I had barely finished preparing when my advisor called again, saying they would be arriving soon.
Chen Lu even went out to greet him.
"Welcome, school leaders, for your visit!"
Vice Principal Cao Deguang smiled and said, "The school has always paid close attention to the development of your studio. I heard that you have encountered some problems recently, so I was specially asked to come and take a look."
Chen Lu gave a forced wry smile, "There was a small problem, which has caused you all some trouble."
As he spoke, he stepped aside and invited several school leaders inside.
As soon as they entered, the leaders, who had been calm and composed, were all stunned.
The large company was mostly empty, with only a few people huddled together typing on keyboards. It was getting dark outside, and the company lights weren't even on. The dim light from the screens shone on their faces, making them look rather forlorn.
Someone who didn't know better might think this was a company based in Syria.
"We invested all the money we made into the new game, but not only did they steal our data, they also engaged in unfair competition and poached many of our staff," Chen Lu explained before the school leaders could even ask.
"Currently, funds are a bit tight. Since there isn't much work to do today, I've given the remaining staff the day off and discussed paying them one less day's wages."
He then suddenly clicked his tongue as if he had just realized something, "Sigh, I've been rambling on and on, you guys should sit down, sit down!"
"Hey Le Yun, go over to the neighbor's place and get some water for the leaders."
These words immediately provoked Cao Deguang.
The company with the best prospects in the entire startup base has actually been reduced to having to borrow water from the neighbor next door.
Students from Yuhang University can be bullied like this?!
If word gets out, what will become of the school's reputation?!
His expression became very serious.
In fact, school leaders at this level have always been in a very awkward position.
If you want to improve, the people below you may not give you the opportunity to see where the problem lies.
Looking at the report, it seems like there are a lot of problems, but when you go to inspect it, everything seems fine.
Therefore, Cao Deguang was extremely angry when he witnessed this scene.
“The school will approve some more subsidies for you later,” he said directly.
Chen Lu tidied his messy hair, looking like he was about to cry, "How much can the school give me?"
Cao Deguang cleared his throat and said seriously, "At least two hundred thousand. You are all students of the school. If you have been wronged, the school will definitely do its best to help you."
"Yes, the school will definitely help if it can," the department head added politely.
Chen Lu scratched his head, looking at him somewhat embarrassed, "Actually, I do have something I need to trouble you with..."
The department head's lips twitched twice, but he still nodded. "Go on."
"Our company is currently facing a legal battle over intellectual property rights, and there are quite a few things we don't understand. Could you please help me contact Professor Yin? I'd like to ask him some questions..."
Professor Yin, who has already retired, is a true leading figure in China's legal academia, a pioneering figure.
What Chen Lu needed was not the knowledge the old man possessed, but rather his status in the legal field and the students he had taught.
It would be great to be able to hold a class reunion in court. If the opposing side hires lawyers from other places, how can they win against a group of natives when they are already in the wrong?
He saw through Chen Lu's thoughts, tore off a piece of paper from the workstation next to him, wrote Professor Yin's phone number on it, and handed it to Chen Lu.
"He's keeping a very low profile these days. I'll make the contact for you in advance, and the rest is up to you."
He was about to say that if it didn't work out, he would help you contact other professors, but after thinking about it, he didn't say it.
The fact that this kid went straight for the most authoritative one from the start shows that he had his own agenda.
Chen Lu nodded repeatedly, moved. He pulled Peng Leyun over and pointed at her eyes, saying, "The leaders have really helped us a lot. Otherwise, our company might not have been able to survive."
Look at us now, we don't have enough funds to buy new equipment, so these computers are used in rotation. The other person is kind and voluntarily takes turns working at night, and he doesn't even want to turn on the lights. Now he stares at the computer all night long, and his eyes are almost ruined.
So thank you so much, leaders...
He pinched Peng Leyun's waist hard, and Peng Leyun immediately burst into tears, crying as she thanked him.
Cao Deguang touched his thinning hair and said, "Alright, alright, just fill out an application form if you need any equipment, and the school will reimburse you again."
"We will definitely live up to the school's expectations!" Chen Lu said loudly.
Several employees from the programming team in the distance were biting their lips so hard they were almost bleeding from trying to suppress their laughter.
This scoundrel of a boss not only fleeces them every day, but now he's even trying to fleece the school leaders.
A fool can't become a school leader. Now that things have developed this way, he certainly understands that Chen Lu's statement is exaggerated.
But then I thought again that Chen Lu's company was going through a difficult time, and the theft of data and the malicious poaching of employees would be easy to find out. It wouldn't be a problem for me to turn a blind eye.
Surely even that trending video couldn't have been staged, right?
After tearfully seeing off the leaders, Chen Lu couldn't bear to waste his tears, so he took a selfie and sent it to Liang Zhirou.
Chen Lu: I'm so sad, can I see my leg? [Photo.jpg]
Before he could get a reply, Peng Leyun sat down next to him, rubbing her lower back and looking puzzled.
"Brother Lu, 200,000 is quite a lot. Do you really think the vice principal will give it to us?" he asked in a somewhat foolish voice.
