C519 – The Meeting Began
“Well, it’s getting late.”
“Yeah, what’s the deal with Meng Haitao? Why hasn’t he arrived?”
“Let’s not grumble about it. He’s a successful businessman now; it’s to be expected that he might be a bit pretentious.”
A few professors murmured quietly among themselves.
Xie Haijun and Principal Ye, being the figureheads, remained composed. They exchanged a glance but remained silent.
?Meng Haitao was nowhere to be seen.
Several groups had been dispatched to look for him, but there was still no word.
?Later on, Su Ming also left to search.
With so many people looking, finding one person in the school should have been quick.
?At that moment, the door opened.
Su Ming entered, smiling.
?Seeing Su Ming, the auditorium erupted.
“Wow, is that Senior Su? He’s incredibly handsome!”
“Nonsense, he’s our senior, not yours!”
“Doesn’t matter, any Eastsea college makes him our senior!”
“Hmph! He’s not from your Eastsea Technology University!”
The girls were star-struck.
The boys looked on in awe.
Graduates from both schools nearly came to blows.
The professors and teachers on stage stood up, applauding.
The entrepreneurs in attendance joined in the applause.
Since the meeting had been hastily arranged that morning, everyone who could make it that afternoon was from Eastsea, except for the out-of-towner Meng Haitao.
It was no joke.
Who wasn’t aware of Su Ming’s fame?
Who wouldn’t show him due respect?
Su Ming chuckled and gestured with his hand.
?”Oh no, I’m feeling dizzy!”
“Quick, a girl has a nosebleed! She’s fainted!”
“Mr. Su has entered, Mr. Su has made his mark!”
“Why the hell are you pulling my hair? Damn it, get off my leg, stop stepping on me, can you even see Mr. Su properly?”
The auditorium descended into chaos.
Thankfully, security guards were there to keep order.
It wasn’t too out of control.
?Then, another person entered from behind the door.
Upon seeing this individual, everyone froze.
?The room fell silent.
Everyone was as still as a statue, not moving an inch.
To the uninformed, it would appear as though a spell had been cast.
Time seemed to have stopped.
“Who’s this guy?”
“I have no idea.”
“What’s with the red footprints all over his face and body?”
“And why is there a huge patch of red paint on his back?”
“This can’t be a clown Mr. Su hired for a performance, can it?”
“That doesn’t make sense. Today’s event is a job seminar, not a variety show.”
A wave of confusion swept through the crowd.
Murmurs filled the air.
Meng Haitao wished he could just disappear.
But no!
I refuse to be defeated!
Sure, I may look pitiful, but my worth is undeniable!
I’m a shining star!
Later, when I stand before this crowd, I’ll speak with fervor.
I will turn this around!
With that thought, Meng Haitao’s embarrassment vanished.
He walked forward with his head held high and his chest puffed out.
“Could he be mentally ill?”
“It doesn’t seem like it.”
“Hey, doesn’t his face resemble the butts you see on Tieba?”
“It’s uncanny!”
Meng Haitao felt like he could spit blood hearing the surrounding chatter.
Like a butt, my foot!
It’s your face that looks like a butt!
Xie Haijun and Principal Ye were puzzled as well.
They exchanged glances.
Who is this person?
He’s not on the guest list, is he?
Xie Haijun frantically searched through today’s guest photos.
No sign of this man!
Wait, why did Mr. Su return alone?
Where’s Meng Haitao?
Couldn’t find him?
Su Ming and Meng Haitao approached the podium.
Principal Ye and Xie Haijun greeted them.
“Mr. Su, we appreciate your efforts.”
“Mr. Su, you personally went to find someone. We’re quite embarrassed.”
“Please, Mr. Su, take a seat.”
They said in a rush.
“And this is…”
After exchanging pleasantries, their attention turned to Meng Haitao.
They simply couldn’t recognize him.
His face was swollen, his clothes in disarray, red footprints all over, and a large swath of red paint on his back.
Did he escape from a circus?
“Ah, weren’t you looking for Meng Haitao? Here he is.”
Su Ming said cheerfully.
“Ah?!”
The two principals were dumbfounded.
What in the world was this?
Mr. Su, this is no time for jokes.
Where did you find such an indescribable…
?Person?
Or…
Monkey?
The two principals blinked in surprise.
They quickly flipped through the photo album.
?There, Meng Haitao’s beaming face shone brightly from the page.
The contrast was striking.
Tsk, tsk, tsk!
He looked nothing like his picture.
But if Mr. Su said it was him, then it must be.
But how did he end up like this?
The two principals were baffled.
Yet, one thing was certain.
?They recognized the sleaziness that clung to this guy, identical to the one in the photo.
Such a quality was rare among ordinary people.
“Ah, Student Meng, please, have a seat,” Xie Haijun said, his smile more forced than genuine.
?What in the world was this?
I was hoping you’d come here to make a good impression.
You…
Well, it would be a relief if you just didn’t make things worse.
Let it be.
Having Mr. Su here today is enough.
Everyone took their seats.
Xie Haijun rose to his feet. Despite Principal Ye being more renowned, this was Eastsea Technology University, Xie Haijun’s turf. Clearing his throat, he grabbed the microphone. “Ladies and gentlemen, students, teachers, and esteemed alumni, welcome to today’s employment seminar!”
“Today marks the collaborative employment research conference between Eastsea Technology University and Eastsea University.”
“We’re here to engage in a thorough discussion on the current challenges of finding employment.”
“Needless to say, both institutions have cultivated many exceptional students over the years, who have gone on to make significant contributions to society.”
“Today, we have some of those accomplished alumni here to share their success stories.”
“We hope that their insights will deeply resonate with those of you about to embark on your own professional journeys. Let’s all take this opportunity to learn from their experiences.”
“Please join me in welcoming them!”
Applause filled the room.
The first student took the stage.
He was notably tall.
His complexion was fair.
Dressed sharply in a suit with gleaming leather shoes, he certainly looked the part.
“Hello, fellow students. I am a proud graduate of Eastsea Technology University.”
“I am grateful to the Principal for his dedicated guidance.”
“Just two years post-graduation, I established my own high-tech company.”
The male student spoke with a measured cough, his tone calm and collected.
“Wow!!!”
The audience erupted in amazement at his words.
Principal Xie’s face was beaming with pride.
He couldn’t resist straightening his posture.
He had truly outdone himself!
Even though I might not know you, I might not even remember you!
But still!
Ultimately, it’s my job to cultivate talents like you, talents that bring honor to me!
The students in the audience were also full of genuine admiration.
What is it that society values today?
Technology!
Technology has the power to transform lives and shape the future!
Think about all those shining examples of national pride.
How did they come to sparkle?
They built their fortunes on their own technological innovations.
To establish a tech company in just two years!
That is seriously impressive!
