Super Soldier in the City

Chapter 2782 - 2844: Insisting on Living at School

Of course, it’s just a trace. Where is studying as enjoyable as eating good food and spending time with the wife and kids at home... So comfortable and pleasant, Li Yifei took a deep breath as he prepared to enter the campus. Actually, he had been looking for the welcoming reception just now but couldn’t find it!Just as he was about to walk inside, he saw that bald guy making out with a lady in public. The bald guy’s hand was grabbing the lady’s breast. The plump part got squeezed, deformed, and then quickly bounced back. The lady turned and left, while the bald guy walked inside.

The admission to Huaxia Business School is free; you can report within three days. Meanwhile, you can skip classes, but of course, you need to provide a leave note, which is generally not hard to get.

Zhang Bai parked his car, still thinking about the beautiful woman he saw earlier. He felt that she was genuine beauty; he just wondered what she looked like under those glasses. If she was even more beautiful... he simply had to get to know her.

With the key in hand, Zhang Bai crossed the street and saw someone standing at the school gate, looking a bit dazedly at the gate. Zhang Bai pursed his lips because he had seen Li Yifei get off the bus earlier with such a large luggage. From his perspective... never mind, Zhang Bai had always had high standards and looked down on people like him, so he shook his head and walked past Li Yifei.

Of course, it was also because he was in a hurry to get inside the school; that beautiful woman was still swirling in his mind. So, as they passed by each other, he didn’t spare Li Yifei a glance. The latter, however, curiously took a look and wanted to remind Zhang Bai that there were a few red dots on his pants. From a distance, they looked like blood. This was probably because the paint on the surrounding railings in the parking lot had just been painted and hadn’t dried yet. He wondered how this guy managed to rub against it.

Li Yifei dragged his luggage inside the campus, which was a whole new world. Since Huaxia Business School isn’t a large-scale university, there was no need for large teaching buildings. In fact, all regular and irregular students combined were just a little over a hundred, at most under two hundred. Even with two sessions a year, there weren’t many people. However, there was a large number of service personnel at the school, covering everything from arrival to clothing to accommodation. After all, students like Li Yifei, who are successful people, come to gild themselves and network. You couldn’t expect people like them to do their own laundry, ironing, or cooking, could you? Of course, these things were available in the dormitories as well, which were more like small villas. There were more than ten in total, that allowed for mixed dormitories or separate accommodations. These villas were mainly prepared for students like Li Yifei. Ordinary MBA students stayed on the other side, but the accommodations weren’t bad either, providing star-level treatment with individual rooms and en-suite bathrooms.

Li Yifei came all the way, looking around for quite a while. The land value of this campus alone was substantial in a prime city like Haicheng. This business school was established under the leadership of a former richest man, with approval from multiple government departments and participation from major figures over the years. As expected, the level was different.

There was someone to receive him inside, and Li Yifei was polite. He wasn’t picky about where he stayed; he could handle both good and bad places. But Su Mengxin had already used some connections to reserve a villa for him. These villas typically housed two or three students, but one had to stay downstairs if there were three. If all were bosses, who would stay downstairs? It wouldn’t feel right. Moreover, everyone was busy with work and likely had plenty of official business to deal with daily, so there were usually not two people staying in one villa.

Li Yifei was assigned a villa, villa number 12, which was just by the lakeside of the academy, offering a very good view. Although the villa wasn’t big, it was enough to live in.

Although there were only a dozen villas, they were generally never fully occupied. The ones coming to live there were billionaires. Even staying at the best hotels near the Huangpu River and the best rooms wouldn’t cost much monthly, would it? So why bother coming to the school where you would constantly see the same faces every day? Who knew how inconvenient that would be? Fang Zhongyong, for example, wouldn’t stay at the school. Even though he was an outsider, he hadn’t even arrived yet, and he had already reserved a suite at the best hotel with that model girlfriend, enjoying life to the fullest.

So generally speaking, those choosing to live on campus were in the minority. However, the school didn’t expect that this batch of students would be different, with more than a dozen choosing to live on campus, which hadn’t happened in years. What were these wealthy people thinking?

"Mr. Li, hello. Here’s your key. It’s for villa number 12. If you follow this path straight ahead, it’s the one at the very end. If it’s inconvenient, we can have someone lead you there." The receptionist politely said.

Li Yifei waved his hand and said, "No problem, I’ll go by myself. Thank you."

"Thank you for understanding. I wish you ample harvest at the academy." The hostess said.

Li Yifei nodded with a smile and was just about to leave when he heard a commotion next to him. "Damn, such a big school, and yet so few rooms? I rarely get to reminisce about my school days, and now you tell me there’s no room. What does this mean?"

Li Yifei turned around to see a short, fat guy yelling. This guy had a distinct feature - his skin was as dark as if it was oozing oil, and his lips were turned outward. His shouting immediately caught the attention of those around, considering this was a business school where everyone had stature and reputation. Shouting in such a place was generally not appropriate. Most people would want to leave a good impression and pretend they were polite, cultured, erudite, and capable. Basically, they wanted to put on a good show. This black fat guy, however, shouted with his lips turned, which wasn’t very appropriate.

The hostess who just received Li Yifei approached him, slightly bowing, and said, "Sir, hello. I’m the head of new student reception. May I ask what you need?"

"What do I need? I just want to live at the school, but you’re saying there’s no place. Such a big school doesn’t even have a place for student accommodation. I don’t even know what to say." The black fat guy spoke with a bit of an accent. Li Yifei listened carefully for a while and realized this guy was likely from the Shu Region.

"Sir, there are many dorms in the school, enough for every student to move in. However... there is indeed no space in the villa area you requested. There are a total of 15 villas, and this session’s students have filled them completely. So now only the large dormitory on the west side is available. Those are also independent rooms, each with over 50 square meters, and come fully equipped with facilities, not affecting accommodation."

"Is that so? Are the dormitories you mentioned that good?" The black fat guy said, raising his chin.

Li Yifei also stopped, curious to see how the school, or rather, that female receptionist, would handle such situations. After all, those who came were all big bosses, people with reputations. Perhaps not for comfort but just for face, which was worth fighting for. So he was a bit curious.

As for the black fat guy, no matter how hard Li Yifei looked, he couldn’t figure out his age. Judging by his voice, this guy might not have passed the voice-change phase since his voice was sharp. If looking at his face... he seemed like a 50-year-old man, making it difficult to distinguish.

The female receptionist maintained a professional smile and said, "Sir, the villas are reserved in advance. We communicated with new students months ago. The school provides accommodation for those in need!"

"So you’re saying the people in these dozen or so villas all arranged with you in advance?" The black fat guy snorted, visibly displeased.

"Half are prearranged, and the other half decided to live in the school after arriving today," the hostess replied.

"Then why can’t I do that? Are you discriminating against me?" The black fat guy retorted.

The female receptionist shook her head and said, "They were already assigned just minutes ago. Sir, if you’re so nostalgic for campus life, I suggest you choose large dormitories since their conditions are more akin to campus life while remaining quiet thanks to good soundproofing and abundant facilities. If willing, there are social connections to be made with classmates at night."

"Darn, what are you talking about? How can large dormitories be the same as villas? Besides, I lived in villas during school, so I’m nostalgic now. American universities are free; they host parties, and those beauties come along... Hey, talking to you is useless anyway. I want to stay in a villa. If I don’t get one, I’ll go find the principal."

Of course, there was a distinction between an honorary principal and one managing school affairs, so the black fat guy directly asked to find someone.

"Sir, may I ask why you must stay in the school?" the female receptionist asked patiently.

"Why? Didn’t I just tell you? No other reason. I just want to stay. We’re all here to study; if others can stay, so can I. Is that reason enough? I believe it is!"

Li Yifei raised his eyebrows slightly, and the female receptionist said, "There’s no use consulting the principal about dormitory assignments; it’s first-come, first-served. If you insist on causing a scene, it might lead to unpleasantness!"

Take it as a fair warning. Li Yifei nodded; this female receptionist was bold, yet the school should be like this. Regardless of whether the person was the former wealthiest or came from a wealthy family, everyone coming here should be treated the same. There’s no need to pull any stunts; everyone is quite impressive, a dragon among men when they walk out. So, there’s no need for pretentiousness."
