Ten thousand meters in the air, inside the first-class cabin of a Boeing 777 flying to Jiangcheng.
In the spacious and private first-class suite, Ke Yujia was like a lazy Persian cat, her soft body nestled snugly in Su Bai's broad and sturdy embrace.
After days of crazy special training in the northern snowy mountains, this childhood friend with S-class dance flexibility had been pushed to her absolute limits by Su Bai. Right now, wearing a soft, pure cotton loungewear set, she used her fair little hands to peel a crystal-clear grape, offering it obediently to Su Bai's lips.
"Brother Su Bai, have a grape."
Su Bai took a bite and took the opportunity to peck her tender lips, drawing a shy, soft gasp from Ke Yujia.
Looking through the window at the gradually clearing outline of Jiangcheng below, a hint of thought flashed through Su Bai's deep eyes.
The acquisition of that massive ski resort in the north and its surrounding land had been fully handed over to the legal and financial teams of White Night Holdings to wrap up.
Counting the previous Shengxi Technology, Bangbang Technology, Galaxy Dance Troupe, and First-Gen Maternal and Infant Company, the business empire under his name was expanding at a staggering, frantic pace.
"School is starting..."
Su Bai's slender fingers gently tapped the armrest of the leather seat.
As his businesses grew larger, he increasingly felt that relying solely on the current team of professional managers at White Night Holdings was no longer enough.
He needed an exclusive business think tank that truly belonged to him, was absolutely loyal, and answered only to him.
This team not only needed to flawlessly execute his acquisition plans but also manage those complicated daily business operations for him, freeing up more of his time to enjoy the indulgent life of a supreme tycoon.
And Jiangcheng University, a top-tier 985 institution ranked in the top ten nationwide, was undoubtedly the best treasure trove of talent.
"It's just, how can I legitimately and efficiently recruit the most elite talents of Jiangcheng University under my command?" Su Bai calculated inwardly.
A few hours later, Su Bai dropped Ke Yujia off at the East Lake Private Club. He then drove his flashy Porsche Panamera, its engine roaring as he entered the campus of Jiangcheng University.
It was the start of the semester, and the campus was full of students dragging their suitcases. A youthful atmosphere rushed to meet him.
Just as Su Bai parked his car in a spot, the phone in his pocket vibrated.
Taking it out, he saw it was a WeChat message from his counselor, Xia Lin.
"Boss Su, finally willing to come back to school after your vacation? Come to my office, I have official business with you. [Playful]"
Looking at the slightly coquettish tone on the screen, a light smirk tugged at the corner of Su Bai's mouth. He stretched his long legs and headed toward the counselor's office.
Knock, knock.
Su Bai pushed open the office door.
Because the semester had just begun, the other counselors had gone to a meeting. Xia Lin was alone in the spacious office.
Today, Xia Lin was wearing an extremely form-fitting black professional suit. Beneath the pencil skirt was a pair of long, slender legs wrapped in ultra-sheer black pantyhose, and she wore a pair of pointed high heels. Her attire perfectly showcased the intellect and charm of a mature woman.
Seeing Su Bai enter, this iceberg-like counselor, who usually maintained a powerful and intimidating presence in front of students, instantly melted like thawing ice. Her eyes were filled with an unyielding tenderness and infatuation.
She didn't even bother closing the door. Stepping quickly in her high heels, she walked right up to Su Bai and naturally adjusted his slightly messy collar. Her movements were as practiced as a little wife waiting for her husband to return home.
"Did you have fun in the north? Judging by your complexion, you didn't hold back on tormenting that poor girl, did you?" Xia Lin looked up, rolling her watery, peach-blossom eyes at him with a barely detectable hint of playful jealousy.
Su Bai dominantly wrapped his arm around her incredibly slender waist, pressing her against the edge of the desk. Looking down at her, he said, "What, is my lady jealous? Do you want me to give you some physical therapy right here in the office?"
Feeling Su Bai's highly aggressive gaze and scorching body heat, Xia Lin's breathing instantly quickened, and two blushes crept onto her exquisite cheeks.
"Stop messing around... This is an office, a student could walk in at any moment..." Xia Lin weakly pushed against Su Bai's chest. The deep-seated sense of submission in her bones made it impossible for her to muster even a shred of resistance.
After a moment of intimacy, Xia Lin finally remembered the business at hand. She quickly adjusted her slightly disheveled top, her expression returning to a more serious state.
"Let's talk business. The reason I called you here today is because the Vice Principal personally reached out to me."
Xia Lin lowered her voice, a hint of unconcealable pride in her tone. "The Vice Principal asked for you by name. He wants to invite you to his office for tea."
"The Vice Principal?" Su Bai raised an eyebrow. "What does he want with me?"
"What else could it be? You're a prominent figure at Jiangcheng University now." A light of admiration flickered in Xia Lin's beautiful eyes. "You fully acquired Shengxi Technology in your freshman year and injected capital into Bangbang Technology. Even though you kept these massive business moves low-key, how could the school's upper management not catch wind of it?"
Xia Lin paused before continuing, "For Jiangcheng University, producing a super tycoon like you, who can stir up the Jiangcheng business world as a mere freshman, is a priceless, living advertisement. The Vice Principal is looking for you this time probably because he wants to make you a role model."
Hearing this, a flash of realization crossed Su Bai's deep eyes.
So that was it.
He had just been worrying about how to poach talent from Jiangcheng University, and the school's upper management had actively handed him a pillow to sleep on.
Ten minutes later, in the Vice Principal's office at the Jiangcheng University administration building.
Just as Su Bai reached the doorway, before he could even knock, the heavy solid wood door was pulled open from the inside.
A middle-aged man with half-white hair, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and exuding a refined aura, personally came out to greet him.
It was none other than the Executive Vice Principal of Jiangcheng University, Liu Dongliang.
"Oh my! Student Su Bai is here! Please, come in, come in!"
Vice Principal Liu's face, which was usually stern and unsmiling in front of the school's faculty and students, was now covered in an extremely amiable, even faintly flattering smile.
He not only personally pulled out a chair for Su Bai, but he also turned and walked to the tea cabinet, taking out a tin of exquisitely packaged tea leaves.
"Come, Student Su Bai, try my premium Da Hong Pao. I pulled a lot of strings to get these leaves from the mother tree. Usually, I can't even bear to look at them too much, but since you're here today, we absolutely must savor it properly!"
Watching the dignified Executive Vice Principal put on such a welcoming, almost sycophantic display, Su Bai found it rather amusing inwardly. On the surface, however, he maintained his unwavering composure, like a mountain that wouldn't flinch even if it were collapsing before him.
He sat down on the leather sofa with utmost naturalness, crossing his legs. His innate aura of a superior being was completely flawless, faintly overpowering this Vice Principal who had spent over half his life navigating the education sector.
"You're too polite, Principal Liu," Su Bai said, taking the teacup and taking a gentle sip. His tone was flat. "Good tea."
Vice Principal Liu looked at the freshman before him, whose powerful aura was almost heart-stopping, and felt a secret tremor of awe.
He had thoroughly investigated Su Bai's background through various channels.
The billion-dollar full acquisition of Shengxi Technology, the tens of millions injected into Bangbang Technology, and the recent mergers of Galaxy Dance Troupe and First-Gen Maternal and Infant Company that were causing a massive stir in the business world...
How was this something a college freshman could pull off? This was simply an epic titan disguised in human skin!
Faced with this kind of super-capitalist who could casually throw around over a billion in cash flow, let alone a vice principal like himself, even the university president would have to treat him with the utmost respect, worshiping him like the God of Wealth!
"Su Bai, my boy, the university has heard all about your business achievements out there."
Vice Principal Liu rubbed his hands, the smile on his face becoming even brighter. "To be honest, in all the years since Jiangcheng University was founded, we have produced countless business elites. But someone like you, who can call the wind and summon the rain in the business world as a mere freshman, is absolutely unprecedented!"
Su Bai set down his teacup, looking at him with a half-smile. "You flatter me, Vice Principal Liu. It's just some minor tinkering."
"This is no minor tinkering!" Vice Principal Liu waved his hand with extreme seriousness. "Su Bai, your success is not only your personal glory, but also the pride of our entire Jiangcheng University!"
After laying the groundwork for quite a while, Vice Principal Liu finally cut to the chase.
He leaned forward slightly, his tone becoming extremely sincere. "Su Bai, it's like this. The school is currently planning a promotional campaign for 'University Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship Pioneers.' We want to invite the professional team from the school's journalism department to do an exclusive interview with you, building you up as the ultimate model of an outstanding student of Jiangcheng University, and promote it across all channels. What do you think?"
Hearing this, a flash of realization passed through Su Bai's eyes.
Xia Lin had hit the nail on the head.
For a top institution like Jiangcheng University, what was the most important thing?
Rankings! Administrative achievements! Reputation! Student enrollment!
If they could turn Su Bai, a self-made billionaire freshman, into a model student, it would be a nuclear-level boost to Jiangcheng University's reputation. When the time came, not only could they attract more high-quality students, but they could also apply for more educational funding and policy support from higher authorities.
This was the school asking him to help them score political points.
However, this was also an excellent opportunity for Su Bai.
With the aura of an outstanding student model officially endorsed by the school, recruiting talent and mobilizing alumni resources at Jiangcheng University would be completely justifiable. He would be given the green light all the way!
"No problem."
Su Bai didn't hesitate at all, nodding and agreeing directly. "Since it's the school's arrangement, as a member of Jiangcheng University, I will naturally fully cooperate with the promotion. The journalism department can come find me anytime."
Hearing Su Bai agree so readily, Vice Principal Liu was so excited he almost jumped up from the sofa.
"Wonderful! Su Bai, your broad-mindedness and vision are truly admirable!"
Vice Principal Liu slapped his thigh in excitement, the wrinkles on his face blooming into a wide smile.
He patted his chest with extreme generosity and directly made a very weighty promise. "Su Bai, rest assured, the school will absolutely not let you work for nothing! In the future, no matter what needs you have on campus, or if the enterprises under your name encounter any difficulties in operation—whether it's policy approval, venue support, or technical research and development—as long as you say the word, the school will absolutely go all out and greenlight everything for you!"
This was the golden promise of the executive vice principal of Jiangcheng University!
With these words, Su Bai could practically do whatever he wanted at the university.
This was exactly what Su Bai had been waiting for.
He smiled slightly, his deep gaze looking directly at Vice Principal Liu, and unhurriedly threw out the real purpose of his trip.
"Principal Liu, since you've said so, I actually do have a presumptuous request."
"Oh? Please speak your mind, Su Bai! As long as the school can do it, we will not hesitate!" Vice Principal Liu immediately sat up straight and pricked up his ears.
"It's like this."
Su Bai gently tapped his fingers on the armrest of the sofa, his tone calm and unhurried. "The businesses under my name have been expanding quite fast recently, and my current business teams are clearly no longer sufficient. I want to recruit some graduating seniors, or outstanding talents among the alumni who are looking to change jobs."

ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
