For the purpose of theft prevention, fire prevention, and also to prevent possible off-campus criminal invasions, surveillance equipment is installed in the campus of South China University of Technology.

However, the installation locations of the monitors are mostly carefully selected.

Apart from some experimental buildings and important facilities on campus, like the surveillance equipment in the male and female dormitory buildings, they are generally installed at the entrances and emergency exits on the first floor.

As for the dormitory building, even the hallway of the boys' dormitory building has no monitors installed in order to protect the students' privacy.

This undoubtedly increases Sun Cheng's difficulty in tracking!

Although Safeguard didn't spend much effort, he was able to retrieve the access recordings of the dormitory building he was in for the past day. However, trying to track down who put the invitation in Sun Cheng's room just by relying on the entrance recordings of the dormitory building is like  searching for a grain of gold in a pile of sand.

"By the way, check South China University of Technology's student management system to see if we can find a list of all the students living in this dormitory building..."

Sun Cheng is not clear about the dormitory allocation criteria of South China University of Technology. He only remembers that he and several others in his dormitory were arranged by their class leader. As for whether the school has made any special statistics, no one can say for sure.

However, this is still a way of investigation, so he gave instructions to Safeguard again.

Human bodies are not like Decepticons after all. Sun Cheng, who hasn't eaten for a long time since last night, feels very hungry.

After a hasty wash in the dormitory, Sun Cheng changed his clothes, brought his wallet and cellphone, and went to the cafeteria.

As soon as he arrived at the nearest No. 4 cafeteria to his dormitory, he unexpectedly saw a familiar figure waiting in line for food, it was none other than Lu Lan.

"Old Lu..."

Sun Cheng was slightly stunned, and it took him a while to remember that the last time he returned to the real world, he had agreed to repay Lu Lan's money. It's just that he got involved with Xiao Hong's gang that night, and he didn't know if Lu Lan came to find him.

"Fortunately, I brought my wallet..."

He remembered the repayment when he withdrew money last time. He took some cash from the bank to repay Lu Lan's debt. Now that he saw him, Sun Cheng smiled and walked over, lightly tapping his shoulder as he was lowly fiddling with his cellphone, "Old Lu, let's go get some food?"

With a tap on his shoulder, Lu Lan shook subconsciously, quickly looked up and only then noticed Sun Cheng.

"Ah Cheng..." He quickly put his cellphone away, nodded and said, "Yes, just finished class, and my stomach is empty..."

"Let's go, don't wait in line..."

Sun Cheng pulled him up and out of the queue, "Let's eat outside. I'll treat you and pay back the money..."

The relationships during university are relatively simple. There are indeed some petty and cunning people, but compared to the majority, most people are relatively simple. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to borrow tens of thousands of yuan from classmates with just his position as a class leader.

When Lu Lan heard that he was going to repay the money, a smile appeared on his face. He patted his chest lightly and said, "Okay, with graduation around the corner, there won't be many days left to hang out with you, the future big boss!"

Sun Cheng smiled slightly. The two of them walked out of the school gate and came to the nearest snack street near the school. They randomly picked a small restaurant with private rooms, ordered two cold dishes, two vegetarian dishes, three meat dishes, and a plate of several vegetables. They also had the boss bring a box of beer.

"We've ordered too much, too much. Just the two of us can't finish it. It's too wasteful..."

Lu Lan's family background is average. If it weren't for him saving face as his class leader, he probably wouldn't have lent him money. Although two thousand yuan is not much, it must have been saved by him through frugality and hard work.

Sun Cheng smiled, "It's okay, I haven't had breakfast yet and I'm hungry now!"

Perhaps there weren't many people eating in the restaurant at this time, so the owner quickly cooked three or four dishes and brought them over.

Sun Cheng took the initiative to open a bottle of beer and handed it to him. After pouring himself a full glass, he raised it and lightly clinked glasses with him. "Lao Lu, I really have to thank everyone from before. At that time, my mind was full of entrepreneurship, but my thoughts and preparations were insufficient, and I suffered a lot. Thanks to your support, I didn't fall!"

"Haha..." Lu Lan drank the beer in one gulp and wiped his mouth. "If you haven't seen a pig run, you wouldn't know what pork tastes like. Entrepreneurship is not that simple, everyone knows that!"

This was indeed true. After all, South China University of Technology was one of the top universities in China. Every year, countless students who graduated from the university tried to start their own businesses, but how many of them succeeded? Not many!

Most of them either gave up and became employees, or turned to become civil servants.

Entrepreneurship is not something that can be achieved with just technical skills.

Timing, location, and people are all important. If one is missing, it would be like a meteor or a path full of thorns. If none of the three are present, it would probably be like him before, where the project would die in the womb!

They raised their glasses and quickly drank a bottle of beer.

Sun Cheng's alcohol tolerance was not good, and he drank on an empty stomach, so he began to feel a little drunk and dizzy.

Not wanting to forget things when drunk, while still somewhat sober, Sun Cheng took out his wallet and counted the money. He also took out an extra five hundred and handed it directly to Lu Lan. "Lao Lu, I won't say anything extra, just take the money..."

Lu Lan also didn't refuse and put it directly into his pocket. He was a little surprised and asked, "You didn't explain clearly yesterday. What's the situation with your project recently? You haven't been to the class for the past half month, and Liu Kun said that the project has failed..."

"Liu Kun..."

He reminded Sun Cheng, who had almost forgotten to settle accounts with him.

Sun Cheng's eyes flickered and he shook his head. "It's nothing. I was too busy looking for investments before and didn't pay much attention to the development side. As a result, some people were greedy and others were busy causing problems, which almost caused the project to fail. However, it's good that they're gone. I'll go back and revise the previous plan, and then I'll get a new investment to start a big fight!"

He didn't mention Liu Kun, but he almost caused Sun Cheng to suffer. With the sudden death of Xiao Hong and the mysterious invitation letter that appeared, he almost forgot about Liu Kun.

Now that Lu Lan reminded him, Sun Cheng couldn't afford to make the same mistake again. While chatting with him, he was already thinking about how to deal with his former roommate.

With something on his mind and his poor alcohol tolerance, he didn't have the same momentum as before and began to eat his food faster.

The meal took almost an hour, and Sun Cheng, who was probably starving, ordered quite a few dishes and didn't waste any of them. Most of it went into his stomach.

Lu Lan, on the other hand, had no time to waste. Although he had no classes in the afternoon, he was preparing to go to the library for the upcoming graduation exam. So, after chatting for a while, he got up and said goodbye.

Sun Cheng didn't try to keep him, but before he left, he entrusted him, "By the way, Lao Lu, I may be too busy recently. There are a few classmates in our class who borrowed money from me. Can you tell them for me that I will pay them back through online red envelopes from XiongmaoOO in the next few days?"

"Okay, I'll take care of it. I'll tell them in a bit!"

After Lu Lan agreed, he quickly left. Sun Cheng didn't stay any longer and quickly paid the bill. He walked out of the small shop and hailed a taxi. He was planning to move out and rent a house outside.
