Chapter 353: Didn’t You Not Get Enough Yet? (Additional Chapter for Monthly Ticket 1/5)

Large school cafeterias often serve more than just students; VIP areas in these cafeterias are like private rooms in restaurants, allowing for reservations and seat arrangements. These areas are typically used by school leaders to entertain guests from out of town.

Although Mei Fang was officially a student, he was also considered a distinguished guest at Peking University. As one of the most talked-about young CEOs in recent years, while he may not have warranted a personal reception from the president, he still merited the attention of department leaders.

The main guests at this dinner included the deans of the Game Design Department, Computer Science Department, and Music Department, as well as some团委 (youth league) leaders and counselors. The only other student who could join was Jiang Peihuan, the president of the Game Design Department, as he was responsible for organizing and communicating with everyone.

Mei Fang wasn’t accustomed to such social engagements. Usually, his uncle handled company affairs, but when dealing with high-level executives from companies like Tencent, Mei Fang had to step up. He was naturally adept at such situations and immediately greeted everyone with a smile.

“Everyone, I’m truly sorry. Last night, there were too many things to handle at the company, and this morning, when I came to register, I left in a hurry and forgot my work phone… Everyone must have been waiting long?”

“No, no… We just got here. Mei Fang, Xia Yuan, and Lin You Xi, please sit down. Peihuan, you can start serving the food.”

“Alright, Dean, I’ll go right away.”

Dean Li Tiancheng of the Game Design Department was a middle-aged man with glasses, looking sharp and capable. At just over 40, he already held a prestigious position as a dean, especially in the sensitive field of game design, showing his skills and determination.

A dean at a 985 university holds a rank equivalent to a department head, which is slightly higher than Mei Fang’s father, Mei Lijun. This difference in rank means that deans have significantly greater influence and networks, and being industry mentors, they command respect. Mei Fang naturally showed great respect to these three individuals, ensuring he gave them their due face. After introductions, he stood up and saluted each person.

“I’m late today, so I will drink three cups of penalty later to make sure I fulfill all the formalities.”

“Afang, what do you want to drink? You’re driving later,” Xia Yuan reminded him. Mei Fang slapped his forehead and said, “Oh… Look at me, I completely forgot… I’m really sorry.”

“It’s fine, fine. It’s understandable given how busy you are, Mei Fang,” Dean Li Tiancheng patted Mei Fang on the shoulder. “Mei Fang, I know that many young people nowadays don’t like the formalities of business dinners. There’s no need to force yourself.”

“Thank you for your understanding, Deans. But I will still show my respect by using tea instead of alcohol.”

Dean Wu Meixia from the Music Department chimed in, “Mei Fang, indeed, you are a hero among young people, handling matters maturely and stably. No wonder you have achieved so much.”

“I wouldn’t say I’m mature or stable yet. There’s still a lot I need to learn. Even though I’m busy with work, I still want to study and accumulate knowledge to enrich my career. I look forward to having rich gains at your esteemed university.”

“Right, right. We’ve discussed quite a bit last year. I understand your thoughts on this. Regarding the learning and development plans for you three, the departments have already talked to you. Considering that you recently moved your company to Peking, there might be many things to handle, so we’ve adjusted some of the previous terms. You can review the details.”

Mei Fang took the tablet from Jiang Peihuan and confirmed the special provisions agreed upon privately with Peking University:

– Exemption from military training;

– No requirement for on-campus accommodation, but a waiver form must be signed;

– No attendance or weekend roll call requirements for required courses, but participation in final exams is mandatory;

– No requirement for elective credits;

– Entrepreneurial activities can directly earn full marks for quality development credits;

“Previously, our agreement had higher academic requirements. Considering the rapid growth of C Station, you probably don’t have much time to attend classes, so we’ve reduced these demands. See if it suits you…”

“Afang, let me see too…”

Xia Yuan and Lin You Xi joined Mei Fang to look at the special provisions, and Xia Yuan exclaimed, “Dean Li, this is too lenient. It feels like we’re just getting a degree.”

Xia Yuan always had a knack for making everyone laugh. Mei Fang thought, “Isn’t that exactly what we’re here for—to get a degree and network?”

“This is certainly beneficial for us, but I worry it might cause dissatisfaction among other students, affecting Peking University’s reputation.”

“These are special considerations within the rules of the university. Given your current ventures, students will likely understand and not criticize much. After all, even without these provisions, we know how young people spend their time in college, ahahaha.”

At this point, Dean Guo Song from the Computer Science Department added, “Besides what we’ve offered, we hope you will develop better here. We’ve specially prepared further graduate school recommendations for you, especially for You Xi. In high school, you won first place in NOIP. I feel sorry that you didn’t participate in the subsequent NOI program. As a senior in the computer industry, I think it’s a pity.”

“Hmm… Competitions are exhausting, and I prefer staying with Afang rather than undergoing intensive training.”

Lin You Xi’s concise words made everyone laugh. “Then, have you considered continuing your studies here?”

“I’m just starting college. I’ll need to understand the professional situation before deciding if further education is meaningful. The company is quite busy.”

Unlike Mei Fang’s versatile nature, Lin You Xi was hard to sway. Although others had shown much goodwill, she seemed indifferent. Of course, this was her style. Seeing this, Mei Fang quickly interjected, “It’s too early now, but I do plan to continue my studies here. Since I don’t intend to go abroad, Peking University’s game design program is undoubtedly the best in China.”

Even without direct commitments from the three of them, securing Mei Fang’s commitment was enough.

Leaders understood who the key figure was among the three.

After all the pleasantries, Mei Fang made a donation pledge as an alumnus, which naturally earned full support from the department leaders. Finally, Mei Fang, Lin You Xi, and Xia Yuan could return to their car.

“Whew… Talking to adults is really tiring. If the food weren’t so good, I’d have left long ago.”

“You really left quickly this time. You even took the passenger seat.”

Xia Yuan proudly placed her hands on her hips. “I don’t want to always play the role of the comic relief. It makes me seem like just a passerby, not Afang’s girlfriend.”

“Yuan Yuan, you’re so cute. But—being in the passenger seat isn’t the only way to take control of Afang.”

“What?”

“Hey, what are you talking about—pfft—”

Lin You Xi adjusted the seat, making Mei Fang’s driver’s seat recline flat, then began kissing him.

“Hey… How many times do you two want to do this before stopping?”

“Oh, you still haven’t had enough?”

Xia Yuan pouted, realizing she couldn’t join in.

But—

Xia Yuan’s gaze landed on…

Lin You Xi and Mei Fang were in the midst of their affectionate moment, noticing Xia Yuan’s actions, they couldn’t help but laugh.

“Oh, you still haven’t had enough?”
