Chapter 116: Buying Forty Million in Maotai Stocks! (Part 2/3)

“You do seem to have a point. I’ll think about it when I get back and buy a couple of thousand shares,” Lu Tao decided.

“Professor Lu, if you buy shares of Maotai, you must hold onto them firmly in the long term. Do not sell just because the stock price drops or rises slightly! That way, it’s meaningless and won’t even cover the transaction fees,” Tang Feng reminded him.

“I know!” Lu Tao nodded and said, “I will use my spare cash to buy.”

Soon, they returned to the school.

Tang Feng checked the time; it was already four in the afternoon.

He returned to his dormitory and took out the training plan he had prepared.

Then he called Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng and others were training on the basketball court.

Tang Feng hung up the phone and went directly to the basketball court.

He handed a stack of training plan proposals to Gao Cheng.

“From today, each of you must train according to this plan, and make sure not to slack off. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can call me,” Tang Feng said.

“Captain, our math department is going against the physics department tomorrow afternoon! Don’t forget about it!” Gao Cheng reminded him.

“Don’t worry! I won’t forget! Continue with your training, I’ll leave first!” Tang Feng bid them farewell and left.

Before long, Tang Feng appeared at the entrance of Su Xiaoli’s apartment.

After a while, Su Xiaoli came out of the apartment.

“When did you guys finish?” Su Xiaoli asked with a smile.

“I didn’t attend the luncheon,” Tang Feng answered.

“Ah? Why?” Su Xiaoli was somewhat surprised.

“I’ll tell you about it over dinner. What do you want to eat tonight?” Tang Feng asked.

“Anything is fine,” Su Xiaoli answered.

“How about eating me?” Tang Feng asked with a mischievous smile.

“Can you be serious for once?” Su Xiaoli rolled her eyes at him.

Tang Feng chuckled and said, “How about we go home to eat?”

“That works!” Su Xiaoli agreed.

“No, wait!” Tang Feng suddenly remembered something.

“What’s wrong?” Su Xiaoli became anxious upon seeing his reaction.

“This morning when I left, I said I’d treat my dorm mates to dinner tonight,” Tang Feng answered.

“I thought it was something serious! You scared me with that look just now,” Su Xiaoli responded.

“But I wanted to have dinner alone with you tonight,” Tang Feng said.

“You’ve already promised others, wouldn’t it be bad to break your word? I think for a man, keeping promises is most important,” Su Xiaoli said.

“You’re absolutely right, wife! I’ll call them right now, and we’ll all have dinner together tonight!” Tang Feng said as he took out his phone.

“What are you shouting about here!” Su Xiaoli stretched out her hand and gently pinched his arm.

“Why don’t you ask if Yu Li and the others are free tonight? Since we’re inviting, it won’t hurt to include them too. Besides, Su Ming and the others have been thinking about them; it’s a good opportunity for them to get to know each other better,” Tang Feng discussed with her.

“You’re really a good roommate. I’ll ask,” Su Xiaoli also took out her phone.

After the call ended, Su Xiaoli told Tang Feng, “Good thing I made that call in time, or they would have already planned to go to the cafeteria for dinner.”

“Su Ming and the others have been waiting for my call. In about five minutes, they’ll be here,” Tang Feng said.

“What do you plan to treat them to?” Su Xiaoli asked.

“How about we find a restaurant nearby? If we go to the Royal Holiday Hotel, I feel like we might be pressed for time,” Tang Feng suggested.

“That’s fine! What’s not fine about that!” Su Xiaoli nodded.

Su Ming and the others jogged up to them.

“Boss, I thought you were going to stand us up,” Su Ming said, out of breath.

“I was just discussing with Xiaoli about finding a nearby restaurant to have a meal together. Do you guys have any objections?” Tang Feng asked.

“No!” Su Ming and the others quickly shook their heads.

“Boss, I heard that this morning in the office building’s meeting room, you directly refused the cooperation proposal from the International Mathematical Association? Is that news true?” Zhuzihang couldn’t wait to ask.

“How did you get such quick news? Where did you hear about it?” Tang Feng was quite surprised.

“Of course, on the BBS forum. The forum is buzzing with discussions right now. Boss, hurry up and tell us, is that news true?” Zhu Zihang’s eyes were filled with hopeful anticipation.

“Of course, it’s true. It was clear that they were trying to trap me, so I definitely wouldn’t agree,” Tang Feng answered.

“Boss, you’re really tough! Most people faced with such a big setup would probably have lost their ability to think independently,” Zhang Hao couldn’t help but give a thumbs up.

“Enough with the flattery! I’m planning to establish a mathematical research group, so remember to sign up!” Tang Feng said.

“Are we qualified?” Suming was worried.

“Whether you’re qualified or not, sign up first. If you get selected, it will only be beneficial to you,” Tang Feng answered.

“Boss, can we get in through the back door?” Zhuzihang negotiated.

“Back doors are definitely not an option! The mathematical research group I’m forming needs the best young mathematicians in China. The members of this group will become the backbone of China’s mathematical community in the near future, and we can’t afford to be careless,” Tang Feng bluntly refused.

“Boss, we’re from the same dorm, you have to help us out,” Suming pleaded.

“Didn’t I give you a list of books before? Have you finished them?” Tang Feng asked.

“No,” Su Ming and the others sheepishly lowered their heads.

“There’s still some time before the selection test. Hurry up and read the books, and ask if you don’t understand anything. I believe that as long as you understand the content of those books, there’s still a chance to get selected,” Tang Feng said.

“But boss, if all three of us get selected, won’t people suspect we got in through the back door?” Zhang Hao was worried.

“What do you think? I will have Academician Gao and Academician Qiu and others set the questions and assess you. Only if you pass the assessment will you be selected,” Tang Feng decided.

“In that case, we need to hurry up and study,” Su Ming was already eager to start.

“This is a very rare opportunity for you! If you get selected, I believe your families will be proud of you. And you might even appear on the national TV news segment, becoming the subject of interviews,” Tang Feng said seriously and earnestly.

“Don’t worry, boss! We will give it our all!” Su Ming and the others became serious.
