Jiang Chen woke up early the next day.

It seemed Ayesha stayed in the training chamber for the entire night but still managed to wake up before he did to make breakfast.

Although he was eager to ask about her opinions on the virtual reality training system, as he opened his mouth, Ayesha’s face became a dusk-red.

Hmm? Jiang Chen figured it was better not to ask, so he gave up.

After breakfast, he pestered Ayesha to avoid focusing so much that she forgot her meals before heading down to the garage and driving his luxury Maybach to the company.

When he arrived, Jiang Chen saw that Xia Shiyu was already waiting for him while constantly checking the time. He smiled grimly when saw the thick briefcase.

The girl was too much of a workaholic—the day had just begun.

”You’re late by two minutes.”

Opening the car door, Xia Shiyu settled into the front passenger seat.

”Ahem, isn't the first sentence supposed to be good morning?” Jiang Chen tried to crack a joke before he started the car.

She put on the seatbelt and after a brief pause, murmured, ”Because it is work time.”

”Do you take the subway every day? That's too inconvenient. Why don't I give you a car? You have your license, right?” Jiang Chen casually said.

”That wouldn't be good for the company. It has yet to develop a method of stable revenue, and you are already providing benefits to the executives.” Xia Shiyu's eyebrows furrowed, her hands clenched on the briefcase as she focused on its button.

”It’s okay. It would be too embarrassing for the CEO of a trillion dollar company to have no ride. You don't have to worry about revenue generation; the Future 1.0 functions have yet to be fully unlocked. For example, antivirus, social media platforms, and even replacing the original operating system. Are you still worried about revenue generation?” He smirked confidently.

Drawn by the confident smile, she was immediately shocked by the new information. She abruptly said, ”Future 1.0 already has other functions? Why didn't you tell me?”

Her eyes looked accusingly at him, as if he had neglected her.

He did not purposely hide it, just that he had forgotten it in the back of his mind.

”Ahem, of course, it's based on strategic considerations. Future 1.0 can grow right now because we are not in a direct competition with apps under other tech giants. That means we can still work with them given the opportunity.”

It was no wonder Xia Shiyu was made to be a CEO; she immediately understood his intention.

Since she didn’t need to focus on monetary concerns anymore, the initial stage was focused on reinforcing their place in the market. Once a large enough user base was established, it would take guts to try and shake Future 1.0’s position.

Wanghai University.

On the grassy fields stood a stone on which the mighty strokes of ink showed the mark of time on its surface—Wanghai University.

It was rumored that the stone had witnessed the fall of a dynasty and the rise of a republic. It was present during the merciless gunfires and passionate speeches. Not once did it alter itself to fit an era; the only thing that changed were the people passing by.

He watched the countless lively figures, reminiscing about the past.

Truth be told, he never expected to return to his school. He did not leave much of an impact, so at reunions, he would not have much to do.

He could not help but exclaim at the miracle that is life. In just one and a half year’s time, he managed to return as the president of Future Technology to hire at his own school, to hire new talents from the place that had taught him.

”Now that I think about it, we are both alumni, so how come you became the manager right away and I became your employee? ” Jiang Chen joked around lightheartedly.

Along the way, countless envious looks were directed at Jiang Chen. Of course, he knew it was towards the car, not himself.

A Maybach S600—a decent number of people recognized the price of the car. But the tinted windows blocked the curiosity of the young men and women, leaving them with their imaginations.

To be honest, he enjoyed receiving this sort of envy.

Because when he rode his bicycle down the same road, no one gave him a second look.

”Now the situation has turned around, hasn't it?” Xia Shiyu said mockingly.

She knew Jiang Chen was not the type to hold on to the past, so she was not sensitive about the topic either.

Jiang Chen didn't disagree, only smiling and enjoying the fulfilment.

It was not long before they entered the parking lot of the library. Under the guidance of the two student union leaders responsible for greeting, they arrived at the event hall.

The hiring fair would start promptly at 9 o'clock, and there was still half an hour left.

”Senior Jiang Chen, I hope you don't make it too difficult for our juniors.”

”Of course, but Miss Xia Shiyu will be the one mostly responsible for the hiring,” he answered. Jiang Chen had a positive impression of this ponytailed student union leader.

”Many seniors who are applying today are your fans,” student union leader Zhang Bingli said as she blinked.

”Oh? My fans?” Jiang Chen sat up, interested.
