Professional Venue Setup

After listening to Xue Tao's rant, Su Bai finally understood.

It turned out Xue Tao attributed Su Bai's smooth romantic life to the fact that Chen Yusheng was a good girl who loved studying.

To some extent, there was nothing wrong with that logic. After all, if a girl had her own career and goals, she would spend less energy on causing unnecessary drama and being overly suspicious.

Thinking about it seriously, Su Bai's female confidantes really did all have their own responsibilities to take care of.

In Xue Tao's eyes, although he wasn't as rich as Su Bai, he was still much wealthier than the average student. He had a Magotan in his freshman year... oh wait, he had switched to a Porsche Cayenne now.

Even an old, second-hand Cayenne was still a Cayenne!

If he found a girlfriend with a reliable personality, his quality of life would obviously improve a lot.

"It's decided. I need to find a girl who is willing to go to study hall with me!" Xue Tao said enthusiastically.

W-was he getting ready to change girlfriends just like that?

Wang Haoran was a bit confused watching this. The local guy had recently mentioned waking up early like crazy to work out for Liu Yuanyuan's sake, though no one really understood the logic behind that... But all in all, Wang Haoran felt it would be quite a pity if this couple broke up. After all, whether it was Xue Tao or Liu Yuanyuan, to be honest, they were both pretty eccentric. It was best if they stayed tied to each other.

If they were let loose, wouldn't they just go ruin other people's lives?

Su Bai, however, adhered to the principle of enjoying the drama and fanned the flames: "Exactly. Love is all about following your heart. If it's not working out, just break up."

"Right, right. Sigh, let's just see if there are any opportunities at tomorrow's competition... At the very least, in terms of academic credentials, we're a dimensional strike against the Normal University next door, right?"

There he goes with the dimensional strike again...

Su Bai was a bit speechless. To be honest, he didn't have any prejudice regarding academic degrees. So what if someone went to a second-tier university? Even someone with only a middle school education was great as long as they worked hard and lived earnestly.

It seemed Xue Tao cared a great deal about the prestige of Jiangcheng University's degree.

This didn't seem to be an isolated case. Based on Su Bai's observations of the people around him over the past semester, the more lacking a student was in actual personal ability, the more they cared about the bonus of their academic credentials...

Forget it. It was getting late, so he wouldn't burst the local guy's bubble. Let him have a good dream first.

Su Bai was, for the time being, a merciful person.

...

The next day, early morning.

Su Bai, who usually had trouble sleeping, went for a morning run around the Jiangcheng University startup park for a few laps before heading to the office floor.

He had bought this entire floor.

Therefore, no matter what kind of event they were hosting, they had a high degree of freedom when it came to the layout.

Sparing a section for the department to hold a competition was very simple, and it was also part of his sponsorship.

This kind of sponsorship was just a drop in the bucket, not only for Su Bai who could get cashback from the system, but even for ordinary rich people. It was insignificant in cost, but it did wonders for the company's reputation. By constantly showing up in front of the students, they might just recruit some high-quality talent.

Su Bai didn't expect to recruit a bunch of talent to make money for him. He had little ambition for business. He mainly wanted to help Yusheng select her future subordinates. Students who were passionate about participating in tech competitions were usually more likely to be passionate about scientific research.

It was just like looking for players for a basketball game among those who liked to exercise on the court; at the very least, they would be able to run when they got on the court.

The venue had already been set up yesterday. The department's Science and Technology Association was responsible for the setup. The main purpose of the association's existence was to organize similar events... To be fair, among all the interest-based clubs, they were actually quite competent. After all, many so-called clubs couldn't even set up a simple venue properly.

The Computer Science Department's Science and Technology Association looked very professional. The venue was clean and tidy, with all the necessary equipment and materials readily available. It looked quite proper, almost on par with a professional exhibition team.

Not bad at all.

Standing in the middle of the empty venue, Su Bai felt a bit emotional.

When he first enrolled, after hearing the introductions from the senior members of the association, he had even considered participating in this kind of competition to earn some pocket money. After all, with Su Bai's brains and practical skills, even if he didn't win first place, grabbing some prize money wouldn't have been a problem.

As a result, just a few months later, Su Bai had completely transformed into a wealthy, big-spending, evil capitalist investor. It was truly awesome.

This Indulgence System was truly enjoyable.

[Ding! Detected that the host has sponsored a student scientific innovation competition and successfully attracted an S-class goddess to participate. Rewarding attribute: Brainpower +10]

Huh?

Looking at the prompt popping up from the system, Su Bai's expression became quite colorful.

Could it be that the local guy had actually called it?

Among the students from the neighboring Normal University who came to the competition to take advantage of the perks, there was actually an S-class goddess?

You have to admit, this was indeed quite surreal. Although there were quite a few students from other majors at the Normal University who wanted to transition into the computer science field, since this major currently had various advantages.

However, adding the beauty of an S-class goddess into the mix made it incredibly magical.

It felt extremely rare, sounding even more surreal than Chen Yusheng's existence.

You have to know that there were actually very few beautiful women in this major. How should I put it? If someone were truly beautiful, they would be surrounded by all sorts of temptations growing up. With all those temptations, very few could focus their minds on studying STEM fields.

Those who could calm their minds and focus usually had excellent family upbringing. In other words, they came from pretty good family backgrounds.

But then again, those with good family backgrounds didn't necessarily have to study computer science, endure hardship, and lose their hair over it.

This formed a paradox.

"President Su, you're here so early?"

Just as Su Bai was marveling at this, a rough male voice suddenly came from behind him. He turned his head and saw Boss Du from Bangbang Tech Game Studio.

He looked sleepy-eyed, as if he hadn't been awake for long, and was wearing pajamas.

Before being acquired by Su Bai, Boss Du often slept at the company. It had to be said that his office was quite fully stocked with daily living supplies.

He had obviously slept at the company again.

Not bad, not bad. As expected of an entrepreneurial bro who loved games. Su Bai truly admired this spirit of grinding and working overtime.

If it were him, even if he were making a game he really liked, he wouldn't be able to devote himself so completely.

Su Bai felt that idealists like this should be supported.

After all, Su Bai really enjoyed playing that game.

Even if it didn't trigger cashback, Su Bai would still invest. Of course, getting cashback was the best scenario~

"I was just passing by on my morning run and decided to take a stroll and have a look. Actually, the people from the Science and Technology Association gave me a video report last night. Everything is fine."

"Indeed, your classmates are quite bright. If you ask me, they are much more reliable than many startups doing roadshows." Boss Du followed Su Bai, sizing up the venue with a hungry look on his face. "It would be great if we could recruit a few of them into the company... To be honest, Jiangcheng University students are really quite good."

"For sure."

"The company is actually still a bit short-handed lately."

"If we're short-handed, then just hire people. There's no problem. I have enough budget on my end. As long as you don't hire any particularly unreliable black sheep, I support it," Su Bai stated his position.
