Chapter 332

Unlike his past life, because of employment pressure, Li Dongyue applied for a major that was easy to find employment in.

Now, with the Li family's net worth, there is no need for Li Dongyue to worry about employment. Li Dongling did not require Li Dongyue to apply for majors like business, management, or finance, or to work at Dongling Gao Ke after graduation. So this time, Li Dongyue's admission to Yanjing University was based on her own wishes for the major she applied for.

As for whether it will be easy to find a job after graduation or the salary, with the Li family's current situation, there is no need for Li Dongyue to worry!

"Is this student Li Dongyue?"

Just as Li Dongling and Li Dongyue walked over, someone came up. The leading man asked Li Dongyue, and then someone stepped forward to take the luggage from Li Dongyue's hands.

Li Dongling looked at Song Zhiliang, Zhang Yufeng, and Meng Yongen before him, but still handed the luggage in his hands to the person who had come over.

Li Dongyue glanced at Li Dongling and nodded toward Song Zhiliang.

Song Zhiliang smiled and said to Li Dongyue, "I've long heard that our school was going to have a student with excellent character and learning. Today, I've finally met you. If you need any help at Yanda in the future, you can call me directly!"

Li Dongyue took Song Zhiliang's business card with a blank expression. She didn't know where this reputation of hers came from. It was true that she was the top scorer in Pingyang, but for an institution like Yanda, which is full of geniuses, the last thing they lack is top scorers and geniuses.

Song Zhiliang and Zhang Yufeng both gave their business cards to Li Dongyue. Li Dongyue also knew that their intentions were not really about her, so after taking them, she handed the cards to Li Dongling.

After seeing Song Zhiliang and Zhang Yufeng's business cards, Li Dongling looked toward the two, then reached out his hand and said to them, "In the future, while this girl is in Yanjing, I'll have to trouble you all to look after her!"

"Since when is it their turn to manage my student!"

Just as Song Zhiliang was about to speak, Shi Guangyi came over with his hands behind his back. After seeing who was speaking, Song Zhiliang and Zhang Yufeng couldn't help but smile bitterly, but they had no way to refute this little old man, Shi Guangyi.

It was simply that Shi Guangyi's seniority and qualifications were there. As a titan of the academic world, he might not have such high power, and his net worth wasn't high, but his reputation was there. Even though Song Zhiliang and the others were powerful figures at Yanda, they didn't really want to provoke this little old man. Shi Guangyi's mouth was truly ruthless when he scolded people.

Those who study sociology have thoroughly understood history, human sentiment, and social relationships. Broadly speaking, they study decades of social change and the differences between cities and villages.

On a smaller scale, this profession studies why colleagues are not friends, why there shouldn't be financial entanglements between relatives and friends, why you should look at the mother-in-law first when finding a girlfriend, why the essence of sales is comparison, and why those who call you "old iron" (buddy) at every turn are either eyeing your wallet or your kidneys—these are all sociology too.

As a big shot in sociology today, Shi Guangyi has thoroughly studied all of these. He knows the pros and cons, understands the sinister nature of the human heart and the weaknesses of human nature. It is precisely because he has studied them thoroughly that Shi Guangyi now lives very clearly and authentically, and is too lazy to put on airs.

As for his scolding, it is indeed poisonous, specifically picking at the soft spots and things people don't want to be exposed. In any case, no one at Yanda wants to get into a scolding match with old man Shi. Those with broad minds might go home and drink a few days of sullen wine, while those with narrower minds might end up in the emergency room.

"Not bad, a good seedling. Our Yanda sociology finally has a successor!"

Shi Guangyi looked at Li Dongyue, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he was. "In a while, I'll take you to meet old man Fei and several other sociology people, so they can also see my closed-door disciple!"

"This is Professor Shi Guangyi of our Yanda, and also the dean of the Yanda Sociology Department. Professor Shi hasn't taken on students for many years!"

Song Zhiliang said to Li Dongling, then whispered, "Professor Shi and old man Fei Xiaotong are old friends of many years. If Dongyue can get guidance from old man Fei, it will be quite rare!"

Fei Xiaotong is a master of modern sociology in the country. If Li Dongyue could get a few words of guidance from him, it would be equivalent to receiving recognition from the academic world!

This point might seem like a hollow reputation, but at critical moments, this kind of reputation and influence in the academic world will play an unexpected role.

After saying a few words to Li Dongyue, Shi Guangyi raised his head to look at Li Dongling, examined him seriously for a few moments, and then said, "Did you initiate the Qilin Award?"

Li Dongling was a bit surprised that Shi Guangyi would bring this up. He nodded, "A small effort, just doing some things within my power..."

"If you did it, you did it. What's there that can't be said? Those who say you launched the Qilin Award to seek fame and reputation—just treat them as if they're farting!"

Li Dongling was truly stunned this time, but Shi Guangyi didn't stop and continued, "I do social statistics and surveys every year. At the beginning of this year, I chose Hanxi as the survey location!"

"The results I had students survey and calculate show that at Hanxi University, which is covered by the Qilin Award, the family burden of students who receive the Qilin Award compared to those who don't differs by 25%, and some even reach over 40%!

Especially in families with many children in remote areas, this impact is more obvious, because receiving the Qilin Award allows all the children in the family to go to school. The Qilin Award truly has the opportunity to change countless people's lives!"

"After universities start charging fees this year, I'm afraid this gap will widen further!" Shi Guangyi's face was solemn, and then he couldn't help but sigh.

"The Qilin Award is doing well!"

Shi Guangyi's decision to take Li Dongyue as a closed-door disciple actually had something to do with the Qilin Award. At Shi Guangyi's age, he actually cares about his reputation. It was precisely because he had truly investigated and come into contact with the Qilin Award that he could have an understanding of the Li family.

Hearing Shi Guangyi's praise for the Qilin Award, Song Zhiliang and Zhang Yufeng, who were familiar with his temper, looked at the little old man in surprise. Shi Guangyi's mouth was notoriously poisonous; for so many years, he had been spraying everyone and everything. This was the first time they had heard such words of praise from his mouth.

"The Zhixing Foundation and the Qilin Award are just the beginning!"

Li Dongling shook his head. He knew that there wasn't much the Qilin Award could do right now. Shi Guangyi's attitude toward the Qilin Award was more of appreciation.

"If Yanda is willing, the Zhixing Foundation is willing to reach a cooperation with Yanda to cover Yanjing University with the Qilin Award and the He Zun Award.

In addition, Dongling Gao Ke also hopes to reach a cooperation with Yanda. For Yanda majors such as computer science, electronics, materials, and sociology, Dongling Gao Ke is willing to donate a fund of 5 million yuan to Yanda for academic research!"

Yanda is the top institution of higher learning in the country. Being able to nurture a Fang Zheng Group is enough to prove its strength. If they can get Yanda's R&D resources and technical titans, it is definitely not a loss for Dongling Gao Ke.

As for hoping that current Yanda students will enter Dongling Gao Ke after graduation, Li Dongling is not counting on it in the short term.

It will have to wait until Dongling Gao Ke's salary and benefits are far ahead of its peers in the future before it can attract graduates from Yanda, Huaqing, and other universities to join. But that will probably take a few years. For now, being able to use Yanda's R&D and technical personnel to provide support for Dongling Gao Ke is enough.

"This couldn't be better. On behalf of Yanda, I thank Dongling Gao Ke for its support. I will report Dongling Gao Ke's proposal to the school leadership, and I think there will absolutely be no problem!"

Meng Yongen was overjoyed when he heard this. You know, as Yanda's own son, after the new head Zhang Yufeng took office this year, in order to express the relationship with Yanda, Zhang Yufeng had Fang Zheng donate 7 million to Yanda. Dongling Gao Ke's move of 5 million is already quite a lot!

Zhou Qinglun, who was on the side, had his expression toward Li Dongyue change after hearing the donation amount from Dongling Gao Ke. From now on, he decided that in the Sociology Department—no, at Yanda—whoever makes things difficult for Li Dongyue is making things difficult for the entire Yanda sociology faculty and students. Zhou Qinglun could really fight them to the death!

That's 5 million! Zhou Qinglun also knew that this fund couldn't all fall to the Sociology Department, but they had to get a little bit, right? After all, Li Dongyue is now in the Sociology Department. Yanda can't wrong student Li Dongyue, otherwise, do they still want funding in the future?

Even if the Sociology Department only gets a few hundred thousand in funding, it would be equivalent to a New Year's celebration for the entire department. Zhou Qinglun's salary could be paid in full, the meal allowance could be sufficient, and he could eat some meat.
