"Now that the school journal is out, I have to buy a copy and take a look!"
Seeing everyone on campus with a copy in hand, Yang Qiniang was already itching with curiosity.
"Brother Feng, I’m off."
"I’m just so curious what they wrote about you in the journal."
Yang Qiniang immediately ran to a nearby newsstand and bought a copy of the school journal.
The journal was indeed beautifully designed.
The "Outstanding Students" section was a major feature in the journal.
And the cover featured a photo of Lin Feng.
Even though Lin Feng hadn’t put much thought into the photo he provided,
he was naturally quite handsome.
So even a random photo of him on the cover still gave off a high-class vibe.
"Not bad, Brother Feng! You look really handsome in this photo!"
Yang Qiniang tapped the picture on the cover.
Lin Feng, standing beside him, just smiled faintly without a word.
Just then, some students walking down the path seemed to recognize Lin Feng.
As Lin Feng walked on with Yang Qiniang, he could see some students nearby casting timid glances their way.
’Looks like the school journal’s influence is pretty significant after all.’
Yang Qiniang had already flipped the journal to Lin Feng’s feature.
It detailed the entire interview with Lin Feng.
During the interview, the professor had asked questions on a whim, focusing more on finance and stock market knowledge.
As a result, the entire article read less like a student interview and more like a financial news report—
one filled with both practical and theoretical knowledge, at that.
Most students at Yang City University were loyal readers of the school journal.
Some had even read all the past issues.
So they had a pretty good idea of the people on the journal’s staff.
When they saw that the editor-in-chief had extended the invitation and the deputy editor had conducted the interview, they immediately knew how much weight the article carried.
Yang Qiniang quickly finished reading the article.
He turned to Lin Feng and gave him a thumbs-up.
At the end of each subsection, the editor-in-chief had added a short commentary.
It was clear the editor-in-chief held Lin Feng in very high regard.
He even strongly agreed with some of Lin Feng’s viewpoints.
This, in turn, subtly instilled a sense of admiration for Lin Feng in everyone who read the article.
He was a student, just like them, yet Lin Feng had not only founded his own company
but had also used real capital to trade on the stock market.
He even had his own insights and experience.
For most students, these were achievements they could only dream of.
Yang Qiniang and Lin Feng chatted as they walked.
They hadn’t gone more than a few steps and were nearing the main auditorium when Lin Feng was stopped.
A cute girl with almond-shaped eyes blocked his path.
"Classmate Lin, could you give me an autograph?"
"I read your feature in the school journal, and I’m a big fan..."
It was clear that the girl, the first to brave it, was very nervous.
Yang Qiniang, standing beside them, let out a "Wow!" "Brother Feng, you’ve got fans already!"
Lin Feng saw a blush spread across the girl’s face; she was clearly very shy and nervous.
So Lin Feng smiled faintly, took the paper and pen from her, and signed his name.
He also added a short message: "Success is for those who are prepared."
The girl hadn’t expected Lin Feng to be so approachable.
Clutching the notebook, she stood there with a silly, happy grin.
But Lin Feng and Yang Qiniang didn’t want to be late for the lecture.
The two of them headed into the main auditorium without stopping.
Meanwhile, some other students who had stopped nearby had recognized Lin Feng long ago.
They just lacked the courage this girl had to stop Lin Feng and ask for an autograph.
So, in the end, they could only watch in envy as the girl clutched her notebook.
"I should’ve gone up and asked for an autograph too!"
"Hey, if I managed to impress Classmate Lin, I might not even have to worry about finding a job after graduation!"
a passing male student said.
His companion blinked and replied, "Really? Lin Feng’s company isn’t that big yet. Senior Wang Zongjie’s company, on the other hand, is huge."
The first student sneered. "That just shows how little you know. In all these years, how many people featured in our school journal have ended up achieving less than Senior Wang Zongjie? That’s exactly why so many people subscribe to the journal."
Another male student nearby chimed in:
"Don’t just look at where Classmate Lin’s company is right now. It might not compare to the companies of the seniors previously interviewed by the journal."
"But his potential is enormous."
"Joining now is the best option. If we wait until the company is fully established, there won’t be much room for growth for new hires."
"Besides, do you really think a company with several hundred million in capital is a ’small company’?"
Clearly, this was someone who got it.
Of course, Lin Feng had no idea that after he left, he had become the subject of discussion out on the path.
By now, Lin Feng and Yang Qiniang had arrived at the main auditorium.
The main auditorium was already packed.
Clearly, everyone was quite interested in this type of lecture.
This was partly because Senior Wang Zongjie had also been featured in the school journal before, so everyone held a certain degree of admiration for him.
Lin Feng had originally planned to find a couple of empty seats in the back with Yang Qiniang.
The front rows were completely full, so there was no way to squeeze in.
And to be honest, Lin Feng wasn’t particularly interested in the lecture.
If it didn’t count for course credit, Lin Feng probably wouldn’t have even come.
However, before Lin Feng and Yang Qiniang could make it to the back, they were stopped by their head teacher, Old Luo.
"What took you two so long?"
"Lin Feng, come sit here. You’re the star of this journal issue; how can you sit in the back?"
Old Luo was beaming with pride.
After all, Lin Feng was his student. Having him featured in the school journal reflected well on Old Luo.
There really weren’t any seats left in the front, but after seeing Lin Feng, a few students immediately recognized him as the star from the school journal.
Two male students stood up and offered their seats to Lin Feng and Yang Qiniang.
"Classmate Lin, you two can sit here."
Since everyone was insisting so kindly, Lin Feng didn’t bother looking for seats in the back anymore.
Almost as soon as Lin Feng sat down, the speakers took their seats on the stage at the front of the auditorium.
Right in the center was Wang Zongjie.
The moment Wang Zongjie sat down, the audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.
The lecture was primarily for Wang Zongjie to share his entrepreneurial journey and some life lessons.
For Lin Feng, there wasn’t much of interest.
After all, the path Lin Feng was on was completely different from Wang Zongjie’s.
But Lin Feng noticed that most of the students around him were listening with rapt attention.
Some even had looks of adoration on their faces.
’It seems Wang Zongjie is quite an idol in their eyes.’
