Reborn: Billionaire in College

With summer here, Chen Pingjiang's sleep time has been reduced accordingly. He gets up at 6 a.m., jogs in the gym for 20 minutes, takes a shower, eats, and looks after his two children before getting on a special car and going to work at Renren.com as usual.

After several years of development, one building is no longer enough for Renren.

In addition to a development center in Shanghai, a 42-story building was temporarily rebuilt next to the Twin Towers to accommodate the increasingly crowded office environment.

Building B of the Gemini has always been leased to Renrengou and Zhizhen Catering Group. As Renrengou grows bigger, the space becomes increasingly insufficient.

As soon as he arrived at the chairman's administrative office, Chen Pingjiang was shocked. He hadn't been here for a few days and almost thought he had walked into the wrong door.

Normally this floor is eerily quiet. When you get out of the elevator, you can only hear some talking coming from the secretariat.

Today was different. As soon as I got out of the special elevator, I saw a few guys running towards the elevator in a hurry, holding documents, and gasping for breath.

Then there was a chaotic sound in my ears.

The cameras and props were all crowded together.

Xu Rui happened to be passing by the elevator hall and saw Chen Pingjiang. He quickly came over to greet him. He seemed to see Chen Pingjiang's confusion and explained considerately, "The crew of "The Heart-Stirring Offer" is here."

Chen Pingjiang slapped his head.

Oh, it really is!
I almost forgot about this.

This is a fast-produced variety show that has been in preparation for several months and is the first large-scale observation reality show in the country.

Unable to resist Wan Yuqian's pestering, Chen Pingjiang agreed to move the filming location to Renren.

But, what does this mess look like?
Chen Pingjiang frowned and walked straight towards the office without saying a word.

Xu Rui followed carefully, not daring to breathe heavily. After following Chen Pingjiang for a long time, he could roughly understand his boss's thoughts and emotions.

"Mr. Chen... Mr. Chen." A middle-aged man in his thirties wearing a black T-shirt was originally scolding another person standing next to him. When he looked up, he saw a strange yet familiar figure walking towards him.

Although he had never met Chen Pingjiang, the big boss of the entertainment group had given him some advice before he came here to shoot.

As the top director on the set, Fei Wei looked for a lot of photos of Chen Pingjiang on the Internet, for fear of accidentally offending the True Buddha.

After finally making it to a big group, Fei Wei finally had a few days of comfortable life, which was much better than having no films to shoot.

"Hmm?" Chen Pingjiang nodded without further communication.

Only after watching Chen Pingjiang go away did Xu Rui turn back and complain, "Ask your people to keep their voices down. We in the secretariat don't care. Please don't disturb Director Chen from working."

"Yes, yes, I'll tell them right away. Sorry to bother you, Secretary Xu." It was a hot summer day, and even though the air-conditioning was turned on high, Fei Wei still broke out in a cold sweat, thinking of how he had just yelled at someone.

The prop master next to him was also dumbfounded.

What’s even more interesting is that when Fei Wei turned around, he saw a group of people not far behind him looking at this side and talking.

The stars who served as observation mentors are Nazha, Ni Na and Deng Chao.

This trio doesn't seem to match well no matter how you look at it, because Nazha herself doesn't think before she speaks, and there is also a big age gap between the male and female guests.

But who says Nazha and Ni Na are the group’s leading actresses?

Seeing Chen Pingjiang walking past them, Nazha and Nina each had their own thoughts. They looked at his agile back with excitement on their slightly infatuated faces as he left, and they could no longer hold back the emotions in their hearts.

When Chen Pingjiang found out that these two little ancestors were the guests, his face immediately turned green.

After he came to his senses, he realized that Wan Yuqian definitely did it on purpose!

Don’t talk about supporting your own stars!
They are definitely here to have fun and clean up the place!
I quickly called Wan Yuqian, but I didn't expect Wan Yuqian to have such a good attitude.

"So do you think we should evacuate all of them, or just one of Nazha and Nina?"

"..."

Chen Pingjiang hung up the phone with his nose pinched.

This is a deadly multiple-choice question. Whoever chooses this is a fool.

After thinking about it, I decided to go to Qingshan Lake to work this month. Out of sight, out of mind.

While Chen Pingjiang was annoyed, the conversation on the other end about "The Heart-Stirring Offer" was going on enthusiastically.

In particular, several amateur applicants who participated in the performance were extremely excited.

Who doesn’t know Chen Pingjiang?

Many people even come to participate in the variety show just for Renren.

After all, there are indeed many outstanding people among them, and those who meet the requirements can directly start working on Renren.com.

…………

Chen Pingjiang hid in the Qingshan Lake base, leaving Nazha and Nina staring at the office door anxiously.

The two of them were of similar age and worked in the same company, so naturally they had a lot to talk about and gradually they became close friends.

We usually chat during breaks in shooting.

In fact, they were the only two people who could chat with each other on the set. The others were either students or staff members. They couldn't talk to the old man Deng Chao.

But somehow the topic turned to Chen Pingjiang.

"According to gossip, Ms. Wan is actually the senior student of big boss Mr. Chen."

"I had heard about it before and thought it was fake, but after reading the report I realized it was true."

"It seems that Director Chen didn't come to work today?"

"Well, I secretly saw him frowning yesterday. I guess he was annoyed by the noise."

As she spoke, Nazha secretly sent a text message to Chen Pingjiang.

Then he turned around and said, "But Mr. Chen is so handsome. He is even more handsome in person than he looks online. The most important thing is that he looks so serious when he frowns. He looks like a domineering boss."

Nina raised her hands in agreement: "It's much better than those celebrities in the circle."

She was so excited that she also sent a text message to Chen Pingjiang.

These two people usually didn't dare to harass Chen Pingjiang, but today they became bold at the same time.

Chen Pingjiang, who was in a meeting, had just put down his phone after replying to a WeChat message. When he picked it up again, he was immediately in tears and laughed.

Did these two people agree to send WeChat messages to themselves together?

"In the first half of this year..." The reporter paused consciously when he saw Chen Pingjiang was replying to a message.

Unexpectedly, Chen Pingjiang waved his hand: "Go on."

"We have basically completed all R&D progress in the first half of the year, and have made major breakthroughs in the fields of smart cockpit, assisted driving, lidar, algorithms, and one-piece casting body."

After replying to the message, Chen Pingjiang nodded and said, "Do a good job in connecting with BYD. Also, how is the development of the new model going?"

"BYD has already given us the vehicle's exterior and related parameters, but the concept car won't be ready until early next year at the earliest."

"It's okay to go slow, but you must strive for perfection."

Jiuzhou Automobile's progress is much faster than that of Huaxin Wafer Factory. They have just started trial production and are developing 40-nanometer chips, but here they are about to produce a concept car.

In Chen Pingjiang's plan, the automotive chips were to be produced by Huaxin as a training exercise.

The threshold for automotive chips is relatively low, and they are mature and do not require high technology. Currently, chip companies are working overtime to develop microcontrollers, in-vehicle information processing platforms, autonomous driving chips, and connectivity chips.

Chen Pingjiang may not necessarily want to do everything himself, but these things are all new concepts, and the future star products have not yet come out.

For example, Nvidia's Drive AGX, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820A, etc.

Chen Pingjiang has high expectations for Jiuzhou Auto's first new car. The vehicle is positioned for a relatively high-end group of people, and the estimated price on the market is between 50 and 60 yuan, which directly hits the ribs of BBA.

Only when I actually started making cars did I realize how difficult it was. Fortunately, BYD provided hardware support.

As soon as the meeting ended, Chen Pingjiang, who had just walked out, met the person he least wanted to see - Wan Yuqian.

Today, Wan Yuqian was wearing a smart suit and had a neat short hair. She was looking at Chen Pingjiang with her eyes rolled.

I went to Renren to look for you, and when I saw you weren't there, I knew you had hidden here.

Chen Pingjiang was startled and turned to look at his secretary Xu Rui, who quickly lowered his head in shame and did not dare to look at Chen Pingjiang.

"It has nothing to do with Secretary Xu. I have something serious to report to you through Secretary Xu, and that's why he told me to come here to find you." Wan Yuqian quickly made up a sentence to excuse Xu Rui.

Chen Pingjiang chuckled: "What on earth is going on that made you rush to me in such a hurry?"

"The crew of "Offer" wants to find you to cooperate in shooting a scene, but the director didn't dare to tell you and came to me instead. What can I do? I can only come and beg you." Wan Yuqian said.

Chen Pingjiang's scalp tingles when he talks about this.

"I am the richest man after all. Have you ever seen a richest man appear on a variety show? Isn't that funny? Don't you want to save face?"

"It's not that serious. Listen to me! I just want Xu Rui to appear on camera, and then the camera will capture the moment when Xu Rui closes the door and you are signing in the office. How about it, isn't it simple?" In order to work for Chen Pingjiang, Wan Yuqian even started to act coquettishly when talking.

Chen Pingjiang shook his head like a rattle. It was true that no good things could come to him, and all that came to him were these kinds of bad things.

Since when is it necessary for a big guy to appear in person and sacrifice his looks?

Caught off guard, Wan Yuqian stepped forward, grabbed Chen Pingjiang's arm and shook it, saying in a sweet voice, "Alas, originally the gimmick of this variety show was you, and the purpose of filming it on Renren was because of you. Now you don't show up, how are we going to explain to the audience? This is the first variety show that QVOD has adopted the paid model, and it can't die halfway."

Chen Pingjiang was frightened by Wan Yuqian's behavior. He quickly shrank back and pulled his arm away naturally.

This woman is too deep, you have to be on guard!

Don't sell it to yourself and then have to count the money for her.

Xu Rui next to him took a step back without leaving a trace, turned around and left.

How could a small follower like him bear to see such a scene?

What he didn't expect was that the legendary Nun Miejue actually had such a girlish side.

Sure enough, not everyone can see this side. The beautiful flowers only bloom for specific people.

I guess if the old employees of Renren.com saw this, their eyes would drop out.

Thinking of Nazha and Ni Na on the same stage, Chen Pingjiang's face darkened again, "Why didn't you think of today when you were plotting against me before?"

"Oh, don't worry about these details. Besides, I've already explained it to you a long time ago. You're a grown man, why are you being so fussy?"

Chen Pingjiang: “…”

As expected, only Wan Yuqian dares to be so disrespectful.

"In a word, whether to shoot or not, be quick."

"Pat, pat, pat!"

"That's more like it." After getting the promise, Wan Yuqian smiled like a flower and felt extremely comfortable inside.

These two are a funny couple.

Everyone enjoys bickering with each other.

Among all the women, only Wan Yuqian could argue with him like this.

Sometimes Chen Pingjiang doesn't want to destroy this relationship and hopes to maintain it.

"That's it, I have to hurry back and ask the crew to make some preparations." Before leaving, Wan Yuqian suddenly remembered: "By the way, my uncle mentioned you a few days ago and said he wanted to have a drink with you."

Wan Yuqian's uncle is Kuang Minghong, who is also one of Chen Pingjiang's benefactors.

"It's been so long since I graduated." Chen Pingjiang nodded with emotion: "Let me know when you set a time, and I will definitely come to your house."

"Drinking is one thing, but the main purpose is to give you a master's degree certificate."

Chen Pingjiang: “…”

Depend on!
If Wan Yuqian hadn't said it, Chen Pingjiang would have almost forgotten about it.

Before I knew it, I had graduated with a master's degree.

I only read this book when I signed it at the beginning of the school year and got to know the old professor.

I never went there again, and the textbooks I got were all brand new and had never been touched.

I was able to graduate in such a confused manner. I can only say that the school invested a lot of money in it.

Based on Chen Pingjiang's understanding of the University of Finance and Economics, he estimated that this time Kuang Minghong invited him to drink, and maybe even wanted to trick him into getting a doctorate at the same time.

As time went by after graduation, Chen Pingjiang's contact with his alma mater became less and less.

In a few years, I may never go back.

By that time, Chen Pingjiang would be a photo of the best alumnus for the University of Finance and Economics.

But the University of Finance and Economics really couldn't bear to let him go, so it was understandable that they wanted him to continue his doctoral studies.

After coming out from Chen Pingjiang's place, Wan Yuqian let out a long sigh, her face slightly flushed.

The coquettishness she just showed was one of the few ways she could express herself.

In her current position, Wan Yuqian tends to have a cold face and is serious.

In fact, the pressure was huge. The young girl wanted to convince the crowd, but she didn't have Chen Pingjiang's ability to control the crowd, so she could only force herself to put on a stern face.

When I first joined Renren, I was a rather aggressive girl, but now I have become like this.

It is not surprising that she has special feelings for Chen Pingjiang. Wan Yuqian and Shu Mang have a good relationship. As powerful cadres who joined the company at the same time, they have the most contact with Chen Pingjiang.

Watching Chen Pingjiang step by step reach where he is today, I feel deeply moved and at the same time, I am getting deeper and deeper into the trap.

For example, Wan Yuqian had discovered that Shu Mang had secretly stared at Chen Pingjiang's back in a daze more than once.

It’s just that some feelings are destined to be hidden in the heart and cannot be expressed.

After meeting Chen Pingjiang's official girlfriend, Wan Yuqian felt that she was not as good as him. At the same time, she had been in contact with Chen Pingjiang for a long time, and it was difficult for her to choose a partner casually under his influence.

As a result, the two Dharma protectors remain single until today.

What a sin.

Chen Pingjiang is carefully maintaining normal relationships with colleagues, and Wan Yuqian is also being cautious.

Some things can only be kept in the heart. (End of this chapter)
