Reborn: Billionaire in College

Chapter 55: The Talented Chen Pingjiang

Time passed quickly and it was late October. That evening, Chen Pingjiang set up a table in a small private room at Xiao Chen BBQ Restaurant.

Zhu Guangtong walked into the box with a middle-aged man in his fifties and winked at Chen Pingjiang: "This is Dean Kuang. Dean, this is the monitor of our class I told you about."

Kuang Minghong is the vice president of the School of Industrial Management and has a good relationship with Zhu Guangtong. Chen Pingjiang and Zhu Guangtong are also very familiar with each other. Zhu Guangtong was thinking about whether he could support Chen Pingjiang in his entrepreneurial journey, so he shamelessly invited Kuang Minghong.

Chen Pingjiang prepared a table full of sumptuous dishes and two bottles of Maotai, which was a huge investment.

If it was a normal student banquet, Kuang Minghong, as the vice president, would not come shamelessly. Everyone was at a different level and could not get along with each other. However, from Zhu Guangtong's continuous description, Kuang Minghong became more and more interested in this student of his college.

"President Kuang, please sit here." Seeing Kuang Minghong sitting down at the serving table, Chen Pingjiang hurried over and supported Kuang Minghong's arm.

Kuang Minghong waved his hand, "No need to be so formal, it doesn't matter where you sit."

"President Kuang, you are our elder in life, Teacher Zhu's leader at work, and also my teacher. If you don't sit in the main seat, then we can only eat while standing." Chen Pingjiang said with a smile.

Kuang Minghong looked at Chen Pingjiang with satisfaction and nodded. The first impression Chen Pingjiang gave him was that this student was polite, worldly-wise and good at speaking. He did not refuse and sat in the main seat.

"Huh, there are only three of us, why did we order so many dishes?" Kuang Minghong saw that the table was full of dishes in a short while.

Chen Pingjiang opened the teapot and poured some for Kuang Minghong and Zhu Guangtong, smiling and saying, "I finally invited you to dinner, but I'm not sure what dishes will suit your taste, so I ordered a few more dishes to let you taste the characteristics of our restaurant. I heard that you are from Huaijiang, so I specially asked the chef to make some Huaiyang dishes today. You can see if they are authentic."

"There are too many dishes." This sentence is often heard when dining with client leaders. The quality of the answer directly determines the other party's first impression of you. Chen Pingjiang's answer is a perfect answer. First, it shows his enthusiasm and kindness, second, it also shows the respect of the other party in his heart, and third, he recommends dishes to bring the topic to a more relaxed direction.

After hearing what Chen Pingjiang said, Kuang Minghong and Zhu Guangtong looked at each other with approval in their eyes. Chen Pingjiang's words were flawless and he was very good at handling things. Zhu Guangtong was also very proud. He asked himself if he had not had Chen Pingjiang's ability even after working in society for many years.

He knows when to advance and when to retreat, and is experienced in dealing with people. He makes people feel comfortable when talking to him, and makes people want to continue chatting with him. He also has good judgment. After the meal, Kuang Minghong had a very good impression of Chen Pingjiang. Such a great student actually came from his own college. However, Chen Pingjiang had a temperament that was inconsistent with his age. He was very patient and did not make any demands from beginning to end. This was rare.

Chen Pingjiang didn't mention it, but Kuang Minghong brought it up first: "The chef in your restaurant is very good at cooking. I heard that a branch has been opened in the Sports College?"

Chen Pingjiang was about to pick up some food, but he put his chopsticks aside when he heard this: "Yes, Dean, we plan to open a third store near the Normal University at the end of the month."

Zhu Guangtong said at the right time: "Student Chen Pingjiang is very good. Not only has he made achievements in catering, but he is also preparing an SNS social platform similar to the campus network, which will be launched soon. In addition, he has also recruited many part-time students within the school to work and study."

Kuang Minghong exclaimed "Oh" in surprise. No matter how well the barbecue restaurant was run, it was just average in his eyes. However, it was a different story when it came to entrepreneurial projects in the Internet field, especially when it came to recruiting students from the school to work and study.

After Zhu Guangtong finished his cooperation, Chen Pingjiang came on stage and talked in detail about Renren's development plan and operational ideas.

Kuang Minghong knocked on the table with great satisfaction: "Although it is still in the initial stage, your development plan is far-sighted and your operational ideas are very clear. By the way, why didn't you go to the University Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship Park to apply for office space?"

"I don't have enough time. I have consulted the relevant parties before, and the answer I got was that I need to submit a business plan and attend the project defense meeting in December after passing the preliminary review." Kuang Minghong nodded: "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten it. Some things involve the system and the procedures must be followed. However, if you have any difficulties before admission, you can raise them. You are also a student of our School of Industrial Management. It will also be an honor for us if you have made achievements."

Chen Pingjiang had been waiting for this sentence, and he quickly said, "Thank you for your understanding and support, Dean. We are indeed in some difficulties now. The office conditions of the newly recruited employees are very poor. Six people share one computer, which greatly affects work efficiency."

After Kuang Minghong pondered for a while, he turned his head and looked at Zhu Guangtong, "Guangtong, Xiao Chen is a student in your class, you have the obligation and responsibility to escort his entrepreneurial project. I think you will be the instructor of this entrepreneurial project. Come to work tomorrow and write a report, and I will approve six old computers for you."

"Okay, okay, Dean."

Several old computers were replaced a while ago. They were just sitting there, and no one would use them. Kuang Minghong had a good relationship with Zhu Guangtong. Chen Pingjiang was a student of the School of Industrial Management, and he liked Chen Pingjiang very much. The most important thing was that Kuang Minghong found this project very interesting, and no one would gossip about supporting a few old computers.

Chen Pingjiang picked up the wine glass without saying anything and stood up: "Dean, this glass of wine is not only for me but also for all my colleagues at Renren.com. Thank you for your support and cultivation."

Kuang Minghong smiled and waved his hand: "You should thank your counselor."

Chen Pingjiang offered another toast: "Teacher Zhu, thank you for your trust and support. In the future, under your and the dean's guidance, Renren.com will work hard to do a good job and live up to the expectations of the teachers."

The tribute was meant for Zhu Guangtong, but actually Kuang Minghong was also included.

"Xiao Zhu, we should support Chen Pingjiang's entrepreneurship, especially in the initial stage when there are many things to do, not enough manpower, and the work is very busy. You need to communicate with the teachers."

"Okay, boss, I'll arrange it when I get back."

In a word, our classmate Chen has obtained a golden ticket to skip classes.

After eating and drinking, Chen Pingjiang sent Kuang Minghong and Zhu Guangtong out of Xiao Chen BBQ through the back door. There were already two taxis waiting at the door. The chef was smoking with the window open out of boredom, and when he saw the customers coming, he quickly put out his cigarette.

Chen Pingjiang had someone contact these two cars before dinner and has been waiting until now.

Sitting in the back seat of the taxi, Kuang Minghong had been resting his eyes on the way back. Suddenly, his right hand touched a sharp object. He turned his head and saw a black plastic bag. "Master, it seems someone left something in the back seat."

The taxi driver spoke in Dongjiang dialect: "It wasn't left behind by someone else. It was left there by the guy who just dropped you off."

"Ah!?" Kuang Minghong was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. He was such a shrewd person, the gifts he gave were irresistible.

When Kuang Minghong opened the plastic bag, he saw two bright red eggs.
