Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yu Tian stepped out of the elevator and headed for the parking lot. Suddenly, he paused in his tracks.

He was thinking if he should bring Xiao Yun along since she had just graduated recently and knew the professors well.

Perhaps she would be more persuasive than him.

If his plan failed, then he could take advantage of the young lady’s connections.

With that being said, Yu Tian quickly made a phone call to Xiao Yun.

He waited for a while in the car before he saw her running out of the elevator while carrying a small purse.

“Xiao Yun, over here!”

He quickly winded down the window and waved his hands.

The young woman was panting when she got into the car.

Yu Tian stepped on the accelerator before she could even readjust her sitting position.

The car sped straight out of the underground parking lot like an arrow.

Xiao Yun shrieked at the sudden acceleration.

“President Yu, please slow down!”

Her eyes widened and she clutched the safety handle with her tiny hands.

“Don’t worry, my driving skills are great. Just relax.”

He smiled at the young lady.

Xiao Yun noticed that Yu Tian was skillfully overtaking one car after another. Every second, the speed of the car increased.

Her poor heart was pounding loudly beneath her skin as if it was going to explode at any second.

“Pre… President Yu, where… Where are you… Taking me?”

The young lady stuttered.

Yu Tian decided not to scare her anymore and decreased his speed.

“We’re revisiting the campus. I bet you haven’t returned since graduation.”

Upon hearing that, Xiao Yun became relaxed. She placed a hand over her chest and rolled her eyes.

“Yup, I haven’t been back ever since I’ve graduated.”

“Perfect. Let’s relieve our campus experience.”

Xiao Yun cocked her head to look at Yu Tian’s handsome side profile. For some reason, she thought that he was acting quite differently today. Yet, she could not pinpoint exactly what it was.

“My dear President Yu, the company is about to be swallowed by the abyss. However, you’re thinking of revisiting the alma mater! I could say that you’re calm or unbothered!”

Yu Tian chuckled and waved his hand dismissively.

“I’m just mysterious!”

…

The university did not really change. Only the faces that showed up at each corner of the campus were different.

Yu Tian felt that the world around him had transitioned so much. However, he did not have time to be philosophical.

“Xiao Yun, do you know anyone from the computer science department?”

The young woman thought for a moment and said, “I do. His name is He Tianyu and he’s the head of the software engineering department.”

Yu Tian was elated and snapped his fingers. Luck was on his side.

“Let’s go and meet him! Our success today depends on you!”

Xiao Yun looked at him with a perplexed expression.

“Shouldn’t we visit the lecturers from our department? Why are we looking for the head of the software engineering department?”

A few seconds after posing the question, she figured out the answer.

Her jaw dropped as she stared at the young man. She was completely shocked.

“You’re undermining the foundation of socialism?!”

Yu Tian gave a dry cough.

“No, I’m simply providing a better employment environment for our juniors!”

“Pooh, I don’t believe you!”

She criticized him.

Yu Tian looked up at the sky, speechless. This young lady was looking down on him!

The two of them joked along the way to the software engineer department head’s office.

Xiao Yun was quite reluctant, but she had no choice and knocked on the door. Someone replied, granting them permission to step inside.

The young woman smiled.

“Hi, Mr. He.”

He Tianyu beamed upon seeing her.

“It’s you! Why did you come to see me? Don’t you have to work? Come on in. Have a seat. Also, who is this young man?”

He shifted his gaze to Yu Tian, who was standing next to the young woman.

Xiao Yun immediately pushed Yu Tian to the front.

“Mr. He, this is Yu Tian, the president of Xinghe Technology. He’s also a fellow alumni from this university.”

“Yu Tian? Yu Tian! Ah, we finally met! I remember that there was a popular student on our campus about two years ago. Is it him?”

“You’re right. That’s me.”

Yu Tian smiled.

The professor pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and spoke in an interrogative tone, “Spill it! What’s the purpose of you being here today?”

Tianyu was no fool. There had to be a reason why two former students outside of his department were visiting.

Something fishy must be going on.

Yu Tian decided to be frank since the other person had spoken in a straightforward manner.

“Mr. He, I’m here to inform you that Xinghe Technology is currently hiring computer science graduates. I was hoping that you could recommend some of your top-performing students. Of course, Xinghe Technology guarantees that they’ll receive the highest pay and obtain the best benefits in the market.”

Tianyu looked at the young man in silence.

Finally, he said, “Tell me your real intention! I’ll have to show you to the door if you keep beating around the bush!”

Yu Tian was shocked. Indeed, experience comes with age!

“I really can’t hide anything from you!”

He tried flattering the professor. After all, he had to go all out for the company.

Tianyu waved his hands.

“Little boy, flattery is not going to work on me!”

“Then I’ll just have to tell you the truth! The thing is, Xinghe Technology is facing some serious problems. We have a collaboration with Madripoor…”

Yu Tian told the full story without hiding anything.

“Therefore, I’d like to request the experienced professors from our alma mater to help. Needless to say, I’ll return the favor generously.”

Tianyu was initially infuriated after hearing that Madripoor was purposely concealing data.

However, his face fell when the young man requested the professors’ help.

“Dream on! How dare you try to use the professors this way! I can’t believe you have the cheek to think about something like this and even say it aloud!”

Tianyu shouted while pointing a finger at the young man.

“Mr. He, you misunderstood me. I’m not asking the experienced professors to help me regain my financial losses. If this project comes to fruition, our country will advance significantly.”

Yu Tian quickly explained. He did not want to leave empty-headed.

“There’s no point in trying to sound dignified. Our experienced professors are all in academia. Why would you hire people if not for profit? You even mentioned the highest pay and best benefits in the market!”

Tianyu chided without thinking about the young man’s feelings.

Yu Tian did not argue back. He considered things from the professor’s perspective and understood where the latter was coming from.

If this project did not have the potential to generate loads of money, Xinghe Technology would not have accepted the partnership in the first place.

Xiao Yun quickly stepped forward to mediate the tense atmosphere.

“Mr. He, you’ve really misunderstood President Yu. He has already forked out 10 billion yuan for the penalty fees to pull out from this project. He’s doing it so that the technology will remain in the hands of our people.”

Tianyu looked slightly less angry upon hearing that.

“Young girl, you better not be working with this little boy to trick me!”

The suspicion was still evident in his tone.

Xiao Yun and Yu Tian exchanged looks.

“I swear that I’m telling the truth. We also chose to work with the experienced professors from our alma mater for the benefits of the university.”

For the benefits of the university?

Tianyu looked at Yu Tian and Xiao Yun with a strange expression..
