Currently, schools are undergoing quality evaluations, and our university's ranking has continuously dropped.

Yida Group is acting according to the contract, reasonably complying, and I heard they want to build a shopping mall. There's nothing we can do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere in the meeting room was very tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Modu University is located in the city center, a prime location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This agreement was signed over ten years ago; now it's expired, and this area is very valuable, expecting them to give it up is simply impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key is Modu University has no money, can't afford the asking price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyone have any ideas?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"President, our school is already small; if the experimental building is occupied, we'll really be knocked out of the top ten, so we must find a way to negotiate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vice president in charge of planning spoke with a troubled face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Lin sighed: \"I want to negotiate too, but they won't even see me, how do I negotiate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Chen Lin is the president, Yida Group is among the top ten listed companies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They don't care about him, naturally giving no credence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even now, Chen Lin can't even meet their vice president.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, businessmen put profit first, in such valuable land, why would they give it to us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone wore faces full of bitterness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bunch of professors and deans, even though learned, are truly helpless in such matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they're great at research and technology, but in these issues, they're entirely helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Without our experimental building, the school's overall ranking will certainly drop, even affecting admissions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the director of academic affairs suddenly had enlightenment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I actually have an idea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our school is hosting an MBA class, perhaps these students have a way?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the director's words, Chen Lin also brightened up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right, are there capable students among them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The director replied: \"Quite a few of them are CEOs, presidents; perhaps there might be solutions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the director's words, everyone responded with a wry smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Modu University's development in recent years hasn't been well, and it can't compare to Huaqing, Wu University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, there's no other way, it's like treating a dead horse as if it were alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Lin didn't have much hope for these students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they came here to study, and whether they give the university face is another issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since that's the case, Director Li, I'll entrust this task to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright!\" Director Li nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Lin said: \"Find out if there are any capable students among them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's a CEO from Tianhua Group, Zhang Kai; he arrived in a Rolls-Royce worth over ten million, seems quite impressive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Rolls-Royce worth over ten million?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone gasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Driving a car worth over ten million suggests they have assets of several billion, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, let's contact this student well, make sure to invite him to the symposium.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen's class just finished, and Director Li walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dear students, I have an announcement.
