Zhou Xiaomo was definitely a person with high emotional intelligence. Throughout the entire event, he wore a standard smile and flattered the girls present, making them beam with joy.
"Xinmeng, our student council welcomes enthusiastic and lively girls like you to join us. I have high hopes for your future in the student council, and it's not impossible for you to become the next president!"
Zhou Xiaomo smiled and said to An Xinmeng beside him.
"Oh, really?!"
An Xinmeng was already a little nervous and shy, and Zhou Xiaomo's words made her even more overjoyed:
"That's great! I definitely want to join the student council and learn from the seniors!"
Zhou Xiaomo smiled slightly at An Xinmeng, and without repeating himself, he went on to praise the other three people present:
"Junior Lin Jicheng, I watched your live stream collaboration with our school's lab at the beginning of this semester... I really benefited from that live stream! Junior Lin Jicheng, you are so courageous!"
"Junior Qingning, I heard you're studying under Academician Qin, the most famous academician in our school, in the lab. Your future is truly limitless!"
"Junior Qiao Lingyuan, Professor Wang from Microeconomics mentioned you to me. He said that this new junior student wrote an exceptionally good paper with her own unique perspective. She is truly a promising young talent!"
Zhou Xiaomo was generous with his praise. His words were not just simple generalities, but rather he accurately grasped the characteristics of each person and praised them in a targeted manner. He also mentioned many small details that are easily forgotten, which made it seem that Zhou Xiaomo himself had an excellent memory and remembered every detail of everyone present clearly.
After this, the four roommates were all a little embarrassed...
"Haha, thank you for the compliment, senior. I still have a lot to learn from you..."
"Yes, yes, I still have a lot to learn from you, the outstanding senior Zhou Xiaomo!"
Qiao Lingyuan and Xu Qingning were naturally overjoyed after being praised by their outstanding seniors. Zhou Xiaomo returned the compliment with a warm and gentle smile, like a spring breeze.
The atmosphere at the cafeteria table was very harmonious. Zhou Xiaomo's high-EQ praise quickly warmed up the atmosphere!
Zhou Xiaomo quickly became friends with the girls, chatting and laughing. While chatting with her other roommates, Zhou Xiaomo's gaze would frequently and quickly sweep over Lin Jicheng, then linger for a moment on the expensive, shiny Patek Philippe watch on her wrist and her custom-made shirt jacket.
Zhou Xiaomo's gaze swept across the room with incredible speed; if it weren't for the sheer number of times she looked, Lin Jicheng would never have noticed. None of their roommates seemed to realize it. Although Lin Jicheng was somewhat suspicious, she remained outwardly calm, smilingly joining in her roommates' conversation—
Zhou Xiaomo repeatedly glanced at Lin Jicheng out of the corner of his eye, but no matter what, his face always wore a flawless smile. Looking at Lin Jicheng, Zhou Xiaomo smiled and praised her highly:
"This must be Lin Jicheng, right? I've heard so much about you!"
"Haha, Senior Zhou, you flatter me! It's your excellence that's truly renowned!"
Seeing that the other person, as a senior, was praising him so highly, Lin Jicheng dared not accept it. He quickly put on a businesslike smile and cheerfully praised the other person even more:
"We freshmen should learn from outstanding seniors like you!"
"I dare not accept such praise!"
Zhou Xiaomo's smile was flawless:
"Studying is one thing, but now that we're university students, besides studying, we also need to think more about our career development paths..."
"Speaking of which, fellow female students, what kind of career do you want to pursue in the future?"
Zhou Xiaomo looked around the table, appearing quite curious:
"By the way, Xinmeng, during the student council interview, I heard you say that you really hope to be involved in commercial management in the future, right?"
An Xinmeng nodded, and before she could explain further, Zhou Xiaomo continued:
"Sigh, no matter what you do, early knowledge and resources are still quite important. Take entrepreneurs for example, the funding and connections provided by their families are very important!"
Zhou Xiaomo casually glanced at Lin Jicheng, his eyes sincere. As if suddenly remembering something, he said in a tone that was half-joking and half-envious:
"Speaking of which, I'm really curious. I really want to learn from people like Lin Jicheng who started their businesses so early. After all, she has such perseverance and courage!"
Lin Jicheng knew that the other party was referring to Chengxin Technology. After Huang Tianci's commotion at the beginning of the semester, the whole school probably knew that he was the founder of Chengxin Technology and that Chengxin Technology had in-depth cooperation with several high-end laboratories of the school.
Zhou Xiaomo sighed, head bowed:
"I really want to ask my junior for advice. After all, in this kind of high-tech field, you absolutely can't judge based on short-term profits. You can only rely on long-term cash burning to secure future strategic planning."
"I wonder if my junior was influenced by her family to have the courage to start a business? Or perhaps..."
Zhou Xiaomo paused for a moment:
"How did you manage to secure your initial investment? For you, do you intend to build this company into an independent star enterprise, or to place it within your family's business empire as an important strategic piece?"
Lin Jicheng looked at the other person without changing his expression, and did not answer anything.
Company management, business development, and so on...
Lin Jicheng couldn't possibly tell the other party the truth!
They say things like, "The Godly Rich System gave me a huge sum of money, and in order to spend it, I had to buy a large number of industries and companies all over the world, and incidentally built a multinational conglomerate..."
That sounds unbelievable, doesn't it?
More importantly, Lin Jicheng remained somewhat wary of this senior she was meeting for the first time.
Although the other person was an all-around excellent senior surrounded by numerous accolades, for some reason, Lin Jicheng always felt that the other person seemed to be subtly trying to get information out of him, as if—
The other party seemed to have already accepted that she was a young lady from a wealthy and powerful family, and she was very interested in knowing what her family background was like and what kind of support her family had given her!
Therefore, Lin Jicheng maintained a strategy of feigning ignorance. She pretended not to understand anything and was about to laugh it off when, unexpectedly, An Xinmeng spoke up in a very casual manner:
"Yes, our Jicheng is incredibly talented!"
An Xinmeng's eyes were full of pride as she patted Lin Jicheng's shoulder forcefully. She never hesitated to praise her roommate in front of others:
"Ji Cheng is incredibly talented! While we were still struggling to understand the lessons, she had already started her own business, and it's quite large!"
"The money we used to start the company is just a small amount for us, it's nothing!"
