Su Cen then roughly told Tang Wu about the process of encountering Song Zhen during his fundraising trip to Facebook, as well as this girl's background and their commercial relationship.

Tang Wu listened quietly and nodded. She looked at Su Cen with bright eyes, "But why is what you said different from what I heard"

Su Cen felt a bit nervous; he had no idea how Lin Luoran had exaggerated her account to Tang Xiaowu behind his back. He could only say, "From now on, everything will be based on my version."

Tang Wu blinked and then burst into laughter, pointing at the bookstore next to them, "Is that Song Zhen"

Su Cen followed where she was pointing; it was an industry-renowned men's magazine with Song Zhen on the cover. She wore a pencil skirt and black玳瑁 glasses, with several strands of her hair loosely hanging over her face against a backdrop of a suburban lawn and a yellow Lamborghini. Especially under such lighting, her hands placed above and below her waist highlighted her assertiveness and beauty in full, exuding femininity and allure.

At the top was this issue's infuriating title: "Song Zhen – The Elusive Woman Men Can't ‘Grab’."

The title carried Song Zhen’s unique aura of dominance. Su Cen knew that this must be part of a coordinated effort by Song Zhen's family in the background. Apart from her participation in a Paris fashion show during high school, she had been relatively unknown while attending university and studying in America. However, upon returning to China and taking on business responsibilities, she also needed to connect with media and maintain a certain level of exposure.

At this point, her inherent talent found new opportunities for display. As a result, due to the deliberate information released by the Senkan Group, Song Zhen's fame rose rapidly within a short period after returning home. Some people who felt they had the qualifications to associate with her naturally became active.

But the key issue was that while Su Cen and Tang Wu were discussing their relationship here, the timing of this magazine’s appearance was too suspicious.

"Yes, this girl was a model for a period during high school. Later, she returned to her destined path. I didn't expect her to run into Zhao Hao after returning from her MBA studies and establish connections through business dealings."

Su Cen could only nod in explanation. The main problem was that this damn magazine seemed to take it for granted that any man would find it hard to resist Song Zhen's irresistible charm, yet the current relationship between Su Cen and Song Zhen wasn't exactly rosy.

As Tang Wu looked at Song Zhen on the magazine stand, Su Cen noticed her usually icy blue eyes slightly narrowed imperceptibly.

The delicate and serene face, with its slightly pointed chin, became even more alluring under the play of light and shadow.

This subtle movement, akin to a cat's, would usually make many men who observed her feel dizzy with desire. But right now, Su Cen couldn't help but feel a sudden chill in his heart. It was extremely unusual for the typically cold and graceful Tang Wu to act this way. Yet somehow, it made him feel warm inside.

This proved that indeed, men are despicable creatures who will seize any opportunity to take advantage of others.

"I'll have one," said Tang Wu as she walked up to the kiosk. Her slender calves were incredibly smooth and full, inviting thoughts beyond propriety. She then took out fifteen yuan from her bag and picked up that magazine.

The area around Nan University從來不缺乏美女，但這一刻書亭老闆望著唐嫵就連那兩毛錢都忘了找補。蘇燦很想從老闆臉上努力分辨他的是不是一貫用這種偷殲耍滑手段占了南大無數美女便宜。never lacked beautiful women, but at this moment, the kiosk owner forgot to give back the change for Tang Wu. Su Cen really wanted to discern from the shopkeeper's face whether he usually used such sly tactics to take advantage of countless beautiful girls around Nan University.

Almost immediately after that, Tang Wu turned around and smiled at Su Cen, saying, "I suddenly remembered I need a book underneath my hot water pot in the dormitory. This one's thickness is just right."

Tang Wu, you are lying to fools.

To spend fifteen yuan on a book to put under a hot water pot Just grabbing a stack of promotional pamphlets from school clubs would serve the same purpose and at much lower cost. This simply wasn't the style of Tang Xiaomu, who appeared cold but was actually meticulous.

But with such an obvious excuse combined with Tang Wu's ambiguous expression, she probably conveyed more information than intended. Su Cen could only nod in agreement.

Tang Wu gave him a meaningful look with her beautiful eyes and held the book to her chest. With her cold, soft hand clasping onto his five fingers from behind, she whispered, "Let's go back."

Feeling the delightful sensation of Tang Wu’s cool fingertips through her touch, Su Cen felt moved; he could sense the delicate nature of this girl and the gentle warmth hidden beneath her icy exterior.

"Are you okay with a little kiss" Su Cen reached out to embrace Tang Wu's slim waist.

Such an enchanting scene was within easy reach, filled with beauty that could be enjoyed effortlessly.

"Su Cen, let go of me. There are a lot of people here," Tang Wu nervously reached out to pat Su Cen's chest. Although it wasn't the main thoroughfare, this side road in the park was still bustling with activity.

"What's there to be afraid of Anyway, nobody knows us." With over 30,000 students at Nan University, Su Cen felt that not being too famous had its advantages. He could leisurely wander around the campus anywhere he wanted.

Under the lush paulownia trees in this campus and on roads where one could smell the fragrance of grass leaves baked by the sun, there were many couples who longed for such an embrace that would never be broken. But those familiar scents they once cherished and the person they thought they could always hold onto were soon forgotten as time passed them by.

Fate left no strength in people to cling tightly anymore, nor did it leave behind the scent of grass leaves baked dry by the sun from their memories.

Su Cen wrapped his arms around Tang Wu's curvaceous body through her thin clothing, inhaling her alluring fragrance, and said, "Honey, I once gave a speech on what happiness is. Looking back now, being with you, not worrying about life in the future, going wherever we want around the world without any regrets, striving hard for our future—that's truly happiness."

Tang Wu turned to hug Su Cen's shoulder blades lightly and rested her head against his collarbone, nodding.

This was the most touching love declaration she had ever heard.

Not that I love you, but being together.

In this era of youth being like toilet paper—there's plenty to see, but it all goes quickly when used up.

Su Xiaocan and Tang Xiaowu, who sought to break the curse of fate and fight against their future, were still resolutely heading towards a dim yet clearly defined future.

**After Li Pengyu completed his handover at Merlion Tower, he served as Su Cen's special assistant, specifically tasked with filtering out information for him from different perspectives on the technical side, and handling some basic writing tasks. Su Cen hoped to cultivate Li Pengyu into someone like Qiao Shuxin who could handle things independently.

Su Cen had deeper expectations for Li Pengyu's future: he wanted Li Pengyu to immerse himself in his industrial chain, even entering Big Pineapple Holdings, and becoming a key aide like Lin Guangdong, the core figure of his business circle.

On Qiao Shuxin’s first day at work, he handed over some source codes of FaceBook Chinese version to Li Pengyu. Treasuring them as if they were rare treasures, Li Pengyu meticulously studied and pondered upon the programming rules and style of FaceBook's source code.

Su Cen couldn't understand Li Pengyu's surprise on his face. In combination with Su Cen's memories from his previous life, it was a kind of radiance that he could only see in drug addicts. So Su Cen pointed at the back view of Li Pengyu, who sat down in front of the computer like an iron tower and started researching the source code of Facebook, asking, "Is the Facebook source code really so attractive"

Qiao Shuxin laughed and said, "Every internet product bears its own imprint, just like every piece of software carries the mark of its creator. To outsiders, it's a string of dull numbers and an overwhelming amount of disordered data. But to us programmers, we understand the beauty in these seemingly disorderly data arrangements, just as mathematicians have a special affection for numbers. A good programmer should see this code as something awe-inspiring and beautiful, which is true art."

As a technical soldier with military honors, Li Pengyu was also an expert at programming. In the strong competition of Facebook Chinese, if Li Pengyu were familiar with the internal coding rules, he might be able to catch up with Zhang Guo and Victor who lead two major technical project teams, second only to Qiao Shuxin, a top hacker from Silicon Valley.

On his first day in the seventeenth floor of May Rose Building where Facebook Chinese was located, Li Pengyu knew he had come to the right place. The rich humanistic atmosphere and technical ambiance permeated everywhere, along with an overwhelming vitality that made Li Pengyu (nicknamed K'unpeng) feel unprecedented excitement. He wished he could start working without wasting any time here alongside Su Cen, creating miracles for the Internet 2.0 era together with Facebook from America.

Since Li Pengyu was a combination of an executive assistant and chauffeur, after eating in the restaurant near the floor-to-ceiling windows at Facebook Chinese, Su Cen took him to the parking lot downstairs and threw him the car keys.

Li Pengyu stroked the Bentley sedan, feeling that he had merged into one with it, saying, "It's a good car. If those guys from Lu Nan know about this, they would definitely cry to come over."

The initial gap and aloofness Li Pengyu felt when he first came to Shanghai were easily shattered by a series of arrangements. Li Pengyu believed that he should have been integrated into the work and new life in front of him, even if not fully.

** Su Cen received a call from Lin Guangdong, who brought an unexpected piece of information: "A few days ago when I was drinking with a deputy general manager of a major media group, I vaguely heard something. There really is someone trying to smear Song Zhen. The CEO of that media group used to have connections at the Office Hall and still has strong connections now, so he knows there are people wanting to talk about Sincal Group. It's unclear if it's from competitors behind the scenes, but since it can alarm my friend, whoever is doing this must be someone influential—seems like more than one bigwig is joining forces to use their media resources to besiege Song Zhen."

Someone wanted to use the media to attack Song Zhen and her Sincal Group. Su Cen didn't know when this news would explode, but through Lin Guangdong's intelligence network, he could detect some slight movements at the top.

"I know Zhao Hao has been dealing with her. Sincal Group is also a well-known Chinese enterprise; Song Zhen seems to be the second daughter of the group’s chairman. But I don't think it will be easy to find any flaws in them. Is this Song Zhen your friend Should we intervene and help"

"Just keep an eye on this for me." Although she had business dealings with him, making her a recognized acquaintance of his, Su Cen didn’t see more reason for him to get involved in these events.

After hanging up Lin Guangdong's call, Su Cen fell into deep thought.
