Chapter 1209: Chapter 1184: The School’s Crisis

As soon as Ye Chen introduced himself, exclamations erupted in the classroom.

"Hello everyone, I’m Ye Chen, a deliveryman. I’m glad to be here learning with you." Ye Chen said naturally.

"What, a deliveryman?"

You should know that only company executives can study here; ordinary people have no qualifications to come here.

Yet somehow a deliveryman was standing here, how could everyone not be surprised?

Just now, when those women saw Ye Chen, their praises drew jealousy from the surrounding men.

Now there’s finally a chance to taunt Ye Chen, and they certainly won’t miss it.

"Delivery boy, how much do you make a month? Can you afford the tuition?"

"How can someone like you deserve to study here with us?"

"Being classmates with someone like this simply lowers my status."

These men hold high positions in their companies, so each one is arrogant, looking down on others.

Ye Chen paid no attention to these people; the more they are like this, the less capable they actually are.

Under the disdainful gazes, Ye Chen returned to his seat.

Classmates started introducing their professions.

There were Fortune 500 CEOs, vice presidents of multinational groups; in short, everyone present was quite impressive.

Only Ye Chen’s identity was a bit awkward.

But Ye Chen didn’t mind anyway.

Even if everyone here combined their assets, it might not be more than his, so Ye Chen had nothing to be down about.

The class was soon about to end.

Modu University meeting room.

Chen Lin, the president of Modu University, was full of worry, calling a meeting.

"We’ve just received the news that the lease for our West District experimental building has expired, and now Yida Group wants to take it back."

"Ah, how can this be? Currently, schools are undergoing quality evaluations, and our university’s ranking has continuously dropped. The experimental building is a key factor; once it’s taken back, we’ll be pushed out of the top ten. We can’t lose it!"

Chen Lin spoke with a difficult tone.

The other professors and deans nodded one after another.

They all understood that if they were pushed out of the top ten, they might become a second-rate school.

As an old-established institution, this is absolutely unacceptable.

"President, think of something else, or report upwards."

Chen Lin frowned: "Of course I reported it, but this is a signed contract. Yida Group is acting according to the contract, reasonably complying, and I heard they want to build a shopping mall. There’s nothing we can do."

The atmosphere in the meeting room was very tense.

Modu University is located in the city center, a prime location.

This agreement was signed over ten years ago; now it’s expired, and this area is very valuable, expecting them to give it up is simply impossible.

The key is Modu University has no money, can’t afford the asking price.

"Anyone have any ideas?"

"President, our school is already small; if the experimental building is occupied, we’ll really be knocked out of the top ten, so we must find a way to negotiate."

The vice president in charge of planning spoke with a troubled face.

Chen Lin sighed: "I want to negotiate too, but they won’t even see me, how do I negotiate?"

"This..."

Though Chen Lin is the president, Yida Group is among the top ten listed companies.

They don’t care about him, naturally giving no credence.

Even now, Chen Lin can’t even meet their vice president.

"Ah, businessmen put profit first, in such valuable land, why would they give it to us?"

Everyone wore faces full of bitterness.

A bunch of professors and deans, even though learned, are truly helpless in such matters.

After all, they’re great at research and technology, but in these issues, they’re entirely helpless.

"Without our experimental building, the school’s overall ranking will certainly drop, even affecting admissions."

Just then, the director of academic affairs suddenly had enlightenment.

"I actually have an idea."

"Our school is hosting an MBA class, perhaps these students have a way?"

Upon hearing the director’s words, Chen Lin also brightened up.

"Right, are there capable students among them?"

The director replied: "Quite a few of them are CEOs, presidents; perhaps there might be solutions."

Upon hearing the director’s words, everyone responded with a wry smile.

After all, Modu University’s development in recent years hasn’t been well, and it can’t compare to Huaqing, Wu University.

But now, there’s no other way, it’s like treating a dead horse as if it were alive.

Chen Lin didn’t have much hope for these students.

After all, they came here to study, and whether they give the university face is another issue.

"Since that’s the case, Director Li, I’ll entrust this task to you."

"Alright!" Director Li nodded.

Chen Lin said: "Find out if there are any capable students among them?"

"There’s a CEO from Tianhua Group, Zhang Kai; he arrived in a Rolls-Royce worth over ten million, seems quite impressive."

"A Rolls-Royce worth over ten million?"

Everyone gasped.

Driving a car worth over ten million suggests they have assets of several billion, right?

"Hmm, let’s contact this student well, make sure to invite him to the symposium."

Ye Chen’s class just finished, and Director Li walked in.

"Dear students, I have an announcement. You are outstanding students with successful careers, and we’ve decided to host a future symposium. You may want to register to participate; your peers are looking forward to your success stories."

Symposium?

Everyone’s eyes lit up.

Being able to speak at a university symposium is quite prestigious.

What do these successful people love most?

Of course, it’s prestige.

"Everyone, we have limited spots, only five persons can present."

Upon hearing Director Li’s words.

"Five?"

"Please send me your information, and we will screen from there."

Three days later, was the day for the symposium.

Modu University was festooned with flowers and banners.

Ye Chen drove to Modu University.

Evidently, he wasn’t part of the lecture group, as he saw the group members had already been notified by the university.

But Ye Chen didn’t care; giving presentations seemed dull to him.

As soon as Ye Chen got out of the car, Xiaoxiao came over.

Xiaoxiao was wearing the school uniform, looking very cute.

Ye Chen was also very happy to see Xiaoxiao.

Two people strolled through the campus, immediately attracting attention.

"Isn’t that the school beauty Xiaoxiao? Who’s the guy next to her?"

"That guy’s so handsome."

Wherever the two went, they caught countless schoolmates’ eyes.
