Chapter 103 You Know My Character
Because of Fu Yingzi's initiative in the past few days, the official WeChat account, Weibo account, and the confession wall of the International campus all posted promotional posters and copy about the entrepreneurship base.
This kind of promotion made most of the International campus students see the message.
But seeing is one thing, and taking action is another; most people still maintained an attitude of "not my business, I don't care."
Some people were not interested in entrepreneurship and just wanted to lie flat; others were quite pessimistic, feeling that the current economic environment was poor and that such entrepreneurial efforts would fail to launch and only waste time and energy.
A small group of people took it as watching a spectacle, treating the entrepreneurship base as a piece of entertainment.
Under such an atmosphere, nobody expected that a comment under the WeChat article would quietly capture the attention of International campus students.
The article was about the publicity copy for the entrepreneurship base.
A netizen named "lucky" commented below, "Nobody knows, but the entrepreneurship base is actually invested in by our school's students."
Seeing this comment, students immediately questioned it below.
"You must be joking, our school does have some rich second generation, but it's all their parents' money, how could they invest in entrepreneurship base?"
"Are you out of your mind? You think it's some small investment of tens or hundreds of thousands, but as far as I know, it needs at least a few million to start the entrepreneurship base."
"Upstairs is stupid, verified."
"Exactly, stop talking nonsense, if our school had such an incredible person, would I, Wang Youliang, not know about it?"
"The person above is using my name; he's not called Wang Youliang, he's called Hao Congzheng."
This kind of opinion not only appeared online but also sparked small discussions within the dormitories.
After Fang Minhui and Chen Ling finished their classes and returned to the dormitory, they heard their two fairy-like roommates discussing it.
"Did you see that comment? It said that the entrepreneurship base was invested in by a student."
The speaker, named Zhuk Qiaofeng, a girl from class 1, unfortunately, was assigned to share a room with Fang Minhui and Chen Ling.
It was this girl who explicitly played double standards, restricting her roommates' daily routines and behaviors, but failing to do so herself.
"That must be nonsense, how could that be possible?"
Zhuang Yueyue replied from aside.
Zhuk Qiaofeng nodded in agreement, "I think so too, the entrepreneurship base would need an investment of at least a few million; if someone could invest that much, they must have a net worth of tens of millions at least? We are all still students, how could anyone have earned so much money?"
"Exactly, there are many rumors nowadays, just listen for fun."
Chen Ling knew that Shen Yuan had spent 10 million to invest in the entrepreneurship base; hearing this made her feel like ants were crawling on her, it was too unbearable to keep it to herself, so she whispered to Fang Minhui, "I really want to tell them, what should I do?"
"Hold it in,"
Fang Minhui replied with a sentence. Shen Yuan had informed her the night before to keep it a secret, and although she didn't know why she had to do this, she had to comply.
"Sigh, I wonder what Shen Yuan is up to by doing this? Isn't it just like invisible travel? It's too uncomfortable...."
Knowing the truth yet being unable to reveal it was torturous for Chen Ling as well.
"You're lucky, hooking up with a guy like Shen Yuan."
Chen Ling said sourly.
She knew Shen Yuan was rich, especially since he had previously bought an 80,000-plus bag for Fang Minhui, but she really hadn't imagined he was so wealthy as to be able to invest 10 million; his actual net worth was unimaginable.
Moreover, she had heard that Shen Yuan was planning on buying a house for Fang Minhui, which made the disparities in life feel utterly profound.
Her best friend had taken the easy route.
Yet she was going to start working during her internship next year, toiling for a salary of a few thousand a month, which felt incredibly imbalanced.
"Minhui, can you ask if his family needs a maid or something? I don't want to try anymore."
Fang Minhui couldn't help but glance at her, "Are you talking about a proper maid?"
"Huh?"
Chen Ling was stunned for a moment and then quickly realized, "Oh, nice one, Minhui, you want me to become a mistress, huh?"
"I wish, but Shen Yuan definitely wouldn't be interested in me."
Chen Ling glanced at Fang Minhui's impressive bust, then looked down at herself, seeing straight to her toes without obstruction, the difference was too big.
Then, Chen Ling suddenly thought of something and lowered her voice, "Shen Yuan must have been elated last night, right? With you dressed like that, how could he resist?"
Fang Minhui blushed, "Ah, why bring this up."
Chen Ling murmured, "You already wore it, yet you won't let people talk about it."
"...."
The comments on the WeChat post didn't stop; within just an hour, lucky was blasted with dozens of messages.
That's how the online environment is: everyone is just typing behind a keyboard, and since nobody knows who they are, there's no responsibility for what they say.
Then, another netizen named "Lone Ranger" commented, "Don't doubt it, not only is it a student, but he also invested 10 million."
"Damn, here comes another idiot."
"Your brain is even worse than the previous guy, do you know how much 10 million is?"
"I suggest you visit a neurologist."
"He's right, actually, it was me, Wang Duoyu, who invested!"
"Didn't expect our school had so many jokers."
"Upstairs is brain-dead, verified."
"..."
Meanwhile, in another girls' dormitory in Business Administration class 2, similar discussions were also sparked.
"Yuping, did you see it? It said a student spent 10 million to invest in the entrepreneurship base."
The speaker was Kwan Yongzhen from Business Administration class 2, who brought her phone closer to Tian Yuping.
Tian Yuping replied lightly, "Oh, I saw it, but everyone is not a fool, how could they believe whatever those two rumormongers say... "
"I think so too, and after all, it's 10 million!"
Kwan Yongzhen's eyes sparkled with infatuation as she exclaimed, "To spend 10 million on investing in an entrepreneurship base, his net worth must be at least a billion, right?"
"If our school really has this kind of top-level tycoon, I wouldn't mind paying them instead!"
"What are you thinking, crazy!"
Tian Yuping couldn't help but roll her eyes, "If he really is that rich, would he even look at you?"
"Hey, Yuping, can you not be so harsh when you talk?" Kwan Yongzhen protested somewhat displeased.
"If a student really invested 10 million into the entrepreneurship base, I guess they would have jumped out by now. Not everyone can flaunt 10 million, otherwise what is he up to?"
After Tian Yuping finished, she scoffed, "Have you forgotten? That Shen Yuan from our class, who becomes arrogant the moment he has a little money, messes around with girls outside and even opened a café for a woman."
"Yes, just thinking about it makes me angry."
Kwan Yongzhen said resentfully, "What kind of person, all we did was speak a few words about him last time, did he need to go that far?"
"These kind of guys really have no tolerance, screw them!"
"..."
The same discussion about this matter took place in room 503, but the atmosphere was completely different.
"Damn it, are these people fools, they actually don't believe it?"
Huang Haibao looked at people's comments, cursing under his breath.
"If no one clarifies, who would believe it. We're talking about 10 million, not 100 thousand, not even a million."
Cao Shunjin added from the side.
"Damn, if I had known, I wouldn't have agreed to Old Third yesterday. Must be frustrating to hold it in!"
Huang Haibao now felt uncomfortable all over. Although he did not want to see Shen Yuan become prominent in school, seeing so many people doubting him, Huang Haibao felt an unbearable agony, as they were roommates after all.
He really wanted to proudly step forward and say, "This is our room's Old Third, he's the one who spent 10 million on the entrepreneurship base!"
Damn, I really want to boast for Old Third!
Tall and handsome, and so damn rich, wouldn't the girls' dormitories in the school just explode?Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Old Third is Old Third for a reason, damn, he really can endure!
...
Meanwhile, at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, Shen Yuan was completely unaware that a small-scale discussion had already erupted at school. Nonetheless, his secretary Fu Yingzi would report these matters to him proactively.
He picked up his phone and dialed Lih Xiao, the counselor.
"Hello, Counselor, what are you up to?"
"....."
"I need a favor, I want to study the key knowledge points of the 'Fundamentals of Management' course, I need your help."
"....."
"It's for freshmen, but I want to pick it up again, learn something. I remember your first major in college was Business Administration, so you were the first person I thought of."
"....."
"Counselor, I really want to seriously learn some things."
"....."
"Why don't we do it at your place?"
"....."
"You know my character, I absolutely won't mess around."
Shen Yuan sincerely guaranteed.
At that time, inside Dongsheng Neighborhood, Lih Xiao hung up the phone, somewhat dazed and unsure if this was akin to inviting the wolf into the house.
A student being eager to learn is certainly no reason for refusal, but thinking of Shen Yuan's audacity, Lih Xiao felt a trace of unease.
What if he thought of doing that again.....
During the last two moving incidents, she realized she could not stop Shen Yuan at all.
He was stronger than her, and very cunning, she found herself unable to resist....
Lih Xiao sighed softly, wondering what time her sister Lih Meng was getting off work today. If she were there, Shen Yuan probably wouldn't dare.
Lih Xiao picked up her phone again and sent a WeChat to her sister Lih Meng: "What time do you get off work today?"
"....."
After agreeing on a time with Lih Xiao, Shen Yuan got dressed and left, patting Liew Menglu's delicate cheeks as he departed, "Daddy's leaving now, be good on your own."
Liew Menglu curled up in the blanket, nodding gently, "Hmm~"
Shen Yuan arrived at the hotel entrance, where the valet had already brought the Defender to the front. He respectfully handed the car keys to Shen Yuan and then opened the driver's seat door for him.
Shen Yuan got into the car then turned on the mobile GPS, heading towards Dongsheng Neighborhood.
Cultural literacy and management skills were his shortcomings, and also essential capabilities for a tycoon.
Without this knowledge foundation, he was at best a nouveau riche who couldn't make a decent appearance.
To mix with high society and deal with those wealthy and famous figures in the future, he certainly needed this knowledge reserve.
So, Shen Yuan planned to utilize his current spare time to fully activate these areas, laying a groundwork for his future path.
While Shen Yuan thought aimlessly, he listened to Jay's playlist and unconsciously arrived at Lih Xiao's apartment building.
