Chapter 147: Chapter 147: Sorry, I’m Not Interested

“But let me make it clear to you in advance, whether you can recruit him is entirely up to your own skills. Let me put it this way, Tsinghua put a lot of effort to specially admit him.”

At this point, Lao Cheng emphasized the words “a lot of effort” with a meaningful tone, but Lin Yi didn’t think much of it.

After all, anyone with ability has a bit of arrogance.

Not to mention others, but when I first came to Tsinghua, didn’t Tsinghua make a considerable effort to recruit me too?

Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to get three office buildings in Tsinghua’s incubator now.

“Haha, don’t worry about that. Thanks a lot for this list!”

After some more small talk, Lin Yi stood up to take his leave.

According to Lao Cheng, this Li Zirui, like himself, has already entered Tsinghua’s campus early and is now arranged in the same guesthouse as Lin Yi.

This made Lin Yi even more eager to meet this genius who could hack into the Beautiful Country and get away scot-free.

If I have such a talent on hand, my ‘research department’ could undoubtedly be established faster.”

Lin Yi rode his bike quickly, but the direction was not towards the guesthouse; instead, it was outside the campus.

Once outside the campus, he waved for a taxi and headed to his warehouse.

Upon arrival, Lin Yi saw from a distance the waiting Range Rover salespeople and a line of tow trucks behind them.

That’s right, because he lost his car after showing off, Lin Yi now had to buy a few more cars.

No choice; he didn’t even know where his car was now.

The main point was, the other party was a very pretty female cop, which made Lin Yi not as upset.

Though he had no inappropriate thoughts towards her.

Of course, this doesn’t mean Lin Yi doesn’t want his car back. But when Lao Cheng gave him that list, he realized that when his group is established later, they would definitely need many vehicles.

That’s why Lin Yi decided to buy a few more.

Again, this purchase was for the lowest model Range Rover. After all, with his system, there was no need to waste so much money.

Even though the opportunity to rebuild is rare, he accumulated enough anyway.

After the staff left, Lin Yi once again dismantled and rebuilt a one-of-a-kind car.

This time, Lin Yi didn’t rebuild a Range Rover but a Lamborghini Urus.

Honestly, this car wasn’t entirely for himself. He intended to get his Range Rover back, so this car was meant for Xiao Zihan.

It’s just that she doesn’t have a driver’s license yet, so he’d drive it for her for now.

With a car ready, he couldn’t skimp on the license plate either. He already got a Jing A00001 plate, so this one couldn’t be too shabby.

He simply asked the system for a cool license plate, and the next moment, his hand had a ‘Jing A66666’.

Though this plate might not be as cool as 00001, it was undeniably valuable.

Of course, compared to 00002, Lin Yi thought these five sixes were even cooler.

Very satisfied, he hung the plate on the car, turned around, and drove out of the warehouse with a press of the accelerator.

After returning to campus, Lin Yi didn’t linger. He registered the vehicle information and headed towards the guesthouse.

Knock, knock, knock.

In front of a door, Lin Yi reached out and knocked, but after a while, no one came to open it.

This made Lin Yi wonder if Li Zirui had gone out.

Just as he was about to leave, the door creaked open.

A young man about 1.8 meters tall, with a messy head of hair and a scruffy face, appeared in front of Lin Yi.

Seeing this, Lin Yi was taken aback, wondering what kind of look this was. Judging by the oiliness of his hair, it seemed like he hadn’t washed it for at least a week.

While Lin Yi curiously sized up the young man, the young man also looked at Lin Yi with some confusion and spoke rather woodenly:

“Who are you looking for?”

“Hello, I’m looking for Li Zirui.”

Although the other person wasn’t very friendly, Lin Yi still smiled as he spoke.

At the same time, he was quite sure that this somewhat scruffy young man was indeed Li Zirui.

After all, it fit the stereotype of a tech nerd.

Sure enough, after Lin Yi finished, the young man nodded and said flatly:

“I’m Li Zirui. What’s up?”

“Haha, may I come in and sit?”

Lin Yi shrugged and then asked.

Li Zirui thought for a moment then nodded, stepping aside to let Lin Yi enter.

“It’s a bit messy here, find a place to sit.”

As he walked in, Lin Yi was amazed by the cluttered scene inside.

It wasn’t filled with trash, but rather with various pieces of equipment.

As for trash, there really wasn’t any.

Seven or eight computers, along with many unknown devices and a mess of wires, filled the small living room.

But one thing was clear; these things looked very old. The computer cases were peeling, and some equipment looked like they were handmade.

This gave Lin Yi a bit of confidence, and he became more certain that this guy was indeed the mastermind of the recent event.

“Did you need something from me? Just say it, I still have work to do.”

Seeing Lin Yi casually find a place to sit, Li Zirui asked bluntly.

Realizing this guy was straightforward, Lin Yi didn’t beat around the bush either:

“Let me introduce myself, I’m Lin Yi, like you, a freshman this year. I want to start a company and need a software developer. I heard about you through some channels, so–”

“Sorry, I’m not interested.”

Upon hearing an invitation to be a developer, Li Zirui interrupted before Lin Yi could finish.

The reason was, of course, his dream.

Li Zirui came from a not so well-off rural family, and to achieve his dream, he spent all his family’s savings to cobble together the equipment in the room.

He finally had a bit of progress…
