I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

Chapter 37 I like those projects that burn money

"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.

"Since when has Old Han been so kind to an undergraduate?" the professors were dumbstruck.

Han Jinyu's strictness was well known, even towards his own PhD students his demands were extremely high. When had they seen him being so amiable to a student?

As mentors, they knew all too well that they never personally guided the students' scientific research. What they cared about were results, and at most, they would only provide a research direction. When had it been their turn to personally guide a student?

There was something fishy about this student's identity!

"Wait, didn't they just mention equipment?"

"Could it be that the investor Han mentioned is this student?"

"That's impossible, right? How could a student come up with ten billion?"

As if to slap them in the face, Han Jinyu added another line, "Menglong, I will definitely produce results with this one billion of funding you've given me. You just relax, and as for this year's outstanding graduation thesis, I will also do my best to help you get it, and your senior brother will give you his full support."

"This one billion really is from this student!" Upon hearing this, all the teachers were suddenly ablaze with envy. What kind of luck had Han Jinyu stumbled upon to land such an extraordinary student? Research funding of a billion just like that!

"Excuse me, young man, wait a moment," Zhou Wenmin immediately put on a beaming smile, "Student, I hear you're offering ten billion for our college's scientific research fund, is that right?"

"Yes, may I ask who you are?"

"Oh, I am Zhou Wenmin, the head of the Polymer Science Department. I am pretty much the same as your Han teacher here at our Jiangnan University of Science and Technology. You know, you have already supported him with one hundred million yuan of Scientific Research funds. As for my department..."

"Old Zhou, what are you doing?" Han Jinyu pulled Zhang Menglong back and protected him behind himself, "This is my student, don't touch him!"

"Hehehe, Old Han, why the big temper?" Zhou Wenmin's smile grew even broader, "The door was an accident, you know."

This student was Han Jinyu's student, and it seemed he had a very good relationship with Han Jinyu. If he offended Han Jinyu, perhaps a few words from him and he wouldn't be able to get a single cent of funding.

It should be noted that standing behind him were over eighty master's and doctoral advisors. There were plenty of monks, but not enough porridge!

"I'll have someone fix this door for you immediately, the best kind!"

"Humph!" Han Jinyu was not buying any of it, "Menglong, let me tell you, some teachers in our school are very careless. You must absolutely not give them funds lightly; you might as well throw your money away."

"Hmm, that makes sense." Zhang Menglong nodded thoughtfully. He couldn't help but chuckle inwardly; he hadn't expected this Teacher Han to be quite so crafty.

"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!"
