Since they are reborn, they must be supported by the school beauties.

Chapter 139 Rich and Rich
Chen Cheng only stayed at home for three days before boarding the train back to Jiangcheng alone at noon on the 4th.

Although his parents were reluctant to let him go, they understood his decision after he became a class leader.

Chen Cheng left home with a backpack, first deposited cash at the bank, and then headed to the station lightly.

Even the express train takes four hours. The train ride was incredibly boring, and Lu Youyou knew he was bored traveling alone, so she kept sending him text messages.

On the way, Chen Cheng received a call from a landline in Jiangcheng.

On the phone, Wu Haoyang said nervously, "Chen Cheng, I took my mom to see a gastroenterologist this morning. The doctor said her condition might not be good, and they couldn't rule out the possibility of cirrhosis or even a malignant tumor... I'm completely stunned and don't know what to do..."

Chen Cheng asked him, "What did the doctor say?"

Wu Haoyang said, "The doctor ordered a lot of tests. We can have blood drawn tomorrow morning, and the ultrasound can be done the day after tomorrow. The CT scan will have to wait a few days, until October 9th."

Chen Cheng immediately said, "Take your aunt to have all the tests the doctor ordered done first, to see what the situation is. After that, just follow the doctor's orders."

After saying that, he asked, "How are your aunt and uncle doing now?"

"them……"

Wu Haoyang sighed: "My mom kept crying, saying she didn't want to get treatment anymore and wanted to go home. My dad felt the same way as you, that he wanted to get checked first, but he wanted to go home first to raise some money. So I gave him your 10,000 yuan and explained the situation to him. They asked me to thank you and said they would find a way to pay you back when they got home."

Upon hearing this, Chen Cheng deduced that Wu Haoyang's family probably didn't even have 10,000 yuan in savings.

His family is basically one person earning money to support three people, and with the school just starting out, it's hard for them to have any savings.

So Chen Cheng instructed him: "You should accompany them to do all these tests first, and then take the results to the doctor to see what the doctor says. Don't worry about the money. If you need it, I'll help you find a way."

Chen Cheng also began to consider his mother's condition. In his previous life, he remembered that his mother had passed away after he graduated from university, which meant that he had at least four years left.

Chen Cheng mentally sorted out the relevant clues.

Wu Haoyang's mother passed away after he graduated.

She is now showing symptoms of liver disease. A rational analysis suggests that if it is liver cancer, given their family's financial situation, she probably won't last four or five years.

Therefore, his mother's condition is most likely not as serious as cancer.

Between cirrhosis and liver cancer, Chen Cheng felt that the former was more likely.

Unless it's cancer, other treatments are much easier.

I'm now financially stable enough that helping him shouldn't be a problem.

So Chen Cheng comforted him: "I think it's most likely not cancer, but cirrhosis. Remember to calm your aunt down. If she says she wants to go home, tell her that some diseases can be cured for 10,000 yuan now, but if you delay, it may cost 100,000 yuan. Make sure she cooperates."

Wu Haoyang said gratefully, "Thank you, Chen Cheng. I'll take them to see the doctor for the next few days, so I won't bother you. I'll treat you to a meal after the tests are done!"

"Why are you so polite?"

Chen Cheng said, "Call me if you need any help."

"Okay, I understand, thank you!"

……

Around 3 p.m., the train arrived in Jiangcheng.

Su Zishan had already parked her car in the parking lot and was waiting for him at the exit.

In October, Jiangcheng still felt like summer. Today, Su Zishan wore a black dress and a pair of shiny black high-heeled sandals.

Her long, flowing golden hair cascaded over her delicate shoulders, her snow-white neck and collarbone were exposed to the air, and her slender, perfect calves and ankles were also on display, even her toes looked sexy and cute.

It's clear that Su Zishan wore light makeup today, making her features more charming than usual. Her red lips, adorned with a light lip gloss, were even more luscious. Combined with her simple yet classic outfit, she truly stood out.

Chen Cheng couldn't help but sigh. He could hardly see any generational gap in Su Zishan. Even if she were placed twenty years later, she would still be a fashionable and beautiful woman, and would still be the object of pursuit for countless men.

Upon seeing Chen Cheng, Su Zishan was overjoyed and waved to him repeatedly. Her first question to him was, "How does it feel to be home?"

Chen Cheng laughed and said, "To be honest, it's pretty boring."

In his previous life, Chen Cheng had a harmonious family and his parents had always been by his side since he succeeded in starting his own business. Therefore, he was not homesick after being reborn.

Su Zishan said with a smile, "Business has been very good at the store since the evening of the 30th until yesterday. We have been making 60,000 to 70,000 yuan in revenue every day. I feel that making 1 million yuan in revenue in October should not be a problem."

Chen Cheng asked her, "Has Zhao Siyan been here these past few days?"

"exist."

Su Zishan nodded and said approvingly, "Xiao Zhao is very organized. There are already repeat customers who come specifically for her."

Chen Cheng was slightly surprised, then smiled and said, "That's good. Let her shine in the store."

Su Zishan's large, watery eyes darted over him as she smiled and asked, "What do you want to eat tonight? I'll treat you to a big meal." "Anything is fine with me."

Chen Cheng replied, then asked her, "By the way, what's Ning-jie doing? Should we invite her to join us tonight?"

Su Zishan casually said, "She went to Guangzhou on a business trip with her dad."

Chen Cheng asked in surprise, "You're on a business trip even though you're on vacation?"

Su Zishan nodded and said, "It seems like her company is having some problems."

Chen Cheng asked, "Lingzhou Pharmaceuticals? What's wrong?"

"I am not sure as well."

Su Zishan said, "It seemed to be something about not meeting performance targets and what kind of punishment there would be. She said the situation was quite tricky, but she used a lot of terms that I didn't understand."

Chen Cheng asked in confusion, "Aren't you a graduate student? How come you still don't understand a few of the terms?"

Su Zishan glanced at him and muttered in dissatisfaction, "I studied fine arts, okay? I graduated from an art academy!"

Chen Cheng nodded, then pondered the problems Shen Luning's family was facing.

Logically speaking, Lingzhou Pharmaceutical is Shen Luning's family business. Even if its performance is not good, it will only suffer losses at most. It is her own company, and no one else can punish her for poor performance.

From this perspective, the most likely explanation is that there are performance-based agreements with other companies or investors.

Even though the company is your own, once you sign a performance-based agreement with someone else, you have to meet the stipulated performance targets within a specified time, otherwise the penalty mechanism in the contract will be triggered.

Punishment mechanisms generally fall into two categories: either monetary rewards or stock options.

The underlying logic is that an investor invests in a company, providing a sum of money and taking a 20% stake, but agrees that the company's performance must reach a certain standard after three years. If the standard is not met, the company will have to compensate the investor with an additional 10% of its shares. The company is initially full of confidence, thinking that with this investment, the performance will definitely meet the standard. However, as it works, it finds that it cannot meet the standard and will basically have to cut its losses.

He speculated that Shen Luning's family's pharmaceutical company must be in this situation, otherwise it would be impossible for her to travel to Guangzhou during the National Day holiday. It is highly likely that the investors are in Guangzhou.

He really wanted to call and ask about the situation. After all, he had lent Shen Luning one million yuan. If she was short of money right now, he would have to swallow his pride and ask Lu Zhixing for a loan to get the money out for her.

But then Chen Cheng thought again, if it really was a bet, then it wasn't a matter of lacking money.

The core of a performance-based agreement is that if the promised performance is not met, for example, if your company is supposed to earn 100 million in three years but you fall short by 10 million, even if you have 500 million or 800 million in your own pocket, you cannot use it to offset the performance target.

If money is used for illicit transactions or to inflate revenue through financial means, this is called financial fraud.

If the investor discovers this during an audit, even administrative regulatory agencies will have to get involved. In that case, the investor will still lose the bet and will face a host of administrative penalties and civil compensation.

So he decided to find an opportunity to ask Shen Luning if it really was a betting issue, and if there was still time, he might be able to help her find a solution.

Then he said to Su Zishan, "Sister Zishan, it's still early, why don't you drive me to the electronics market?"

Su Zishan asked him, "What are you going there for?"

Chen Cheng said, "I want to buy a few used computers. I set up a printing shop at the school, and it will open on the 7th."

"A printing shop?"

Su Zishan was astonished: "Why did you open a printing shop? Can you make money from that?"

Chen Cheng made up a story: "I didn't start the printing shop myself. I just invested some money to open it and let my roommates run it. It's like helping them with their studies."

Su Zishan nodded and said, "Okay then, I'll take you to buy a computer first, and then we'll find a place to eat."

"Row!"

Once again, Chen Cheng visited the electronics market and found a reliable secondhand computer dealer.

He purchased five decent second-hand desktop computers, four brand-new scanners, a portable inkjet printer, and a Nikon D100 SLR camera.

The most expensive items here are the DSLR camera and its lens.

However, Chen Cheng didn't care. Firstly, he had plenty of money, and secondly, a DSLR camera was quite useful.

Besides taking ID photos for students who come to the school, we can also use it to take more high-definition photos of the school's beautiful girls in the future. When we upload them to the website, the traffic will definitely be amazing.

Putting everything else aside, Lu Youyou is definitely quite well-known at Renji Medical College and even the entire Huazhong University of Science and Technology. If she registers an account on Renren.com and uploads a few beautiful photos, she could probably bring at least a thousand new users to the campus network.

Anyway, the basic logic of the school's intranet is already set up. Unregistered users can't view other people's photo albums; they can only see a blurry thumbnail the size of a fingernail. If you want to see photos of pretty girls, you have to register first.

After purchasing the equipment, Chen Cheng added a few more computer desks, asking the shop owner to deliver them to the school the next morning. With all these things arranged, they could wait for the printing shop to officially open on the 7th.

Before leaving, he upgraded the dedicated server and went home. His account had more than 300,000 yuan, so he was now quite wealthy.

He plans to hold a pep talk with his four roommates when he gets back tonight, and start training as soon as the equipment arrives tomorrow. He's just waiting to make a splash on the 7th!
