The reporters were all thinking the same thing.
They all believed that Tianmu Group had developed into a top-tier company in just two short years.
They were sure Lin Xuan had poured a great deal of effort into the company.
The time he spent on the company must have been immense.
Especially since Lin Xuan was also updating his novel.
Writing a novel also requires a lot of dedication.
"So, student Lin Xuan, could you tell us what the secret is to developing your company so successfully in just two years? Could you share it with everyone?"
Lei Hui pricked up his ears.
He wanted to hear how the boss would answer.
But he guessed it would be another one of those perfunctory responses that people use to brush others off.
Lin Xuan replied, "It's mainly about diligence, spending more time on managing the company. Secondly, it's about finding the right direction for the company's development. Even a pig can fly if it's standing in the wind, right?"
Lei Hui rolled his eyes repeatedly.
Just as he thought, the boss was giving perfunctory answers.
"And another point is to cultivate a group of trustworthy subordinates. The most important qualities in these subordinates are loyalty and good character, followed by talent and ability."
Lei Hui nodded.
That part wasn't wrong.
Their company hired people based on exactly that criteria.
No matter how outstanding someone was, if their character was poor, they wouldn't be hired.
Lin Xuan continued answering the reporters' questions.
The Principal sat in his office, waiting for news from his secretary.
Finally, the secretary called.
"Principal, student Lin Xuan has come to the university."
The Principal abruptly stood up from his office chair.
"Where is he now? I'll go find him immediately."
Lin Xuan came to the university far too rarely.
When he did come, the Principal might be away on a business trip.
Now that he had finally caught Lin Xuan, he couldn't let him slip away.
The secretary answered, "Student Lin Xuan is currently being interviewed by reporters at the university gate."
"Good, I understand." The Principal nodded. He was about to hang up when he thought of something and put the phone back to his ear.
"Continue keeping an eye on student Lin Xuan for me. Don't lose track of him."
"Yes," the secretary replied respectfully.
The Principal left his office with vigorous, swift strides.
He even ran across the campus, disregarding his image.
The students stared, dumbfounded.
"Is that our Principal?"
"It seems to be him..."
Their faces showed disbelief.
The Principal usually appeared very serious and unsmiling.
To think he would one day disregard his image like this; he looked like he was rushing to be reborn...
"What do you think the Principal is in such a hurry to do?"
"No idea."
Their curious gaze followed the Principal's figure until they saw him arrive at the gate, squeezing into the crowd of interviewing reporters.
Then he stood in front of Lin Xuan.
The two students had a sudden realization.
So he was looking for Lin Xuan.
No wonder.
But then again, only student Lin Xuan could make the Principal act like a different person.
The Principal addressed the reporters, "Everyone, my apologies. Student Lin Xuan has other arrangements now and doesn't have time for further interviews. I hope you can come back another day."
Lin Xuan also didn't want to deal with these reporters.
He didn't refute the Principal.
The reporters who came for the interview were from relatively major media outlets.
They cared about face.
Hearing the Principal say this, they also felt embarrassed to continue the interview.
They made way.
Lin Xuan walked through the crowd and left with the Principal.
The female students were all acting like infatuated girls.
“Lin Xuan is so handsome, and his eyes seem to carry an electric charge. When his gaze swept over, my heart pounded thump-thump-thump, really fast, like I had heart disease.”
"I've decided. I'm switching idols! I'll only stan Lin Xuan. As for those entertainment industry celebrities, to hell with them."
She originally thought her idol was very handsome.
But compared with Lin Xuan's stunning looks, she felt she could no longer appreciate her idol.
Among them, a girl noticed the kiss mark on Lin Xuan's neck.
Her eyes widened, and she pointed at Lin Xuan's neck, saying, "Did you see that? Lin Xuan has a hickey on his neck! Oh no, could my idol already be taken?"
Was she experiencing heartbreak before even falling in love?
She could hear the sound of her heart breaking.
A graduate student who had been studying at Shangqing University for some time spoke up, "That's right, Lin Xuan has a girlfriend. They're very affectionate."
That student muttered, "Having a girlfriend doesn't mean they won't break up. I still have a chance."
The Shangqing University student glanced at her. "That's a terrible thought. When you find out who Lin Xuan's girlfriend is, you'll probably want to avoid her."
Lin Xuan's girlfriend is Boss Su. Someone like Boss Su is not someone ordinary people like us can afford to provoke.
The female student simply does not believe her words at all.
Who was the woman trying to scare by sneaking away?
She must also be a woman who has a crush on Lin Xuan, saying this intentionally to reduce the number of rivals in love.
Yes!
That must be it!
“Okay, I get it,” she said impatiently.
The Shangqing University student shook her head.
She doesn't believe it now, but she'll be slapped in the face later.
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan followed the Principal to his office.
"Student Lin Xuan, you must be thirsty. Here, have some tea."
The Principal smiled and poured Lin Xuan a cup of tea.
"Principal, go ahead, tell me what you want from me." Lin Xuan always felt the Principal had ulterior motives.
The way he looked at him was very similar to how Lei Hui looked at him.
The Principal definitely had something to ask of him.
"Then I won't waste words," the Principal said.
"It's like this: research projects are very important for a university's development. So, student Lin Xuan, would you consider participating in some?"
"Boss Su owns 70% of Shangqing University's shares. If you could help advance the university's research projects, it would be very beneficial for Boss Su."
As for the remaining thirty percent of shares,
he didn't know who held them.
After saying this,
The Principal leisurely picked up his tea and took a sip.
Student Lin Xuan cared most about Boss Su.
Things beneficial to Boss Su, he thought, student Lin Xuan would not refuse.
Now he just waited for student Lin Xuan to nod in agreement.
Lin Xuan frowned.
Research projects are indeed very important for a university.
If Shangqing University could achieve more successes in research projects,
becoming one of the top international universities wouldn't be a problem.
Also, Tianmu Group and Su Corporation desperately needed talent.
Nurturing Shangqing University could also nurture talents for Tianmu Group and Su Corporation.
Lin Xuan nodded and said, "Alright, I agree."
The Principal's eyes lit up.
He secretly cheered "Yay" in his heart.
Indeed, indeed.
Bringing up Boss Su worked like a charm.
When facing student Lin Xuan, he brought up Boss Su.
When facing Boss Su, he brought up student Lin Xuan.
It was simply too perfect, simply too perfect.
The Principal immediately took out a thick stack of documents.
"Lin Xuan, these are all the research projects currently underway at our school, along with their descriptions. Take a look and see if there's anything you'd like to work on. You can choose freely."

Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?"

Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
