After Financial Freedom, I Return to Campus

Li Fan grew up in poverty, forced to leave school early to carve his own path in the world. After years of relentless struggle, he achieves remarkable business success and complete financial independence. Now at forty, he makes an unexpected choice: to return to university and reclaim the campus life he never had. Unlike a typical rebirth story, Li Fan steps onto campus not as a blank slate, but as a seasoned entrepreneur with razor-sharp instincts, extensive social experience, and—most crucially—existing wealth and a powerful network. The question quickly becomes: how could such a figure not completely upend the ordinary college world? In his downtime, he casually coaches his roommates on launching a startup, steering them all the way to a provincial gold award. When he spots students being mistreated, he steps in to defend their rights, exposing a handful of corrupt individuals along the way. With every minor move he makes, more people seem eager to step forward—only to be thoroughly outmatched by his quiet competence. Yet his presence does not go unnoticed by the opposite sex. A gentle campus beauty confesses, "Uncle junior, I think I've fallen for you." A mature female teacher suggests, "Li Fan, maybe we should give this a try." A gold-digging senior admits bluntly, "I love your money—and you too." Other female students vie for his attention, declaring they want no one but this "older man." To all of it, Li Fan can only reply with a weary smile: "Let's just focus on studying, shall we?"
