The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 573: Chapter 238: The Past Modified by Wealth_4

The moment this question was raised, most people sat up straight, looking extremely interested, including some teachers like Ni Hong standing backstage.

There were many discussions about this question on the school’s forum, but just like with other clueless online users, no one could come to a conclusion.

And at this moment, it might have been Zhou Wang’s first time answering this question in public.

Not only were they curious, but even Jiang Qingkui had her curiosity piqued. After all, although she was Zhou Wang’s ”close friend,” she didn’t actually know anything about Zhou Wang’s journey to success.

She only knew that Zhou Wang had once won a Lottery jackpot...

Zhou Wang, who was well-prepared, thought for a moment, then smiled and said,

”If we’re talking about the initial capital accumulation, let’s say I got incredibly lucky. Hmm, let’s put it this way, back in ’21, a friend tricked me into downloading this software called ibox, and then I spent about 20 bucks or so and bought over three hundred ’Chaos’...”

When Zhou Wang finished saying this, most people were baffled, but a few who knew about the virtual collection software ibox were dumbfounded.

”Holy crap!”

”Did Senior Zhou say he bought that many ’Chaos’?”

”What the hell, no wonder...”

As some people were exclaiming, others nearby naturally asked questions eagerly, but fortunately, Zhou Wang proactively clarified for them,

”For those who don’t know, you can think of this ’Chaos’ as a type of electronic collection. When I bought it, it was 20 bucks, and when I sold it, it happened to be at its peak price, with one ’Chaos’ being approximately close to 30,000...”

”Holy crap!”

”WTF...”

Zhou Wang’s simple and clear explanation instantly set the whole lecture hall abuzz.

Even if they didn’t quite understand what electronic collections were, the simplest concept of ”buy low, sell high” was easy to grasp.

Buying at 20 bucks, selling close to 30,000, and multiplying that by over three hundred items, it equated to Zhou Wang making tens of millions with just one buy and sell cycle!

”Of course, that was just my first pot of gold. Later, I made more profits from other investments. Since time is limited today, I won’t elaborate. Those interested can wait until I’m down and out, and write a book to make some money from you guys...”

”Hahaha!”

Amid the laughter, this topic was glossed over.

At this moment, another boy sitting in the back row raised his hand.

”That young man, please!”

Because his hand was raised so high, Zhou Wang called on him, and the student council officer ran over and handed him the microphone.

The boy who stood up didn’t seem as excited as others. He just looked at Zhou Wang, adjusted his glasses, and asked, ”Senior Zhou Wang, I heard that when you were in college, you were disciplined for fighting, and as a result, you didn’t even get your degree certificate. Is that true?”

The lecture hall fell silent, and faces mixed with surprise and suspicion turned toward Zhou Wang.

The school leaders on the podium also slightly changed their expressions. Principal Bai, surprised, shot a disapproving look at Director Wang of the academic affairs office, his gaze carrying an unspoken meaning—

How could I not know about this?

Under Principal Bai’s stern gaze, cold sweat instantly trickled down Director Wang’s back... I didn’t know either!

Only then did he realize, no wonder Zhou Wang said ”long time no see.”

But the academic affairs office handles so many student incidents every year, and most disciplinary records are removed from the files when students graduate. Director Wang couldn’t possibly handle these matters personally, so how could he remember Zhou Wang?

Meanwhile, standing in the back row, Lu Chen’s eyes showed satisfaction.

That senior from the economics faculty was someone he knew, and spending a thousand bucks to make Zhou Wang embarrass himself publicly was totally worth it...

But to Lu Chen’s confusion, Zhou Wang actually showed no signs of panic; he merely smiled slightly, not even responding to that student, and just looked towards the podium, with his gaze seeking guidance.

While Director Wang of the academic affairs office was still at a loss, Vice Principal Bai Lisheng had already taken the microphone after glaring at him and quickly wore a smiling face:

”Let me explain this student’s concerns.”

As the Executive Vice Principal spoke, all the teachers and students naturally turned their attention to him.

”During his time at school, Zhou Wang was indeed involved in a student brawl incident, but a later investigation by the school found that Zhou Wang was just a sole victim in the event. So the so-called disciplinary action is completely unfounded. Not only did Zhou Wang successfully obtain his degree certificate in law, but he also got an offer for postgraduate research, but he chose to graduate directly due to personal reasons...”

After Bai Lisheng finished explaining, he fixed his gaze on the senior student who asked the question:

”Do you have any more questions, student?”

”No, no more...”

The boy, under Bai Lisheng’s gaze, realized he might have done something foolish. Sweating profusely, he quickly waved it off.

With Bai Lisheng’s official clarification, none of the students thought much about this incident, and the lively atmosphere returned to the lecture hall.

”Next one.”

Seeing Zhou Wang calmly pick up the microphone again and continue the Q&A, Lu Chen’s face twisted, his heart roaring continuously:

What the hell, Zhou Wang really did get disciplined...

You guys are twisting facts and speaking nonsense!

Beside him, there came another mocking laugh from Wang Qiaobin, carrying a bit of disdain.

”Dissolve worries.”
