eed some fresh air." Su Cen glanced around the room; staying in here for too long made the air circulation poor. Combined with drinking alcohol, it was making his head feel slightly stuffy. After bein...Chapter Thirty-Seven: Rise

Su Cen also ate at Tang Nu's family when he came to study in Wei Hai. However, this time was different from the previous one as there was a sense of inspection involved. It was Su Cen's first time entering the core circle of Tang Wu's family, and for someone like him who wasn't treating life like a game, he naturally treated the situation with neither arrogance nor humility but rather great seriousness.

This meeting with Tang Wu's grandparents did not have the tense atmosphere of their previous encounter, but instead was much more cordial. This also broadened Su Cen's horizons; when Mu Laotai (Grandma) was introduced as the Executive Vice President of the Central Party School, Su Cen nearly choked on his water.

This also made Su Cen genuinely admire the educational background and values of the Mu family. When Mu Qin was rising to high positions in politics, Tang Wu's parents were still struggling hard in a small place, climbing from the bottom up without relying on the power of the Mu family. This is why it's not surprising that Tang Wu's mother is independent and assertive; this personality and educational style has also been passed down to Tang Wu.

Su Cen doesn't know if Tang Xiaowu's family trajectory was like this in his previous life, but since he reincarnated until now, Mu Laotai's identity alone carries significant weight.

Just sitting here are already a couple of high-ranking officials. They come and go, and then there's the constant phone calls to Lü Changshu from Shanghai Administrative College every seven minutes or so, all subtly inquiring about Mu Qin’s schedule. Lü Changshu has been deflecting these inquiries. But beneath the surface, countless people within the system are maneuvering and intertwining.

Su Cen felt grateful; with Tang Wu's grandparents sitting here, even though they haven't made any clear moves to support his career, their presence alone is enough to protect him in a circle of influence.

This can be seen from the expressions of people like Liu Zhensheng. These power elites are willing to take risks but cherish their reputations; after today, it's inevitable that they will reassess Su Cen and think twice before taking any action against him with his connections.

From now on, Liu Zhensheng and the people around him may have to ponder whether they'll be afraid when FaceBook Chinese grows into a behemoth.

Mu Qin came to Shanghai for research under the guise of being the head of a research group from the Central Party School. The team includes several vice-presidents and consists of about ten individuals. At year-end, the party will convene with comprehensive goals set for building a moderately prosperous society in China's entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO). In response to these new situations and requirements, the central government has begun emphasizing theoretical literacy, professional skills, knowledge levels, and leadership abilities for cadre梯隊麵對未來新形勢的理論素養、業務本領、知識水平和領導能力等方麵進行進修培養。

中央內部已經有了相應的戰略雛形，每年計劃培養一定數量的省部級、地廳級和縣處級領導乾部，並爭取在五年或更長的時間內普遍培訓全國範圍內的縣處級以上官員。在這種大規模的戰略培訓背景下，增設三大培訓基地的聲音已經傳出。

Mu Qin came to Shanghai for research as the head of a survey team from the Central Party School. This team, including several vice-presidents, consists of about ten people in total. At the end of the year, the party will convene with comprehensive goals set for building a moderately prosperous society in light of China's entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO). In response to these new situations and requirements, the central government has begun emphasizing theoretical literacy, professional skills, knowledge levels, and leadership abilities for cadre梯隊 members. The focus is on preparing them for future challenges.

There is already a strategic framework within the central government to annually train a certain number of provincial-ministerial, prefecture-departmental, and county-level officials over five or more years, aiming to widely train all officials above the county level. In this context of large-scale training, there are calls for establishing three major training bases.

The three major training bases are tentatively set to be in Pudong, Shanghai; Yan'an, Shaanxi; and Jinggangshan, Jiangxi.

Mu Qin's research team from the Central Party School came for the purpose of determining the future construction plans for this trip's Pudong Cadre College.

Of course, for Su Cen, who was also a minor figure in his previous life, even if he could understand Mu Qin and Secretary-General Fan's work discussions at the table, it would still be news that he had never heard before.

If Mu Qin suddenly turned around to ask him something now, he would likely be speechless. Of course, this was merely a thought; the people in front of him were major figures who controlled vast systems within the system. How could they possibly turn their heads and test a first-year student like him regarding matters at hand Not only does Su Cen not reach the level of importance for them to pay attention to, but others are also unlikely to be like Wang Bo who likes to discuss and exchange ideas with him.

In the glass interior of the Holiday Inn, below was the scene of his own job fair. Listening to these major figures' conversations and thinking about how things related to the Central Committee could become part of a news broadcast on large TVs hanging at an angle in university canteens, Su Cen felt a sense of superiority. He had reached this point through years of efforts since rebirth, where he can no longer look up at it with his head tilted back.

At this moment, countless first-year students were enjoying their fresh college life, while those nearing graduation in their fourth year would strive for opportunities like the people below at the job fair to seek a new beginning.

Su Cen's career was riding on the crest of a wave with great momentum; however, it wasn't as perfect as in a fairy tale. There were still flashes of lightning and thunder along this path, indicating fierce competition ahead.

As Su Cen’s several industries, especially Facebook, developed and rose, he also ushered in an era where numerous competitors coexisted.

In this wave of the times, countless people rapidly rose to prominence. Reality was often more dramatic than fiction; only by being part of this boiling age could one feel the astounding growth of those around them who were endowed with talent and conditions. Enterprises and giants known in later generations led armies to rise.

These individuals might become his powerful enemies, leading their forces to erode his territory, potentially engaging him in mortal combat at the Double Safety Expo in the future; but they could also be allies, working together to carve out strategic territories.

Alternatively, these people might not intersect with each other but already have advanced ahead of Su Cen through their own talent and efforts.

The reborn individual is powerful, but they are also small and limited as human beings. He always needs to recruit more capable individuals who can fight battles well and walk the golden path together, expanding territories along the way. Therefore, this step in his hands

marks the rise of Facebook Chinese. It has been destined that it cannot be changed!

Su Cen is brimming with the fearless spirit of a reborn individual as he indulges in flights of fancy within his heart, while reality sees this teahouse still overshadowed by Qian Mu's two towering figures.

This imposing presence not only intimidates several high-profile individuals who have made it into the city's mainstream political and business circles but also intimidates Su Xiaocan and Tang Xiaowu.

The two of them look righteous and expressionless, drinking water when they are thirsty, and occasionally listening to what the big shots say, seemingly focused but actually distracted.

Upon noticing Su Cen's gaze fixed on her, Tang Wu blushes slightly without meeting his eyes. Her long, bright eyes narrow gently as she lifts a cup of green tea to her lips, taking a sip. However, Su Cen immediately feels Tang Wu pulling his hand, then separating it like an electric shock, leaving only the sensation of her slender and cool fingers, along with her deliberately averted gaze.

This little action stirs some subtle excitement in Su Cen's heart. Looking at Tang Wu's serene face as rosy as peach blossoms, while she indulges in a minor prank beneath the table due to her nature, Su Cen feels that establishing Facebook Chinese this July is indeed refreshing. The first batch of personnel includes experienced and technically skilled managers and technicians from some Fortune 500 multinational corporations, as well as talents with specialties in science, engineering, or liberal arts recruited through campus hiring.

The number of hires for the first batch stands at fifty people; this isn't because Su Cen doesn't want to start big. After all, even Facebook in America is continuously recruiting employees to serve its behemoth entity; there are over three hundred employees at their headquarters in Palo Alto alone. However, currently, only he and Qiao Shuxin run the show domestically, with Lin Guangdong able to provide some management training or temporary manpower input. A team scale of fifty people just about qualifies as a team.

For Su Cen and Qiao Shuxin, Facebook Chinese is currently severely lacking in personnel. They need to nurture these individuals into the founding core team of Facebook Chinese so that they can build on this foundation for further development. Of course, enhancing the cohesion of this team is paramount.

"I couldn't resist this time and gave your phone number to Gong Yaohui from the municipal government's news office. Don’t blame me; there’s nothing I could do about it. The last time he invited me out, I didn’t mention anything about you. He was surprisingly patient and didn’t insist on contacting you. This time, however, I fear that his patience has run thin, so he called me himself to ask for your number. Since the person is now making a direct request, there’s no way around it. Just give him a perfunctory response," Lin Guangdong said over the phone to Su Cen.

Gong Yaohui was the department head of the news office who had previously asked people to issue IOUs when asking for special favors regarding Su Cen's connections. Generally, individuals in his position usually have some clout and backing, which is fairly common.

Gong Yaohui is certainly no ordinary person, but he didn't punish the relative who came to the recruitment fair under his name last time and failed to get a job. Now that Gong Yaohui has proactively asked for Su Cen's phone number, Su Cen couldn't help but smile. He reckoned that even if Gong Yaohui had some tricks up his sleeve, he must have emerged from seclusion by now.

Lin Guangdong's line was busy, and then Su Cen's mobile phone rang.

"Hello, are you Mr. Su Cen I'm Gong Yaohui from the Feng Government News Office, haha. It's nothing, it’s nothing."

"Last time during your recruitment fair, my distant relative caused some trouble for your work. I’ve dealt with him already. Has President Su held a grudge about this"

"That's great, that's great. The last time we went out together with Brother Lin, you weren't there. When you have the time, let’s get together and catch up Alright then, it’s settled."

After Gong Yaohui ended the call, he felt frustrated. He thought to himself that as head of the government news office in charge of online news, he would actually have to kowtow on the phone to a complete stranger. But he heard that this Facebook Chinese CEO has strong backing and that his meager influence is like an ant compared to others; if they were to act against him, it could be easily crushed.

Gong Yaohui was seething with anger as he slammed down the receiver, muttering under his breath, "I'm just a punk!"hey can only talk bravely but not act."“And that bespectacled Xiao Xu is too pretentious and despicable. Where was he during the peak of the fight After everyone else stopped fighting, he starts jumpi...
