Chapter 241: I have a great scholar to argue for me
"...Success certainly requires opportunities, but hard work will always shorten your waiting time. Juniors and juniors, I sincerely wish you all the best to be the one who seizes opportunities. I am Zhou Wang, thank you all!"
Amid warm applause and screams, Zhou Wang said this after answering the last question.
At this point, the publicity activity has come to an end, but some people still remember Zhou Wang's initial promise. A boy shouted: "Mr. Zhou, what is the little gift you are talking about?"
"I thought you would be embarrassed to mention it. It seems that everyone is very thick-skinned..."
Zhou Wang made another joke, causing a burst of laughter, and then he said seriously: "Since I have already said it, of course I have to have a gift, it is not something very expensive, it is just a game activation code for everyone here. "
"game?"
Everyone was surprised at first, and then a boy reacted and shouted excitedly: "Is this the activation code for "Black Myth: Wukong"?"
"Bingo!"
Zhou Wang smiled and said: "Yes, after much thought, perhaps it is most appropriate to treat this as a greeting gift for everyone. Of course, if you don't have an adapted computer, it's none of my business."
"Damn it, Mr. Zhou is so arrogant!"
"I'm just planning to squeeze out this month's living expenses to buy one, hahaha, Mr. Zhou is awesome..."
"That idiot Huang Chao still thinks this kind of activity is boring. If he knew that he could get the activation code of "Black Myth" for free, he would probably regret it to death!"
"Yeah, I was planning to give one to my boyfriend...my best friend, and my senior helped me save money!"
As the most popular domestic AAA game recently, even people who don't pay attention to this game have heard of it more or less. Especially for the student party, Zhou Wang's gift is simply not too timely.
The activation code of the ordinary version is worth 268 yuan, which is not a burden for ordinary salarymen, but for the student party, it is not a small amount of money.
There were about two hundred people in the audience. Looking at this wave of gifts, they realized that their expenses were about fifty or sixty thousand yuan, which is just a sprinkling of water...
"Of course, I know there must be some people who don't play games, or have already bought them. Then there is a second option, which is the JD voucher, which is also worth 268 yuan. It can be used in all categories of the platform without any threshold. I have entrusted the school youth league committee to help Distribute gifts. If you want vouchers, just tell them..."
Zhou Wang added another sentence, causing everyone to cheer.
...
The lecture activity officially ended, and the participating students were led by another teacher from the Youth League Committee and boarded the return bus while still having unfinished discussions.
Some of the lucky ones got photos with Zhou Wang and autographs at the end, and posted them on WeChat Moments on the spot, making others envious.
On the other side, Principal Bai and others accompanied Zhou Wang to visit the campus.
It is said to be a visit, but in fact it is just a stroll.
What's interesting is that neither Bai Lisheng nor Zhou Wang tacitly mentioned the previous punishment.
The only thing was that after the event, Director Wang from the Teaching Office disappeared silently, and he didn't know what he was doing.
Under the cover of green ginkgo trees, Bai Lisheng and Zhou Wang were walking slightly ahead. Behind them were Jiang Qingkui and Ni Hong, and behind them were Dean Qin, Professor Wang and others who were accompanying the guests. Wang Qiaobin was also among them.
Fortunately, Wang Qiaobin, who has a good family background, is quite familiar with these situations, and chatted and laughed with Dean Qin and others without showing any timidity, otherwise a young man would have been embarrassed to death.
"Mr. Zhou, these scenery should be very familiar now. After all, you have only been away for more than two months."
Bai Lisheng said with a smile, and gave Zhou Wang another cigarette, pretending to help Zhou Wang light it, but Zhou Wang refused.
"The scenery hasn't changed much, but the mood is still the same."
Zhou Wang responded with a smile.
"Mr. Zhou has gone from adversity to good times and has rich experience. 'Looking at a mountain is not a mountain, looking at a mountain is still a mountain.' It takes people like us decades to experience things. Mr. Zhou has probably experienced it in advance, and his mood is naturally different."
Bai Lisheng said with emotion, then smiled and said: "I heard that Mr. Zhou returned to his alma mater in high school some time ago. I wonder if there is any difference in feelings when comparing the two?"
Zhou Wang glanced at Bai Lisheng and laughed: "The university campus must be more familiar to me. After all, this is the place where my life has undergone transformation. I have always been grateful to Caida for cultivating me..."
The school magazine reporter following behind immediately wrote in a small notebook: "We visited the campus hand in hand and reminisced about the past. Vice President Bai Lisheng praised Zhou Wang as a typical representative of young people who rely on hard work to fight back in life. Zhou Wang said that at Cai Da He benefited a lot from the four years he attended, and his subsequent success is inseparable from the all-round education at his alma mater..."
"President Zhou is so generous. I couldn't believe it when I saw the news. Someone can donate eight figures to a high school. From this perspective, it is also a blessing to be President Zhou's alma mater!"
Bai Lisheng said jokingly.
Zhou Wang just smiled, but did not answer immediately. Bai Lisheng pondered for a moment, and then continued: "Actually, there is one more thing to invite President Zhou back to school today. I need to ask President Zhou's opinion in person."
"What's up?"
Zhou Wangqi said.
"Mr. Zhou was just elected as one of the 'Top Ten Outstanding Young People in Jingcheng' this year. I don't know if you have paid attention to it. In fact, the selection of the 'Top Ten Outstanding Young People in Yunnan Province' is about to begin."
Top ten outstanding young people in Yunnan Province?
Zhou Wang was slightly startled, "I really haven't paid attention to this, I just saw some news before..."
"Different from the selection in prefectures and cities, the process for the top ten outstanding youths at the provincial level is much more serious. When it was first established, the selection was held every two years. Later, due to various reasons, the selection time was continuously lengthened, but here we We have received recommendation forms jointly issued by a total of 12 units directly under the provincial government, and a new round of selection work has started this year..."
After hearing Principal Bai briefly introduce the selection criteria and value of this honor, Zhou Wang was surprised and shook his head: "I'm afraid I'm not qualified for this level of honor?"
Although Zhou Wang is a cheater, he still has self-awareness. This kind of selection that needs to promote a positive image and help spiritual construction has an invisible threshold that is very high.
"Mr. Zhou's achievements have surpassed more than 90% of his peers. What may be relatively lacking is some recognition from all walks of life. Caida has a certain degree of recommendation rights and can provide some assistance to Mr. Zhou."
Bai Lisheng's words were more reserved, but Zhou Wang roughly understood what he meant.
The affirmation from the university must be an important part of all walks of life.
...
Walking all the way from Ginkgo Road to Shilin Road in the old campus, everyone came to an inconspicuous small building near the cafeteria.
This is Caida's internal reception area, which is also a dedicated "small canteen".
"Mr. Zhou, please take a break here. I'll call Secretary Chen to confirm the time for him to come."
After guiding Zhou Wang to the lounge with simple decoration but suitable temperature, Bai Lisheng said with a smile and turned around.
No one else continued to disturb Zhou Wang. At this time, only Zhou Wang, Jiang Qingkui and Wang Qiaobin were left in the lounge.
After being introduced by Zhou Wang, Wang Qiaobin greeted Jiang Qingkui slightly cautiously.
In fact, he had already heard the name of Zhou Wang, the personal secretary. After all, Mr. Zhang and others had already discussed it in the group. When he actually saw the real person, Wang Qiaobin realized that Mr. Zhang and others were still too conservative in their bragging...
Is this something that can be described as "beautiful"?
"ah?"
With Bai Lisheng's determination, his hand couldn't help but shake, and he almost lost his grip on the phone.
Wang Qiaobin was even more shocked. Although he knew that Brother Gou was really rich, feeling the pride of "throwing away 30 million casually" in person was completely different...
After confirming that he heard correctly, Bai Lisheng immediately sat up straight and said with surprise, "Mr. Zhou is not kidding, is he?"
"Of course I won't joke about this kind of thing, but if the donation amount can reach 30 million, I have a small additional request. I wonder if my alma mater can satisfy me?"
"I wonder what kind of request Mr. Zhou said?"
Bai Lisheng asked cautiously.
"I recently plan to develop a game, which may require some talent and technical support. I know that the School of Information and Software Engineering at CaiDa are still very strong, so I want to see if I can cooperate with my alma mater in this regard. To reach some cooperation, of course, it will be enough if my alma mater gives me some appropriate conveniences, and the rest should follow the rules..."
Zhou Wang smiled and stated his needs.
Ever since he put the project of "developing mini-games" on the agenda, Zhou Wang has been thinking about it.
When making games, talent is undoubtedly the most important thing. Although the requirements for small games are not too high, if you cooperate with universities, it is undoubtedly the most labor-saving way.
"If it's just this matter, it shouldn't be a big problem. Our university has many commercial projects for external cooperation, and the operating model in this area is quite mature... In this way, I will call the deans of the School of Information and the School of Software Engineering. Relevant people in charge are also invited. Mr. Zhou will get to know them first, and then we will deal with them slowly if they have any needs."
Bai Lisheng thought for a while and immediately nodded happily.
Zhou Wang glanced at Jiang Qingkui when he heard this. Jiang Qingkui also knew that this must be the work she was responsible for, so she nodded slightly.
Zhou Wang then stretched out his hand, held Bai Lisheng's hand tightly, and said with a smile: "Then Principal Bai, I wish us a happy cooperation."
"Actually, it's a bit inappropriate to say 'cooperation'. Mr. Zhou has never been an outsider to Caida. In the future, we may only get closer..."
Bai Lisheng laughed, and there seemed to be some deep meaning in his words.
Zhou Wang was a little confused, but seeing that Bai Lisheng had no intention of explaining, he couldn't continue to ask.
...
At six o'clock in the evening, a table was set up in a private room on the second floor of the small building.
Zhou Wang and Cai University Secretary Chen Gengyun were sitting side by side. Next to them, in addition to Bai Lisheng, were another vice president of Cai University, as well as several deans. Plus many accompanying guests, the large table, which could accommodate twenty people, was full.
The dishes are just the same, except for a large plate of steamed crabs, there are no particularly luxurious dishes.
The wine is not expensive either. What I drank today was not Moutai, but 52-degree Wuliangye, which ranged in price from 800 to 1,200.
Regarding strong aroma and soy sauce aroma, Zhou Wang always felt that strong aroma was more palatable, but maybe because he drank too much now, he found that there was indeed a reason for the soy sauce aroma to be popular all over the country.
But Zhou Wang is not picky, after all, Wuliangye is not bad either.
The better part is that after Zhou Wang insisted that he was too drunk, the professors and deans also showed corresponding elegance, but they did not engage in a carnage, and they all drank with Zhou Wang.
After drinking for three rounds, Zhou Wang took a bite of the crab that Jiang Qingkui had peeled for him, and heard Chen Gengyun, who was already familiar with him, smiling and saying:
"Mr. Zhou, I wonder if you are interested in joining Caida's board of directors?"
"Um?"
Zhou Wang immediately wondered if he had heard wrongly. He looked up in surprise, "Board of Directors?"
Zhou Wang is indeed a little confused. Cai Da is a public university. Does it also have a board of directors?
As if he had expected Zhou Wang to have doubts, Chen Gengyun smiled and glanced at Ni Hong, who was sitting not far away, "Teacher Ni, can you help me explain?"
"Ah, okay..."
Ni Hong came back from the extreme shock. She glanced at Zhou Wang with complicated eyes. Perhaps she was afraid that Zhou Wang wouldn't hear. She quickly stood up and walked over. Jiang Qingkui temporarily gave up her seat to her.
After thanking Ni Hong, he sat next to Zhou Wang, adjusted his expression and explained softly:
"Mr. Zhou, it's like this. Nowadays, many universities no longer rely purely on grants to raise funds. The Board of Directors of CaiDa has a long history..."
After Ni Hong's explanation, Zhou Wang roughly understood the meaning of the existence of the board of directors.
In short, in order to reflect some of the purposes and concepts of "a university run by society and a university for society", CaiDa has established a board of directors a long time ago, and it is currently in its seventh term.
The composition of the board of directors covers all walks of life, and there is no chairman. The first-ranked executive vice chairman is held by a giant from a provincial agency, and the remaining members are celebrities from all walks of life at home and abroad.
For example, among the several vice-chairmen alongside Chen Gengyun himself, there are top leaders from official institutions, chairmen from private listed companies, and overseas Chinese, such as one who is currently the chairman of a multinational group in California, a beautiful country. Presidents, chairmen of overseas foundations, etc...
There are a total of 43 directors. In addition to their usual contributions to the construction of Caida, each of them also bears some pledges for the construction fund, which is also part of the responsibility.
The funds raised by the board of directors have now exceeded 100 million yuan, becoming an important supplement to the investment in school construction.
"Mr. Zhou, if your personal donation reaches 30 million, you are fully qualified to join the Caida Board of Directors and become a member of the Managing Director..."
After explaining, Ni Hong whispered again.
Zhou Wang really didn't expect that Chen Gengyun would send him such an invitation, but when he thought about it, he already understood something.
The title of "Managing Director" of CaiDa is actually the real gift prepared by his alma mater for him...
No wonder Bai Lisheng said such a pun.
Others are just add-ons, including the cake Bai Lisheng drew for Zhou Wang about the "Top Ten Outstanding Young People in Yunnan Province". Only the managing director of Cai Da is the real sincerity shown by Cai Da.
But assuming that Zhou Wang's donation does not reach 30 million, it's hard to say whether Chen Gengyun will mention this...
Zhou Wang was distracted when he suddenly felt some warm touch on his calf.
He lowered his head in surprise and saw that in the rolled up suit trouser leg, a calf wrapped in flesh was slightly resting on his leg. The ankle was slightly separated from the stiletto heel, swinging and swaying. A smooth arc emerged.
At this time, Ni Hong leaned forward and was still talking to Zhou Wang attentively, as if he knew nothing about his little Jio who was standing on tiptoe.
If we just look at the appearance, we can't actually say that the other party's actions must be intentional, and this teacher Ni Hong's expression is very well controlled——
Her facial features were an ascetic face, her medium-long hair cast some shadows on her fair skin, and her sharp eyebrows made her look more serious when she wasn't smiling. At this time, she whispered and looked around He spoke with a serious expression, as if he didn't notice the slight physical contact.
However, her eyelashes were trembling slightly.
The amplitude was very small, but the two were very close at this time, so Zhou Wang saw it and saw it clearly.
"Mr. Zhou, becoming a managing director does not have many responsibilities, but it has a relatively positive impact on your reputation, so..."
As Ni Hong talked, she couldn't go on anymore because Zhou Wang's eyes were too playful, as if he wanted to look through her pupils into the depths of her soul...
Ni Hong's ears quickly turned red. She avoided Zhou Wang's eyes, but secretly bit her lips. The calves wrapped in flesh did not shrink. Instead, they were completely separated from the shaky high heels, and her smooth toes directly inserted into Zhou Wang's trousers.
