That day, after signing the cooperation agreement, Lin Mingjun hosted Ni Gong, inviting him to the Jiele Xian night club to meet some ladies. The club's hostess warmly welcomed them and immediately summoned three or four girls to join them, pointing to one named Afang and saying, "This is our head performer—do you find her appealing, Ni Gong?" Afang, upon seeing Ni Gong, immediately became very attentive and said, "When you visited last time, you were absolutely wonderful! I've missed you so much in the past half-month!" Then she began gently rubbing against Ni Gong's body. Yet Ni Gong remained completely unmoved, which surprised Lin Mingjun beside him. "Is it possible that Ni Gong has no interest in women?" Ni Gong only smiled and said to Afang, "For me, women are like paper towels—once used, they're just thrown away." "You...?" Afang felt taken aback and walked off, somewhat disappointed. Ni Gong then burst into laughter and turned to another lively and graceful girl, Ahua, and said, "Come here—today, Ni Gong is really interested in you!" Ahua hurried over, cooing, "Master Ni, I miss you so much!" She then leaned in, bringing her full, lush breasts close to Master Ni's eyes. Master Ni smiled lasciviously, "Your breasts are so big! Let me feel them!" He reached out with one dirty hand and roughly squeezed, causing Ahua to involuntarily arch and cry out in pleasure. Unable to contain himself any longer as Ahua's ample breasts kept brushing against his hands, Master Ni thought she must have been quite some time without intimate contact with a man. So he lifted her and laid her gently on the sofa. The two soon got straight to business, plunging into passionate action. The sultry murmurs and cries from their lovemaking stirred Lin Mingjun's excitement. At that moment, a young lady approached, and the two quickly settled into their conversation. Master Ni and Lin Mingjun each held a woman, indulging in their own pleasures. At the same time, Gao Liang passed by the Jiele Xian Night Club. A young lady at the entrance waved at him enthusiastically. Gao Liang had never been to such a place before and found it curious, so he walked toward her. The young lady smiled warmly and greeted him, "Hey, handsome! Come inside and sit down!" With that, she pulled him into the nightclub. Gao Liang settled into a soft leather chair and took the tea that the young lady brought him, sipping it slowly—its flavor was as sweet as honey. "Wow, today's really good luck for me! Having beautiful girls serving tea and water!" Gao Liang thought to himself with a smile. At that moment, the young lady gently massaged his shoulders while smiling, "Hey, handsome, would you like some extra service?" "Extra service?" Gao Liang was momentarily confused, a bit puzzled. "It's very safe here. Affordable prices, top-notch service!" Seeing that Gao Liang looked a bit unsure, she knew he was new to this, so she became even more attentive and enthusiastic. "Whatever you feel comfortable with—just let me know!" Gao Liang stammered as he spoke, overwhelmed by the lady's warmth and enthusiasm—especially her two full, round breasts, so ample they seemed about to burst through the fabric, swaying gently in front of him, creating a steady, flowing rhythm that made Gao Liang's eyes nearly pop out. The lady's grace was captivating, pressing close like sticky caramel, deliberately brushing her generous breasts against Gao Liang's hands, making him feel an irresistible urge to grasp and squeeze them. She led Gao Liang into a cozy private room of the nightclub, which featured a television, a video player (for viewing explicit videos), a small side table, and a bed. Once inside, she pushed Gao Liang gently onto the bed and quickly settled herself beside him. Gao Liang found this quite uncomfortable—he couldn't recall, from his wedding day with Gao Cui Lan, ever being so eager and restless. No need to overthink—it was already clear that a sharp, fragrant scent was sweeping over Gao Liang, as the lady had pressed her two full, generous breasts firmly against him. Her hands, restless and eager, had already reached down to his inner thighs, sending a powerful wave of pleasure through his entire body. "Miss, please, don't do this!" Gao Liang chanted prayers deep within his heart, though even so, a tent had already risen beneath him. "Ah-ah-ah!" the lady laughed, gazing at him with a sultry expression and chuckling, "Sir, what should I not do?" As she spoke, her hands had already grasped his member. A sensation long absent surged powerfully through Gao Liang’s nerves. If it weren’t for his companions, Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing, protecting the Buddha’s disciple Tang Sanzang on their journey to the West, and having cultivated a strong foundation of Buddhist inner strength, Gao Liang—by his very nature—would have been unable to hold back and would have rushed forward already. "I just wish to be a bit more reserved, Miss. Please move your hands a little!" Gao Li "Hey, how come you're so stuffy? That's not casual—it's called openness! Do you understand?" The lady smiled flirtatiously at him. In her eyes, men everywhere were the same—always eager for romance, always saying nice things, yet rarely truly committed to their partners. How many could actually hold their own in the increasingly open times? And how many, in this era of growing openness, could truly stay faithful? "I'm sorry, but I simply can't accept this kind of openness!" High Light pushed the lady aside and stormed out. Behind him, she kept calling after him, but he paid no attention. As Brook was about to declare the meeting adjourned, he heard a young man speaking fluently in English: "Hold on! I've just brought an IT product that outperforms its peers—would everyone be interested in a brief introduction?" Several senior executives, eager to leave early, simply waved him off. Brook recognized the young man as Gao Heng, and calmly remarked, "Mr. Gao, isn't this a visit to make a personal appeal?" Gao Heng politely greeted everyone and said, "I'd kindly ask for five minutes of your time to present a concise introduction of this outstanding product. If it doesn't appeal to you, I'll certainly not interrupt your schedule." Brook and the others sensed Gao's sincerity and composure, so they nodded in agreement. Everyone settled quietly in their seats, listening attentively as Gao delivered his brief presentation. Huangdao quickly pulled out a personal notebook, opened the carefully prepared electronic presentation, and projected it onto the soft white screen. Turning to the first slide, he pointed to a 3D computer rendering of a new product and delivered a fluent, professional presentation in English: "The product our group is about to launch stands out as the most outstanding among all our offerings. It features three key attributes. First, in design, it embodies a distinctive, user-centric approach that consistently highlights individuality. Second, in manufacturing, it emphasizes strong technical capabilities—utilizing cutting-edge production processes and maintaining rigorous quality control throughout, surpassing similar products on the market. Third, in terms of service—after-sales support has become a major highlight—there is a growing emphasis on the trend of 'service networking.' This will be the first membership club-style 'premium points community' launched by our group domestically." All IT customers who purchase genuine, original products from Linkuo Group bearing the 'Generous Points' label can join the Generous Points Club by online registration and redeem their points for various gifts. Moreover, customers can check product authenticity online, and VIP members enjoy personalized services such as dedicated hotline support and birthday greetings. To achieve this, Linkuo Group has established an integrated operational system covering everything from foundational IT infrastructure to gift procurement and logistics distribution. Through our continuous efforts, I am confident that as a consumer, you will experience increasingly convenient and human-centered services. Everyone listened attentively and spontaneously clapped their hands. However, after the applause, one technical engineer remarked, "Yet, currently, Linkuo Group's products look like this!" "With that, the technical engineer presented the IT products from the Lianchuang Group and said to everyone, 'You've just seen that this product isn't as flawless as the one the previous speaker described!' 'Exactly! We have indeed developed a new product line, but due to the large-scale rollout and delayed receivables, we're currently facing temporary cash flow challenges and can't immediately ramp up production.' High Huang was exceptionally open and honest, and this sincerity earned the admiration and trust of everyone present. 'Mr. Huang, can you guarantee that your group will be able to produce such a product in the near future?' asked Executive Chairman Brook. 'If so, I'm ready to prepay 6 billion U.S. dollars!' 'Absolutely, Mr. Brook! I guarantee it. All you need to do is sign the agreement with Lianchuang Group tomorrow!' Mr. Huang responded sincerely. 'OK! OK! OK!' Brook and the senior management members cheered enthusiastically. After the meeting, Gao Liang went to Gao Ruolan's home, where her parents were both absent, and they talked freely and openly. Gao Ruolan suggested that Gao Liang return home and re-enroll in school, but Gao Liang said he didn't want to go home—he wanted to prove to his father that he was truly outstanding. Gao Ruolan looked at Gao Liang with admiration and said, "In my heart, you've always been outstanding!" Gao Liang smiled and said, "Ruolan, help me with something! Look—this is a very important document. Please deliver it personally to my sister. Just don't let her know it was I who gave it to her!" "Alright!" Gao Ruolan took the document, sealed in a large envelope, and nodded. Gao Qingxue stood by quietly, not showing any signs of discouragement, gently encouraging her father: "Dad, our products may not match those of the competitors yet. But if our group can produce such products, we still have a real chance! The only issue is our funding." As she spoke, she fixed her eyes with eager excitement on a stack of documents. Gao Zhongming immediately released his hands from his face, as if grasping a lifeline, snatching the documents and staring at them wide-eyed. After a moment, he slapped his thigh with enthusiasm and exclaimed, "What a perfect IT product! Who could have designed this? He must be a genius—I'm going to hire him with a generous salary!" Gao Qingxue chuckled and said, "Dad, this product document was just delivered to me today by my classmate Gao Ruolan!" "Then go and invite her right away! I'm going to hire her with a big salary!" Gao Zhongming issued his instructions to the secretary beside him, who promptly left. Gao Zhongming reviewed the product materials once again, excitedly waving his hands and feet, exclaiming, "Our Lianchuang Group is saved! Truly, it's the heavens' grace!" Qiuzhengxiong and his wife, Xu Xianghe, turned to look. A news bulletin on the large electronic LCD screen read: "The UK PLC company has concluded its second collaboration with Lianchuang Group, officially signing an IT product agreement at the High-Tech Park in Hanshai City, with a total value of $10 billion, of which $6 billion is upfront payment—this is the largest-ever foreign trade deal in Hanshai City's history!" Qiuzhengxiong and his wife were speechless. Qiuzhengxiong's wine glass fell to the floor and shattered, yet he didn't even realize it. He stood frozen, his face expressing shock and disappointment, murmuring, "This can't be true! This can't be true! Didn't we agree that the agreement would be signed with our group's representatives at this time?" After speaking, he lowered his head and leaned against the table, too weak to lift it. As Xu Xianghe reached to comfort her husband, she heard her daughter, Qiuxin Yue, exclaim in amazement, "Wow! Is this really true?" Qiu Zhengxiang immediately looked up and, together with his wife, Xu Xianghe, observed the large electronic LCD screen. On the television, a beautiful young woman was surrounded by a crowd of reporters, while the onlookers clapped, cheered, and many presented her with flowers. A reporter from Hanzhai City Television approached the young woman, who wore a red flower on her chest, and asked: "Ms. Gao Ruolan, could you please tell the viewers at home why you have been able to develop such an outstanding product?" With a look of happiness and a warm smile, Ms. Gao replied: "This achievement is truly due to an even more exceptional person—myself merely being the one who brought his design to the public!" Her words were striking. The reporter then pursued the question of the hidden designer, but Ms. Gao smiled and remained silent. At that moment, Brook, the Executive Chairman of the British PLC company, stepped forward and addressed the reporter: "Regardless of who designed it, our company only recognizes the product, not the person!" "Indeed, a company that only recognizes the product and not the person!" "Qi Zhengxiong was inspired. He slammed the table, became enthusiastic, and said to his daughter, Qi Xinxue, 'Xinxue, you've also noticed it, haven't you? I'm thinking—perhaps we should focus more on our products!' Before Xinxue could respond, Mrs. Xu Xianghe interjected, 'Our Shendragon Group is a world-renowned multinational corporation with a large R&D team. We can fully leverage our strengths to develop an even more outstanding product!' 'Yes! Dad, Mom! I'm joining in too!' Xinxue, familiar with the company's IT products, felt she could contribute to her father's efforts as well. 'Let's work together to create even better products—let's give it our all!' The hands of the three family members overlapped, mutually encouraging. Beside them, Yu Yue clapped her hands, 'With Xinxue joining, this initiative will surely succeed!' Shendragon Group Headquarters, Main Conference Room. Mr. Niu and Lin Mingjun watched in real time the live broadcast of the agreement signing between the UK PLC company and Lianchuang Group on the large electronic display. They immediately convened a meeting with relevant personnel. Mr. Niu was furious, threw his cup to the ground, shattering it, and exclaimed, "For heaven's sake, can't I even produce something this good myself!" Nearby, Mr. Xing nodded in agreement, saying, "Mr. Niu's capabilities are truly unparalleled—he will surely succeed!" "Hahaha!" Mr. Niu laughed heartily. Lin Mingjun had no clear idea of Mr. Niu's actual capabilities in this area and said with a serious face, "We may not have the strength to offer products that surpass those of the Shenlong Group." "President Lin, don't forget Black Water Company. Have our CEO introduce it to you, and you'll see!" Mr. Xing promptly presented Mr. Niu with a cigar, lit it, and offered it to him, indicating that Mr. Niu should begin speaking. After taking a deep breath and puffing steadily, Mr. Niu addressed the attendees: "Through our strong collaboration, we have an extensive distribution network!" The underworld has strong ties with international IT companies and can hire top tech talent with substantial financial incentives. Leveraging the strengths of Huan Tian Group, it can consolidate China's leading IT professionals to launch a cutting-edge new product and effectively challenge the Lianchuang brand! Clapping! Clapping! The audience roared with applause, especially Lin Mingjun, who tightly grasped the elder Niu's hand and said, "The winner of this new product is—!" "We!" Niu beamed with laughter. "We! We!" the crowd cheered, "Huan Tian Group will surely triumph!" With Lianchuang, Shendong, and Huan Tian Group each making strong efforts, the competition to develop an even superior product is fiercely intense. He extended congratulations to the students who have achieved outstanding results, expressed gratitude to all faculty members for their dedication and efforts in nurturing the students, and specifically acknowledged the contributions of outstanding business faculty such as Song Si'an to the academic development of the college. He also hoped that the honored students would strive for even greater achievements, continuing to excel in their studies to repay their alma mater and teachers. He encouraged all students across the campus to learn from the recognized students and aim for even better academic performance. Finally, he urged all faculty members to build upon their current successes and write a new chapter in the development of the college's education.
