Under Xin Qianyu’s scornful eyes, Xin Mu shrugged and said, “Okay, I know. My lifestyle is problematic. The board of directors has already criticized enough, right? Don’t criticize me anymore.”
“I’m not criticizing you. Everyone has their own way of living.” Xin Qianyu smiled bitterly. “I just didn’t expect myself to fall into this.”
Xin Mu smiled. “Actually, you should also think about the advantage…”
“Advantage?” Xin Qianyu raised his head. “What advantage?”
Xin Mu said, “The problems of the group did not happen overnight. Today you are in power, and the focus of the conflict is on you. Tomorrow, Xin Simu will be in power, and the focus of the conflict will be on her… If you take a step back now, maybe the breather would be good.”
Xin Qianyu pondered for a long time. Then as if he had realized something, he nodded slightly. “That’s right. Yuzhuo is a mess.”
“If the old man has no intention of rectification, the situation will always be this chaotic.” Xin Mu sighed. “It’s pandemonium. I can’t stand it either.”
Xin Qianyu was silent for a long time. Then said, “I still feel that the old man didn’t oust me because of my gayness, but because of my relationship with Su Zhong. Is he against me, afraid that I will use M-global’s capital to seize power and usurp the throne?”
“Hmm?” Xin Mu looked at Xin Qianyu, declining to comment.
Xin Qianyu continued. “The board of directors has never had a professional director. They are all mindless relatives. On one level, the old man values emotions, but more importantly, it’s because of this he can wield the power alone.”
Xin Mu looked at Xin Qianyu and squinted slightly. “Good boy. You have finally grown up.”
“Pshh.” Xin Qianyu exhaled, and the resentment in his chest decreased slightly. “I see.”
Xin Mu said, “Now, you go to the old man to show your loyalty and use some bitter meat strategies to redeem yourself. After all, you’re his most beloved grandson.”
“Redeem my ass.” Xin Qianyu shook his head. “I don’t have that skill. I want to study.”
“What?” Xin Mu was shocked. “Study? Did I hear you correctly?”
“Su Zhong previously said that no one in Yuzhuo understood the logic of capital.” Xin Qianyu touched his chin. “He speaks better now than before, so he didn’t say the sentence that should follow…”
“What sentence?” Xin Mu asked.
Xin Qianyu smiled. “He wanted to say that not one of us in Yuzhuo understands business logic, and even I’m an idiot in this area, so I need him.”
“Cut!” Xin Mu disagreed. “Then he’s too good at elevating himself and belittling others! If everyone in our company is a business idiot, could we make the company so big?”
“I didn’t mean to say that, but I also think the group’s senior management is engaged in a ‘palace fight’, rather than just discussing business… I have actually reflected on myself. I was able to win this CEO position not because my proposal was more professional than Xin Simu’s, but because I defeated her by winning over people’s hearts. Now conversely, she has taken away my position, and it has nothing to do with being professional,” Xin Qianyu analyzed.
Xin Mu could not refute it. Previously, Xin Simu came up with a professional plan, but it was defeated because Xin Qianyu used dividends to win the support of his relatives. Now, Xin Qianyu was out because of the scandal. They were all “fighting within the palace” and it had nothing to do with being professional.
Xin Qianyu smiled. “I want to go to the United States to study for an MBA. What do you say?”
Xin Mu said, “You’re sure you aren’t just disheartened and running to the United States?” Xin Mu’s tone was a little worried, afraid that her son would be unable to recover after such a setback.
“I’m really not.” Xin Qianyu smiled brightly. “I just want to learn. To recharge and improve myself. When I finish my studies, the emperor will return.”
Seeing that Xin Qianyu was still spirited, Xin Mu was relieved and joked, “Stop it. If you go to the United States at this critical juncture, Xin Simu will have ascended the throne by the time you return! Would you still be the emperor? You can’t even be a eunuch!”
Xin Qianyu shook his head. “Mom, didn’t you say earlier? Now in Yuzhuo, whoever is in power is unlucky. ”
Xin Mu heard the words and was silent for a while.
Xin Qianyu, in Xin Mu’s words, was “acting on impulse”, but Xin Qianyu’s self-assessment was “acting without delay” and being “action-oriented”.
Since he decided to go to the United States to study for an MBA, he immediately began to prepare for the application. He had previously studied in the United States, so he had a general understanding of the application process and little problem applying for it himself.
Su Zhong knew that Xin Qianyu was going to study abroad, so he immediately applied for a transfer, wanting to return to the U.S. headquarters in half a year.
The big boss of M-global said, “Are you playing with me?”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Su Zhong said, “I’m not.”

The big boss of M-global could not help but wonder, Was I the boss or was he?

During this period, Su Zhong tried to court Xin Qianyu, first saying, “Do you need GMAT and TOEFL training?”
Xin Qianyu said, “Do you know that my family does education and training?”
“……”
Next, Su Zhong proposed, “Did you want to go to H Business School? I’m an alumnus and can help you write a letter of recommendation.”
Xin Qianyu said, “No, I asked a professor I knew when I was studying in the United States to help me write it.”
“……”
Next, Su Zhong asked, “What about the paperwork and interview counselling?”
Xin Qianyu returned to his sentence, “Do you know that I do international education? Someone in my family specializes in this!”
“……”
Su Zhong’s repeated courting was rejected over and over again.
But since he decided to “cling”, naturally, he would not give up easily.
Xin Qianyu successfully applied for the MBA course from H Business School and enrolled normally.
Su Zhong also successfully applied for the opportunity to return to the United States and returned to the headquarters. For such random actions of Su Zhong’s, the big boss said, “As long as you have accomplished results, I have no problem even if you go to work on Mars.”
It was a pity that M-global’s headquarters was in Manhattan, while Xin Qianyu’s H Business School was in Boston. The distance between the two was still a bit far.
However, the distance was not a big problem. Su Zhong would run to Boston to find Xin Qianyu as soon as he had time.
Previously, Xin Qianyu had to find the time to drive from New York to Boston to look for Su Zhong.
Now, it was Su Zhong who had to find time to go from New York to Boston to look for Xin Qianyu.
Seeing Su Zhong appearing below the dormitory building, Xin Qianyu was in a daze.
He thought of the past him and of the excitement he had when he rushed to Boston like a butterfly every week.
Su Zhong stood there, and it seemed like it was where he had stood before.
Xin Qianyu coughed dryly twice and said, “Why are you here? Are you tired?”
“Not tired,” Su Zhong said. “I took a private jet. It was very quick.”
“…” Xin Qianyu’s softheartedness immediately disappeared for the most part. I was driving myself that year! How miserable! Why are you so comfortable?!
Xin Qianyu displayed an expression that showed he did not want to speak.
Now, Su Zhong had grown a lot, and he could read some of Xin Qianyu’s emotions, although it was still quite difficult to analyze. Just like now, Su Zhong knew that Xin Qianyu had been provoked, but he could not understand which sentence of his had provoked Xin Qianyu.
Su Zhong could only come up with some words and said, “By the way, ‘Feiyue Mobile Games’ is making money.”
“Yes!” Xin Qianyu’s attention was immediately drawn.
“Feiyue Mobile Games” was the mobile game company of Xin Qianyu’s old classmate. At that time, the old classmate had no choice but to ask Xin Qianyu to invest two million. Su Zhong also took a fancy to this project and invested 20 million in one go.
Now that more than half a year had passed, the mobile game was online, and they were indeed making money. As an “angel investor”, Xin Qianyu would also gain financial benefits.
Su Zhong knew that when he had nothing to say, he could talk about investment, and Xin Qianyu would be interested at this time.
This reality made Su Zhong feel helpless: Xin Qianyu was more interested in money than in Su Zhong.
In the blink of an eye, it was winter and more than a year had passed. “Feiyue” had become increasingly popular, and it had become a hot and successful product. And Xin Qianyu, as a shareholder, also got the first pot of gold.
Xin Qianyu, who had tasted the sweetness, began to seriously run the investment company under his name and used the money on hand for venture capital. He had one more advantage over others in doing this. That was, he had a good mentality and was not afraid of losing money. Of course, this mentality required a certain amount of confidence to support it.
However, now investment could only be regarded as Xin Qianyu’s sideline. Xin Qianyu was still a full-time student, and his homework came first. The course was almost over, and he had to prepare for the final semester’s work with his classmates. The tutor asked them to do case studies in groups and publish them. The group then began the analysis without sleep or food.
While discussing the case, Xin Qianyu raised his eyes and saw the calendar. He suddenly remembered that it was the weekend, and Su Zhong was likely to come looking for him. He lowered his head, took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Su Zhong. “I’m busy due to term-end. Don’t come.”
Su Zhong quickly replied. “I’m already here.”
Xin Qianyu couldn’t tell him, “Then just ask the private jet to turn around.”
Yet, Xin Qianyu felt that it was not good. He seemed to already be used to being with Su Zhong on weekends… This was not a good sign.
He hardened his heart and replied, “Then you can find something to do by yourself. I don’t have time to accompany you.”
After sending the message, Xin Qianyu put the phone back in his pocket and decided not to pay attention to him.
The team members projected the prepared PPT on the wall and analyzed how the presentation could be improved. Xin Qianyu also looked at the wall, but out of the corner of his eyes, he saw a familiar figure outside the window.
Xin Qianyu’s heart tightened, and he wanted to pretend that he could not see it, but thinking of today’s temperature, he could not ignore it.
He coughed dryly and said, “Is there anyone outside?” As he spoke, he went over and opened the door. Sure enough, he saw Su Zhong standing outside the door.
It was a snowy day and very cold outside. Su Zhong was wearing a dark blue cashmere jacket, a thin layer of snow on his shoulders, and his cheeks were slightly blue, which actually made this seven-foot man seem vulnerable.
In this situation, Xin Qianyu could not harden his heart, so he had to say, “Come in. It’s cold outside.”
Su Zhong came in.
Xin Qianyu gave him a cup of hot tea.
Su Zhong took the hot tea and thanked him.
Xin Qianyu felt that this scene was very familiar.……
Wasn’t this what happened before?
Su Zhong was studying in the dormitory, and Xin Qianyu deliberately stood in the wind and snow and pretended to be pitiful in order to get his attention!
In the end, Su Zhong let Xin Qianyu into the house, poured hot tea and gave a blanket to Xin Qianyu.……
Xin Qianyu narrowed his eyes at Su Zhong, but Su Zhong was still holding the hot tea like a puppy.
The classmates asked curiously, “Who is this?”
Xin Qianyu replied, “This is my friend. Don’t worry about him. Let’s continue our discussion.”
It seemed Xin Qianyu was not planning to introduce Su Zhong. Su Zhong did not look lost either and was sitting quietly.
Xin Qianyu was not afraid to snub him. He just continued to study the PPT presentation and the content of the case analysis with his classmates. The discussion was in full swing, and soon everyone ignored the existence of this person in the corner.
Su Zhong finished drinking a cup of tea before saying, “May I voice my opinion?”
Xin Qianyu’s face stiffened slightly.
The other students also showed surprised expressions. Those who could apply for an MBA from H Business School were not only top students but also talents who were leaders in the enterprise. Such people naturally regarded themselves highly. Although they saw that Su Zhong was a handsome guy, they only felt it was just that. They did not think this handsome young guy could provide any valuable advice.
“Do you know this?” A classmate who was a high-level executive in a company asked suspiciously.
Su Zhong replied, “I know a bit.”
The classmate chuckled. “Then let’s hear it?”
“Your analysis is basically fine, but the expression is too cumbersome, and you did not make good use of the PPT as a medium for presentation.” Su Zhong pointed to a page of the PPT and said, “For example, the textual expression here is too cumbersome. I recommend using coloured SWOT quadrants to represent it.” After that, he turned the page. “And it would be more appropriate to use a bell curve rather than a table to represent the value of demand changes here.”
Everyone was silent.
Su Zhong asked, “By the way, have you tried data mining?”
Classmate: “…you just said you only knew a bit?”
Another classmate picked up another case and handed it to Su Zhong. “Have you seen this before?”
Su Zhong read the first line and said, “Sarbanes-Oxley Act.”
The classmate nodded. “Do you know it too?”
Su Zhong said again, “I know a bit.”
The classmate gave a beaming smile. “With this sentence of yours, I’m relieved.”
Another classmate took the initiative to add a little hot tea to Su Zhong’s empty cup. “Brother Know-A-Bit, please have some tea.”
Everyone’s attitude towards Su Zhong changed in an instant, and they asked very enthusiastically, “Where did you go to school?”
Su Zhong said, “I also graduated from H Business School.”
“Oh, Senior!” The classmates said happily. “Are you studying or working now?”
Xin Qianyu was afraid that these students would ask endless questions. Many of these MBA students were interested in networking. If they were to know the identity of Su Zhong, they would want to establish the relationship even more. Xin Qianyu hurriedly interrupted, “Stop chatting. Hurry up and change the PPT.”
Under Su Zhong’s guidance, everyone had a sense of sudden optimism and admired Su Zhong even more. “Shi Ge” and “Senior” were shouted enthusiastically.
With Su Zhong’s help, their PPT and speech drafts were quickly revised, and they could have dinner together after they were done. When they were about to leave, Xin Qianyu secretly took Su Zhong aside and said, “To avoid trouble, don’t tell them that you’re the senior managing partner of M-global.”
Su Zhong did not seem to understand what this “trouble” was, but because Xin Qianyu asked him to do so, he obediently accepted it.
Sure enough, when he arrived at the restaurant and sat down, an inquiring male classmate asked again, “Where is Shi Ge now?”
Su Zhong replied, “I’m at M-global.”
When everyone heard it, they started praising, “Ah, that’s great! M-global is really good!”
A female classmate smiled and said, “Well, my boyfriend is also from M-global. If nothing goes wrong, he’ll be a VP next year.”
“Really?” Everyone’s attention was drawn. “How long has your boyfriend been working there?”
“Oh, it’s been almost three years.” The female classmate smiled.
“Wow, three years. Becoming a VP in three years. That’s amazing!” Everyone respectfully praised. “That’s so enviable!”
But the female classmate pouted and said, “What’s so enviable about that? It took him three years just to become a VP. In fact, it’s not that great, right, Senior?”
Su Zhong said, “Yes.”
Thank you for the chapter!
Don’t give up Su Zhong!
So good at socializing and tripping at the end !
Is SZ just copy-pasting XQY? Poor, sad puppy!
