It was a very prestigious top-tier institution, the salary was impressive too. Yan Xixi was genuinely happy for him; Cambridge definitely lived up to its renowned reputation.
"Congratulations. I haven’t started looking for a job yet."
"What industry do you plan to go into?"
"For now, I’ll focus on studying, and look at my options after graduation."
"How have you been lately?"
"Alright, just busy with studies."
She replied cheerfully, "Li Zhen, you’ve treated me several times, but I haven’t treated you yet. Next time, bring your girlfriend along, and I’ll host you both properly."
Li Zhen paused for a moment and sent over a group photo.
She was a chic young lady, dressed fashionably, smiling beautifully. She stood closely next to Li Zhen, making a lovely pair.
"Li Zhen, you’re hitting two jackpots, truly congratulations..."
Li Zhen hesitated briefly but still asked, "Yan Xixi, will you be going back?"
"Not for the time being."
He visibly relaxed, "If you can avoid going back, it’s better not to."
Yan Xixi hung up the phone silently and walked to the window. She realized that summer had arrived — she was about to receive the diploma she had dreamed of, yet everyone was advising her not to go back.
She pondered: If I don’t go back, will Wan Donglin come?
Will he?
It was a completely closed meeting, attended by CEOs from various large companies.
The meeting was held at a small resort in the suburbs for confidentiality. All phones were placed in a designated spot to ensure complete security.
The crowd was noisy and the debate was intense, all for the position of the chamber of commerce president.
One side supported Old Zhang, their reasons were quite solid, with Old Zhang having strong industry self-regulation and a good reputation.
The other side was unspokenly hoping for a different family business to take the lead.
Only Huang Xiaojue remained calm; as before, he rarely spoke unless it was a crucial moment.
As the quarrel continued, Wan Donglin stood up, "Everyone, listen to me..."
The conference room fell into an uncanny silence, all eyes were on Wan Donglin.
In the past two years, the third young master had been keeping a low profile, occasionally speaking in jest, and enjoying leisure. At the time, everyone thought he had outrightly lost to Huang Xiaojue and had no interest in carving a niche in the new business domains.
Yet today, they realized he had been the one behind the scenes all along.
He spoke with unusual composure, "As everyone knows, the new field is driven by technology, and it is evolving swiftly. Everyone wants the leading voice in this field, which is only natural. However, at this point, we are all on the same boat, and shouldn’t undermine each other. Otherwise, if opportunities slip away, no one will mourn our downfall... Look at the once mighty traditional industries, now completely overwhelmed by new technology, in decline; if we continue internal feuding, it would be tantamount to waiting for doom."
Someone asked, "So, third young master, what do you suggest we do?"
He responded promptly, "We need to reshape industry standards, even you big shots need to compete for positions. Here’s some information, everyone take a look, and feel free to express any opinions..."
The information was laid out in front of everyone, extremely well-prepared.
Once they finished reviewing, many were unhappy, feeling quite disgruntled because it obviously threatened their interests. But, dissatisfied as they might be, they had no choice nor could conceive a better solution.
Wan Donglin looked at Huang Xiaojue, "Mr. Huang, what do you think?"
Huang Xiaojue stood calmly, simply raising his hand first.
