Under Deandre's instructions, the Acat Group's executive office, staffed with graduates from top universities, was in a state of chaos.
Some were contacting Silk City University of Finance to inform them of Deandre's upcoming visit.
Others were arranging funds to establish a scholarship in the name of Acat Group as a gesture of goodwill towards the school.
Meanwhile, others were reaching out to various media outlets to publicize Deandre's visit to the university.Given Deandre's current wealth and status, every move he made attracted nationwide attention.
Upon learning that Berloff Reed's alma mater was Silk City University of Finance, Deandre decided to reciprocate by donating a scholarship worth a total of one billion dollars to the university.
As the saying goes, "A kind gesture is always appreciated."
Deandre believed that with this approach, even if Berloff Reed came with ill intentions, he would at least show some respect and not immediately resort to hostility.
...
Silk City University of Finance was in an uproar upon receiving the notification from Acat Group's executive office.
After all, this was a global internet giant with a market value of over five hundred billion dollars.
And the person coming to visit was none other than Deandre, the nation's most prominent billionaire.
Given his status, he usually interacted with top government officials.
When abroad, he mingled with presidents and royalty from various countries.Moreover, Deandre was planning to establish a scholarship fund of one million dollars at the university this time.
Upon hearing this news, the university president and the administration were all smiles and overjoyed.
Soon, a red banner welcoming President Deandre to the university was hung at the school gate.
When the students heard that the famous internet mogul President Deandre would be appearing in the university auditorium, over a thousand of them gathered spontaneously, eager to catch a glimpse and take photos, all buzzing with excitement.
For safety reasons, the school administration had the security office gather dozens of security personnel to maintain order at the scene.
At this moment, Berloff Reed and his cousin Rebecca were strolling around the campus, chatting and laughing, when they saw the commotion.
"Wow! President Deandre from Acat Group is actually coming to our university today! It's such a rare chance to see such a big shot in person!" Rebecca's eyes sparkled as she saw the welcome banner on the auditorium, and she pulled Berloff along to join the crowd.
"Berloff, let's hurry over. We might be able to get a close-up photo of President Deandre."
Berloff chuckled, "Cousin, aren't you the one who hates ugly guys the most?"
"Deandre looks like an alien. Aren't you afraid of having nightmares if you take a picture of him?"
Rebecca playfully slapped Berloff, "You little rascal, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"I dislike ugly male celebrities. President Deandre is a self-made business icon who created convenient and amazing internet products. He's super cool."
Berloff rolled his eyes, full of disdain, "Him, cool? If I stood next to him, Deandre would be so ashamed he'd want to find a hole to hide in!"
Hearing this, a nearby male student from the university gave Berloff a disdainful once-over.
"Hey, you really think you can stand next to the billionaire President Deandre?" one classmate sneered.
"In broad daylight, can you not be so ridiculous?" another chimed in.Several other male classmates, seeing Berloff Reed, a pretty boy, standing next to the stunning and curvaceous Rebecca, were visibly annoyed and joined in the mockery.
"Well said! Do you even know who President Deandre is? Even our principal bows and scrapes before him like a servant. And who are you?"
"In the face of President Deandre's immense wealth, your looks are worthless! What's there to be proud of?"
"Exactly! Even if you stand right in front of President Deandre, he wouldn't even glance at you!""Haha... Stop giving him so much credit! If he dares to bother President Deandre when he arrives, the security will pin him to the ground!"
"Absolutely! In front of a big shot like President Deandre, this pretty boy is nothing!"
...
Facing the ridicule and taunts from his wealthy classmates, Berloff remained calm and explained, "Guys, aren't you overthinking this?"
"Actually, President Deandre is coming to Silk City University specifically to meet me."As soon as Berloff finished speaking, an eerie silence fell over the crowd.
Boom!
A few seconds later, the area erupted in laughter, with everyone clutching their stomachs and doubling over.
"Hahaha... Dude, you're hilarious! I can't take it!"
"President Deandre came to the university just to see you today? Hahaha... Did he take a liking to you? Are you going to serve him tonight or what?"
"Tsk tsk, I've lived for decades and never seen someone so shameless!""Buddy, with a face like yours, it's a shame you're not in telecom fraud."
"Wow! Our university really produces talent. Today, I've truly seen it all!"
...
Even his cousin, Rebecca, couldn't help but laugh at Berloff Reed.
She stepped back a few paces, looking both annoyed and amused. "Berloff, I haven't seen you in years, and your skin has gotten as thick as a city wall."
"When you brag, can you do it away from me? I'm here to relive my youth, not to embarrass myself with you!"Berloff shrugged helplessly. "Cousin, I'm telling the truth. Why don't you believe me?"
Hearing this, the surrounding students laughed even harder.
"Hahaha... I came to see President Deandre and ended up meeting a clown! This is hilarious!"
"Man, don't just drink. Eat something too, or you'll pass out soon."
"Kid, remember what you said! If President Deandre even acknowledges you, I'll treat you to dinner!"
...
Beep beep!
At that moment, a black stretch Lincoln limousine slowly approached the red auditorium.
Escorted by the university's security personnel, the car quickly made its way through the bustling crowd and stopped at the entrance.
After the assistant and bodyguards got out, Deandre, with his meticulously styled hair, gracefully stepped out of the car, drawing a round of enthusiastic applause from the school leaders, teachers, and students present.
Deandre smiled broadly, waving elegantly to the crowd.
Seeing this, the crowd became even more excited, and the applause grew louder.
This was Deandre, a globally renowned business tycoon.
Everyone felt incredibly fortunate to witness such a top-tier business figure in person.
Rebecca's eyes widened with delight as she stood on tiptoe, staring at Deandre, who was just a few yards away. She clung tightly to Berloff Reed's arm in excitement.
"Berloff, I see President Deandre!"
"Oh my... No wonder he's a top business mogul. President Deandre is so handsome!"
Berloff's mouth twitched slightly. "Cousin, we're still quite far from Deandre. Do you have to be so dramatic?"
"If you get to talk to Deandre face-to-face later, won't you faint from excitement?"
Hearing this, Rebecca and a group of university students around them all rolled their eyes at Berloff.
Kid, would it kill you not to brag?
