Chapter 552 School Design Renderings
Meng Chuan is in the spotlight again.
Although Meng Chuan rarely appears online, there is never a shortage of news about him online.
This time it's because of Shanghai University.
On the homepage of Shanghai University's official website, a bright red announcement is prominently displayed at the top—
"Meng Chuan, a proud student from Shanghai University, has successfully passed his doctoral graduation assessment!"
The page also included a photo of Meng Chuan looking radiant during his defense, as well as an abstract of the dissertation that caused a stir in the academic world.
Almost instantly, the message exploded across the internet like a drop of water thrown into a pot of boiling oil.
Although few people could understand or comprehend Meng Chuan's words and his dissertation.
However, this did not dampen the excitement of netizens.
The trending topics lists on major social media platforms started refreshing rapidly.
Dr. Meng Chuan graduated
This topic surged to the top of Weibo's trending topics list in just over ten minutes with unstoppable momentum.
The popularity is still skyrocketing at a visible rate.
Meng Chuan's 100 billion yuan charity, which had originally dropped to ninth place in popularity, has bucked the trend and risen to second place.
In any case, almost all news about Meng Chuan on the internet dominates the trending topics.
On short video platforms such as Douyin and Kuaishou, videos about Meng Chuan's graduation are everywhere.
The editors pieced together footage of Meng Chuan from his youthful days when he enrolled in school to his confident and eloquent presentation at the thesis defense.
Accompanied by rousing music, it is "Proud Youth," a song written by Meng Chuan for students taking the college entrance examination.
Moreover, it was sung by Meng Chuan and Meng Jixiang.
The perfectly fitting background music quickly propelled these videos to over 100 million views.
Netizens were lavish in their praise:
[OMG! What an amazing academic genius! While others are still struggling to graduate with their bachelor's degree, he's already earned his PhD!]
Last year, he achieved godhood in the college entrance exam; this year, before the exam is even over, he has already attained enlightenment.
My goal for this year's college entrance exam was Shanghai University. I thought I could become a classmate of the academic genius Meng, but I didn't expect that I couldn't even see his taillights.
My mom asked me why I was kneeling while watching the news...
The comments section was completely buzzing with excitement, filled with exclamations of amazement, envy, and admiration.
Meanwhile, experts and scholars in the financial field also joined in the heated discussion.
Renowned economist Professor Li published a long article on his personal social media account:
Meng Chuan's academic achievements are not only a personal honor, but also a blessing for my country's economics community.
The dynamic equilibrium model of financial markets he constructed is highly likely to become an important theoretical cornerstone for future economic research and practice.
Well-known financial commentator Ms. Wang also said on Weibo:
Meng Chuan's doctoral graduation is the most vivid interpretation of the word 'genius'! His dual achievements in academia and business are unprecedented!
Of course, there is never a lack of different voices online.
Some netizens commented sourly:
Graduating so quickly, did you take some shortcut?
Graduating with a PhD is no easy feat; there's probably something fishy going on behind the scenes!
For the wealthy, getting a prestigious makeover is never a difficult thing.
However, these doubts were quickly refuted by many others:
[Meng Chuan's previous papers were even adopted by the state; his ability speaks for itself, so what is there to question?]
[My idol can donate 100 billion to build a charitable university, would he care about the empty title of a doctoral degree? The person upstairs has ulterior motives.]
[Dare to insult my idol? My Meng family army will be the first to object!]
Do these online scumbags dare to introduce themselves?
Many people were so verbally abused that they had to close their private accounts.
In fact, quite a few people were actually doxxed by resourceful netizens.
Then news of people being bombarded with rotten eggs is commonplace.
But these are all things for later.
Meanwhile, Meng Chuan had already returned to Haihu Manor.
No matter what the public opinion storm is like, it will not affect Meng Chuan's normal life.
Because Meng Chuan himself is not the type of person who likes to show his face in public.
As long as Meng Chuan is at Haihu Manor, no one will be able to affect him.
He was intently discussing the latest developments in the construction of the Yunxia Mountain Charity University with Fu Wang and Ying Die.
"Meng Chuan, the project is progressing faster than expected. The foundation work is basically complete. Shen Yue's design renderings have already been sent to me."
As Yingdie spoke, she handed the tablet computer to Meng Chuan.
The renderings are really good; at first glance, they look lush and green.
The buildings are layered and stacked, and although there are no skyscrapers, the area covered by each building is very large.
It is planned to be divided into multiple functional areas, located in various parts of the mountain.
Most importantly, a ladder has been built in the middle of Yunxia Mountain, leading directly from the foot of the mountain to the top.
It is paved with stone slabs, with a total of 999 steps.
"Shen Yue really put her heart into it."
Meng Chuan nodded in satisfaction.
Climbing the high ladder is definitely one of the highlights of the university.
Whether they are students or tourists, they will probably all take on the challenge.
"We haven't decided on the name for the most important school yet."
"That's what Yingdie said."
“Since it’s a charity school, let’s solicit applications from the entire internet! You can tell Dao about this and let Dao handle it.”
As Meng Chuan was speaking, his phone suddenly started vibrating wildly.
During this period, Meng Chuan's mobile phone was bombarded with WeChat messages, text messages, phone calls, and all sorts of messages.
Meng Chuan had no choice but to turn off the mute function.
But since the call was from Dean Zuo Silan, Meng Chuan still answered it.
“Meng Chuan, there are reporters everywhere outside the school right now, all wanting to interview you, look…”
Meng Chuan smiled helplessly:
"Dean, as you know, I don't want to be interviewed."
Dean Zuo Silan said understandingly:
“I knew you’d say that, so I’ll go and cover for you. But Meng Chuan, you’re now the star of our Shanghai University. When can you arrange a time to come back and give a speech, especially when the new students enroll in September…”
Dean Zuo Silan's voice was full of anticipation.
Meng Chuan smiled:
"Okay, I'll try my best to arrange it then."
"I knew you were the best. The dean didn't spoil you for nothing."
Dean Zuo Silan hung up the phone excitedly.
It was as if they were afraid Meng Chuan would change his mind.
Meng Chuan's lips twitched.
I couldn't help but recall the scene where I had swiped the teacup from Old Huang and how she tricked me into giving it away with a combination of coaxing and intimidation.
That really hurts!
Meng Chuan had just put down his phone when it vibrated again; it was Liu Qian calling.
"Meng Chuan, you're now famous beyond your circle! There's news about you all over the internet!"
Liu Qian's voice was filled with excitement and pride.
"Sigh, I never expected the school to release the message. Now we're going to get attention again."
Meng Chuan said with some distress.
"Okay, don't worry, this is a good thing! By the way, the college entrance exam ends tomorrow. Should I go to Shanghai to help you, or should you come back?"
Liu Qian can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Having taught two graduating classes of senior high school students, she was truly exhausted and just wanted to relax with Meng Chuan.
"Wait for me at home! I can't stay in Shanghai any longer, I'll go back tomorrow."
