I Found A Planet

The more successful a man was in his career, the more likely it was for him to have a daughter than a son. Of course, this saying could not be applied to all men with successful careers. But, within the internet business circle, many of the big shots did have daughters rather than sons. Xiao Mage only had one daughter. Moreover, she had inherited the excellent genes of her father. Her looks were on point and she had a noble air about her. She was definitely a beautiful woman. Her age was similar to Chen Jin's, and she had no lack of admirers.

Two years ago, the "nation's husband" had pursued her. But she could not deal with his looks, which she felt were not up to par. In addition, Xiao Mage, with his low-key personality, disliked the high-profile and flamboyant personality of the "nation's husband," hence, he personally refuted the rumors and the incident ended inconclusively.

But even an emperor's daughter had to get married someday. After reviewing many people, Chen Jin, with his tall and handsome looks and a successful career, finally caught his daughter's eyes. Hence, she developed some interest in him. Xiao Mage was very pleased too. Chen Jin was much better than the "nation's husband." Especially in terms of his looks. He was similar to Xiao Mage, as both of them were the faces of the internet business world; both were very handsome.

So…

Chen Jin felt overwhelmed by the favor of Xiao Mage. He wanted to reject his suggestion but he was worried that it would upset Xiao Mage. He could only say, "This… President Ma… Currently, I'm fully focused on my career and have no plans to form a family."

"That's ok, you can get to know each other first. You can only know if you're compatible or not after understanding each other better."

"Ok, we can get to know each other." Chen Jin took out his phone. He exchanged contacts with Xiao Mage and added him as a friend on WeChat.

No matter how much father and daughter favored him, this marriage would never happen. It had a probability of zero. Chen Jin shook his head and thought about how Haierfa needed to be populated. Just one person who was in love with him was insufficient. But would Xiao Mage allow him two? He would probably beat him up and kill him. Xiao Mage may be nicknamed as a "normal family man" but his background was not normal at all.

I'll just use my same old tricks. The mommy's boy and the womanizer are the two types of men most hated by women. Miss Ma… I can handle her.

…

The second day of the conference in Wuzhen began. As per the invitation by the organizer, Chen Jin would be giving a speech on the topic of the "learning machine" in the 8,000 person auditorium tonight. The auditorium was part of the second phase of the newly built International Exhibition Center. The speech would be the most anticipated and attention-grabbing segment of this conference. The VIPs in the internet business, celebrities in the science and tech circles, experts, and academics were very focused on this segment. They were curious about what the President of Xing Hai Technologies, Chen Jin, would say. Tonight, he would become the focus of this grand meeting.

The speech was about to begin. Chen Jin was doing his preparations backstage and heard Brother Lei say, "Brother Chen, don't get nervous. Just do as you usually do. This speech is very important. It is also a turning point that will decide the authority that your words have in this industry. And have you noticed? You are favored by all the bigshots. No matter if they are from Teng Xun or Ali, they're all trying to rope you into their circles by showing you their goodwill. Baidu has established a cooperative relationship with you in many areas. Even BAT is trying to form a good relationship with you. Why are you so favored by all of them? I carefully considered this and realized that both of the products created by your company share a unique point. They are totally new products that are not in competition with any other company. Or should I say that they can't compete with you at all?"

Brother Lei shrugged. "Anyway, you did not hurt any of their profits… Of course, my Da Mi cleaning robot has been totally eliminated from the market, but I've also become friends with you despite the age gap. You are taking the road that nobody wants to take and profiting from sources that others have never imagined. How can anyone not like this kind of young person? But most importantly, your company is in possession of technological abilities with unfathomable depths. I remember something that you said to me. You said that if Xing Hai Technologies were to go into mobile phones too, my Da Mi Company would collapse within three years. At first, I didn't believe you. But after the launch of the learning machine, I believe you. Yesterday, Baidu's President Li showed disinterest in the domestic autonomous operating system that you wanted to do. He has no confidence in you or your project, but I do. After this conference has ended, I intend to invest 10 billion in your project. I want a taste of your success too. I wonder if you would you agree to this?"

Hearing this, Chen Jin looked at him in surprise. "Brother Lei, you have so much confidence in me?"

"That's right!" Brother Lei nodded with an inner light flickering in his eyes. "It's because you have the ability to change the world. Whether it's the Wa-wah robot or the Little Star learning machine, both have changed the world. I believe that you will continue to change the world. Your achievements will far surpass BAT's and you will become the VIP of the VIPs. So, try your best for this speech. You don't need to be too humble. Brag more and make more grandiose statements. Let go and let everyone know how all-around awesome you are. You are a VIP of a whole new level; you are the future star that will shine the brightest in the sky from the highest reaches. Free your brilliance and let it glow tonight."

Brother Lei looked at him with gratification and excitement. As for the so-called "One only knows his calling after 50," he was already past 50 and had achieved some praise-worthy results by making some changes in society. As a top student in school, his road in life was very smooth. Everything he did was a success. However, because of the lack of trials and tribulations in his experiences, his achievements could only stop there. He saw a much brighter future than he had experienced in Chen Jin. Thus, he really looked forward to what this young man could achieve.

Chen nodded with a smile. "Don't worry, Brother Lei. I've been prepared for a while." His imposing demeanor suddenly changed. He understood Brother Lei's words. He wanted him to be more relaxed and show the image of a VIP who was in his own league. He should brag as much as he liked without being terrified, and never have stage fright at all costs. The question was: would he be scared? There was a time to be low-key and a time to be flamboyant. He knew what to do.

…

The voice of the host could be heard. "Let's welcome Mr. Chen Jin, who will share with us his wonderful experiences."

Clap clap clap!

Applause rang out.

A tall and handsome young man walked out briskly from the backstage. Proceeding to the podium, he faced the 8,000 people that filled the auditorium. Within this audience were the VIPs of the science and tech world, government officials, and academic experts. All of them were elites. And he was the focus of their stares.

Chen Jin smiled and gripped the microphone on the podium. He did not place a script in front of him, but instead, he immediately started speaking. "Ladies and gentlemen, good evening… The topic of this speech is 'Intelligent Education.' But friends who know me would also know that I'm not a child that most parents want for themselves. When I was in school, I was a troublemaker that caused many headaches for my teachers. Besides a long list of failing grades, I really don't have much to share on the topic of education. I might even be a bad influence on your children."

Laughter rang out in the audience.

"So, I want to change the topic. I don't want to talk about education. Instead, I want to focus our attention to the top of our heads. I want to talk about the big crisis that this generation of young people, or perhaps, the next generation of young people, will soon face. This crisis will affect the looks of every single young adult, their spouse, and even the judgment and choices that they will make in their careers. This will, in turn, impact the future of many industries. Through this crisis, some may emerge stronger, but I believe that nobody wants to go through that. That's right." Chen Jin pointed to his own head and said, "What I'm referring to is the problem of balding experienced by many young adults from the 90s and the millennials. Therefore, the topic of my speech is 'How to resolve the balding crisis.'"
