Fifteen minutes later, Ye Yun arrived at the entrance of the restaurant.
"Let's go upstairs to talk."
Teacher Wang was already waiting downstairs. Seeing Ye Yun arrive, he said with a smile.
Ye Yun had initially considered suggesting a better venue, but seeing Teacher Wang's anxious expression, he assumed there was something urgent.
He then followed the elder upstairs.
Upon entering the private room and settling down, Teacher Wang began.
"You mentioned before that you planned to recruit at Jinling University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and hoped I could help you secure a booth, right?" Teacher Wang asked.
"That's right. The company has just been established and needs to recruit a large number of talents, including management trainees who also need to be nurtured," Ye Yun nodded.
"There's been a rumor circulating at the university today that someone doesn't want Yao Ke Group to recruit there. Is this your company?"
Teacher Wang looked at Ye Yun.
Ye Yun was stunned.
"Someone doesn't want me to recruit?"
A full half-minute passed before Ye Yun finally came to his senses.
"I was just having dinner with some old colleagues, and the rumor is indeed circulating!" Teacher Wang said.
Impossible!
How long had his Yao Ke Group been established?
Very few people knew about it!
And yet, someone wanted to prevent his company from recruiting at the university.
Were they trying to cut him off at the source and block the campus recruitment channel?
Ye Yun's expression darkened.
Yao Ke Group had good products and high initial investment.
However, no matter what, the operation of an enterprise required a large accumulation of talent.
A clever cook cannot prepare a meal without ingredients.
If there were no one to implement and operate, what was the point of running a business?
Campus recruitment and management trainee programs were the best and most qualified options.
Preventing Yao Ke Group from campus recruitment was a ruthless tactic.
Who would resort to such a severe measure?
"Ye Yun, tell me honestly, have you offended anyone at the university? I can see if I can help mediate." Teacher Wang asked again.
Teacher Wang was originally a graduate student supervisor at Jinling University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and was later transferred to Jinling Vocational College as vice president.
He still had some connections at Jinling University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
"I don't think it has anything to do with anyone at the university!"
As far as Ye Yun could tell, he hadn't contacted anyone from the university in years, and they wouldn't know about Yao Ke Group.
Therefore, there was only one possibility: it was someone outside the university with considerable influence!
"Someone outside the university?" Teacher Wang was taken aback.
"Yes! Very likely! Yao Ke Group has only been established for less than half a month, and very few people know about it! Teacher Wang, the company's name has already reached you. It's clearly a setup." Ye Yun said, "Teacher Wang, if you truly want to help me, please provide me with the contact information of the person arranging the booths at the university. I'll contact him myself."
At this point, the only option was for Ye Yun to investigate personally.
He hadn't considered asking Teacher Wang to probe.
Teacher Wang had already done enough. If the person in question was still at Jinling University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ye Yun wouldn't hesitate to seek his help.
However, since he had been transferred to Jinling Vocational College, there was no need to involve Teacher Wang any further.
More importantly, Ye Yun had a rough idea of who was making trouble behind the scenes.
He didn't want Teacher Wang to get caught up in this dispute.
"Sigh, you've grown up, child. You're different from before and have your own ideas." Teacher Wang sighed, not directly answering Ye Yun's question, but instead asking, "Can you tell me what's happened to you in the past two years? Why have you changed so much?"
"Nothing much has happened!" Ye Yun gave a bitter smile and then slowly explained.
"A few years ago, due to the double failure of my experiments and my ventures, I was self-indulgent and lived in my own little world, almost reaching the brink of losing my wife and family."
"But later, I woke up. I made a few small investments, earned some money, and met some friends. So, I decided to start a business again with my wife."
"Then what about those people last night? The descendants of Elder Wang, the second-generation rich in the business world, how did you get involved with them? They seemed to show you quite a bit of respect." Teacher Wang continued curiously.
"It's quite coincidental. I happened to help those people with a few things under fortunate circumstances, so they are grateful to me," Ye Yun explained.
"So that's how it is!" Teacher Wang nodded.
This explained why those people were so friendly to Ye Yun.
Teacher Wang smiled.
"I thought you had become such a big shot so quickly that even those people had to defer to you! If that were the case, I wouldn't have known that Jinling had produced another formidable figure."
"What? Don't you want me to become a big shot in Jinling, Teacher Wang?" Ye Yun teased with a smile.
"You little rascal, you're trying to twist my words to tease me, aren't you? How could I not want you to achieve great things? If you succeed, I'll also be honored. I just don't want you to move too fast. No matter what field you're in, you need to be grounded. You were too sharp back then, child, and easily made enemies. If you suddenly achieved great success, it might not be a good thing." Teacher Wang scolded with a laugh.
Ye Yun's heart warmed at his words.
Teacher Wang's analysis of him was very accurate.
Too much sharpness can lead to breaking; he was like this in his past life, falling into despair with even the slightest setback.
It was Li Mengyao's sacrifice, with her blood and their child's, that reignited Ye Yun's fighting spirit.
But the price was so immense that he hadn't recovered for decades.
Ye Yun would rather not have that vast business empire than to have a happy family with his wife and daughter.
"Alright, I know what you're thinking, child. I'm old, I've met and seen many people and experienced many things. I can see through your little thoughts. Don't worry, no matter how much influence people outside the university have, they can't control school matters! What I promised you before, about getting you a booth for campus recruitment, I will definitely get you one. If I can't even help with this small matter, then my life has been lived in vain!" Teacher Wang said with a smile.
"Teacher Wang, I..."
"Don't 'I' this or 'I' that! Let's not talk about past events. As long as you've mended your ways, I'm very pleased. From the reactions of those people, I also know that you are now successful, and perhaps I'll be able to help you less and less in the future. However, regarding campus recruitment, as I said, getting you a booth is no problem for me!"
"Honestly, Ye Yun. Ever since you started your postgraduate studies, I've genuinely liked you, kid. But back then, in my eyes, you were just a child, full of flaws, but with sound values, kind, and intelligent. That's just like me back in the day! In my life, I've taught so many students, but my affection for you is absolutely unique! In my eyes, you are like half a son to me."
"You, child, were an orphan from a young age. I know all of this. Originally, I hoped you would live a stable life, become a teacher at a university, and live a peaceful life. But I didn't expect you to embark on the path of entrepreneurship."
"However, since you've chosen this path, I will do my best to support you!"
