Lin Tian, Shen ngyi, and Wang Ying embarked on their journey to Wu'an City. The return trip wasn't as rushed. Shen Zhe had found a car, a rcedes-Benz limousine, which was very spacious for the three of them—they could comfortably play the card ga, "Fight the Landlord."
Inside the car, Shen ngyi was playing Mobile Ball Brawl, a ga Lin Tian had never tried. He listened in and occasionally heard so curse words, dialects from all over the country; so of these curses were so unfamiliar that Lin Tian couldn't understand them.
However, there was one phrase he did understand.
"Sad little girl, what happened to our cooperation, you betray you damn your mother!"
Shen ngyi imdiately stuck out her tongue and yelled at the screen, "You jerk!"
Then she quickly turned off her phone and said embarrassingly to Lin Tian, "The quality of players in Mobile Ball Brawl is really low, they start cursing at the slightest conflict. I'm going to uninstall it and never play again."
She seed to have forgotten that she was also a player of Mobile Ball Brawl, inadvertently cursing herself in the process.
Shen ngyi was visibly guilty as she spoke; just now, she had agreed to cooperate with another player during her ga, then she betrayed them, which resulted in their cursing her. Embarrassed to continue playing, she simply turned off her phone.
Lin Tian wasn't familiar with the ins and outs of Mobile Ball Brawl, but he had just learned a very important piece of information—Shen ngyi's gaming handle was "Sad Little Girl."
The nickna was quite lancholic.
Lin Tian asked, "Why is your gaming na 'Sad Little Girl'?"
Shen ngyi pouted and replied, "I used to be called 'Cute Little Girl,' but the matter of the forced marriage made sad, so I changed it to 'Sad Little Girl.'
"Are you still sad now?" Lin Tian asked.
Shen ngyi looked at Lin Tian, shook her head seriously, and said, "Not sad anymore."
"Then you should change your gaming na back to 'Cute Little Girl,' that sounds nicer."
"Mm, okay," Shen ngyi agreed, nodding and imdiately changed her gaming userna.
Afterward, Shen ngyi rested her head on Lin Tian's shoulder and mused, "Lin Tian, our Shen family's legacy has lasted for seven generations, spanning two to three hundred years. To outsiders, we live an enviable life of ease, but they don't know the pain of being born into a wealthy family."
Having said that, Shen ngyi sighed deeply and said dreamily, "When will I be able to own a company of my own, the biggest company in the world, no longer constrained by others, no longer needing to care about anyone's opinions?"
As Shen ngyi spoke, her face was filled with hope. She wasn't a girl who craved vanity, but she had promised her father that she would expand the family business even without relying on the Wang family.
After speaking, Shen ngyi stuck out her tongue, visibly guilty, as she was rely dreaming. Growing a company to be the largest in the world required talent, luck, capital, connections, and more. The Shen family's centuries-old legacy and generations of effort hadn't placed them among the global companies; how could Shen ngyi, a young girl, start from scratch and expand a company to be the world's largest?
Thinking this, she furrowed her brows, feeling a hint of disappointnt in her heart.
Shen ngyi's casual complaint plunged Lin Tian into deep thought. At that mont, Lin Tian was eager to establish his own foundation and build his own influence. Chen Lihui's healing potion was just his first step, but having a product wasn't enough; he also needed a CEO who could manage the company's operations.
Clearly, Chen Lihui was not suitable. As a researcher, Chen Lihui was good at inventing and creating but not at managing a company. For example, to be a top executive in a company, one must have strong connections, but when Chen was at the hospital, the dean and Wang Jianhui ganged up against him. Although it wasn't Chen Lihui's fault, this indirectly showed that Chen Lihui's interpersonal relationships were inadequate for a CEO role.
But Shen ngyi was different. Even though she was still a student and hadn't entered society yet, she was incredibly popular among her peers. More importantly, having grown up in the Shen family, with Shen Zhe and Mu Wanqing, both business elites, she knew so business tactics from experience.
Shen ngyi's dream was to start the world's largest company, and Lin Tian shared the sa aspiration. Suddenly, he had a bold idea—he wanted Shen ngyi to be the CEO of his company.
Lin Tian's goal was to grow his company to be the largest in the world. Being a cautious person, although he had this idea, he needed Shen ngyi to et his standards.
Lin Tian decided to pose three minor problems to test Shen ngyi. If Shen ngyi's answers satisfied him, he would appoint her as the president of his company, overseeing everything.
Lin Tian took Shen ngyi's hand and asked her, "If there was a restaurant near your ho that was expensive, awful, and unpalatable, and the place was infested with bugs, would you keep patronizing it just because it's convenient?"
Shen ngyi shook her head and said, "Lin Tian, why would you ask such a weird question? If the food is bad, why bother going? Just find another restaurant. I wouldn't be so obsessed with such a thing."
After hearing this, Lin Tian nodded, very satisfied. A company's president needs to take care of all aspects of the business. Being too fixated on one issue or too pedantic can hinder the company's developnt. Being pedantic was what Chen Lihui would do, not what a president should do.
Subsequently, Lin Tian posed a second question related to a business math problem. "Master Wang sells shoes. The cost price of one shoe is 35 yuan. Now, he's selling at a loss in a clearance sale. A custor bought a pair of shoes for 30 yuan and gave Master Wang 100 yuan. Master Wang didn't have change, so he got it changed from a neighbor. Later, the neighbor discovered that the 100 yuan was counterfeit and the bank confiscated it. Master Wang then compensated her with another 100 yuan. How much money did Master Wang lose in total?"
"140 yuan."
As soon as Lin Tian finished speaking, Shen ngyi imdiately said the correct number, and she added sowhat proudly, "Lin Tian, can you ask so more sophisticated and valuable questions? This kind of problem, my mom asked when I was five years old. It's too childish. Let test you; if a half hen lays half an egg in a day and a half, how many eggs will six half hens lay in six and a half days?"
The question completely stumped Lin Tian. He began to fiddle with his fingers, muttering, "One half hen, six half hens, a day and a half, six and a half days..."
Then he felt embarrassed. After more than a minute, Lin Tian still couldn't figure it out, and he got caught fiddling with his fingers by Shen ngyi.
"Hahaha..., Lin Tian, how old are you that you're still fiddling with your fingers? Hahaha, embarrassing, I'm embarrassed for you, hahaha..."
Lin Tian, well aware of his limitation, admitted, "It's supposed to be testing you. How did it turn to you testing ? Let ask you another question."
"Suppose you are a wealthy person and you invited three popular movie stars to the grand opening of your new store. The problem is there are only two dressing rooms. How would you handle this situation to prevent any of the stars from getting upset?"
This question seed simple but reflected one's ability to manage interpersonal relationships.
Shen ngyi didn't imdiately answer. She thought for thirty seconds and said, "I would lock one dressing room and have all three stars share the other one."
Lin Tian nodded in satisfaction. The three questions represented Shen ngyi's ability to handle three types of problems. Although sowhat one-sided, they at least proved that Shen ngyi definitely had what it takes to be a president.
Then, Lin Tian grasped Shen ngyi's shoulders firmly and said earnestly, "Shen ngyi, since you want to start the world's largest company and want to grow the Shen Family's business so that the Shen Family won't be subservient to anyone, let's partner up. I also want to start the world's largest company. I have the capital and the products, but I'm lacking a president who can oversee the big picture. Co help , and together we can establish the world's largest company, amazing the world."
"Ah...!" Shen ngyi uttered nonsensically, staring blankly at Lin Tian, slightly confused.
Lin Tian sensed Shen ngyi's disbelief. He shook her body a bit and said, "I'm not joking with you; I'm serious."
Following that, Lin Tian explained to Shen ngyi the details about Chen Lihui's healing potion and his own goals.
In the end, Shen ngyi believed him, but she still doubted herself and said, "Your ambitions are so grand, I... I'm just a student; can I really handle this position?"
Lin Tian encouraged her, "The Shen Family has been in business for seven generations. So things are in your bones. From the mont you were born, you've been influenced by your parents. When it cos to doing business, you have more talent than most people. Plus, you have your father, the business tycoon. If there's anything you don't understand, you can always consult him. Believe in yourself; you can definitely handle this position."
"But... but, I...!" Shen ngyi still doubted herself. She knew of Lin Tian's capabilities, but she feared that she would hold him back and cause him loss.
Lin Tian said, "Don't you want the Shen Family to no longer be subservient to anyone? Don't you want your parents to break free from the Wang Family's shadow? With effort, nothing is impossible. You believe in yourself, and I believe in you too."
Lin Tian had now beco the most important person to Shen ngyi. Watching him encourage her, ngyi's eyes brimd with excited tears as she nodded and agreed, "Okay, I promise you, I will work hard!"
Lin Tian smiled reassuringly. He believed that his choice in people would never be wrong—and Shen ngyi would definitely not let him down!
