Professor Wang's Borrowed RV

Staff Dormitory Building B, Southwest University of Industry.

Li Xiongye was drinking tea at Professor Wang's home. The matter of drafting the company charter had long since vanished like smoke.

A laptop sat in front of them, its screen showing Dafang Pharmaceutical's trend chart. Buy orders totaling hundreds of thousands of lots had pinned the price firmly at the daily limit-up.

Professor Wang sighed. "What a shame. We didn't buy in with everything. Otherwise, we could've made tens of thousands more."

Li Xiongye defended himself. "Easy for you to say. When I placed the first order, it was still falling. How would I have dared buy too much? After that, it shot straight up, and there was no time to do anything."

"How is Xiao Lin so good at this? Every pick is spot-on," Professor Wang said, puzzled.

"He said he had news. Something about FDA certification," Li Xiongye replied.

"Where did that news come from?"

"He said he found it himself. I don't think that's very likely. Maybe he's got someone behind him."

"That's what I think too. Lin Qiye has some ability himself, but there must be an expert guiding him from behind."

Professor Wang and Li Xiongye filled in the blanks on their own, giving Lin Qiye a powerful backer in their minds.

But this sort of thing couldn't be said carelessly.

Li Xiongye gave a vague chuckle. "Or maybe Xiao Lin's just lucky. I once saw someone at the brokerage office who bought bank stocks for the dividends, but over the course of a year, he won six IPO allotments and made far more from those than from the dividends. Xiao Lin's even better than him. We're just riding his good fortune to make a fortune."

Professor Wang followed along. "Luck is something no one can explain. These days, the internet is full of stock market experts bragging about themselves, but how many can actually make money? If someone like Lin Qiye got exposed, he'd definitely be praised to the skies..."

Li Xiongye took a sip of tea, his eyes full of shrewdness. "That's what I think too. While his wings haven't fully grown yet, we should build a good relationship first and make some money along the way. In the future, even if he becomes big and successful, at least there'll still be some friendship between us."

As they were speaking, the phone rang. Li Xiongye answered it. "Mm, don't worry. I'll handle it for you."

After hanging up, Li Xiongye smiled. "That was Xiao Lin. He wants to borrow an off-road vehicle from me. He's planning to take his parents on a self-driving trip over National Day."

Professor Wang thought of something. "Don't you have a Jeep Grand Cherokee? Wouldn't lending him that be perfect?"

Li Xiongye's smile turned bitter. "That one won't work. My wife gave it to her younger brother to use. Forget lending it out, she won't even let me drive it. I was going to ask a friend to borrow one."

"No need to go to all that trouble. I'll solve it." Professor Wang went on, "There's an RV factory boss who graduated from Southwest University of Industry. Last time, he said he wanted to sponsor our school with an RV, but really, he just wanted some publicity. The school felt an RV wasn't very appropriate, so they refused. But the vehicle is still at the school, and the RV factory won't come pick it up until after National Day. I've dealt with that boss before. I'll see if I can borrow it for a while."

"An RV? That's a nice favor." Li Xiongye urged him, "Call and ask if we can borrow it?"

Professor Wang took out his phone and made the call. "Xiao Liu? It's Wang Chenggang, your finance teacher from university. We met at the school last time too, yes, yes. Here's the thing. Isn't that RV of yours temporarily parked at the school? Could you lend it to me for a while? Just to drive out for a trip over National Day. Mm, thank you. Next time you come to the school, your teacher will treat you to a meal."

After hanging up, Professor Wang smiled. "Done. Call Lin Qiye. I'll take him to pick up the vehicle."

Lin Qiye and Tian Nina took a taxi back to school. Since he had asked Li Xiongye for help, he didn't think too much about it. The two of them found a cold drink shop and ordered something cool to eat.

In this era, milk tea shops had not yet become popular. Once summer arrived, cold drink shops were everywhere.

The food was nothing more than ice cream, shaved ice, fruit juice, and things like that.

Tian Nina, who loved sweets, ordered a large plate of fruit shaved ice, plus two cups of chilled watermelon juice.

The temperature in September was still very high. After walking around all morning, eating ice-cold shaved ice felt amazing.

Before they finished eating, his phone rang.

Lin Qiye answered the call, and his expression turned strange.

After hanging up, he asked, "What driver's license do you have?"

Tian Nina replied in confusion, "A C license, of course. I'm a delicate girl. How could I possibly go to driving school and wrestle a big steering wheel for a B license?"

"The problem now is that Professor Wang got me an RV. I don't know what license it needs."

"An RV? That fancy? I've only seen those on TV. Too bad I only have a C license."

"Come on. Let's go see what it looks like first."

The two of them shared the fruit shaved ice, then hurried back to school.

After another phone call, they arrived at the school logistics office.

Li Xiongye and Professor Wang were waiting in the open space outside the logistics office. Behind them was the RV.

It was several meters long, with a silver-white body, and looked pretty flashy.

Professor Wang handed over the keys. "Here are the keys. Don't ask me how to drive it. Figure it out yourself."

Li Xiongye also said in a low voice, "Return it after National Day. Just don't damage it."

"No problem." Lin Qiye took the keys and was about to say a few words of thanks, but to his surprise, the two men simply left.

And right then.

A security guard from the logistics office came over to hurry them. "Drive the vehicle away first. It's taking up space parked here, and the leaders have complaints."

They had the vehicle now, but they didn't know anything about the inside, and someone was pressing them to move it. It really was a headache.

Lin Qiye gave Tian Nina a look and said aloud, "Go buy a pack of cigarettes for this security brother."

"Oh. Okay." Tian Nina quickly ran off, probably to look for a small shop.

That made the security guard's expression improve. After a while, Tian Nina came back panting and handed the guard a pack of Yunyan worth over twenty yuan.

"Fine, but it has to be driven away today." The security guard, having taken the benefit, walked off with his nose in the air.

After seeing off the troublesome little brat, the two of them began admiring the brand-new RV.

Tian Nina circled around it.

Lin Qiye put on his Bluetooth earpiece.

"Scan the RV in front of me and gather the relevant online data."

No way. After hearing the Intelligent AI's description, Lin Qiye was tempted.

It felt like it was almost no different from an RV from the future.

He raised the key, pressed the unlock button, and the door opened.
