In the past, Lu Chi would go home for lunch after school.
Since starting his company, Lu Chi has gone back to the company every day after school at noon, where he has a delicious lunch in the company cafeteria before returning to his CEO office on the 28th floor.
The office has desks, chairs, and benches, as well as a large sofa. There is a horizontal panel on the sofa that can be pulled out to create a soft, large bed.
Pan Feng brought Lu Chi a blanket, and Lu Chi slept on the sofa bed every noon.
Sometimes, when Lu Yuanqing and Pan Feng come to Lu Chi's company, they will also eat there.
The couple fully supported their son's career.
My eldest, second, and third older sisters would often come over to hang out, eat at the cafeteria, and check on how my brother's games were going.
Lu Chi didn't hide his entrepreneurial venture; instead, he had the company's publicity department promote it extensively, and he even started a live stream on Douyin to promote his game.
Lu Chi was already quite famous because of his fortune-telling skills, and people knew his Douyin account, so he already had more than 3 million followers. In addition, he has gained even more followers recently by doing game promotion live streams.
Lu Chi broadcast live every Saturday and Sunday night, and this came to the attention of the school principal, Huang Ke, and the homeroom teacher, Gao Qiliang.
Huang Ke personally called Lu Yuanqing.
Although Lu Yuanqing is the largest shareholder of this prestigious school, and in principle, Principal Huang Ke should listen to him, Huang Ke chose to speak frankly and remonstrate for Lu Chi's sake, regardless of being fired.
"President Lu, Lu Chi has been livestreaming every Saturday and Sunday lately. It seems he's started a game company and is developing a large-scale game called something like Wukong."
I called you mainly to say that my child is about to take the college entrance exam, and we should focus on his studies first. We can talk about starting a business after the exam and after he goes to university.
I'm mainly wondering what your and your wife's plans are? As the principal of Lu Chi High School, I still suggest prioritizing academics.
Lu Yuanqing patiently waited for Huang Ke to finish speaking before saying to him:
"Principal Huang, don't worry, my son is a very decisive person. He knows very well what he should and shouldn't do, and I believe it won't affect his studies. I know you're just concerned about him and want what's best for him, so please don't worry."
I will pass on your message. I will also tell him that I hope he will only start a business when he has the time and energy to do so, so as not to affect his studies. After all, he is still a child, and his studies should come first.
After the two people hung up the phone, Lu Chi was called into the office by his homeroom teacher, Gao Qiliang, during the 10-minute break between classes.
As soon as he entered the office, Gao Qiliang launched into a tirade of abuse.
"Lu Chi, Lu Chi, what are you doing? The college entrance exam is only a few months away, and instead of focusing on your studies, you're doing some kind of business. You're even doing live streams every Saturday and Sunday. You're just wasting your study time!"
“Let me tell you, you can start a business anytime. Don’t rush to do it now, when you’re most focused on your studies! You can start a business after you finish the college entrance exam. I, Lao Gao, will not stop you then.”
"But now, you have to study hard. Look, you scored 700 points last time. Even if you can maintain that score, you'll definitely get into Tsinghua or Peking University."
"Although you come from a wealthy family and are the child of the richest man, if you don't have a high level of education to support you, when you manage the company in the future, those highly educated employees will actually look down on you."
They'll think you got to that position not because of your own abilities, but because of family connections. So, you should at least get some experience in university so that when you take over the company, no one will secretly talk behind your back and look down on you.
Have you thought about this? If you don't study hard and get into a very ordinary school, they will obey you on the surface because of your power, but in their hearts they will look down on you.
Let me ask you this: would you rather be looked down upon by others, or earn respect through your own abilities?
Lu Chi didn't say anything. Gao Qiliang meant well. As his responsible homeroom teacher, he was just being kind by scolding him out of concern. Lu Chi should just accept it.
"Huh? Did you hear what I said? Put your so-called startup on hold for now, focus on your studies, and don't do any more live streaming on Saturdays and Sundays. Stay home and study properly until you finish the college entrance exam and get into university."
"Okay, I understand." Lu Chi nodded, and after admitting her mistakes in various ways, Gao Qiliang finally let her leave the office.
Back in her seat, Su Yunian asked him, "Why did Lao Gao call you to his office?"
Lu Chi didn't hide anything and told Su Yunian the whole story.
Su Yunian laughed and said, "I think Lao Gao is right. You should focus on your studies first."
Lu Chi nodded: "Yes, I understand."
But after school at noon, Lu Chi still went to his company.
In his own words, while it's good to be obedient, one must also have one's own opinions.
However, on Saturdays and Sundays, in order not to worry the principal and the homeroom teacher, Lu Chi dared not continue the live broadcast.
Like a spy, doing things secretly.
...
On Tuesday, Zhang Hu flew from northern Myanmar to China.
As soon as I got off the plane, I didn't even have time to drink a sip of water before heading straight to my good friend Lu Chi's school.
It is 3 p.m. and Lu Chi is at school.
Zhang Hu waited and waited at the gate, and several times he couldn't contain his excitement and went to the guardhouse to try to force his way in, but was stopped by the guard.
The gatekeeper looked at the young man in front of him. He was about 1.85 meters tall, with dark skin, handsome, and clear eyes. He didn't look like a bad person at all.
"What are you doing? You can't go in!"
"At such a young age, you're already doing bad things, and you're inexplicably trying to barge into other people's schools. What, do you want to go in and attend school there?"
"Move away, move away! Don't stand in front of our guardhouse anymore! Hurry up, hurry up, get out of here!"
Zhang Hu had long developed the air of a superior in the park. Seeing the gatekeeper's insolence, he originally wanted to teach him a lesson, but when he thought about how it would affect his good brother who was studying inside, he gritted his teeth and walked away.
Nothing else matters right now, seeing my best brother is the most important thing!
The waiting time always seems so long.
Zhang Hu leaned against the wall by the school gate, took out a cigar from his pocket, lit it, took a deep drag, and exhaled a few smoke rings.
Through the iron fence, standing on tiptoe and craning their necks to look into the school, their expectant gazes resembled those of an anxious parent waiting for their child to be dismissed from school.
Finally, the hands of his Patek Philippe watch, worth 100 million, pointed to 12:20.
Ding-dong...
The school bell rang suddenly, signaling the end of the school term.
The once quiet campus instantly erupted in excitement.
Zhang Hu's heart began to pound.
