From Wage Slave to Tycoon novel Chapter 256

Chapter 256: Chapter 163: An Advanced Course? Isn’t This a Social Gathering?

Su Chen waited until 9:10 AM before he heard several voices coming from outside the classroom.

"I didn’t expect to run into President Li at this workshop. After the opening ceremony ends, let’s grab a bite to eat. I’ll make the arrangements for this evening."

"Sounds good, President Chen. We’ll let you treat us today. I believe the last time we saw each other was two years ago. I can’t believe how fast time flies!"

"You can say that again. I heard your company landed some major projects this year, President Li. Don’t forget about us when the time comes!"

"Don’t worry. If any needs in that area arise, I definitely won’t forget you guys."

As they spoke, three figures walked in. They all appeared to be in their forties, sharply dressed in suits. Anyone who didn’t know better might have thought they were heading to a cocktail party.

President Li, walking at the front, noticed Su Chen sitting in the back row, and a flicker of surprise crossed his face. They hadn’t expected anyone else to be in the classroom.

The two men following him also saw Su Chen and muttered in low voices, "Is that a staff member from the university?"

"Probably. He looks so young. You have to understand, everyone attending this workshop is a successful entrepreneur worth tens or even hundreds of millions. This young man doesn’t quite fit the description!"

The three of them paid him no mind; after all, Su Chen was just too young. They quickly looked away and walked to the second row to take their seats.

They had heard some rumors about this workshop—that some major business tycoons would be attending to burnish their reputations—so they all deliberately left the front row empty.

After that, people continued to trickle in. Most were in their forties; there were hardly any in their thirties.

Everyone who entered showed a hint of surprise upon seeing Su Chen, but they quickly lost interest, assuming he was a staff member assigned by the university.

The classroom grew lively. People gathered in small groups, chatting away. Some used the opportunity to network with the many successful individuals present, turning the event into a veritable social gala.

"Have you guys heard? They’ve supposedly invited several major entrepreneurial tycoons to lecture for this workshop. I wonder if there’s any chance to make a connection with them."

"That’s what we’re all here for, plus networking with some like-minded people. Otherwise, who would spend a few hundred thousand just to sit in a lecture?"

"If I could just get on the radar of one of these tycoons, my company’s market value would at least double this year."

"Even the crumbs that fall from those tycoons’ tables would be enough for us to make a fortune."
