As he watched the increasingly ethereal figure and the gradually closing elevator doors, Xu Shaoan clenched his fists. He was a very well-mannered person, and it was precisely because of this upbringing that he had been able to thrive in his former workplace and school.

But he had only one wish: to like Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu should like him too.

This wish was never fulfilled.

He was furious. Upon learning that Jiang Yu's husband was just a recent college graduate, he was filled with confidence.

How could a thirty-year-old man be inferior to a fresh-faced young man with no social experience?

Even if his family has countless successful students, so what?

Only by being with Jiang Yu can they achieve a powerful alliance, allowing the Jiang Group to reach new heights.

The result was that the entire Jiang family, from top to bottom, accepted this greenhorn who had just graduated, and their anger could no longer be suppressed.

He felt that his upbringing had bound him, so he abandoned his manners and insisted on challenging Chen Cixiu despite the advice of his elders.

The result was obvious: he lost.

Even if he loses an investment, he'll be happy.

Unexpectedly, the cooperation he was trying to secure was lost twice to Chen Cixiu.

Later, he chose to find a company similar to Haochi Media to compete for Haochi Media's resources.

As it turned out, he did manage to snatch it at first.

The result was that Haochi Media made a very bold cut, completely killing all of his plans.

They even raided his base.

A whistleblower letter left Haopin Media unable to find its owner and forced it to announce a transformation. Now, Haopin Media has become someone else's company, and if it continues, bankruptcy liquidation is the only option.

He sold it decisively, which prevented him from suffering a major loss.

Then, he resigned. His voluntary departure was also to leave himself a way out. After resigning, he immediately chose Yunfeng. However, after only one or two months of working there, the company was still losing money.

He didn't even dare to come here.

If he hadn't learned that Jiang Yu's uncle had passed away, he wouldn't have had the courage to come and create a chance encounter.

But Jiang Yu ignored him, which annoyed him.

He felt that his mind was filled with Jiang Yu's image, that beautiful figure deeply attracted him.

It made him completely infatuated.

He couldn't forget Jiang Yu, but he couldn't compare to Chen Cixiu, and the inferiority complex buried deep in his heart surged up again.

Finally, Feng has become incredibly popular, known throughout the entire internet, and he can finally come.

But the result was something he never expected.

Chen Cixiu ignored him.

It was as if his fist had hit cotton.

On what grounds?

Why should a kid who's only been running his business for a few months be able to ignore him?

It was one thing for his family to ignore him, since they only knew he was an illegitimate child, but so what? His abilities far surpassed those of his family, and he finally silenced them with his own power.

Chen Cixiu had to do the same. He had to look at himself and could no longer ignore himself. He had made so much effort not so that a recent graduate would ignore him.

Xu Shaoan had no idea how terrifying his expression was.

Luckily, there was no one in the elevator, otherwise someone would definitely have been frightened by him.

...

"Old Chen, Old Chen."

Li Bowen excitedly shouted in the office, then happily ran towards Chen Cixiu's office.

Everyone's gotten used to it. When we move to the West District Science and Technology Park next year, all the CEOs will be on the same floor, while the employees will be on other floors. That way, we won't have to hear CEO Li's occasional wolf howls anymore.

Chen Cixiu felt like his ears were about to break. Why was Li Bowen making such a fuss?

"Old Chen, great news! Do you know how much our company's valuation has reached now?"

Li Bowen is incredibly excited; those three words are practically written all over his face.

Make a fortune.

He believed that he would definitely continue his internship at the law firm step by step, slowly working his way up, and perhaps he would never become a partner in his lifetime, and could only live a life of idleness and waiting to die.

It was Chen Cixiu who brought him in to start a business together, giving him comprehensive control over the company's contracts.

What a bold decision that is!

He's a law student who just graduated, yet he's supposed to be in charge of a company's contracts. Nobody would dare hire someone like that.

But Chen Cixiu used it exactly that way.

Most importantly, over the past four years, no one knew better than his roommates how brilliant Li Bowen was in law.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to be recruited by a top law firm before even graduating.

"One hundred and fifty million."

Chen Cixiu said calmly.

"Damn it, how did you know? Don't you dislike paying attention to these things?" Li Bowen immediately cursed.

Then he sat down and asked, "Old Chen, do you think it's time for us to raise our Series B funding?"

Chen Cixiu nodded, "Indeed, I really didn't expect that Shu Yu's sudden popularity would bring us so much value."

"So it seems you're already considering it?"

Chen Cixiu nodded.

He had already made up his mind the moment Shu Yu became a sensation and Haochi Media's stock price soared.

"Old Chen, do you think we're billionaires now?"

Li Bowen rubbed his hands together, extremely excited.

"Hmm... the money hasn't even arrived yet, it's just an estimated value. When they do the valuation, they might just say they're cutting it by 10%, cutting it from 100 million, and then the dream of becoming a billionaire will be over."

Chen Cixiu jokingly laughed.

"No, who would do that? But Lao Chen, I'm really excited. I never expected that we would get to this stage in just a few months. I really wouldn't have dared to imagine this before."

Li Bowen took a deep breath, then gave a wry smile. "Old Chen, do you think I can really handle the job in the future? I'm really a bit lost right now. Our company is getting better and better, but I'm worried that I won't be able to keep up with the company's progress and will hold the company back."

Chen Cixiu could tell that Li Bowen was a little anxious.

He got up and went to Li Bowen's side, patted him on the shoulder, and then sat down on the sofa. "Old Li, you know, since I chose you, it proves that I believe you can do it. Do you remember that court simulation you did in college? Back then, you stayed up for two days straight to find the loophole, and you actually found it. All of us brothers were shocked by you at the scene."

He poured a cup of tea and brought it to Li Bowen's side. "So, I believe in you. Among us brothers, you are the most successful."

Li Bowen took the tea and drank it all in one gulp. "Old Chen, don't worry. Although I'm a little anxious, I can't just give up because of this. Besides, I still need to make money to get married. Moreover, Tian Xin's mindset has changed. She wants our company to go further, so I won't give up here."

"This is the Li Bowen I know."
