Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Gu Ning went to enroll, Chu Peihan and others would go with her too. They wanted to seize the chance to visit the most famous university in their country, because they wouldn’t be able to enter it on other days.
After the new semester began, Gu Ning wouldn’t live in the dormitory, which was a condition she laid down before she agreed to study in the Capital University. Gu Ning also said that she might ask for absence very often, but she promised to not let it affect her studies. The school agreed without hesitation.
Gu Ning wasn’t only a student, she was also a businesswoman, so it was understandable that she didn’t have as much time as other ordinary students.
The school also felt proud of Gu Ning, who was a talented, excellent student and successful businesswoman. In addition, people went to university in order to be outstanding, while Gu Ning already became outstanding before going to university, so she simply went to finish her education.
In fact, there were all kinds of skilled people in different industries in famous universities.
Some college students started up a company in university. Some of them succeeded, while some failed. There were more failures than successes, because it wasn’t easy to run a profitable company.
Those who could succeed replied on their own abilities and their families’ support, because it actually required a lot of money to run a start-up.
The students would manage the company on their own to acc.u.mulate experience. They wouldn’t hire someone else to do the work for them, because it would be meaningless. Some students also had a part-time job in different large enterprises. If they could win approval from their superiors, they could directly go to work in the enterprise after graduation.
As for the students in film or theater academy, many started acting in university. Those who were pretty and had good acting skills and good luck could become actors with some fame in the entertainment industry before graduation.
However, it wasn’t easy to do. Only a few of them could gain fame, while most of them could only play unimportant roles or extras.
The compet.i.tion in the entertainment industry was quite fierce, so the entertainment industry was full of unspoken rules.
If one had great abilities with good luck, he or she could rely on his or her own abilities. However, if one had no outstanding ability and powerful support, he or she had to yield to unspoken rules for fame.
There were endless people who wanted to make full use of the unspoken rules, and those who had no powerful support could be shut out of the industry if they dared to refuse.
Anyway, it was very difficult for everyone to win a position in any industry. No matter who was able to do that, they had to have great abilities.
All in all, universities provided special treatment for special students.
The so-called special students were students with a career. The condition was that the career must have the approval of the universities. Therefore, it wasn’t easy to survive the early stages of a start-up.

Gu Ning didn’t go to the company for something important. She didn’t need to manage the company by herself, but she still needed to learn and understand the conditions of her company.
After reading files for a while, Gu Ning called Gao Yi and asked him about the situation in City C.
Gao Yi told her that everything was normal.
Gu Ning then told him and Qiao Ya to come back to the capital for the time being. There was no need for them to stay in City C now, because Gu Ning wasn’t worried that Huang Haihao would betray her. The Tang Organization was already taken over by her now, so she didn’t need to pay any more attention to Huang Haihao and his people.
Afterwards, Gu Ning called Shangguan Yang again and asked him whether he was home. She would visit him later and wanted to ask him for a solution to something.
Shangguan Yang told her that he was playing Elephant chess with other old men in a park, and would go home if she came.
Gu Ning said that she wanted to talk about something with him, and the first idea that appeared in Shangguan Yang’s mind was that she must want to talk more about cutting bones and purifying marrow with him. However, Gu Ning’s tone wasn’t serious, so he also thought that it might be something else.
Shangguan Yang didn’t stay at home reading and doing cultivation all day now. Instead, he spent most of his time wandering outside.
There was a square near the siheyuan, and many people went to relax themselves, especially old men who were practicing swords and playing Elephant chess.
Shangguan Yang felt bored a few days ago, so he left the house and wandered around to kill time. He was attracted to a group of old men who were playing Elephant chess and joined them later.
Shangguan Yang wasn’t bad at playing Elephant chess, and he had won many people, but he always lost to an old man, which made him feel quite annoyed. As a result, he came to challenge the old man every day.
Because he had a call with Gu Ning, Shangguan Yang made a wrong chess move. He wanted to move the piece back and make a new move, but the old man who was playing Elephant chess with him was displeased.
“Shangguan, you can’t do that. You already made the move.”
“Why can’t I? Gu, I can’t defeat you anyway. Why can’t you let me have an advantage?” Shangguan Yang was a little shameless.
“You…” Elder Gu didn’t know what to say when he heard that. Shangguan Yang had never defeated him before and probably felt quite upset. Thinking of that, Elder Gu softened and stopped arguing with Shangguan Yang over it.
Unfortunately, once Shangguan Yang took the advantage, he won this time, and jumped up with excitement. “Oh, I won. I finally won once.”
“Fine, even if you won, you won by acting shamelessly.” Elder Gu was annoyed and regretted letting Shangguan Yang have an advantage.
“I don’t care. I won anyway.” Shangguan Yang didn’t care about whether he had acted shamelessly at all. He felt satisfied as long as he won.
Everyone was amused by Shangguan Yang’s reaction, and Elder Gu wasn’t really mad at him. Instead, he only felt resigned.
After getting along with each other for days, they knew that Shangguan Yang wasn’t bad. Although he had a strong desire to win, he didn’t have any hatred towards other people. He was just like a kid. In addition, he wasn’t bad at Elephant chess, but was very excellent at martial arts.
Yesterday, a woman was beaten to the ground by a man in the park and the man wouldn’t stop kicking her. The second Shangguan Yang saw the scene, he rushed and knocked the man down and the man couldn’t get back to his feet anymore.
Because of that, many old people admired Shangguan Yang.
…
In the Tang Organization’s office building.
Yesterday afternoon, Tang Qingyang released the information that they would have a director’s meeting at 9 am the next day and that he had something important to inform everyone of.
Many people were curious, but they knew nothing about it because Tang Qingyang refused to tell them right now. Nevertheless, all the directors guessed that it might have something to do with Tang Bingsen.
They always held different purposes. Because Tang Bingsen was still in the hospital, some ambitious directors already had the idea to do something. Right at this moment, Tang Qingyang called a director’s meeting, which was the sign that the company might have a new leader.
Some major shareholders began to try to form a close relations.h.i.+p with Tang Qingyang after Tang Bingsen got sick, because they believed that it was highly likely for him to become the new leader.
