from behind them. “Nonsense.”

The 2 turned around and saw Old Zhou walking slowly toward them with his thermos flask. He was a middle-aged man in his forties, but he looked like an old man in his 60s’.

As he walked over, he grumbled, “Let me tell you, Old Qin’s motive isn’t simple.”

Su Yang was shocked. ‘Am I really missing out on the truth about the situation? Am I being tricked?’

He asked, “Is there a problem with Dean Qin?”

Old Zhou nodded and looked at Su Yang. “Let me tell you. When I first started teaching in Shanghai, that old man was excellent at winning over people’s hearts. In fact, he managed to win the hearts of all of the teachers from my batch while we were completely strung along.”

Su Yang was speechless.

He asked curiously, “What about after he won you over? Did he use you all?”

Old Zhou looked at him with confusion. “No, he didn’t use us. After we were bought over, we thought he was a good person. After that, he would have all sorts of jobs or tasks that he might need our help with, making it impossible for us to refuse him.”

Su Yang was speechless.

‘So, he’s actually giving us benefits to increase our Affinity?

‘In that case… I like this kind of method!

‘Now that I have the dean’s a.s.surance, I’m finally free from all the “heavy” stress from having to study and can focus on my own work now.’

The next day, on Thursday, after 3 days of acc.u.mulation stocks, Little Deeny finally bought SUNDAY with 75 million yuan. Fortunately, Little Deeny’s operation was very good. Other than raising the share price by 5%, she did not make much of an impact.

At the same time, Wu Feng’s middle man finally replied, “There’s a pretty good island that’s currently up for sale.”
