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

10 month 3 number.

Some are going to work, and some are going to school.

For the National Day holiday, we only get two days off, and on the first day, I was busy attending the school's National Day gala.

In reality, the actual rest time is only one day.

However, for college students, as long as they are bold enough, every day is like a summer or winter vacation.

If you didn't get enough sleep during the holiday, you can continue sleeping on weekdays.

Chen Yong's class had a class at eight o'clock in the morning.

Of the six people in the dormitory, only Chen Yong had gone out early in the morning; the other five were still fast asleep.

They showed absolutely no intention of going to class.

Even though they're only freshmen, they know to skip classes to catch up on sleep.

There's no doubt about it; it's the bad habits that Chen Yong instilled in them.

As the room leader, he often skips classes.

At this moment, Chen Yong is in the newly built business building of their college.

The newly built building is designed to meet the needs of the new era and is mainly used for MBA programs, while also hosting some important academic conferences.

"Hello, Mr. Chen."

Xiao Hong also appeared in this building today. She agreed to continue following Chen Yong, but Zhou Qiang unexpectedly rejected his offer.

Choosing to try his luck in Shenzhen, he took the 10,000 yuan given to him by Chen Yong and headed south.

"Xiao Hong, you don't need to call me President Chen here anymore. From now on, I will be a specially appointed teacher at the school, so you can call me Mr. Chen or Teacher Chen."

"I'll take you to the HR department first to complete your onboarding. Then I need to attend a meeting, and we'll talk later."

After taking Xiao Hong to the personnel department, Chen Yong went straight to the conference room.

Dean Huang and the others are still waiting for me to go to the meeting.

The professors attending today's meeting are all highly accomplished in the fields of finance and business management at our university.

In 94, domestic academic research lagged far behind that of foreign countries, so these professors in the field of financial management could not yet be considered masters.

At least in Chen Yong's view, the current level of these people is not keeping up with market development.

However, as opportunities increase, their strength will also increase in the future.

Chen Yong was the youngest in this group; even if you folded their ages in half, they would still be older than him.

Chen Yong was already acquainted with Dean Huang and Professor Xiong, and they greeted him when they saw him arrive.

Even if the other three professors were not familiar with Chen Yong, they would still give the two of them face.

"Chen Yong, we'd like you to be the main speaker for this first cohort of students. Do you have any objections?"

When Tang Shan heard that this young man was to take on the first batch of trainees, he exclaimed in surprise, "Chen Yong is far too young. Even if he has successful experience, will those bosses be willing to accept him?"

"Old Tang, I knew you would have doubts, but Chen Yong is indeed capable. In fact, more than a dozen students in the first cohort came because they heard of Chen Yong's reputation."

"Is this really that exaggerated?" Tang Shan was astonished.

Chen Yong is so young, you can tell at a glance, he's probably not even twenty-five, yet people still come to him because of his reputation.

Professor Xiong and the college leaders have not yet told these professors about Chen Yong's deeds.

"Teacher Tang, don't underestimate Chen Yong. He has already done practical work off-campus. Here is a report, take a look."

Tang Shan saw in the report that Chen Yong had contacted the owners of more than a dozen small and medium-sized enterprises, helped them improve their business conditions in a short period of time, and significantly increased their profits.

Faced with the facts, he had no choice but to believe them.

"Oh well."

Therefore, Chen Yong was assigned to lead the first entrepreneur training program.

In this day and age, running entrepreneur training programs is really quite amateurish.

What content to teach the students in the afternoon was discussed in the morning.

Some teachers said they should teach students financial knowledge and business principles.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yong thought to himself that most entrepreneurs in this era are self-made, and very few truly understand these things.

Although some elites resigned from their positions within the system to start their own businesses, in the market environment, especially in the early days, the rules were too strict, and some unconventional individuals fared better.

"I think we should talk about corporate management. The bosses I've met before all had very crude management styles and liked to use authoritarian methods. While this might control employees in the short term, in the long run, it will inevitably lead to internal strife and a waste of resources."

Chen Yong was the main speaker, so his opinion naturally took precedence. Tang Shan and the others seemed somewhat detached.

"Then let's do it your way. If you need any help, just let us know. This is the first entrepreneur training program in the country, and it'll be featured in the newspapers. We absolutely must make it a success!"

Chen Yong felt that things were being done too hastily. It was just like many university teachers giving perfunctory lectures.

I'll be giving a lecture to the students this afternoon.

Chen Yong sighed inwardly. After the meeting, he ran into Xiao Hong, who had just finished her onboarding process.

"Mr. Chen... Oh~ Ms. Chen, I've completed my onboarding process. May I treat you to a meal?"

"Let's have dinner another time. I have class this afternoon and I need to go back and prepare." Chen Yong politely declined. He really didn't have time to have dinner with the beautiful school beauty right now.

Xiao Hong was slightly disappointed, but she understood and went to get her own food to eat back in her dormitory.

Xiao Hong's roommates, who had just returned from class, were surprised to see her eating in the dormitory. They asked her, "Xiao Hong, why didn't you come to class today? Didn't you say you resigned?"

"Yes, I resigned from my previous company, but now I've joined a new company right here at our school."

"Our school?" Her roommates had no idea that Xiao Hong was already far ahead of them, having secured a permanent position at the university in her junior year.

I didn't say anything before because I was afraid of any unexpected events; it's always better to keep a low profile.

But now that the onboarding process is complete, there's no need to hide anything anymore.

"Yes, the company where I used to intern was acquired by our college and started an entrepreneurship training program on campus. I became a part of the college along with my former boss."

The news hit the five female college students in the dormitory like a thunderbolt, leaving them completely stunned.

"No way, Xiao Hong, are you serious?!"

Are you currently a contract employee of our college?

"They're not external hires; they have permanent positions."

"There are still official positions available!!!"

My roommates were furious when they heard the news.

Why is it that Xiao Hong, you were only a junior in college, yet you already had a permanent job at the university?

We're all in the same boat, we haven't graduated yet, is that fair?

Even if they felt it was unfair, they couldn't do anything about Xiao Hong.

One can only envy Xiao Hong's incredible luck; she actually met such a wonderful boss. The company was acquired by the school, and they even brought Xiao Hong back with them.

"Does your boss know you're a student?"

"The boss didn't care about my education at all. I told him before that I was a working woman who had never gone to university. He didn't look down on me for not having a degree."

These things made the five roommates extremely envious, wondering why they hadn't met such a good boss.
