I met my whole family through Baidu Tieba.

After agreeing to go on the trip together, the two teams were merged into one.

Both sides introduced all the members of their respective teams to each other.

On the other side of Qiannan University for Nationalities, there were also two boys and two girls. The boy besides Yu Zeliang was named Xu Jianqiang. He was a boy with darker skin, a bit thin, and seemed a bit introverted.

Of the two girls, one had long hair and looked rather quiet; her name was Wang Nan. The other had short hair, a somewhat dashing air, and a rather unique name.

"Chen Yong?"

Ma Liang spoke up instinctively, looking at the short-haired girl with a strange expression.

A girl named Chen Yong?

Chen Yong laughed heartily, "It does sound a bit like a boy's name, huh? But it was my dad who named him that, so there's nothing I can do about it."

Yu Zeliang then said, "Don't let our Sister Yong's tomboyish appearance and masculine name fool you; she's actually very gentle and thoughtful. She's the one who manages the accounts for my project, and there hasn't been a single mistake."

After Qian Nanmin University finished its introduction, Shen Kang and his team also gave their presentation.

When He Qiuzhu was introduced, the people from Qiannan University paid the most attention.

Chen Yong even reached out and shook hands with He Qiuzhu, praising her, "Sister, you're so beautiful."

Shen Kang noticed that when Chen Yong withdrew his hand, Wang Nan accidentally bumped into her.

After the introductions were completed, they walked out of the hotel.

They walked and talked about how to get around.

Yu Zeliang suggested, "None of us are familiar with the public transportation around here, and taking the bus might waste a lot of time. I think we should take taxis instead. There are four people in each of our two groups, so two taxis should be enough for us."

No one objected, so it was decided.

But as he approached the hotel entrance, Shen Kang slowed his pace.

Sun Hongjun was near the main entrance, talking to a hotel employee. Upon seeing Shen Kang and the others approach, Sun Hongjun abandoned the employee and quickly went to greet them.

"President Shen." Sun Hongjun greeted him with a smile as he approached, his good mood evident in his expression.

Upon seeing this, the group naturally stopped as well.

Shen Kang replied, "President Sun, were you waiting for me?"

Sun Hongjun nodded, "I heard you were going on a trip, and I was worried that it might be difficult to get a taxi, so I arranged a minivan to take you, Mr. Shen."

As he spoke, Sun Hongjun glanced at Yu Zeliang and the others, completely confused about the reason for the extra people.

Seeing his gaze, Shen Kang introduced them: "These are some classmates who happened to run into each other and agreed to go together. Mr. Sun, would you like to sit in the car you arranged?"

"I thought there were only five people, so I arranged a seven-seater car."

As Sun Hongjun spoke, he took out his phone, "But it's alright, we can just get another one."

Shen Kang declined, saying, "No need to trouble yourself, we can just take a taxi."

Sun Hongjun replied firmly, "No problem at all. The car is in the parking lot; I can drive over right away. It's not troublesome at all."

Seeing that Sun Hongjun was quite determined, Shen Kang did not refuse any longer and let Sun Hongjun make a phone call to arrange for a car.

A group of people watched from the side.

Ye Jintong and the others had been following Shen Kang for quite some time, so they were used to seeing this scene.

The one who arranged the car at least addressed the boss as "General Manager Shen." The last time the boss's wife called over was really outrageous; she directly called the boss "Young Master," which was truly astonishing.

Compared to that person, the impact of Sun Hongjun is negligible.

However, Yu Zeliang and the others were not used to it yet, and their expressions were somewhat strange.

Yesterday morning, they witnessed Shen Kang meeting with some business owners and reporters. They knew that Shen Kang was not an ordinary college student, but the fact that someone was waiting there to arrange transportation for him when he went out to play, and that they could even make an emergency change if the wrong car was available, still broadened their horizons once again.

This is Shen Kang's daily life...

After hanging up the phone, Sun Hongjun said, "Mr. Shen, please wait a moment, the car will be here soon." He paused, then added, "Mr. Shen, could we come over for a chat?"

Shen Kang nodded and went with him.

The two stopped after walking a short distance.

After stopping, Sun Hongjun turned to Shen Kang with a sincere expression. "President Shen, thank you so much for recommending me to President Zhou. If you ever need anything from me, please don't hesitate to ask." He then gave a self-deprecating laugh. "While you may not need my help much, I, Sun Hongjun, can still run errands for you."

Sun Hongjun had thought about it for a long time last night before deciding to find an opportunity to say a few words to Shen Kang today.

On the one hand, he was indeed very grateful to Shen Kang. On the other hand, Zhou Man's words made him think for a long time and realize that she really meant for him to get closer to Shen Kang.

These words were meant to express his stance. However, this was the first time Sun Hongjun had done something like "expressing his stance and taking sides," so it was somewhat straightforward.

After hearing Sun Hongjun's words, Shen Kang smiled and said, "I'm just saying what I think. Okay, if I ever need anyone's help in the future, I'll definitely think of President Sun."

The car hadn't arrived yet, so Shen Kang chatted with Sun Hongjun for a bit longer: "Mr. Sun, you've been in the hotel business for a long time, haven't you?"

"Yes, I entered the hotel industry after graduating at 23."...

The car arrived very quickly; it was a Toyota Coaster that drove straight to the hotel entrance and stopped.

Shen Kang glanced at it, looking a little uneasy: "Goodness, I feel like I wouldn't dare get on this car without wearing a business jacket."

Sun Hongjun was taken aback, then understood what he meant and laughed: "Actually, quite a few companies use this car, it's not just the government."

"Alright, we'll be going now."

When the car arrived, Shen Kang said goodbye to Sun Hongjun and led everyone to the door to get in the car.

As Ye Jintong walked, she glanced at the car by the door and remarked, "Boss, this car isn't as long or as wide as the one the boss's wife called last time."

Shen Kangjue thought this young comrade was being unreasonable: "Your career peak is a Maybach, your life peak is a Coaster, haven't you heard of that? What car in the world is wider than this one? You actually dare to complain that this car isn't wide enough, I think you've really narrowed your path in life."

Ye Jintong was puzzled. "What do you mean?"

Shen Kang didn't explain, but instead told her a fictional myth: "Back in 2007, I was riding my bicycle around Yangcheng when I stopped at a traffic light. It was the longest red light I'd ever seen in my life, a full 20 minutes of red light, until three Coaster buses drove past me before it finally turned green. That's... that Coaster..."

Before the urban legend could be finished, the group had already boarded the car one after another.

As you can see, this is an 11-seat Coaster, which is just right for eight people.

Shen Kang originally wanted to sit next to He Qiuzhu, but Ye Jintong forced He Qiuzhu to sit with her instead.

Shen Kang could only curse in his heart before sitting down next to Ma Liang.

As soon as I sat down, I heard Ma Liang let out a long yawn.

"Didn't sleep well again?" Shen Kang asked casually.

Ma Liang hummed in agreement, then leaned closer and whispered, "Boss, I've noticed, the massage girls at this place are prettier than the ones at that hotel last time..."

As Ma Liang recounted his massage experience from the previous night, the car started moving.

After driving for half a day, we arrived at Zhuangyuan Street.

As he got out of the car, Shen Kang felt a pang of regret—if he had worn an executive jacket, he would have looked much more imposing. What a pity.

At the entrance to Zhuangyuan Street, there is a memorial archway.

Passing through the archway and walking inside, you can see that this Zhuangyuan Street, like those ubiquitous ancient towns, is also designed in an antique style. The ground is paved with bluestone slabs, and the houses on both sides of the street are covered with wood veneer, giving it an antique feel. However, inside, it is full of modern shops, selling yogurt, tourist souvenirs, clothes, and so on.

Perhaps because it was Sunday, there were many tourists on Zhuangyuan Street.

The weather was nice today, the sun was shining brightly, and the sunlight cast patches and strips of shadow on the street through obstacles such as eaves and pedestrians.

The group walked along Zhuangyuan Street, stopping every now and then to buy some food and drinks.

Of course, taking photos is also essential for girls.

He Qiuzhu wasn't very interested in taking photos, but Ye Jintong really enjoyed it. She dragged He Qiuzhu along and took several pictures in front of different shops.

However, the one most enthusiastic about taking photos is Wang Nan, who takes pictures almost everywhere she goes. She takes photos herself, and often drags Chen Yong along to take photos as well.

While looking at the photos on the camera, Wang Nan would occasionally act coquettishly towards Chen Yong. When they bought candied hawthorns to eat, Wang Nan would look down at the photos on the camera while Chen Yong held the candied hawthorns and fed them to her mouth, and Wang Nan would take a bite. Both of them were quite skilled at it. There were many other small details like these.

Shen Kang, having nothing else to do, noticed these small details and became thoughtful.

Just then, the group arrived at the entrance of a souvenir shop and rushed inside.

The store was quite crowded.

Shen Kang wandered around casually, but didn't see anything that interested him. Finding it a bit crowded inside, he came out and stood at the door, leisurely looking around.

Then a voice came from behind him.

"What are you looking at, Shen?"

Shen Kang turned his head and saw that it was Yu Zeliang.

Over Yu Zeliang's shoulder, he also saw Wang Nan holding a souvenir and acting coquettishly with Chen Yong.

Shen Kang withdrew his gaze. "Nothing, just looking around randomly."

Yu Zeliang also turned his head and followed Shen Kang's gaze, seeing Wang Nan acting coquettishly with Chen Yong.

He then turned back, stood beside Shen Kang, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously, "You figured it out?"

Yu Zeliang was just worried about not having anything to talk about with Shen Kang, and now he had found a topic.

Shen Kang nodded, then asked in return, "You knew about it too?"

Yu Zeliang nodded and chuckled, "Of course I know, since we're doing business together, and they don't really try to avoid each other. Speaking of which, I was their matchmaker. They didn't know each other before; I recruited them when I was starting my business."

Since they had nothing else to do at the moment, Shen Kang and Yu Zeliang started chatting about this topic.

As they chatted, Yu Zeliang also talked about the differences between boys and girls in this regard.

"...There's a guy like that in the dorm next to ours. Actually, we get along pretty well with him, we're all 'good buddies,' but there's one thing, we can't do anything intimate with each other."

"But the girls' reactions were different."

"I know Wang Nan and Chen Yong's roommates, and I know some things about their dorm. Their roommates didn't react as strongly as we guys. Even with them, we could still do some intimate things."

Yu Zeliang was puzzled by this question: "Is this probably just a difference in the way men and women think?"

Shen Kang then suddenly remarked, "One is territorial invasion, and the other is border friction; their attitudes are definitely different."

Yu Zeliang was taken aback for a moment, then realized what he meant and couldn't help but burst into laughter, laughing non-stop.

It took quite a while before it finally stopped.

"Hahahaha...that's absolutely amazing, hahahaha..."

After completely suppressing his laughter, Yu Zeliang used Wang Nan and Chen Yong's story to gradually steer the conversation towards business, "...They both made quite a few contributions to my knock-off phone project. By the way, Shen, I see you have quite a wide circle of friends. That guy in the hotel just now called you 'President Shen,' have you also been involved in some entrepreneurial projects?"

Shen Kang said, "I guess so. I made two websites and opened a few small shops on campus."

Yu Zeliang then asked, "What website? What store? Maybe we'll even have a chance to collaborate."

Shen Kang thought for a moment and said, "Maybe there really is. One of the two websites I run is like a campus forum, and the other is a secondhand website. You make counterfeit phones, so I wonder if you understand college students' 'views on mobile phones'?"

Seeing that Shen Kang was interested in the topic, Yu Zeliang was delighted and quickly said, "I understand."

Shen Kang then asked, "Now there are two phones here, one is a used Nokia, originally priced at two thousand, now only one thousand, and the other is one of those Nokia Duck phones you're selling, brand new, originally priced at one thousand. If you put these two phones in front of a college student, which phone do you think they would choose?"

Feeling that his question might still be too broad, Shen Kang gave more specific limiting conditions.

"That secondhand Nokia, originally priced at two thousand, was bought a year ago. After a year of use, there are no obvious scratches on the exterior, only some minor signs of wear. Functionally, it works perfectly for making calls and sending text messages."
