Chapter 551: Chapter 549: Coming to Class on Time is the Best Way to Thank Me

Gong Li’s intuition told her there were unspoken depths to Xue Yang’s words.

"Teacher Gong, I remember that the school’s entrepreneurship center offers many conveniences to students."

Gong Li raised an eyebrow, already anticipating what he was about to say. "Didn’t you rent an entire building off-campus? What, isn’t that enough for you?"

She was indeed curious. When he first started his studio, he didn’t think of using the school’s entrepreneurship center. Why the sudden interest now?

"Room 303 of the school’s entrepreneurship center is currently vacant. If it could be utilized, it would be making the most of the resource," Xue Yang stated bluntly, sounding thoroughly prepared.

Gong Li took a sip of her tea, inwardly admiring his attention to detail. He even knows which classrooms are empty. He clearly came prepared. Just as he said, he would have come to class today even if I hadn’t summoned him.

The tea swirled gently in the cup, and time passed quietly amid its fragrance. Gong Li did not rush to state her position, and Xue Yang, for his part, seemed perfectly patient.

"First, tell me how you plan to use the school’s entrepreneurship center," Gong Li finally asked. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"I recently acquired Yonghui Supermarket, and there’s a batch of inventory that needs to be cleared out," Xue Yang revealed his true intentions. "So I want to take advantage of the conveniences of the entrepreneurship center."

"But I imagine there’s more to your plan, isn’t there?" Gong Li said with a faint smile. Her understanding of Xue Yang now went beyond the surface. After their conversation today, she had a much deeper sense of him. She realized he wouldn’t be satisfied with merely meeting an immediate need.

"In that case, write me a detailed application. Come find me when you’re done," Gong Li stated her terms.

However, Xue Yang simply took a prepared application from his pocket and handed it to her with a smile. "Teacher Gong, I already have it ready. All it needs is your signature."

Looking at the document before her, Gong Li couldn’t help but exclaim, "So you had this planned all along."

"Teacher Gong, I know you’re busy, so I didn’t want to disturb you more than necessary," Xue Yang replied with a smile. "I’ve carefully considered this application and detailed the plan and purpose for using the entrepreneurship center. I believe it will meet all your requirements."

Gong Li took the application and began to read it carefully. She found Xue Yang’s proposal to be thorough and comprehensive. It covered not only the specific process for the clearance sale but also included subsequent market analysis and brand promotion plans. She couldn’t help but admire his foresight and meticulous planning.

No wonder he was able to start such a large game company at such a young age. This young man’s potential is immeasurable.

"This application is very well written," Gong Li set down her teacup and nodded in approval. "It seems you really have made all the necessary preparations."

Xue Yang gave a humble smile. "You flatter me, Teacher Gong. I just hope to fully utilize the school’s resources to support my business. At the same time, I also hope to contribute to the school’s entrepreneurial atmosphere."

Pleasantries? Who didn’t know how to spout those? Especially since Xue Yang had recently been dealing with slick operators from the business world, his skill in such exchanges was becoming quite polished.

Upon hearing his words, Gong Li found herself appreciating Xue Yang’s ambition and vision even more. But I feel that what he wants to do surely goes far beyond this. As for what he truly wants to do, since the application doesn’t mention it, I won’t ask.

Without another word, Gong Li signed her name on the application.

"You should know the procedure from here. I’ll call the entrepreneurship center to smooth things over for you. If all goes well, you should get approval today."

"Thank you, Teacher Gong. Without your support, it wouldn’t have been possible to secure a spot in the entrepreneurship center so quickly."

Gong Li replied, feigning annoyance, "Attending your classes on time is all the thanks I need."

Xue Yang grinned like a cunning wolf, his eyes sparkling with the light of victory.

With his goal achieved, Xue Yang picked up the application and walked with determined steps toward the entrepreneurship center office. Just before he reached the door, he called Cui Hao.

"Hurry to the entrepreneurship center office."

On the other end of the line, Cui Hao’s voice held a note of confusion. "Godfather, what are you doing there?"

"Just get over here. Stop wasting time with questions," Xue Yang responded curtly, his tone brooking no argument.

"Okay, I’ll be right there."

After hanging up, Xue Yang pushed open the door to the entrepreneurship center office, where a staff member greeted him warmly. "You must be Xue Yang, right? Teacher Gong just called. Let me see your application, and I’ll stamp it for you."

In truth, even if Teacher Gong hadn’t made a special call, the staff at the entrepreneurship center wouldn’t have given Xue Yang any trouble. His reputation on campus was already legendary, and everyone regarded him with respect and high expectations.

Ten minutes later, Xue Yang had the keys to Room 303 of the entrepreneurship center in his hands.

At the same time, Cui Hao came rushing over. "Godfather, what’s the big rush? What are we doing?" he asked, still a little bewildered.

Xue Yang smiled slightly and tossed the keys to him. "These are the keys to Room 303 in the entrepreneurship center. This classroom hasn’t been used for a long time and is probably covered in dust. Your task is to get some people together as soon as possible, clean this place up, and make sure all the equipment is in working order. I have important plans for this room."

Cui Hao caught the keys, a glint of excitement in his eyes. "I understand, Godfather. Rest assured, I’ll get it done right away."

With that, Cui Hao turned and left, eager to get started. He knew that Xue Yang’s plans were always born of extraordinary foresight and deep thought, and this time would be no exception. He not only had to ensure the classroom was clean and the facilities were functional but also had to prepare for any unexpected situations that might arise.

Cui Hao acted quickly. Immediately after receiving Xue Yang’s instructions, he organized a group of student volunteers and headed back to the classroom. They got to work at once—some swept the floor, others wiped the windows, and others checked the equipment. The room was soon a flurry of activity.

"Hey, look! Room 303 looks brand new. It must have a new owner."

Hearing the commotion, students from other teams in the entrepreneurship center gathered around curiously. They saw that Room 303 was now clean and tidy, as if it had been given a new lease on life.

"Excuse me, who applied for this classroom?" a senior from the Room 302 team asked curiously.

"I know. It was Xue Yang," someone nearby immediately responded. "I just saw him go into the entrepreneurship center office."

"Oh? Why would Xue Yang suddenly apply for a room here?" another student exclaimed in surprise. "Doesn’t he already have a whole building rented out off-campus? Why come back to compete with us for space?" His words were tinged with confusion and curiosity.
