As the autumn chill of sophomores swept across the sycamore-lined avenue, the Yu Group's global market capitalization report just happened to break industry records.
In the morning news on the financial channel, the anchor respectfully reported that "Yu's Holdings has doubled its revenue for eight consecutive quarters, with its business covering three core areas: new energy, biotechnology, and high-end manufacturing. At the age of 20, the founder's daughter, Yu Jiuyuan, has firmly secured the position of the world's youngest head of a multinational corporation."
Meanwhile, the young lady at the center of the controversy was sitting in the Saint Sakura Student Council office, her fingertips tracing documents on a tablet computer, her expression as calm as if she were handling an ordinary course assignment.
Outside the office's floor-to-ceiling windows was a golden ginkgo forest, and sunlight streamed through the blinds, casting soft shadows on her.
She wore a simple white shirt and black suit pants, her long hair loosely tied into a low ponytail, revealing her slender, fair neck. A pair of thin-rimmed gold-rimmed glasses perched on her nose, adding a touch of scholarly elegance.
If it weren't for the encrypted satellite phone on the corner of the table vibrating every ten minutes, no one would have guessed that this seemingly gentle and harmless student council president was actually holding the lifeline of a business empire in her hands.
"President, this is the final plan for next week's campus culture festival. Please take a look."
The head of the student union's organization department handed over a printed document, his tone revealing obvious reverence.
Yu Jiuyuan didn't even look up. She took the document and quickly flipped through it, her fingertips pausing on a certain page.
"In the guest invitation list, the slots for the top domestic symphony orchestras have been replaced with the research team of Yuanshi Biotechnology, and a 'Youth Biotechnology Innovation' section has been added to the theme forum."
Her voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority.
"In addition, the budget allocation will be reduced by 20% for publicity expenses and added to the campus public welfare fund to support the research projects of students from impoverished families."
“But… Yuanshi Bio’s research team has never participated in campus activities, and the symphony orchestra’s schedule has already been finalized…” The minister hesitated.
“Yuan Xu will coordinate.” Yu Jiuyuan raised her eyes, her gaze behind her glasses calm and unwavering, yet it silenced the minister instantly.
"As for the symphony orchestra, let the external relations department communicate with them and say that the Yu family is willing to sponsor their national tour next season."
In just a few words, the problem was solved, and Yuan Xu's research team was given exposure without anyone noticing. At the same time, the Yu family's resources were used to pave the way for the student union.
Such strategic planning has long been Yu Jiuyuan's daily routine.
Since the start of her sophomore year, she has implemented sweeping reforms to the work of the student union.
The organization, which originally focused on cultural and sports activities, has been adjusted to a three-pronged model of "academic practice + public service + school-enterprise cooperation".
This not only extended the influence of the Saint Sakura Student Union to universities across the country, but also laid the groundwork for Yu's talent pool and project promotion through the opportunity of cooperation.
The encrypted phone vibrated again, and the name "Rong Shenghan" appeared on the screen.
Yu Jiuyuan pressed the answer button, her tone instantly softening, with just the right amount of languor: "Hello?"
"What are you busy with?"
Rong Shenghan's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone, with the faint roar of a helicopter in the background.
"I just finished project negotiations in Europe and I'm at the airport now, getting ready to go back to school."
"Looking at the cultural festival proposal."
Yu Jiuyuan chuckled softly, tapping her fingertips lightly on the table. "How's it going on your end? I heard that the partners in Eastern Europe are quite difficult to deal with."
"No matter how difficult it is, it can't compare to the negotiation strategy given by Miss Yu."
Rong Shenghan's voice was tinged with laughter.
"According to your proposed plan, we not only secured the exclusive agency rights but also reduced costs by 30%. To thank you, how about I take you to that newly opened private kitchen in the south of the city tonight?"
"I'm afraid that won't work."
Yu Jiuyuan's tone was apologetic, but there was no regret in her eyes.
"Tonight I need to check the cross-border merger and acquisition contract between Yu's Group and Xie's Group with Xie Zhecheng. You know him, he's a perfectionist to the extreme, and there can't be the slightest mistake."
Rong Shenghan on the other end of the phone was silent for two seconds, then chuckled softly: "Xie Zhecheng again? Yu Jiuyuan, aren't you afraid I'll get jealous?"
"Would you?" Yu Jiuyuan retorted, her tone laced with a hint of slyness. "Last time you deliberately leaked Xie's bid reserve price to me, wasn't it so that I would have more contact with him and see how furious he would get?"
Rong Shenghan's personality has always been unpredictable. He appears approachable on the surface, but he is actually quite cunning and ruthless.
He enjoyed the process of "competing" with Xie Zhecheng, Lin Yanran and others for Yu Jiuyuan's attention, and even tirelessly added fuel to the fire of this "battleground".
In his view, to be held in the heart of such a cold and powerful woman, even if only as a "chess piece on the chessboard," is an ultimate honor.
"Alright, you win." Rong Shenghan conceded. "Then I'll go back to school first and wait for you in your office tonight? I'll also bring you your favorite strawberry mousse."
"Okay, thank you, baby."
Yu Jiuyuan's voice was as sweet as honey, but after hanging up the phone, the smile on her face vanished instantly. She then opened another encrypted document and began processing the urgent reports from Yu's Biotechnology division.
At 3 p.m., Yu Jiuyuan finished her work in the student council and drove to the headquarters of the Yu Group.
The black Maybach drove smoothly on the city's main road. She leaned back in the back seat, closed her eyes to rest, but her mind was quickly sorting out the key tasks for the near future.
The Xie family's acquisition deal needs to be signed this week.
The new vaccine research and development project on Yuanxu's side needs investment from the Yu family.
Lin Yanran's racing club is about to host an international race and needs the Yu family to provide title sponsorship.
