“Mr. Dai, do you know him?”
Seeing Dai Yunfei’s intense reaction, a curious colleague asked.
“I don’t!”
Dai Yunfei firmly shook his head, while internally ranting like crazy: Is something wrong with a billionaire like you competing with me for a woman?
Definitely something wrong!
With your conditions, what kind of woman can’t you find!
Behind Dai Yunfei a few rows…
Fang Ke, with a smug look on his face, said to Chen Ruohan who was seated in the row in front of him, “Ruohan, did you see? My brother-in-law is sitting right in the middle of the stage, even Principal Li is so polite to him!”
“Zhao Nana, that’s my brother-in-law. He invested two billion in our school…”
At this moment, Fang Ke was feeling incredibly cocky, it was almost like he had “Mr. Yang is my brother-in-law” written on his forehead.
“If your brother-in-law is so impressive, having invested two billion in the school, why hasn’t he tossed some money your way? Even just to get you a new phone?”
Fang Ke’s roommate, Liu Feng, said with a smirk, disliking Fang Ke’s show-off attitude.
And his words really hit a nerve. In truth, Fang Ke was quite frustrated—having such a powerful brother-in-law but having gained no real benefits from him so far.
But he couldn’t concede verbally: “Such trivial things… I just haven’t bothered to mention them to my brother-in-law. After I graduate, I’ll work at his company, and he’ll surely take good care of me!”
Fang Ke shrugged his shoulders, indeed having plans to mix with his brother-in-law, Yang Hao, after graduation.
Sitting in front of the two, Zhao Nana nudged Chen Ruohan’s arm with her elbow and whispered, “Ruohan, that uncle is so handsome!”
“What’s important is that he’s a billionaire. I wonder if he has a wife.”
“What if he doesn’t have a wife?” Chen Ruohan turned to her roommate and asked.
“If he doesn’t have a wife, I really want to make a move!” Zhao Nana didn’t hide her thoughts, as many young girls today liked older men.
Of course, this “older man” comes with quotation marks.
It’s not just age that makes one an older man in the eyes of young girls!
Firstly, you must be wealthy, secondly handsome.
Even if not handsome, you must have that successful man’s charisma!
Lastly comes age.
And among these three points, the most important is naturally the first.
“Wait a minute,”
“Fang Ke, you said he’s your brother-in-law, so he’s married to your sister?”
Zhao Nana suddenly recalled Fang Ke’s words and turned to ask.
“No, he’s my sister’s boyfriend!” Fang Ke shook his head.
“Just the boyfriend…”
Zhao Nana’s lips curled up into a smile as she thought that it wouldn’t be unusual for such a billionaire to have several girlfriends. If he wasn’t married, there was a chance, and she wouldn’t feel too bad about it morally.
It’s just that there seemed to be no chance to meet this CEO!
“Fang Ke, since Mr. Yang is your brother-in-law, could you arrange for us all to have dinner together after the school celebration ends?”
Zhao Nana asked cheerfully.
“Uh…”
Fang Ke hesitated for a moment and said, “The school probably has arrangements, I’m afraid it won’t work today.”
Fang Ke really didn’t have the confidence to get Yang Hao to come out. Although he could brag under the guise of having a CEO brother-in-law, the two actually didn’t have much interaction.
Listening to their conversation, Little White Flower Chen Ruohan quietly pursed her lips, feeling secretly relieved that she had acted first. Men like her Uncle Yang really did appeal to little girls.
Her roommate, Zhao Nana, she knew too well, because they were of the same kind, which was why they could hang out together, but Zhao Nana’s assets were quite inferior to her own, the fish raised in her pond were of lower quality.
“Just ask, what if the school hasn’t arranged anything!”
“You can’t possibly not be able to invite out your own brother-in-law, right??”
Zhao Nana used a provocative tactic.
This kind of provocation was pretty low and didn’t work on somewhat mature men, but it was very effective on college students like Fang Ke.
Especially since Fang Ke had just been bragging, he couldn’t bring himself to refuse now.
“I’ll ask him later then!”
“Mmhmm, I’ll be waiting for your good news,”
Zhao Nana turned her head, satisfied, and then whispered to Chen Ruohan, “If Fang Ke really can invite Mr. Yang out, do you want to join us?”
“I’d rather not.”
Chen Ruohan shook her head, thinking to herself: If I wanted to see Uncle Yang, I’d have plenty of opportunities!
“Ruohan, that’s not like you at all!”
“A handsome billionaire uncle, ah!”
“You haven’t been won over by just a Pocket2, have you??”
A couple of days ago, Chen Ruohan hadn’t returned to the dormitory, and when she came back to school, she had a new Pocket2 phone. When Zhao Nana pressed, Chen Ruohan only said it was a gift from a guy who was courting her.
Knowing her roommate Zhao Nana, Little White Flower Chen Ruohan deliberately kept her Uncle Yang a secret.
Good things should be enjoyed privately!
She was not about to give Zhao Nana a chance!
At that moment, the host walked onto the stage.
The anniversary celebration officially began, and the originally noisy scene suddenly quieted down.
The host first introduced the school leaders attending the anniversary event, then began to introduce outstanding alumni, with Yang Hao being the first to be mentioned.
And when the host recounted Yang Hao’s array of titles, Dai Yunfei, sitting in the audience, completely lost his spirit.
President of Jiangcheng Newspaper Group!
President of Tianmei Media Group!
Not to mention holding both these positions, just being the president of Jiangcheng Newspaper Group alone would qualify one for a seat in the front row.
Despite its sixty years of history, Jiangcheng University of Finance and Economics is only mid-level among second-tier universities nationwide, and hadn’t really produced any particularly outstanding individuals.
Although academic credentials are not synonymous with wealth.
There is still a certain correlation, as the probability of graduates from prestigious institutions becoming social elites is indeed higher than that from ordinary institutions.
Some ordinary undergraduate institutions might go decades without producing anyone truly influential on a national scale.
So Yang Hao, a big CEO roughly rounding to a worth of tens of billions, is indeed someone who can be described with great emphasis in the sixty-year history of Jiangcheng University of Finance and Economics.
Of course, wealth and valuation are secondary.
Mainly, it was Yang Hao’s two-billion investment to establish the “Yang Hao Scholarship Foundation,” which served only Jiangcheng University of Finance and Economics, that was truly impressive and the reason the school valued him so highly!
If you’re worth tens of billions but don’t contribute a penny, the school will still respect you, but they certainly won’t give you the same display of importance as they did for Yang Hao.
“President of Tianmei Media?”
“Ruohan, doesn’t that make him your boss??”
Chen Ruohan hadn’t kept her signing with Tianmei Media a secret, so as soon as Zhao Nana learned of Yang Hao’s identity, she immediately turned to look at her friend next to her.
“Yeah, that’s right!”
Chen Ruohan nodded.
“Ruohan, you couldn’t already know Mr. Yang, could you?” Zhao Nana was quick to respond.
“I’ve met him twice, once at the girl group audition, and once at the cat café near the school; Fang Ke was there too that time.”
Seeing that she couldn’t keep it hidden any longer, Chen Ruohan casually mentioned the two seemingly insignificant encounters.
“So it was all happening behind the scenes, no wonder you weren’t interested in going out to eat!”
Zhao Nana felt sure that her friend’s relationship with Mr. Yang wasn’t simple, but without further information, she couldn’t guess what it was.
For the anniversary celebration, the students in the audience were there to provide atmosphere, clapping when it was time to clap and cheering when it was time to cheer, so the scene wouldn’t be too quiet.
The event proceeded orderly, and for the most part, it was pretty boring, with the students below the stage clapping until they were numb.
The only thing that could slightly pique the students’ interest was the establishment of the “Yang Hao Scholarship Foundation.”
Because it was closely linked to every student present, the “Yang Hao Scholarship Foundation” would support not only students in financial need but also established the “Yang Hao Academic Scholarship” and the “Yang Hao Special Scholarship.”
The “Yang Hao Academic Scholarship” was for those students with excellent academic performance, which means that outstanding students at Jiangcheng University of Finance and Economics now had a chance not only for provincial, municipal, and university scholarships.
But also for a Yang Hao Academic Scholarship, which offered a higher amount than the provincial, municipal, and university awards.
The “Yang Hao Special Scholarship” had an even broader reach, rewarding students who brought honor to the school, such as winning arts or sports competitions nationwide.
Besides that, acts of bravery and righteousness were also rewarded!
Following the announcement of the foundation’s establishment.
Yang Hao personally awarded the first batch of students the Yang Hao Academic Scholarship.
And one student who was commended by the school last month for an act of bravery received a “Yang Hao Special Scholarship” worth ten thousand yuan!
The distribution of these scholarships undoubtedly stimulated all the students present.
First, the amount of the scholarships was high, and second, the scope of distribution was wide.
This gave students who had previously held no hope for scholarships a glimmer of hope, making many of them silently cheer in their hearts: Mr. Yang is awesome!!
Fang Ke felt a sense of pride as well, puffing out his chest proudly, and with a smug look on his face, he said to Liu Feng next to him, “How about that, my brother-in-law is incredible, isn’t he!”
At that moment, Liu Feng had no response; indeed, the man was impressive, having just handed out several hundred thousand in scholarships in one breath!
However, this amount was merely a drop in the bucket compared to the two billion invested in the foundation. Even if they disbursed five hundred thousand a year in scholarships, it would only amount to five million in ten years, and just fifty million in a hundred years!
And who knew if Jiangcheng University of Finance and Economics would still exist in a hundred years; at least, everyone present wouldn’t live to see that day!
So, Yang Hao truly became the god of wealth for all students at Jiangcheng University of Finance and Economics!
“We should pray to Mr. Yang before exams from now on!”
“No doubt about it, Mr. Yang is our god of wealth!”
Some students murmured quietly.
The establishment of the “Yang Hao Scholarship Foundation” and the distribution of scholarships propelled the anniversary celebration to its climax, with students’ applause and shouts stemming from genuine enthusiasm rather than mere courtesy.
“I really didn’t expect Mrs. Yu to become the president of the foundation.”
“It looks like her relationship with Mr. Yang is not simple!”
A colleague of Dai Yunfei exclaimed in astonishment.
The establishment of the Yang Hao Scholarship Foundation had been kept a secret by the school authorities. Only a few high-ranking officials were aware of it, as they planned to announce it during this anniversary celebration as a surprise for everyone.
Therefore, Yu Ranran’s position was revealed only during this event, and previously only a handful of people like Li Jianguo knew.
Hearing his colleague’s comment, Dai Yunfei’s expression turned thoroughly bleak. He had been so vocal about the law of the jungle, and now, he had just experienced its cruelty first-hand.
Yu Ranran had sought strength and attached herself to Yang Hao, the billionaire CEO!
Then, she skyrocketed to success, transforming from an ordinary university instructor to the manager of a two-billion asset foundation.
Thinking back on his previous conversation with Mr. Yang, it seemed utterly ridiculous!
In today’s money-driven society, he, a poor PhD, was worthless in front of a billionaire!
