At this moment, a commanding voice came from behind.
"What’s the trouble?"
Everyone looked towards the sound and saw that it was Principal Ge Sulan accompanied by the Vice Principal and the Director of Academic Affairs.
Even though Zhou Shuang’s family runs a coal mine, facing the principal still made him feel scared.
Ge Sulan and the others approached Yang Chen with cheerful smiles to greet him.
"Yang Chen, why didn’t you let us know you were coming?"
"Yeah, if you’d told us earlier, we could have arranged a quieter place for you to eat."
"It’s too noisy here, how about moving to the faculty dining hall for lunch instead?"
...
Yang Chen replied with a smile, "Thank you for your kind offer, principals and directors, I’m fine eating here. But please, could you help me get rid of that guy? He keeps chattering non-stop nearby and really disturbs our meal."
The Director of Academic Affairs immediately scolded, "Zhou Shuang, we might overlook your antics at school, but being disrespectful to your senior, Yang Chen, is unacceptable! Yang Chen generously donated a lot of money to the school, just so you all can have a place to take classes and host events at the new university activity center. If you’re disrespectful to him now, do you think you’ll feel comfortable entering the teaching building or taking part in activities at the university activity center?"
Everyone was shocked.
"Ah! He’s the Yang Chen who donated the teaching building and the activity center?"
"Yang Chen Tower 1 and Yang Chen Tower 2, he donated them both?"
"I can’t believe the Yang Chen I’ve always idolized is so young and handsome; he completely fits my image of a perfect male idol."
"No wonder Zhao Ying ignores Zhou Shuang, insisting on being with him. So, he’s actually Senior Yang Chen."
"If it were me, if I had the chance to get close to Senior Yang Chen, I’d willingly be his side chick, just to be near him."
"No surprise that Tang Pavilion sends over food, when someone can casually donate buildings, it’s only logical that Tang Pavilion delivers meals."
...
The legend of Senior Yang Chen is well-known among the teachers and students of Hai City University of Finance and Economics.
Just how powerful he is, nobody knows for sure. Anyway, the legend goes that a single phone call from him can resolve issues even the principal of Hai City Finance University can’t handle, and it can persuade someone to sell land cheaply for millions more, not to mention donating two buildings without batting an eye.
Zhou Shuang’s heart raced, his palms sweating, as he hastily approached Yang Chen and said, "Senior, I’m sorry, I didn’t know it was you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have dared to act like this with you. I won’t pester Zhao Ying anymore, please forgive me."
Yang Chen replied with a smile, "Love is mutual, not a one-sided affair. Young people often find themselves troubled by love, I can forgive you this once. Now, move along, don’t disturb us as we eat."
Zhou Shuang: "Okay, okay. Thank you for your tolerance, Senior, I’ll leave right away."
After speaking, Zhou Shuang quickly turned and ran off, leaving behind his steak set meal.
Ge Sulan laughed and said, "Yang Chen, how about I call someone to move the food to the faculty dining hall? We actually have a few things we want to discuss with you."
Yang Chen: "I know what you want to say; I’ll try to come by. For now, we’ll eat here, you all should go and eat too."
The school currently relies on Yang Chen, so even the principal needs to show him enough respect.
So, Ge Sulan quickly nodded with a smile and said, "Alright, with those words, I’m relieved. Then we won’t disturb you while you’re eating. Haha..."
Yang Chen smiled and nodded, while Ge Sulan and the others headed towards the faculty dining hall.
The surrounding students were enviously excited.
"If I can achieve what Senior Yang Chen did in the future, my life will be worth it."
"Even the principal is so humble before him; that’s truly impressive."
"Eat more, dream less; in all the years since Hai City Finance University was founded, only Senior Yang Chen has managed to make even the principal humble. Do you think the next one will be you?"
"One should have dreams, otherwise what’s the difference with a salted fish?"
...
Friday, job fair.
Yang Chen only went to the school after finishing the morning rush.
At this moment, two luxury cars were parked at the school entrance.
One was a McLaren 570S, and the other was a Lamborghini Aventador.
The owner of the McLaren was Wu Chaohui, and the Lamborghini Aventador belonged to Zhou Yu.
Both of them were from West Mountain Province.
Wu Chaohui was the chairman of West Mountain Hongri Steel Group, while Zhou Yu was the vice chairman of West Mountain Chaoyang Coal Group.
Additionally, Zhou Yu was Zhou Shuang’s older brother.
Wu Chaohui was in the same year as Yang Chen and studied business management.
He was very fortunate; earlier this year, both his father and brother unexpectedly passed away, allowing him to take over as chairman of Red Sun Steel Group, inheriting assets worth about 20 billion.
Zhou Yu was also being groomed by his father as the successor, gradually taking over management rights of Chaoyang Coal Group.
Zhou Yu wasn’t a graduate of Hai City Finance University; upon hearing that his younger brother faced setbacks at school, and since his good friend Wu Chaohui was attending the job fair, he decided to tag along.
Firstly, to help his brother regain face.
Secondly, to see if they could recruit any talented individuals for the company.
Zhou Shuang immediately ran over, joyfully saying, "Brother, Brother Hui, you’re here."
Wu Chaohui: "Shuang, I hear from your brother that you were bullied at school?"
Zhou Shuang: "Oh... Don’t mention it, I encountered tough opposition."
Zhou Yu: "What’s his name? What does his family do?"
Zhou Shuang: "His name is Yang Chen, not sure what he does, but he’s really rich; donated two buildings to the school."
Wu Chaohui’s eyes suddenly brightened, saying, "Who? Yang Chen? The Yang Chen who donated two buildings to the school?"
