636 When Outstanding People Act, They Will Surely Get It Done!
Who was Zeng Fanlu?
He was the deputy head of administration, and the top dog at Fudan University.
Even if Brandon’s family background was impressive, he had to respect the man in front of him.
“Principal Zeng, that’s not what I meant,” Brandon said politely.
“Our International Student Association protects the interests of all international students. Now that someone is threatening to dissolve us, I think Principal Zeng should stand up and help us resolve this matter.”
“Then I would like to know, which of your interests has been violated?” Zeng Fanlu asked.
This simple sentence rendered Brandon and the others speechless.
He stammered for a long time. Lin Yi’s threats did not threaten anything substantial.
“You people come from all over the world. In order to be mindful of the cultures of different regions, we have given special care and preferential treatment to all of you. These terms have also been implemented very thoroughly in other schools throughout Zhonghai. So, tell me, who has violated your interests?”
“Two of my overseas student friends were beaten up. Isn’t that enough?”
“This is a public security issue and also an exception to the problem. Such things happen every day worldwide,” Zeng Fanlu said.
“There are many Huaxian students in Meiguo who are often bullied by the locals, so you can’t blame the school for this. You should go to the police station to get help.”
“But we’ve already called the police. Not only did they not help, they even fined us 200,000 yuan!”
Zeng Fanlu leaned back in his chair and looked at Brandon and the others.
“I’ve heard about this. Of the 200,000 yuan, 140,000 yuan was for the meal. The remaining 60,000 yuan was compensation to the small shop. This was written clearly in the civil mediation letter. Wasn’t the sum justified? You’ve been in Fudan for a little more than a year. Don’t let your alma mater down.”
“This is obviously a scam. It’s bullying!”
“Alright.” Duan Yongchun waved his hand and said,
“You know the truth behind what happened. Don’t argue about it anymore.”
“Furthermore, you are here to study. Organizations like the International Students Association are superficial and have no substantial effect. I think from today onwards, Fudan University’s International Students Association will be dissolved. All of you should focus on your studies and not think about other things all day. As students, you should prioritize your studies.”
Brandon looked excited. “Are you going to drop this matter?”
“Do you think our arrangement is unreasonable?” Duan Yongchun asked.
“Of course it’s unreasonable. You’re exploiting our rights. This is wrong!”
“Is it unreasonable to ban the International Student Association?” Duan Yongchun said cunningly.
“Then tell me, what kind of benefits do you want to fight for with this International Student Association?”
“When we’re bullied, there should be a place for us to complain to. There are many Huaxian associations in Meiguo. Why are you banning them in Huaxia?”
“Since you brought up Meiguon standards, we’ll do this according to your rules,” Duan Yongchun said.
“From now on, all the special regulations surrounding international students will be canceled. Your dormitories will be changed to four-person rooms. All reserved independent self-study rooms will also be canceled. In terms of the curriculum, you will get the same lesson plans as the other students. I’ll get the school committee to announce this later. You can also tell the other international students that it will be implemented starting tomorrow.”
Brandon’s eyes widened. He had never thought that Duan Yongchun would come up with such a solution.
If all their benefits were canceled, they would suffer greatly.
“Why did you cancel our benefits?!” Brandon said excitedly.
“That’s because all the universities in Meiguo treat everyone equally. They don’t give any preferential treatment to Huaxian students. Why don’t you agree when the same applies to you?”
Brandon’s anger was written all over his face.
He could not understand why the two principals were biased toward that group of people.
“Principal Zeng, Principal Duan, if you don’t help us solve the problem, we will have to apply to withdraw.”
“Yes, we will drop out of school!” Some students from Fudan University said.
Zeng Fanlu’s gaze was deep as he looked at Brandon and the others.
“There are students from other schools among you. It’s not convenient for me to deal with them, but those of you who are from this school, please step forward and let me see who you are.”
Brandon took a step forward, and then four more students stepped forward behind him.
“We’re all students of this school,” Brandon said, pride in his eyes.
“Go back and write a withdrawal application, then hand it over to the school committee immediately. I’ll get them to sign it.”
Brandon and the others were dumbfounded.
He did not expect Zeng Fanlu to say such a thing.
Was he really going to expel all of them?
“Principal Zeng, there are more than 1,000 international students in Fudan University. Are you really going to do this?” Brandon said in disbelief.
“We respect the wishes of our students. If you are really thinking of this, I will not stop you,” Zeng Fanlu said lightly.
“Even without you guys, Fudan University will still continue to exist. You have to do what is best for yourselves.”
If it were any other school, such a threat might work, but in front of Zeng Fanlu, it was useless.
It was really stupid to say this in front of a deputy minister.
“Principal Zeng, Principal Duan, although you rejected our request, we won’t give up so easily.”
With that, Brandon left the office with the others.
Duan Yongchun gave Zeng Fanlu a thumbs up.
“Although you’re old, you’re still as bold as before.”
“I was spoiling them,” Zeng Fanlu said.
“Go to the school committee tomorrow and tell them to cancel all the international students’ benefits.”
“This idea just might work, and it’ll be a good start for Huaxia’s universities.”
…
After leaving school, Lin Yi brought his men to Metropolis.
On the way, Lin Yi received a call from Ji Qingyan.
“Where did you go? Why aren’t you doing any business today? Don’t tell me you’ve gotten lazy.”
As Ji Qingyan was busy with work, she did not have the time to pay attention to other things and did not know that the store had been destroyed.
After a busy day, she realized that she hadn’t received any money today and called Lin Yi.
Lin Yi did not hide anything and told her everything that had happened.
This was because he couldn’t hide it even if he wanted to. She would find out sooner or later.
“Our shop was destroyed?” She was both angry and surprised to hear this news.
“We didn’t provoke anyone. Who would do such a wicked thing?”
“It’s obviously one of the lady boss’ former suitors.”
“Hmm? My suitor?”
Lin Yi recounted the second half of the story, and Ji Qingyan finally understood what was going on.
“Why did we run into that guy?”
“I was surprised, too. You just told me about him, and we met the next day.”
“Let’s ignore him. In any case, the matter has been resolved successfully. He probably won’t come looking for any more trouble in the future.”
“I don’t think that will be the case.”
“Where are you now? I’ll come to look for you.”
“Go home first. I have quite a few people here. I’ll bring them around Metropolis, and we’ll go back after fooling around for a while.”
“Fooling around is one thing, but you can’t do anything else,” warned Ji Qingyan.
“Those girls can’t even compare to your toes. Am I sick enough to downgrade like that?”
“Hmph, that’s more like it.”
“You’ve been quite tired working over the past week. Take this opportunity to relax. I’ll definitely be fine at home alone. You don’t have to rush back, but remember to give me a call before you come back.”
‘Um…’
The word ‘definitely’ sounded awkward.
Shouldn’t I go home first?
“In that case, I won’t be joining them. Let’s go home.”
“Why aren’t you joining them?” Ji Qingyan asked. “Qin Han and the rest have helped you so much, so you should at least thank them. Go have fun. Don’t be in a hurry to come back.”
Lin Yi, “…”
The more you act like this, the more I want to go back!
After chatting with Ji Qingyan for a while, Lin Yi hung up and celebrated until the latter half of the night.
When they came out of Metropolis, the four of them were slightly tipsy.
“Brother Lin, what’s the plan?” Liang Jinming asked.
“I want to go to the shop and see how things are going.”
“Then let’s go. We have nothing to do, so let’s go and take a look together.”
Because they had drunk alcohol, the four of them did not drive their own cars. Instead, they got into the Qin Han’s Aston and drove towards the small shop.
To Lin Yi’s surprise, the store had all but returned to its original state.
Everything that had been smashed had been replaced with new ones. The new paint was being dried.
The kitchen had also been cleaned up, and the necessary ingredients were arranged neatly.
Although there was some post-production decoration work that still needed time to be completed, it was already ready for business.
Lin Yi didn’t worry about appearances anymore.
The store’s reputation had already spread far and wide. Even without relying on decor, there would still be an endless stream of customers waiting to eat his food.
Therefore, as long as the paint on the wall was dry, it would be able to operate normally.
“Brother Lin, what do you think? If there’s anything you’re dissatisfied with, I’ll get my subordinates to change it,” Zhong Zhenwen said.
“Everything’s fine. You’ve worked hard.”
Lin Yi went to the kitchen to make a pot of tea. He wanted to drink some tea to sober up and get rid of the smell of alcohol.
Other than that, he also ate some food prepared in advance.
An overnight meal was the best ingredient to make egg fried rice.
“What are you guys busy with now?” Lin Yi asked casually as he drank his tea.
“Eating, drinking, and having fun. We take care of our companies while we’re at it.”
“I have a job I need your help with,” Lin Yi said.
“Brother Lin, what is it?” Gao Zongyuan said casually.
“Recently, I’ve been researching a new mobile phone system, but I’ve encountered some trouble with the development of the mobile phone ecosystem. The three of you can help me get a few apps developed on it. Any team that develops a new system application will be subsidized between 100,000 to 1 million yuan. When the time comes, I’ll transfer a billion yuan to each of you.”
Zhong Zhenwen’s heart trembled when he heard this number.
His family’s company’s market value was less than a billion yuan. Brother Lin had casually spent three billion yuan on this. The difference in levels between them was too great.
“You’re going to start making phones?”
“Yes, that’s the plan.”
Qin Han pursed his lips. “This industry is already saturated. Let’s not talk about anything else. Take Old Ren’s Huawei for example. You definitely won’t be able to beat him. You’ll be beaten up.”
“The phone is just a cover. Didn’t I say it just now? What I want to do is build the system. The phone is only secondary.”
“Then just do it under the name of Lingyun Group. Don’t ask us to handle it,” Gao Zongyuan said.
“That’s alright, but ever since the short-selling war ended, I feel that Lingyun Group and Longxin have been under fire, so we have to divert their firepower and use others as a smokescreen first.”
“This sounds good.” Qin Han said.
“However, the development of an ecosystem is really important. Previously, many companies wanted to independently develop mobile phone systems, but they all ended up dying.”
“That’s why we have to be serious about this,” Lin Yi said, “We can’t be careless.”
“That’s not a problem.” Liang Jinming said, “But I feel like we can’t cast a wide net. We have to be more focused.”
“What do you mean? Tell me.”
“Think about it. The main users of smartphones now are basically young people, so the construction of the new ecosystem should mainly target young people for the time being.”
“And?”
“So, we should focus on supporting apps with social and gaming attributes,” Liang Jinming said.
“If you don’t believe me, look at these young people’s phones. Pretty much all of them have a few dating apps.”
“What the f*ck, your plan is so cool!” Gao Zongyuan said, “In that case, I’ve also decided on creating a browser app.”
“Browser app?”
“That’s right. It will allow you to access any website. Moreover, it will support online playback!”
“That’s even worse,” Liang Jinming said.
Lin Yi rubbed his chin. “Although these two projects are a little flashy, they’re good ideas.”
Lin Yi decided that the social networking and browser projects would be left to Sun Fuyu.
When outstanding people act, they will surely get it done!
