Two weeks later, 

  Xu Nuan was sitting at the last bench in the class and was yawning tiredly since she couldn't sleep last night because she was completing her assignment. 

  She was almost lying on the desk while waiting for the class to start. 

  The Professor hadn't arrived yet and everyone was sitting in groups and were chatting and giggling. Some were even playing, only she was sitting alone at the last seat in the back. 

  What a sad life!! She really sucks at making new friends, and it's showing. 

  " I am hungry. When is this class gonna end?" She groaned. She puts her head on the desk and closes her eyes to take a quick nap. 

  If she was not getting food, then she should at least get a good nap.

  However, before she could fall asleep, she heard the sound of the chair next to her moving. 

  She could feel someone taking the seat but she didn't open her eyes. Why would she? Anyone is free to sit on a free chair as long as that person doesn't talk to her. 

  " Why are you sitting here alone, like an outcast?" She heard someone say. 

  She groaned as she recognized this familiar voice. She sits up and stares at Aurora in irritation, " It's not easy to make friends, you see. You must have witnessed that at the party the other day." 

  He chuckled upon remembering the events of the club party the other day. She was surrounded by girls but was awkwardly looking around as if she was forced to sit between them. 

  " Why were you sleeping? Are you here to take a class or to sleep? If you want to sleep then go home. Don't infect others with your tiredness." He commented nonchalantly. 

  She frowned, " Then why are you sitting next to me. Moreover, why are you even here? As far as I know, you aren't in this class."

  " I am not. But I don't have anything to do, so I came here to attend this class." Aurora replied. 

  " It's not like the teacher would kick me out. All the teachers here adore me, you see." he boasted shamelessly. 

  " Hah! They adore you because you're handsome. Your parents should be proud, not you. After all, you're the product of their genes." she showed him a tongue childishly after saying.

  He scoffed in disbelief at her childish behavior, " Well, at least you agree that I am handsome."

  She nodded seeing how brazenly he was twisting her words. Upon remembering something, she leaned closer and stared at him with her smiling eyes. 

  Seeing her sudden change in attitude, he became wary. There must be a reason that she is suddenly smiling at him. Otherwise, other than the harsh words, she cannot say anything.

  "What? Why are you staring at me like this?"

  " Have you ever considered going into showbiz? Do you know how to sing, dance, or act, for instance?" she asked while looking at him with her glistening eyes. 

  " Woah!! I don't know anything about that. And….Why do you even want to know about it?"

  " Even modeling will do. Are you interested?" she leaned forward, making him feel trapped by her aggressive interrogation. 

  He has handsome looks, a toned body, and a charismatic personality. It would be a shame for him to keep all of this to himself and let his looks go to waste.

  Since she is going to start her new entertainment company, hopefully soon, she will need to have some artists with whom she can start the company right away. 

  He pushed back her forehead with a finger and said, " Nice try! But no thanks. I am good with gaming and my studies. Although I am not sure what I am gonna do in future, showbiz is a big no-no."

  " Why? It's so much fun. I will make you a top star. You know how good I am at managing my artists. " she boasted while trying to lure him with her offers. 

  In college, others are not aware of her being the artist manager. She is famous enough for her scandal with Xingren anyway. She doesn't want to gather more attention to her. 

  In college, only he is aware of her profession, but he doesn't know whom she manages. That's why he was taking her lightly. She was sure that once he finds out about it, it will be a great shock to him.  .

  " No-thanks. I am good like this." He responded nonchalantly. 

  She frowned. How can he reject her right away? As she was about to explain to him how amazing she is as a manager, she heard some whispers from the bench in front of her seat., 

  [ What? Are you serious? How did you find out that Gu Enterprises' system got hacked? Because as long as I remember, I didn't see any news about it.] The girl asked in confusion. 

  Since Gu Enterprises is such a big company, there should be news about it, to let everyone know about the situation. 

  The boy shook his head and explained, [ My Dad heard from someone that since the situation was controlled in time and there wasn't any major damage, the news didn't get leaked to the public.]

  [ But that's now the hot topic. The hot topic is, there is some new cyber security company, who came forward to help and offered to solve the issue without any advance payment. And guess what, as he said, he did solve the issue, that too in the shortest time possible.]

  [That person was so stupid. I would have taken the advance payment. What if he couldn't have solved the issue? He would have ended up wasting all of his time otherwise.] The boy scoffed. 

  Xu Nuan, who was listening to their conversation keenly frowned seeing him calling her stupid. Hah! If she was stupid, then she wouldn't have been able to solve the problem, kiddo!.

  [ Oh!! I thought there was some catch. There is no fun if the problem got solved. ] The girls felt like there was nothing to talk about anymore. 

  [ There is. After that day, this news has been spread like a wildfire in a desert to everyone in the industry. Everyone is searching for that person but strangely, he isn't responding to everyone's work requests.]

  [ This new company has become a hot issue among businessmen's and the already established cyber security companies are giving lucrative offers to sustain their customers.] 

  [ As a new company, he should be humble and take up any work he gets. How can he be so fussy about it?] he shakes his head in disbelief. 

  Xu Nuan pursed her lips seeing the guy looking down on her decisions. She was unsure if he was complimenting her for being competent or was looking down on her decisions. 

  She scoffed and flicked her pen which hit him on the head. 

  " Oops!! Sorry. Are you okay?" She asked in a sweet voice, trying to look sorry and embarrassed at her mistake. But in reality, she was laughing out loud, feeling elated that he got hit right on his head. 

  " Ah, it's……it's okay. Here, your pen." The guy blushed to see her smiling at him and returned her pen without making any issue. 

  What's there to fight with a pretty girl? Moreover, she is the topper to Xin Lui, he should maintain peace with her. 

  While she was smirking, feeling pleased that she at least took her revenge, Aurora was staring at her in speechlessness. What exactly goes in her head? She was talking to him and suddenly flicked the pen on the boy's head. 

  How childish!

  She glanced at him and winked at him. " I know I am beautiful but don't stare at me. I will feel embarrassed if you do." She said, putting her hair strands behind her ear embarrassedly. 

  He chortled, " Well, I doubt that you will ever feel embarrassed by it. You know, I have never seen such a shameless girl like you. You never hesitate while taking up a compliment."

  " Thank you. But I already know that I am amazing," she said nonchalantly, leaving him dumbfounded. 

  _

  After she came from the trip, the business email that she created for her new company was swarmed up by the emails from the companies who wanted to work with her. 

  Although the news of Gu Corporation's system being hacked didn't leak to the public, all the companies got scared and worried about their security walls. 

  When this kind of incident starts taking place, it's like a domino effect and there is a high chance that it will occur at other companies as well. Finding out that Gu Corporation got the help from the new cyber security company and that company actually managed to fight this issue in time, they were all curious about this new company. 

  She got a lot of emails to check their security system and some were asking her to build their security system as a whole. She would have taken up these projects if she would have been free, but she already has so much on her plate and she is all alone. 

  Because of this incident, her company's name skyrocketed. They were searching for a company online that doesn't have much stuff going on. 

  They can barely find any information since she hasn't officially started the work for it. She wouldn't have started it so soon since she was still in the last planning phase, but the case of Gu Enterprises was rather special. 

  She didn't want to let Grandfather Gu down and deteriorate his health even more by letting the company down the hills. 

  However, if she wants to continue this company and make profits from it, she needs to do something about it. She cannot deal with this herself. To run this newly set up so-called company, she needs to do some recruitment and planning.
