Chapter 752

"Then..." Chen Wei hesitated for a moment and asked again: "Do you plan to keep following her in the future?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Because I see that your studio has more and more people now; it's actually big enough to be a small-scale company. Have you never thought about becoming independent?"

Chen Wei asked casually, sounding as if she were discussing it with him.

Li Yanwu didn't think much and just said: "No, the Junior is very good to us, very good from the very beginning, and has done a lot for us."

"Besides, the artificial intelligence field burns money. Although we've earned some money, if any mistakes occur later on, it's very likely we'll return to square one overnight."

"So having an investor who supports and understands us is very important. Even if we really did part ways with the Junior, we would still need other investors. Rather than that, we are definitely more willing to be with the Junior."

Chen Wei listened and nodded silently.

Li Yanwu thought this topic had ended here, but unexpectedly, Chen Wei was silent for a while before suddenly looking at him and saying: "Yanwu, I have an appointment with someone this afternoon. Will you accompany me to meet them?"

"An appointment with someone? Who?"

"It's an interview, I suppose."

"So urgent?"

Li Yanwu was a bit shocked, but upon second thought, he felt there was no problem. Chen Wei is already in the second half of her junior year, and many capable people start interviewing for internships at this time.

Seizing the opportunity first—after all, many companies like to hire fresh graduates, but there aren't many good positions, so one must strike first when competition is fierce.

"Alright, then I'll accompany you this afternoon."

Shen Ci finished putting away her things in the dorm, then sat in a chair and drank a glass of water, tilted her head to look at Lianxing's bed, and checked the time.

She thought to herself that this young lady was arriving too late.

Had she forgotten that school started today?

Just as she was about to call her to ask, this young lady arrived.

The door pushed open, and Lianxing, wearing beautiful clothes and carrying a small Hermès house bag, directed the person beside her: "Just put it here."

Seeing this, Shen Ci and Pili both subconsciously leaned over.

They recognized at a glance that the person who had sent Lianxing to school today and helped her carry her luggage was Jiang Yan, a small go-kart coach from the club.

"Ms., Ms. Shen."

Jiang Yan was startled when he saw Shen Ci; after all, Shen Ci is now the boss of the club, and he immediately assumed the posture of an employee seeing their boss.

Shen Ci didn't speak, just glanced at Lianxing.

"You go back first, we'll contact via WeChat." Lianxing waved her hand.

Jiang Yan nodded and said to Shen Ci: "Ms. Shen, I'll be going now."

Watching his retreating back, Shen Ci frowned.

"Have you completely changed the person who sends you upstairs?"

Although she had deliberately kept her distance from Jiang Lingchuan before, at least Jiang Lingchuan was the one who helped her with her luggage when school started last semester.

"He knew I was starting school today and insisted on picking me up and dropping me off," Lianxing said sweetly, clearly very pleased with this gesture from Jiang Yan.

Shen Ci and Pili exchanged a look; no wonder she arrived so late.

"You two have been together for over half a year, right? Purely platonic? Have you kissed?" Pili asked directly.

At first, Lianxing was a bit embarrassed to talk about such questions, but now she had figured some things out, so she said: "I might pursue emotional value more in a relationship. I think it's quite happy being with him."

"Does he think so too?" Pili pressed.

Lianxing nodded: "I think so."

Shen Ci wanted to sneer but held back, because she didn't believe it at all.

Men—there isn't one who doesn't care about those things.

Unless they really can't.

Some people who can't will still bite the bullet and try, or they'll come up with other tricks; in any case, they have to roll in bed.

"How do you two usually provide emotional value to each other?" Shen Ci asked.

Lianxing recalled and said: "Just going out to play together, strolling around, eating and drinking, and things like that. He even asked me to go to a bar with him tonight, saying he wanted to introduce his friends to me."

"You agreed?"

Lianxing nodded: "He mentioned it before, but I have a bit of social anxiety. But today, I thought that we've been together for quite a while, so it's nothing to go meet his friends."

This was true, but Pili still took the initiative to say: "I happen to be free tonight, I'll go with you."

"Great!" Lianxing immediately became excited: "It's been a long time since we went to a bar to play. A-Ci, are you going?"

Shen Ci naturally knew that Pili was worried about Lianxing, so she also nodded: "Sure, let's go together then. Call Zhenzhen and Su Zheyuan."

The few of them hit it off immediately; Lianxing was no longer socially anxious—with friends around, that was her home turf.

At noon, after finishing their meal, Li Yanwu followed Chen Wei to a café.

At the entrance, Li Yanwu couldn't help but be surprised: "An interview here? What kind of company is it?"

"You'll know once you go inside."

Before Li Yanwu could react, he had already been pulled into the café by Chen Wei.

"Chen Wei!"

"Li Xiao!"

Inside the café, someone stood up from afar and waved at Chen Wei, and that person was none other than Li Xiao.

Only when they got close did Li Yanwu recognize Li Xiao, and his eyes immediately widened. Before he could speak, Li Xiao took the initiative to reach out his hand: "Hello, Senior, I am Li Xiao."

Li Yanwu glanced at Li Xiao's outstretched hand and did not shake it, but instead, anger flared in his eyes as he looked at Chen Wei: "You lied to me?"

Chen Wei herself was a bit nervous, but she still feigned calmness and said: "What did I lie to you about? It really is an interview!"

"An interview? You want to join the Li Group?" He looked at Li Xiao, then back at Chen Wei: "How do you know him?"

Chen Wei is in the Mathematics Department, and Li Xiao was in the Astronomy Department at Keda; the two were not classmates.

Chen Wei said truthfully: "We met during the collective military training in our freshman year. Yanwu, Li Xiao has offered very good conditions; both the salary and benefits and the development prospects are quite good. Let's listen to what he has to say!"

In fact, Chen Wei had noticed Li Xiao during freshman military training because he was handsome, and later she deliberately found opportunities to become friends with him.

It's just that they didn't talk much afterward, but then a few days ago, Li Xiao suddenly took the initiative to contact her.

"Listen if you want to, I have nothing to talk about with people from the Li Group."

Li Yanwu glared at Li Xiao and turned to leave, but was grabbed by Chen Wei.

Chen Wei looked troubled, her tone filled with pleading: "Yanwu, just listen to it. After listening, if you still don't agree, I absolutely won't say anything, okay?"

"You said you were coming for an interview, that's why I accompanied you. If you had said earlier that you were bringing me to meet someone from the Li Group, I definitely wouldn't have come. Chen Wei, how could you use such methods to deceive me?"

"I really didn't lie to you, I am here for an interview today too."

Li Xiao spoke up at the right moment from the side: "Chen Wei is here to interview for the position of supervisor of the Li Group's Artificial Intelligence Product Department."

"Supervisor?" Li Yanwu's eyes widened in shock, and finally, he laughed abruptly. He looked at Chen Wei and asked: "You believe this kind of thing? You haven't even graduated yet! They're letting you be a supervisor?"
