"Are you coming with me to check it out today?" Chen Ye asked Deadpool, adjusting his collar.
Today was a very important day for Chen Ye, which was why he was dressed in a more formal manner than usual. He was wearing a Zhongshan suit; he found suits too constricting.
It was also a big deal for Hell's Kitchen.
Because the only community college in Hell's Kitchen, sponsored by Chen Ye, had finally been renovated.
Deadpool wasn't wearing his black and red suit today, revealing his burned face.
Deadpool's face was burned due to cancer. He participated in the X-Project to survive, which gave him regenerative abilities. His regenerative abilities and cancer were in a state of dynamic equilibrium, so Deadpool's appearance was permanently scarred.
So, it was true that Deadpool was the most shameless person in Marvel because he literally had no face.
Deadpool was lying there watching TV with his left hand propping up his head and the remote in his right hand. He replied listlessly, "I don't have any motivation today. I got dumped by the bartender, Belinda. I'm not going anywhere today."
Chen Ye heard this and couldn't help but say, "You were only dumped unilaterally. When aren't you dumped?" After saying that, he didn't bother with Deadpool and went straight out the door.
Chen Ye also chose not to drive; after all, the Community College wasn't very far from Chen Ye's neighborhood.
So Chen Ye planned to walk there and patrol the streets he was responsible for at the same time.
On the way, Chen Ye watched the streets he was responsible for become orderly. There were even people setting up stalls to sell authentic bags and breakfast. Chen Ye even saw Chinese vendors pushing breakfast carts selling soy milk and fried dough sticks.
Looking at the peaceful neighborhood, Chen Ye felt that his efforts over the past year hadn't been in vain. If it had been a year ago, Chen Ye imagined he would have seen a group of gangsters fighting, not the scene before him now.
The changes before his eyes made Chen Ye want to say, "Nothing to do today, let's go enjoy some music."
Without realizing it, Chen Ye found himself already at the gate of the Community College.
Kingpin, standing in front of the gate, seemed to be talking to his secretary, Sharon O'Casey, while pointing at the entrance.
Chen Ye hurried forward and said to Kingpin, "Uncle Kingpin, why are you here today? It would have been fine for Sharon to accompany me."
"Hahaha, my good godson's school has been renovated, how could I not come? Besides, I am also a school board member, and I contributed half of the money, you know. If anyone dares to cut corners, I'll send them to meet God immediately." Kingpin seemed very happy; perhaps he also wanted to contribute to the education of his hometown.
Kingpin then said to his secretary, "Sharon, introduce us properly."
Sharon O'Casey nodded and stepped forward to introduce, "Currently, our community college has three areas: the teaching area, the living area, and the activity area. The teaching area has a Teaching Building and a Library. The Teaching Building has three floors and 36 classrooms, with three classes per grade for grades 1-12."
"The living area has a Canteen and a Dormitory Building. A Dormitory Building currently has six floors, with 20 rooms per floor. Each room is 200 square feet and can accommodate four people. There are still two more buildings under construction. Wouldn't 200 square feet for four people be a bit small, Mr. Chen Ye?" the secretary inquired.
Chen Ye touched his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "Change it to six people per room."
The secretary kindly asked, "Mr. Chen Ye, wouldn't six people be too crowded?"
Chen Ye, upon hearing this, immediately turned his head and narrowed his eyes, staring at the young secretary. "Many children in Hell's Kitchen don't even have a place to sleep, six people per room isn't crowded at all."
The Kingpin, standing beside Chen Ye, nodded slightly upon hearing this. After all, for the Kingpin, a local of Hell's Kitchen since childhood, having a stable place to sleep wasn't a problem, even if it meant six people to a room.
Chen Ye thought to himself that this secretary was living too comfortably. He should let her visit the university dorms in the distant East. 200 square feet, approximately 18.5 square meters, could house ten people in some universities there. He was already being generous by not having the university dorms built to prison standards.
Besides, how much money did the families of those kids in Hell's Kitchen have? Some of them didn't even have parents. Chen Ye didn't expect them to pay tuition or accommodation fees. He was providing them with free housing, and they still wanted more?
Perhaps realizing she had spoken out of turn, Secretary Sharon continued, "Of course, compared to before, this school can provide the children with a safe learning environment and has even installed heating in the dorms. Your generosity will definitely be remembered by the children of Hell's Kitchen in the future."
In America, the cost of installing air conditioning is generally much higher than installing heating. That's why Chen Ye hadn't installed air conditioning in the school. It was difficult to die from heat, but in the New York winters, it was certainly possible to freeze to death.
The secretary's flattery clearly hit Chen Ye's sweet spot. Although Chen Ye's initial intention in building this school was simply to give the children a place to study, it was also a good thing to leave a good reputation.
The secretary continued to lead Chen Ye on a tour of the campus, introducing, "As for the activity areas, we have currently built two basketball courts and a boxing gym. And, as you instructed, we have also built a Shooting Range. The American Football Field you requested could not be built due to insufficient area."

"Currently, we only need to wait for the government's Department of Education to approve our application, and then we can start recruiting professors and begin enrollment. However..."
The secretary glanced at Kingpin with some hesitation. Then, she explained to Chen Ye, "Regarding recruitment, the gangs in Hell's Kitchen get a constant supply of fresh blood from the teenagers. If you were to recruit them all into the school, Mr. Chen Ye, the gangs wouldn't agree. You should be aware of that."
"I am aware," Chen Ye replied, throwing the problem to Kingpin, "I believe Uncle Kingpin won't just sit by, will he?"
Kingpin took a puff of his cigar and said, "I'll have invitations issued in your name, inviting them to a meeting at my company. They'll give me face. As for how you persuade them, that's your business."
"That's enough. I'll handle the rest," Chen Ye knew very well that the gangs in Hell's Kitchen were unruly, as if they were the only ones who mattered.
Even Kingpin might not get their cooperation. After all, there were only so many teenagers in Hell's Kitchen, and the gangs themselves couldn't absorb them all. Now, Chen Ye wanted to take them all. If it were him, he probably wouldn't agree either.
However, if Hell's Kitchen wanted a future, a community college was a must. Children were like blank slates, but Hell's Kitchen was only black. What Chen Ye wanted to do was to make even the black, a colorful black!
After his moment of contemplation, Chen Ye's gaze landed on the school's fence. He then turned to his secretary, Sharon, and instructed, "Install barbed wire on the fence, and electrify it. I want to ensure that both outsiders and the school's students only have one way in and out: the main gate."
