Chapter Eighty: The First Day of School

  September 1st is the opening day of Jiangning University.

  The Chen family of five set off in their car together to report to the main campus.

  Chen Heng sat in the driver's seat, his eyes fixed straight ahead. He had originally wanted to drive his own Land Rover to bring over his second brother, but was criticized by his old man for being too showy, so he switched to driving a Ford F-150 instead.

  Of course, this is also not a low-key thing.

  The 150 is a typical American pickup truck, or in Chinese terms, a passenger and cargo vehicle.

  Despite its tongue-twisting name, the "Meng Jun" is distinctly different from the passenger-cargo vehicles that frequently ply China's rural roads. Priced at over 600,000 yuan, it not only dwarfs ordinary off-road vehicles in size but also boasts excellent comfort and off-road capabilities.

  Driving such a car, if an accident unfortunately occurs, it is often just a matter of compensation and not hospitalization, making it the first choice for parents to buy for their sons.

  Chen Yi sat in the spacious seat in the second row, his mind still thinking about company matters.

  Jinyuan International is divided into several subsidiaries, with the main accounts left in an offshore company in the Cayman Islands, on the one hand to avoid taxes and on the other hand to hide.

  Now, his problem is how to get the money out.

  After nearly two weeks of busy work, in addition to mastering the fighting skills, I earned about $11 million, which is equivalent to 100 million yuan.

  There's no doubt that this amount can be of great help to the family. Even Chen Gongyu, at present, may not have such an amount in his savings.

  As for making more money, although it is necessary, it can be achieved through higher leverage rather than infinitely expanding capital. After all, the computing power of "sea monsters" has its limits, and it is impossible to monopolize the entire market, occupying the NYSE is already the maximum output.

  However, bringing money from abroad to the country is not as easy as earning so much. He had no one else suitable for use except Tang Xiongfei. Although it was possible to inform his parents, he himself had no resistance psychology, but the existence of the supercomputer also involved the magical subway, which was a secret that he absolutely did not want to tell anyone.

  Looking at Tang Xiongfei, he has seen the luxury of New York's high society and is now following him wholeheartedly, wanting to climb higher. Even becoming the CEO of Wall Street's Golden Source International doesn't give him a chance to report back to his parents, making it even harder for Chen Yi to decide.

  The F150 turned left and right, and after a long time, it was almost at the school gate. Many parents' cars were parked on the side of the road, and there were also school buses coming and going, sending students from other places over.

  Chen Yi touched the wide seat under his leg and said with some reluctance: "Mom, this new car seems to be not commonly seen?"

  "It was bought in the name of your father's company, and at that time, the bank loaned it, and all the company's assets were frozen. This Ford had just been renovated inside and was locked in the warehouse." Fang Manyi explained with a smile, her eyes fixed on her son, knowing what he was thinking.

  Chen Yi's hair stood on end, and he smiled awkwardly twice, saying: "No wonder people say you're evading taxes, this is the evidence. Either hand it over to me or destroy the incriminating evidence."

  He fell in love with this pickup truck, nearly two meters high, 5.6 meters long and 2.4 meters wide, even bigger than the Hummer H2 that Chinese people admire, this kind of muscular and rugged American-style vehicle gives people a tank-like feeling.

  But apart from its excellent off-road capability, the most important function is to tow mobile homes and yachts, with over 300 horsepower and more than 2 tons of towing force, just thinking about it reveals its super strong power.

  Even with a more advanced power scroll, its durability is unlikely to surpass it.

  Chen Yi said while eating green jello, hoping to increase even a tiny bit of good feeling, in order to achieve his goal.

  Fang Manwei couldn't help but laugh and pushed her husband, saying: "See, I told you so."

  Chen Congyu grunted twice and rushed to Chen Yi: "No guts, I thought you would at least wait until we left before speaking up."

  Fang Man-yi also said: "If you give it to him, it's not just erasing evidence. Besides, something worth tens of millions can't be had just because he wants it."

  "I got accepted into Jiangning University." Chen Yi said softly.

  "Uh-huh."

  "It should be less than 10 million."

  "The decoration cost 200,000."

  "I can actually buy it myself." Chen Yi said with a hint of grievance. If he were to buy a car himself, he would certainly not be able to hide it from his parents.

  Fang Man-yi didn't believe him at all and said: "If you have so much pocket money, I'll confiscate it from you right now."

  Chen Yi was eating lychee with a sullen face.

  Big Brother coughed and said, "A Yi, you don't seem to have a driver's license yet."

  "Learned very quickly." Chen Yi replied with a guilty conscience. He wanted a car, partly because he saw Han Jie driving and felt the convenience of it.

  If I had a pickup truck, it would be very convenient to go to the subway station and other places in the future.

  It was unclear whether the fruit juice had taken effect or Fang Manyi had long been prepared to give him the Pikachu, but when they arrived at the school gate, she said softly: "I've given you this car, but normally don't exceed 60 kilometers per hour. Got it?"

  Chen Yi thought for a moment before excitedly shouting: "Thanks, Mom!"

  Chen Congyu said in a low voice: "What about me?"

  "It's none of your business." Fang Manrui pushed him and took out a bag from her bag, handing it to Chen Yi: "Driving school materials, I've already signed you up. Also, gas cards, insurance cards, and other things are all taken care of. In case something happens accidentally, learn to solve it yourself, call the insurance company or report to the police if necessary. If there's a problem, come find us again, got it?"

  A long string of words made Chen Yi's head spin.

  "Who would have thought mom still had something to say, continuing: 'Once you enter university, you need to learn how to take care of yourself...'"

  Chen Heng slammed on the brakes and got out of the car first. He had received similar education when he was in military school, and he really didn't want to hear it again.

  Chen Rongxi slipped out with a pitiful look on his face, thinking that he still had 3 years to endure nagging, and felt both happy and sad.

  It wasn't until quite a while later that Chen's mother finished speaking and said, "Get off the bus. Don't mention the Chen family unless necessary, but also don't take it too seriously, or you'll lose face in front of your grandfather."

  "I know, I know." Chen Yi had already eaten a whole pack of green jelly beans. What's the use now?

  Little sister saw them get off the bus and also slipped over, pulling him curiously: "Second brother, what have you been eating all this time?"

  "A shelled fruit, a friend gave it to me. Can't remember the name." Chen Yi casually tossed one to Chen Rongxi. Something worth at least 100,000 gold coins, if seen by the wizards, would make them die of heartache.

  For Chen Yi, it's just the price of 100 sheets of paper, and Songzi might be even cheaper.

  Green tea extract is not like a rolled-up scroll, it has basically no side effects, after taking two or three tablets the effect is maximized, and the remaining effect is just the normal effect of green tea.

  Chen Rongxi held it in his hand, imitating his second brother's appearance, and gently pinched the thin shell, with no reaction at all.

  She tried harder to pinch, but still had no effect.

  Chen Yi took a look and handed it over to her, saying, "It requires skill."

  In fact, where there is skill, he lifts heavily as if lightly, it's because of his brute strength. Over 100 kilograms of force, plus Zhang's second-level power scroll, is more formidable than most soldiers.

  After such a long period of training, with his 8th layer Body Technique level, he could fully withstand two 4th grade scrolls and seven or eight 2nd grade scrolls without any problem, not to mention that he could still replenish his spiritual energy with recovery medicine.

  So Chen Yi eats a "pine nut" and tears off a small scroll, which is a habitual action.

  Chen Rongxi murmured as he ate, "Not as sweet as Sangguo, a bit of bitter taste like pine nut, but the aftertaste is good and sweet... really not bad."

  She walked and talked all the way, with many people looking over at her in a friendly manner.

  This thing is most useful for strangers.

  The degree of liking or disliking between acquaintances is relatively stable, but with strangers it's entirely different. It can be said that it starts from zero and suddenly increases by 10% or 15% in terms of favorability, making a difference immediately.

  Chen Rongxi thought she was just a naturally beautiful girl, smiling and running around, attracting the attention of countless freshmen.

  Chen Yizhen rushed between the registration points, relying on the taste of hundreds of green plum fruits to win favor. Many senior students who originally only served female students surprisingly came forward to help.

  Seeing so many people lending a helping hand, Fang Manyi said: "I'll go back with your dad first, you guys be careful. Chen Heng, don't let him drive until he gets his driver's license."

  The older brother smiled and agreed, and the three siblings followed the seniors to the dormitory building.

  At this time, several kids from the computer club also came to help, one after another calling him "Deputy President's Brother", making those who heard it raise their eyebrows.

  These electronic otaku guys are no good at moving things, but they're quite skilled at playing tricks. Before long, Xiao Yu, who had heard the news, stuck to Chen Yi's side and whispered: "Master, 6-person dormitory, what's the living habit like?"

  "Isn't it 4 people?"

  "That's because your finance school has money." Xiaoyu said discontentedly, then turned and asked: "Whether it's 4 people or 6 people, isn't it uncomfortable to sleep in the same room with others? Don't you want to live alone?"

  Chen Yi frowned and said, "The school rules don't allow staying out overnight, right?"

  First-year students are still a relatively conservative group.

  Xiao Yu cut in, saying: "No need to live off-campus, you can also sleep in a single room. Do you know that since 2000, the school's courses and dormitory arrangements have all been applied for online by students..."

  "Did you guys infiltrate the school's server?"

  "Hush." Xiao Yu hastily pulled him back and said: "Don't say that in front of people, if it's known, we'll definitely be punished."

  "Understood. One single room." Chen Yi replied readily.

  He has so many secrets, and living with others in the same room, it's easy to be exposed. Not only does the subway in Seochi start at 22:30 on time, but the US stock market also opens around dawn, if you share a dormitory with others, you can imagine the trouble.

  Xiao Yu hehe smiled twice and said his request: "Easy to handle, you're quite familiar with the Korean beauty from last time, aren't you?"

  "It's okay." Chen Yi started pretending to be foolish, knowing that Xiao Yu must have something in mind.

  His relationship with Kim Duna has been a bit strange from start to finish, but it's hard to admit what.

  Xiao Yu smiled slyly, like a thief, and said to Xiang Yaqi: "I've seen you with that Korean beauty before. Actually, I wasn't thinking of doing anything, just wanted to ask, is she from the Lala team? Shouldn't there be many girls like her with small waists and great figures? Like Silver Donna, Saint Donna?"

  "No." Chen Yicai did not agree to such terms.

  "No way." Xiaoyu was taken aback and said, "You can't think that single dormitories are easy to arrange, it's not just a matter of invading the school server."

  He thought Chen Yi wanted to do it himself, and his voice couldn't help but rise as he said: "With so many people in the whole school to arrange, there is indeed some surplus in the dormitory, but do you know which one? We can assure that we will assign you to a dormitory next to our class, just pretending that there is an extra space for you, and it won't be caught by the counselor..."

  "Change another condition." Chen Yi just shook his head and casually cracked open a sunflower seed.

  Xiao Yu stared at him for a long time and said, "I'll help you change your grades two more times."

  "What?"

  "Professor, if I give you a grade above D, no matter it's C or A-, I can change it to A for you, isn't that enough?"

  "I don't need it." He has a scroll for self-defense anyway.

  Xiao Yu originally thought it was a sure thing, but Chen Yi rejected him cleanly and neatly. Helplessly, he stretched out one finger and said: "Just make a phone call, we'll meet twice for a get-together. This is the minimum condition."

  Chen Yishen hesitated for a moment, he didn't know if Jiang Da's management was strict, as a freshman student living outside the dormitory would be more troublesome than attending a social gathering.

  "After some thought, he turned and said: 'I'll help you with the first time, but as for the second time, you're on your own.'"

  "Go." Xiao Yu's hormones are about to fly out of this world.

  Chen Yi took out his mobile phone and before he could even dial a number, he heard a somewhat unfamiliar foreign voice:

  "Mr. Chen, what a coincidence running into you!"

  Without looking, the foreign handsome guy Stanik, wearing soft Italian casual shoes made of cowhide, came to the front of the crowd with a warm smile.

  He comforted with his eyes the unfamiliar friends from all over the world, he consoled with his spirit the young people of several ethnic groups from hundreds of nations around the world, and he rubbed with his limbs the people from certain corners of the earth.

  Then, the foreign handsome guy said with a warm smile and tone: "Which dormitory do you live in? I've transferred to the School of Finance. Although I'm still a sophomore, I'll have to take many basic courses, so we'll be classmates from now on."

  Foreigners in China have enjoyed most-favored-nation treatment for 100 years since the Qing Dynasty.

  Other students have to get into the top 10% of the finance school, but Stanik can go whenever he wants.

  Chen Yi himself didn't know which dormitory he would go to, so he just sniffled and hummed a response, continuing on his way to the dormitory area.

  Stanik didn't think much of it, looking at Chen Yi's back, smiling friendly and shouting: "Come to the fencing club when you're free."

  He didn't agree with Marke's judgment in his heart - a technology worth tens of billions of dollars? On this kid?

  To talk about the young masters, Stanik had seen many of them. Someone like Chen Yi, if not for seeing him appraise antiques in the banquet hall or seeing that extremely difficult question in Professor Lang's office, he wouldn't have believed that the person in charge of Jin Yuan International was actually him.

  However, Stanik himself was a test of the Mensa Club's trust. Since Chen Yi could get over 148 points in such a difficult topic - to some extent even stronger than himself, it is not impossible that he relied on luck and developed a technology that would impress both Marque and the Vatican.

  It seems that this technique is going to belong to the Vatican after all.

  Stanik's gaze at Chen Yi gradually turned into a pitiful look, like that of a colonizer looking at a free man who had not yet become a slave.

  If he hadn't registered the company in Cayman secretly, if his family hadn't fallen, if it was his family that grasped this technology...

  God bless the civilized world!
