1994: From a young man from a small town to a second-generation resident of Shanghai

"That concludes our course for this session. If you encounter any problems during practical application, please feel free to call our center."

"After you pay the consultation fee, we will help you come up with solutions."

"Mr. Chen, you are truly amazing. I never knew that running a business could be like this."

"And those business models you mentioned, I never even thought of them."

"I'll go back and try to do it the way you described. If I succeed, I'll definitely give you a big bonus."

Chen Yong was actually somewhat reluctant to give up this project.

But after doing this for so long, it's time to prepare to quit.

On the one hand, his fame is growing, and many people are even coming to see him because of his reputation.

The first group of students who came to receive the award were all students who had taught real skills.

He essentially passed on his knowledge of the more successful experiences he had accumulated over the next thirty years to them.

It would be strange if he didn't succeed; those people who succeeded spread his name far and wide.

Now, even if he doesn't send letters proactively, business owners come to him because of his reputation.

Chen Yong knew that the company he was running was illegitimate, and that everything he taught was fake except for what he actually taught.

It's inevitable that Xiao Hong would also become suspicious.

In just one month, he has saved up 300 million.

In this month, nearly five thousand yuan was given to Xiao Hong and Zhou Qiang.

Take care.

Chen Yong saw the factory directors off.

Xiao Hong turned around and walked towards him, followed by two old men who looked to be in their fifties.

"Mr. Chen, two university professors want to see you," Xiao Hong said, sounding somewhat nervous.

Chen Yong had no idea what she was so nervous about. It was just a university professor; as long as he wasn't a teacher from Fudan University or from their department, he didn't care.

Zhang Jianqiang and Xiong Shibao approached. "Hello, Mr. Chen, I'm Zhang Jianqiang, a teacher at the School of Economics and Management, Bashu University."

Chen Yong didn't recognize Zhang Jianqiang, but he did recognize Xiong Shibao standing next to him!

Xiong Shibao also recognized Chen Yong. Wasn't this Chen Yong, the class monitor of this year's finance class?

What's he doing here? And he even opened a consulting firm! What's going on?

It seemed that things were about to be exposed in front of Xiao Hong. If Xiong Shibao were to reveal his identity, things would go wrong!

"Please come to my office to talk, both professors."

"Xiao Hong, I need to have a quiet talk with the two professors. Please don't let anyone disturb us."

Xiao Hong was eager to leave this place, but being caught by the school teachers was so embarrassing.

Although the school has a very free atmosphere and students rely entirely on their own initiative to learn, it's incredibly audacious for someone like her to skip class time for an internship. Few students would dare to do that.

So Xiao Hong simply ran away.

Chen Yong's next challenge was facing Xiong Shibao's questioning.

The three arrived at the office. As soon as Xiong Shibao entered, he couldn't help but ask Chen Yong,

"Chen Yong, tell me, what's going on? How did you end up setting up this 'China Private Economy Promotion and Development Center'? You were just giving a lecture to those private business owners!!"

Professor Xiong has too many questions now. A freshman who just entered university is giving lectures to the bosses and has received unanimous praise after finishing his lectures.

He had reason to suspect that it was a plant hired by Chen Yong.

Zhang Jianqiang realized something was wrong. "Old Xiong, so you know President Chen! But when I asked you before, you said you didn't!"

"Mr. Chen, it's a pleasure to meet you. I didn't expect you to be so young, yet you have a PhD from overseas. I've seen the management system you wrote; it's very practical. We're here today to discuss it with you."

Zhang Jianqiang was quite happy; Xiong Shibao knew him.

"No way! Lao Zhang, this is a freshman in our college. Aren't you afraid of being scammed if you talk to him?"

"A freshman!!!" Zhang Jianqiang was immediately dumbfounded.

It sounds like I heard something terrifying.

If Chen Yong is only a freshman and has already produced results that amaze even him, then what kind of teacher is he!

What a disgrace to being a teacher! He can't even compare to a first-year university student.

Zhang Jianqiang looked ashamed. "Old Xiong, don't discourage me. How am I supposed to live with President Chen, who's only a freshman?"

"No, you actually believe he can create something that amazing?"

Xiong Shibao realized something was amiss and quickly asked Chen Yong, "Where did you learn what you were telling those bosses?"

"Professor Xiong, I didn't expect to run into you here. What I told the boss was, of course, what I figured out myself from reading books."

Zhang Jianqiang was now certain that Chen Yong was indeed a freshman in Fudan University's 94 Finance Class.

Is it really necessary to be this terrifying?

Even now, even though Xiong Shibao has exposed Chen Yong's true identity, Zhang Jianqiang still believes in Chen Yong's abilities, only they are even more terrifying now.

"You figured that out from books? Then tell us more about the management system you researched?"

"Giving a talk to the two professors is no problem, of course. But as you can see, I run a company! I'll definitely need to cover some operating expenses."

Zhang Jianqiang was really ready to pay money to listen to the master's lecture; he should pay a thousand yuan.

Although he didn't have much money, he deeply understood that knowledge was priceless.

If he can learn something truly valuable from Chen Yong, he can also make money with his knowledge when he returns to Sichuan.

Xiong Shibao glared at him. "Don't think I don't know about your company. With the market economy booming lately, all sorts of shady characters have emerged. They use the guise of consulting firms to sell courses, but their sales pitches are all brainwashing tactics. And those uneducated bosses just happen to be able to do it."

"If you don't tell me something real, I'll tell Chen Fang!"

Xiong Shibao threatened him with his aunt, and Chen Yong had no choice but to comply.

When he told Chen Fang about starting a business, he didn't mention setting up a consulting firm, and the company wasn't even registered; it was all a lie.

"Alright, for my aunt's sake, the two professors will get to attend the lectures for free."

Zhang Jianqiang planned to pay after listening to the explanation.

Chen Yong closed the office door, took out a blackboard, and used chalk to conduct an academic exchange with the two professors.

As the conversation deepened, Xiong Shibao became increasingly alarmed, because he was actually hearing some real information from Chen Yong.

This knowledge can all be monetized!

They can even publish in core journals, which would cause a sensation in the academic world.

It's no exaggeration to say that the research findings Chen Yong mentioned could easily get a newly hired teacher promoted to professor.

After hearing this, Zhang Jianqiang admired Chen Yong even more.

As expected of a Fudan student, Chen Yong should be a prospect for Tsinghua or Peking University, yet he chose to apply to Fudan.

Zhang Jianqiang has benefited greatly and is currently digesting what he has just learned.

Xiong Shibao was both surprised and delighted, never expecting that their academy had truly hidden a treasure.

He's only a freshman, but his knowledge is already on par with that of a senior professor.

Chen Yong smiled; conquering two professors was even more satisfying than conquering a woman.

"Ahem, Chen Yong, with your abilities, why would you need to forge your academic credentials?"

"The academy is just about to start a class and recruit entrepreneurs to learn advanced management knowledge. Why don't you come directly to the academy? I'll recommend you."

This project was assigned to him by the academy, but now that he has discovered a genius at the academy, why not just use him directly?

"Professor Xiong, isn't this unnecessary? You're making me do hard labor too."

"You'll get paid! You won't work for free. The academy provides a platform for student recruitment, you just give lectures and build connections. It'll be very beneficial for you. And you won't have to run an illegitimate company like you do now. Besides, you probably lied to Xiao Hong too, didn't you?"

"Professor Xiong, I don't understand what you're saying. How did I lie to Xiao Hong?" Chen Yong refused to admit it. He didn't realize that Xiao Hong was actually his senior, and the two were in the same college.

Even now, Chen Yong still believes that Xiao Hong, like him, forged her academic credentials.

"So you two had this agreed upon?"

Chen Yong didn't want to talk about it further.

Xiong Shibao suddenly said, "I really didn't expect that you could actually persuade Xiao Hong to work for you."

"What?! Professor Xiong, you know Xiao Hong?"

"How could I not know her? She's from our college too, don't you know?" Professor Xiong's face was quite interesting.
