I met my whole family through Baidu Tieba.

While Pang Dehai was saying "I don't understand" and "the advantage is on my side."

Shen Kang had already gotten to know the people in front of him.

These people were all brought by Niu Haisheng. After being introduced, Shen Kang learned that these were the bosses who were attending the industry conference today. However, the two bosses he had met yesterday, Chen Kexu and Xiang Lingdong, were not here.

Besides, isn't Mr. Wei Shengjun being a little too enthusiastic?

Shen Kang clasped his hands with President Wei in front of him, thinking to himself.

The other bosses also noticed Wei Shengjun's gesture of extending both hands to shake hands, and they all seemed to be thinking: What does Lao Wei mean by this?

Although Mr. Shen in front of me is the owner of Anjia Household Services, which has recently been rising rapidly in Yangcheng, we are in different industries and there is no reason for Lao Wei to ask for the other's help. Lao Wei doesn't need to show such courtesy.

Or perhaps, Old Wei knows something they don't? ...

As the group seemed to be deep in thought, Shen Kang and Wei Shengjun shook hands for a long time before finally letting go.

Before Niu Haisheng could speak, Shen Kang introduced them directly: "Gentlemen, let me introduce you first. This is Zeng Jie, a reporter from Yangcheng TV..."

After the TV station and the event organizers were introduced, Niu Haisheng and his team didn't need to be introduced anymore, since Niu Haisheng himself had already done so.

A group of people stood up and greeted each other, getting to know each other.

This noisy scene naturally drew even more attention from everyone present.

As Zhou Man ate her breakfast, she felt both annoyed and amused.

This guy is really something. I originally wanted to come and have a nice breakfast with them, but I didn't expect him to be even busier than me. Newcomers kept coming in like they were passing through a city gate, and the number of people kept increasing, making it hard to even have a peaceful breakfast.

However, after glancing at the lively crowd centered around Shen Kang, Zhou Man felt a little proud—Shen Kang was much better than her nephew.

It could even be said that at this age, Shen Kang is better than the vast majority of his peers.

After everyone had gotten to know each other, Niu Haisheng asked the TV reporter why they had come to interview Shen Kang. Shen Kang explained, "I also run two websites at school. Recently, one of the websites held an event, and a guy who participated was quite newsworthy. Yangcheng TV was very interested and came to interview him. Actually, the main purpose was to interview that guy. I just happened to be the founder of the website, so they interviewed me on the side. I'm really just a supporting character."

"Mr. Shen is too modest." Niu Haisheng complimented Shen Kang's modesty in a formulaic way without saying a word.

Zeng Jie was very interested in why Shen Kang knew these CEOs, feeling that there was new news material to be found here.

"Shen, how did you and Mr. Niu meet? Could you tell me?"

"Oh, there's nothing I can't say. Actually, it's quite a coincidence, and it's related to Zong Shijie, the student you interviewed a few days ago."

"Is it related to Zong Shijie?" Zeng Jie became even more interested upon hearing this.

Shen Kang then said, "Zong Shijie has an uncle who is also a businessman. I met that uncle when I checked in here yesterday. I got to know him because of Zong Shijie. Later, he introduced me to Boss Niu, and that's how I met Boss Niu."

Shen Kang hadn't had a chance to tell Zeng Jie about the change in today's schedule: originally, he had arranged with the TV station to interview him about participating in the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition. But due to an unexpected event yesterday, he was no longer participating in the competition and had to attend an industry conference instead.

Now that this topic has come up, Shen Kang has just said it.

Upon hearing this, Zeng Jie became even more interested.

Shen Kang, a college student, participating in an entrepreneurship competition like the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition, certainly has his merits, but he's still within the realm of college students, and his story lacks compelling appeal. However, attending industry conferences is a different story!

Imagine this: at an industry conference, a sea of ​​middle-aged men like Niu Haisheng and Wei Shengjun, interspersed with a male college student. How dramatic and newsworthy would that be?

"This is great! This is even more newsworthy than the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition!" Zeng Jie immediately said.

As soon as he said it, he remembered that there were still people from the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition organizing committee present.

However, the organizers of the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition did not show any unusual expression; they just smiled and seemed not to have heard anything.

Upon hearing Zeng Jie's words, Shen Kang said, "However, this industry conference was organized by Boss Niu and his team. Whether it's acceptable for news reports or not, I think we should ask Boss Niu first."

Shen Kang looked at Niu Haisheng.

Before anyone could even ask, Niu Haisheng immediately declared loudly, "No problem! As the organizer of this industry conference, we warmly welcome the reporters from Yangcheng TV!"

Then, he asked Wei Shengjun and the others, "Old Wei, what do you guys think?"

Wei Shengjun and the others also chimed in, "I agree." "I have no objection either."...

The bosses all looked quite excited.

On the one hand, they held this meeting and attended this conference because they wanted to band together and find better ways to survive in the midst of the global financial crisis; on the other hand, they were also there to boast.

Actually, even without this year's sudden financial crisis, they would still book a hotel and get together every year at the end of the year.

The gathering was supposed to be about looking back on the year and looking forward to the coming year, but it was really just a bragging session.

At times like these, everyone drinks heavily and boasts a lot.

Given their habits, it's impossible for anyone at this industry conference today not to boast.

What? You're saying there's a global financial crisis and everyone's having a hard time? How can you brag like that?

Hey, the global financial crisis is real, and it's true that life is tough, but if you can find someone who's having an even tougher time than you, can't you brag about it to them?

You don't need to beat the financial crisis, you just need to beat your competitors.

Therefore, today's industry conference is essentially a conference with a boastful nature.

Now that a TV station has taken the initiative to come and interview them, giving them the opportunity to appear on television, wouldn't that make them even more famous? Naturally, there's no reason for them to refuse.

"When the time comes, Mr. Niu, you must arrange the best shooting location for Reporter Zeng!" Wei Shengjun shouted.

Niu Haisheng repeatedly assured that everything would be arranged perfectly.

The event organizers had already managed to get an interview. Now that a new group had arrived, the reporter's attention shifted, and they wisely took their leave.

After Niu Haisheng and his team gave Zeng Jie a series of assurances, Zeng Jie thought for a moment and said, "The more material we can gather for the interview with Shen, the better. Several members of the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition team have already been interviewed. If the bosses are willing, how about we also give an interview? I just don't know if it will bother the bosses."

These bosses are all here, it would be a shame not to take some footage.

It's hard to say whether we'll be able to use it; it's possible we won't. But the worst thing would be wanting to use it later but having no material available—that would be the most awkward situation.

Upon hearing this, Niu Haisheng's face lit up with joy, and he quickly said, "Not at all, not at all! Mr. Shen and I are very good friends, it's my duty, not at all!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Shengjun and the others quickly chimed in, "I hit it off with President Shen immediately, I absolutely have to help!" "Exactly, exactly!"...

These small business owners have money, wives, children, and lovers—basically everything in life—but they're not famous and have never been on television.

What you haven't received is always good.

Now, they're naturally eager and enthusiastic about any opportunity to appear on television. From now on, when bragging to others, they'll add, "I've been on TV, and it was the provincial capital's TV station! Have you ever been on TV?"

Seeing that everyone was very enthusiastic, Zeng Jie started interviewing the bosses.

Niu Haisheng was the first to arrive, and he seemed a little nervous and reserved in front of the camera. Fortunately, Zeng Jie's questions were quite simple, and nothing went wrong.

"I met Mr. Shen through a friend's introduction. The first time I saw him, I felt that he was no ordinary person; he exuded an aura of dominance..."

Wei Shengjun and his group waited on the sidelines, but they didn't just stand around doing nothing. One of them quietly took out his phone and sent a message...

Shen Kang has been busy all this time and hasn't eaten yet.

Seeing that Niu Haisheng and the others had started their interview and he was free for the time being, he quickly moved away from Zeng Jie, slipped over to Zhou Man's side, and wolfed down his food.

Zhou Man had already finished eating.

Seeing Shen Kang wolfing down his food, he immediately said, "Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you, don't choke."

"Waaaaaah, waaaaah, waaaaah, waaaah, waaaah, waaaah."

Shen Kang's mouth was stuffed full of shrimp and scrambled eggs, and he made a sound from his throat.

Zhou Man frowned, completely unable to understand what he meant, so she looked at He Qiuzhu and asked, "What did he say?"

He Qiuzhu translated: "No one is competing with me, but there is time to compete with me."

Shen Kang had just finished gulping down a big mouthful of porridge when he heard this, and immediately gave her a thumbs-up with his temporarily free left hand.

Zhou Man found it amusing. "Qiu Zhu, you can understand even that?"

At this moment, Ye Jintong was looking at Niu Haisheng and the others who were being interviewed with great regret, thinking to herself, "When will it be my turn?"

Upon hearing Zhou Man's words, Ye Jintong chimed in, "Cousin, you wouldn't believe how outrageous these two are. Forget translating this nonsense, sometimes they don't even need to say a word to know what the other is trying to say..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Kang quickly swallowed everything in his mouth, nearly choking to death, and his eyes rolled back in his head.

He Qiuzhu had already quietly finished her breakfast and was now idling around.

Upon seeing this, he immediately reached out to soothe Shen Kang's chest, as if trying to use his hand to help him swallow the food through his esophagus.

Shen Kang forced himself to swallow, then quickly interrupted Ye Jintong, "Jintong, why are you dawdling? You haven't finished your breakfast yet! Hurry up and eat!"

Interrupted by him, Ye Jintong forgot what she was going to say and replied directly, "That won't do. I'm saving it so that when I'm interviewed later, I can eat breakfast elegantly while being interviewed, emphasizing a leisurely and comfortable pace, without appearing too utilitarian or eager."

Shen Kang remained calm: "But do you know that the way you ate just now looked quite pretentious to others, and it didn't leave a good impression?"

"Huh? Really?" Ye Jintong was taken aback upon hearing this, and then became anxious.

Shen Kang nodded. "Really. My advice is that you'd better finish eating first, and then be more restrained when you come for the interview. It's better than you eating while being interviewed."

Ye Jintong was still a little unsure, so she asked He Qiuzhu again if the way she ate just now seemed very pretentious.

He Qiuzhu received a look from Shen Kang and obediently said yes.

Ye Jintong then asked Ma Liang.

Ma Liang didn't pay any attention and was too lazy to distinguish, simply saying, "Ah, yes, yes, yes."

Seeing that everyone was saying this, Ye Jintong believed it and quickly started eating breakfast, intending to finish it before the interviewers came.

"You almost said something you shouldn't have," Shen Kang thought silently, watching Ye Jintong wolfing down his food.

Just as Shen Kang was about to continue wolfing down his food, Zhou Man suddenly spoke up.

"What was Ye Jintong about to say next?"

Shen Kang's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm, his eyes still somewhat blank. "I can't get there."

Zhou Man glanced at him but didn't ask any further questions. She simply said, "You two seem to get along quite well? You seem to have a good understanding between you."

"It's alright," Shen Kang replied vaguely, and without saying anything more to Zhou Man, he started wolfing down his food again.

Just as he was wolfing down his food, something new happened in the restaurant.

Suddenly, the door to a private room opened, and two middle-aged men walked out. After looking around, they headed straight for the room.

As soon as they arrived, a shop owner who had been waiting nearby stepped forward, led the two of them to Shen Kang, and introduced them to him.

"Mr. Shen, this is Mr. Liu..."

When Shen Kang saw someone coming to his door, he had no choice but to put down his chopsticks for the time being, get up to greet them, and introduce himself.

There are more than just these two.

The door to another private room opened, and three middle-aged men came out.

Like the previous two, these three looked around before heading straight over. Upon arrival, someone immediately led them to meet Shen Kang.

"Hello, hello."...

In addition, the doors to the private rooms of the Chinese restaurant were opened one by one.

Outside the Chinese restaurant, people were also hurrying towards this side.

Upon entering, he immediately looked around and searched before quickly walking over to Shen Kang, where he was led by someone and introduced to him.

Shen Kang couldn't eat breakfast, as he kept shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries with each person who came.
