Why Is Su Bai Still So Conspicuous

The so-called domineering CEO.

The core element is the ability to settle things.

In other words, girls hope someone will appear out of nowhere, like a pie falling from the sky, to solve the problems they can't solve themselves.

Of course, a domineering CEO might not always be able to solve the problem, but it's all about that feeling!

That's why there are professional scammers who choose to create an illusion to lure girls in.

But then again, a girl like Liu Yuanyuan wasn't always foolish; she had her moments of clarity.

Simply put, she gradually realized that if she continued to indulge in dressing up and visiting internet-famous spots every day, her situation upon graduation probably wouldn't be very good.

Although Jiangcheng University was a good brand, the current job market competition was far beyond the point where a good school name alone could guarantee success.

Times had changed!

Because of this, she paid special attention to the senior from the outdoors club. After all, this was a shortcut to accessing high-quality employment resources.

The ever-competitive Haji-Yuan ultimately couldn't give up on taking shortcuts.

Moreover, based on her previous experience of stringing Xue Tao along, Liu Yuanyuan deliberately left the senior waiting downstairs for a while before slowly making her way down.

"I'm sorry, Senior. Something suddenly came up with my group project, so I had to finish dealing with it before coming down."

"Aha, no worries, no worries. Business first."

Rolling down the car window and seeing Liu Yuanyuan's appearance, the senior couldn't help but feel a surge of heat in his heart.

Today, Liu Yuanyuan was wearing a preppy outfit and had even deliberately put on a pair of non-prescription glasses, making her look like a refined, scholarly girl next door.

It had to be said, although some girls weren't great at studying and their major courses were a complete mess, they were surprisingly good at putting on an act.

This was human talent. Some people were naturally good at burying their heads in their work, born doers; others were skilled at superficial appearances.

Liu Yuanyuan was obviously not the former... A girl who was good at doing practical things would hardly mix with someone like Xue Tao...

But she knew that the senior preferred career-oriented women. That was precisely why he hung out in the Career Development Association club.

This club could be said to be a window for many outstanding alumni to connect with the school. Whether it was sharing internal referrals or exchanging various industry resources, it was very effective.

Therefore, Liu Yuanyuan dressed herself up to look very intellectual, which indeed made the senior's eyes light up.

As for the slight delay caused by the group project, the senior didn't mind it at all; it even deepened his good impression of Liu Yuanyuan.

"Get in, I'll take you to the restaurant I booked. It's an American steakhouse opened by a senior from my hometown. It's quite popular lately, mostly in tier-one cities, but not very common here in Jiangcheng... By the way, with things like American steak, if you go study abroad, you definitely have to try the authentic local flavors. I need to get used to it early too, since my parents are absolutely insisting that I go abroad for my master's degree..."

As soon as she got in the car, she heard the senior blabbering endlessly.

Just in terms of showing off, the senior wasn't much different from the likes of Xue Tao...

Of course, the content and style of their showing off were vastly different.

"Studying abroad is great. Sigh, but my family's financial situation doesn't really support it," Liu Yuanyuan said, looking distressed. "I really envy you, Senior."

"Ahahaha, no need to envy. I believe you'll definitely be able to get a scholarship when the time comes. Actually, if you have a full scholarship, studying abroad isn't that expensive. Your situation is perfect for aiming for a fully-funded Ph.D...."

What the hell, fully-funded Ph.D....

Liu Yuanyuan was about to faint. Someone like her, doing a Ph.D.? She couldn't even understand her undergraduate classes!

Besides, she was a business major; go abroad for a Ph.D.? Setting aside how hard it would be to get accepted, it was hard to say if it would even help her find a job later.

It would even seriously delay her dating and marriage prospects. How old would she be after finishing a Ph.D.?

This senior indeed had a bit of a workaholic vibe.

That was fine, though. If he wasn't a workaholic, how would he have resources on hand?

In reality, the vast majority of friends made in college were just for casual fun, pure fair-weather friends.

Very, very few could facilitate effective resource exchanges.

Because of this, Liu Yuanyuan was extremely envious of Chen Yusheng. She had clung to Su Bai's coattails, and even the laboratory teachers had to show her some respect. Was this something an ordinary student could achieve?

Along the way, Liu Yuanyuan and the senior had a very engaging conversation.

As long as a girl was willing to pretend, she could actually have an engaging conversation with any guy.

If it was a situation where she had no interest in acting, it was a different story. No matter how you tried to amuse her, her face would be as cold as a thousand-year frost, like some damn ice fairy.

As they chatted, the topic shifted to the currently trending field of artificial intelligence. While waiting at a red light, the senior slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, speaking of which, the new company that moved into the entrepreneurship park this year, White Night, is really capable. Although they can't compare to those big investment banks, because it was started by a rich kid from our school, they are very generous with money. I heard they just hosted a competition, and the feedback from the participants was excellent... If only I could get to know the boss of White Night."

Hearing this, Liu Yuanyuan's expression froze.

Why the hell is Su Bai still showing off!

Liu Yuanyuan naturally knew that White Night was opened by Su Bai; it was basically a rich kid's toy.

The slow-witted Xue Tao didn't even realize it was funded by his own roommate until the competition was over.

One could only say that his senses were naturally a bit dull. Compared to the overly sensitive Shanghai guy, they were indeed two extremes. It could only be said that they were worthy of being sworn enemies, as well as a pair of star-crossed lovers.

Having heard Xue Tao complain about it, Liu Yuanyuan also knew about this matter.

How should she put it? It was just absurd!

Take other rich guys, for example. They played with skiing, mountain climbing, wingsuit flying—all sorts of extreme sports that burned money.

Su Bai didn't seem to fit that style.

Sponsoring competitions and whatnot was just too... It was like those big shots in the Middle Ages who sponsored scientists, giving off quite a retro vibe.

Mentioning this matter made Liu Yuanyuan grit her teeth even more. Actually, at the beginning of this semester, she had considered whether to hook up with Su Bai. After all, Su Bai was tall, strong, and good-looking. But because Su Bai hadn't shown his wealth at the time, Liu Yuanyuan missed the opportunity and ended up with someone like Xue Tao... Sigh!

"What's wrong, Junior? Are you carsick?"

"Ah, it's nothing..."

"Then I'll continue. Sigh, speaking of which, maybe our Career Development Association could also seek a collaboration with the boss of White Night. They probably don't just recruit from the computer science department, right? If they need other majors, I'm sure many seniors and second-year graduate students would be happy to intern or even sign work contracts. Good jobs are so hard to find nowadays!"
