"At the same time, the school has decided to award you the title of outstanding graduate and invite you to serve as a mentor in the school's entrepreneurship center. Of course, you don't need to come to the school regularly; you can just come and give a few lectures when you have free time."
"Huh? Become a teacher? This..."
The principal waved his hand: "It's just a nominal appointment, it's nothing. Your entrepreneurial experience is already a legend, and you'll definitely be very popular with the students."
"Principal, I wanted to ask if you could give me a work ID so I can take it home and show it off to my mom."
"Hahaha, you little rascal."
"Hehe, by the way, Principal, this is a small token of my appreciation for the school, to thank them for nurturing me!"
Lin Chen took out a check for fifty million and handed it to the principal.
The principal glanced at the numbers on the check: ones... tens... hundreds... thousands... tens of thousands... etc., isn't there a lot of zeros?
"Wait, Xiao Qian, hurry up and call the people from the school's news department. This donation is a good opportunity to film it and use it as material for the school in the future."
Qian Ming immediately ran out to find someone, and a short while later, people from the news department came running in carrying cameras.
Then, under the camera's lens, the principal and Lin Chen solemnly accepted Lin Chen's donation of 50 million yuan.
The news department also interviewed Lin Chen, who rambled on and on about how the school is his home, and how to study hard and improve every day.
Qian Ming, who was listening nearby, twitched at the corner of his mouth. "You think the school is your home? Does that mean you're running away from home?"
After the filming ended, Lin Chen left two special gifts from Star Technology and then took his leave.
He then visited Vice Principal Chen and left a gift from Xingchen Technology as well.
After finishing, Lin Chen thought he should go back to his dorm and meet up with some of his roommates.
"Brothers, I'm back!"
"Fire in the hole! Fire in the hole!"
Lin Chen pushed open the door, but none of the three people in the dormitory paid any attention to him; they were all wearing headphones and playing games.
Lin Chen raised an eyebrow. Am I that shameful?
So he continued, "I'll pay for the hotpot lunch outside the school!"
"Wow, Lin Chen, you're back! I want spicy hot pot!"
"Brother Chen, Brother Chen, I miss you so much! I want three plates of fatty beef!"
"Lin Chen, it's been so long! I want to eat pig brains."
Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately threw away their headphones and stood up.
Lin Chen's lips twitched. It has to be you guys. A rich second-generation from Sichuan, a large-scale grain grower from Northeast China, and a second-generation official from Shanghai, all thinking about a hot pot meal.
Soon, the four of them arrived at the hot pot restaurant near the school gate.
The hot pot restaurant wasn't crowded at lunchtime, so the food came out quickly.
Zhao Yu took a bite of the fatty beef: "Ah, that's great! Lin Chen, I haven't been to school this semester. I thought you dropped out."
Zhang Dacheng chimed in, "Yeah, but it makes sense when you think about it. After all, you're so rich, it doesn't matter whether you go to school or not. I heard your company is now on par with Alibaba and Tencent."
Lin Chen got really into talking about this. He put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth.
"Ahem, guys, hey, you might not see me next semester."
Chen Tianfeng asked in surprise, "Huh? Really? Lin Chen, you really dropped out of school? With your current achievements, even if you didn't come to school, you should still be able to graduate smoothly, right?"
Lin Chen took a sip of cola and continued, "The principal called me today and informed me that I have excellent academic performance and am allowed to graduate early, so I may not be living in the dormitory at my next school."
"Damn, Lin Chen, you're a real dog! You even have to use intonation for this."
"Oh, Brother Chen, does that mean we'll never see you again?"
"No, not at all. The school has hired me as a mentor at the entrepreneurship center, so I'll still come to the school occasionally. Remember to treat me to a meal then!"
"Then you'd better not come. You're a big boss now, and you still expect us to treat you to a meal? How can you be so shameless? Speaking of which, you used to come here all the time to freeload. Later I found out that you're richer than my dad."
"Ahem, no, no, I can't compare to you, Young Master Zhao. I just do some small business to make a little money to support my family."
The four of them ate and chatted until 1 p.m. before parting ways.
"Brothers, even though I've graduated, I'm still in Shanghai. Our company is very close to the school, so let's keep in touch."
"Okay, we'll definitely come over to mooch meals from you whenever we have the chance."
Afterwards, Lin Chen drove back to the company.
On the eve of Labor Day, just as everyone was preparing for the holiday, the Meituan APP suddenly received an update, with a new section appearing on the Meituan APP homepage – Meituan Services.
At the same time, all Meituan users received a push notification from the Meituan app offering free general coupons.
People were curious and clicked into the Meituan app to take a look.
"What the heck, a haircut for 9.9 yuan? No way, Meituan, why didn't you launch this Meituan service sooner? I just got a haircut for 99 yuan yesterday!"
"Hey bro, 99 is a good price. Look at that package down there, a wash, cut, blow-dry and hair coloring for only 199. I paid 888 yesterday!"
"Huh? 888? Isn't that the money I got when I went for a foot massage yesterday? Brothers, let me tell you, I had a really bad day. I was so tired yesterday that I thought I'd get a foot massage, and I ordered the 888 Emperor Package. I almost got kidnapped! They actually told me to go to a little dark room in the back to serve me. I was so scared that I ran away as fast as I could."
"Hey bro, can you give me the address? I love the fight against organized crime."
"Address needed +1, bro upstairs, I'm just worried you can't beat them, carry me."
"Add me to your list +1".
...
However, soon after, a local news channel on Weibo pushed out a message that a bathhouse was suspected of violating the law and was investigated and dealt with according to law.
This deeply moved the guy who had been scammed out of 888 yuan, and he even posted a message to express his gratitude.
"I am truly grateful to those brothers who went to crack down on organized crime. Although my money was not recovered, you have restored justice to society."
Afterwards, he tagged those IDs.
What puzzled him was that none of the people he had tagged replied; it was as if they had all disappeared.
The other netizens all replied with a "manual smirk," which puzzled him greatly.
However, Meituan's services became an instant hit.
The availability of services like haircuts, car washes, and foot massages for 9.9 yuan has encouraged more people to spend money on these services.
It's cheap, after all!
Merchants have also attracted more customers with low prices through the Meituan platform. How many of these customers will stay depends on their service.
