Chapter 494 University Dormitory

Under the guidance of two enthusiastic senior students, Lu Cheng successfully completed the registration, then took some things and returned to his dormitory.

The Department of Architecture of Southeast University was founded in 1927. It is a top-notch major and is one of the best in the country, even considered second only to Tsinghua University.

Moreover, in this era of large-scale construction, architecture is still a relatively popular major.

When Lu Cheng arrived at the dormitory, there was only one classmate in the dormitory. When he saw Lu Cheng, he stood up and greeted him: "Hello, classmate. My name is Tao Mingxuan, and I am from Zhuji, Jiangsu and Zhejiang."

"Hello, I'm Lu Cheng, a native of Jinling. Are you the only one who just arrived in our dormitory?"

"Yes, you are the second one. There is a name written on the bed, so you should sleep in the bunk below me. Do you want me to help you clean it up?"

"No, thank you. You can rest first. I don't have much stuff, so you can pack it yourself."

Lu Cheng spread out a cool mat on the bed, then put a sheet on it, pressed the corners, put the bedding on, got up and put his spare clothes and shoes in his own closet.

The dormitories at the University of Tokyo have four people in one room, the space is not big, and the environment is not very good.

Lu Cheng just took a casual glance and saw a cigarette butt stuffed in a hole in the iron bed. There were also some dark brown stains in the corner of the balcony that had not been cleaned up. These were left by the previous seniors.

Lu Cheng had just finished packing his things when he saw another boy coming in from outside. He was tall and thin, with a dark complexion and a short flat head. He was carrying a large, old schoolbag and a urea bag full of things.

Seeing the two people in the dormitory, the new student smiled naively and asked, "Hello, classmates. Is this dormitory 306?"

"Yes."

"Hello, my name is Zhou Songtao, and I'm from Luo City, Henan Province. We'll be classmates from now on."

"Hello, I'm Tao Mingxuan..."

The three of them introduced themselves to each other and packed up their things.

Not long after, the fourth student in the dormitory arrived. His name was Xu Chaoqian and he was from Mianyang, Sichuan Province.

After introducing themselves to each other and packing up their things, they prepared to walk around the school together, go to the cafeteria to have a meal and experience the food at Tokyo University.

Among the three classmates, Tao Mingxuan's family conditions were much better. His family ran a sock factory. He carried the latest Nokia phone and was considered a rich second-generation.

Xu Chaoqian's family is from the county town and his family conditions are pretty good.

Zhou Songtao, from Henan Province, is a pure rural person. His parents make a living by farming. His family has spent a lot of effort to raise enough money for his tuition. He is currently the only college student in the village.

You can imagine how hard Zhou worked to be admitted to Southeast University from Henan Province.

When getting food in the cafeteria, Lu Cheng saw Zhou Songtao lingering at the food window, looking up at the price list above, so he took the initiative to say, "Tao Mingxuan, Xu Chaoqian, Zhou Songtao, you are all from other places. I am a local of Jinling. Today is the first time we have a small gathering in the dormitory, so let me, a local, be the host. This meal is on me, please order whatever you want."

Tao Mingxuan had no objection: "Okay, I'll treat you to the next meal."

The other two didn't say anything more after hearing this, but Zhou Songtao was still calculating how much it would cost to treat the three classmates to a meal.

In fact, good university food is usually cheaper.

Especially dishes like stir-fried bean sprouts, stir-fried winter melon, stir-fried shredded carrots, stir-fried shredded potatoes, etc., which are usually only a few cents per serving, and there is also free seaweed egg drop soup, although the seaweed egg drop soup is indeed very watery.

The four of them took out their lunch boxes. Lu Cheng, Tao Mingxuan and Xu Chaoqian's lunch boxes were all stainless steel lunch boxes with interlayers and a small bowl. Zhou Songtao's was an old enamel jar with some glaze peeling off.

Afterwards, everyone ordered diced potatoes and chicken, stir-fried meat with black fungus, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, duck soup, etc. They also ordered a few pounds of rice for each person and found a dining table to sit down and eat.

Seeing such a sumptuous meal, Zhou Songtao, despite his tight wallet, gritted his teeth and said, "Well, wait until Tao Mingxuan treats everyone, and I'll treat you next time."

Xu Chaoqian, who was standing by, obviously saw Zhou Songtao's embarrassment and laughed: "Old Zhou, wait until I've treated you first before you treat me. There's no rush."

These days, farmers' income is very low, especially in a major agricultural province like Henan.

If you are in the same dormitory with your classmates, you will definitely take care of those who are in poor conditions. Of course, even if you don’t take care of them, it’s okay, no one owes anyone anything.

However, through this simple observation, Lu Cheng found that the people in this dormitory should be okay.

After eating, they washed their lunch boxes and returned to the dormitory. Lu Cheng suggested, "Brothers, the hygiene of our dormitory is still a little poor. We will live here for a long time. Why don't we work together and bother you?"

"no problem."

"I sweep the floor."

"I'll clean the table..."

After a meal and some small talk, everyone started to get to know each other. Moreover, this meal was invited by Lu Cheng, and it was difficult for everyone to refuse something that Lu Cheng asked to arrange.

Within the time it took to eat a meal, Lu Cheng had basically established his leadership position in this small circle in the dormitory.

Afterwards, several people worked together to clean the entire dormitory carefully and thoroughly, leaving no sanitary blind spots unattended.

After finishing their work, all three of them were sweating profusely, but Lu Cheng was the only one who remained calm and collected. He picked up his toiletries and prepared to wash up.

In the afternoon, more people arrived to register, and naturally there were also parents who sent their children to the dormitory. In some cases, the entire family, young and old, men, women and children, came together to send their children to the dormitory.

As soon as Lu Cheng walked to the door of the dormitory, he heard a voice coming from the dormitory opposite: "Hello, my name is Chen Xiaozheng."

Lu Cheng looked up and saw a boy wearing a dark blue lapel T-shirt, with his hair parted in a 3:7 style and a somewhat stiff expression, introducing himself.

Obviously, this is the protagonist of this story, Chen Xiaozheng. He grew up in a single-parent family and studied under the strict requirements of his mother. He does not have the vigor of other boys and his clothes are a bit old-fashioned.

After just a glance, Lu Cheng walked towards the bathroom. He wanted to take a shower, but when he saw his female relatives walking outside the bathroom, he gave up. He washed up, wiped the sweat off his body, and returned to the dormitory.

In the afternoon, the three students rested, while Lu Cheng sat at the desk, organizing his thoughts.

No matter if he had experienced multiple reincarnations or returned to his youth, Lu Cheng always thought about making money. After all, he was really afraid of being poor before he traveled through time.

Right now, with the family savings plus the more than 3,000 yuan I earned before, I still have 32,000 yuan left after paying the tuition.

Even if you don't use the money in the storage space, you can still make money by speculating in stocks.

If you want to live a fulfilling college life, there are still many things to learn, plus time to enjoy life, so you won’t have much extra free time.

If you want to make money during college, you also need to plan well.

In 2002, the stock market rebounded from the bottom of 1339 points in the first half of the year, and then fell from the peak of 1748 points in the second half of the year.

If you were to travel through the first half of the year, it would be easier to make money in the stock market, but now you have to put in some effort.

As many listed companies were found to have committed fraud and had high price-to-earnings ratios, the stock market also suffered a severe impact.

When the overall situation is not good, even if you have the advantage of foresight, the returns will not be very good, and more sophisticated operations will be required.
