Chapter 9 Don't Underestimate My Horizons
Chapter 9 Don't Underestimate My Horizons
Around 10 a.m., Lin Feng, who was used to sleeping in, got out of bed with messy hair. Before he had even fully opened his eyes, he saw Wang Peng sitting in front of the computer.
Li Hao has vanished without a trace, while Zhao Xiaodong remains lifeless on his bed.
"Dapeng, up so early?" Lin Feng rubbed his eyes and got out of bed.
"Brother Feng, you're famous now!" Wang Peng pointed at the computer screen, his face beaming with excitement.
Wang Peng's popular science post, "Three Minutes to Teach You to Identify Whether an MP3 is 'Truly Bad' or 'Victim'," which he spent half the night compiling, has become a top-ranked hot post on the campus BBS forum.
In the post, Wang Peng condensed and refined the entire process of Lin Feng's disassembly and testing, accompanied by clear comparison diagrams of solder joints, voltage data measured by a multimeter, and even simple popular science explanations of circuit principles.
The poster's ID is "Golden-Winged Roc," which is Wang Peng's alternate account.
He didn't directly name Zhou Yang and Liu Wei, but subtly mentioned the actions of a certain "competing business" at the end of the article—we just need to keep that in mind. The world is a long road; take care of yourself.
The implications between the lines are obvious to anyone with discerning eyes.
After reading it, Lin Feng's lips curled up slightly: "Da Peng, this level is not bad."
Wang Peng scrolled down the screen: "Brother Feng, look at the replies below!"
"Wow! I was there! I saw the president take the machine apart with my own eyes, that's amazing!"
"There is definitely a problem with this solder joint. I studied electronics, and I can tell at a glance that it has been reheated."
"So those three people deliberately caused trouble? Who ordered them?"
"Upstairs, didn't you read the last sentence? It goes without saying who the 'competitors' are!"
"Is it Zhou Yang from the Computer Science department? I heard he's always been at odds with Lin Feng."
"Don't talk nonsense, there's no evidence..."
"No evidence? Those three machines are the evidence! Hahahaha!"
The comments below were scrolling by quickly. Some praised Lin Feng for his professionalism, some cursed the troublemakers for being unethical, and many freshmen asked how to join the Digital Music Club.
The "Sichuan University of Technology Digital Music Club" became a well-known hardcore club throughout the school overnight, aspiring to join many students.
"Okay." Lin Feng patted Wang Peng on the shoulder. "Keep the momentum going, but don't mention the club selling MP3 players. We're a 'pure culture club'."
"Understood." Wang Peng understood immediately.
As they were talking, Li Hao carried the thermos back to his dormitory.
He leaned over and glanced at it a few times: "Dapeng, this post of yours is more effective than posting a hundred 'little GG' pictures. I just went to the washroom and heard two people talking about what happened last night."
"What are you talking about?"
"Just say someone deliberately caused trouble, and the president used his skills to completely crush them." Li Hao grinned.
"Some people say Zhou Yang's face turned green last night, and he even bumped his leg when he left, limping away. He looked utterly pathetic!"
Wang Peng and Li Hao burst into laughter.
"Dapeng, how many members does our music club have now?" Lin Feng asked.
Wang Peng pulled out a membership registration form. Including the 30-odd new members recruited on Saturday night, there were now over 100 members. Liu Wei, Zhang Qiang, and Li Lei were also expelled.
Taking advantage of the music club's recruitment event, half of the 50 new MP3 players Lin Feng had just purchased had already been sold.
The problem he is facing now is that the application for official membership in the music club is stuck with Wu Feng, the head of the student union's club department, and there has been no progress.
Wang Peng reminded him, "Brother Feng, our company's approval process can't be delayed any longer."
"Then what should we do? Go and argue with him?" Li Hao asked.
"It's no use." Lin Feng shook his head. "I've inquired, and they won't give us approval because selling MP3s is too commercialized. We'll have to find another way."
"Brother Feng, is there any other way?"
Lin Feng leaned against the table, arms crossed: "Find the person in charge of Wu Feng, Teacher Zheng from the Youth League Committee. I heard this teacher has a lot of ideas."
Two days later, Lin Feng arrived at the school's Youth League Committee office building ten minutes early to wait.
He made an appointment with Teacher Zheng from the school's Youth League Committee through Teacher Zhang from his department to report on the "Digital Music Club".
Lin Feng deliberately rinsed his hair with water and held a file folder in his hand containing printed materials.
Five minutes later, Teacher Zhang arrived and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be nervous, Teacher Zheng is a nice person and very serious about his work."
Lin Feng nodded. The two walked upstairs side by side to the door of the school's Youth League Committee office.
The door was half open.
Teacher Zhang knocked on the door: "Teacher Zheng, I've brought Lin Feng."
"Please come in."
Pushing open the door, I saw a man in his mid-thirties sitting behind a desk, wearing frameless glasses and a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his forearms.
He looked up and saw Teacher Zhang and Lin Feng, then stood up and greeted them with a smile, "Please sit down."
Teacher Zhang sat down on the sofa, and Lin Feng took out a copy of "Digital Music Club of Xichuan University of Technology: Growth Record and Future Planning" from the file bag and handed it to Teacher Zheng.
Teacher Zheng took the document and quickly glanced at it: "Teacher Zhang mentioned your digital music club to me. I heard you've also held music sharing sessions and lectures on digital product usage?"
"Thank you for your concern, Teacher Zheng. Our club was only recently established, but we have received strong support from our fellow students. We live in the digital age, and listening to digital music has become a fashionable trend."
Teacher Zheng opened the table of contents, and the materials were divided into several parts: "Club Overview", "Activity Records", "Member Development", and "Future Plans".
He nodded and continued scrolling down.
The music club started with just a few members, and after the recruitment event last Saturday, it has exceeded one hundred members.
The members come from various academic departments, including electrical engineering, computer science, communications, Chinese literature, music, art, accounting, and more.
Next are photos from the event.
There were smiling faces sitting on the lawn listening to music, scenes of disassembling machines in the multi-functional hall, Shen Jingyi's downcast eyes while playing and singing, and group photos after the event...
Finally, there's the "future planning".
A draft plan for the "First Xichuan University of Technology Digital Music Festival".
Teacher Zheng was attracted by the event planning of the digital music festival.
Lin Feng's plan is divided into three parts: original music competition, digital technology experience, and audio and video technology lectures.
The event is tentatively scheduled for around Christmas in December, and the location is tentatively set at the activity center's multi-purpose hall and outdoor lawn.
In addition, an activity budget, personnel assignments, and safety plans were all prepared.
Teacher Zheng nodded from time to time.
"Did you plan this event all by yourself?" Teacher Zheng looked up at Lin Feng.
"It was something we, the core members, came up with together," Lin Feng emphasized the role of the team. "We are an organization; we pool our wisdom and efforts to make progress together!"
"What was your original intention in forming the digital music club?" Teacher Zheng asked.
Lin Feng replied, "I want to make the club a place that can truly help students. Popularizing technology, sharing music—everyone comes together because of their interests, and through communication, we make progress together. These are valuable things."
Suddenly, Teacher Zheng posed a pointed question: "Someone told me that you formed the digital music club to sell MP3 players?"
The question came suddenly, and Teacher Zhang's expression changed slightly. She was about to speak up to smooth things over...
Lin Feng was prepared and replied calmly, "It's true that I'm in the MP3 business, but to say that I set up a digital music club just to sell MP3s is to underestimate my ambition."
His gaze swept over the slogan "Cultivating Morality and Nurturing Talent" on the office wall, and his tone became more resolute:
"Just like learning scientific and cultural knowledge, it can help us find a job and earn money after graduation. But learning is also about improving our abilities and broadening our horizons. In the future, no matter what we do after leaving campus, we can contribute our share to society and the country."
After Lin Feng finished speaking, the office fell silent instantly.
Teacher Zhang's pupils contracted slightly, and he was secretly amazed.
Teacher Zheng didn't respond, but turned to Teacher Zhang and asked, "Teacher Zhang, are all engineering students this talkative these days?"
Teacher Zhang paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Just him!"
