Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

"It's all over, it's all over! I'm the hope of the whole village! I finally got into Shanghai University. If I'm notified to go back to the village, how will I ever face my fellow villagers again?"

While Meng Chuan was washing up, Jiang Zhenyu was like a nagging old lady, constantly muttering beside him, her voice full of panic.

He was genuinely frightened, after all, Wei Laohu had made it very clear in the class meeting.

The Yuanpei Genius Experimental Class cannot be viewed in the same way as ordinary college students.

This place cultivates top geniuses, and the intensity of their studies is even greater than that of senior year of high school.

Anyone who violates the rules will definitely be publicly criticized.

They might even send the notification letter to the village committee.

Jiang Zhenyu was sent off to university with great fanfare by the entire village.

He felt he would be too ashamed to live if he were publicly criticized as soon as he arrived at school.

"Don't worry, what big thing could happen? Even if something does happen, it'll be a good thing."

Looking at Jiang Zhenyu's panicked appearance, Meng Chuan felt both annoyed and amused.

Meng Chuan's confidence was not unfounded.

His paper has the potential to win the Nobel Prize in Economics.

The likelihood of Wei Mingjun's summons this time is greater than the possibility of praise or criticism.

Besides, even if I am criticized, so what? Getting a scolding won't hurt me.

Meng Chuan has already achieved his dream of going to university, so even if he gets expelled, it's not a big deal.

With his wealth, if this place doesn't want him, there are plenty of other places that will!

Besides, Meng Chuan didn't believe it either. Expelled for missing one class? Are you kidding me?

"Idol, you... sigh! Never mind, let's go! Be smart later, admit your mistakes if you should. I have a lot of experience in this area, just watch my signals."

Jiang Zhenyu forced himself to calm down.

He was never a well-behaved person from a young age.

Every time he gets into trouble, he admits his mistakes faster than anyone else.

Their attitude was so sincere that it was hard to blame them.

In addition, he has always had good grades, so the teachers always give him special treatment.

So he could pass the test easily every time.

Urged on by Jiang Zhenyu, the two finally arrived at the door of Zuo Silan's office, the dean of the School of Economics.

Jiang Zhenyu, who had calmed down a bit, started trembling uncontrollably in his legs as soon as he arrived here.

He swallowed hard, intending to give Meng Chuan a few more instructions.

Meng Chuan, however, acted as if nothing had happened and went inside first.

"I wipe..."

Jiang Zhenyu was so frightened he almost screamed.

She tried to reach out and stop Meng Chuan, but it was too late.

Especially when the door was pushed open and he saw the scene inside, Jiang Zhenyu gasped.

The office was packed with more than a dozen professors.

Jiang Zhenyu had carefully studied the list of professors published by the school.

Those present are all leading figures from the School of Economics.

Professor Zuo Silan, in particular, is a leading figure in the field.

At this moment, all the professors' eyes were focused on Meng Chuan and him, like spotlights.

The scene was exactly like a joint trial, and Jiang Zhenyu almost knelt down.

Meng Chuan was also taken aback by the scene.

I didn't expect there to be so many people there.

However, apart from Wei Mingjun, who was privately called "Tiger Wei" by everyone on the first day of school.

Meng Chuan didn't know any of the other people.

Because he didn't know him, Meng Chuan remained relatively calm.

After giving everyone a polite nod, Meng Chuan walked straight toward Wei Mingjun.

"Hello, Teacher Wei, you were looking for me?"

Meng Chuan's attitude was also very proper, neither humble nor arrogant.

On the contrary, Wei Mingjun was a little flustered when he saw Meng Chuan walking towards him.

Everyone present was a professor, except for him, who was an associate professor.

And the dean is still here!

Shouldn't Meng Chuan have asked the dean first?

As for the fact that Meng Chuan did not know Professor Zuo Silan, Wei Mingjun had not considered this point.

Because Meng Chuan was a student personally recruited by Professor Zuo Silan, how could Meng Chuan not know him?

"Ahem... Yes, the main reason I called you here today is because your matter is quite important."

Although Wei Mingjun didn't understand why Meng Chuan spoke to him first, he quickly coughed lightly and said:

"Dean Zuo Silan is attending the 'Annual Conference on Political Economy,' where she was supposed to give an important report. But after hearing about your situation, she immediately rushed back. It was for..."

Before Wei Mingjun could finish speaking, Jiang Zhenyu suddenly took three steps at a time.

He rushed to Professor Zuo Silan, and said through tears:

"Dean Zuo, I was wrong. I shouldn't have answered for Meng Chuan when I knew he was on leave."

Jiang Zhenyu's sudden "confession" left everyone stunned.

The scene was deathly silent; everyone was bewildered by this inexplicable turn of events.

But Jiang Zhenyu simply couldn't stop.

"But this really isn't Meng Chuan's fault. I forgot to ask for leave for him in advance. He told me last night to ask for leave for him, but I overslept and completely forgot."

"Because it was my fault, I thought I could help Meng Chuan get away with it, so I answered the questions for him in class."

The professors were still completely bewildered.

But Jiang Zhenyu then continued to cry:

"But I didn't intentionally oversleep. I've been researching and using my brain too much these past two days, and I'm feeling groggy. Meng Chuan didn't skip class on purpose either..."

Jiang Zhenyu truly lives up to his reputation as a master of mistaking mistakes.

His attitude was extremely sincere, and he was particularly skillful in admitting his mistakes.

Each time he points out a mistake, he cleverly finds an excuse for it.

The reason I answered for Meng Chuan was because I forgot to ask for leave.

I forgot to ask for leave because I was overworking my brain while researching.

Excessive mental exertion is for the purpose of writing a good paper.

Moreover, he was quite loyal and also helped Meng Chuan get out of trouble.

The reason Meng Chuan was absent from class was because he "deserted at the last minute," leaving the important task of writing the paper to Meng Chuan.

Finally, Jiang Zhenyu clenched his fists and made a solemn vow:

"Dean Zuo, professors, I, Jiang Zhenyu, promise that we will definitely turn over a new leaf, study hard, and strive to repay the teachers' cultivation and the college's kindness. In the future, we will be willing to go through fire and water for the construction of our motherland!"

After Jiang Zhenyu finished speaking, the entire office remained so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Meng Chuan stared blankly at Jiang Zhenyu.

This guy... has such a bizarre side?

He was only missing one class, so he answered "present" for him.

Why is it being made to look like I've committed a heinous crime?

"Um... Jiang Zhenyu, don't worry. Actually, I came back not because you guys made a mistake."

Professor Zuo Silan rubbed her temples, looked at Jiang Zhenyu, and said with a headache.

She could hardly believe that such a groundbreaking paper could cause such a stir in the global economy and even trigger economic system reforms in countless countries.

It was actually done by those two young lads.

Moreover, it was written in just two days without any on-site investigation, relying solely on frantically researching materials in the library.

"No...it's not because of making a mistake?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhenyu, who had been wearing a sorrowful expression a moment ago, burst into laughter the next.

The speed at which he changes his expression is truly exceptional.

"I have a question for you."

Professor Zuo Silan looked at Meng Chuan and Jiang Zhenyu, her expression turning serious, and asked solemnly:

"According to your paper, all countries that have achieved economic prosperity have adopted inclusive economic systems."

"But as far as I know, there is a country called 'Haiti' whose laws are based on the constitution of the United States."

"However, Haiti's economy did not prosper as a result. What do you think is the reason?"
