And even just over a month ago, they had only exchanged a couple of sentences of pointless nonsense, nothing more.

Originally, Li Shu understood that, like his other classmates, he was supposed to search for his own path amid confusion—a path he might like but one that would ultimately be ordinary.

But at this moment, things seemed different.

Because of the particular nature of his father's occupation, it was as if he had glimpsed an entirely different world.

"Establishing Pingyun Company is mainly thanks to Breeder Su, and I am sort of working for him..."

"Ladies and gentlemen, please don't listen to Miss Dong's flattering words. Setting other things aside, your presence here today isn't on my account..."

"..."

Li Shu looked at Su Ping, who stood on the stage, and then at the polite laughter that quickly followed from the audience as Su Ping interacted with the person next to him. Li Shu's expression turned somewhat dazed.

This continued until Li Senlin, who was beside him, spoke to the nearby photographer:

"Be ready, it's time for the media reporters to ask their questions."

Li Senlin, holding a cue card, said to someone nearby.

The questions from these media were actually quite similar.

What does Pingyun Company produce?

How effective is the product?

What is the company's production capacity and how do they envision their future prospects?

The media, after all, does this sort of work and earns this kind of money.

If you invested money to start a farm breeding pig-like beasts, they could still ask you questions like, "What kind of Evolutionary Bodies are you cultivating to make the meat tastier and juicier?"

Essentially, it's just a channel for publicity.

However, just then, Li Shu suddenly said:

"Dad, can I go up and do the interview with you?"

Li Senlin looked skeptically at his eldest son.

The boy had just sent a message and had stood there in a daze ever since, lost in thought.

However, Li Senlin also knew what his son was thinking.

He pursed his lips slightly and then, with a grit of his teeth, said:

"Fine, but you should know, what sort of occasion is this? If you want to reminisce with that person up there, pick a good time to do it!"

Li Shu, of course, knew that his dad was putting his career on the line to help fulfill his son's wish. If anything went wrong—for instance, if he went up and asked about Dong Muyun and the recent Dong Mutian incident—getting kicked out would be a light consequence, and even his father's position as editor-in-chief wouldn't save him.

"The ribbon-cutting ceremony is completed, members of the press are now welcome to come up for interviews."

Immediately, the local Jianghai media who had been waiting on the side advanced to the front, proceeding in order.

"Miss Dong, what made you choose to invest personally and cooperate with Breeder Su to establish Pingyun Company?"

Dong Muyun smiled slightly and took the microphone,

"Of course, it's because of our absolute confidence in our company's product. It is a trans-era product named 'Heart of the Wolf'..."

As Dong Muyun introduced the product, a series of gasps emanated from the audience.

This time, it wasn't an act; it was genuine.

If the effect of the Heart of the Wolf was really as strong as claimed, then indeed its future was boundlessly bright.

And hearing that the Legions, various Breeder bases, and even the Association had already placed orders, everyone looked at each other in astonishment.

Then, it was time for the next question:

"Miss Dong, if the Heart of the Wolf is so magical, then what is its price?"

"She chuckled. 'This is indeed a question on everyone's mind. Before launching, we conducted thorough market research...'"

One question followed another, as the reporters who had prepared in advance took turns on stage. Finally, it was Li Senlin's turn.

"Miss Dong, Pingyun Company has only launched this one product so far. What will the positioning of Pingyun Company be in the future..."

"This..."

Su Ping had actually not been paying attention to the interview at all, still idly chatting with Liu Fuhai on the side.

However, hearing this voice, he turned his head in surprise and immediately saw Li Senlin, who, although asking Dong Muyun a question, couldn't help but shoot glances at him.

He had only met Li Senlin once.

Therefore, it took him a while to finally remember who this person was.

Meeting his surprised gaze, Li Senlin smiled at everyone and stepped down from the stage.

What surprised Su Ping next was that Li Shu really did come up.

Even Dong Muyun was slightly stunned, as if she hadn't expected such a young journalist, and the host beside her reacted similarly.

Li Shu, however, paid no attention to these surprised looks, his fingers turning somewhat white from gripping the microphone,

"I would like to ask Breeder Su..."

Alas, before he could finish, the host promptly interrupted,

"I'm sorry, Mr. Journalist, Breeder Su does not accept interviews. If you have any questions, you can ask me or Manager Dong."

But Su Ping smiled and, looking at Li Shu, waved his hand,

"It's okay, let him speak."

Dong Muyun gave him a surprised look. Li Shu smiled, took a deep breath, and asked a question that was actually quite commonplace, yet it brought a sigh of relief to many in the audience,

"Breeder Su, you are so young but have achieved so much. Do you have any experience or words you would like to share with your peers or former classmates?"

Su Ping, however, was slightly taken aback. He had even prepared for this guy to come up with some unreliable antics or questions.

He hadn't expected this. Just when he thought the young man was going to be unpredictable, he suddenly became perfectly sensible?

Perhaps this, too, was a kind of unpredictability?

The microphone was passed to him. Su Ping became a bit more serious this time. After thinking for a moment, he said,

"I don't think I'm qualified to answer this question because, in my view, I am just lucky, not in a position high enough to lecture so-called peers.

"However, if we're talking about experience, I do have some trivial insights, which is nothing other than to work hard.

"If you want to become a certain kind of person, just strive in that direction. Of course, I'm not trying to offer some empty motivational speech, nor am I saying you absolutely have to become outstanding in fields like Beast Tamers or Breeders. Rather, it's about looking within and asking yourself what kind of person you want to be, or simply what it is you truly want to do.

"If you want to do something, go do it, because no day in the future will be more suitable than today. We will not be any younger than we are today."

The midday autumn sunlight, filtering through the patchy yellowing leaves, shone on his cheeks.

Su Ping's smile was faint.

Li Shu appeared thoughtful.

The audience below applauded, some sincerely, some just for show.

Only Liu Fuhai clicked his tongue in admiration: "Like wanting to buy the aroma of sweet osmanthus..."

However, Old Liu's exclamation was cut short; he scratched his head, unable to recall the rest of the verse, and could only helplessly shake his head again.

Yet, from the corner of his eye, he saw Dong Muyun nearby. She was cupping her chin, her previous composure entirely gone, her beautiful eyes shining brightly as she stared intently at Su Ping.

Liu Fuhai's brow, which had been furrowed, smoothed out.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that the worries Qin Erlong had previously shared with him were not entirely unfounded.
