【PS: Sigh, no matter how I write, there are always people who are dissatisfied. When I wrote Super Palm Teacher, there were also a lot of criticisms. Fortunately, I have a good appetite and am still healthy. Life isn't easy! Everyone, please support me and give me some motivation! Here's the reader group number: 252012787, ignore it if you don't like it.】

Chen Yunhao heard Su Wen's shout and looked at him with a mix of shame and anger. "Are you mocking me? I admit I can't compare to you in any way, but please don't insult me like this."

Su Wen shook his head; he was too lazy to deliberately insult anyone.

"Chen Yunhao, what does your future look like?"

"Future?"

"If you plan to pursue a master's or doctoral degree, what will you do after graduation? If you're not going into research, you'll end up doing the same thing as everyone else—earning money. Since the ultimate goal is to live for money, why not choose a more beneficial path now? I'm giving you an opportunity. Just name your price, and it will be your salary three years from now. If you think it's acceptable, name your price!" Su Wen said calmly.

At this moment, he seemed extremely crazy, talking about money non-stop, but it felt natural. However, the students didn't resent Su Wen; instead, they showed some admiration. To dare make such a promise was definitely not a joke.

"Are you really planning to have me work for you?" Chen Yunhao calmed down. He was a bit old-fashioned, but being old-fashioned didn't mean he was stupid. "Why, why choose me? Just because of my grades?"

"Grades?" Su Wen shook his head. "Your grades at school mean nothing to me. When I was at Peking University, I had the best grades in my year, but in the end, I was still looked down upon. I never thought I was that excellent, and you shouldn't think you are either. In this vast world, there are many people more excellent than you. You might be strong in one field, but in another, someone will definitely outperform you."

"Then why?"

"Because you are naive and pure. When I choose people, the first condition is loyalty. Your personality fits well. If you find this hard to accept, let me put it another way: your personality suits being my subordinate. I won't worry about you plotting against me."

Many people broke out in a cold sweat. Chu Fei rubbed her eyes; she couldn't believe Su Wen would say such things. Was this his other side? The elegant Su Wen was gone, and now he was domineering and arrogant, making anyone bow before him.

"Is that really what you think?" Chen Yunhao drew a deep breath.

"If you're willing, name your price."

"Three years from now, an annual salary of one million, and you can't fire me without cause." Chen Yunhao thought for a moment.

"Agreed." Su Wen didn't hesitate. "For the next three years, you will work for me. But I prefer to say that you are selling the next three years of your life to me. During these three years, my orders will be your highest command. After three years, if you don't owe me any time, you can freely choose how long you want to work for me, with an annual salary of one million, no less."

"Alright! But what do you mean by not owing me time?"

Su Wen smiled mysteriously. "You'll understand soon. The longer you stay by my side, the more time you'll owe me. Three years is just the beginning."

"I understand. When can I start work? I can immediately apply for a leave of absence."

"Start work tomorrow, and continue your studies part-time, with a salary."

"Understood."

Su Wen nodded and looked at the time. "I have to go to class. You can leave now."

"Okay, see you tomorrow!"

Chen Yunhao turned and left. At that moment, his back seemed to glow. No one knew why this naive person agreed to Su Wen's offer. Even years later, when he became one of the few strong people in the world, no one could understand why. Only Chen Yunhao himself kept cursing in his heart: "You think I agreed voluntarily? The main reason is that it's really hard to find a job now. This guy, Su Wen, doesn't care about breaking a jade bracelet worth 300,000. Following him will easily secure a good future. Besides, he let me name my price. Why wouldn't I take such a shortcut? Do you think I'm as stupid as him?"

Su Wen didn't know that the seemingly old-fashioned Chen Yunhao was also a genius. This employee would bring him unexpected surprises. But Su Wen didn't have time to think about it now; he had to teach a class to a group of troublemakers.

However, the class seemed strange, with people constantly coming in.

Su Wen didn't know that after defeating Cheng Jin and recruiting the top student Chen Yunhao, his reputation had spread throughout Jiangning University. Many people were curious about him, and many students had come to see him. By the end of the first class, the classroom, which originally held 200 people, was now packed with nearly 300, and more people were peering in from the hallway.

The head of the academic affairs office of Jiangning University.

He looked at Building B, Room 213, and grabbed a student. "Whose class is this? Why are so many students attending?"

"Old Master Chu's class." The student quickly straightened up upon seeing the head of the academic affairs office.

"Ah, it's Old Master Chu. That's not surprising." The head of the academic affairs office thought for a moment. "These days, it's a money-driven society. If you can learn even a bit of Old Master Chu's skills, you won't have any problem making a living. No wonder so many people come to his classes."

The student agreed with the head of the academic affairs office. "Old Master Chu is top-notch in appraising treasures, and his character is excellent. His former graduate students are all millionaires now, and tens of thousands of students have benefited from him. He is a well-deserved old professor at Jiangning University, a grandfather who teaches you how to make money. Following Old Master Chu is like having a golden finger in life. But the one teaching now isn't Old Master Chu; it's his teaching assistant."

"Old Master Chu's teaching assistant?" The head of the academic affairs office was stunned.

"Yes, his name is Su Wen. He's amazing. He defeated Cheng Jin in one hit and just recruited the top student Chen Yunhao as his subordinate. Chen Yunhao will start working for him tomorrow. I'm so envious!" The student drooled.

"You... " The head of the academic affairs office was stunned. "Damn, he beat our student and is making our ungraduated student work for him. That Su Wen has gone too far. He should be kicked out, not allowed to teach."

The student trembled. "I'll go listen to the class first. I heard he's quite interesting."

The head of the academic affairs office watched the student leave and immediately called Old Master Chu. Since Su Wen was brought by Old Master Chu, he didn't dare to deal with Su Wen without informing him, especially after hearing that Su Wen defeated Cheng Jin in one hit.

Su Wen was still teaching, and he occasionally showed an item.

He might not be good at other things, but appraising treasures was not a problem. During the class, he combined theory with practice, explaining some appraisal techniques in detail. Although it seemed a bit like cramming, who cared? The students were only interested in how much the antiques Su Wen showed were worth.

"The first one is worth 200,000, the second one 400,000, plus the broken one worth 300,000. That's almost one million." A student calculated.

Su Wen seemed to know what the students were thinking, but he didn't point it out. Using these antiques to attract the students' attention, what was wrong with that? Besides, he was only teaching a couple of classes. It would be even better if he could poach some talent from Jiangning University. One Chen Yunhao wasn't enough; he needed a hundred, a thousand Chen Yunhaos. Otherwise, how could he make the Treasure Hall grow and prosper? This was just being prepared.

The second class was almost over.

Su Wen looked at the many interested students and said loudly, "I am the current owner of the Treasure Hall. To make the Treasure Hall grow and prosper, I hope to recruit some excellent talent. Whether part-time or full-time, if you are interested, you can come to the Treasure Hall for an interview. Once hired, the benefits and treatment will be excellent."

"How much, how much?" Voices rose and fell.

"I'm offering Chen Yunhao 8,000 a month. You can get 6,000, but this is just the beginning. If you perform well, 100,000 or even one million in the future is not a problem. Honestly, these are small amounts. If you're willing, you can come for an interview tomorrow. Even part-time, the daily wage won't be less than 200."

After Su Wen finished speaking, many students couldn't contain their excitement.

On one hand, they really thought Su Wen's offer was high. On the other hand, they knew what the Treasure Hall was. Learning real appraisal skills there would ensure a bright future. Entering the Treasure Hall was like becoming a disciple of Old Master Chu, with a bright future under the protection of his senior students.

"Get down from there!" A loud voice came.

Old Master Chu appeared at the door, along with the head of the academic affairs office. Pointing at Su Wen, he said angrily, "This guy beat our student and is luring students to work for him. I'm going to report him, report him!"

Old Master Chu looked at the head of the academic affairs office and said quietly, "I think reporting him is a bad idea. Tang Long, the bureau chief, is this guy's uncle. Who do you think will arrest him?"

The head of the academic affairs office was shocked. "A princeling?"

"Something like that." Old Master Chu nodded.

"Then get him out of here. Don't let him appear at Jiangning University again. I'll list him as the most unwelcome person at Jiangning University as soon as I get back. His visit is like a bomb being thrown at our school. Over a thousand students have gathered outside, and the forum is crashing. This time, he's indirectly harmed many students." The head of the academic affairs office said angrily.

"The most unwelcome person at Jiangning University?" Old Master Chu couldn't help but smile. "That's quite an honor. I'm sure Su Wen will be very happy."

Su Wen walked down from the podium and passed by Old Master Chu, whispering, "Old man, how did I do today? I lured a group of good employees. Don't forget to give me a raise when you get back. 6,000 is too little."

"You brat, I only gave you 6,000, and you're asking for 8,000. Are you crazy?" Old Master Chu scolded.

"Small money doesn't attract big money. Do you think we'll lack the money? These kids are all raw gems, good for cultivation. Don't thank me; I'm doing this for the Treasure Hall. Well, the old man in front of you is already glaring at me. He was probably kicked out of bed by his wife yesterday. I won't talk to him; he might take out his anger on me. I'm leaving. I won't come back to Jiangning University. Teaching is too tiring." Su Wen waved and left.
