Chapter 235: I Want to Be a Conscientious Entrepreneur!

Upon hearing this, Shen Fei fell silent. Facing so many teachers, he had no intention of showing off.

He was completely unaware that the popularity of the Scar Healing Cream had even spread to his school! Being praised in person by so many teachers was a first for Shen Fei.

As all the teachers’ eyes fell on him, Shen Fei felt unsure how to react.

Should he hide the truth?

Or tell them honestly?

After a brief moment of thought, Shen Fei chose the latter.

The truth can’t stay hidden forever. Even if he lied now, sooner or later, his teachers would find out.

“Ahem… teachers, the company producing the Scar Healing Cream, Xinyue Group, is mine,” Shen Fei said, clearing his throat and turning his head slightly, feeling a little unnatural.

“Xinyue Group? What’s that?” Deng Jianming asked with a frown, clearly confused.

Unlike Deng Jianming, who knew nothing about the company, the other teachers’ eyes widened in disbelief.

“Shen Fei, you’re not joking with us, are you?”

“The Scar Healing Cream is really your creation?”

“Come on, Shen Fei, don’t tease us like that!”

Their shock-filled reactions left Deng Jianming completely puzzled.

“What’s wrong with you all? Is Xinyue Group that impressive?” Deng Jianming asked blankly.

“Old Deng, are you really this clueless? The Scar Healing Cream is Xinyue Group’s product!” Lin Qingyu exclaimed.

As soon as she said this, Deng Jianming froze, his eyes wide in disbelief.

The nationally trending product… was from Shen Fei’s company? He was the patent owner of the Scar Healing Cream?

“Teachers, please don’t look at me like that!” Shen Fei said helplessly. “I know it sounds unbelievable at first, but I’m not lying! The Scar Healing Cream is indeed our product, and Xinyue Group is my company.”

Pausing for a moment, Shen Fei recalled their earlier mention of hunger marketing and quickly explained,

“The reason the Scar Healing Cream is sold in limited quantities every day is because our factory is too small right now, and we can’t keep up with production. So we had no choice but to limit sales! But don’t worry—you can get some from me as a gift.”

Hearing this, the teachers finally snapped out of their shock.

“Wow, Shen Fei, so the Scar Healing Cream really belongs to you? I heard that its founder was rumored to be a girl!” Dai Minhong exclaimed in surprise.

“Well, she counts as a founder too!” Shen Fei admitted sheepishly. “Because, ahem, she’s my wife!”

At this, the teachers exchanged stunned glances, speechless for a moment.

Now that the Scar Healing Cream was as popular as it was, its effectiveness had garnered praise from experts nationwide. Many had even predicted that the product’s annual net profits could reach billions if managed properly.

And yet, the genius behind it was Shen Fei—the very student sitting humbly before them!

“Shen Fei, what were you thinking when you first came up with it?” Niu Dawei asked, still suppressing his astonishment.

Shen Fei had already prepared for this moment. He calmly recounted the story of how he conceived the idea for the Scar Healing Cream and how it was eventually developed, sharing everything he could while avoiding unnecessary details.

The teachers listened intently, their expressions shifting from disbelief to admiration.

“Shen Fei, I always knew you’d achieve great things! We’re so proud of you!” Deng Jianming said emotionally.

The other teachers chimed in:

“We’re all proud of you too, Shen Fei!”

“None of this would have been possible without your support,” Shen Fei said gratefully. “If you hadn’t secretly paid my tuition back then, I wouldn’t be where I am today!”

Hearing this, the teachers grew emotional.

“Don’t say that, kid. We just helped a little—you’re where you are because of your own efforts,” Deng Jianming replied with a smile.

Suddenly, his expression turned serious.

“Shen Fei, with how popular the Scar Healing Cream is, your company will soon go public. When that happens, will you increase the price by several times?”

Shen Fei understood his teacher’s concern immediately.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Deng. Whether the company goes public or not, the price of the Scar Healing Cream will not change. I want to be a conscientious entrepreneur!”

“So you set the price based on what’s affordable for the average person?” Lin Qingyu asked.

“That’s right!” Shen Fei nodded. “Having lived through tough times, I know how hard life can be for ordinary families. I’m also aware that, given how effective the Scar Healing Cream is, even if we priced it at thousands, many people would still buy it. But that’s not what I want! I want everyone to be able to use it.”

After a pause, Shen Fei smiled and added,

“Of course, as times change, prices of goods will naturally go up. If that happens, we’ll make slight adjustments to the price according to the market—but nothing too extreme. After all, a business can’t lose money, or what’s the point of running it, right?”

Hearing this, the teachers nodded approvingly.

“It’s good to hear you think this way, Shen Fei. We’re all truly proud of you,” Deng Jianming said sincerely.

Seeing their once-student now a successful entrepreneur, the teachers couldn’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of pride.

As the conversation continued, the atmosphere grew even more lively. Despite Shen Fei’s newfound success and wealth, the teachers treated him no differently. To them, no matter how successful Shen Fei became, he would always be their student.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps echoed outside.

The door was knocked on urgently.

“Old Deng! Oh, Old Liu, Old Niu, and Xiao Hong—everyone’s here! Perfect!” a young teacher burst in, panting.

“What’s wrong, Xiao Xu?” Deng Jianming asked, standing up.

“What else? Those thugs are back at the school again! This time, there are even more of them! The kids have stopped attending class and are confronting them at the gate. The school can’t handle this, so we teachers have to step in and make sure the kids stay safe!”

“Damn it, those bastards again!” Liu Hao cursed angrily.

“Yeah! They’re shameless!” Xiao Xu agreed.

“Xiao Xu, you go ahead first! No matter what, we have to ensure the students’ safety!” Deng Jianming said firmly.

Xiao Xu nodded and left quickly.

Seeing the commotion, Shen Fei asked in confusion,

“Mr. Deng, what’s going on?”
