Chapter 240: The past modified by wealth
"Hello fellow students, my name is Zhang Xiu\'e..."
When the girl on the stage began to give a passionate speech, Lu Chen came back to his senses, glanced at Wang Qiaobin who was still snickering in shame, and then quickly found the student union staff nearby.
After Lu Chen expressed his doubts, the junior fellow student from the student union quickly spoke:
"Well, Senior Brother Lu, I don\'t know what\'s going on. Why don\'t you wait here for a moment and I\'ll ask Teacher Ni..."
"Okay, okay."
Lu Chen nodded, and after the junior brother left through the back door, he felt a little calmer.
There must be a mistake in the process...
It was obviously the Youth League Committee who notified him to prepare a speech, so it was impossible not to let him do it at the last minute, right?
It\'s just Wang Qiaobin, you\'re always smiling like a hammer!
"I\'m sorry, I\'m sorry, I\'ve come into contact with all kinds of customers, and there are everyone among them, so under normal circumstances, I won\'t laugh..."
Seeing Lu Chen staring at him, Wang Qiaobin smiled and waved his hands.
After a while, when the second graduate came to the stage to give a speech, the student\'s junior brother finally turned back. He hesitated and walked to Lu Chen\'s side, "That...Senior Brother Lu..."
Seeing the other party\'s hesitant look, Lu Chen, who had been anxious for a long time, had a bad premonition in his heart and quickly asked: "Junior brother, what is going on?"
"Ahem, um, there might be something wrong when printing the activity sheet, so...so Brother Lu, your name is gone, I\'m sorry..."
The junior brother in the student union explained dryly, everyone could tell that he didn\'t mean what he said.
"No, junior brother, what do you mean a printing error? Can\'t you just add my name back? I can also play later... How about I go and tell Teacher Ni in person?"
Although, Lu Chen still retained a trace of thoughts.
"Uh, um, Teacher Ni asked me to say sorry to you, because the process has been fixed and I can\'t add you to it, so..."
Junior Brother said with a smile.
When Lu Chen stayed there, the junior brother said "I\'m sorry" and ran away, probably because he was afraid that Lu Chen would continue to ask questions.
"puff!"
Wang Qiaobin, who didn\'t hold back, laughed again. Lu Chen, who finally became angry, couldn\'t help but cursed in a low voice: "Wang Qiaobin, are you laughing at your father?"
"Lu Chen, Lu Chen, everyone has been out for a year, why are you still so naive!"
At this time, Wang Qiaobin just said with a smile, "You obviously know that you were kicked out temporarily, so why are you deceiving yourself?"
Lu Chen\'s face darkened for a moment. Of course he realized that the problem was not as simple as "the list was printed wrongly", but he really couldn\'t figure out why the school would treat him like this?
He, Lu Chen, has never offended any school leader!
At this time, amid a burst of warm applause, the second boy who spoke also finished his speech.
Speaking of which, this boy has caused some heated discussions because he created a takeaway brand called "Meatloaf Burrito King" after graduation. It has now swept across Yunnan Province, with nearly 20 franchise stores. The franchise fee alone The profit has been close to one million.
In this era of "everything is about money", not to mention these juniors and juniors, they all listened with gusto and had varying degrees of admiration for the boys. Even Zhou Wang, who was standing in the background, was a little emotional.
This senior\'s experience is really similar to his. They both started trying to start a business while in college. The only difference is that the other person succeeded, while he was lost to everyone, and even fell into the dust, becoming another 99% of ordinary people.
When the boys\' speech was coming to an end, a girl cadre from the student union trotted to the backstage, reminding Zhou Wang that he was about to take the stage.
Zhou Wang nodded and stood up. Jiang Qingkui, who had been silently beside him, came over at this time and helped Zhou Wang tidy up his cuffs and collar.
The girl from the student union looked at Zhou Wang with hidden eagerness, but because of Jiang Qingkui\'s aura, she did not have the courage to take a photo with Zhou Wang...
Amidst the applause, the boy who was giving the lecture in front of him got off the stage, and Ni Hong walked back to the hosting platform on one side. After the applause in the lecture theater subsided a little, she held on to the microphone and said with a smile:
"Students, the one who is about to give a lecture next is a graduate who can be described as \'special\'. Among the group of \'outstanding graduates\' recognized by Caiyuan University, he is the one who graduated in the shortest time, but looking at the past ten years Within this year, among all the fresh graduates from Cai University, he is the most dazzling..."
This same special introduction immediately made many people raise their heads in surprise, and suddenly a girl screamed, which attracted the attention of the people around her.
"Is it that who..."
The girl lowered her head in embarrassment and couldn\'t help but whisper.
Most people were puzzled, but a small number of college students who were more concerned about current affairs were surprised when they remembered something.
Damn it, can\'t you?
At this time, Ni Hong\'s introduction also came to an end:
"Let us give warm applause to invite you, a graduate of the 24th class of Caida Law School, one of the ten outstanding young people in Jingcheng, Yunnan Province, a shareholder and supervisor of Wuyou Media, a well-known domestic MCN organization, a young entrepreneur, and a billionaire , Freelance Investor...Zhou Wang!"
Just after Ni Hong finished speaking, the LED strip screen above the lecture theater also lit up, and a line of large characters flashed out——
[Warmly welcome the well-known young entrepreneur Mr. Zhou Wang to return to his alma mater]
Although Zhou Wang said there was no need to hang banners, he didn\'t say not to light up the LED screen, right?
Ni Hong secretly praised his wit.
After Ni Hong finished speaking, there was a brief silence in the lecture theater, followed by a burst of noise and screaming.
"Zhou Wang is really here!"
"Oh my god, I\'m going to see the male god..."
"No, why are you so excited? Who is Zhou Wang?"
"Damn it, buddy, don\'t you usually watch short videos? Even if you don\'t, don\'t you visit forums and post bars? The top posts above are all about Zhou Wang!"
"..."
There was endless discussion in the lecture hall. Some people were confused, but more people\'s expressions changed because of this name.
This is the group that accepts cutting-edge information the fastest, and the most important thing is... Zhou Wang is Cai Da.
Not to mention that Zhou Wang has caused a sensation on the Internet, even if he is only famous in a very niche field, once he is noticed by a student of Cai Da University, it will quickly spread in the campus media of Cai University .
Therefore, it would be impossible for Zhou Wang, who had just "debuted", to be so famous in any university, but within the University, he had already become a very popular topic...
In the back row, when they heard Zhou Wang\'s name, among the dozen graduates, others might still be at a loss, but Lu Chen was startled and stood up suddenly.
Who is coming on horseback?
After hearing the other party\'s discussion clearly, Lu Chen knew that he had heard correctly, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly.
Looking around...
How could it be him...
There is no love and hate for no reason in the world.
The main reason why he didn\'t like Zhou Wang at first was that he once pursued Ding Yi, a 20-level school beauty, but was rejected outright.
Almost no one knew about this, but Zhou Wang was present at the time.
Lu Chen, who has always regarded himself as the proud son of heaven, felt that his face was damaged in front of Zhou Wang, even though Zhou Wang didn\'t show anything at the time... Coupled with the ambiguous relationship between Zhou Wang and Ding Yi, Lu Chen naturally had a very strong regard for Zhou Wang. accurate.
Small frictions on the court were normal. Until the fight broke out, Lu Chen specially invited the teacher from the Security Department to have a meal and went to the Academic Affairs Office for a walk...
So Zhou Wanghui was punished, and he did play some dirty role in it.
Originally, after graduation, the name "Zhou Wang" was almost forgotten by him... an inconspicuous little character was not worthy of being remembered by him.
As a result, just recently, the other party suddenly changed and became a shareholder of Wuyou Media, a young rich man with a net worth of over 100 million...
Compared to anyone else, Lu Chen was the most confused because he knew the other person\'s family background well and knew that the other person had debts when he was in college, so he was puzzled——
How did the horse riding trick come about?
Lu Chen couldn\'t figure it out, but it didn\'t stop him from being out of sight and out of mind, but he didn\'t expect that this day would come anyway.
Turning around and seeing Wang Qiaobin\'s joking expression, Lu Chen suddenly understood something, and his expression became increasingly grim.
I see!
With Zhou Wang\'s current influence, it would not be too easy to deprive him of his preaching quota, just like the small influence he exerted in that matter.
This was a slap that Zhou Wang returned from the air.
It\'s just that the two levels are completely different. He just used the human relationship to say hello to a familiar teacher, while Zhou Wang, thinking with his toes, Lu Chen can also understand his current status in the eyes of the school leaders...
"Lu Chen, do you understand now, who is the joke?"
Wang Qiaobin laughed, imitated his previous actions, patted his shoulder, and then sat down on his own, leaving Lu Chen standing there with a gloomy expression.
...
When Zhou Wang, dressed in formal attire, walked onto the podium, warm applause and screams erupted in the lecture theater. The school leaders on the podium also applauded and smiled warmly at Zhou Wang.
How does a university reflect its comprehensive strength?
Campus environment, faculty, hardware facilities, world rankings... there are too many indicators to measure.
The value of graduates is undoubtedly the top priority.
That represents the heritage and reputation of a university, and also represents a memory that will never fade.
Take Harvard University and Bill Gates as an example. Bill Gates is definitely more famous than Harvard University. So some people who don\'t know about Harvard will know that he famously dropped out of Harvard if they learn more about Bill Gates. Experience, so that you know how awesome Harvard University is...
Just like the saying "Tomorrow the school will be proud of me", a graduate who is praised and coaxed will definitely be publicized by his alma mater, and even a monument will be erected.
No one knows how Zhou Wang made his fortune. Maybe netizens will want to get to the bottom of it, but to the leaders of Caida, the process is not important at all.
He is a billionaire, a flag that CaiDa can raise, and an important part of the school\'s educational achievements. That is enough.
Except for Principal Bai, Ni Hong and a few others, no one knew that this event would be held on September 2nd simply because Zhou Wang said "I have time today."
No one knew that the reason why more than a dozen "outstanding graduates" were invited was entirely because Zhou Wang said he "didn\'t want to be too deliberate." Nor did anyone know that the reason why four people were originally scheduled to speak at the lecture was only because Zhou Wang Wang said "inappropriate"...
This is a stage play specially built around him, just as Wang Qiaobin suddenly woke up——
They are all just NPCs.
Zhou Wang nodded with Ni Hong and stood on the podium. He glanced at the more than two hundred pairs of eyes below. Hearing those screams, he was a little surprised.
It seems that Ni Hong did not brag with him. He has really accumulated some popularity in Caida and gained a group of fans and so on...
"Hello everyone, I\'m Zhou Wang."
Facing the flash, Zhou Wang took the microphone and said something briefly. There was another round of booing and applause in the lecture theater.
Zhou Wang pressed his palms down, and after a little quiet down below, he smiled and said: "First of all, I have to apologize to everyone. No matter what the reason is, meeting everyone on Monday afternoon actually takes up everyone\'s academic time in disguise. ...Well, I know that our college has the most classes on Mondays!"
"Hahaha..."
There was a burst of laughter in the lecture theater, especially the sophomore and junior students, who all showed knowing smiles.
"In addition, I also know that the original lecture time was set at 2:30, and everyone may have been waiting in the lecture theater for a long time. I am honest that it was because I was late, so I made everyone wait for a long time. I am very sorry. "
After saying that, Zhou Wang bowed slightly to indicate.
After a moment of silence in the lecture theater, there were cheers from boys and screams from girls.
"Senior is serious, we can wait!"
"That\'s right, we can sit here all day..."
"Wow, Senior Zhou Wang is so handsome!"
"Senior, check me... ugh!"
Some girls were so excited that they lost control. Fortunately, their best friends covered their mouths in time.
After the commotion calmed down a bit, Zhou Wangfu smiled again and said: "Since I am expressing my apology, of course I can\'t just say it in vain, so I have prepared a small gift for everyone here, but I will keep it secret for the time being. I will tell everyone when it is over. "
When they heard that there were gifts, everyone showed curious expressions, but no matter what, at this time, even the junior students who had no interest in Zhou Wang could hardly feel bored with Zhou Wang anymore.
"Today\'s event is said to be a lecture, but I think it is more like a chat. It may still be a bit pretentious. After all, I have achieved some small achievements, but I really hope that everyone can Something gained..."
Zhou Wangchu stood next to the podium, smiling casually and speaking, which triggered another burst of good-natured laughter.
"Where do I start talking about it? Well, let\'s start from when I woke up from my dormitory on a sunny afternoon and decided to start a business..."
As Zhou Wang began to talk about his entrepreneurial experience in college, the lecture hall became quiet, and everyone became extremely focused, staring at Zhou Wang on the stage with implicit admiration and admiration.
Jiang Qingkui stood silently in a corner of the background, where no one was paying attention, looking slightly dazed.
She returned to Jingcheng No. 1 Middle School with Zhou Wang at the beginning of last month. Although Zhou Wang did not show any timidity at that time, Jiang Qingkui could clearly feel that he was still a bit nervous when he gave a speech in Jingcheng No. 1 Middle School.
How long has passed, the young boy who was still a little immature at the beginning has turned into a handsome and talkative man in front of me, with confidence and sophistication everywhere in his movements.
As she watched, Jiang Qingkui gradually became a little wet.
After she reacted, Jiang Qingkui\'s cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly adjusted her stance to prevent her legs wrapped in stockings from becoming so tight...
From "campus wine delivery" to "pet funeral", and from "campus matching" to "succulent potted plant retail", Zhou Wang talked about the entrepreneurial projects he tried in college one by one.
"... In short, my advice to you is that if you don\'t have a solid family background, and don\'t have a vision and market judgment that is different from ordinary people, it\'s better not to try to start a business easily. It may be a better choice to complete your studies solidly first. "
When Zhou Wang sincerely finished his last concluding remarks, there was a burst of applause in the lecture theater.
Immediately, many people raised their hands impatiently.
The lecture event had a free question period, but when the first two graduates came on stage, very few people raised their hands to ask questions. Unlike now, the number of people who raised their hands in the first place was less than 30 or 50.
Zhou Wang glanced around and casually clicked on a girl in the front row.
The girl was quite excited and stood speechless for a long time. However, with the encouragement of the two girls next to her, the blushing girl finally plucked up the courage:
"Senior Zhou Wang, um... what type of girl do you like?"
The boys burst into boos and laughter, and Zhou Wang was a little helpless.
"As long as you close your eyes, I don\'t have any hard requirements... everyone should pay attention and try not to ask questions that are irrelevant to the theme of the lecture."
Zhou Wang said something perfunctory and nodded again to a boy who raised his hand high.
"Senior Zhou, how did you counterattack later?"
As soon as this question came out, most people sat up straight and showed great interest, including Ni Hong and some other teachers standing in the background.
Many people have discussed this issue in the school\'s Tieba forum, but just like the netizens who are confused, no one can explain the reason.
At this time, it may be the first time Zhou Wang has answered this question in public.
Not to mention them, even Jiang Qingkui was a little curious. After all, she, Zhou Wang\'s "person around", actually knew nothing about Zhou Wang\'s experience in making a fortune.
She only knew that Zhou Wang had won the first prize in the lottery...
Zhou Wang, who was well prepared, thought for a moment, then smiled and said:
"If we talk about the initial accumulation of funds, it can be regarded as a bad luck. Well, let\'s put it this way. In 2021, I was deceived by a friend into downloading a software called ibox, and then I bought it for about 20 yuan. I bought more than three hundred copies of \'Chaos\'..."
After Zhou Wang said this, most people were at a loss, but a few people who knew the virtual collection software "ibox" were dumbfounded.
"Fuck!"
"Senior Zhou said how many copies of \'Chaos\' he bought?"
"My god, no wonder..."
When some people were yelling, the people next to them naturally rushed to ask questions. Fortunately, Zhou Wang took the initiative to answer their questions:
"Students who don\'t know, you can understand this \'Chaos\' as a kind of electronic collection. I bought it for 20 yuan at the time. Later, when I sold it, it happened to be at its peak price. The price of a piece of \'Chaos\' was probably close to 3 Ten thousand..."
"Fuck!"
"WTF..."
Zhou Wang\'s simple and clear explanation instantly caused the entire lecture theater to burst into uproar.
Even if you don\'t understand what electronic collection is, the simplest method of making profits, "buy low, sell high", is easy to understand.
Starting with 20 yuan, it was close to 30,000 yuan when sold, plus more than 300 units, which means that Zhou Wang has gained tens of millions of wealth in one go!
"Of course, this is just the first pot of gold I earned. Later, I made some profits from other investments. Today\'s time is limited, so I won\'t go into details. Interested students can wait until I can no longer survive. Go buy one when you earn money from books..."
"Hahaha!"
In the midst of laughter, this topic was dismissed.
At this time, another boy sitting in the back row raised his hand.
"That junior fellow student, please!"
Because he raised his hand so high, Zhou Wang called his name, and the student union cadre in charge trotted over and thrust the microphone into his hand.
The junior who stood up was not as excited as the others. He just looked at Zhou Wang, adjusted his glasses and asked: "Senior Zhou Wang, I heard that you were punished for fighting in college, so you didn\'t even get a degree certificate. Got it, is it true?"
The lecture hall fell silent for an instant, and all kinds of eyes mixed with surprise and suspicion gathered on Zhou Wang\'s face.
The faces of the school leaders on the podium also changed slightly. Principal Bai was surprised and looked at Director Wang of the Academic Affairs Office with unkind eyes. The meaning in his eyes was self-evident -
How come I didn\'t know about this?
Facing Principal Bai\'s stern eyes, the cold sweat on Director Wang\'s back suddenly flowed down... I don\'t know either!
Only then did he suddenly realize, no wonder Zhou Wang said "Long time no see".
However, the Academic Affairs Office handles so many student incidents every year, and most of the disciplinary records will be withdrawn from the files when students graduate. It is impossible for him, Director Wang, to handle these matters personally. How could he remember Zhou Wang?
At the same time, Lu Chen, who was standing in the back row, had joy in his eyes.
That senior junior was an acquaintance of his from the School of Economics. For one thousand yuan, Zhou Wang could make a fool of himself in public. This money was simply not worth it...
But what puzzled Lu Chen was that Zhou Wang didn\'t look panicked. He just smiled slightly and didn\'t even respond to the junior. He just looked in the direction of the rostrum with inquiry in his eyes.
When Director Wang of the Academic Affairs Office was still a little at a loss, Vice Principal Bai Lisheng glared at him, but he had already taken the microphone, and in the blink of an eye he turned into a smile:
"Let me explain this classmate\'s question."
The executive vice-principal spoke, and the eyes of all teachers and students naturally shifted subconsciously.
"When Zhou Wang was in school, he was indeed involved in a fight among students. However, after investigation by the school, it was found that Zhou Wang was a unilateral victim in the incident. Therefore, the so-called punishment is completely nonsense. Student Zhou Wang not only successfully obtained his degree certificate in law, but also obtained the qualification for postgraduate study. However, because of Zhou Wang\'s personal wishes, he chose to graduate directly..."
After Bai Lisheng finished explaining with a smile, he stared at the senior student who asked the question:
"Classmate, do you have any questions?"
"No, no more..."
The boy was stared at by Bai Lisheng, and then he realized that he seemed to have done something stupid. While sweating, he quickly waved his hand.
With Bai Lisheng\'s official endorsement, the students present no longer took this episode to heart, and the atmosphere in the lecture theater became lively again.
"Next."
Seeing Zhou Wangyun pick up the phone again calmly and continue to ask questions, Lu Chen\'s face was twisted and his heart kept roaring:
What the hell, Zhou Wang has obviously been punished...
You are confusing right and wrong and talking nonsense!
From the side, Wang Qiaobin\'s sneer with some disdain came again.
"Relieve sorrow."
