Chapter Ninety-Eight: Alma Mater

The summer is scorching, the cicadas are chirping, and the birds are chirping. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The campus of Northern University is already lush with trees, blooming flowers, and purple and red.

Two years after graduation, Lin Feng returned to his alma mater for the first time.

This time, he made a special trip to visit his mentor at the university, Professor Wu Fayuan, dean of the Department of Law of Northern University.

Wu Fayuan, Professor, Ph.D. Supervisor of Economic Law, Research Interests: Company Law, Enterprise Law. Adjunct professor of Peking University Law School, member of the doctoral supervisor group of economic law, vice president of the China Banking Law Research Association, vice president of the Beijing Economic Law Society, member of the first law teaching steering committee of the law discipline of the Ministry of Education, and has enjoyed the special government allowance of the State Council since 1995.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Wu Fayuan is Lin Feng's mentor.

In his previous life, when Lin Feng was in school, he had a conflict with someone from the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering with a school leadership background because of a quarrel, he was born in the northwest, and pursued Lin Feng, who was not blind if he could do it, and knocked the arrogant guy to the ground after dividing five by two, but he didn't expect to get into a big disaster and was almost expelled.

It was that time that Ye Wei said "Even if you drop out of school, I will accompany you".

Later, thanks to Wu Fayuan, he came forward to protect Lin Feng, a proud disciple, claiming that both parties were responsible, and the matter was not serious enough to expel him, if he wanted to expel Lin Feng, that person must also be expelled together.

In the end, the two people who fought got a demerit and gave up.

Afterwards, Lin Feng specially asked Professor Wu to thank him, and Wu Fayuan's words left a deep impression on him and he will never forget: "You are my student for a day, I will be responsible for you, and I can't let a little mistake ruin your life." Don't thank me, you are studying law, I hope you will remember this lesson, and in the future, when you go out into society, you will not be so impulsive and misguided, and you will know how to think twice before you encounter problems. That's if I did something worthwhile. ”

He didn't say anything big, anything like studying hard, just a simple sentence, learn a lesson, and think twice before doing anything.

Let Lin Feng, who is full of Northwest strong thoughts in his bones, never use his fists to solve problems in his life after that.

It's a pity that Lin Feng didn't achieve anything in his previous life, and he has never been embarrassed to go back to see him.

And this time, Lin Feng hopes to invite Wu Fayuan to serve as an independent director of Menglong Company.

The three independent directors of Menglong's board of directors have been finalized two, respectively by the original company consultant, Beijing Post telecommunications expert, Professor Meng Haoran, and Goldman Sachs partner William Decker (William Decker), Li Dong's suggestion is to invite another legal expert with a high reputation, and recommended the chairman of the Hong Kong Bar Association, senior barrister Liang Jiajie.

This candidate was rejected by Lin Feng.

He thought of his mentor, who is also an authority and expert in the field of corporate law in China. Professor Wu Fayuan.

…………

For Lin Feng's visit, Wu Fayuan was still very happy.

As a teacher, I always have a father-son relationship for my students, especially those who are more optimistic.

Engaged in education for decades, the first class of students graduated, many people slowly disappeared into the sea of people, forgotten in memory, but some students will often not forget the teacher's kindness and come back to see him. That's when he's most grateful.

In his eyes, Lin Feng is a good seedling, but unfortunately Lin Feng has other ideas and did not work in the legal profession after graduation.

However, Lin Feng started his own company and started a business, which can be regarded as another practice of economic law and company law, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Seeing that Lin Feng brought gifts such as cigarettes, alcohol, and the four treasures of the study, he casually smiled and scolded twice: "It's good to come and see me, what are you doing with these?" After letting the nanny take it, she took Lin Feng into the study.

In Wu Fayuan's study, at a glance, there are books everywhere from the large bookcases, desks, coffee tables, and sofas that occupy the entire wall, among which there are many British and American classics ......of law.

Lin Feng sat down and said with a smile: "Teacher, every time I come to your study, I feel that I have to read more books when I go back, you are already the most authoritative economic law expert in China, and you still insist on studying and writing every day, my student is really a little unqualified......"

Wu Fayuan made him a cup of tea, sat on the chair opposite the sofa, and said with a smile: "You are right to have this feeling, although you are no longer in school, but learning is a lifelong thing, read more books, and constantly absorb the ideas of predecessors, but also to improve your understanding of the world, establish your own world view, values, for your life and career, are beneficial." ”

Lin Feng nodded and said with a smile: "Teacher, speaking of which, I really have something to ask you, the company I started is recently preparing to be listed on the NASDAQ in the United States, and I would like to invite you to serve as an independent director of the company." ”

Wu Fayuan was stunned, shook his head with a smile, pointed his finger at Lin Feng, and said, "I said why are you so good, this little guy, come back to the school to see me, it turns out that you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace!"

Lin Feng scratched his head and said with a smile: "Yes, I also think that the company's overseas listing, to adapt to various domestic and American laws, is a good opportunity to closely study the differences between the two countries in terms of corporate governance and legal supervision, and I think after China's accession to the WTO, there will be more and more companies listed overseas, which is a good topic, you should take it as a social practice...... , just do the student a small favor, okay? You see, I even brought you a letter of appointment. ”

As he spoke, he took out the letter of appointment and handed it to Wu Fayuan with both hands.

Wu Fayuan took the letter of appointment, opened it, and said with a smile: "Okay, you, the independent director of Menglong Technology Co., Ltd., have a salary of 800,000 yuan a year? ”

With Wu Fayuan's status in the domestic legal circles, countless domestic listed companies wanted to ask him to be an independent director, but he did not agree, because he felt that it would involve a lot of energy in meaningless matters.

However, what Lin Feng said just now is a bit reasonable, overseas listed companies are a new type of company that has emerged in recent years, and it is worth studying in terms of corporate structure and governance to adapt to the different laws at home and abroad. That's a good subject.

Lin Feng smiled: "We are listed in the United States, and the disclosure is calculated in US dollars, and your INED's salary is 100,000 US dollars per year, which is not high in the NASDAQ stock market." ”

Then he introduced the situation of Menglong Company to Wu Fayuan in detail, including the company's organizational structure, financing, current business scope, and preparations for listing.

Wu Fayuan listened carefully and nodded frequently.

I didn't expect Lin Feng to graduate in just two years, and his career has developed so well, although it sounds easy, but starting from scratch, it must be not easy for Lin Feng to go all the way.

After thinking about it again and again, looking at Lin Feng's expectant eyes, Wu Fayuan finally nodded.

"Well, I agreed, and I also took this opportunity to look at the cases of overseas listed companies. ”

"Thank you, teacher!" Lin Feng was inexplicably excited.

This is a very wonderful feeling, the former teacher, the professor he admires, is invited to serve as an independent director of his company, which represents the teacher's recognition of him.

It also represents that Lin Feng has embarked on a new realm of life.

Wu Fayuan said with a smile: "After a while, it will be the centennial celebration of the school, and I think you can also return to the school as an outstanding alumnus to participate in the school celebration." ”

Lin Feng nodded obediently: "Okay, when the time comes, I will also donate 10 million to my alma mater for academic research and student scholarships." ”

Wu Fayuan looked at Lin Feng, shook his head and smiled: "Two years after graduation, I see that you have also learned a lot...... , Okay, I don't care about this, you can do it. ”

After having dinner at home with Wu Fayuan at noon, Lin Feng said goodbye and left.

……………

Along the gravel path on the shore of the "Heart Lake" next to Yuxiu Garden, Lin Feng took a slow walk.

The sun is shining, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the flowers are blowing the willows all the way, and the lake is sparkling.

Although nominally graduated 2 years ago, in fact, for Lin Feng, it has been 20 years since he left the campus.

In the busy work day after day in his previous life, he has long forgotten the youthful time and memories on campus.

and Ye Weiyu gradually became entangled in the trivial things in life, and love unconsciously turned into family affection.

When I returned here, many long-term memories that had been deposited in the depths of my mind gradually emerged.

This "heart lake" on the campus of Northern University is famous for its shape similar to a heart, and it is known as the two holy places of love in Beijing colleges and universities together with the Weiming Lake of Peking University.

I remember once, on a snowy white Christmas, Lin Feng rode out and found a balloon buyer under the overpass near the National People's Congress, and bought two red heart-shaped balloons, ready to give Ye Weiyu as a gift.

Back at school, I made an appointment with Ye Weiyu by the heart lake.

At that time, across the heart lake, Ye Weiyu wore a red down jacket, and the scene of laughing and running to him in the heavy snow was so vivid and unforgettable when I think about it at this moment.

There are countless summer nights, when the two go out to play and come back too late, the door of the girls' dormitory is closed, and the two sit on the benches by the heart lake and chat all night, as if there are endless words.

Twenty years in the past and present lives, really recalling, there are really too many good memories between the two.

Lin Feng thought to himself, the so-called original intention may be this kind of time hidden deep in his mind and the touching at that time.

In the prosperous world and splendid life in the future, remember to leave a corner in your heart.

Remember that time.

At that time, they had nothing but love.
