And Qin Xiuyan, who was still thinking about which country he should send Ao Ruizhe to so that it would be convenient for him to go sleep with him later: “…”

What kind of development was this?

But none of that mattered anymore.

The principal immediately grabbed Ao Ruizhe’s hand. He was so excited he could barely contain himself, especially when he remembered what Ao Ruizhe had said earlier—asking Magellan to build a factory in Haishi specifically for manufacturing electronic products and use it as an internship base for their school. “Student Xia, Student Xia…”

Not to mention that Ao Ruizhe had, in a single breath, donated another 120 million M yuan to the school. To say something that most people probably wouldn’t believe—the entire Haishi Vocational College of Electronic Technology, with its dozens of teaching buildings and dormitories combined, wasn’t even worth 750 million.

So by now, he truly had no idea what he should say anymore.

That made what came next very simple.

The first person to react was Qin Xiuyan.

He immediately took out his phone and called the manager of the logistics department, telling him to pull the surveillance footage from the reception room from that morning and send it over.

What he had to be thankful for was that, fortunately, his secretary had found Xia Lewen too filthy and therefore hadn’t invited him into Qin Xiuyan’s office, only into an ordinary reception room instead.

And like many other companies, Wanhai also had a habit of installing surveillance cameras in its reception rooms.

Thus, half an hour later, a topic titled “Xia Lewen’s True Face” shot straight to the top of the trending list.

It was right around lunchtime, so the many netizens who had habitually taken out their phones to scroll Weibo while eating: [“…”]

The upper-class people of Qianshi, who had just finished making a round of sympathetic comments about Ao Ruizhe after hearing some rumors: [“…”]

Weibo exploded instantly.

[Xia Lewen wasn’t he just saying at the press conference a few days ago that Xia Ruizhe had misunderstood him? And now only a few days later, he’s already impatiently yelling about blacklisting Xia Ruizhe?]

[What do you mean, “As long as President Qin is willing to cooperate with the Xia family, the Xia family is willing to put up two billion to invest in Wanhai’s TV dramas and cinema projects”?]

[Here’s a joke for you: when Xia Yuanzheng said he felt sorry toward Xia Ruizhe’s family and was willing to put up one billion as compensation, Xia Lewen’s fans were still shouting from the sidelines that the Xia family giving Xia Ruizhe this much money already showed a lot of sincerity.
And then Xia Lewen turned right around and took out two billion to blacklist Xia Ruizhe—]

[And to think we really did believe the lies of those three bastards from the Xia family before.]

[No wonder Xia Lewen went into the entertainment industry. With the acting skills of that family of three, it would be a waste if they didn’t.]

Xia Lewen’s fans were already dumbfounded.

[Impossible. This absolutely can’t be real.]

[Wanhai must be deliberately framing our Lele.]

Xia Ruizhe’s fans were so angry they laughed. [Wanhai is framing your Xia Lewen? Weren’t those words spoken by his own mouth?]

Xia Lewen’s fans were just about to argue back when, before they could finish typing, dozens of notifications suddenly popped up at the top of their screens—people were frantically @-ing them, telling them to go look at the official Weibo of Haishi Vocational College of Electronic Technology.

When they opened the school’s official Weibo, they saw that just three minutes earlier, the school had posted a new message. In it, written in the principal’s voice, it harshly condemned the fact that only a few hours earlier, Su Yiyue—the wife of Xia family head Xia Yuanzheng and Xia Lewen’s mother—had come to his home and tried to threaten and bribe him into falsely accusing Xia Ruizhe of breaking laws and regulations by buying an experimental design and passing it off as his own graduation project.

Xia Lewen’s fans were stunned on the spot.

The netizens, meanwhile, laughed in fury. [Leaving aside everything else, if I remember correctly, Xia Ruizhe is also Su Yiyue’s biological son, right? And yet the person who was still saying one moment ago that she had always treated Xia Lewen and Xia Ruizhe equally was, the very next moment, trying to send Xia Ruizhe to prison for Xia Lewen’s sake—no, for her own sake too.]

[Do you know what the most outrageous part is? The most outrageous part is that Su Yiyue said that if the Xia family gave the word, then next year, the more than eight thousand graduates of Haishi Vocational College of Electronic Technology wouldn’t be able to find internship positions anywhere in Haishi… and in the future the school should forget about ever receiving full government educational support funds again.
What does that prove? It proves that those upper-class people knew the truth of the whole matter from the very start—
and only we were being played like monkeys, spun around in circles by them!]

[I thought something was strange from the very beginning. Did they really think the school leadership of Haishi Vocational College of Electronic Technology were all idiots, that they would let Xia Ruizhe cheat right in front of them and still pass the assessment to change his graduation topic? But the moment I posted my comment, it was instantly buried under all those comments congratulating Xia Lewen on returning to his ancestral roots.]

Xia Lewen’s fans still clung to a shred of hope. [Impossible. Fake. This is absolutely fake.]

[Wanhai and Haishi Vocational College of Electronic Technology must have been bribed by Xia Ruizhe. That’s why they’re teaming up to slander our Lele.]

This time, before Xia Ruizhe’s fans could even reply, the rest of the netizens had already swarmed in.

[The biggest joke of 2022: Wanhai Entertainment, with a market value of nearly ten billion, and a proper public university, were bribed by a third-tier little celebrity.]

[The best part is, do you all still remember what you said a few days ago—that Xia Ruizhe probably wouldn’t be able to earn even five hundred million in his entire life? So what exactly did he use to bribe Wanhai and Haishi Vocational College of Electronic Technology? Your intelligence?]

…

[Holy shit, stop wasting breath arguing with these brain-dead fans and go check the trending topics—tons of universities have come out in support of Haishi Vocational College of Electronic Technology.]

[What?]

[It’s actually true—even Jingcheng University reposted Haishi Vocational College of Electronic Technology’s Weibo.]

[Isn’t Haishi Vocational College of Electronic Technology just a junior college? Why are so many key universities speaking up for them?]

[Haishi Vocational College of Electronic Technology may only be a junior college, sure, but their principal, vice principals, and professors are at the very least graduates of top universities. One phone call back to their alma maters—even if those universities can’t help much, reposting a statement is easy enough, isn’t it?
After all, the Xia family only dares bully a junior college. Let’s see whether they dare say even half a harsh word to those key universities.]

…

And as public opinion continued to ferment, by that afternoon the stocks of Xiafeng Group, Baiwei Group, Chaoyang Technology, and others all hit the daily down limit. Baiwei Group and Chaoyang Technology just so happened to be the companies owned by those people who had publicly stood up for the Xia family that day, declaring that Xia Yuanzheng and Su Yiyue’s past relationship really was common knowledge in the Qianshi business circle.

And for the Xia family, the crisis they faced was far from limited to that.

“Chairman Xia, Mr. Chen from Baiwei Group, Ms. Liao from Chaoyang Technology… they’ve all come to the door, saying they want an explanation from you.”

“Family Head, Third Granduncle and Second Master have all arrived too. They say they want an explanation from you.”

…

Xia Lewen’s eyes were red. “Qin Xiuyan, Chen Shulian, all of them… how dare they do this?”

But he quickly had no time to think about that, because in the very next second Xia Yuanzheng directly raised his hand and slapped him hard across the face. “I told you to solve Xia Ruizhe within two months, not to hand your own weaknesses over to him.”

He truly could not understand how he, Xia Yuanzheng, brilliant all his life, had ended up producing such a useless son.

The slap sent Xia Lewen straight to the floor. His left cheek swelled up instantly, and he couldn’t recover for quite some time.

As for Su Yiyue, standing at the side, she didn’t even dare go help him up. She shrank her neck and hardly dared breathe.

Fortunately, Xia Yuanzheng calmed down soon enough.

Because at this point, even beating Xia Lewen to death wouldn’t help.

He shouted angrily, “Investigate. Get someone to investigate immediately. Find out why Wanhai and Haishi Vocational College of Electronic Technology dared to stand on Xia Ruizhe’s side and oppose the Xia family—”

But in fact, there was no need for him to investigate at all.

Because shortly afterward, Haishi Vocational College of Electronic Technology made another Weibo post.

[“Today, Haishi Vocational College of Electronic Technology is proud of Xia Ruizhe!!!
Warm congratulations to Xia Ruizhe, third-year student of the Chemistry major in the School of Chemical Engineering at our college, whose graduation project has obtained eight global patents and reached cooperation agreements with Magellan, Frank, and Nuovo.
#photo#
#photo#”]

And weren’t those photos exactly pictures of the authorization contracts Ao Ruizhe had signed with Magellan, Frank, and Nuovo, plus a group photo of him shaking hands with the representatives of the three companies after signing the contracts?

[“…In addition, the three companies have restricted Ao Ruizhe from selling the usage rights of those eight patents to companies in countries other than China, but they do not restrict him from selling those rights to Chinese mobile phone companies, and for this they each paid Ao Ruizhe a signing fee of sixty million M yuan.”]

[Sixty million M yuan from one company—so one hundred and eighty million M yuan from three companies. Calculated out, that’s nearly 1.1 billion Chinese yuan…]

[“…Th-this, how is this even possible?”]

[Wasn’t Xia Ruizhe supposed to be just some academically hopeless vocational student who scored only a little over 200 on the college entrance exam and barely scraped by on ordinary tests?]

[So do you think it might really be the way Xia Lewen’s fans said—that Xia Ruizhe bought an experimental design at a high price and wanted to hype himself up?]

[???]

[???????]

[Brother, if you’re really still not awake, go back to sleep. That is an invention whose signing fee alone was worth one billion. If it were you, would you sell it? And besides, does Xia Ruizhe even have that kind of money to buy it?]

[So these patents were most likely really invented by Xia Ruizhe himself…]

[Ha. I really must still be dreaming.]

But very soon, no one had time to dwell on that anymore, because Haishi Vocational College of Electronic Technology posted yet another Weibo.

[“Many thanks to our outstanding alumnus, Xia Ruizhe, third-year student of the Chemistry major in the School of Chemical Engineering, for his generous donation of 120 million M yuan in educational support funding to our college.
At the same time, he also plans to invest 60 million M yuan, together with Magellan, to build a large-scale electronics processing factory in Haishi to serve as an internship base for graduating students of Haishi Vocational College of Electronic Technology.
Principal Chen Shulian of Haishi Vocational College of Electronic Technology leads the college’s 803 faculty members and staff, as well as all 19,343 students, in expressing the sincerest gratitude to student Xia Ruizhe!”]

All the netizens following the situation went numb once again.

[???]

[Some people graduate for decades and still don’t dare attend a university reunion. Some people haven’t even graduated yet and are already an outstanding alumnus of their alma mater!!!]

[So in other words, after Xia Ruizhe got the 180 million M yuan signing fee from those companies, he turned right around and donated all of it to Haishi Vocational College of Electronic Technology?]

[This isn’t the earlier fifteen million. This is one billion. Xia Ruizhe actually just donated it like that…]

Immediately afterward came the school’s fourth Weibo post.

[“Upholding the principles of fairness, efficiency, justice, and integrity, and with the consent of student Xia Ruizhe, Haishi Vocational College of Electronic Technology will use the 750 million yuan donated by student Xia Ruizhe according to the following distribution plan:

1. Purchase experimental instruments and build high-level laboratories.
   #purchase list#
   Estimated cost for this project: 200 million yuan.
2. Within six months, fully renovate all five teaching buildings, three laboratory buildings, twelve dormitory buildings, two cafeterias, and two sports grounds… Install elevators and air conditioning in the teaching buildings; install air conditioning, water heaters, washing machines, and microwave ovens in the dormitory buildings; convert all original eight-person dorm rooms into three-person dorm rooms.
   Estimated cost for this project: 90 million yuan.
3. Purchase 1,200 mu of land located 1.3 kilometers away from the college, next to the Chende Pharmaceutical Factory, to build a new campus and faculty welfare housing.
   Estimated cost for this project: 280 million yuan.
   #design blueprint#
   …”]

When everyone clicked open the design blueprint, they saw that on the neat, square plan, the left side was the new campus of Haishi Vocational College of Electronic Technology, occupying about 900 mu, while on the right side—except for the six twenty-story buildings on the outermost edge—everything else was row upon row of identical townhouses. At a glance, there had to be no fewer than a hundred of them.

[“…”]

[Wasn’t it supposed to be that schools only renovate the teaching buildings and dorms after you graduate? Is this treatment I can actually enjoy before graduating???]

[Verified as a student from Qianshi University: I’m jealous!]

[Verified as a student from Wusheng Agricultural Science and Technology Vocational College: I’m jealous too, and I’m throwing a green rice dumpling at Haishi Vocational College of Electronic Technology!]

[Even so, three-person dorms with air conditioning, water heaters, washing machines, and microwaves—the tuition and dorm fees are probably going to explode.]

And right at that moment, the school’s fifth Weibo post came.

[“All students are welcome to apply to our college. We hereby solemnly promise that after the renovation is complete, tuition and dormitory fees will absolutely not be increased.
At the same time, we once again thank our outstanding alumnus, Xia Ruizhe, third-year student of the Chemistry major in the School of Chemical Engineering, because he has decided to allocate 50% of the future income from those eight patents to establish the Xia Zhou Inspirational Scholarship.
From now on, for any student enrolled in our college, if their year-end exam results rank within the top 10% of their class, their tuition for that year will be waived, and in the following academic year they will receive a monthly meal subsidy of 500 yuan. Those ranking between the top 30% and top 10% will have half their tuition waived and receive a monthly meal subsidy of 200 yuan in the following academic year. Those ranking between the top 60% and top 30% will have one-third of their tuition waived and receive a monthly meal subsidy of 100 yuan in the following academic year.
Students who win municipal-level awards while enrolled will receive 1,000 yuan; provincial-level awards, 3,000 yuan; national-level awards, 30,000 yuan; and world-level awards, anywhere from 100,000 yuan to 1,000,000 yuan.
Students who publish papers in provincial-level journals will receive 2,000 yuan; in national-level journals, 10,000 yuan; in core journals, 30,000 yuan; and in top international journals, anywhere from 100,000 yuan to 1,000,000 yuan.
…”]

[????????]

[If you try even a little hard, getting into Haishi Vocational College of Electronic Technology won’t be going to school anymore—it’ll be going to work and make money ahead of time.]

Close on its heels came the sixth Weibo post.

The netizens: [“…”]

[Townhouses? You mean those hundred-plus townhouses they’re planning to build next to the new campus from the fourth Weibo post?]

[I checked the location and then checked the prices of nearby developments. The prices for the newly built developments there are all around 8,000 per square meter. And note—that’s still just for elevator apartments. So one townhouse has to be worth at least four or five million, right?]

[So this talent recruitment package is already on par with this year’s talent recruitment plan from Jingcheng University!!!!]

The key universities that had originally been willing to speak up in support of Haishi Vocational College of Electronic Technology out of sympathy: [“…”]

The clown was me all along!!!
