Translator: _Min_Editor: Rundi
Bava is one of the larger states in Frankberg, the state capital's Ber's political and economic status was only second to the capital of Frankberg. Its basic infrastructure and educational resources are among the frontier in Europe. The Ber Industrial University and other top education institutions are among the top destinations for international students.
Among the individual circles among international student, the Hua international students were among the biggest and the most united among the other organizations. With the Hua Student Organization as the biggest among the universities, it even posed an influence onto the Hua circle in Frankberg.
When the Student Organization Leader Chen Yuqiao saw Jiang Chen was invited by Daimler Corporation to participate in the Ber Auto Exhibition on October 31st, she immediately had an idea. It was the perfect opportunity as the organization was planning an university level student event. If they could invite the ”Oriental Bill Gates” to speak a few words, it would be a huge boost to the organization among international students and even to those outside of the sphere of influence.
At the same time, as the leader of the organization, it would be a prominent experience on her resume.
Other than that, she still had other plans. She studied Economics and International Trades at the University of Ber. Her grades were exception enough to work in Frankberg, but due to the economic downturn in Europe, she was not pleased with the salaries with the companies she contacted. As someone heading into fourth year, she needed a plan for her future.
Future Technology was expanding its international presence. The investors were not the only ones who were confident with Future Group's future, job seekers with foresight were also confident. If she could demonstrate her organization ability in front of Future Group's president, it would indeed be an option in her future job searching.
But what troubled her was how to contact Jiang Chen.
Until a twitter from her friend caught her attention.
It was a selfie. The background of the selfie was the side door of the university library. The man on the phone was exactly Jiang Chen, and that student happened to take on a role in the student union. Since the student union had a friendly relationship with the student organization, she followed her twitter.
What a coincidence!
When she saw the twitter, she immediately rushed to the library and asked the librarian if she had seen Jiang Chen. Unfortunately, the fifty years old librarian didn't follow anything else other than the library itself, so she had no impression of the name Jiang Chen. But when she showed the photo on Twitter, the librarian immediately realized.
It was the guy that got kicked up because of excessive noise in the library.
Although Chen Yuqiao was dumbfounded by the fact the librarian kicked Jiang Chen out, she still patiently inquired about the situation from the stubborn elder.
When she heard that a male student met with Jiang Chen, she immediately used her relationship in the student body to obtain video footage to determine that the male student's name was Xie Lei.
Xie Lei seemed to rarely participate in student organization events, so his name didn't appear in the student organization's list. But it was okay; she somehow obtained his contact information from the student union.
Although she knew it may be too intrusive, she gritted her teeth and called the number on the guardian information.
”Hello?” Jiang Chen picked up the phone.
”Hello, are you Mr. Jiang Chen?” Chen Yuqiao tried her best not to sound nervous.
”That's right. And you are?” A young voice that Jiang Chen had no impression of.
When she received the affirmative answer, she was ecstatic.
”My name is Chen Yuqiao, the leader of the Han Student Organization…”
Chen Yuqiao politely explained that she wished to invite Jiang Chen as a special guest to give a speech at the international student gala for a few words on artificial intelligence, virtual reality, or the industry's future.
Although she practiced multiple times in front of the mirror, Chen Yuqiao still felt anxious. On the other side of the phone was the owner of a one hundred billion dollar tech company and his investment stretched beyond the border of the internet, from nutrient supply to deep water mining, the footsteps of Future Group spanned through different industries.
But Jiang Chen's response exhilarated her.
”My flight is the day after tomorrow in the afternoon, is tomorrow night okay?”
”No problem! We'll adjust our time accordingly, thank you so much!” Chen Yuqiao couldn't stop thanking him over the phone.
Jiang Chen only smiled.
Since he had no specific plans for the entire day tomorrow, there was nothing wrong with participating in the international student gala. Especially a speech given by the Future Group's president at a top education institution would increase Future Group's influence among the students. Future Group's future employees will be hidden amongst them.
”No need, but don't have your hopes too high. I'm just here to say a few words.”
