"What's going on here?" Han Jinyu's students were all bewildered by the scene before them.
All these professors were well-known doctoral advisors at Jiangnan University of Science and Technology, each with considerable achievements in scientific research, and besides the one or two classes they taught each week, they were almost impossible to find.
But today, they had all gathered in this narrow corridor, and it seemed they were looking for their advisor, Han Jinyu.
"Could it be that Teacher Han has made enemies with these professors?" The students in the office stick their heads out one after another.
"It could be so bad that even Teacher Han's door has been damaged."
"Should we go help? This is our advisor we're talking about!"
"Help with what, a basket? We're just a bunch of students, we can't afford to offend any of those professors out there!"
"Alright already, don't you have experiments to do?" Zhu Mengchao came over at this point.
"Big brother, what's going on?" someone asked.
"Oh, it's nothing. They're probably all here to brown-nose Old Han," Zhu Mengchao laughed. He had witnessed the entire episode in the office, and with those ten billion smashing down, how could these professors not come running one by one?
However, Old Han has quite the temper, and the matter of the damaged door might not be so easily settled.
"What?" After hearing Zhu Mengchao's explanation, the students became even more curious, but Zhu Mengchao didn't continue to stop them. Instead, he joined them in watching the spectacle with glee.
"Old Han, where are you? Where's the investor?" The first professor who charged in looked around the room.
This was Professor Zhou Wenmin, the head of the Polymer Department. In terms of prestige in the school, he was practically on equal footing with Han Jinyu, and besides scientific research, he also held some administrative positions in the school, actually wielding a bit more power than Han Jinyu.
But after looking around for a while, except for Han Jinyu, there was only a student in the office, and clearly, this student couldn't be the investor capable of coughing up ten billion.
"Old Han, didn't you say the investor is in your office? Are you playing with us?" Professor Zhou demanded.
"Hmph, I don't know whether the investor wants to fund you, but right now, you've really put me in a bad mood!" Han Jinyu gritted his teeth as he glared at the already damaged door.
"Menglong, why don't you go back first? We can talk about the equipment later. Just focus on your project for now, and if you run into any problems, seek out your fellow students or come directly to me," Han Jinyu deliberately said to Zhang Menglong.
"Okay, Teacher Han, I'll head back then." Zhang Menglong understood from Han Jinyu's look what he was trying to do and immediately went along with the act.
"No, no, no, it was just too crowded outside, it wasn't on purpose!" Professor Zhou realized that Han Jinyu was insinuating something about him.
"Teacher Han, you always liked the office building where I am, right? Hehehe, I'm also tired of it. Why don't I vacate that place for your research group? I'll personally go and talk to the dean."
"That's more like it," Han Jinyu's face immediately lit up with a smile. When had Professor Zhou ever spoken to him so humbly?
"Menglong, actually, although some teachers are not that great, we can still give them a chance, right?"
"Yes, Teacher Han is right." Zhang Menglong echoed Han Jinyu's words.
At this, Professor Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, old guys, I won't tease you anymore," Han Jinyu exhaled deeply, feeling much more relaxed, "This Zhang Menglong student here is the investor I mentioned. I have introduced him to you, so how much funding you can get is up to your own skills."
Having said that, Han Jinyu settled himself down to the side and began to leisurely drink tea. Such a scene was not often seen; he had to make sure to enjoy watching these proud old guys act like bootlickers.
"Menglong student, you have attended my Polymer Materials class, haven't you?"
"Bullshit! He was taught Polymer Materials by me!"
"Menglong student, do you remember me? You took my Organic Chemistry class, and I even gave you an 'excellent'!"
"Menglong student, would you like to learn about my project? My project isn't just theoretical; it can definitely provide a return on investment. We can even sign a contract, a bet agreement works too!"
"Menglong, my family has a daughter around your age. Come to my office for a visit sometime!"
"Stop bringing up your dinosaur daughter; how does she match up to our Menglong?" Another teacher immediately took out a phone and showed a photo of a very pretty girl, "Menglong, this is my daughter, absolutely a knockout compared to his dinosaur daughter!"
"Damn, I was careless! Why did I have a son?" Those teachers without daughters instantly regretted it terribly.
"Okay teachers, stop fighting," Zhang Menglong felt somewhat overwhelmed watching this unfold. As for Han Jinyu behind him, he was already laughing so hard that he was starting to cramp.
"This Scientific Research funding, I've got plenty of it. These ten billion, they're definitely not the limit for you teachers!"
Upon hearing this, all the teachers' eyes burned with desire.
"Before that, I would like to hear about your projects," Zhang Menglong added, "What I like the most are the kinds of projects that burn through cash!"
