The incident involving Guo Mingrui had once caused quite a stir. Students in several dormitories, including the Seventeenth Dormitory, Sixteenth Dormitory, and Thirteenth Dormitory, were aware of it. Among students, there were quiet discussions: "Did Su Cen from the Seventeenth Dormitory really get into a fight with Guo Mingrui from the Film Academy It should be true, right The Academic Affairs Office is said to be investigating strictly. That day, Guo Mingrui even called campus security and wanted to detain students..."

The primary concern was that as a conflict between a student and school staff, the administrative body of the university would always loom over students like an omnipresent authority whose legitimacy could not be questioned. Students generally felt its weight when they first entered this prestigious university through national unified entrance exams with great difficulty. Students who had managed to enter one of China's top universities by any means necessary certainly wouldn't sabotage their own future.

And in reality, conflicts with the school administration left ordinary students' rights nearly nonexistent.

The incident involving Guo Mingrui was also quite large due to the actions of the parties involved. Su Cen's repeated late-night absences and his conflict with Guo Mingrui in the disciplinary office further exacerbated this situation. Moreover, Su Cen's reputation among both students and faculty staff wasn't unknown.

Many people didn’t realize that Guo Mingrui was still ignorant of how to maintain a low profile and deliberately targeted Su Cen for publicity, which was somewhat foolish.

Everyone had their own considerations. Perhaps Guo Mingrui simply didn't regard Su Cen as anything significant in his eyes.

A somewhat notorious troublemaker from the 17th dormitory, one with a small reputation, was naturally someone he could handle.

As for Su Cen running a company while still a student, this wasn't uncommon either. Since the early '90s, professors from top-tier universities like Nan Da and Tong Ji had started to venture into business. These academic professionals possessed theoretical knowledge, expertise, reputation, and social status, making it not unusual for them to be both educators and entrepreneurs simultaneously. Several deans and professors at Nan Da also ran their own investments or real companies in related industries. It wasn't uncommon to see them driving BMWs or Mercedes-Benzes to class. Guo Mingrui didn’t just have the identity of a lecturer at Nan Da; he had shares outside, too, living quite comfortably. Naturally, it was unlikely for him to be intimidated by Su Cen from a social status perspective.

Furthermore, despite being temporarily sidelined to the dormitory management office by the school administration, Guo Mingrui did have some influential backing. Thus, he wasn't afraid of people whispering behind his back as he kept a low profile. Instead, he was eager to make something of himself so that he could climb up again in no time. Therefore, clashing with Su Cen was an inevitable outcome under the circumstances.

“I heard there's talk over at the School of Film and Arts; they're saying that since you've already beaten up Guo Mingrui, why didn't you punch him a few times on his face When they saw Guo Mingrui walking by, they thought it was far too lenient of you not to hit him. You really don’t need to be so polite,” Li Han said sternly; Chen Jia, Li's girlfriend, was from the School of Film and Arts where this Guo Mingrui was notorious as an enemy of their female students.

Although the incident initially caused quite a stir, things took a dramatic turn afterward. Guo Mingrui, who had been boasting about Su Cen's contempt for school rules and his violent behavior towards faculty members and threatening to expel him from the discipline office, found himself faced with reality like hitting a hard wall after seeing Su Cen walk away confidently.

According to rumors, he was warned by high-level school administrators. No matter how brazen Guo Mingrui was, there would be limits; understanding that the school had weighed options between him and his senior brother working at the municipal education committee before ultimately siding with Su Cen made it clear that in front of this seemingly ordinary student, even his connections couldn't sway much. Therefore, he wisely withdrew.

"He fell on his own, I didn’t touch him," Su Cen thought people talking about him was intimidating; the incident of him fighting Guo Mingrui had spread so widely that it likely reinforced the image of him being a troublemaker.

"These are just minor issues," Zhang Xiaqiao said. "I know Lu Chuming is exactly as he appears in public and at school, never smiling from beginning to end. His daughter couldn't stand his repressive nature at home for long and went off to study in America, not coming back. She got married there; when she did, she called him up on her wedding day saying she had wanted out since a little girl because of his personality traits. This had a significant impact on Lu Chuming, and now his wife, Zhao Auntie, has a lot of complaints about him. When talking to my mom about this issue, she cries every time. I knew things wouldn't be good when I first heard he was our college's vice dean. Who would have thought you’d manage to tame him Not only did you give him cigarettes, but even the stern Lu Chuming didn’t slap any punishment on you; is that too unrealistic or does it truly indicate your success Is Nan Da really trying to cultivate something in you"

It's not surprising that Zhang Xiaqiao and the others occasionally have such thoughts during conversations, given Su Cen's high profile at Nan University. With universities promoting entrepreneurship among college students, the number of tycoons produced by a university has become an unofficial competition metric among prestigious institutions. Regardless of whether this trend is correct or not, it does reflect one ultimate goal of university business education: to produce individuals who can create wealth using their knowledge.

From their perspective, Nan University's special treatment towards Su Cen may stem from the fact that they've already included him in their network of entrepreneurs and officials. Like other major universities worldwide, Nan University aims to unite these individuals and hopes for their future success to benefit their alma mater.

Su Cen refrained from making extensive comments on this matter; he understood that Nan University's motivations were not solely based on such superficial factors, and the reality might be far more complex than he imagined.

The incident involving Guo Mingrui seemed to be just a minor chapter in Su Cen’s life at Nan University. During this period, both Vice Dean Lu Chuanming of the Economics Department and those from related academic affairs offices showed noticeable changes in their attitudes towards him.

They didn’t treat him as an ordinary student; it was evident in their demeanor. Su Cen doubted that these people knew about his current ventures overseas, where being the same name as a Facebook founder might not necessarily make him famous worldwide. Even though the establishment of FaceBook Chinese had sparked recruitment fervor in Shanghai with thousands interviewing over two days—a scene rivaling civil service exams—Su Cen didn’t think everyone was aware he was behind it.

The acquisition of shares in the game world 'Martial Beast' was being carried out secretly; now, even people close to him were unaware of this significant event that had caused such a stir. Therefore, there was no need to mention how outsiders knew nothing about it at all.

This situation made it clear: the only factor likely making Lu Chuanming and others reassess Su Cen's worth would be his appearance sitting beside Zhan Hua during the establishment ceremony of Nan University's prestigious financial research institute.

The mere situation could inspire endless imagination among those with sharp minds. Even Nan University was cautious around Su Cen, indicating the significant influence Jahan had in Shanghai.

And now, this is precisely what Su Cen feared most and also the crux of the matter: he and Jahan were not partners or allies.

In their battle over Facebook, Su Cen had outmaneuvered Jahan. Furthermore, in the major event where Dayong Construction invested in Chuan Nan Airlines, Su Cen uncovered significant misconduct by two securities firms with ties to Jahan, effectively severing his influence. The pain and impact clearly indicated one thing.

They were enemies!

To Su Cen, this enemy was still formidable. All the current circumstances resulting from being at odds with Jahan, including the exceptional respect from Nan University’s Economics Department for him as a student and the university's subtle attitude toward him, were abnormal developments. Perhaps in some unforeseen future day, these circumstances might drastically reverse.
