"It's student Lin Xuan's microchip project," the principal answered.
Currently, the project was just in its initial stages, and its location would be changed later.
He had specifically asked Lin Xuan about this, and Lin Xuan had said there was no need to keep the project's current location a secret for now.
So, the principal told Jiang Yutong the truth.
"Principal," Jiang Yutong said with a faint smile, "my previous major was related to microchip projects. You can ask around; my grades were pretty good. I'm quite interested in this microchip project. Do you think I could join too? I was a graduate student at Stanford University, so I could join your project as a doctoral student at Shangqing University."
The principal looked at Jiang Yutong with a strange expression.
Joining the microchip project... Could it be that Jiang Yutong's donation of a teaching building and multimedia equipment was all for the sake of the microchip project?
He couldn't shake the feeling that she had ulterior motives.
Reason told him that Jiang Yutong was highly suspicious. Her joining the project team could very well be an attempt to steal research data.
However, she was offering to donate ninety million to Shangqing University...
Jiang Yutong asked once again, "Principal, I wonder if I can join the microchip project team?"
The principal frowned and asked, "President Jiang, if I refuse, will you take back all of your donations?"
Jiang Yutong raised an eyebrow. "What do you think?"
The principal said awkwardly, "I'm truly sorry, President Jiang, but I can't make the call on this. I still need to ask the company's directors."
"Alright, I'll wait for your news, Principal." Jiang Yutong's face looked very calm.
In reality, she was praying internally.
She absolutely had to be allowed to join Shangqing University and the project team.
If she couldn't join, she didn't know how else she could get close to Lin Xuan.
"Principal, you can rest assured. I simply believe that this microchip project will be a success and will greatly benefit the country. I just want to contribute my part to such a project," Jiang Yutong said.
"President Jiang, I understand. However, please wait a moment. I will go and ask for the opinions of the two directors right now."
The principal walked over to a corner and first made a call to Su Hua.
"President Su, it's like this. There is someone here who has donated ninety million worth of assets to the school. Her condition is that she wants to join the microchip research team. I wonder if we can let her join?" the principal asked respectfully.
Su Hua answered expressionlessly, "Just ask Ah Xuan about this. His decision is my decision."
"Understood, President Su." The principal nodded.
After hanging up the phone, the principal couldn't help but shake his head.
Could President Su be considered completely under her husband's thumb?
The principal then called Lin Xuan.
"Student Lin Xuan, I have a matter to discuss with you," the principal said.
"Go ahead," Lin Xuan replied.
The principal answered, "There's someone who wants to join the microchip project team. She studied a related major and has a very high level of expertise."
Jiang Yutong could be considered a genius.
Her name was quite famous; even he knew of her.
As for why she later entered the skincare industry, which had absolutely nothing to do with her major, he didn't know. Back then, when people heard she had started a skincare company, everyone felt it was a pity.
Lin Xuan said expressionlessly, "Reject her. My project doesn't lack geniuses."
These technologies were all ready-made, brought over from another world.
He didn't need any incredible geniuses.
The principal added, "Student Lin Xuan, she donated a teaching building and thousands of sets of teaching equipment, with a total value of up to ninety million. If we don't let her participate in the project's research, she will withdraw the donation."
Lin Xuan paused slightly.
Ninety million...
When the principal didn't hear Lin Xuan's voice for a while, he thought Lin Xuan was determined to refuse Jiang Yutong.
It made sense.
Lin Xuan owned the massive Tianmu Group, and President Su also owned the Su Group. It was perfectly normal for Lin Xuan to look down on a donation of nearly a hundred million.
He spoke up, "Student Lin Xuan, I'll go and reject her right now."
"No, no, no," Lin Xuan said. "Let her stay. I agree to let her join the project team."
Free money delivered to his doorstep—it would be a waste not to take it.
The principal was slightly taken aback. "Student Lin Xuan, she's clearly coming for the microchip project. Her motives are impure. Aren't you worried she might steal the project's research results?"
Jiang Yutong was a member of the Jiang family.
Although stealing other people's research results wasn't in line with the Jiang family's usual style.
But it was better to be safe than sorry.
For Jiang Yutong to come right up and demand to join the microchip project was simply too suspicious.
Lin Xuan sneered and said, "She won't be able to steal the success of my project."
"Also, Principal, you need to sign an agreement with her. The terms must state that she cannot leak the slightest bit of information about the project's research. Otherwise, she will have to pay a penalty of three billion."
Speaking of which.
Lin Xuan actually hoped she would leak it. That way, he would earn a massive sum of money.
"If she's willing, have her sign the contract. If she's not, then forget about it," Lin Xuan said.
"Alright, Student Lin Xuan, I'll go arrange it right away."
The principal's face was full of smiles. This was truly wonderful.
This ninety million donation wouldn't fly away.
Moreover, judging by Lin Xuan's tone, even if Jiang Yutong had some sort of scheme, she wouldn't be able to pull it off.
The principal had his secretary print out a contract.
Then, he took the contract and went to the reception room to find Jiang Yutong.
Jiang Yutong stood up, her heart beating rapidly with nervousness.
"Principal, have you made a decision?"
"Yes," the principal nodded. "It's decided."
The principal handed a contract over to Jiang Yutong.
Jiang Yutong frowned. "Principal, this is..."
The principal answered, "President Jiang, this is a contract. Please read the contents carefully. If you are willing, sign it. If you are not, then forgive Shangqing University for not being able to cooperate with you."
Jiang Yutong took it and glanced over it.
The clauses listed inside were entirely about not leaking any content regarding the microchip project's research.
For Jiang Yutong, there was absolutely nothing unacceptable about this. After all, her goal in joining the project this time was Lin Xuan.
Everything else was trivial to her.
"I can agree to these," Jiang Yutong nodded. "However, I also hope to sign an agreement with Shangqing University."
"President Jiang, please speak," the principal said.
Jiang Yutong replied, "That is, as long as I don't violate Shangqing University's school rules and don't engage in any actions that harm the microchip project, you cannot make me leave Shangqing University or withdraw from the project team. Additionally, since my work is quite busy, I hope to arrange the time I spend participating in the project's research myself."
She had to make preparations in advance.
Just in case one day Little Xuan got annoyed by her pestering and kicked her out of the school.
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.

Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
