Chapter 268: Three Months
Chapter 268: Three Months
Time, that elusive concept, sometimes crawls at a snail's pace, making days feel like years, and other times it races by in a blur.
And just like that, three months have passed since Li Wu took over Jiangnan University.
Three months ago, some had predicted that Jiangnan University would go bankrupt within a month under Li Wu's management.
But three months later, Jiangnan University, molded into various shapes by Li Wu, still stands.
And it is said that things are going quite well.
Someone compiled a timeline of Li Wu's actions after taking over Jiangnan University.
On September 12th, Li Wu expressed his intention to run for Student Council President, and on the same day, the entire student body elected him to the position.
On September 15th, Li Wu captured and imprisoned corrupt elements within Jiangnan University, led by Hao Renyi, eradicating parasites from the university.
On September 17th, Jiangnan University began its reforms, implementing a credit system.
On September 25th, Jiangnan University announced an internal competition and subsequently launched its online marketplace, establishing cooperation with Li Wu's Lu Corporation.
On September 30th, Jiangnan University's task system was established and put into operation, and credits became available for external exchange.
The final major move began on October 1st, when Li Wu invited Alliance Cultivators to Jiangnan University for academic exchange.
This exchange lasted for an entire month.
According to official statistics from Jiangnan University, a total of 811 Cultivators participated in the exchange.
Among them were 31 Master-level Cultivators, with the rest being Professional Cultivators.
Every participant in this exchange gained something, and the biggest beneficiaries were undoubtedly Jiangnan University and Li Wu.
Li Wu successfully convinced 188 Cultivators to stay at Jiangnan University.
This number was limited due to many Cultivators already being affiliated with certain factions, making it difficult for them to switch jobs; otherwise, this figure might have been even higher.
With the addition of these Cultivators, Jiangnan University's Breeding Academy was swiftly established.
Jiangnan University's Cultivator Tutor Academy began to improve its task system, and its marketplace continuously introduced new products.
During this exchange, the title 'Little Teacher Li' began to spread.
It is said that even Master-level Cultivators followed the disciple's etiquette when facing Li Wu.
This news further enhanced Li Wu's reputation as a demon among cultivators.
It can be said that after this exchange, Li Wu's status in the Summoner world underwent a significant change.
Previously, people regarded him as a demon, a future Grandmaster, and a potential big shot.
But after this exchange, people realized that Li Wu had already grown, at least in the field of cultivation. He was now an undisputed big shot among cultivators.
Even Master-level Cultivators followed the disciple's etiquette when facing Li Wu, indicating his formidable reputation in the cultivation community. Some even bestowed upon him the title of Grandmaster.
Following the exchange, Li Wu and Jiangnan University halted all major activities, and Li Wu disappeared from the public eye for over a month.
He remained out of sight until December 5th, when Jiangnan University released an official announcement.
The announcement stated that from December 15th to 17th, Jiangnan University would open its doors to the public.
During this period, anyone who had spent over 500 credits in the Jiangnan Marketplace or had 500 credits in their account could present the relevant proof to enter Jiangnan University and spectate the university's first Summoner Tournament.
This announcement was an invitation and a marketing strategy. Many who had already invested in the competition and were interested in Jiangnan University took action.
On that day, the sales of Jiangnan University's online marketplace reached new heights.
Zhang Wentao, behind the scenes, was counting the money with a wide grin.
But what excited Zhang Wentao even more was not the revenue from this transaction; he was eagerly anticipating the day of the school's open house on December 15th.
As the saying goes, "Wealth and honor without returning home is like wearing fine clothes and walking in darkness."
Jiangnan University had finally turned things around, and Old Zhang couldn't wait to show off.
So, the suggestion to hold an open house was actually proposed by Zhang Wentao.
He just wanted to put on a show.
Li Wu had already known about Old Zhang's hobby back when they were in Beijing.
So, he didn't stop him this time.
This old man had also been through a lot; after working hard for most of his life, he finally had a chance to show off, so why not let him have his moment? It's not like he had nothing to show.
Time flew by, and soon it was December 15th. Jiangnan University was particularly lively that day.
The university was bustling with activity, with people coming and going.
One reason was that it was the first day of Jiangnan University's open house, and another was the upcoming final round of the Jiangnan University Grand Competition.
On this day, Zhang Wentao was busy early on at the university's entrance.
"Hey, isn't this Old Li from Dong University? You're here too, come, come, have a seat, have a seat."
"Director Zhao from Shanghai University? Hello, hello, please come in, please come in..."
"Professor Liu from Capital University, hello, hello, hello..."
...
The president of Jiangnan University himself was greeting guests at the university gate.
This might have been a bit undignified, but Zhang Wentao was particularly enthusiastic and excited.
He specifically targeted people from other schools.
Whenever he found someone, he would pull them aside for a chat.
He showed off and boasted in various ways.
Sometimes he would say, "My hands have been a bit dry lately," and then take out the golden-grade item that Li Wu had given him.
Whenever he attracted attention, Zhang Wentao would wave his hands.
"This thing? It was given to us by our Little Lu?"
"Buy? No, no, no. This was just something our Little Lu casually made. The quality? It's just golden, very ordinary."
"Don't talk about this, don't talk about this. Oh, my eyes are a bit blurry.
Oh, it's our new main gate that's causing it. Li Wu, this kid, he's something else. I told him the original gate was fine, and there was no need for renovations, but he wouldn't listen. He even spent over a million on a new gate.
And then he worked with the masters from the Breeding Academy to turn it into a tool, saying it has detection and even dominance against lord-level functions.
Why does he bother with all this? Who would attack our Jiangnan University?
Isn't this a waste of money?
Although we only spent a million points, if someone else did it, it might cost tens of millions.
Li Wu, this kid, is good in every way, but he's never experienced hardship and doesn't know how to be frugal."
It seemed like Old Zhang had been suppressed for too long, and now that he finally had a chance to show off, he couldn't hold back. He was completely letting loose.
Each person he showed off to was almost driven crazy by his boasting.
If it weren't for their curiosity about the current Jiangnan University and the Grand Competition, they wouldn't have wanted to see Zhang Wentao's nouveau riche attitude.
...
Is there anyone there? Make some noise!
