I met my whole family through Baidu Tieba.

Just as this Miss Lan was going crazy, sometimes grinning broadly and sometimes glaring at people.

Meanwhile, in an internet cafe outside Qianmin University, the place was packed with people, almost full, and filled with smoke; business was booming.

Shen Kang was sitting in front of a computer, next to Yin Mingyang. On their computer screens, the game "Terror in Warcraft III" was playing. They were both on the Scourge side, which was full and counting down to the start screen.

"You've been here for several days now, and you've finally come to visit me," Yin Mingyang complained from the side.

"I've always been busy," Shen Kang said casually.

He'd been busy with important matters these past two days and hadn't had time to contact Yin Mingyang. Today, having finished most of his business and with nothing else to do, he finally remembered his good buddy and came to find Yin Mingyang. But after chatting for only a short while, Yin Mingyang excitedly dragged him to the internet cafe.

"I guessed it. I heard you spouting nonsense on the phone the other day, and I knew you were up to something." Yin Mingyang said, then asked curiously, "So, Lao Shen, what have you been up to these past few days?"

Shen Kang then briefly told him about what had happened in the past two days.

The game had already started while they were talking.

This game of "TA" was played on the HaoFang platform. The game mode was selected, and Shen Kang was still selecting characters when he finished speaking.

Seeing that Ji Ba Lian was still in the circle, Yin Mingyang quickly instructed, "Old Shen, you choose Ji Ba Lian."

Upon hearing the name Ji Ba Lian, Shen Kang immediately thought of the time during summer vacation when Yin Mingyang dragged him to beat him up.

"I still remember when you dragged me to play TA during summer vacation, and you fucking made me pick Ji Ba Lian, saying it was an early-game hero."

Yin Mingyang chuckled, "That's because I was a newbie back then, I didn't know anything about it, did I? Don't worry, this game has Shadow Fiend, I'll pick Shadow Fiend, leave the early and mid-game to me. You don't know, after joining Qianmin University, my Templar Assassin skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and some people even want to team up with me. I'll protect you, I guarantee you'll dominate in the late game."

"I'll take care of the 'giggle,' and you'll take care of the rampage, right?"

Shen Kang made a complaint, but still chose Ji Ba Lian.

As they chatted, they selected their characters and started playing. Yin Mingyang finally remembered what they had discussed earlier and asked while playing, "By the way, Lao Shen, if what you're saying is true, is everything settled at school? Am I finally going to start playing CrossFire?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be about ready..."

As Shen Kang was speaking, his phone vibrated. He took it out and saw that it was a call from Ding Zhentao.

"It's Dean Ding's call. I'll hang up for a bit."

After hanging Ji Ba's face in the spring water, Shen Kang, because it was too noisy in the internet cafe, took his phone and left his seat, walking all the way outside the internet cafe before answering the call.

"Hey, Shen Kang."

Ding Zhentao's voice came from the other end of the phone, his tone filled with undisguised joy, "Your matter is completely settled. Your Beiming Community can get into Minzu University now..."

Ding Zhentao's phone call was truly heartwarming.

In the previous two meetings, he was stared at and criticized by Li Chen, which was quite frustrating. Today, he finally got his revenge. Li Chen sat there motionless, like a statue, and the image of him was still lingering in Ding Zhentao's mind. It felt great!

Upon receiving Ding Zhentao's report, Shen Kang smiled and said, "Thank you so much, Dean Ding."

"I'm ashamed to say that I wasn't much of a help; you did it all yourself."

"That's not right. Without Dean Ding, all the things I've done here would be useless..."

The matter of Beiming Community's expansion into Qianmin University is now completely settled.

However, Shen Kang did not leave Qianmin University immediately.

For the next two days, he stayed at Qianmin University, contacting the school through Ding Zhentao to work on the contract.

Besides that, since he happened to be in the High-tech Zone, he also visited Anjia Household Services to check on loan and expansion plans; everything was progressing smoothly and quickly. During this time, he also treated Shi Qingxiang from the Construction Bank to a meal to reconnect. He also took some time to stay overnight at Shenlan Waterfront.

In name, Shen Kang has not left Qianmin University, but in reality, he is rarely seen at the university. Whenever he does appear on campus, it is always to visit Ding Zhentao.

It wasn't until the third day, after everything was finished, that Shen Kang finally made an appearance at the Thousand People's Assembly.

"...Shen Kang is looking for us?"

Long Yuewen sat in her dormitory, holding her phone. On the other end of the line was Long Xingchen.

"Yes," Long Xingchen's voice came through the receiver, "He said he wanted to introduce us to some friends."

"Friends? What friends?"

"I don't know, he didn't say anything on the phone."

"Okay, I'll head over now."

After hanging up the phone, Long Yuewen got up, tidied herself up briefly, and went out to the place Long Xingchen had mentioned, lost in thought the whole way:

The day after the campus's top ten singers competition, Long Xingchen found her and told her many things: Shen Kang really was the owner of a housekeeping company, and the website that Long Yuewen planned to use for her "startup" was indeed created by Shen Kang...

Her first reaction was that Long Xingchen had been influenced by Shen Kang and had also become more fond of joking.

However, Long Xingchen's serious expression at the time proved that this was very likely true.

Subsequently, she received indirect confirmation from Ma Xiaofeng.

This left Long Yuewen quite bewildered—Shen Kang, who was even better at saving money than them and had even asked Long Xingchen to find him a bed in order to save money, was actually a CEO?

Although she was already 80% convinced, Long Yuewen still wanted to confirm with Shen Kang in person.

Unfortunately, Shen Kang has been very busy these past few days and has basically disappeared from the school, but he hasn't really left Qianmin University—according to Long Xingchen, Shen Kang did go back to his dormitory to sleep one night.

This situation, where the person involved had received shocking news but they hadn't been able to confirm it in person, kept Long Yuewen in suspense. It was as if someone had told her a story, but only told the first half, leaving the second half untold.

It's uncomfortable.

Thankfully, Shen Kang finally showed up today and even took the initiative to approach them...

Lost in thought, Long Yuewen left the girls' dormitory and headed to the location Long Xingchen had mentioned.

That location is one of the commercial districts of the University of Science and Technology of China.

Upon arriving at the location, Long Yuewen headed northeast: there was a piece of land that was adjacent to this commercial area but relatively independent, with several old houses built on it in the architectural style of the last century.

That was also the place where Shen Kang had arranged to meet them.

Upon closer inspection, Long Yuewen noticed that these old houses were different from before.

She often passed by here and had a good impression of those old houses: usually, those old houses were always closed, and she had never seen them open, as if they had been abandoned.

Now, as Long Yuewen got closer, she saw that the doors of all the old houses were open.

Through the open door, you can see that the inside is dirty and messy, with a lot of miscellaneous items piled up, including old tables, broken chairs, cardboard boxes, and iron racks of unknown purpose.

Several workers in home renovation uniforms were moving things out of the house.

Nearby, several tricycles were parked, and the workers were taking things out of them and piling them into the back of the tricycles.

The leftmost room has been almost cleaned up, and all the clutter has been removed, but it is still very dirty inside.

Two workers in home improvement uniforms and a man in long sleeves were standing with their backs to the outside, diligently cleaning and tidying the inside with tools in hand.

Long Yuewen glanced inside twice, then looked around again, but couldn't find Shen Kang or Long Xingchen.

She simply took out her phone and called Shen Kang. Then, she saw the long-sleeved man who had been diligently cleaning with his back to the outside in the house on the left stop, take out his phone, glance at it, and then turn around. It was Shen Kang.

Seeing this, Long Yuewen was somewhat surprised, so she hung up the phone and went over.

Upon approaching Shen Kang, she said, "Why are you still working here?"

"Anyway, this place needs cleaning, and I have nothing else to do, so I'll help out for a while."

As Shen Kang spoke, he put away his phone and took off his plastic gloves. Seeing the other two Anjia employees looking over, seemingly unsure of his meaning, he said, "I have a customer, so I'll stop working. You guys continue."

"Okay, Mr. Shen." The two employees then continued working.

"...Are all these people your employees? You really are the boss of a housekeeping company?" Long Yuewen asked after hearing how the two people addressed her.

Shen Kang took off his gloves and put them aside. "Yeah, didn't I tell you this from the beginning? You just didn't believe me."

As he spoke, he gestured outside, "Let's talk outside."

Long Yuewen nodded, and the two of them went out.

"Back then, seeing how efficiently you worked, it was really hard to believe," Long Yuewen said as they walked. "But now that I see you still working like this, I believe it..."

Long Yuewen had only been in the shadow of the house for less than half a minute, but when she came out into the sunlight, she was still momentarily stunned by the sun.

It's one thing to know from others that Shen Kang is a boss, but it's quite another to hear Shen Kang himself admit it to you, especially since some of his employees were calling him "Boss Shen" at the scene.

I'm a little dazed...

Long Yuewen glanced at Shen Kang's young face and thought to herself.

Just as they were thinking this, another person arrived, and it seemed they were heading straight towards them.

Long Yuewen looked over and glanced at it a few more times.

It was a girl, she looked to be Han Chinese, and she was very pretty.

After the girl walked up to them, she glanced at him and then greeted Shen Kang: "Boss."

Shen Kang nodded and introduced them to each other: "Let me introduce you. This is Long Yuewen, and this is Su Yali..."
