196: 196. I've long admired you.
Before Lin Wanqiu could sort out her thoughts, a scene that left her and all the Student Union cadres behind her dumbfounded occurred!
After Lu Feng finished speaking, he actually walked past her, without the slightest hesitation or knocking to ask for permission, he simply reached out and naturally pushed open the conference room door, which symbolized extremely high authority and a solemn occasion, and walked in!
The security personnel looked straight ahead and did not stop him.
"Hey! Lu..."
Lin Wanqiu subconsciously tried to reach out and grab him, but she grabbed nothing, her hand frozen in mid-air, only able to watch his back disappear behind the door, and the heavy wooden door slowly closed in front of her.
Her mind was blank.
At the entrance of the lounge, the atmosphere fell into a dead silence.
Everyone in the Student Union looked as if their jaws were about to drop to the floor, goosebumps rising from their tailbones straight to their foreheads.
"I didn't see wrong, did I?"
"What the hell is going on? He... he just walked in?"
"Didn't even knock? Something big is going to happen..."
In the crowd, Zhang Zhanpeng and Liu Yuxi looked at each other, both seeing extreme shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.
They had felt that Lu Feng was not simple before, but they never expected him to be not simple to this extent!
During a meeting of this level, to push the door open so familiarly and casually?! This could no longer be explained by him being an ordinary student or having some background!
Zhang Zhanpeng gasped madly.
"He went in... didn't even knock..." Liu Yuxi's voice was a little strained, and he adjusted his glasses that were about to slip down his nose, feeling that his perception had been unprecedentedly impacted.
And Lin Wanqiu, standing at the very front, her hand holding the tray trembled slightly, her mind a mess.
Worry, doubt, shock... all kinds of emotions intertwined.
She was worried that Lu Feng's rash intrusion would cause big trouble, but seeing his calm and unhurried demeanor, she vaguely felt that things might not be as she imagined.
After standing frozen in place for a good while, Lin Wanqiu suddenly came back to her senses.
No matter what, the tea still had to be delivered. She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the turbulent waves in her heart, and gently knocked on the door with her slightly trembling hand, then pushed the tea cart, walking into the conference room with an indescribable mix of curiosity and apprehension... Inside the conference room, the atmosphere was a mix of seriousness and anticipation.
The principal was still sketching out the possible image of Mr. Lu in his mind, would he be a dignified elder, or a profound middle-aged man?
Suddenly, the conference room door was gently pushed open.
Everyone looked over, only to see a young man who looked like a student, dressed in simple casual clothes, with a tall stature and a hint of youthful naivety on his face, walking in with a natural demeanor.
The principal was stunned for a moment, finding the student somewhat familiar, and then remembered that this seemed to be a student from their school, who had even performed a program at the previous freshman welcome party?
Why would he break in here? The principal's brow furrowed subconsciously, and he was about to tell the staff to invite him out, lest he offend the distinguished guest.
However, the next second, what happened made the words on the principal's lips get stuck, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his face was filled with extreme shock and disbelief!
He saw Yu Tianxiong, who had been sitting as steady as a mountain, immediately stand up the moment he saw this young man!
The movement was swift and natural, with a heartfelt reverence. He quickly stepped forward, bowed slightly, and spoke in a steady but clear tone:
"Sir, you've arrived."
Immediately after, Chief Scientist Professor Qin Tian also stood up, a sincere and respectful smile on his face, nodding in greeting: "Mr. Lu."
The entire conference room instantly fell into a strange silence.
The experts brought by Lü Chenxing looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise and uncertainty.
And the principal of Jiangcheng University was even more like he had been struck by a body-fixing spell, staring blankly at the young student standing in the center of the conference room, receiving respectful greetings from Yu Tianxiong and Qin Tian, with only one thought echoing madly in his mind:
He... he is Mr. Lu?! No mistake, right? Is the world crazy?! Behind Tingfeng Energy... that mysterious boss... is actually a... university student?! And he's only... a freshman?!
This principal, who had seen many storms, was completely unable to digest this unimaginable fact before him for a while.
After Lin Wanqiu came in, she also saw this scene, and her body trembled uncontrollably, even spilling a lot of tea.
She hurriedly squatted down to clean up, her cheeks burning red, but a storm that swept everything had already risen in her heart: Lu Feng... he... who exactly is he?!
...Lu Feng looked composed, as if he had just walked into an ordinary classroom, his gaze calmly met Lü Chenxing's eyes, and he slowly walked to the conference table.
Lü Chenxing looked at this excessively young face, and although there was a fleeting surprise in his eyes, there was more of a sense of confirmation, "as expected."
He stood up, not showing the slightest neglect due to the other party's age, and actively extended his hand.
"Mr. Lu, I've long admired you." Lü Chenxing's tone carried an appropriate solemnity.
Facing Minister Lü, a high-ranking official, Lu Feng was not at all flustered. He generously extended his hand and firmly shook the other's, a calm smile on his face: "Minister Lü, I've long admired you."
Yu Tianxiong had already quietly given up the main seat, and Lu Feng did not decline, sitting down calmly, with a composed posture, as if that position originally belonged to him.
Lu Feng looked around, smiling at the dumbfounded principal, and then smiled slightly at Lin Wanqiu, who was holding the tray.
Lü Chenxing observed all the subtle reactions, gaining a clearer understanding of the weight of this young "Mr. Lu."
He no longer beat around the bush, getting straight to the point, and adopting a very humble stance: "Mr. Lu, your technology is a strategic trump card urgently needed by the country. We are here with the utmost sincerity. Please feel free to state any conditions or demands you have. Policies, funds, market access... the country will provide the strongest support to ensure that the technology can be successfully transformed and form true national competitiveness."
He did not use his power to pressure them, but instead presented a posture of win-win cooperation.
Lu Feng appreciated this directness. After a slight pause, he stated his bottom line and leverage: "Minister Lü, we are deeply honored by the country's support. Our core demands are two-fold: First, Tingfeng Energy must maintain independent operating rights and ownership of core technology. Second, in the vast civilian consumer market, we reserve the right to conduct independent commercial development."
He changed the subject, his tone steady: "At the same time, we can provide top-priority support for national strategic needs, prioritizing customized battery development for specific projects, such as aerospace, deep-sea exploration, and cutting-edge military equipment, and accept on-site expert review."
Without petty squabbling over profits or greedy demands for preferential policies, what Lu Feng demonstrated was a strategic vision beyond the commercial sphere, maintaining the independence of the enterprise while also considering the needs of national strategy, with a perfectly balanced approach.
These were not at all the words of a student, but rather those of a seasoned strategist, drawing a blueprint for the long-term development of both the nation and the enterprise.
Lü Chenxing nodded frequently as he listened, his admiration growing stronger.
The experts he brought also secretly praised: "This young man, despite his youth, is so meticulous and mature in his thinking, and his vision is far beyond ordinary people."
Yu Tianxiong and Qin Tian remained quietly seated on the side, looking relaxed, clearly indicating that everything would be based on Lu Feng's decisions.
This scene caused even greater turmoil in the principal's heart, his mouth slightly open, wide enough to fit an egg.
He felt that his decades of understanding were being frantically reshaped.
How did this seemingly ordinary student on campus suddenly transform into a giant who could sit as equals and chat cheerfully with a national ministerial head?
When did such a true god hide in his school?!
And Lin Wanqiu at the door had long forgotten the tea tray in her hands. She looked at Lu Feng, who was speaking eloquently in the conference room, her heart swaying, as if she was truly meeting this person for the first time.
