who was this Lin Yi?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had he done some good deed worthy of an interview by Xinmin Evening News?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consequently, after a series of investigations, this representative\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>discovered that this Lin Yi had already been advised to withdraw from the school a few days prior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Advised to withdraw?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the reporter wore a strange expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, the documents state it was due to excessive absenteeism and skipping classes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The school representative said this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then he asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"May I ask, Miss Reporter, what is your reason for seeking this student?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet at this moment, the reporter looked at the school representative in charge of reception with a strange expression, thinking to herself,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this really how you operate? You directly advised a promising entrepreneurial star to withdraw,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and most importantly, according to Mr. Jia of LeEco, if this student were to sell Fengyi Technology, it would be worth one billion;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>for such a billionaire, your school would actually discard him? Even Tsinghua or Peking University probably wouldn't be so unwise!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, these thoughts remained in the reporter's mind and were not spoken aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she already had the news draft formed in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Lin Yi was not at the school, the reporter lost interest in staying there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, before leaving, the reporter casually interviewed a few male students, asking them about Lin Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it happened, these male classmates recounted several things about Lin Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, selling tea eggs and small commodities at the university, setting up a small convenience store in the dormitory, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he frequently worked part-time jobs off-campus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even sent a portion of the money he earned to his parents in the mountainous region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the reporter's interviews, the image of a student born into poverty yet constantly striving to improve became increasingly vivid and lively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the school advising Lin Yi to withdraw, that was merely because Lin Yi had offended a school leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only because a certain leader abused public power for private gain that the advice to withdraw occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, there were many students at the school who skipped classes; why was only Lin Yi advised to withdraw?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the account from this fat student surnamed Wang,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the reporter from Xinmin Evening News felt that a spectacular headline news story had been born in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A student born into poverty yet constantly striving to improve,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>yet suppressed and expelled by a school leader because he had offended them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the reason this student was advised to withdraw was surprisingly due to his entrepreneurship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, this student carried a heavy burden and moved forward, and at last night's press conference, the company he founded shone brilliantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a perfect news story!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reporter thought to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the reporter from Xinmin Evening News, having obtained first-hand information, left the school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, not long after she left, reporters from Oriental Net and Sina News arrived at Modu University of Engineering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So many reporters showed up at once, and they were all looking for one person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a fool would know something must have happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, upon hearing that Lin Yi had been urged to withdraw, these media reporters, just like those from Xinmin Evening News, began conducting impromptu interviews within the school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They happened to encounter a few students who knew the inside story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, that very evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xinmin Evening News published a front-page headline story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ten-Billion-Yuan Entrepreneurial Genius Urged to Withdraw by School!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This headline immediately grabbed the readers' attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This newspaper visited Modu University of Engineering today,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>intending to interview Mr. Lin Yi, the owner of Fengyi Technology, who released a new lithium battery technology last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, after our investigation, Mr. Lin Yi is not the rich second-generation heir some assume;
