Keeping a Low Profile

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."
