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

What difficulties did you encounter in Chapter 269?

Having decided to buy a house, Chen Cheng didn't tell Lu Youyou, but planned to look for properties near Huazhong University of Science and Technology when he had some free time.

In preparation for going to the United States, he went to his advisor's office during his spare time to find his advisor, Dong Peixin, and prepared to tell him about his plan to suspend his studies.

Interestingly, several counselors were playing Guandan in the office during their break. This game has now become popular throughout society. Not to mention young people in their twenties who have started working, even male dormitories in universities have Guandan games every day. Middle-aged people and even the elderly are also influenced by Guandan and are addicted to it every day.

The popularity of Guandan has also led to a continuous record number of online users on the school's Facebook gaming platform.

The game's popularity prompted both Lianzhong and Tencent to follow suit, but due to the fact that various announcements had already been made on campus, they could only study how to operate by using a deceptive tactic.

It is said that Tencent has begun internal testing of a game called "Guanji," whose name is borrowed from Guandan and Upgrading. The gameplay is basically the same as Guandan. Given their operating model, they plan to launch it first and then deal with the legal risks first. If there are any legal risks, they will respond to the lawsuit first and then use various means to delay the time. If they really can't withstand it, they will take it down and make rectifications. But in the meantime, they can at least retain users.

Dong Peixin was in the office and couldn't join in the game. He and another young counselor were watching the game from behind the table. When Chen Cheng came over, he greeted him warmly and asked, "Chen Cheng, is there something you need?"

Chen Cheng nodded and said, "Teacher Dong, I would like to discuss with you about taking a leave of absence from school."

"Suspension?"

Dong Peixin was quite surprised. Chen Cheng had just finished one semester and hadn't fallen behind in his studies. Now he suddenly wanted to take a break from school, which would delay him by at least a year. He might even have trouble keeping up with the pace of school when he returned.

So he immediately said, "You have to think carefully about taking a leave of absence. You can't make a decision rashly. Are you having any difficulties in your life or family? If you have any problems, you can tell me and I'll see if I can help you. If not, you can also communicate with the school to apply."

Seeing his concern, Chen Cheng had no choice but to tell the truth, so he said, "Teacher Dong, why don't we go outside and talk?"

Dong Peixin assumed he had something he couldn't say, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's talk outside."

After saying that, he picked up his phone from the table and walked out of the office building with Chen Cheng.

Once downstairs, Chen Cheng told the truth: "Teacher Dong, I want to take a leave of absence from school. It's not because I'm facing any difficulties, but because I'm planning to go to the United States."

"Go to America?"

Dong Peixin was a little confused.

It's not uncommon for college students to go to the US, but they all participate in exchange programs, and none of them leave in the second semester of their freshman year.

So he asked, puzzled, "Chen Cheng, what are you planning to do in America? Study?"

"No."

Chen Cheng frankly admitted, "I recently launched a website, and it's growing quite fast. I want to strike while the iron is hot and expand into the US market."

"Uh……"

Dong Peixin looked completely bewildered.

This sounds like a fantasy.

They created a website, which grew rapidly, and they expanded into the US market.

These three elements, taken together, don't sound like something a college student would say.

So he pressed further, "What...website did you create? Is it more important than going to school?"

Chen Cheng said, "It's the school's intranet."

"what?"

Dong Peixin was completely dumbfounded.

He looked at Chen Cheng and asked incredulously, "You made Renren.com?!"

Dong Peixin had just graduated from school and chose to stay on to work at the school. Websites like Renren.com were extremely attractive to him, and almost all of his classmates from back then used them.

He was amazed that the website perfectly met the needs of all college students and graduates, but as a user, he didn't delve into who developed it and assumed it was a new project by some big company or important figure, so he didn't think much of it.

But he never expected that this thing was made by one of his own students.

A freshman created a campus network?! That sounds more unbelievable than a fairy tale.

If Chen Cheng told him that he had attained enlightenment and planned to suspend his studies to return to cultivating immortality, he would find it understandable. Perhaps he had read too many online novels and gone astray. He had had students like that among his classmates back then, and more than one.

But Chen Cheng said that he created Renren.com and wanted to enter the US market, which he thought was even more outrageous than cultivating immortality.

So he asked, "Chen Cheng, are you sure you're not joking with me?"

Chen Cheng said earnestly, "Teacher Dong, I'm not kidding you. I originally started this website just for fun, but I didn't expect it to get better and better. I thought that since we've already had such a good start, we might as well seize this opportunity and do our best to advance the business."

Dong Peixin could tell from his expression and tone that he wasn't joking, so he swallowed hard, tried to calm himself down, and said, "This is such a big matter, I need to report it to the school leaders..."

Dong Peixin felt like a green recruit who had accidentally captured the enemy commander. With such a great achievement, he had to report to his superiors immediately.

It wasn't that he was greedy for credit; it was just that he couldn't control his excitement.

When Chen Cheng heard that he was going to report to the school leaders, he quickly said, "Professor Dong, my visa has been approved for a long time and I plan to leave next week. I still have a lot of work to arrange during this period. If you report to the school leaders, I am afraid that there will be a lot of unnecessary procedures later. It would be better if you could report the situation to the school leaders after I have completed my application and arrived in the United States."

Dong Peixin immediately understood what Chen Cheng meant.

Reporting to the school leaders was his first instinctive thought.

But thinking about it carefully, Chen Cheng was able to build up the school's intranet quietly, and only told me now, so he must not be a high-profile person. If the school leaders find out about this, they will definitely try to publicize it, which will definitely add a lot of extra workload to Chen Cheng.

He was also aware of the cumbersome bureaucratic procedures within the school. Such a big event would definitely be publicized by the school leaders, who would not be satisfied with just the internal school level and might even escalate it to the national level.

Since Chen Cheng wants to keep a low profile, my actions are just holding him back.

After thinking it over, he said, "If you don't want this to be made public, then apply for a leave of absence for personal reasons. I'll give you a form to fill out, and I'll take care of the rest."

At this point, he asked Chen Cheng with some curiosity, "You're taking a leave of absence now, do you plan to come back to study later?"

Dong Peixin was well aware of the scale of the school's intranet.

He could roughly figure out how much development there would be in the future.

The student in front of me has a high chance of becoming one of the richest people in China in the future. If I were him, I probably wouldn't go back to school either.

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "My parents may not be able to accept my immediate withdrawal from school. Taking a leave of absence would be a way to comfort them. If circumstances really don't allow it in the future, I'll come back and withdraw from school."

Dong Peixin immediately said, "It's okay for you to keep a low profile now, but the conditions in the future will definitely not allow you to keep a low profile. At that time, netizens all over the country will know your identity and experience. It's good to take a leave of absence now. If you really want to step into the spotlight, with your influence on the school's intranet, the school will definitely try to retain you as a well-known alumnus. They will make some concessions in all aspects, and in the end, you may be able to graduate smoothly by just defending your thesis."

He continued, "The situation in China is quite different from that abroad. It's common to drop out of school to start a business abroad, but the general trend in China is more low-key. If you don't have a university degree, no matter how well you do in China, people will still make fun of you. Look at those Olympic champions, why do they all have to go to university? Many times, the invisible barrier of academic qualifications is unavoidable. You are now like an Olympic champion, bringing honor to the school, and the school will definitely try to make an exception. Let's try our best to get this degree certificate. What do you think?"

Chen Cheng sensed Dong Peixin's sincerity and knew that Dong Peixin's logic was correct. Whether for himself or the school, graduating smoothly and obtaining a degree certificate would be a good thing. Schools would generally be embarrassed to include a student who dropped out after studying for half a year in their honorary alumni list. Although he wouldn't be called a "high school CEO" like Li Xiang, he still hadn't graduated from university. Some people could use this to their advantage if they wanted to annoy him.

If he could retain his student status and graduate with special consideration, it would be a good thing for the school, and beneficial to him as well. Even for Dong Peixin, it would be a perfect start to his career. Who else could help someone become a future billionaire's advisor in their first year after graduation? This is something he could brag about for a lifetime.

So he readily agreed, saying, "Then I'll trouble you to help communicate with the school leaders. If the school leaders have no objections, I'd be more than willing."

Dong Peixin said cheerfully, "Don't worry, the school leaders will definitely be more than willing!"

Then he asked Chen Cheng, "Since you have no objections, I'll wait until you go to the United States and then report this matter to the school leaders."

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Then you should say that you just received the message from me in the United States and only then learned the whole story. Don't let the school leaders think that you are more biased towards me than the school in this matter. I will also send you an email, which you can forward directly to the school leaders."

Dong Peixin was taken aback for a moment, then came to his senses.

If Chen Cheng had left first and you had gone to report to the school leaders immediately afterward, they would definitely have asked why you waited until he left to say it.

If you were to say that Chen Cheng didn't want to be high-profile, it would be tantamount to telling the school leaders that you were helping Chen Cheng keep it a secret from them, and that you were afraid they would bother him, so you only told them after he left.

This will likely cause some dissatisfaction among school leaders.

Then he suddenly realized and said, "Yes, yes, you've thought of everything more thoroughly. Let's do it this way then. You fill out the application first! We'll move on!"
