Lin Chen snapped out of his daze and looked at An Rou, who was sleeping hugging him like a koala. He turned his head and saw An Rou looking over at him. The distance between their lips was less than a centimeter.
An Rou's breath grew hotter and hotter, as if it was about to ignite a fire in Lin Chen. Plus, it was morning, and as all of you Yanzu (a term for men who admire men), Lin Chen's little brother instantly became proud and vigorous.
At this moment, An Rou looked at the lips so close to hers, completely unaware of how dangerous her situation was. She was still thinking about how she had stolen a kiss from Lin Chen in Shenzhen last time. Should she kiss him again?
Just as she hesitated, Lin Chen jumped out of bed and rushed into the bathroom.
He splashed cold water on his face: "Phew... This is too dangerous. I'm just an ordinary college student who's now a billionaire, and you're testing me with this?"
After Lin Chen left, An Rou blushed as she thought about the idea that had just popped into her head. Seeing that Lin Chen hadn't come out of the bathroom for a while, she quickly went back to her room.
Lin Chen, who had taken a shower in the bathroom before coming out, saw the breakfast that An Rou had prepared. Without even putting on his clothes, he ran over in a towel.
"Hey boss, you should at least wear some clothes."
"Who came to my bed in the middle of the night and now they're blaming me for not wearing clothes?"
"I brought your phone in for you. Who told you to leave it in the living room without turning on Do Not Disturb mode?"
Speaking of cell phones, Lin Chen's phone rang again, coincidentally, it was Zhang Wenyi from Amazon again.
"Hello."
"Five million... Oh no, Mr. Lin, you finally answered the phone."
Lin Chen's face darkened. Who is Five Million? Who are you calling Five Million? Don't think I didn't hear you.
"What's up, Mr. Zhang?"
"We're in dire need of help! We've been hit so hard by Jack Ma's 'China's own shopping festival' that we're almost losing last year's sales. Can you help us figure out a solution? Don't worry, I know the rules."
"What rules? Don't talk nonsense. I don't have any rules about accepting five million."
"I understand, I understand. Okay, the five million for the wake-up bonus has been transferred to you."
Lin Chen was completely bewildered. What was this "wake-up bonus"? *Beep beep*... His phone notified him that five million yuan had been deposited into his bank account.
"Ahem, Mr. Zhang, well, Jack Ma of Alibaba is a natural marketing genius, there's really nothing we can do about it."
Lin Chen paused for a moment and took a bite of bread.
"However, if we want to salvage the situation a little, I can offer a small suggestion."
"What idea? Tell me quickly," Zhang Wenyi said anxiously.
"Isn't Amazon's headquarters in the US? You should know about Black Friday, right? You could create a 'Chinese version of Black Friday' and make direct shipping of discounted overseas products one of your selling points."
Zhang Wenyi's eyes lit up. That's right! This is an advantage that no other shopping website has. Only Amazon can do it, and there is indeed a demand for it among online shoppers. In the past, people would buy things themselves or use forwarding companies, which was quite risky. Amazon's direct shipping can solve this pain point for users. Moreover, Black Friday is already a big deal, unlike Taobao which has a separate Double Twelve event. It saves a lot of advertising costs. This idea is simply brilliant.
"Mr. Lin, thank you so much. I'll treat you to dinner another day."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Chen finished his bread and went back to his room to get dressed. An Rou called out from behind, "Boss, remember to take me with you when you go out to eat. I love freeloading."
Lin Chen looked at her speechlessly: "Senior, you actually believed that? When someone says 'another day,' they mean they're not going to invite you to dinner."
An Rou looked blankly at him: "Eh, is that so? Then you said you'd treat me to dinner another day..."
"Ahem, I'm different from them. I'll definitely treat you to a meal."
"when?"
"Some other time, some other time."
December 15th was a sunny and breezy day.
Lin Chen and Su Xiaowan arrived at Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station and met with the official staff of the University Student Entrepreneurship Management Office. The notice stated that they should meet at 9:00 AM, as their flight was at 9:30 AM.
It was 8:45 when Lin Chen arrived and found that representatives from the startups of the other two schools had already arrived.
"Hey, senior, look at this greenhorn, he's so late. He's definitely going to get yelled at later."
"Shh, keep your voice down. Haven't you been scolded enough yet?"
These two young men were representatives from Tongji University. They arrived at 8:30, but were scolded by the official team leader for having no sense of time. He said they couldn't have arrived earlier and had to be right on time.
Just as the two were preparing to watch the show, Director Liu from the official department quickly stepped forward, smiling, and said, "President Lin, you've arrived. The timing is perfect. President Lin is truly a master of time management!"
Lin Chen looked puzzled. Why was this uncle swearing? But seeing the wrinkles on his face from smiling, he realized he must have misunderstood. The word should still have a normal meaning now.
"Director Liu, hello, this is our company's financial director, Su Xiaowan."
"Hello, hello." Director Liu shook hands with the two of them. "Now that everyone is here, let's go in."
The Tongji University representative was dumbfounded. "Why? What makes them so special? We're all representatives, so why is there such a big difference in attitude? If I arrive half an hour early, it's because I have no sense of time, but if he arrives fifteen minutes early, he's a master of time management?"
A representative from Fudan University walked over, noticed the confusion on their faces, and whispered, "Because he's the owner of Huasuan.com."
"Hua...Huasuan.com?" The two students from Tongji University almost spat out blood. Seriously, you're already worth billions, and you're still participating in a university student entrepreneurship competition? What's your motive? To slaughter goblins in the newbie village?
Three officials and three company representatives, totaling six people, boarded a flight to Beijing.
Director Liu sat down next to Lin Chen and said with a smile, "President Lin, this entrepreneurship competition is being held at the Yanshan Hotel in Beijing. In addition to the representative companies from universities across the country, the room is filled with CEOs and HR personnel from many companies, as well as a group of angel investors. The startups that are selected have a very high chance of receiving investment."
Lin Chen nodded and asked, "Director Liu, may I sit in the audience and make an investment?"
Ah... Director Liu really hadn't considered this issue. After all, aren't these college student startups all looking for investors? Which college student startup comes here to invest in others?
However, Lin Chen really does have the qualifications. As an official, he is quite clear about Lin Chen's net worth. After Double Twelve, Huasuan.com's registered users have exceeded 100 million. Lin Chen has achieved his small goal. The official valuation of Huasuan.com is around 3 billion US dollars, not to mention that this person also has several hundred million in liquid funds.
Looking at the two companies that came with him, it seems there's really nothing wrong with Lin Chen sitting in the audience.
