At this mont, Su Mucheng was in a hotel restaurant about five kiloters from her school, staring down a man eye to eye.
Yes, it was this man who made Su Mucheng leave Qiao Ze to co for a eting.
She had no choice because the man's na was Su Lixing, her father, whom she considered to be quite unreliable.
As Su Mucheng revealed over the phone, her father owned a company by the na of Licheng Software Technology Co., Ltd.
One might think that the owner of this company favored a certain beverage, but in fact, the founder simply combined a character from his own na and his daughter's.
This clearly shows soone who lacks creativity in naming.
Thus, it was quite reasonable to directly use a na from soone else's novel for his daughter's na.
Licheng Software may sound ordinary and it certainly isn't very well-known among general users, but in the industry, especially in the software sector of the entire East China region, it's actually quite famous.
This probably also had to do with Su Lixing's personality.
He never aid to do sothing flashy or beco a well-known chairman or anything of the sort.
Therefore, after founding the company, he focused solely on one thing, software outsourcing.
To be more specific, providing software developnt, testing, and all business process outsourcing services—the company could et any need a custor had.
Many bosses who started businesses in this field around the sa ti had actually beco quite wealthy.
After all, more than a decade ago, China's internet was just starting to take off, and getting into this field then was like catching the wind.
Especially during the few years when mobile internet was just erging and rapidly developing, the money made was truly as if it was swept in by a gale.
But not everyone could face the temptation of a sudden surge in wealth.
After all, money earned from software outsourcing was hard-earned, and with technology rapidly evolving and more people becoming knowledgeable, those bosses who had initially feasted started to get various ideas.
So diversified, so decided to invest in real estate, and others blindly expanded their scale and rushed to other regions to snatch up territory.
But Su Lixing was different, he felt it was enough to do well what he already knew.
While others were busy exploring new tracks, all of Licheng Software's new business developnts still revolved around software outsourcing.
When others were making big money in real estate, Licheng Software internally continued its technological iterations.
While others were scrambling for dominance everywhere, Licheng Software ford a dedicated team that traveled within the East China region to gauge the software needs of different enterprises and rchants and create their own regional software pain point needs database…
They maintained a single track policy, no matter how fast the external race lanes changed, Licheng Software focused exclusively on their one path and pressed the accelerator to the end.
Worst case, the company would go bankrupt and call it quits!
After all, Su Lixing never planned to run a massive enterprise with tens of thousands of employees, nor to make it into the Fortune Global 500.
He already felt exhausted managing a company with over a thousand employees, barely having ti for his hobbies!
Yet inexplicably, more than a decade later, today, while the entire software outsourcing market had already significantly shrunk, the performance of Licheng Software was completely unaffected. Mainly because in the entire East China region, it had no competitors in the field of software outsourcing.
Its partners were state-owned enterprises, State-owned Enterprises, and even those world-famous companies listed in the Fortune Global 500.
It was pretty much Licheng Software feasting on the at, tossing out the less desirable scraps for others to frantically scramble over.
In recent years, the technicians who left Licheng were highly sought after in the field of software outsourcing.
There was even a period of ti when headhunting firms were targeting Licheng's employees.
Su Lixing's attitude was very straightforward.
Poach anyone you want, because employees at a certain level would all sign non-compete agreents. The company doesn't mind offering more money for resignations, but if they jump ship, the new company would owe compensation. As long as the compensation was satisfactory, the company would profit, and the forr employees could get a salary several tis higher than before, why not?
```
After all, people can be poached, but Licheng's huge database can't be taken away.
And indeed, the facts have proved that when the platform chose to focus on developing its 'Inner Strength', individuals who left the platform didn't have the ability to turn the tide on their own.
A massive user pain point database isn't sothing that can be built in one or two years.
It took Licheng a full five years to build this database back when the internet wasn't as developed as it is today, scams weren't so rampant, and people were willing to talk when we proactively went door-to-door for research.
In this day and age, which boss has the patience to give a high-salary executive five or six years to catch up?
Not to ntion that Licheng is always able to access first-hand data and continuously updates this database monthly.
So, the poaching craze has also quieted down over the years.
Therefore, it's no exaggeration to say that Su Lixing really is a very successful and domineering CEO.
Of course, a successful boss isn't so free to drop everything for a woman, fly two or three hours across half of Huaxia, just for a single eting.
People like that are basically incompatible with the persona of a domineering CEO.
After all, the company has a lot going on and really needs its domineering CEO.
But it's a different story with daughters, daughters truly can.
Considering that Su Lixing has only this precious daughter whom he adores, he is adamant about not having a second child, fearing that soone may dare to dispute the family property with her.
Now his treasure might be dug up by soone else's pig, and he simply must take a look for himself.
He needs to understand who's raised the pig that could be so bold!
...
The mutual staring contest continued for two minutes, and in the end, it was Su Lixing who gave in.
"Chengzi, look, Daddy has co all this way just to et that boy. Can't I please have a al with him? I'm not trying to oppose your relationship. I just hope to get to know him a little better," Su Lixing said with a gentle smile, switching to a softer tactic.
"Oh, if I had known that the great father was coming just to see him, I wouldn't have bothered you. I was so excited after eating your al, but now I feel let down after hearing your words. Ultimately, it's this daughter's fault, and if you can't stand to see happy, I have nothing to say. But your request today really chills my heart like ice.
It's all my fault for bothering you too much," Su Mucheng said softly, giving Su Lixing a look.
Without a hint of sarcasm, but sohow, she had Su Lixing wrapped around her finger.
He grinned bitterly, then slapped the table, adopting the domineering CEO's deanor and said with authority, "Alright, my dear daughter, you call him out for a al with us tomorrow! As long as he's as smart and capable as you say, no matter what research project he wants to pursue and needs money for, whether it's a million, ten million, or even twenty million, I'll invest in him, alright?!"
These words had an imdiate effect, for Su Mucheng cocked her head, her dark eyes whirling in their sockets as she stared at Su Lixing and asked, "Really?"
"Has Daddy ever lied to you since you were a child?"
"Yes! You said you'd invite Professor Lu over to teach math, did you?"
"Cough cough... um... I ant in terms of money..."
"Nothing cos to mind... Okay then. But I need to ask him first, and if he doesn't agree to et you, and you dare to disturb him secretly, I will never acknowledge you again!"
"Heh... agreed!"
"Can I also invite another professor then?"
"Huh?"
"Dad, my boyfriend doesn't really like talking to fools; I'm worried you'll be embarrassed!"
"Heh..."
