You all chase after the innocent school beauty, then I'll choose the rebellious female school b

The speech segment of the provincial competition is essentially a silent battle of capital.

On stage is a meticulously crafted business model, while off stage are hundreds of sharp eyes scrutinizing the rate of return.

Lu Yuan was the eleventh speaker to take the stage. His experiences from his previous life gave him enough confidence to stand here and speak eloquently.

Xu Lingjing, as his PPT assistant, worked with him seamlessly.

Lu Yuan's speech was devoid of empty slogans, featuring only solid underlying logic and clear data support.

Professor Zhang, sitting in the audience, nodded frequently and couldn't help but give a thumbs up, making no attempt to hide his admiration for his prized student.

Although the event was not broadcast live, and live broadcasting is not popular these days, all the local mainstream news media were present, which shows its scale and influence.

If Ye Yixian and the others wanted to see Lu Yuan's charisma on stage, they only needed to search for relevant news reports to get their wish.

Ultimately, "Love Notes" won third place in this year's Entrepreneurship Challenge Cup provincial competition.

The first and second place teams were too strong, so strong that it was obvious at a glance that they were aiming for the crown. Their team maturity and technical skills were impeccable. Lu Yuan lost fair and square without any complaints.

After the presentations concluded, the open discussion session officially began.

Many astute business owners and investors visited the "Love Notes" exhibition area, attempting to delve deeper into the project's future potential.

Lu Yuan was overwhelmed by the task at hand, but fortunately he had made preparations in advance.

He provided advance training to his team members on sales techniques, and everyone had a clear division of labor, explaining the product's operational logic and future plans to interested investors.

Investors reacted in different ways.

Some people felt that the business prospects of the social media sector were not clear enough, and after learning about it, they politely left.

Some people had a keen eye and immediately approved and drafted an investment contract;

Some people are still observing, leaving their business cards, indicating that they want to see the subsequent data of the project, and if the direction is correct, they can invest at any time.

Lu Yuan added all the hesitant investors to his "potential targets" list.

Their hesitation stems from their inability to fully grasp the immense traffic value hidden behind social entertainment apps.

If we put in more effort and find opportunities for in-depth communication, we will most likely be able to win them over.

The crowds at the exhibition area gradually dispersed around 2 p.m., and the investors went to have lunch one after another.

The team members finally had a chance to catch their breath.

Xu Lingjing slumped in a chair in the corner, looking tired and listless, like a small flower that had been exposed to the scorching sun.

She wore high heels today to match Lu Yuan's performance on stage, making her look mature and capable, but she also suffered a lot because of it.

After standing and explaining for several hours, her ankles ached terribly, and she could only hold onto the table and gently twist her ankles to relieve the discomfort.

Lu Yuan walked over, looked at her slightly furrowed brows, and said softly, "If you can't hold on, find a place to rest for a while. We'll be finishing up soon."

Xu Lingjing raised her head and gave him a faint smile: "It's okay, I can still manage."

"Actually, you don't need to work so hard." Lu Yuan looked at her, feeling a little emotional.

The current Xu Lingjing is giving her all in her work and studies, and is completely different from the Xu Lingjing of her previous life who only knew how to spend money and enjoy herself.

Sometimes he couldn't even tell whether it was his excessive sycophancy in his past life that led to her later downfall, or whether his neglect in this life had forced her to improve herself.

"That's tens of thousands of yuan a month, how can I not work hard?" Xu Lingjing smiled, her tone relaxed. "I never dared to imagine I could earn so much money before. You don't know, Yiqing is always so envious whenever we talk on the phone. If you can, could you take care of her a little?"

"We'll see," Lu Yuan waved his hand.

From a certain perspective, Jiang Yiqing is indeed a good friend, but Lu Yuan has many friends like her.

If everyone asks him to take care of them, wouldn't he become a free babysitter?

Xu Lingjing was silent for a moment, then asked softly, "Where's Ye Yixian? Did she go home?"

"Not yet. After I finish up here in a couple of days, I plan to take her up north for a few days. She's always wanted to play in the snow, and I haven't taken her yet." A hint of anticipation flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes as he mentioned the upcoming date.

Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashed across Xu Lingjing's eyes.

She certainly has the money to go north to see the snow now, but if she's alone, even the most beautiful scenery will be tasteless.

She knew very well that there was no place for her in Lu Yuan's heart anymore.

The more relaxed and natural the two of them were talking, the more it proved that Lu Yuan no longer had any romantic feelings for her.

Thinking of this, she gave a self-deprecating laugh: "Lu Yuan, you and Ye Yixian should stay together. I've decided... to give up."

"Huh?" Lu Yuan was taken aback, not expecting her to bring this up suddenly, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Have you met someone you like?"

Xu Lingjing shook her head, a hint of relief in her smile: "Do I have to fall in love with someone else to let you go? Can't I just give up because I'm tired and it's meaningless?"

"This... is fine too." Lu Yuan nodded; there was nothing wrong with what he said.

Moreover, this is exactly the result I wanted.

He wanted to chat a little longer, but a familiar figure walked over.

It's Yan Weiwei.

Rosso's assistant.

"Mr. Lu, congratulations!" She greeted Lu Yuan with a smile as soon as she came over.

She had been paying close attention to the popularity of the "Love Notes" exhibition area throughout, and was well aware that this project was highly favored by investors.

Today, she wore a fitted office lady outfit that perfectly accentuated her curvaceous and sexy figure.

Upon seeing this, Xu Lingjing's expression changed slightly.

In terms of looks, she believes she is no less attractive than Yan Weiwei, but the latter's striking figure certainly adds to her appeal.

If a man were to make the choice, he would most likely prefer this type with a hot body.

She hadn't expected Lu Yuan to have such a beauty by his side, but upon further reflection, she felt it made perfect sense.

"Sister Yan, I'm not even as old as you, so you don't need to keep calling me 'Mr. Lu,' just call me Lu Yuan," Lu Yuan said politely.

"Hehe, that's fine too." Yan Weiwei readily agreed.

"Why are you all alone? Where is Designer Luo?" Lu Yuan looked around but didn't see Luo Suo.

"Professor Luo didn't come, so she asked me to come and check on things." She said this with a hint of embarrassment in her voice, "Mainly to see your project."

"Why did you come all the way to see me?" Lu Yuan asked, somewhat puzzled.

Yan Weiwei shook her head: "I don't know, it was Teacher Luo's idea. I think, since you're from the same school, he's probably more interested in your achievements as his junior brother."

This reason makes sense, but it doesn't feel quite sufficient.

Lu Yuan pressed further, "Where is Designer Luo making his fortune now?"

"On Hong Kong Island. Mr. Caesar arrived, and he went to greet him personally."

"Mr. Caesar?"

This name is widely known.

Lu Yuan had always wanted to meet this important figure who could rival Mr. Thomas.

"I don't understand, what is Mr. Caesar doing here at the end of the year? Don't tell me he's a foreign citizen of Chinese descent and misses the Spring Festival back home?"

"Hey! Who knows?" Yan Weiwei smiled. She had no right to ask about the schedule of such an important person.

Lu Yuan didn't say anything more, but his curiosity about this Mr. Caesar grew stronger.
