173 Back to School

“Principal Wang, Teacher Wang, thank you so much!” In Principal Wang’s office, Li Chengqian said as he kept the leave of absence note.

His first reason for coming to school was to apply for a leave of absence. Studying in school now was not of much use to him, the value add was too low.

“Li Chengqian, there’s no need to thank me. You’re the most outstanding student in Tianyi High School! I’m proud of your achievements! With your results, you really don’t need to stay in the classroom anymore,” Wang Jianjia said with a smile.

“Li Chengqian, there are conditions attached to your leave of absence. You have to come back and take the university entrance examination! We are counting on you to boost our School’s ranking this year,” Principal Wang said with a smile.

“Also, on behalf of the entire school, I thank you for your donation of 100 brainwave receivers. Our school is definitely the first school to have so many brainwave receivers!” At this point, Principal Wang’s face was filled with excitement. He looked at Li Chengqian with adoration.

Li Chengqian didn’t come empty-handed when he came to apply for leave. He donated 100 sets of brainwave receivers and matching computer facilities to the school!

Based on the current price of the brainwave receivers, this was a donation of ten million yuan.

“Li Chengqian, why don’t you reconsider my suggestion just now? How about we organize a donation ceremony for the entire school’s teachers and students?” Principal Wang’s original plan was for Li Chengqian to give a speech at the ceremony, but Li Chengqian declined to do so.

“Yeah, say a few words to motivate your juniors to study hard.” Wang Jianjia also suggested.

“Principal, Teacher, there’s really no need!” Li Chengqian hurriedly shook his head and refused.

“I still have to pack my things. I will take my leave now.” After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he ignored the two of them and quickly disappeared from the Principal’s office.

“If only I had such a child!” Principal Wang’s eyes were filled with envy and longing.

“When Li Chengqian first came to look for me, I thought that he came to apply to quit school. With his current reputation and wealth, there’s no need for him to take the university entrance examination at all. I didn’t expect that Li Chengqian actually came to apply for leave.” Principal Wang’s eyes were filled with admiration.

If he were the one to have achieved Li Chengqian’s current achievements, he would definitely not spend another day in school.

If he had so much money, why wouldn’t he just enjoy life? Why would he still have to study and learn?

“That’s right. No one at Li Chengqian’s age would be like him, to achieve his current results and yet stay so grounded,” Wang Jianjia added.

Coming out of the principal’s office, Li Chengqian met up with Ding Ling, who had been waiting for him. The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked towards Grade 12 Class 5.

Ding Ling was like a happy little elf, chattering with Li Chengqian. She wished she could tell Li Chengqian everything that had happened in the past few days.

“Li Chengqian, I saw all the comments on the internet. Everyone said that Divine Dragon Software is going bankrupt. Is it really fine now?” Ding Ling’s voice was filled with worry. Originally, when she saw Li Chengqian, she wanted to ask this question, but she was afraid that if she asked, it would make Li Chengqian sad, so she had been holding back.

“If something happens to the Divine Dragon Software Company, you should forget about the Junior Informatics Programming Competition! You should focus on handling the Company matters. This is the most important to you.”

“Your programming ability has already been recognized by everyone. You don’t need to use the Junior Informatics Programming Competition to prove anything to people,” Ding Ling said sincerely. She was afraid that this competition would affect Li Chengqian’s other matters.

“Don’t worry, it’s fine now!” Li Chengqian nodded confidently.

“Also, although I don’t need to prove anything to anyone with the results of the Junior Informatics Programming Competition, you need the results of this competition.”

“I know you’ve always wanted to go to Divine Dragon University.”

“I’m still very confident that I can help you fulfill your dream to enter Divine Dragon University,” Li Chengqian said with a smile.

After Ding Ling heard this, she fully understood the reason why Li Chengqian insisted on going to Dragon City to participate in the finals of the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. It was to fulfill her wish.

It was to help her gain direct admission to Divine Dragon University.

Girls are sentimental creatures. She was extremely moved, and the way she looked at Li Chengqian became even more loving.

If this wasn’t the school, she would definitely throw herself into Li Chengqian’s arms and hold him tightly.

“Li Chengqian, why are you so kind to me?”

“Because you’re the girl I like! When I have the ability to fulfill your wish, I’ll definitely do so.” Li Chengqian smiled very happily.

In his previous life, everyone despised him and treated him coldly. Only Ding Ling stood by him.

When everyone looked down on him, only Ding Ling still liked him.

Even when Ding Ling was shining brightly, Ding Ling still didn’t forget him. She never changed how she felt about him.

In this life, Li Chengqian naturally wouldn’t let Ding Ling suffer.

Hearing Li Chengqian’s straightforward words, Ding Ling’s face turned red to the tips of her ears. Her heart raced and she became flustered.

However, she didn’t run away just because she was shy. Instead, she blushed and whispered back, “I’ve liked you too for a long time!”

After making this confession, Ding Ling’s heart beat wildly. She could no longer hold back the shyness in her heart and ran away without saying goodbye.

This was the first time in her life that she had said this to a boy.

“She looks so cute when she is shy.” Li Chengqian was all smiles.

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he walked into the classroom of Grade 12 Class 5.

“Li Chengqian? Damn, everyone, come and take a look. Li Chengqian is back!” At the door, a classmate saw Li Chengqian walking over. At first, he thought that he was mistaken, but when he looked carefully again and confirmed that it was Li Chengqian, he shouted excitedly.

“Awesome Li is back? What’s he doing here? Is he going to attend class with us?” someone asked in confusion.

“How is that possible? With Li Chengqian’s wealth, how could he come back to study? If you had 100 million, would you still come back to study?”

“I’m going to talk to Li Chengqian later and get to know him. After I graduate from university, I’ll go to the Divine Dragon Software Company. Li Chengqian would give me a job.”

“In the past, I was blind and didn’t realize that Li Chengqian was so powerful. If I had known that he was so powerful, I would definitely have built a good relationship with him!” Someone was very vexed.

“The most unfortunate one is Jian Qingli. I heard that Li Chengqian used to like Jian Qingli very much. Unfortunately, Jian Qingli has always despised him and thinks that he was not worthy of her,” someone said softly.

“I heard that Li Chengqian invited Jian Qingli three times to form a team with him to participate in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition, but she turned him down. Moreover Jian Qingli even said a lot of mean things when she rejected him,” someone who knew the situation said softly.

“What a pity! If Jian Qingli didn’t reject Li Chengqian back then and chose to be with him her life would be different now.”

“Even if she didn’t choose to be with Li Chengqian, as long as she agrees to form a team with Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian will bring her to participate in the finals of the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. She will definitely enter the top 50 of the competition and will immediately obtain direct admission to Divine Dragon University. Jian Qingli has really suffered a huge loss this time!”

“I heard that Jian Qingli has been crying every day recently. Didn’t you notice? Her eyes are red and swollen every day.”

“Jian Qingli is too mercenary. She asked for it.”

“After Li Chengqian became successful overnight, the person who suffered the most was Jian Qingli!”

“Keep your voices down. Don’t let Jian Qingli hear you.”

“Jian Qingli must be very regretful, right? If she had gotten together with Li Chengqian in the past, she would immediately be able to live the life she dreamed of. What Li Chengqian could give her was something she couldn’t earn even if she worked hard for ten lifetimes!”

Although everyone spoke softly, Jian Qingli heard them loud and clear. She lowered her head and tears streamed down her face. She was extremely regretful.

Amidst everyone’s discussion, Li Chengqian walked into the classroom. Everyone smiled and greeted him. Everyone was very warm to him.
