Zhonghai Jiaotong University Xuhui Campus, the earliest campus of Zhonghai Jiaotong University, boasts a long history, beautiful surroundings, and over 40,000 students, 80% of whom are master's and doctoral students, with only 20% being undergraduates, and those are only third and fourth-year students nearing graduation.
The Advanced Institute of Finance, which Tang Yuanis about to attend, is an international finance college established by Zhonghai Jiaotong Universityfollowing the model of world-class business schools, offering the most comprehensive high-end financial management education product line, including MF, MBA, EMBA, PhD, GES, and EE programs.
MF stands for Master of Finance. Among all the degrees at Gaojin College, only the MF program can be directly pursued after undergraduate graduation. Other degrees, such as MBA and EMBA, typically require more than three years of full-time work experience.
Tang Yuan completed his undergraduate studies at Zhejiang University. Nearing graduation, he received a recommendation quota from his university. After considering his family's recommendation and his career intentions, Tang Yuan ultimately chose Zhongjiao Advanced Institute of Finance because it consistently ranks among the top financial institutions in the country, only slightly behind Tsinghua, Peking, and Fudan Universities. For most people, it's already considered the pinnacle.
Students who can get into Zhongjiao Advanced Institute of Finance must not only be excellent themselves but also come from wealthy families, as the annual tuition fee of 80,000 yuan is certainly not a small sum for ordinary families.
Tang Yuan saw that the surrounding crowd was subtly growing, and he knew he couldn't let it continue like this. So, he quickly walked towards the security office at the school gate, and the onlookers who were originally gathered around all instinctively made way for Tang Yuan, their eyes filled with scrutiny.
Arriving near the security office, Tang Yuan gestured to the security guard inside and then politely said, "Hello, security guard. I'm a new student in the 2018 class of our school's Advanced Institute of Finance, but I haven't had time to complete the enrollment procedures yet. Can you see if I can drive my car in first?"
Many students pursuing MBA, EMBA, and other degrees at the Zhonghai Jiaotong UniversityAdvanced Institute of Finance include successful business owners or executives from various listed companies. Therefore, the Advanced Institute of Finance allows students to drive in, charging by the hour. The first 10 hours are free, and beyond 10 hours, there's a charge of 25 yuan for every additional hour.
As long as you don't mind the cost, you can park for as long as you want and park as many cars as you want. This system is quite reasonable, as most students pursuing MBA degrees are part-time, driving to class every day and leaving after class, rarely exceeding 10 hours.
"You... you said you're a new student at our school?"
"You want to park all five of those supercars inside our school?"
The security guard talking to Tang Yuan, after understanding Tang Yuan's intention, couldn't help but slightly open his mouth, and his voice even rose.
"That's right."
Tang Yuan smiled and nodded, confirming again.
"Wait a moment."
The security guard swallowed, then closed the window and frantically ran off to consult his superior.
Tang Yuan stood at the school gate and wasn't in a hurry. He looked at the lush French plane trees within the campus and the historical reddish-brown buildings, feeling full of anticipation for his two years of study ahead.
Soon, the security guard who had just spoken to Tang Yuan, accompanied by a middle-aged man in a leather jacket with a leadership demeanor, quickly walked out from the school gate.
"Little brother, this is Li Tao, the head of our school's security department."
After they met, the security guard very tactfully introduced him.
"Section Chief Li, because my family wanted to give me a surprise, they didn't inform me in advance and directly sent these small gifts to the school gate, affecting the normal teaching and administrative order of our school. I sincerely apologize for the trouble I've caused you."
Tang Yuan spoke first, with a hint of apology on his face.
Small gifts?
Supercars with a total value of over a hundred million, and he calls them small gifts?
That's truly outrageous! It's like outrageous's mom opened the door for outrageous, utterly outrageous!
Li Tao looked at the five supercars of various colors not far away, his mouth twitching slightly, and at the same time, he felt a faint tremor in his heart. In an instant, his mind concocted many incredibly absurd identities for Tang Yuan, and his thoughts began to gradually spiral.
"It's nothing, nothing at all."
Faced with Tang Yuan's proactive apology, Li Tao felt somewhat flattered and waved his hands repeatedly: "I just contacted the Gaojin College academic affairs office on my way here and confirmed your identity. You can drive your cars in first. When you complete your enrollment procedures later, ask them to register your license plates, and then you'll be able to drive in and out of the school freely."
Tang Yuan nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Thank you, Section Chief Li. I'll drive the cars in now. I'll visit you when I have a chance."
"You're too kind, too kind."
Although Li Tao didn't know Tang Yuan's exact background, just based on the fact that he could call supercars worth over a hundred million yuan "small gifts," he knew this person was someone he couldn't afford to offend. Having such a background and still being so humble and polite made his favorable impression of Tang Yuan skyrocket.
Having resolved the issue of driving into the school, Tang Yuan didn't linger too long by the security office. Instead, he quickly walked back to the center of the area and called Fan Aiwen over.
"Mr. Fan, could you lend me four people to help me drive these supercars into the school?"
Tang Yuan asked directly and concisely.
"No problem."
Fan Aiwen agreed without hesitation: "Mr. Tang, I'll drive one for you, and I'll find three more people. With their driving skills, there will definitely be no issues."
"Alright, let's go now. The remaining people will clean up the site and restore order at the school gate as quickly as possible."
After Tang Yuan finished speaking, he walked first to the yellow Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta, opened the door, and sat inside. Fan Aiwen, on his side, first gave a couple of instructions to his subordinates, then selected three people, who then got into the remaining four Ferrari LaFerrari Apertas.
"Vroom!"
"Vroom, vroom, vroom!"
As the five Ferrari LaFerrari Apertas started simultaneously, the roaring engine sounds began to rise and fall in succession.
Seeing this, the surrounding people all instinctively dispersed. When they saw Tang Yuan driving the yellow Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta, leading the remaining four Ferrari LaFerrari Apertas slowly into the campus, the scene immediately erupted again.
"They're going into the school! It's confirmed, this person really is a student at our school! These days are new student registration days for various colleges, so he's probably a new student without a doubt!"
"Oh, sisters, look how handsome he is driving that Ferrari with one hand! I think I've definitely found love!"
"Love your ass! If you want to hook a rich young master, just say so! We're all old foxes, what's with the pretense?"
"Sisters, don't invite me to any more drinking parties! As a sensible girl, I plan to start trying to conceive today!"
"It vaguely feels like a romantic novel's domineering CEO coming to life, doesn't it? I wonder who the fated woman will be?"
"Girl, do you think it's possible that it's not just one, but a group?"
...
The many students at the school gate watched the Ferrari convoy gradually move away, discussing animatedly. At the same time, the news of a super-rich young master appearing in the school spread rapidly throughout the campus.
