Treasures in the School

The principal was visibly agitated, his hands trembling with excitement.

It was obvious that the lithography machines and chips Lin Xuan was researching were no ordinary technology.

His goals were undoubtedly set incredibly high.

If Lin Xuan truly managed to develop world-leading chips and lithography machines, it would absolutely create a massive sensation globally.

It would also bring immense benefits to the country.

"Lin Xuan, can we really develop these lithography machines and chips relying solely on students from Shangqing University?" The principal asked, his confidence wavering slightly.

"Principal, you can rest easy. Give me the profiles of twenty more students. I'll interview them one by one. If we're short on manpower, I'll select staff from the Su Group and the Tianmu Group to join the research team."

"As for all the equipment and funding required for the research, my company will provide it."

The resulting chips would be the joint achievement of Shangqing University, the Tianmu Group, and the Su Group.

And since the shares allocated to Shangqing University were entirely controlled by him and Hua, providing the equipment for free wasn't a loss at all.

"Good." The principal nodded. "I'll have someone select twenty more students immediately."

"Mm."

Lin Xuan nodded.

The principal looked at Lin Xuan, hesitating as if he wanted to say something but stopping himself.

Lin Xuan noticed and frowned, asking, "Principal, is there something else?"

The principal asked apprehensively, "Lin Xuan, how confident are you that we can successfully develop the lithography machine and chips?"

Lin Xuan replied, "One hundred percent."

The ready-made technology from the other world was right there for the taking.

If he still couldn't manage to produce advanced lithography machines and chips, he would have to be incredibly stupid.

The principal's eyes lit up.

If anyone else claimed they could one hundred percent develop the world's most advanced lithography machines and chips, he would think they were speaking nonsense.

But coming from Lin Xuan, he felt that if Lin Xuan said it, it would definitely be done!

The principal was overcome with excitement.

Although he wasn't personally participating in the research, he was the principal of Shangqing University.

If they really pulled this off, it would be a glory that stayed with him for the rest of his life.

"Good, good, good!" The principal grinned from ear to ear. "Lin Xuan, whatever you need for your research, just tell me. I support you unconditionally!"

"Okay, thank you." Lin Xuan nodded.

The principal looked at Lin Xuan with sparkling eyes.

What a treasure of a student!

He attracted good students, brought in great investments, and made the school famous internationally.

Now, he was leading Shangqing University to research the world's top technology.

If these lithography machines and chips were truly developed by Lin Xuan, he could guarantee that for the next twenty years—no, fifty years!—Shangqing University's status as the number one institution in the Xia Kingdom would be unshakable!

Lin Xuan raised his right hand, checked the time on his watch, and said, "It's still early. Principal, send the thirty students from the list to interview with me first. While I'm interviewing them over the next few hours, please gather the remaining twenty students."

"Alright, I'll arrange it right away." The principal nodded.

The students had been arranged to wait out in the hallway.

They whispered curiously among themselves.

"The teacher called us here for a research project interview. If we pass, we can join the team. What kind of project do you think this is? It's all so mysterious."

"I feel like this project must be really important! I heard the principal is personally overseeing it."

"Sigh, everyone shouldn't expect too much. It's just a university research project; how big can it be?"

For new technology research, you have to look at internationally renowned corporations. Schools can't really churn out anything significant.

"No! This project is definitely huge and important," a girl spoke up.

"You sound so certain. Did you hear some rumors?" another student asked curiously.

The other students all pricked up their ears.

"No," the female student shook her head. "It's my intuition as a woman."

"Tch—"

The students' faces showed disappointment.

They thought she had actually heard some news.

Turns out it was just intuition.

How reliable is intuition?

The girl said indignantly, "What's with those expressions? Let me tell you, my intuition is really accurate."

The students ignored her.

The girl pouted, "You don't believe me? Just wait to eat your words later."

Regardless.

She was determined to perform well in the upcoming interview and get selected.

"Hua."

Lin Xuan walked over while talking on the phone. "Remember to eat lunch on time today, and get some proper rest. Don't get too absorbed in work. Take a break every once in a while, okay?"

When talking to Su Hua on the phone, Lin Xuan's expression looked exceptionally gentle.

The female students waiting for the interview looked at Lin Xuan, their faces filled with excitement.

"Did you see that? It's Lin Xuan! Lin Xuan actually came too. Is he here to interview as well? Just the thought of participating in the same research project as my idol makes me so excited!"

She had originally been invited to participate in a research project for a large corporation.

She had planned to just phone it in for this interview.

But her idol was participating in this project!

For this school project, she was definitely going to give it her all!

The other female students shared similar thoughts.

"Hey, who do you think he's talking to? He looks so gentle."

If he could be that gentle with her, she felt she would die of happiness just thinking about it.

"I don't know, but I guess he's talking to President Su," another girl said, shaking her head.

She was a PhD student.

She had seen Lin Xuan a few times, but this was the first time she had seen such a tender look on her junior's face.

Unsurprisingly, he was likely acting this way toward his girlfriend.

"Boohoo, I'm so envious of President Su. If Junior Lin Xuan could treat me like that, I'd be willing to shorten my life by two years."

Among them was a male student who was extremely jealous of Lin Xuan. He used to be the department heartthrob and had quite a few fangirls in the school.

He also had a crush on a girl.

Ever since Lin Xuan changed his hairstyle and style to become the campus heartthrob, the fangirls who used to like him had all flocked to Lin Xuan.

Even the girl he had a crush on now considered Lin Xuan her idol.

This male student, named Chen Mo, couldn't stand Lin Xuan.

He muttered sourly, "What's so great about him?"

Lin Xuan was just a kept man relying on a woman to get ahead.

The Tianmu Group's success was definitely due to President Su's help.

Relying on Lin Xuan alone, there was no way he could have grown the Tianmu Group to its current scale.

If President Su gave him unconditional support to develop a company, after two years, his company would probably be doing even better than the Tianmu Group.

If Lin Xuan had truly acquired everything he currently possessed entirely through his own efforts, then he was operating on a level that was practically inhuman.

He simply refused to believe it. There was no way Lin Xuan was that kind of genius.
