Shenyin Technology.

The lobby on the first floor had a height of 16 meters. Animated robots with a clean, white finish walked around to check the workers.

Every person who came to Shenyin for the first time would inevitably be shocked by the realistic-looking robots that seemingly came straight out of a sci-fi movie. Even employees who came to work every day still sometimes looked at these robots in charge of security checks and fell into a trance .

This was the confidence of Shenyin Technology.

It was able to bring together top-level technical personnel from all over the country, and it was constantly absorbing new ones.

Who would have thought that the founder of such a tech giant was just an ordinary student back then, and its start-up capital was obtained entirely by selling its technology.

He Bai stood in front of the access control gate, lowered his eyes, and opened his arms to let the robot scan him.

He remembered that at the beginning of his freshman year in university, Cheng Liu was already the most famous student in school—no matter which major, as long as her name was mentioned, everyone would know of her.

He Bai had a good family background, so he majored in finance as a matter of course. He had only been in school for a month, and he had already been forced to hear Cheng Liu’s name on various occasions. Even the teachers of his major mentioned her occasionally.

Software engineering major, genius, really knew how to make money.

This was He Bai’s impression of Cheng Liu before actually meeting her.

A technician who can do business—He Bai could almost imagine what this kind of person looked like.

Someone who was very  eloquent, had high emotional intelligence, treated people kindly, and did not easily make excuses. On the other hand, such people were generally shrewd and hypocritical.

He Bai had stood with his parents since he was a child, and he had seen too many people like this.

At that time, He Bai had no inkling that he would become one of Cheng Liu’s fans in the future.

The two met for the first time some three months later when the Financial Technology Association held a brainstorming session, inviting students from freshman to junior years to participate.

He Bai was one of the three freshman representatives. In fact, he was not interested in this kind of play-by-play discussion at school, and he probably would have learned more just by going to a banquet with his parents.

However, building good relationships with classmates in school was a necessary requirement for business, even if he didn’t care much about the topic.

That night, He Bai went early, and there was only one other person sitting at the round table allocated for their group.

It was a girl with a low ponytail, dressed head to toe in clothes that would have, at most, cost three hundred yuan. She was the most ordinary and unremarkable participant from the university.

She kept her head down and played with her mobile phone. From the time He Bai pulled out a chair to sitting opposite her, she never once looked up.

Half an hour later, she pulled out a candy from her pocket and unwrapped it with one hand. It was when she had just put the candy into her mouth that she seemed to have finally realized that there was an extra person sitting at the table with her.

“Fellow student?” she said, looking at He Bai who was seated opposite her. Then she took out another candy and threw it to him, “Take this candy, please.”

He Bai would always remember the way Cheng Liu looked at that time, with a casual look and a smile in her eyes.

“Thank you.” He Bai took the candy but didn’t eat it.

After a few simple greetings, the two did not talk again until the others arrived one by one.

At that time, He Bai didn’t know that she was Cheng Liu, but he noticed that the people who came into the hall often looked at her.

That was an extremely rare situation for him.

With an outstanding appearance paired with excellent clothing, He Bai had always been the focus of the crowd. Regardless of men or women, he was always the first person that people noticed.

The girl on the opposite side of the table was indeed good-looking, but her eyebrows and eyes were heroic, and she was dressed in ordinary clothes, which made people feel no sense of distance. Normally, such a person wouldn’t get so many people’s attention.

What kind of important person could she be?

He Bai guessed her identity in his heart.

Soon enough, his guess was confirmed by the chairman’s introduction. This person was the famous Cheng Liu.

For a moment, He Bo was a little disappointed.

Cheng Liu was too different from what he imagined: neither a crazy technician nor a shrewd businessman.

She looked so ordinary.

During the brainstorming that followed, He Bai’s disappointment only deepened. The other party seemed to have no point to make at all and said nothing.

Towards the end, the topic of discussion was handed over to He Bai. Compared with these seniors in school, he had been exposed to many things early by his family, and his views were deeper than others his age or even a bit older.

Everyone quieted down and listened to his points, and some even applauded. In the end, He Bai felt that it was boring, so he took the initiative to stop there.

At this time, Cheng Liu, who was sitting across from him and had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up and asked a few questions about everything he had said.

In a tone that was sharp at all, could even be said to be gentle, Cheng Lui directly—almost brutally—stripped the true face of He Bai’s words, so that everyone could see that he was only building a crumbling structure.

He Bai hurriedly raised his eyes to look at Cheng Liu sitting across from him. Only then did he realize that the sharpness in her eyes was not something ordinary people could have.

That night, he met the real Cheng Liu.

Later, He Bai mentioned to Cheng Liu his impression of her that night and how it changed drastically by evening’s end.

Cheng Liu thought for a moment and corrected him, “I spent a total of one hundred and thirty-six yuan from head to toe.”

Recalling the past, the corners of He Bai’s lips couldn’t help but twitch. In reality, despite having a keen insight when it comes to work, Cheng Liu, in all other matters of life, was like a piece of blockwood.

Last night he pretended to be drunk, concealed his meaning, and even found the best angle to present his neckline and collarbone in front of her, but Cheng Liu was just puzzled and sent him back directly.

Thinking of what happened last night, He Bo felt helpless, this dissipated enough. People like her were probably just naturally insensitive to emotions.

He didn’t know how she got this new idea where she wanted to please her boyfriend and even spent so much money to buy a jade diorama.

As for Wang Hongyang…

He Bai didn’t intend to directly expose the other party’s actions. Instead of leaving an impression in Cheng Liu’s mind that he was needlessly meddling in her personal affairs, it would be better to find an opportunity for Cheng Liu to see with her own eyes what kind of person Wang Hongyang really was.

He was her chief assistant, and it’s part of his tasks to arrange Cheng Liu’s itinerary— this matter would be the easiest thing to accomplish.

… …

The security check over, He Bai passed through the gate and was about to continue walking when a familiar voice suddenly floated from behind him.

“Didn’t I tell you last night to take a day off today?”

After Cheng Liu left the Wenxing community for the second time that morning, she went to the company. As soon as she entered the gate, she saw the figure of her chief assistant, who was quite drunk last night.

He Bai turned around with a smile on his face, and when Cheng Liu neared, he said helplessly, “I’m already sober today; I was wrong last night.”

Employees who walked in from the gate at the same time as him lowered their heads, hiding the widening of their eyes. President Cheng and Chief Assistant He were… last night… what happened?

“Going to work while drunk, I can’t compare to you.” Cheng Liu strode in and reminded, “But when drunk, the body’s state is poor, and you’ll be prone to mistakes during work.”

He Bai nodded, “I understand.”

The employees passing by who had lowered their heads now looked up again. This… It turned out to be work, and they thought they heard some crazy gossip ah.
