Xiao Bai had the entire process of his speech recorded, planning to stir up a storm online with the video.
In the auditorium, the climax was reached after Xiao Bai finished singing, but when he announced that two junior students could intern at Hailang during the vacation, the whole auditorium exploded.
It took Xiao Bai a lot of effort to escape the auditorium, and he didn’t dare enter the nearby office, heading directly to the parking lot instead. After waving goodbye to the enthusiastic college students over and over again, he finally stepped on the gas and left in a cloud of dust.
After the crowd had mostly dispersed, Wan Chu’er and Jiang Lingling went to the auditorium to double-check the post on the campus forum with the student union folks, and got the videotape from the hired cameraman before leaving the campus.
On the way, Xiao Bai couldn’t wait to call, sounding extremely excited.
"How was it, bro? Didn’t I do well? These students are just so passionate and crazy, I would have been held up if I didn’t run fast.
You should have seen the scene; it was a real spectacle, with drums and gongs sounding and flags waving!"
In less than two sentences, the guy was bragging excessively, making the corners of Wan Chu’er’s mouth twitch, "Continue tomorrow and the day after."
"No problem, after giving a speech, my white hairs have turned black again," Xiao Bai was very cheerful, he absolutely loved the feeling of being chased after and adulated.
Since Wan Chu’er was on speakerphone, Jiang Lingling heard everything clearly, and she silently wondered where Xiao Bai got white hairs from, when he clearly had a full head of black hair.
Wan Chu’er bluntly said: "You just like being flattered, don’t you?" She remembered the first time she met Xiao Bai, when he tried so earnestly to entice her into flattering him, only to be rejected on the spot.
After setting up the time and location for the speech tomorrow night, she ended the call with Xiao Bai.
Wan Chu’er dropped Jiang Lingling off at the gate of her residential complex and drove to the old Chen Family house, as Mao Xiaoyu and the two kids were still there.
As soon as she entered the Chen Family estate, she heard Mao Xiaoyu’s crisp laughter.
Turning the corner, she saw Mao Xiaoyu sitting on the steps, one child in each arm, while Li Shan was doing somersaults, causing Mao Xiaoyu and the twins to laugh joyfully.
Has love really made Li Shan this silly?
Seeing Wan Chu’er, Li Shan humphed awkwardly and muttered, "Why are you back so early?"
Wan Chu’er looked down at her watch, "...Bro, it’s already nine o’clock at night."
Mao Xiaoyu hurriedly got up with the kids, saying, "Sister-in-law, I’ve already packed everything for Chuanqi and Hunter, they just had their formula."
Wan Chu’er took Chuanqi, kissed her little cheek, which made Chuanqi giggle and grab onto Wan Chu’er’s ear and refuse to let go.
Hunter in Mao Xiaoyu’s arms saw his mother and straightened his little belly, wanting to be held by mom too.
Wan Chu’er hurriedly reached out to take him; her arms felt heavier—both the little guys were not light.
Unable to wait for his mom’s kiss, Hunter drooled on Wan Chu’er’s nose and then burst out laughing.
After the loving interaction between mother and sons, Wan Chu’er then went to the study to greet the old master.
The old master was wearing reading glasses, looking at something, "Back already? Did it go well?"
Wan Chu’er smiled, "Quite smoothly."
"Good, then don’t go back tonight, just stay here," the old master said.
Wan Chu’er thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement. After all, the old Chen Family house had everything, and she had to bring the kids over tomorrow anyway.
"There’s a file on the Chen Family here, take a look." The old master took out a document folder from the drawer and pushed it to Wan Chu’er.
"The Chen Family?" Wan Chu’er didn’t react at first, whose family is that, and what does it have to do with her?
The old master saw her confused look and shook his head, "You must have been overwhelmed these days. Didn’t a new neighbor move in next door, Xiao Jiang asked me to check on them before he left."
Oh, Wan Chu’er realized, Chen Jiahua and his stiff and dominant mother!
These days she’d been leaving early and coming back late, often staying overnight at the old house, almost forgetting those two, mother and son.
Wan Chu’er said, "What have they got to do with me, I don’t want to look at their information."
She had an innate resistance to these people, not wanting to have anything to do with anyone from the Chen Family, besides, her father’s surname is Wan, while their surname is Chen.
The old master’s face turned serious, "Being stubborn again, knowing the enemy and knowing yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; all those books you read were for nothing. You might not want to deal with them, but that doesn’t mean they won’t come looking for you.
This family is complex, just take a careful look at the information inside. Even if you have to deal with them one day, at least you’ll know how."
Only then did Wan Chu’er obediently take the folder.
"You should rest early, old man." She advised the old master before hurrying back to her room to take care of today’s speech video.
The old master waved his hand, letting her go.
After washing and feeding the two little ones with the help of Mao Xiaoyu, and spending quite some time putting them to sleep, Wan Chu’er left the nursery.
Back in her own room, she took out the videotape and watched it through; Xiao Bai did indeed perform very well, and the college students at the scene were as if injected with adrenaline.
However, the influence was still minimal; she had to spread this speech further.
She edited the video into several parts, some short ones, including a few very interesting clips, as well as the complete video.
After the videos were ready, she went to various top university forums to post about Xiao Bai, Hailang, tonight’s speech video, about sentimentality, even about the rivalry between Hailang and Thunder, she wrote about it all.
The young and inexperienced are full of curiosity about the world, especially such industry rivalries, which can grab their attention even more.
With the clash between Hailang and Thunder, she played a little trick by leaking some of Thunder’s foreign background, shifting the struggle between the two IT companies to a struggle between foreign forces and local enterprises.
She went ahead and posted these threads to the university forums all at once, although she had prepared the content of the posts in advance, registering accounts and posting still took quite some time.
Working till midnight, she had only posted to three or four university forums, including the first university.
Wan Chu’er yawned, not checking the effect of the posts, turned off her computer to sleep, planning to continue the work tomorrow morning.
There are too many cradles of IT talent training among domestic science and engineering universities — she wanted more people to see it.
Moreover, besides the campus forums, some famous websites also needed to be utilized, but these sites are prone to delete posts.
Thinking about all sorts of muddled things in her head, Wan Chu’er fell asleep.
Little did she know that her actions had already caused a stir on the Chinese internet.
The next morning, when Wan Chu’er woke up, her first task was to wash up the two little ones, feed them, have breakfast, and once the two little ones were settled, she finally got free to finish the unfinished business from last night.
Before she could open her computer, Xiao Bai called.
"Wan Chu’er, you really are my lucky star!" After blurting out this head-scratcher, Xiao Bai hung up the phone.
