The school auditorium.
Lin Feng had just finished giving instructions to Huizi.
On stage, Senior Brother Wang Zongjie’s speech was coming to an end.
In stark contrast to the adoration in Yang Qiniang’s eyes beside him, Lin Feng appeared incredibly calm.
Although the speech was over and the audience was even beginning to disperse, the students of Yang City University were still lingering, wanting more.
Some even wanted to go up and speak with Senior Brother Wang Zongjie.
However, it was clear Wang Zongjie had other arrangements and had to politely decline.
Lin Feng, with Yang Qiniang in tow, turned to leave.
But unexpectedly, someone from behind called out to him.
It was none other than Wang Zongjie, the man who had just delivered the passionate speech on stage.
"Young man, if I’m not mistaken, you must be the ’campus celebrity’ from the latest school journal, right?"
Wang Zongjie said with a friendly smile, making small talk with Lin Feng.
At that moment, Old Luo still hadn’t left.
Seeing Wang Zongjie take the initiative to call out to Lin Feng, a gratified smile immediately appeared on Old Luo’s face.
"It looks like you two have things to discuss. It’s too crowded here. Why don’t you talk in the small conference room?"
Before Lin Feng could even say a word, their old teacher had pulled him into the small conference room.
Yang Qiniang followed them into the room as well.
Feeling that he had successfully played matchmaker, Old Luo left with the air of a worldly master whose work was done.
In the small conference room, Lin Feng calmly found a seat and sat down.
"I was wondering what Senior Brother Wang wanted to see me about?"
Wang Zongjie hadn’t expected Lin Feng to be so straightforward.
But he actually preferred this kind of direct conversation.
After so long in the business world, finding people who spoke their minds was harder than climbing to heaven.
"I read the latest edition of our school paper, and I very much admire your insights into the stock market."
As Wang Zongjie said this, he noticed Lin Feng’s expression remained unfazed by praise or criticism.
He showed no emotional fluctuation whatsoever at the compliment.
"I also noticed that the company you founded, Junior Lin, is an investment firm."
"Since you’re so forthright, I won’t beat around the bush either."
Wang Zongjie got straight to the point.
"Here’s the situation. My company currently has a development project for monocrystalline silicon."
"As you know, I started from scratch. So for this project, our company is in dire need of investors who can recognize a diamond in the rough."
Hearing this, Lin Feng basically understood what Wang Zongjie was getting at.
Wang Zongjie wanted to get investment funding from him.
’That’s not a problem in itself. After all, I’m open for business.’
’As long as the project has good investment prospects and can make money, why wouldn’t I invest?’
What concerned Lin Feng, however, was something else.
Wang Zongjie had been in the semiconductor industry for many years. It was impossible that he didn’t have any connections, yet he had come to *him* for an investment...
It made Lin Feng a little uneasy.
However, Lin Feng couldn’t ask about this directly.
So, Lin Feng replied with a bit more tact, "So, President Wang has such a project..."
"My investment firm has its own risk assessment team."
"How about this, President Wang? You can compile the relevant project documents, and I’ll have my company’s professionals review them. If I can help, I will do my best to help."
Lin Feng didn’t give a definitive ’no,’ but he didn’t give a definitive ’yes’ either.
This way, he left himself some wiggle room regardless of whether the project was suitable or not.
Wang Zongjie hadn’t expected that Lin Feng, a man who could become a campus celebrity, would be the type to agree at the drop of a hat.
This wasn’t school anymore.
It wasn’t a time to rely on personal connections.
This was business, and both sides were naturally focused on their own interests.
Therefore, Wang Zongjie had no objections to this outcome.
He took a business card from his pocket and handed it to Lin Feng.
"This is my card. If you have any questions about business or anything else, Junior Lin, feel free to contact me."
After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Wang Zongjie, Lin Feng turned and left the small conference room.
Wang Zongjie’s sudden olive branch also left Yang Qiniang a little confused.
"Why do you think Senior Brother Wang was suddenly so enthusiastic toward us? Was it just because of the investment?" Yang Qiniang asked, looking at Lin Feng beside him.
A faint smile touched Lin Feng’s lips. "Whatever his reason for being so enthusiastic, we’ll find out in due time."
For Lin Feng, as long as he could determine whether this monocrystalline silicon project truly had investment potential, he would be able to judge whether Wang Zongjie’s sudden friendly gesture was born of goodwill or malice.
However, Lin Feng was more inclined to believe it was goodwill.
After all, from any perspective, there was really no need for Wang Zongjie to come to the university just to scam his junior and ruin his own reputation.
But the specific details would have to wait for the assessment from the professionals on his company’s risk team.
In any case, Lin Feng wasn’t in a hurry.
Meanwhile, after Lin Feng left, Wang Zongjie quickly opened a mysterious WeChat group.
"This junior of ours is a vigilant and confident one."
"I have a very good impression of this junior. I hope he gets on board!"
The moment his message appeared in the group, countless lurkers immediately surfaced.
Having stirred the pot, Wang Zongjie silently retreated to watch the screen, his work done.
Lin Feng, of course, had no idea about this behind-the-scenes drama.
For Lin Feng, there was still one thing he needed to take care of.
Previously, the system had rewarded Lin Feng with a duplex apartment near Yang City University.
Because of the previous stock market affair, and on top of that, the business with Dingsheng Real Estate, Lin Feng hadn’t had time to go to the service center and pick up the keys to this duplex apartment.
Now that the Dingsheng Real Estate matter had come to a close, Lin Feng finally had some free time.
Leaving the university, Lin Feng drove to the service center to pick up the property.
The duplex apartment was located right near Yang City University.
After all, there were some high-end apartment complexes in the vicinity of the university town.
Their main target audience was, naturally, the rich second-generation kids who didn’t want to live in the dorms and had high standards for their quality of life.
Lin Feng was quite satisfied with receiving such an apartment.
Mainly because the system had been very thoughtful and chosen an apartment located on a straight line between his company and Yang City University.
From this apartment, it was very convenient to get to either the company or the university.
As Lin Feng was driving, he happened to pass by this high-end apartment complex.
He was quite pleased with the building style and the layout of the community.
When Lin Feng arrived at the sales center, he directly registered his name.
The manager at the sales center immediately helped Lin Feng complete the remaining procedures.
After all, the duplex apartment gifted to Lin Feng by the system was one of the best in the entire complex.
Moreover, the system’s usual style was to pay in full.
Very clean and efficient.
So, the staff at the sales center naturally understood that the young man before them was a major client.
"Mr. Lin, all the paperwork is complete," the manager said with a smile. "Here are your keys. Would you like us to show you the apartment?"
