Walking out of the office.

Forget it.
Won’t go back to class.
I’ll go to Lin Jiaxue’s lecture; it’s been a while since my last visit.
On the way.
Running into Tang Qing.
Students glanced sideways, some wanting to greet him, yet they found themselves too intimidated to speak up. Despite also being students, the gap created by wealth naturally formed a barrier in their hearts.
One barrier.
An insurmountable barrier.
Looking straight ahead.
Tang Qing arrived at the building where Lin Jiaxue had her class.
Just as he was about to enter.
"Tang Qing, skipping class?" Counselor Jing Xiang came out from inside.
Approaching.
She asked directly.
With a polite smile, Tang Qing responded, "Hello, teacher. Principal Autumn was discussing some matters with me, and seeing that class had already started, I didn’t want to disturb my classmates, so I came here for a stroll."
Jing Xiang smiled.
A stroll?
"You’re here for Jiaxue, aren’t you?"
Who Tang Qing’s girlfriend was.
Almost everyone on campus knew, and they also knew the two had been close since childhood. That’s why, aside from envy, most offered blessings. If the couple were to split up, many would probably lose faith in love.
"Yes."
Tang Qing nodded.
Suddenly.
"Jing Xiang, would you be interested in working at my university?"
Jing Xiang was taken aback.
Poaching.
Even poaching their own counselor.
Interesting.
"Let’s see. Your university is still far from needing me. By then, I guess teachers would be breaking down your door to get in," Jing Xiang truly wasn’t interested in transferring schools.
Fudan.
A national key university.
A century of educational tradition.
For many teachers, it’s not about the treatment, but rather the heritage. It’s a deep-seated belief that the university will continue to shine for another century. Tang Qing’s university, on the other hand, had a commercial flavor to it.
If managed well.
It could be glorious within ten or twenty years.
If not.
Heh.
And Fudan.
There’s simply no chance of bankruptcy or closure. Therefore, Jing Xiang isn’t someone who likes taking risks. She just wants to do what she loves in peace. Prestige and all will come eventually.
And this.
Was exactly why Tang Qing wanted to invite Jing Xiang.
His wealth.
Could attract excellent teaching talents, but what he really wanted were teachers who wished to stay at the school for a long time. Money could buy teaching resources but not a century of glory.
However.
That’s not to say there’s no solution.
The inquiry just now.
After more than two years of interaction and finding Jing Xiang agreeable, he asked, but he wasn’t yet desperate for talents, "Alright then, Jing Xiang, if an opportunity arises, I’d welcome you to join us."
"Heh, thanks. I’ve got to go. You should go find your Jiaxue."
"Okay."
After Jing Xiang left.
Tang Qing hurriedly ascended the stairs.
Just like him.
Lin Jiaxue also preferred sitting at the back.
Mainly because she wasn’t comfortable in the front row, feeling eyes on her throughout the class. Having consumed a large amount of Genetic Stabilizing Substance, she gradually developed a peculiar ’sixth sense’.
Of course.
It was just a feeling someone was watching her.
So.
Since the beginning of the year.
Lin Jiaxue had been sitting at the very last row. The rest of the class respected her decision, leaving a fixed spot for her and her three close friends, evidently Zeng Rou and the others.
Even.
The seat was similar to Tang Qing’s.
By the window.
At that moment.
The teacher was giving a lecture.
Suddenly, she saw someone tiptoe into the classroom’s back door. She was about to scold the trespasser when she remembered that no one was absent today. Once she recognized the newcomer’s face, she couldn’t help smiling and continued teaching.
Since there’s ample space at the back.
The students didn’t notice Tang Qing.
He walked over quietly.
Sitting directly next to Lin Jiaxue, the close contact startled her. Wondering who was so bold, she turned her head and saw it was Tang Qing, and she breathed a sigh of relief, "Tangtang, when did you get here?"
"Haven’t been to your class in a while." Tang Qing said with a smile, holding Lin Jiaxue’s hand.
"Tang Qing."
"Hey."
"..."
Soon.
The whole class knew Tang Qing had arrived.
Thankfully.
It didn’t cause any commotion.
"Tang Qing, you’re going to that annual meeting in a few days, need someone to carry your bags?" Zeng Rou suddenly asked.
"You?"
"What, think I can’t handle it?"
"No, but it’s on Monday and Tuesday, do you need to take time off?" Tang Qing asked with a smile. Last year, Zeng Rou and the others tagged along, he went to the conference, and the girls spent the time touring around Beijing.
This request.
Isn’t too out of the blue.
"Anyway, your name carries weight." Zeng Rou also wanted to skip class for a couple of days with a good excuse.
"Alright then."
"Awesome, get to ride on a private jet again!"
"..."
Speaking of this annual meeting.
According to his personality.
He shouldn’t have attended last year, but he decided to make it a yearly trip. The main reason is that usually, he barely makes public appearances, and this annual meeting serves as a medium.
There.
You could meet nearly all the major Business tycoons in Huaxia.
And the media, any questions, ask them all at once.
Social Interaction.
Media.
Image.
All fixed in one go.
That way, he wouldn’t be bothered much normally and could work peacefully on his own things, without neglecting his social relationships, keeping up with a certain class.
This class.
Is the ’Huaxia businessmen’.
Being too antisocial.
Isn’t good.
Being too involved.
Also isn’t good.
The way it is now.
Is pretty good.
Not just this annual meeting.
At the beginning of the month.
The World Economic Forum also sent an invitation, asking him to go to Davos, Switzerland, next month to give a few keynote speeches, which Tang Qing couldn’t decline.
Davos has quite the reputation.
Every year.
Dozens of government heads.
Plus hundreds of ministers from various countries, and thousands of the global business elite attend, if talking about high-end levels, it’s the world-class ’Entrepreneur Annual Meeting’.
Those who receive speaking invitations.
Are without exception big shots.
Those invited.
The chairman of ERV and Kan Qin will both attend.
Finding out these two are going, this year, the heavy-weight guests are especially numerous. Tang Qing checked the list, and just for the state leaders, nearly twenty are on the agenda, with even more deputies.
Ministers and above from various countries.
Have broken past three hundred.
These people.
Most are interested in the Genetic Stabilizing Substance.
Guessing.
This year’s event will be bustling.
And Huaxia.
Every year sends a leader at least at the vice-premier level to lead the delegation, accompanied by a string of Commerce and trade, Economy, Development and Reform leaders, as well as heads of Central Enterprises with ’China’ in their names.
This time.
Tang Qing has been included in the Huaxia delegation, the reason is simple, like Ma Yun who came after him, Tang Qing started to have a wide range of Influence and recognition globally.
Even if Davos hadn’t invited.
The government would probably have to pull this ’homebody’ tycoon out.
To add prestige to Huaxia.
Well.
When the Big shot speaks, how can one refuse? Might as well go, it’s not a bad thing anyway, consider it a promotion for a few of his companies about to go public, and incidentally, expand some Upper class connections.
Sigh.
Just a life full of toil.
