I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

"How did you get here so quickly?" The two wandered hand in hand along the streets of Gusu City.

"Of course, I had to. A man has to be quick when it's time to be quick, or what's my private jet for?" Zhang Menglong said, exaggerating.

"Pah! You rascal, not this again!" Lu Yiyao glared at him, "How did you know what happened here? Did Qian Qian and the others tell you?"

"It's telepathy," Zhang Menglong quipped, "The moment you're in danger, I'll know right away. Otherwise, how do you think I got here so fast? Why didn't you tell me when such a thing happened?"

"Isn't it because I didn't want to worry you?"

"So if you don't tell me, I won't worry?" Zhang Menglong said, "What if you got hurt? Where would I go to find another Lu Yiyao?"

"There won't be another Lu Yiyao, but there are plenty of internet celebrities, stars, and even European royalty and nobility, right?" Lu Yiyao said with a smile.

"How could any of them compare to you?" Zhang Menglong's voice suddenly turned colder, "As for that guy named Bai Shengwu, I won't let him off so easily."

"Don't do anything rash!" Lu Yiyao knew Zhang Menglong's personality well. Just because Ding Yuxi had assaulted a girl he previously didn't even recognize, Zhang Menglong had cornered Wang Yi Music to a dead end, let alone if she herself was hurt.

She was somewhat scared that Zhang Menglong might do something impulsive and inappropriate in the heat of the moment.

"Don't worry, I'm a civilized person. A civilized person has civilized ways to solve problems. I'm not going to do anything violent," Zhang Menglong said.

"So what are you planning to do?" Lu Yiyao had heard some unsavory things about Bai Shengwu and knew of girls who had suffered and were too afraid to speak out. If these beasts could be exposed, it would truly be a cathartic event for many.

"Heh heh!" Zhang Menglong started to laugh, "Naturally, I have my ways."

"Come on, tell me what you're going to do!" Seeing Zhang Menglong's expression, Lu Yiyao knew someone was going to be out of luck—and it wouldn't be pretty. Not physically, of course, but mentally.

"Give me a kiss and I'll tell you!"

"Get lost!"

"Damn it, you dare to hit me?"

"Why wouldn't I dare? Today we need to establish the hierarchy in this household first!"

"Woman, you're playing with fire!"

...

Once again, Lu Yiyao was driven out of her dorm room by her roommates and had to spend the night at Zhang Menglong's place. Of course, they didn't move too fast into doing inappropriate things, since their relationship had only just begun. Despite this, the way they were together still made Zhang Menglong utterly delighted.

"Isn't this breakfast a bit too lavish?" Lu Yiyao eyed the meal that could rival a state banquet, "Do you eat like this every morning?"

"No, no, no. We have important things to do today, so of course we need to have a full meal for energy," he replied as he ate.

"What's that?"

"Meeting with your principal!" Zhang Menglong said, his speech muffled by food, "That Bai Shengwu has to be dealt with somehow."

"The principal? You've made an appointment with our principal?"

"Not yet!" Zhang Menglong said.

"Then you probably won't be able to meet him," Lu Yiyao said, "Our principal is very busy, and it's not just anyone with money who can see him. Recently, I heard there's a new school district planning project and he's even meeting with the leaders from Gusu."

"You think things can't be done with money because the offer isn't high enough," Zhang Menglong said, "Hong Yi, come here a moment."

"Mr. Zhang, what can I do for you?"

"Call the president of Gusu University for me. Tell him I want to make a donation to their school." Zhang Menglong spoke as if he was talking about ten dollars, "Tell him I want to discuss the specific use of this money in detail with him and ask if he has time today."

"Mr. Zhang, how much do you plan to donate?"

"Let's start with 10 billion for now!"

"Okay, I'll contact him right now."

"Is... is this the solution you mentioned?" Lu Yiyao's captivating eyes widened.

For the whole of Gusu University, after deducting the part for scientific research, the national funding they received yearly was far from ten billion yuan. It wasn't only about meeting some related officials; even if it was meeting Yama himself, the university president would probably crawl out of his coffin to meet him.

"Yeah, what other methods could there be?" Zhang Menglong said with a smile.

Soon after, Hong Yi finished making a phone call, "Mr. Zhang, President Xu of Gusu University said he's free all day today. As soon as you get there, he'll be waiting for you in his office."

"OK, I got it. Arrange a car, we'll go over at 9."

"Understood."

"See, isn't everything settled now?" Zhang Menglong threw a playful look at Lu Yiyao.

...

In the president's office at Gusu University, Xu Wenshan, dressed in a suit and beaming, paced back and forth, seemingly eagerly anticipating someone's arrival.

"President, weren't you supposed to meet with the city bureau leaders today? Why suddenly ask me to reschedule? You know they are very hard to arrange to meet with," said President Xu's assistant, who had just cancelled the day's appointments for him.

"Today we have a very important visitor coming."

"More important than the city bureau leaders?"

"It's an investor," President Xu stated, "Our plan for the new campus has been settled, but we've always had issues finalising the funding. I just received a call from an entrepreneur who said he's willing to sponsor a sum for Gusu University."

"President, this isn't something that can be handled with just a few million."

"This entrepreneur wants to donate ten billion!"

"What? Ten billion?" On hearing the number, the assistant couldn't stay calm either, "President, this isn't a joking matter. What entrepreneur could afford to donate ten billion to a school? Is it one of our alumni?"

"No," the president shook his head, "this person is not from our school."

"Then why would he want to donate to our school?"

"I don't know either, but you must have heard of his name."

"Who?"

"Zhang Menglong!"

"The young man who's been frequently appearing in the news lately?"

"That's him."

"President, I might know why," the secretary said with a chuckle.

"Oh? Tell me?"

"President, he's quite the celebrity in our school. Back in the day, he offered 100,000 yuan as a finder's fee to anyone at our school who could help him find a female student. That day, over a thousand people from the school, including some teachers, got involved."

"Were you a part of it as well?" the president asked, amused.

"Heh heh, necessity compelled me," the secretary laughed sheepishly, "and moreover, just last night, there were thousands of drones at our school. Apparently, someone was confessing to the girls in the dormitory, and students even captured photos of that young man named Zhang Menglong leaving the campus with one of our female students."

"That's quite interesting," President Xu was entertained, "so his donation to our school is likely related to this girl?"

"It should be. So do you think we should discuss this matter further?"

"Discuss my ass!" President Xu suddenly became anxious, "The young man is just in love, why meddle so much? We're in an open-minded era, an era of liberated thought. A university student has also reached this age; hurry and get ready to receive the guest. We must secure this donation today!"

"Who was it that said students should prioritize their studies?" the secretary muttered under his breath, "As soon as you see this money, you forget what you've said, don't you?"

"What are you muttering about!"

"Nothing, nothing..."
