Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Forget about introductions, he's never even met Old Zhou!

This kid just said his family is in the seafood business; turns out he wants to piggyback on Xingcai Foods' super-fast ship!

That's quite a clever plan.

They've even started targeting schools in their business dealings.

Putting aside the fact that he didn't know Mr. Zhou, as a director of the alumni association, he wasn't qualified to chat with him.

How can he possibly make an introduction?

Does this kid really think things are that simple, or is he just naturally that simple-minded?

Even if he knows Old Zhou, what makes him think he can act as a go-between for this kid?

Oh, just because you're going to donate tens or hundreds of thousands to the school?

Public matters are public matters, and private matters are private matters!

Is this kid out of his mind?

People are now asking for favors in public places like this?

Is this how young people talk about things nowadays?

Even if he knew Old Zhou, he wouldn't help!

Wang Jinshan had lost interest in chatting with this young man from the seafood industry.

You can donate if you want, but it's okay if you don't.

"I'm sorry, I can't help you with this. It's beyond my capabilities!" Wang Jinshan politely declined.

Zhang Zihao's face froze instantly: "No, no, Teacher Wang, just a simple introduction is enough. It's very easy. When you and I go over to greet Old Zhou, you can just casually mention it!"

Wang Jinshan realized that this kid was just simple-minded.

He could only listen in; he had no chance to step forward and interrupt!

"Excuse me, alumnus, if you donate, I'd like to thank you on behalf of the school. If you don't, that's fine too, since there's nothing I can do to help anyway!"

"I'll donate right now, 20, I'll donate immediately!" Zhang Zihao took a few steps to the table, scanned the code, and gritted his teeth to donate 20!

After making the donation, Zhang Zihao's heart was bleeding.

Money spent, but nothing done. What kind of mess is this?!

20! A whole 20!

He didn't really want to donate, but he'd already made the promise, so he couldn't really treat it as a transaction.

If he does that, he will really offend the school.

If Teacher Wang were to give the school leaders a piece of his mind, it would be very detrimental to their fishery business.

There won't be another chance to connect with the school's network in the future.

This donation of 20 yuan might leave a good impression on the school; as for the rest, we'll have to deal with that later.

"On behalf of the school, I would like to express my gratitude to Young Master Zhang for his generosity!" Wang Jinshan nodded to Zhang Zihao.

After Wang Jinshan finished speaking, he ignored Zhang Zihao and gave Chen Muyan a meaningful look.

Chen Muyan immediately understood what Teacher Wang meant. She pointed to the registration table not far away: "Teacher Wang, Senior Ye is over there, the one wearing the volunteer uniform!"

Wang Jinshan's eyes were practically gleaming when they landed on Ye Chen!

Wang Jinshan smiled and strode quickly towards Ye Chen: "Hehe, fellow student Ye, hello, hello! What brings you to volunteer work?"

Zhang Zihao glanced at Wang Jinshan's exaggerated reaction, then followed Wang Jinshan's gaze to Ye Chen!

"Holy crap, Ye Chen!" Zhang Zihao took two steps back and couldn't help but exclaim.

Holy crap, what's Ye Chen doing here, dressed in a volunteer uniform?

Chen Shuyuan also saw Ye Chen, her expression somewhat complicated.

Why do we see each other so often after breaking up?

Ye Chen ignored Zhang Zihao and shook hands with Wang Jinshan with a smile: "Hehe, hello Teacher Wang, I told Junior Chen to keep a low profile, but she wouldn't listen and insisted on going to call for help!"

"Hey, alumnus Ye, you're mistaken. Your generous donation of such valuable items was originally intended to be made by Chairman Lin, but he's currently unavailable, so I'll come and greet you first!" Wang Jinshan said with a smile.

Zhang Zihao couldn't understand what was happening.

Why is Teacher Wang so enthusiastic towards Ye Chen?

Why? Is it because he came back as a volunteer?

But he donated a full 20!

Also, why did Teacher Wang say that Ye Chen donated something valuable?

Even if it's valuable, it's not as valuable as his 20 in real gold and silver.

Ye Chen was dressed head to toe in cheap, low-quality goods; what valuable items could he possibly donate?

Oh, he doesn't seem to be wearing cheap clothes anymore, but that doesn't change the fact that he's still a poor loser.

How could Ye Chen possibly donate something so valuable?

There must be some misunderstanding here!

At that moment, Zhang Zihao inadvertently glanced at the donation registration form that Coco handed him.

He saw Ye Chen's name.

Goodness, Ye Chen, this poor loser, actually donated.

He wanted to see how much Ye Chen had donated to warrant such politeness from Teacher Wang.

Zhang Zihao looked back and was momentarily stunned when he saw the value column read 300 million.

Zhang Zihao's first reaction was, "Same name as the same person!"

Yes, it must be someone with the same name!

There are plenty of people in the world named Ye Chen.

"Teacher Wang, you must have misunderstood. What valuable things could a poor guy like Ye Chen possibly donate?"

Zhang Zihao couldn't help but speak up.

Wang Jinshan frowned. What did this kid mean?

Is saying such things in this situation an attempt to create conflict?

Is he holding a grudge because he didn't agree to help with the introduction?

"Zhang, today is the centennial anniversary of the university. Please be mindful of your words and actions and their impact!" Wang Jinshan said with some dissatisfaction.

Zhang Zihao pointed at Ye Chen's information and was about to speak again when he saw other information. Holy crap, it really was the Ye Chen he knew.

His gaze fell on the Golden Hundred Years Tree Man Picture again, somewhat puzzled. What the hell is the Golden Hundred Years Tree Man Picture?

A painting worth 300 million? He'd never even heard of the painting before.

Besides, a famous artist would never give a painting such a vulgar name, like "golden," that's ridiculous!

Zhang Zihao's eyes darted around, and he immediately realized that Teacher Wang had definitely been tricked!

He knew Ye Chen's situation all too well; he was having trouble even paying rent, let alone 300 million.

It's hard to say whether he can even scrape together 300 yuan.

If Ye Chen really has a painting worth 300 million, would he donate it?

They should have cashed it out at the auction long ago!

Anyone would do that, without even thinking about it!

Therefore, Zhang Zihao concluded that there was something fishy going on.

Zhang Zihao glanced at Ye Chen, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes, then looked at Teacher Wang:

"Teacher Wang, you've definitely been fooled! Ye Chen is my classmate; I know his financial situation perfectly well!"

"Do you think someone who can't even produce 300 yuan in cash would donate 300 million yuan worth of goods?"

"If you don't believe me, take a look at the painting he donated. What's this 'Golden Century of Cultivating People' painting? Such a corny name, how can it be worth 300 million?"

"Could it be made entirely of gold?!"

Zhang Zihao glanced at Ye Chen with a mocking look on his face as he spoke.

After hearing Zhang Zihao's words, Wang Jinshan also became suspicious.

This kid is talking a good game, as if he knows Ye Chen quite well. Could there really be something fishy going on here?

Wang Jinshan hadn't witnessed it himself; he'd only heard about it from Chen Muyan.

Wang Jinshan looked at Ye Chen, but still maintained a degree of politeness as he spoke:

"Haha, alumnus Ye, where are the items you donated?"
