Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 409 Only by remaining humble and modest can one achieve great things.
High spirits.

These four characters perfectly describe Gao Lifu today.

He was the kind of person who acted decisively and efficiently, and he had long been disgusted by the various problems on campus.

Unfortunately, the old principal was a peacemaker and chose to turn a blind eye to everything.

Gao Lifu knew very well that, given his decisive and efficient personality, even if Handong University were to have a leadership reshuffle next year, it would be difficult for him to become the university's president.

But now, he's in power.

The first thing he did after taking power was to launch three major initiatives, each targeting a critical area.

Handong University has many deep-rooted problems, such as the research institute's fraudulent acquisition of funding and the overly bloated faculty system, all of which need to be addressed one by one.

In the afternoon, Cheng Yi hurriedly arrived at the administration building of Handong University.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the administration building, Lin Shengjie, who had already received the news, was waiting at the entrance. Seeing Cheng Yi park his scooter to the side, Lin Shengjie immediately ran down the steps, laughing as he ran, "President Cheng, you're such a big boss, why are you still riding this kind of scooter?"

Cheng Yi smiled and said, "It's convenient and safe."

He put the helmet on the handlebars of the scooter and said, "Teacher Lin, you didn't come out to pick me up, did you?"

“Of course.” Lin Shengjie walked to Cheng Yi’s side and said in a low voice, “Principal Gao may not say it, but he remembers your kindness.”

"Affection? What affection? I don't know anything about it." Cheng Yi pretended to be stupid.

Hearing Cheng Yi say this, Lin Shengjie smiled even more broadly.

Everyone likes someone who doesn't constantly express gratitude. If you help someone and then keep talking about it, that gratitude will slowly turn into resentment.

"Teacher Lin, please don't come out to pick me up anymore. It's not good if people see us. Besides, I know this place better than you do." Cheng Yi laughed, "In my eyes, you're like my older brother. It's not fair for me to have my older brother pick me up."

When Lin Shengjie heard Cheng Yi call him "Big Brother," his eyes crinkled into slits with laughter.

The guy Cheng Yi called "Big Brother" has now been promoted to General Manager of Handong Provincial Construction Group.

Lin Shengjie laughed and said, "Okay, then I won't come out to pick you up anymore."

Unconsciously, the feeling between Lin Shengjie and Cheng Yi quickly grew closer.

Cheng Yi and Lin Shengjie arrived at Gao Lifu's office, which had been changed.

They moved to a much larger office, almost a two-bedroom, one-living-room unit.

When Cheng Yi went in, Gao Lifu was examining a 1.5-meter-long solid wood fish tank.

The fish tank was full of fish, swimming around and making quite a scene.

"Principal Gao," Cheng Yi greeted him as he entered.

"Cheng Yi's here, come and sit down." Gao Lifu turned around and smiled.

Lin Shengjie, with great tact, poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi smiled politely at Lin Shengjie and said to Gao Lifu, "Principal Gao, I've come here to tell you something."

"Oh? What is it?" Gao Lifu was in a good mood and said with a smile, "Just tell me."

"You know about what happened between Lin Qingyin and me, right?" Cheng Yi asked.

Gao Lifu said, "I know, you have a good eye."

Gao Lifu sat down on the sofa next to Cheng Yi and said, "But to be honest, although Lin Qingyin is a talented and beautiful girl, she is not suitable for you. You should find a woman who can stand on her own."

Lin Shengjie, standing to the side, also wholeheartedly agreed.

Cheng Yi is now a well-known entrepreneur. For entrepreneurs who want to climb the corporate ladder, it is best to find a partner who is of equal social standing and can support each other.

Even if you can't find the daughter of a high-ranking official, at the very least you should find the daughter of an entrepreneur worth billions, right?

Who can guarantee a smooth business journey? There will always be bumps and problems.

If problems arise, the only people who can truly help this entrepreneur are the women around him.

Many similar incidents have occurred in Guangdong Province. When a male entrepreneur's business ran into trouble, his father-in-law would simply throw away hundreds of millions of yuan.

An ordinary person can have a sweet romance with an ordinary girl, but once you embark on the path of entrepreneurship, you can't have any romance at all.

Gao Lifu clearly considered Cheng Yi as one of his own, otherwise he wouldn't have said such heartfelt words.

Cheng Yi smiled and said, "That's all a long way off. Besides, I might still be a non-marriage advocate."

Gao Lifu and Lin Shengjie were both stunned.

Isn't this a modern-day Chen Shimei (a notorious figure in Chinese folklore known for abandoning his wife)?

What a piece of shit.

Gao Lifu smiled, trying to hide his embarrassment. At this moment, Cheng Yi said, "Principal Gao, I think there's a problem with our university's rule that elite class members can't date. To put it bluntly, isn't that inhumane? To put it nicely, it's like putting them in a greenhouse. Can flowers in a greenhouse withstand the storms of life?"

Gao Lifu looked thoughtful, glanced at Lin Shengjie, and asked, "Shengjie, what do you think?"

“I also think there’s a problem.” Lin Shengjie said without hesitation, “If you don’t have a passionate romance during your four years of university, it’s a real pity. I dated back then, and I didn’t feel it affected my studies. Teacher Gao, you were my class teacher back then, you saw it all.”

Gao Lifu frowned and said, "Well, it didn't affect your studies, but the girl you're pursuing has seen her grades plummet."

Lin Shengjie touched his nose somewhat awkwardly and muttered, "It depends on individual willpower. Anyway, I think dating is quite a good way to train people. Boys become men after a breakup, and girls become women."

Gao Lifu glanced at Cheng Yi and said, "Let's withdraw that regulation."

"Thank you, Principal Gao." Cheng Yi quickly replied with a smile, "Then I won't disturb Principal Gao's work any longer."

"You came to see me just for such a trivial matter?" Gao Lifu was taken aback.

Cheng Yi asked doubtfully, "This is a big deal. Lin Qingyin just won an award and might become a key talent cultivated by the Computer Science Department. If that's the case, the Computer Science Department will definitely not let me and Lin Qingyin meet freely anymore. I really can't live without Lin Qingyin now."

Gao Lifu had expected Cheng Yi to make some significant requests, such as applying for a selection quota for civil servants, but he hadn't expected Cheng Yi to simply ask him to remove a trivial internal regulation. Gao Lifu nodded slowly, stood up, and said, "Alright, but you're different from ordinary college students now. You can't waste your time on dating."

Lin Shengjie quickly added, "Yes, President Cheng, now that Teacher Gao is the principal, it's a great opportunity for your school's network company to develop rapidly. You'll find that 'you can't live without me, and I can't live without you' kind of love story ridiculous in a few years."

Gao Lifu and Lin Shengjie both thought that Cheng Yi's statement about not being able to leave Lin Qingyin meant he was deeply in love. Little did they know that what Cheng Yi truly couldn't live without was Lin Qingyin's programming skills.

Lin Qingyin stayed at Handong University, where she could improve her skills step by step, but it was too slow.

True masters are never cultivated, but rather forged through countless extreme battles.

Now, the school's online network company has enough funds to support Lin Qingyin in taking the next step.

Lin Qingyin's stage should be the global IT industry, not the School of Computer Science at Handong University.

However, he had to resolve this matter before the delegation returned, otherwise the dean of the computer science department would definitely cause a scene with tears, tantrums, and threats of suicide, which was a huge headache to think about.

Cheng Yi smiled subtly and said, "I know, I will try my best to restrain myself."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Cheng Yi left Gao Lifu's office.

Gao Lifu stood there and said, "He didn't even mention any conditions to me."

Lin Shengjie laughed and said, "When I went downstairs to pick him up just now, he was quite surprised. I told him that we remembered his kindness, and he asked me what kindness we had."

"Oh?" Gao Lifu's eyes lit up, and he said, "He doesn't take credit for himself or become arrogant. This kid's future development is limitless."

“Yes,” Lin Shengjie said, “Our Handong University has really struck gold this time. As long as this kid doesn’t go astray, I think our Handong University will definitely become famous because of him.”

"I hope it's not a case of being black and red," Gao Lifu said slowly. "This kid's catchphrase is that black and red are both red. It'll be hard to keep him from going astray."

Gao Lifu quickly added, "What's the situation with your third-tier company?"

Lin Shengjie immediately perked up at the mention of third-tier companies.

Gao Lifu has never paid any attention to this Renren.com business company.

Lin Shengjie quickly replied, "The business is doing very well. We now have 1225 billiard halls and dry cleaning shops, and business is booming. It's just that the small restaurants and supermarkets are still in the application process, which is quite troublesome. Each university's small restaurants and supermarkets are connected to the vice-principal level."

"Oh," Gao Lifu said, "These 100-plus universities in Handong Province could try opening a restaurant and a supermarket first. I'll talk to them tomorrow."

"Thank you, Professor Gao." Lin Shengjie was overjoyed upon hearing this.

Gao Lifu said, "No need to thank me. After all, this is a subsidiary of our Handong University, and I should do my part."

At 5:30 p.m., Cheng Yi and Lin Yongxing arrived at Handong Airport. When they arrived, the welcoming team from Handong University was already lined up and waiting for them.

Their battle with Time and Space Internet Cafe has now reached a fever pitch. Whether this battle can end quickly depends on Lin Qingyin.

Around 5:40, Lin Qingyin and her group finally came into view.

Upon seeing Cheng Yi, Zhu Zhiyu immediately felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

From a great distance, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Cheng Yi, who sent you? Our itinerary is highly confidential."

Cheng Yi turned and looked at the welcoming team from Handong University, saying with a blank expression, "This... is also considered top secret?"

Upon seeing the welcoming party of nearly a hundred people from Handong University, Zhu Zhiyu blushed and angrily shouted at the person in charge of the welcoming party, "Who told you our itinerary?"

The person in charge looked at Zhu Zhiyu with a blank expression and said, "Dean Zhu, didn't you send us this itinerary?"

"Shut up." Zhu Zhiyu glared at the person in charge, too lazy to pretend anymore.

He strode up to Cheng Yi and said, "Cheng Yi, Lin Qingyin is now a top-notch talent that our Computer Science Department is focusing on cultivating. Her future achievements are limitless. If you really like her, you shouldn't affect her future."

"I'm affecting her future?" Cheng Yi looked at Zhu Zhiyu with a puzzled expression and said, "Um... Dean Zhu, how do you plan to mentor Lin Qingyin?"

"I will dedicate all the resources of the Computer Science Department, I..."

Before Zhu Zhiyu could finish speaking, Cheng Yi interrupted him, saying, "The Computer Science Department doesn't have many resources either. Right now, the largest training center in the Computer Science Department is still our Momo Group's Operating System R&D Center. It seems that the entire faculty of the Computer Science Department combined can't even match the number of teachers like Professor Yu Sen and his group, right?"

"Of course, I'm not targeting anyone here," Cheng Yi said, looking at the professors in front of him who were all looking angry.

Cheng Yi waved to Lin Qingyin, who was not far away, and Lin Qingyin immediately ran happily to his side.

In front of Zhu Zhiyu, Cheng Yi put his arm around Lin Qingyin's waist and said, "You have all seen Lin Qingyin's talent. To be honest, having you teach Lin Qingyin will only delay her in the end."

"Cheng Yi! That's going too far!" a professor couldn't help but shout. "Are you saying our teaching is terrible?"

“No, no, no, that’s not what I meant,” Cheng Yi said. “Teaching is about teaching according to aptitude. Lin Qingyin’s talent needs a bigger stage. Her teachers should be Dennis Ritchie, the father of C, and Bjarne Stroustrup, the father of C++, not you. To be blunt, you really have nothing left to teach Lin Qingyin.”

Cheng Yi's words made Zhu Zhiyu tremble with anger.

Cheng Yi had wanted to say these words for a long time; he had wanted to say them for half a year.

But Gao Lifu wasn't the principal at that time, and if he had said those words, he might have been placed on probation.

If it weren't for these guys constantly trying to break up the couple, he and Lin Qingyin would have already been discussing which was better, ultra-thin or non-sticky.

When the welcoming team saw that Cheng Yi was actually arguing with Zhu Zhiyu, they all fell silent.

The photographers accompanying the team also put down their cameras and pretended not to have seen anything.

The conflict between the acting student union president and the dean of the computer science department is certainly something to watch.

Zhu Zhiyu took a deep breath, tried to compose himself, and said, "Okay, okay, Cheng Yi, don't think Gao Lifu..."

"Dean Zhu, watch your words." A professor standing nearby quickly stopped Zhu Zhiyu from saying anything more.

Realizing he had misspoke, Zhu Zhiyu quickly corrected himself, saying, "According to the current rules and regulations of our university, I can give you a disciplinary action just for the fact that you secretly dated a member of the elite class!"

“That rule has been abolished.” Cheng Yi smiled and said, “Dean Zhu, a true genius is never affected by external things. If you can be affected by external things, you can’t be considered a genius.”

After saying that, Cheng Yi left the airport with Lin Qingyin, leaving behind Zhu Zhiyu and his group, as well as the welcoming team that was still wondering whether to continue with the gongs and drums.
