Brother Gong suggests recruiting a wealthy and capable high school student named Su He to help with their struggling company. Xu Chengye, eager for a solution, contacts 'Little Ma' about the potential recruit. Meanwhile, Ma Huateng, the product manager, is focused on user experience, developing the distinctive 'pager' notification sound for their chat app. He receives the message about the potential new partner and instructs his team to clean up the office for the impending guest.

The little Ma you’re going to meet later, this guy is a bit of a show-off, he took an English name, called Pony, but

we all call him little Ma, so you can just call him that. Oh, there’s also a silent gourd, don’t mind him,

this guy studied law big time, he’s quite a hard nut. On the way, Da Li kept chattering in Su He’s ear about the company’s

members and everyone’s big Q nicknames.

Su He couldn’t help but chuckle a little as he listened.

So the future mighty Huasha’s first-rate student little Ma was described as a show-off?

So simple-minded.

And Da Li here rightfully became the head of sales and promotion at Penguin in the future, he really

could talk, and boast, making Penguin sound so incredible, almost like the time ICQ got acquired for

million yuan.

Alright Da Li, people like little Su here know our numbers clearly. Didn’t he just

confirm them?

"What kind of bull are you blowing?

Zhang Zhidong glared at Da Li with exasperation, and Da Li shrugged his shoulders, with a look of mischief that’s about to

break out, walking the rest of the way would only take a minute!

Zhang Zhidong pointed to a business startup park ahead, and Su He actually knew that the first office address of Penguin Company

was just in the Seg Technology Startup Park at Huaqiang North.

The park was about a kilometer from the communication building, and they often just walked there, it was only a few

minutes’ walk. Inside the startup park, one office building after another stood there, each with various company

signs, with most being for computer repair, software installation, and computer assembly being the most common.

Each storefront looked lively.

This place isn’t bad at all.

It’s not as grim as Gong Hao described!

Thinking this, Su He noticed Zhang Zhidong leading him down a small path, looking at a few solitary old buildings not far ahead, Su He stood there dazed:

"No way, don’t tell me the company is over there?

As it turned out, Su He’s hunch was absolutely correct.

Because Ma Dateng’s first job was at Runxun Company doing pager business, where he met a businessman Tao from Xiang River, who always appreciated Master little and tried to headhunt him at a high price, but eventually, little Ma chose

to start his own business. However, this businessman was loyal, and there happened to be an empty office in this tech park, so

he let him use it for free for a few months.

Now, Penguin’s company is in this north-facing old building. The old building was four stories high, and each

floor was about 30 square meters. Penguin Company was on the second floor, the third floor was a company supplying electronic materials, while the fourth

floor... had two spinning barber lights hanging outside, responsible for providing tech park residents with some car services and spa-like care. Su He looked at the tacky large ceramic vases at the door, and was a bit confused:

"The comp...

Company is right here, come on in!

It’s free, no decoration, so we used it as an office. We’ll be moving in a few months!

Da Li dragged Su He into the office.

Ma Huasa, who had just finished cleaning, noticed the surprised look on Su He’s face, rushed over, and extended his hand with utmost courtesy:

"Hello, I’m little Ma.

Su He knew the startup company in its early days was going through a hard time but never expected it to be such a clear mess!

The office ceiling even had a spinning crystal disco ball that a dance troupe would use?!

What the hell?

Su He almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Fix it, at least get rid of this ridiculous thing. Looking at the Penguin Company office now, Su Zhe felt like he had

come to a 1980s suburban area.

It’s really hopeless!

Ma Dateng noticed as he shook hands with Su He, that his eyes kept surveying the office.

It was clear from his expression that he was not satisfied with his own company, and this ’rich guest’

was way too young.

Perhaps he has money, but it definitely isn’t his own.

So, the investment is definitely out of the question unless his dad invests.

Thinking this, Master little sighed internally, although his face still held a trace of a smile, inside he was incredibly disappointed.

He felt that this investment surely had a 99% chance of falling through.

Old Xu was too unreliable, even though the company’s finances were tight, he tried to pull in anybody he met for investment. At least evaluate the opposite party’s age and strength, right?

Even though Ma Dateng was complaining inside, his expression remained warm, seeing Su He unresponsive, he called out again, oh, hello, hello, I’m Su He!

Su as in Su City, He as in congratulatory.

Call me little Su or Ahe, that’s fine.

At this time, Su He had already recovered from the shock of Qiwei Company, his gaze finally landed on Master little in front of him. That Mr. little was nothing like what Su He had imagined.

Young and confident, with a bit of a boyish charm.

The composed guest had a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, appearing quite scholarly and delicate. His smile looked polite with a touch of shyness and hesitation, it was clear he wasn’t very good at socializing.

He was vastly different from the little Ma in Su He’s imagination... yet still understandable, as after all, at this moment he was more a programmer, focused on program maintenance and development, not the future business tycoon.

But in fact, compared to Alibaba’s Mr. Ma, Master little was indeed very low-key.

Even after he became one of the top ranks all over the country, he rarely appeared in public; first, he wasn’t skilled at interpersonal relationships, and second, he preferred to stay home, not liking social events or public appearances. Before 2010, he had never once dined with the editor-in-chief of any financial media. The two most difficult entrepreneurs to interview for Huasha’s financial journalists were Mr. Ren of Huasha and him. The young Mr. little was unexpectedly like this?

Su He released the handshake, and Da Li had already come over to introduce:

"Little Ma, this

Ahe classmate is quite something, you better not underestimate him! He just helped us out big time

Yes, he told Ma Dateng about the server room issue at the communication building, and Ma Dateng was stunned

What did you say?

The server load issue... is temporarily resolved?

Ma Dateng looked incredulous, staring at Da Li. Yeah, it was all thanks to Ahe’s suggestion!

Da Li patted Su He on the shoulder:

"The guy is a computer genius! This is truly

thankful!

A look of delight instantly appeared on Ma Huasa’s face, and the long-standing gloom weighing on his heart was lifted thanks to the server issue being resolved

Even though it was only temporary, it brought immense relief to his mood.

Now, the company could finally take a breather.

Thanks, this... this really

"Haha, I don’t even know what to say!

Ahe, I... have you eaten yet? I’ll treat you to a meal later, you’ve solved such a huge problem for us!

Little Ma’s attitude underwent a complete 180-degree shift, different from the forced smile earlier, it was now heartfelt.

He was truly not very good at communication, his face full of gratitude towards Su He, but still didn’t know

how to properly thank Su He

All he could think of was having a meal.

He genuinely didn’t expect, that this young guy who looked like a high schooler in front of him would help their

company this much. You have no idea, we haven’t had a full night’s sleep in days. Thank you so much.
