I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 499 - 497: Are You Interested in Expanding the Campus?

Having been away from Huaxia for so long, the first thing Zhang Menglong did upon returning was to indulge in an intimate rendezvous with Lu Yiyao, of course, those scenes were premium content.

...

"So you made all those who betrayed you go begging?" Lu Yiyao, lying on Zhang Menglong's chest, had her mouth wide open the entire time as she listened to his story.

"If it weren't for my ancestors, the Mahalast Family would have died out over 2000 years ago. These unworthy descendants don't even know gratitude, and they even want to monopolize the assets. Who else should I teach a lesson if not them?"

"Buying all those military supplies to support the Tambat Kingdom and dressing war prisoners in women's clothes in front of both armies' lines... What in the world is in your head? Is it all shit?" Lu Yiyao had long known what Zhang Menglong was like, but each of his actions refreshed her understanding of the term "flamboyant."

When it came to flamboyant maneuvers, if Zhang Menglong claimed he was second in the world, then from the time Earth was born to its destruction, no one would dare to claim they were first.

"Hahaha, it's not all shit, there's also you!" Zhang Menglong said sleazily and planted a kiss on Lu Yiyao's face.

"No thanks, I don't want to mix with that crap."

"Hahaha, starting next week we'll officially become graduate students. What are your thoughts, Student Lu Yiyao?"

"Speaking of that makes me upset!" Lu Yiyao pouted, "I'm afraid we can't go to and from school together anymore."

"Ah? Why?" Zhang Menglong was taken aback. The distance between Jiangnan University of Science and Technology and Lu Yiyao's Music College was just one street, merely a fifteen-minute walk.

He even had Lamborghini customize a small electric scooter for him, after all, some joys you just can't experience in a sports car.

"Isn't it because of last year's pandemic, this year's graduate enrollment has increased," said Lu Yiyao with a sunken tone, "This year our Music College has increased enrollment by 20% compared to last year, and the classrooms and dorms in this campus area aren't enough. According to the school's arrangements, our pop singing major has to move to another campus."

"Which campus?"

"The one in Lindong District."

"Damn! Doesn't that mean we're going to be in a long-distance relationship?" Zhang Menglong couldn't help but curse. Although both Lindong District and the Jiangdong District, where Jiangnan University of Science and Technology was located, were within Jiangnan City boundaries, one was to the east, and the other to the west, and the distance between them was a full 40 kilometers.

Although Zhang Menglong had a private plane and transport was not an issue for him, this completely lacked the sweet flavor of a campus romance.

Zhang Menglong had always had a deep fixation on campus love; his dreamy romance involved attending classes together, wandering together in a corner of the campus, eating together in the cafeteria.

But if Lu Yiyao truly went to that campus, then all these scenes wouldn't come to pass.

With this thought, Zhang Menglong's face suddenly darkened.

"Alright, don't be unhappy. It's just a bit farther away, right? I can still have dinner with you at home in the evening!" Lu Yiyao coaxed.

"It's not the same at all. Bah, we still have three years of grad school!" said Zhang Menglong, "I'll think of something. There's no way I can let you go to that godforsaken place. This is practically turning into a long-distance relationship."

"Pfft!" Lu Yiyao couldn't help but laugh out loud. Although 40 kilometers was within the same city, in this traffic-heavy city, it indeed qualified as a long-distance relationship.

Even with a well-developed subway system, it would probably take two hours to cover those 40 kilometers, which a regular person really couldn't bear in terms of time cost.

Although Zhang Menglong had a private plane, in the city, he could only use a helicopter, which he couldn't just fly whenever he wanted to. Each flight required approval, and it was very troublesome, so it was no surprise Zhang Menglong was so agitated.

Zhang Menglong dialed Hong Yi's number, "Hong Yi, there's something I need your help to think about a solution for."

Zhang Menglong briefly explained the situation to her, "See if there's any way to resolve this, whether it's possible to switch the specialty that's being transferred to the campus in Lindong District to another one?"

"Mr. Zhang, that might be a little difficult. The colleges in Jiangdong District have already filed with the education authorities. If we want to make changes, we still need to go through a long approval process."

"What about the Lindong District?"

"Because the Lindong District campus has just been completed, the related procedures might be delayed by a month or two. We can start with the pop singing major's residency to operate."

"Is there a way?"

"There is, to expand the Jiangdong District campus of the Music College. As long as there's a new college building to accommodate those students, the problem would naturally be solved."

"Forget it," Zhang Menglong rolled his eyes outright; expansion was simply a matter of money, and if spending a few billion could give Zhang Menglong a perfect graduate love life, he definitely wouldn't skimp on that money.

But if they really were to expand, just constructing one college building might take two to three years, by which time they'd all have graduated—what would be the point then?

Moreover, the school couldn't just expand whenever they wanted. Although he could expedite the approval process through Mr. Zhou's connections, you need land to expand, to begin with!

The Music College was surrounded by universities on three sides; it certainly couldn't expand into another school, could it?

And on the other side, there was a game company's headquarters; you can't exactly tear down their building to make room for the school expansion, right? And building construction requires time, doesn't it?

Wait a minute!

Zhang Menglong's eyes lit up!

Wasn't the game company's headquarters building already a perfect teaching building? A company with networks, communications, electricity, and so on, all well equipped.

They just needed a slight renovation and to transport some teaching equipment inside. As long as they had enough personnel and high efficiency, it would take at most a week to start taking shape.

"I'm really a genius!" Zhang Menglong slapped his own head brimming with wisdom. Didn't this solution just come to him?

"Hong Yi, help me find the phone number of the president of the Music College."

"What are you up to?" Lu Yiyao looked at Zhang Menglong, who was visibly excited. "What clever idea did you come up with this time?"

"Heh heh, you'll know in a bit."

It took less than a minute for Hong Yi to send the phone number to Zhang Menglong's mobile. It was only a little past eight o'clock now, so unless the president was very health-conscious, he shouldn't have gone to bed yet.

...

The start of the university semester was indeed a headache for all teachers. After a day full of work, Gao Yuewei, the president of the Music College, finally had some time to himself.

"It really doesn't let one live in peace!" Hearing his phone ring again, Gao Yuewei couldn't help but show a wry smile.

"Hello, this is Gao Yuewei." Based on Gao Yuewei's experience, the caller was either some professor or a student's influential parent; these were all too common sights for someone who had been president for so many years.

"Hello, President Gao, I'm Zhang Menglong, a student from the neighboring Jiangnan University of Science and Technology."

"A student of Science and Technology?" Gao Yuewei was taken aback; this was an utterly unrelated connection. Why would a student from Science and Technology contact him? And how did this student have his private number?

Zhang Menglong? Why did that name sound familiar? It wasn't a student from the Music College who'd caused trouble elsewhere and was now coming to him to complain, was it?

"Is there something I can help you with, student?" President Gao asked.

"President Gao, are you interested in expanding the campus?"
