In name only: The land of Handong, I shall rule its fate.

A city in central China.

"This fresh air, this wonderful freedom, can you see it, Xiao Ye? This is the beautiful land we are about to conquer."

Wu Chunlin drove around the streets himself, but his smugness lasted only three seconds before a bus sped past him at breakneck speed, and a taxi was driving alongside him in the other lane. He couldn't help but curse, "Damn it! Are they in such a hurry to be reborn that they're driving so fast?"

How wild!

Xiao Ye looked out the car window. Their Handong was also a famous racing area, but it was far inferior to this.

"Boss, aren't we going to get revenge?"

Secretary Xiao Ye withdrew her gaze, turned her head to look at Wu Chunlin, who was still red-hot, and asked.

They were blocked for three days and three nights. Although it wasn't as bad as the rumors suggested, it was still quite a ordeal. At least Secretary Ye had never experienced such humiliation.

"fool!"

Wu Chunlin reached out and gave the other person a flick on the forehead. "Who in Handong doesn't know that I, Wu Chunlin, am vengeful? Not everyone can guess my destination when I come out. What if we're lying in wait for us? That old guy flew over to block us last time. If he does it again, we really won't be able to get out."

"Moreover, the specializations of civil engineering majors in Northeast China do not match the actual needs of Handong, and even the largest and strongest university, Longyan University of Technology, is difficult to get into."

"Simply taking revenge on that old bastard is not worth it. It doesn't bring much benefit, and it seems petty. Besides, Tian Guofu, that troll, keeps biting me every now and then. Most importantly, our superiors will become less tolerant of us, which is our real lifeline."

"Hmph!"

"Handong is at a critical juncture in its development. With Secretary Sha and Secretary-General Tong sharpening their knives ahead and Secretary Gao, that old fox, having been patient for so long, he's bound to make a new move."

"At this very moment!"

"If we put aside personal grievances and devote all our energy to the great cause of recruiting soldiers, uh, recruiting talents for Handong, then our superiors will see our grand vision and grant us greater and freer authority to act."

"Do you understand?"

Wu Chunlin spoke eloquently, his profile and jawline glowing with a golden halo as the rising sun made him appear incredibly sacred, leaving Secretary Ye completely stunned.

"The boss's foresight is amazing!"

Xiao Ye gave a thumbs-up, genuinely praising, "So, boss, what's our goal this time?"

"all!"

Wu Chunlin made a fist in the air with his right hand, as if he were holding all the talents in the central region in his palm. "As long as they have real talent and are down-to-earth and capable, they are all our targets. Whether they are liberal arts or science and engineering, we want all the people who are willing to come to Handong."

"Oh, don't forget to check their character as well."

"Handong may seem to be thriving now, but it's actually overheated and can't withstand the damage from bad influences. We can't filter out all the bad stuff, nor can we guarantee that they won't deteriorate, but in the initial stage, we must do our best to control them."

"You want this much?"

Secretary Xiao Ye asked incredulously, confirming again.

"Hey! Opportunities are limited. Using the same trick too often will eventually backfire. Let's go all out. We can also temporarily step back and have some fun!"

Wu Chunlin's face showed no fear, only anticipation for the future. He had already grown enamored with this life-or-death experience, feeling that whether he made progress or not didn't really matter. "By the way, has the money I asked you to transfer been processed?"

"Absolutely perfect!"

Secretary Xiao Ye confirmed, "And we've already found the recipients of our funding."

That's fine!

Wu Chunlin nodded in satisfaction. "By the way! Give Xiao Linzi a call. Tell him who needs the 20 million in funding and to transfer another sum immediately."

"Tell him."

"I want to give him a big gift."

Go! Go! Go!

Without fear or hesitation, Secretary Ye picked up the phone and dialed Lin Zhiyuan's private number directly.

Just two words: Send money!

Don't ask why they are so bold; soldiers on the front lines can afford to be arrogant because of their achievements.

This privilege expires and becomes invalid.

No way! Are people this arrogant when it comes to asking for money these days?

Lin Zhiyuan stared at the phone screen where the call had been disconnected, feeling as if the world was going crazy. And the caller wasn't his senior, but Secretary Ye!

"Xiao Gao, do you think I've been giving them too much face lately? They're all getting more and more outrageous!"

Lin Zhiyuan asked Xiao Gao.

"Boss, Minister Wu might really be short of money."

Xiao Gao put down the thermos cup with the freshly filled tea, pulled out a tablet from somewhere, tapped a few times, opened a variety show, and placed it in front of Lin Zhiyuan.

Go ahead and be arrogant, college students!

Lin Zhiyuan glanced at the variety show title and thought, "Oh ho, it's a brand new program."

Filming only began a month before the Lunar New Year, but eight episodes were uploaded all at once, breaking the current weekly broadcast format for variety shows.

Because their target audiences are completely different, while ordinary variety shows feature celebrities, this show, "Be Arrogant, College Students," focuses on senior students and those about to graduate from key universities in the Midwest. The main characters are not fixed; anyone who is outstanding can be the main character.

The games test students' professional skills, physical strength, character, special talents, thinking ability, and teamwork. Some of the puzzle games cover a wide range of topics, including astronomy and geography, which are beyond the ability of an ordinary college student to answer and require teamwork.

Lin Zhiyuan watched with great interest. To be honest, apart from the large number of people and the lack of a main perspective making the large scenes a bit chaotic, it was quite interesting.

Sweat, frustration, success, and excitement mingle with the final melody of youth, intertwining to compose a new chapter.

unconsciously.

I watched the entire 90-minute episode at 3x speed.

Xiao Gao's eyesight is a little blurry.

I wonder what the boss was looking at!

"Don't tell me this program was produced by Minister Chunlin and his team?"

Lin Zhiyuan confirmed.

"The production company is Handong Provincial Television Station."

Xiao Gao nodded and then shook his head, "But I'm not quite sure who came up with the idea."

"Xiao Ye only sent over the video link, saying that all the money had been poured into this program."

"They also said that the preliminary selection is now complete, but there are still four episodes to record: the round of 16, the semi-finals, the finals, and a special tour. They're out of money."

Lin Zhiyuan's lips twitched.

Does this thing need the organization department to foot the bill? If the senior alumnus just makes a call, the TV station and investors will throw money at it without him. I doubt that not a single penny of that 20 million would have been invested.

Lin Zhiyuan's gaze lingered on the screen, on the faces of the students, sweating but beaming with smiles. He chuckled and shook his head.

That's it!

As long as we can bring the person back to Handong, we'll spend the money!

"Have Minister Wu approve 2000 million in funding, but tell him to expedite the process."

Lin Zhiyuan gave his instructions.

There's no other way but to hurry!

The first two batches of disgraced sects have already been put into action.

What is learned in school is completely different from what is required in society. Some people find it extremely difficult to adapt and begin to make all sorts of mistakes.

Later still!

It's about to get out of control.
