fending vehicle. How cool was this action It would surely cause quite a stir among their group!However, looking at his family's BMW now, Xu Zhuoming's eyebrows furrowed into an 'eight' shape. He knew...The Great Rebirth Chapter 69: Su Cen's Magazine

Su Cen smiled and said, "I bought it myself." Father Tang tried to stretch his imagination. "So you mean the car was also purchased by yourself Not with money provided by your parents or family"

"Yes."

Muban exchanged a glance with Father Tang. They put down their utensils humbly on the plates, making a clattering sound. Facing Su Cen, they took up an attitude of waiting for him to explain further. This was quite shrewd; if they continued asking questions like this, it would only dig deeper and disadvantage themselves in terms of identity. So, by putting down their utensils and stopping eating, they just stared at Su Cen, expecting him to clarify everything.

At the same time, Muban felt a bit anxious inside, thinking that with her current status, she has dealt with all kinds of people—usually it's others trying to guess her thoughts while observing her demeanor. But now, she actually had to speculate about the truth behind this young man.

Su Cen then explained his experience during high school when he started a school magazine and how he suddenly realized that consumer-oriented magazines could be profitable. He partnered with his former school magazine advisor to integrate social resources and launched their first entrepreneurial magazine. He detailed how applying for a publication number was initially rejected but how he got his college student employees to genuinely persuade the cultural review department under the guise of "college student entrepreneurship," thereby obtaining the magazine's publishing number. Then step by step, in various universities across Rongcheng, they received acclaim and municipal commendation before gaining attention from the newspaper group. They then began focusing on magazines targeting university students and company white-collar workers. Eventually, one day, the provincial newspaper group invested with their publication number, launching a fashion magazine aimed at the national market, mainly focusing on economically developed regions like the Yangtze River Delta.

Having finished his continuous narrative, Su Cen picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank half of it. He moistened his throat and then waited for Muban and Father Tang to absorb what he had said.

Muban was probably the best listener. Although she was a mystery inside, during Su Cen's storytelling, she occasionally nodded in agreement. As he spoke smoothly, her frown gradually eased.

Seeing both Mother and Father Tang looking back at him awkwardly after his speech segment.

Su Cen continued, "Back then it was purely out of interest; I had a meeting with a private boss to sign a contract on Friday. But when I got there, they said he had left early and didn't know when he would return, probably in the evening. The hotpot restaurant closed at around ten-thirty PM, so once the staff started cleaning up, the owner finally drove back and signed the contract with me right away."

Su Cen smiled. "Actually, it wasn't a big deal; just three thousand yuan for an advertisement. But because of my interest in it at the time, even if I was tired, I felt quite happy doing it."

The reality diverged slightly from what Su Cen narrated; he did not sign this contract merely to close the deal but rather as a personal example to encourage his employees to work harder and set an outstanding standard. This would inspire everyone else to strive more passionately.

Occasionally, showcasing oneself is also a natural move for capitalists.

However, in the eyes of Father Tang and Muban, it was perceived differently.

Dad Tang finally sighed and said, "Today's children are becoming more understanding. Su Cen, you've done two things right: first is perseverance, second is keeping your word. These are the commercial ethics and principles that successful businessmen cannot afford to compromise on. You're willing to endure such hardships to start a business; this child of yours seems quite capable of going through trials."

"I understand, Uncle Tang," Su Cen nodded sincerely.

Hearing about Su Cen's affairs and observing him closely now, Dad Tang thought that at 19 years old, with distinct features and a clean-cut appearance, none of the boys he had previously deemed unworthy for his daughter would match up to Su Cen. Knowing that Tang Wu already had a boyfriend made him feel a particular kind of jealousy.

This was his own daughter who grew up under his care; she is as important and eye-catching as a princess, with her father towering above everyone else in her eyes and being the one with the broadest shoulders.

However, over time, his tall figure gradually wasn't as solid as her boyfriend's. The father whose shoulders were once so broad began to fade from view; she would lean on another man’s shoulder instead and start relying more on someone who could say sweet words to her.

But this was inevitable, and he had no choice but to accept it with a sense of resignation. Yet looking at Su Cen and Tang Wu together now, Dad Tang couldn’t help but feel that the young man in front of him wasn't as repulsive or slobbery as he had once imagined; rather, he seemed quite acceptable.

Each father would eventually grow old, yet this did not stop Dad Tang from daydreaming about Su Cen. He subconsciously thought back to his own entrepreneurial journey without external support, having endured hardships to amass wealth and enter larger market competition. In Su Cen, he saw a bit of himself in the past.

Such a promising young man could be nurtured; who would still dare claim that I, Tang Zongyuan, can't find an excellent son-in-law

Tang Wu glanced at Su Cen with a hint of education implied by her father’s words. Seeing Su Cen's smiling gaze, she returned a light smile. Dad Tang could speak so warmly to Su Cen because their relationship had grown closer; this was a good sign.

"You're just a young child, still in high school back then, yet you thought about all of this. Is it your idea or did your teacher behind the scenes suggest it" Mo Ban first thought about the former high school teacher who worked with Su Cen; she knew that this person was far from ordinary and felt that everything seemed too hard to accept or doubted whether Su Cen could independently support a company.

"Mr. Lin is one of the founders, but I am the sole legal entity shareholder director of the company. However, I can assure you that intellectual property rights are in my hands," Su Cen said with a touch of humor.

"Teacher Liangguang was once an advisor for our school magazine at No. 27 Middle School, and we really liked his supervision over the school magazine." Tang Wu spoke up.

Mo Ban glanced at Tang Wu; her permed hair casually draped across her chest as if she were a sister to Tang Wu, yet her gaze was noticeably sharp as she pointedly said, "I know about that school magazine. Don't you remember bringing it back and placing it on the coffee table."

Tang Wu blushed slightly without saying anything more; she had collected Su Cen's items under the coffee table to let her parents see them, but sometimes felt deflated when her mother Mo Ban hardly touched those things at all. She walked in wearing high heels and out again in them, indifferent towards everything, like a queen.

It seems that there is indeed a gap between reality and her expectations. However, they still care about something.

Su Cen looked at the mother-daughter duo in bewilderment, his face saying, "Is this related to me"

However, Su Cen conveniently took out a magazine from his carry-on bag, adhering to the principle that without evidence there is no truth. He then neatly placed the first issue of the fashion magazine on the table. The cover featured a classic Swiss quartz watch set at 5:15. Each hour had geometric degrees and lines branching off, marking various stages in life—childhood represented by paper airplanes, adolescence by textbooks, youth by various job insignia, followed by different periods marked with houses, cars, children, and so on.

This was the cover of the first issue, exploring themes related to the value pursuit of life. It also heralded the magazine's entry into the market through the imagery of the clock on the cover.

Mu Wei looked at the magazine on the table and said, "From being a teacher to becoming a media person, that’s quite a big leap. A child who started managing a magazine from high school now wants to do bigger things. If you want to achieve more, shouldn’t money be spent wisely Buying a luxury car seems rather meaningless."

Su Cen could only reveal the company's secret strategy to Mu Ji, "Actually, this car is just for hype and publicity purposes. It’s meant to attract attention for our magazine. The magazine will release this information through several channels later."

"Hype" Mu Ji frowned slightly. "I don’t oppose college students starting businesses at school as long as it doesn’t affect their normal studies and life. Auntie is just giving you some suggestions, but ultimately the decision is yours to make if you believe it’s right. The key is to know when to stop."

Su Cen could sense something from Mu Ji's words.

From Mu Bian’s practical perspective, she naturally didn’t take Su Cen’s hype seriously; she likely believed that he was just being a typical young man trying to show off and get attention in school. The use of the term "hype," which is still relatively unfamiliar at this stage, might be nothing more than an indirect excuse.

But Mu Bian had no grounds to criticize him. In fact, it’s not unusual for young people to have a bit of arrogance and enthusiasm. And she did acknowledge that this boy was indeed the one who once said to her, "One day you’ll remember my name."

"I recall an adult man came over on the day we had dinner and talked about some bet with you. What’s that all about" Tang Father wanted to say "uncle," but changed his wording at the last minute since it felt odd for a man around his age to call Su Cen "Mr. Su."

Su Cen briefly introduced the background of the person, who was the general agent for Seecam cameras, and explained how the bet had come about due to securing their advertisement.

Tang Father nodded and patted Su Cen on the shoulder. "Su Cen, no matter what happens, do your best. Uncle Tang believes in you."

"Thank you, Uncle Tang."

The truth finally came to light, and Mu Bai, who was usually astute, seemed to need time to digest what Su Cen had said today. Both she and Tang Fu's father had a positive evaluation of the bet Su Cen made.

After eating, Tang Wu would go with her parents to visit their elders in Shanghai. Recently, due to classes, Tang Wu hadn't accompanied them; now that it was the weekend, they planned to drop by again. After all, the elders' affection for Tang Wu surpassed everyone else's.

At the entrance, Su Cen watched as Tang Wu left with her family before returning alone to school.

Tang Fu's father drove and only now spoke about what he had been holding back earlier. "What do you think of this project that Su Cen is currently working on"

Tang Wu perked up at once.

"I didn't want to say it before because I was not optimistic," Mu Bai shook her head. "Even if he can create hype, the businessmen are known for sticking together and protecting each other. How could they admit their failure to Su Cen It's most likely that Su Cen won't gain any benefits from this. And how many people have fallen here"

Tang Fu's father nodded and smiled, "At least I can give him some support. For our group’s next real estate ad campaign, I think we could consider putting it in their magazine."

"We'll talk about this later. I don't deny that Su Cen is talented in this area. But to survive in the ruthless business world, relying solely on talent is far from enough."

Mu Bai shook her head.

Seeing Mu Bai's expression, Tang Fu's father agreed deeply and continued driving. After passing a crossroad with lush greenery on either side and gradually rising terrain, they entered a quiet area. Changing the topic, he said, "Zhan Hua is going to hold an auction."

"Oh" This piqued Mu Bai’s interest. "Zhan Hua, known in Shanghai's capital circles as 'Southern Zhan,' Northern Liu,' has made another move. Each of his moves makes the financial magazines' headlines.

What is he going to do this time Hold a charity auction to avoid being criticized for stripping the land bare"

Mu Bai then looked down at the fashion magazine Su Cen had handed her and smiled. "A magazine cannot rely solely on hype; it needs core content as well."
