Su Zhong was rigid in doing things. Since Xin Qianyu said, “I don’t want to talk to you now. Let’s talk when my project is over.” Su Zhong did not talk to Xin Qianyu and had been waiting for Xin Qianyu’s project to end.
Xin Qianyu felt he had fallen into a single-sided “cold war” again.
After the contract had been successfully signed at the AA Association, Mr Wilder, chairman of the association, also cordially took a photo with Xin Qianyu. Rebecca watched from the side in a cold sweat, afraid that Xin Qianyu would complain to Mr Wilder. At the same time, Rebecca felt it was very strange. Mr Wilder seemed very familiar with Xin Qianyu. In that case, it should have been easy for him to get the contract signed. Why did he specifically have to find my weak point and force me to give in?
Of course, Rebecca did not dare to ask, nor did she dare to say anything.
She increasingly felt that Xin Qianyu could not be offended. Following Mr Wilder’s words, she suggested it was better to hand over everything to Xin Qianyu in the future. By saying this, it was tantamount to kicking Xin Simu down.
Xin Qianyu felt that Rebecca was very insincere. After receiving so much money from Xin Simu, she now changed sides without much thought. But after thinking about it carefully, Rebecca was not a sincere person at all. It was a pity that Xin Simu had invested the money.
Just as Xin Qianyu had said, don’t give away money if you can help it. If you give it away, you might not recoup the investment. Moreover, it was illegal and not worth it.
Mr Wilder was happy to offer favours and did not know Xin Simu. In his eyes, Xin Simu was a nobody. But Xin Qianyu was not. He was the boyfriend of their sponsor’s father’s friend. Although it sounded a bit weird, no matter how you looked at it, the scales should be tilted towards Xin Qianyu.
Therefore, Mr Wilder spoke and gave Yuzhuo Group the authorization of the examination centre. He also introduced Xin Qianyu to the person in charge of the accreditation educational certification body. In other words, Xin Qianyu could use such resources to help more schools within the group obtain accredited international certifications.
Such good news quickly returned to the group headquarters. The old man was very satisfied with the result. After all, the old man had always hoped that his school would have a higher degree of international recognition, and it was essential for his school to obtain more accredited certifications.
Xin Simu also made a lot of effort to pull strings for this, but unexpectedly, Xin Qianyu pulled the string within a week.
Xin Simu smiled bitterly and only said, “I guess Xiaoyu has a good fate.”
This phrase of “good fate” was particularly interesting.
If an observant person hears it, they would be able to understand its meaning: Xin Simu thinks that Xin Qianyu is not very capable, but his life is good, and he has the help of nobles.
The old man smiled and said, “First is fate, second is luck and third is feng shui. Good fate is the foundation of everything. Who doesn’t want the project to be in the hands of a lucky person?”
Xin Simu also realized that what she had just said was a bit sour, so she smiled and said, “Yes, Xiaoyu will definitely be able to lead our project.”
“Well, Xiao Mu, you are also very busy,” the old man said. “Leave overseas projects to Xiaoyu. He’s young, energetic, and can fly everywhere. Moreover, he has studied abroad and knows how to communicate with foreigners. What do you think?”
Since the old man could say this, he had already thought about it. Asking “What do you think” was just being polite. What else could Xin Simu think? Xin Simu could only say yes and hand the overseas projects over to him.
Several educational certification bodies with global influence were in the United States, and it was also of great significance to the Yuzhuo Group to establish a good relationship with them. In addition, there were some cultural and educational non-governmental organizations that could help the Yuzhuo Group increase its influence. Mr Wilder was very generous to take Xin Qianyu to an internal gathering in the industry, allowing him to make friends with more bigwigs in the international education field.
Although Mr Wilder said that he had an affinity with Xin Qianyu, and believed that Xin Qianyu was clever and intelligent, which was why he admired him and helped him. But Xin Qianyu knew that these opportunities were probably only obtained by the light of Su Zhong.
Wasn’t Xin Simu clever? Or intelligent? Or worth admiring?

However, Xin Qianyu was different. Xin Qianyu was much more significant than Xin Simu. When it came down to it, in Mr Wilder’s eyes, Xin Qianyu was not a person of Yuzhuo but a person of M-global.
In the past, everyone would give a thumbs up when they mentioned M-global. They were very envious when they heard that Su Zhong had jumped to Wall Street. Xin Qianyu did not have any real feelings about it. Didn’t he just change his place of work? Now, Xin Qianyu had finally experienced the influence of M-global firsthand, or as Ah Xiao called it, “the power of capital.”
Xin Qianyu also understood better why the old man was still tossing and turning over the company’s listing at such an old age. These days, capital was still king.
In fact, Xin Qianyu knew that he should be grateful to Su Zhong. Therefore, when M-global was going to hold a new banquet, and Su Zhong asked Xin Qianyu to go with him, Xin Qianyu let go of his “cold war thoughts” and agreed. Xin Qianyu asked Su Zhong, “When did you meet Mr Wilder?”
Su Zhong replied, “One of my clients is a sponsor of AA.”
Xin Qianyu was puzzled. “What? You ask clients to help you with things?”
“It’s not to help me with things. It’s to do me a favour.” Su Zhong said, “Moreover, I think there is equality between me and my clients.”
Xin Qianyu swallowed. He always felt like he was the little prince. Now it seemed like Su Zhong was the little prince. What was an employee who treated clients indifferently, if not a little prince?
However, even if Su Zhong was cold to his clients, the clients still liked him very much and were willing to hand over large sums of money to him.
Just because Su Zhong could manage funds very well.
When Su Zhong’s name broke through, some clients fought for Su Zhong, but Su Zhong never fought for clients.
At the banquet, some people took the initiative to talk to Su Zhong. “Actually, I have always admired you a lot. It’s like this. I have a billion here…”
Su Zhong said indifferently, “I’m sorry, my fund and asset management volume this year is full, and I don’t intend to arrange a new plan for the time being.”
The man did not give up and spoke for a long time, saying he could give him a lot of commissions, but Su Zhong was unmoved. Once he finalised his plan, the amount would be fixed, regardless of whether it was one billion. Even if it were ten billion, Su Zhong’s principle would not be violated.
The man was rejected harshly by Su Zhong, and he was silent for a long time, then asked, “When will appointments be open next year?”
Xin Qianyu stood next to him and almost choked. From Su Zhong, Xin Qianyu deeply realized the meaning of the words “arrogance because of one’s talent”.
Xin Qianyu went to the bathroom, and when he came out, he happened to meet the person with a billion yuan who had just asked Su Zhong to open a special account. Xin Qianyu gave him a slight smile. But the man walked up to Xin Qianyu, seeming like he was there specifically to block Xin Qianyu.
Xin Qianyu frowned. “Yes?”
The other party said very politely, “Our company also has a certain influence in the field of education. If you want, we can help your group’s schools quickly pass the certification for the University Alliance.”
One who offers unsolicited hospitality must be harbouring evil intentions.
Xin Qianyu did not feel he was charming enough for this big boss to inquire about his affairs, suddenly throwing an olive branch. Most likely, it was still stained with the light of Su Zhong. Xin Qianyu did not like to beat around the bush, so he said directly, “Thank you, but I’m already advancing this aspect. Also, Su Zhong and I never ask about each other’s work. If you want me to ask him to change his work plan, I’m afraid it won’t work.”
The other party smiled. “Since you speak so directly, then I will be direct. When something happened to you before, didn’t Su Zhong break his principle to wipe your ass and accepted one more client? I think since you have such a good relationship, as long as you speak, he won’t mind adding me as another client.”
Xin Qianyu was startled. He really did not expect such a thing to happen here.
It turned out that Ah Xiao’s boss was Mr Chen. Mr Chen wanted Su Zhong to manage bank assets, but Su Zhong refused on the grounds that his service quota was full. After Ah Xiao met Xin Qianyu and Su Zhong in the cafe that day, he had the idea of helping his boss solve the problem and persuaded Su Zhong to take action. Su Zhong listened to Ah Xiao and made an exception to help Mr Chen. In exchange, Mr Chen got the AA Association to treat Xin Qianyu as a guest of honour.
After learning the inside story, Xin Qianyu’s face changed, and his feelings became even more complex. He felt that he should be moved and thankful. However, he became even more depressed.
Xin Qianyu showed an even worse expression to the boss who blocked him outside the toilet. “I’m sorry, I don’t know what you’re talking about. However, I really will not interfere with his work. Please don’t bother me!”
The boss’s temper also flared up. He sneered and said, “Okay, leave it alone if you don’t care about it. Anyway, is there a shortage of fund managers on Wall Street? I just heard he’s good, so I had more patience and sincerity. If he’s not interested in my proposal, so be it. Why are you showing me attitude? What are you? Isn’t it your greatest achievement that you can have two fucks with Su Zhong, and he gives you two payments after he has a good time?”
Xin Qianyu had never been ridiculed like this before. His face flushed instantly, his fists clenched, and he really wanted to flatten this person’s nose.
But he did not do so.
Because the boss was right. Xin Qianyu really did not have the capital to show the big boss any attitude.
If Xin Qianyu could not control himself and gave the opponent a punch, he would be happy. But Su Zhong would have to assist. He did not want it to be like this.
In the past, when Xin Qianyu was by Su Zhong’s side as an “English teacher”, he was often secretly despised by people like Kevin, thinking that Xin Qianyu was with Su Zhong to climb socially. Xin Qianyu never cared much, mainly because it was not true. Just like if someone ran up to Jordan and said, “You’re so short”, Jordan would not care too much. At that time, Xin Qianyu had the aura of being the eldest son of the Yuzhuo Group, and he did not think there was anything wrong with him working at the grassroots level with a salary of several thousand yuan. After all, in his plan, he would soon become the CEO and embark on the pinnacle of his life. Therefore, no matter how the flies buzzed, Xin Qianyu could be like a proud lion and treat them as idiots.
But now, it was different.
Xin Qianyu found that not only was he getting farther and farther away from his proud self, he also seemed to be getting farther and farther away from his old self.
Others said that he, Xin Qianyu, was not worthy of Su Zhong, and it seemed that it was no longer snobbish, low-level talk.
Xin Qianyu gave the boss a cold look and returned to the banquet area. There were perfumed clothes and gorgeous hair, but Xin Qianyu felt a strong sense of rejection. Xin Qianyu stood next to Su Zhong and saw many people talking to Su Zhong, all discussing things that Xin Qianyu did not understand. Xin Qianyu stood there like a vase, and it did not work just to look good. What made Xin Qianyu even more uneasy was even Lilith, an HR personnel rather than a professional, could express a few opinions on the topics they discussed. She nodded and smiled, keeping up with the reasoning of the movers and shakers. As for Xin Qianyu, he had not even heard of many of the things they mentioned, let alone say anything, so he could only stand there with a dignified posture, straight back, and maintain a smile.
If he observed carefully, he would find that no one cared who Xin Qianyu was. They considered him Su Zhong’s male companion.
Because Xin Qianyu’s proud status as a young master was nothing in front of these financial bosses. They had never heard of the Yuzhuo Group, and Xin Qianyu felt he could not do it if he wanted to introduce it. A company like the Yuzhuo Group was a small fish and shrimp in the eyes of these predators.
Lilith noticed Xin Qianyu’s discomfort. She curved her red lips and smiled, asking Xin Qianyu, “Xiaoyu, what do you think?”
This sentence was matched with Lilith’s kind smile as if she was afraid that Xin Qianyu would be left out and let him participate in the discussion.
However, Xin Qianyu did not even understand what they were saying, let alone able to participate in the discussion. Lilith would only embarrass him by doing so.
The eyes of several people also fell on Xin Qianyu as if waiting for him to speak. Xin Qianyu took a deep breath and was about to say, “I think everyone’s opinions are very reasonable, but I agree with Su Zhong’s perspective more because this perspective was very interesting.” It had no sustenance, but it could be used all over the world. At least it would allow the conversation to continue, and the scene would not be awkward.
Unexpectedly, Xin Qianyu’s phone rang at this time.
Xin Qianyu thought to himself, Thank goodness. What a life-saving call. But there was an apologetic look on his face. “I’m sorry. It’s regarding work matters. Let me answer it.”
Everyone nodded politely.
Xin Qianyu held his phone and walked to a quiet place to answer it. The caller was his grandfather. It turned out that the old man wanted to inform him about the arrangements. He told him that he planned to hand over the group’s overseas projects to him, and asked if he was willing to accept this challenging task.
Although the old man is old, he was still very ambitious. He was not satisfied with only opening schools in China but also intended to expand the group overseas so the group would have an international influence and become a well-known education brand. For overseas expansion, there had been many difficulties, and Xin Simu’s performance in this regard was not very good. Therefore, after the old man saw Xin Qianyu’s potential, he decided to entrust Xin Qianyu with heavy responsibility.
Xin Qianyu felt a lot of pressure when he heard the news because it was very difficult for the group to run schools overseas. After all, the United Kingdom and the United States have formed a monopoly in the international education market, and it was difficult for Asian brands to blaze a trail. However, Xin Qianyu was still very happy to get such an opportunity.
The old man was already so old and still so ambitious. He was a fledgling young man. There was no reason he could not be passionate, right?
After agreeing with the old man, the old man sent the project-related documents to Xin Qianyu. Xin Qianyu felt that the banquet was quite boring, and now he had work to do again. After putting down the phone, he found Su Zhong and said that he had something to do and had to go back to the hotel first.
Su Zhong did not enjoy such banquets either, so he said, “Let me join you.”
Seeing that the two of them were leaving, Lilith smiled and said, “Are you leaving so soon?”
Xin Qianyu also said meaningfully, “Yes, I can go back by myself. If Zhong Ge has something to do, you don’t have to worry about me.”
Su Zhong said, “I’m fine, I’ll send you.”
Lilith said, “You two have a really good relationship as if you can’t be separated for even a moment. Does Xiaoyu plan to stay in the United States like this?”
Xin Qianyu couldn’t be bothered to feign civility with Lilith and rolled his eyes. “I’ll give you a suggestion. Don’t always focus on other people’s boyfriends if you have nothing to do. You can achieve more.”
Lilith really did not expect Xin Qianyu to be so direct. Her face turned pale. She hurriedly showed her grievances and said, “Did you misunderstand? Su Zhong and I are just good friends. And I know he’s gay, so how can I have inopportune thoughts?”
Thomas, who was looking on beside them, also felt aggrieved for Lilith and secretly thought that Xin Qianyu was really rude.
Xin Qianyu guessed that Lilith would react like this and knew that without any obvious deviant behaviour from Li Liz, saying such things would attract controversy.
But so what?
Xin Qianyu did not care. He shrugged and said, “If it’s a misunderstanding, I’m sorry.” With that, Xin Qianyu pulled Su Zhong away and left.
Thanks for the chapter.😘
Life really isn’t easy. Thank you for the chapter !
I’m a person who avoids angst as much as possible but in this novel I’ve been dying for such tragedy to come. Don’t get me wrong, I love the characters but I want to see SZ feel the pain our MC is going through!
Lol same at the end of every chapter my disappoint is immeasurable as the ‘breakup’ isn’t coming. Because I want XQ to shine and SZ to have some character development. Otherwise it’s just angsty.
Next chapter if they are still together we can just put SZ inside a huge plastic bag and beat him up.
Xin Qianyu never mentioned inopportune thoughts. Protesting much? How come the people around Su Zhong don’t see Lilith always have an opinion about Su Zhong’s relationship even though no one asked her?
Thank you for the chapter.
Agreed, her comments on another person’s relationship are inappropriate regardless of her intentions of being with one of them or not. Its a business event not a gossip club
