I met my whole family through Baidu Tieba.

In the lobby of the Chinese restaurant, at a table, a boy from a participating team from another school was watching Shen Kang from afar.

In his eyes, people kept arriving from all directions, each one a middle-aged man, dressed smartly, looking every bit the successful businessman.

Then these successful people went up to Shen Kang, smiled, shook hands, and exchanged pleasantries with him.

Afterwards, these people went to the side, greeted and chatted with people they knew.

Shen Kang, on the other hand, met with the next person, continuing the process of shaking hands, getting acquainted, and exchanging pleasantries.

It was almost like a grand alliance meeting, with everyone coming to pay their respects to Shen Kang, the alliance leader.

"This is what a true man should do."

The boy couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

When I first read in the textbook that Liu Bang made such a remark when he met the First Emperor on his tour, I, as a boy, didn't really understand it. But now I do.

He now greatly admires and longs for it.

Sigh, you know, we're all college students, we're all here to participate in the innovation and entrepreneurship competition, so why are some people so successful while I can only sit here quietly eating breakfast?

The other boy at the same table was also silently watching over there, then looking at his own table, which was as quiet as a chicken, a lyric flashed through his mind.

I was eighteen that year, and at the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition, I sat there like a lackey.

Another boy sitting next to me said directly, "Students from the provincial capital are just different, huh?"

Just then, a team from Yangda University at the next table had finished breakfast and was about to leave when they overheard this conversation.

A cheerful college student from Yangzhou jokingly remarked, "No, classmate, it's not like that in our provincial capital. He's just an exception, haha."

Shen Kang's side undoubtedly became the focus of everyone's attention in the hall. People, whether near or far, were basically looking in that direction and whispering among themselves.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, more and more people gathered here.

Many of them already knew each other. Since Shen Kang was too busy to greet them, they consciously moved aside and greeted any acquaintances they encountered.

"Mr. Zhang, you're up so early today?"

"Mr. Wang, you're here early too."

"Mr. Li, you came this morning? I don't think I saw you yesterday."...

Everyone exchanged pleasantries and chatted amongst themselves, treating the Chinese restaurant lobby like a social dinner. At the same time, they all tacitly stayed close to Shen Kang and the two reporters, seemingly afraid that if they strayed too far, they wouldn't get a chance to be photographed.

As a result, the surrounding area became even more crowded, and gradually began to feel congested.

The students in the lobby watched this scene from afar, only envying Shen Kang, who was basking in the limelight among the crowd.

But when Shen Kang saw this situation, he decided to organize and evacuate the area.

But before they could do anything, Sun Yu had already brought over several waiters.

Sun Yu had been keeping a close eye on the situation. When he saw that things were getting out of hand, fearing that a crowd might cause trouble, he immediately brought people over to evacuate the area.

After all, there were still reporters present. If something happened and it became firsthand news material, it would be much more serious than any other incident.

Accompanying Sun Yu and the waiters was a silent man, none other than the driver, Xiao Yang.

Seeing this, Shen Kang glanced at the driver, Xiao Yang, and knew that he had probably come over because he was worried that Zhou Man might get into trouble in the chaos.

He didn't greet the driver, Xiao Yang, but only exchanged a few words with Sun Yu.

Then, he loudly addressed the people present, "Everyone, everyone, please stop crowding around. Sit down, have a cup of tea, and rest your feet. Besides, the reporters are conducting interviews. Your noisy crowd around will disrupt the sound recording and delay their work."

Everyone here is just hoping to get some screen time and appear on TV.

They might not be too accommodating to Shen Kang, the owner of Anjia Housekeeping, whom they had just met, but they were very considerate of the reporter's feelings.

Upon hearing Shen Kang's words, everyone felt they made sense.

At this moment, Sun Yu immediately instructed the waiters to scatter.

Each waiter went to serve the person they were looking for: "Sir, there's a seat available here." "Sir, please follow me."...

With Shen Kang leading the way, everyone readily complied, following the waiters to find empty seats. They were very cooperative, even proactive—sitting down early meant being closer to the seats. If they were slow, they might sit further away, potentially missing out on camera shots or appearing on television.

The area around here became more orderly, and fewer and fewer people were standing around.

The driver, Xiao Yang, also left quietly again, and no one knows where he went.

Zhou Man witnessed this scene and was quite satisfied. She seemed to understand why the young man hadn't started dating yet: he thought too much about things, and probably thought all the girls at school were immature. They didn't have anything in common with him, and he didn't find any of them attractive, so he hadn't started dating.

As Zhou Man thought about this, she suddenly remembered something else.

Just then, Shen Kang had just finished "meeting" another boss who had arrived. Seeing that there was no "next" figure in his field of vision for the time being, he prepared to sit down and quickly eat something.

As soon as she sat down, Zhou Man leaned over and whispered, "Back then, teacher-student relationships were forbidden. Are male students and female teachers allowed to date in your schools now? I don't know much about the situation in universities these days."

"..." Shen Kang was speechless, wondering what Zhou Man was thinking. "It's explicitly prohibited by the school rules."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Man said with great regret, "Oh, it's the same as back then. Oh well, never mind."

She had previously thought that Shen Kang might find the female students immature, but the female teachers were often much more mature, and perhaps Shen Kang would find them attractive. However, since teacher-student relationships are still prohibited in universities, she could only let it go.

Shen Kang glanced at it, thinking, "So you're worried about my love life, huh?" So he casually asked, "And you, cousin, have you been dating anyone lately?"

"..."

Zhou Man didn't know how the term "puppy love" was related to her, a 38-year-old woman, and was too lazy to answer.

While the two were hurting each other here.

Sun Hongjun rushed over at the entrance of the Chinese restaurant.

He learned from the text messages Sun Yu sent him that Shen Kang and Zhou Man were having breakfast here.

Sun Hongjun originally did not plan to come. He believed in his nephew's abilities and intended to give him a chance to prove himself.

However, when Sun Yu informed him via text message that more and more of his bosses were gathering, Sun Hongjun became alarmed and, unable to rest easy, rushed over.

Upon arriving at the entrance, Sun Hongjun glanced inside and saw the quiet and orderly scene in the lobby. He slowed his pace and breathed a sigh of relief.

The most fortunate thing is that the anticipated chaotic scene did not occur.

The next moment, Sun Hongjun also saw Sun Yu near Shen Kang's table, where there were a lot of waiters.

This immediately led Sun Hongjun to guess that it was his nephew Sun Yu who had taken precautions, and he couldn't help but feel proud: Little Yu's abilities are indeed quite good, his sense of crisis is very strong, and his considerations are very comprehensive, excellent. Most importantly, all of this happened in front of Zhou Man and Shen Kang, which makes it even better.

After looking around near the main entrance a few more times to make sure that Sun Yu had arranged everything properly and that nothing would go wrong, Sun Hongjun decided to leave, leaving the stage to his nephew.

Just as I was about to leave, I noticed that near the gate, in the reception area, the driver, Xiao Yang, was sitting on a single sofa.

Sun Hongjun also knew Yang Lin, knowing that he was Zhou Man's driver and bodyguard, so he smiled and nodded at him.

Yang Lin returned his smile.

The two were laughing at each other.

Zhou Man, on the other end, had already noticed Sun Hongjun rushing over from the main gate.

"...I'm more open-minded. If you're dating too early, just tell me..." Shen Kang teased Zhou Man while eating breakfast.

Zhou Man thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "Sun Hongjun is here. Come on, let's go see him." After saying that, she stood up.

Upon hearing this, Shen Kang stopped teasing, put down his chopsticks, got up, and followed Zhou Man.

As the two walked toward the reception area, Sun Hongjun, with his back to the restaurant, was about to leave and did not see them.

However, the driver, Xiao Yang, noticed and reminded him, "Mr. Sun, Mr. Zhou is here."

Sun Hongjun turned around and, sure enough, saw Zhou Man leading Shen Kang over.

The reason he could recognize Zhou Man at a glance, both now and just now, was because the person who came up with the idea, created the look, and even brought in the makeup artist was none other than Sun Hongjun.

Sun Hongjun took a step forward, wanting to go and meet them.

Zhou Man, however, waved her hand back and made a gesture.

Sun Hongjun understood and obediently stood still, waiting for the two to come over.

When the two arrived, Sun Hongjun took the initiative to greet them: "President Zhou, Mr. Shen."

The driver, Xiao Yang, also greeted them: "Mr. Zhou, Young Master Shen."

Young Master Shen?

Sun Hongjun's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't show it on his face.

The group met and exchanged a few pleasantries.

Sun Yu was watching from a short distance away.

He knew that the person was Zhou Man, a big shot in the group.

If it were based on his old temperament, he would definitely pretend to find something to do and get away from that area. Even if he were to go there, it would be if those people invited him.

But last night, after he got home, he lay in bed tossing and turning, thinking about his uncle's words for a long time.

Some of my ideas seem to have slowly changed.

Therefore, after hesitating for two seconds, Sun Yu took the initiative to walk over there.

When Sun Yu approached the group, they were almost finished with their pleasantries.

Seeing his nephew come over on his own initiative, Sun Hongjun was somewhat gratified and took the opportunity to introduce him: "This is Sun Yu, the deputy manager of our hotel's catering department."

As for Zhou Man and Shen Kang, he simply said, "Deputy Manager Sun, this is Ms. Zhou, and this is Mr. Shen."

Sun Yu smiled politely, "Good morning, both of you."

"Hello."……
