Chapter 207 Welfare

ld self, she was as pure as a lotus flower, untouched by the world. His intervention changed some things, disrupted Tang Wu's destiny, and altered her life.A person's character develops over different...Chapter 207: Benefits

Before leaving Pudong Airport, Su Cen hung up many calls from all sides confirming whether he was leaving for the United States today. He also didn’t bother with the numerous text messages filling his phone. He had three phones—one used in daily life at Nan University, one specifically for Da Pa Luo Holdings to ensure that professional managers could contact him immediately, and another arranged for managing the Facebook affairs currently facing a storm—each of which he turned off one after another.

It was as if he temporarily closed down all his identities behind him. Not far away were Lin Guangdun, Mu Guotao, Liu Wenqiang, who were in Shanghai, and Kate, the newly appointed CEO of Facebook, who came to see him off at this moment.

The appointment of Kate as executive president caused a stir. To begin with, all possible candidates speculated by outsiders for this high-stakes position had fallen through one after another. Even employees inside Facebook were taken aback, but they soon realized that Kate was not someone who would side with Zuckerberg. Before the CEO handover, Su Cen and Kate had held multiple consultations, while the entire senior management team also clarified their doubts and accepted the appointment. This could be seen as a formal response to clear up any negative impact on Kate's reputation within the company.

When announcing this result in the board meeting, Su Cen said with double entendre, "It’s now time for you to fulfill your new responsibilities." Although he had already anticipated it beforehand, facing the applause of his former friends who had reconciled at that moment, Kate still welled up with tears.

This lifetime must have seen many moments that moved her emotionally. But then she felt that perhaps the most glorious part of her future career would be rooted in this land and created here.

She didn’t know if she belonged here, but even if one day she had to leave, or when she was old, sitting in a sunroom with little recollection of many things, she might not be able to forget the chapter of her life in China.

After finishing his final arrangements with everyone, Su Cen turned around and came to Tang Wu beside him.

Tang Wu, dressed in a blue pencil skirt suit for work, stood elegantly on one side. Her left hand rested on the wrist of her right hand, looking stunning against the backdrop of the airport terminal hall.

For the past two days, due to handling various procedures and contracts and sorting out luggage, Su Cen had not returned to Nan University but stayed in a penthouse apartment at Manhattan Premier with Tang Wu. On one occasion, he met the male and female owners from next door—the doctor and the government official—whose attitude towards them was unusually friendly. Through previous indirect inquiries, they knew both were students of Nan University. The fact that students of Nan University could own a rare vintage Bentley was enough to make people nervous at night.

It should be noted that last year’s disgraced Zhou Houzi (a wealthy and influential figure), whose car was reputedly the first Ferrari in Shanghai with license plate ending 017, drove a Ferrari F430. Was Su Cen's Bentley perhaps also the first one in Shanghai

Many people speculated that these two young people from next door might be descendants of extraordinary families. However, they couldn't have imagined that the young couple continuing their bachelor’s degrees at Nan University were actually behind the social networking giant and the main characters in the current flurry of news in Silicon Valley.

Tang Wu's family remained tight-lipped, so Su Cen still could not bring Tang Wu to the CEO position of Facebook. Even though she had nearly completed four years of university courses and studied Stiglitz’s "Economics," Denzil’s "International Economics," and advanced political economics by a pioneer in the domestic field. These books were not highly esoteric, but they provided an exceptionally solid foundation for basic theories. The rules and driving forces that shaped this society's economy and politics also originated from these basics.

During last year's EMBA program at Nan University to America, Tang Wu’s fluent interaction with international top investors and even the general manager of product international affairs at HP went smoothly, making a thirty-eight-year-old female professor in charge of interviewing candidates for the doctoral exam in finance from Nan University almost unable to put down her questions. She asked Tang Wu how many A's she got in professional English courses, what were her opinions on the textbooks written by the school, did she have plans for direct PhD programs, and if she was interested in working under him.

Though Tang Wu might not necessarily match up to those insane Ph.D.s from Nan University’s Economics Department in professional knowledge, at this stage, achieving such a level among undergraduate students of Nan University was incredibly rare and could hardly be described as "rare feathers." It was almost an uncharted territory. Who had ever seen such a young girl participating in the EMBA program

The girl who emerged from Nankai University is likely to be one of the few, if not the only one, at this age to achieve such excellence even among formidable competitors like Tsinghua and Peking Universities. No wonder Nan Kai regards her as a treasure; it's not just about the光環 (halo) brought by her background.

Inside Facebook, more and more employees are calling for her ascension to become their 'female emperor'. However, Su can hasn't yet dared to bring up his proposal of gradually promoting Tang Wu to vice president with Tang Wu's parents. This is probably due to the gap in family values that seems insurmountable at this moment.

Tang Wu approached and tidied up the slightly wrinkled collar of Su Can’s shirt, then softly said, "Come back early. I will wait for you here on your return day."

This elegant gesture touched a hidden string in Su Can's heart; he recalled this girl whom he once thought would never cross paths with him or if they did, she would fade from his life eventually. It seemed as though time had reverted to that summer during their student years when Tang Wu waited for him every day outside the school gate, her delicate hair and ears dampened by sweat due to the oppressive heat.

Now, he could do what he wanted back then but lacked the courage to execute.

Su Can hugged Tang Wu's slender waist; it was soft and smooth to his touch. He seized the moment to kiss her tenderly and reminded her, "You must eat breakfast every day; don't ruin your stomach... Oh."

Their intimacy stopped there, but this rather shocking act quickly heated up the grievances of those around them in the waiting hall. Tang Wu stepped back in alarm and lightly tapped his chest with a reproachful look in her clear eyes, "Hey, someone's here," she said, blushing.

Behind Tang Wu came a series of hacking coughs from an army of professional managers; they were reminding Su Can to be more discreet, as the future female empress of Facebook was much more popular and admired by young elites than he ever could be.

Su Can glanced at them with a mix of amusement and frustration, thinking to himself that if he couldn't enjoy some benefits before going off to battle, what sense did anything make

In Shanghai’s university town, the cafeteria at Shanghai International Studies University (SISU) had recently seen an increase in business. Previously criticized for short-changing students on food portions and for poor service by the school's logistics department, the cafeteria was now providing timely service that gave visiting inspectors a rare sense of achievement.

Many dorm-bound ‘netizens’ were now regularly appearing en masse, with some arriving at exact intervals to sit near windows where they could observe.

The girl who had recently stayed on campus diligently eating her meals at set times suddenly stood up and threw her phone into a soup bowl with a splash.

Miss Lin was about to bang the table in anger, "That damned Su Can! Daring not answer my call as he leaves; what's gotten into you"

Next to her, Lin Zhouwu had flown over from Henan specifically to see her. On his first day there, his dark and sturdy figure beside Lin Luoran made him look incredibly fierce, inspiring countless people to aspire with such intensity that it left them devastated.

"The tomato in this tomato egg soup looks very red and thick-skinned; could they have been airlifted from Henan" Zhouwu paused, his lips quivering. "Look, you just threw your phone into the soup."

Luoran shot him a glance, saying, "Yeah, I know that.

"The key point is... that's my phone."

"Xiao Wu, you really talk too much..." Lin Luoran half-closed her eyes and glanced at him disdainfully. "It’s mine; can I throw it away"

"Damn, you’re so cool." Then he saw Lin Zhouwu bouncing his butt up to take a ladle and scoop around.

The freshmen passing by were still enthusiastically introducing the cafeteria's special 'preparation' dish for the first-year students. They clearly wouldn't notice the naturally beautiful Lin Luoran, so they collectively witnessed Lin Zhouwu, who ruined the scenery, fishing out a black cube phone from the tomato and egg soup. Thus, the entire dining hall fell silent.

Lin Zhouwu wiped his beloved phone with toilet paper and said, "I am your big brother after all; can't you stop calling me Xiao Wu every day Show some respect and call me Brother."

"Your mother’s brother." Lin Luoran, who hadn’t eaten but was now filled with anger, stood up and left the cafeteria with Lin Zhouwu. Then she gently held onto Lin Zhouwu's thick arm and asked, "Be honest; do any girls in school hold your arm like this"

Lin Zhouwu patted his bicep and said, "No one dares to hold an arm that you, Lady Lin, have touched. You indirectly ruined my youth, but my youth is as important as my chastity."

"My roommates like guys who are rugged, muscular, strong, and robust; I ruined your youth, do you want me to ruin the other equally important thing" Lin Luoran’s seductive eyes narrowed.

“If I shamelessly say that I can handle multiple tasks, would you kick me to death right here…”

Ling Luoran tilted her head and said in a cute voice, "No, how could it be You’re my brother... And recently, I plan to respect you."

“Su Zhan is well-off and has a strong presence. But he willingly stays at Nan University just for the sake of his pure university life and beautiful girls in white dresses. Your roommates will definitely like him; if I say that I’m not as good as him and give my spot to Su Zhan who works diligently, would you beat me up”

Lin Luoran’s demonic eyes flashed with killing intent, "Try saying that again..."

As Lin Zhouwu walked around the campus of Fudan University with his mischievous sister, many people watching this scene between a beautiful woman and a beast felt their hearts chill.

When Lin Luoran was holding hands with Lin Zhouwu and her phone rang, she saw it was a text message. It simply said, "I’m boarding the plane."

In that moment, despite all the emotions building up within Lin Luoran, she didn't start an inquiry; instead, she smiled faintly for no reason. This gentle smile wasn’t seen often by those who paid attention to her. Walking down a path where leaves were falling, she tapped out a text on her phone with slender fingers, her long hair cascading past her jade-like wrist as the sound of typing echoed softly: "Deal with things quickly and get back here."

At the sunny and bright Capital Airport,

A private jet bound for the United States is on standby. The aircraft, with a predominantly white and blue color scheme, is a Brazilian-made ERJ145 turbofan airliner. Even before it parked at the Capital Airport, it had received special approval from the aviation authority. This may well be the only privately-owned plane waiting to take off at the entire airport. At this moment, the aircraft was slowly moving into position on the tarmac, awaiting the arrival of its main passengers.

Soon after, a black車隊，幾乎全部由奧迪A6組成，駛入了飛機停放區域。而在七輛黑色長蛇陣般的車隊旁邊，還行駛著一輛奔馳S600，氣勢非凡。

這些車輛相繼停在空地的半弧形車列中。率先從那輛奔馳S600上下來的正是結束了幾個大型投資項目活動後返回北京的紅杉資本唐·瓦倫坦，而他的搭檔莫瑞茨則一個月前就已回到美國，為他們此次的大事做準備。

那些車牌就能看出來來曆不凡的奧迪車門相繼打開，走出來的人大部分都是副部級官員。詹化似乎是他中唯一一個身份與這些官員不同的人物。

他下車後，看到旁邊的黑西裝保鏢為高恒打開了車門，走出了一身藏青色休閒西裝打扮的高恒。的確很有魅力，一身套裝讓他看起來筆挺而英氣逼人，再配合他的身份，應該就是所有完美形象的來源。

高恒與前來送行的幾位高級官員一一握手。調動軍機赴美，眾人眼中並不會認為眼前的高恒是魯莽或紈絝之輩，相反更覺得這是他個人散發出來的強大魄力。

唐·瓦倫坦先上了飛機。

詹化還在勸說高恒：“勝券在握，這次你都不用親自去。隻需要靜候拿下那個人的好訊息。”

高恒點了一支菸，笑了笑，“我對矽穀那個地方很感興趣。也想親眼看到整個過程。如果錯過了這樁好戲連番登場的曆史大事，人生豈不是要徒增一些遺憾？”

在長三角翻雲覆雨的金融巨頭以及擁有顯赫家族背景的衛冕王子，在一群高係官員和政商兩棲人物的送彆下登上了飛機。登機時還傳來專機空姐集體的聲音，“首長好。”

這架連女空乘都屬於空軍係統的專機，直刺雲霄，飛往加利福尼亞。

幾乎在同一時刻，蘇燦也抵達了燈火輝煌的美國機場。望著那些繁華璀璨的城市燈光，蘇燦感慨萬千。

今天向大家報告一下，早上十點起床後，領導突然說很久冇陪她逛街了，心中不忍，於是出門，六點回來後一直在碼字到現在。今天碼得比較慢，但相信對得起大家的等待。

但是下一章可能需要通宵才能寫出來。今天就算是正常更新，明天第五天三更爆發。
