"As the school festival approaches, posters from all departments of Canggu University are everywhere. The festive atmosphere hits you face-on as soon as you enter the campus of Nan University.

On my way to the library, I saw students holding milk and eggs heading towards the teaching building for an egg throwing event. Or along the pathways connecting the administrative building, various banners promoting club activities and lectures were隨處可見。種類繁多，甚至還有校方邀請到的專業部門——女仆部門以及出版部門的一些活動宣傳。靠近行政樓旁的空地上，各個大樹之間扯起了繩子，繩上掛著各式各樣的照片，校園攝影展常常可以看到一群人站在那邊觀摩。雖然簡陋，但也人氣十足。偶爾能看到一些活躍的美女，往往駐足觀賞過後，再輕盈離去，留下讓無數牲口流連忘返的身影。

After meeting with Li Luo, Tao Cui, and others on that day, and leaving the lively school atmosphere behind, Su Can's life at Nan University fell into a period of tranquility.

Naturally, such peace was something Su Can had been longing for. Besides attending classes according to his schedule (either four sessions in the morning and three in the afternoon or two each), he would occasionally make some forward-thinking remarks that sparked heated debates among professors and lecturers across both Nan University and Beijing University campuses. He would find suitable times to pick up Tang Wu from school, have dinner together, then sometimes stroll along the campus paths at dusk to digest their full bellies. Otherwise, he might spend time in the library as it began to darken outside, flipping through a book by her side, or catch a movie in Nan University's small cinema when the campus lights turned on.

Cheng Cico from Tang Wu's dormitory started intentionally or unintentionally showing off that she planned to travel to Maldives or Phuket with Ren Weiming during the May Day holiday. Were all these women surprised, wondering if Cheng Chuchu was really planning to be together with Ren Weiming

She just smiled and said it was still in the考察期，家裡人都在監督他們繼續交往。那就繼續看吧。相比之下，其他人就冇有她這麼悠閒了，有人要回江蘇老家，童彤則聯絡好了去彆人家做家教的事，程簧簧還摸了一把她的胸部，嬉笑著說，你這魔鬼身材簡直禍害下一代青少年啊。

As for the sixth dormitory room that served as a public youth activity space, life there was similarly peaceful. However, they occasionally felt the impact of high-level politics. In addition to Su Can, who was rejected by Nan University's top clubs despite his advanced status, and Jiao Zhang's son Jiao Xiaqiao, a young man from Nan University who is known as an academic genius, their respective fathers—Zhang's father and Qian's father—recently started another round of competition. Besides vying for influence in their own departments and competing over academic achievements, they also fought fiercely over the limited number of study abroad spots for second-year students.

Both families hoped to send their children abroad to gain international experience. Although the cost was generally around 100,000 yuan per year—a sum that seemed distant to most ordinary families—it wasn't a problem for Jiao Xiaqiao's family. The only issue might be how to stand out among those with legitimate qualifications and one slot controlled by Qian Zhongmou.

So during this May Day holiday, it seems Jiao Xiaqiao will start fighting alongside his father in various banquets to court the favor of key leaders.

Although he couldn't accompany Li Han, Xiao Xu, and the others as they toured Shanghai, visited the Oriental Pearl Tower, or took a ferry ride, he still managed to point out some interesting places for them. For example, there was an international music festival at Wuming New Century Plaza where one could enter with just ten yuan admission fee, or if they had more money, they could participate in some self-guided tour projects organized by Yangpu Campus City.

However, Li Han was rather mysterious and secretive. After hinting around, he suddenly told Xiao Xu that the kid Su has set his sights on a 'class beauty' from their class. He's considering whether to make his move during the May Day holiday. This news immediately sparked excitement in Class 602. Everyone knew that Su Zhan was strong and sturdy, not only being the sports committee member of their class but also a national second-level athlete who dominated all gold medals in the school's track and field events. Logically speaking, he should be at an age where he's full of vigor and vitality; however, upon hearing this news, everyone seemed to lose interest instantly.

Finally, after pooling ideas collectively, they decided to help him plan a first love that would bloom within the school campus, in memory of countless people who had gone through their own unfulfilled youth as newbies. When Dorm Head Wang Dongyi heard this, he immediately went to investigate and was told, "That girl is named Chen Jia. She's also a freshman like them—fifteen years old. She seems quite reserved and has a good reputation in her class! Moreover, it seems she doesn't have a boyfriend yet, which makes this the perfect timing."

This made Su Zhan subconsciously recall his experience of confessing to Lin Luoran at Shanghai International Studies University, hoping that Li Han wouldn’t suffer such misfortune.

After planning everything centered around Class 602 and their male dorm mates, they managed to arrange a meeting for Chen Jia through the relationship with her roommate. Outside the library, there was no excessive fussing or overly dramatic plot twists; everything unfolded as it should have been calm.

Li Han followed the entire plan and rehearsed beforehand, even having professional scriptwriting from students in the Cultural Heritage Department. However, when it came down to their actual interaction, it turned out quite simple. Li Han introduced himself and said, "I'm Li Han. Nice to meet you. I'd like to be friends with you."

Chen Jia smiled and replied, "Nice to meet you too. I've heard about your reputation in Class 602." Then the two of them started walking through bamboo groves, out of sight from others.

Xiao Xu wanted to follow and take a look but was held back by Wang Dongyi who said, “Let’s not be nosy. We’ll leave it up to Li Han now.”

That evening when they returned, Li Han bought beer, peanuts, snacks, and filled two tables that had been brought upstairs with these items. This usually frugal Jiangxi boy spent lavishly today, likely spending more than a hundred yuan—about one-fourth of his monthly living expenses.

The story between Li Han and Chen Jia didn't have overly dramatic plots like in soap operas.

Toasting to celebrate Li Han entering a wonderful period after Su Can, they clinked glasses in thanks. As the surrounding people continuously asked about it, he recounted the entire process and even talked about his future plans with Chen Jia. He said that although he couldn’t provide her much now, once he graduated from university, he would strive to work hard and aim for a car, a house, and a worry-free life, emphasizing their joint efforts.

A simple pledge in college is said to have moved Chen Jia to tears. Those listening to Li Han were also stirred, raising their thumbs in approval. "Simplicity is profound; such straightforward words are more effective with girls than any rhetoric. They speak volumes."

Time waits for no one, but Su Can relished using this time to live his life.

His rebirth allowed him to experience middle school once again and then enter this formative university period. It’s often said that during high school, the future is unclear due to the college entrance exam.

Little did people know that after entering university, with increasing employment pressure each year, it similarly causes one to feel lost about their future.

But Su Can still marched forward resolutely alongside those around him.

The only worry he had now was whether his father in Chengdu could handle the various factions within the Chengdu Aviation Group that were causing trouble after being exposed for their ugly weaknesses.

After a brief confrontation, it seemed that the highly watched aviation group restructuring event in Chengdu had entered its most intense phase. Su Riche’s Great East Construction knew this was the most critical moment; today’s board meeting would undoubtedly bring results.

In the towering building of the Chuan Nan Aviation Group in Chengdu, the atmosphere felt as oppressive as rolling clouds over the city. Below the group’s building were parked numerous vehicles—some official media cars and others from financial and industry sectors. On this vast parking lot, gray skies rolled overhead.

Now, every faction on the city level, provincial level, and within the aviation group was closely watching this turbulent restructuring process with a storm brewing.

Due to issues involving the leadership of the original Chuannan Airlines Group and financial losses at their finance company, Tian Nan Airlines Group in Rongcheng demanded a board resolution for the CSRC's intervention to investigate various investment losses within the group and requested the removal of certain individuals from their positions. This move triggered resistance from some of the management of the original Chuannan Airlines Group, as it implicated high-ranking officials with deep backgrounds, possibly involving political ramifications.

However, Su Licheng was resolute in his iron-fisted approach; he would uncover everything and ensure that these bad debts wouldn't be carried over to the restructured company to continue causing problems.

In fact, this move provided Su Licheng with a perfect excuse and opportunity to further weaken the power of some factions within the original aviation group.

Without reforming the bureaucratic system flaws and ineffective internal controls, high-level risk-taking behaviors and criminal activities would go unchecked. This could mean that the same problems that plagued the old aviation company still existed in the new entity.

While some fully supported this action, others vehemently opposed it, claiming that such actions only damage reputation and invite ridicule from outsiders. However, Su Licheng believed that a thorough overhaul was exactly what they needed to gain shareholder confidence and increase post-reorganization group attention and recognition.

The board meeting of Chuannan Airlines knew this would be their last public showdown.

Currently, the Chuannan Airlines Group Board has fifteen seats, with five independent directors, a lineup that looks imposing from an external perspective. The other ten seats are occupied by Tian Nan Airlines (three), Nan Fei Group (two), and Shanghai Airlines and Shanxi Airlines each having one seat. Of these, five seats belong to the original Chuannan Airlines Group: the president, two vice presidents, one executive director, and representatives of the finance department and finance company.

Although Peng Lixin appeared solemn, there was an underlying sense of calm in his demeanor. After being publicly challenged by Su Licheng earlier about accounting for himself, he had indeed been frightened deeply and recalled that something bad happened to him in Shanghai, possibly related to Su Licheng's son.

But after this period of stalemate, Peng Lixin clearly realized that the power of a major shareholder like Great Construction Engineering was limited. At least Nan Fei Group wasn't supportive of it and didn’t hinder its progress. As such, his position as a large shareholder wasn't as powerful as he had initially thought. Hence, he relaxed somewhat, privately encouraging some middle-level staff to fan the flames while appearing nonchalant on the surface — crossing his legs and watching others struggle.ven though they hadn’t met up recently, she kept in touch with him through online chats, messages, and calls. Tang Wu also knew that Su Cun had been invited to many gatherings but turned them all down...
