You said you failed your college entrance exam and are now crowdfunding to build a university?

At that moment, they forgot all about textbooks and teaching equipment.

They just wanted to taste what the regular meals at Haichuan University's cafeteria tasted like!

Ten minutes later, a group of people rushed to the canteen and saw a densely packed scene of workers sitting in their seats, burying their heads in their rice and wolfing it down.

The table manners weren't very appealing, but they were incredibly appetizing! The entire cafeteria was filled with the aroma of food.

"Thank goodness we're not too late, let's hurry up and line up!" Everyone glanced at the dishes at the window, breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly took out their meal cards to join the queue.

Inside the teaching building, after everyone had left, Liu Dazhu picked up his phone and discovered that his wife had called him several times.

But he had been leading the group on a tour and his phone was on silent, so he didn't receive a single call.

"This is it, we're doomed." Liu Dazhu gave a bitter smile and sighed softly.

His wife is from the Sichuan-Chongqing region. Before they got married, he thought all girls from Sichuan and Chongqing were wonderful—gentle, cute, and generous.

But after getting married, he truly understood the meaning of the saying, "Marrying a woman from Sichuan or Chongqing means experiencing a life of misfortune."

"Ring ring—" Just then, his phone rang, and his wife called him again via video call.

"Hey? Where have you been gallivanting off to all morning? You haven't even answered a phone call?"

As soon as the video call connected, a series of curses and swears came through.

"Tell me! Are you seeing someone else? You think I won't break your legs?"

Before he could reply, the video was filled with a barrage of insults.

"Wife, let me explain." Liu Dazhu swallowed hard, his survival instinct kicking in.

"I was just showing the professors around the teaching facilities, and my phone was on silent."

"Are you kidding me?"

"Aren't you a construction foreman? Why are you giving a professor a tour?"

Liu Dazhu coughed lightly, then explained, "The school has only just been established, and we haven't recruited any staff yet, so the principal asked me to help out."

"Alright, where are the professors? Let me see them." A cold snort came from the video.

"Professors?" Liu Dazhu glanced at the empty surroundings and could only tell the truth, "The professors have all gone to the cafeteria to grab food."

"Liu Dazhu, Liu Dazhu, you've started lying without even thinking! What level is a professor? Do you think you're like the construction workers on your site, fighting over food?"

No matter how Liu Dazhu explained, the other party remained unconvinced and refused to believe him.

Liu Dazhu gritted his teeth and sprinted toward the cafeteria.

Ten minutes later, he arrived at the cafeteria, pointed his phone camera at each of the cafeteria's windows, and saw a spectacular scene.

"Everyone, don't push! Be careful not to bump Dean Lu. He's just a block of tofu, it won't be that serious!"

"This is the last piece of tofu! You've all had several portions already, let me have one!"

"Good heavens! The seaweed and egg drop soup I just made, where did all the seaweed and egg go? Who scooped it all out for me?"

"The cafeteria kitchen has decided to add more dishes, please be patient!"

A group of neatly dressed, refined people were seen queuing up in front of the window.

They craned their necks, their eyes scanning everywhere, frantically scrambling for the food as if they hadn't eaten for days.

Meanwhile, the construction workers sat back in their seats, rubbing their bellies after eating and drinking their fill.

The two presented a stark contrast, making it difficult to distinguish for a moment who was the worker and who was the professor.

You have received a new chapter update: Chapter 50 Who Stole My Tofu?, read the link below.

"You're saying all these people fighting over food are professors?" A hesitant voice came from the video.

Liu Dazhu: "..."

Meanwhile, at the Suzaku campus.

Wei Ying is live-streaming, walking along the tree-lined paths of the campus, showing viewers the progress of the school's construction.

The Qinglong campus is now basically completed, while the remaining three campuses are still under construction with everyone working overtime.

His live stream now boasts a million online viewers, a number that has grown significantly over the past.

Most of them are students from the four provinces and their parents.

During the live stream, he would also take time to answer questions from netizens.

"Have you finished visiting the teaching building?" Wei Ying looked up and gazed at a distant mountain peak.

That's where the Qinglong campus is located.

After becoming familiar with the teaching environment, the teachers at Haichuan University can begin studying the teaching materials, preparing lessons in advance, and getting ready for the start of the semester.

In addition, teachers of the same subject can exchange ideas, discuss teaching materials, and make progress together to improve their professional skills.

Although among these 1,500 teachers, the lowest academic qualification is a doctorate and the lowest professional title is professor, it is far from enough for Haichuan University.

After all, his goal is to surpass many prestigious universities in China within three years and build Haichuan University into a world-class university.

Thinking of this, he looked up at the system panel. The panel displayed a new live-streaming challenge:

[Improve Haichuan University's Ranking]: Within six months, improve Haichuan University's domestic ranking, enabling it to enter the top 50 in China.

Current ranking: 2820.

Wei Ying shook his head and gave a bitter smile.

It sounds complicated, but there are three main ways to improve a university's ranking: first, to conduct scientific research projects; second, to improve the school's various data, achievements, and reputation; and third, to publish research reports and academic papers.

There are certain strict requirements for conducting scientific research; only universities ranked in the top 50 in China are qualified to undertake relevant national scientific research projects.

Therefore, the only promotion paths at Kaichuan University are the second and third, namely, enhancing the university's reputation and publishing research papers.

"There are still six months left," Wei Ying murmured softly, taking a deep breath.

Half a year, or one semester, is enough time for the teachers and students of Haichuan University to grow.

The rewards for this task are also extremely generous; you can earn 100,000 challenge points simply by completing it.

That evening, in the faculty dormitory. After touring the teaching facilities, everyone returned to their respective dormitories, each with their own unsettled feelings.

In dormitory 501, Lu Jianhua walked to the balcony with his hands behind his back, gazed into the distance, and remained silent for a long time.

"Mr. Lu, what are you thinking about?" Hu Zhengchu asked, taking his thermos with him as he walked onto the balcony.

"Haichuan University has given me so many surprises."

Lu Jianhua withdrew his gaze and sighed softly. Although he sighed, he couldn't hide the relief and excitement on his face.

Both the living and teaching environments exceeded his expectations.

He originally came to Haichuan University just for its teaching materials, but now he has the idea of ​​working at Haichuan University long-term.
