I met my whole family through Baidu Tieba.

After the group got to know each other and exchanged pleasantries, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

Song Zhengping came here specifically to see Shen Kang, and now he has indeed run into Shen Kang by chance. However, he did not expect that Shen Kang had other guests and was currently entertaining them.

Logically, since he "bumped into it by chance while strolling around campus," he should have left after encountering this situation. But if he really left, wouldn't his trip have been for nothing?

Shi Qingxiang had come to track down Song Zhengping, so he didn't care at the moment: if Song Zhengping started chatting with Shen Kang, he would definitely stick around and interfere. But in the current situation, it would be even better if Song Zhengping couldn't chat with Shen Kang.

Deng Shicheng's situation was also quite delicate: he was a "regular customer" and was being received when a "new customer" came to his door, and the preliminary matters for his interview had not yet been discussed.

Qian Ming'en was also secretly pondering how to arrange these two groups of people.

With the four of them having such different thoughts, the result was that they exchanged pleasantries and talked nonsense.

Song Zhengping also introduced Jiang Zhuojie, "...President Shen, this is Jiang Zhuojie, my nephew, and also a student at your school. Didn't your school recently hold a competition for the top ten campus singers? A-Jie even made it to the finals."

Shen Kang looked at Jiang Zhuojie with a kind smile.

"That's amazing, Senior Jiang! I'll definitely go watch the finals when I have time and cheer him on."

"Mr. Shen, you didn't attend?"

"I know my own limitations. My voice is terrible, I'm tone-deaf, so I won't go up there and embarrass myself."

Jiang Zhuojie remained silent, feeling somewhat annoyed.

The scene gave him the feeling that it was during the Chinese New Year, when his parents took him to meet their elders and showed off how great he, their "son," was at school.

He hated this kind of thing to begin with, let alone now that this "elder" was someone even younger than him, and a boy at that.

Fortunately, someone rescued him.

Seeing that Song Zhengping had brought up the child for casual conversation, Deng Shicheng took the initiative to speak up: "President Shen, I just need to do some preliminary sampling at your school, so I'll be going now. I'll contact you again when I'm done."

He had been pondering this for a while and hadn't made a decision yet.

Now that this has happened, it's a good opportunity to have Shen Kang accompany these two bank employees first, so he can have more time to think things through carefully.

As for how Shen Kang was addressed, the change from "Student Shen" to "General Manager Shen" was also influenced by these two bank employees.

Upon hearing this, Qian Ming'en immediately chimed in, saying that he would go with Deng Shicheng, since Deng Shicheng was unfamiliar with Yang University of Science and Technology and it would be more convenient for him, a native of Yang University of Science and Technology, to be there.

Upon hearing this, Shen Kang naturally had no objections.

Then, he smiled at Shi Qingxiang and said, "Director Shi, it's kind of you to have the leisure to come to the university and relive your college days. But you're not familiar with our school, so how about I act as your guide?"

Shi Qingxiang chuckled, "That would be great..."

While the two were talking, Song Zhengping was also talking to Jiang Zhuojie: "Ah Jie, you're going to participate in the finals, you must still have rehearsals, right?"

Jiang Zhuojie felt warm inside as he felt Uncle Song's concern. "It's time for rehearsal."

"It's really taking up your time to come and keep me company."

"It won't delay you, Uncle Song."

"It caused a delay."...

After saying a few more words, seeing that Jiang Zhuojie still didn't understand his meaning and was just getting emotional, Song Zhengping had no choice but to say directly, "It just so happens that we ran into President Shen. He's quite free, so let him be the guide. A-Jie, you should hurry back to rehearsals. Your important matter of being one of the top ten singers on campus is more important. Otherwise, if your father finds out that I've delayed his son's important matter, he'll probably try to steal a few more bottles of wine from me."

Even if Jiang Zhuojie was slow to understand, he would realize Song Zhengping's true meaning after hearing this.

This means they've got a new person and don't want the old one anymore.

Jiang Zhuojie was quite sentimental. At this moment, he seemed to feel the setting sun, a heartbroken wanderer at the ends of the earth, under a withered old tree, playing the erhu, his voice mournful and plaintive...

At this moment, after Shen Kang finished speaking with Shi Qingxiang, he also started talking to Song Zhengping.

Song Zhengping then brought up Jiang Zhuojie's matter: "...Ah Jie still has important matters to attend to at the Campus Top Ten Singers Competition, so why don't we trouble President Shen to act as my mentor as well, so that Ah Jie can go and take care of his important matters?"

Shen Kang nodded in agreement: "The campus's top ten singers competition is indeed an important matter. So, I, this idle person with nothing to do, will be Song Xing's mentor."

After saying hello to Deng Shicheng, Qian Mingen, and Guo Pinyan, he led Song Zhengping and Shi Qingxiang on a tour of the campus, taking on the role of a tour guide.

He didn't greet Qin Zhen at all from beginning to end. This was mainly because Qin Zhen's behavior in front of the cold drink shop that day gave him the feeling that "you lowly man actually think I like you and I can't be bothered with you." Shen Kang naturally followed suit and pretended not to know her.

After Shen Kang and the others left, Qian Ming'en asked Deng Shicheng, "Director Deng, should we sit for a while longer, or go straight to collect samples?"

Sampling was just an excuse. After thinking for a moment, Deng Shicheng said, "Let's sit down for a while. We haven't finished our coffee yet, it's such a waste."

So the two of them went back to the private room in the coffee shop.

Jiang Zhuojie remained standing there, his mind filled with the mournful and self-pitying strains of the erhu, and he didn't move for a moment.

Qin Zhen looked in the direction Shen Kang and the others had left.

She had come hoping to bump into Shen Kang, and although they did, she didn't take the initiative to greet him. Shen Kang was busy with important business, dealing with people of high rank like bank presidents, directors, TV producers, and vice presidents. If she were to force herself on him at that moment, it would seem rather rude.

So she was very sensible and didn't force herself on him.

Although it was a bit of a shame that this chance encounter seemed to have failed again, it didn't matter. She still saw a new side of Shen Kangxin, which was truly dazzling.

Just now, her heart was pounding so hard she hadn't calmed down yet.

Until a loud shout came from next door from Zhu Jingdong.

"Qin, your milk tea is ready!"

Qin Zhen finally came to her senses and said irritably, "I know!" Then she went back to Yan Yu Cha Ji to get her milk tea.

After everyone had left, Guo Pinyan returned to the coffee shop to continue with his work.

Inside the private room, after the two sat down, Deng Shicheng asked Qian Ming'en, "Dean Qian, this student Shen from your school seems to know quite a lot of people. He knows the director of the Construction Bank and the branch manager of Yangcheng Bank."

Qian Ming'en understood Deng Shicheng's meaning and said, "I reckon it's related to another of Shen Kang's businesses."

Deng Shicheng replied: "Another industry?"

Qian Ming'en nodded. "Yes. Besides these things at school, Shen Kang also runs a company in Yangcheng called Anjia Housekeeping. Does Director Deng know about it?"

Deng Shicheng was startled. "Of course I know. You mean Anjia Housekeeping is also owned by this student Shen?"

"Yes."

After receiving Qian Ming'en's affirmative answer, Deng Shicheng remained silent for a moment, lost in thought.

It was already surprising that a freshman who had only been in college for a few months could have caused so much trouble. But what was even more unexpected was that Anjia Housekeeping was also run by Shen Kang. This was a huge surprise to Deng Shicheng.

After learning about this, it's understandable why the two bank employees came to find Shen Kang. They probably had some business to discuss with Anjia Housekeeping... probably a loan.

"People's Focus" is also a news program, and Deng Shicheng pays close attention to all kinds of news, so he naturally knows about the four trillion yuan plan and related matters.

Under the four trillion yuan stimulus plan, these banks now have heavy lending targets, and it is very likely that people wanting to settle down and use their loans will borrow money from these banks.

Deng Shicheng quickly came to the above guess.

However, while Anjia Housekeeping has risen rapidly in Yangcheng and its reputation is growing, surely it wouldn't warrant a director from a construction bank and a branch manager from a Yangcheng bank both coming to their door at the same time? ...

After thinking for a moment, Deng Shicheng asked, "Dean Qian, what do Shen Kang's parents do?"

Qian Ming'en pondered for a moment, then chuckled and said, "I don't know much about that."

Old Xiao is Shen Kang's stepfather and also a son-in-law who lives with his wife's family. Shen Kang's family situation is quite complicated. If Director Deng knew, who knows how the TV station would portray it? Old Xiao is also one of our own, so it's best not to cause any trouble and just pretend we don't know anything.

Deng Shicheng thought to himself, "If you didn't know, would you have even thought about it? Clearly, you didn't want to say, or perhaps you found it difficult to say. It seems this student Shen is indeed more than just an ordinary college student..."

Qian Ming'en didn't want Deng Shicheng to continue asking about this issue, so he took the initiative to change the subject: "Director Deng, Shen Kang was just talking about his second-hand website, and it reminded me of something else."

Deng Shicheng's thoughts were also interrupted by him: "Oh? What is it?"

Qian Mingen said, "Shen Kang has also created a special charity section on his second-hand website, in cooperation with a charity organization of Minzu University. Students can donate their unwanted second-hand items to vulnerable groups in society, such as the elderly living alone and children in welfare homes, in this charity section."

Public welfare?

Deng Shicheng became interested.

The two of them left the private room and used the coffee shop's computer, where they found the charity section on the internet.

In Deng Shicheng's mind, the image of Shen Kang became increasingly vivid:

Her family background is mysterious, suggesting she has a powerful connections. She is also very capable, having built numerous businesses on her own. Furthermore, she has a strong sense of social responsibility, not only helping schools provide work-study opportunities for impoverished students but also using her entrepreneurial projects for charitable causes.

Deng Shicheng increasingly felt that what Shen Kang had just said was not just empty talk.

……

As Deng Shicheng and Qian Ming'en continued to chat about Shen Kang in the coffee shop, Deng Shicheng learned more and more about Shen Kang.

Shen Kang had already led Song Zhengping and Shi Qingxiang all the way to the vicinity of the entrepreneurial base.
