<h4>Chapter 227</h4>


    An Nuan looked at the barrage on the live streaming tform.


    As she continued watching, she suddenly burst intoughter.


    The barrage read:


    "Ye Jinghuai is truly a master of time management."


    "Despite being entangled with so many women, he still finds time to study."


    "All the scumbags should learn from Ye Jinghuai."


    An Nuan didn''t know whether to cry orugh at theizens'' evaluation of Ye Jinghuai.


    She refocused her attention on Ye Jinghuai''s interview.


    After Ye Jinghuai finished introducing himself,


    the interviewer began asking questions one by one.


    The questions were sharp.


    The first interviewer said, "Mr. Ye, in your self-introduction, you mentioned that you are not interested in business and chose to study socialw on your own. I want to ask, did you leave the Ye''s Group because you felt you were notpetent enough and couldn''tpete with your two older brothers, or was it because you genuinely wanted to develop yourself in an aristocratic family?"


    "Ye Family is different from other prestigious families. It doesn''t involve as much scheming. Of course, words alone are not enough. Let me share a little story. When Ye''s Group acquired the XM900puter software system, it was a decision I made within a month of joining thepany. Initially, none of the directors and executives at Ye''s Group agreed. However, in the end, because of this system, Ye''s Group almost monopolized the software market. It was the project with the lowest investment and the highest return. From ancient times to the present, no one has surpassed Ye''s Group."


    Ye Jinghuai''s calm words shocked the audience.


    Gu Yan Sheng listened, his face turning green.


    Because he had also noticed the XM900 software system before. At that time, it was developed by several college students and was extremely popr in the student market. He had considered acquiring it but felt that a couple of million would be enough for something created by students. Unexpectedly, the other party asked for 10 million, so he immediately rejected it.


    He even mocked the team, saying they were ignorant.


    Later, he heard that Ye''s Group acquired it.


    Not only did they spend 10 million to buy the patent, but they also spent another 10 million to sign the entire team.


    At that time, he thought Ye''s Group had too much money and people were foolish.


    It was just a popr software system among the studentmunity and could never create a butterfly effect.


    Buying it would definitely result in losses.


    He never imagined that through subsequent development by Ye''s Group, this software would be the mainstream in North Wen Country and quickly monopolize the software market.


    He had reflected on himself before, realizing that he missed a great opportunity in his hands, and he felt some regret and guilt.


    He also felt that he had failed to see the situation clearly.


    The electronic industry was originally the domain of students. They believed that software that was user-friendly and supported their needs would surpass other applications. So once it wasunched, it would be quickly epted by users.


    Of course, he didn''t think he had made a big mistake.


    He consoled himself by saying that Ye''s Group was originally the number one aristocratic family in North Wen Country, and they naturally had the strength to upy the top spot. He rankedst, so it was only to be expected due to hisck of consideration.


    He didn''t have to worry too much!


    But now...


    Ye Jinghuai actually said it was his decision.


    In fact, based on the usual thinking of thepany, it was truly impossible to engage in such a deal.


    Gu Yan Sheng''s understanding and analysis of the market were not weak.


    He believed that most businesses would consider a deal that would result in a loss as a loss.


    And Ye Jinghuai''s foresight put him ahead.


    He didn''t lose to the Ye''s Group; he lost to Ye Jinghuai.


    The more he thought about it, the harder it was to ept.


    He kept trying to deceive himself, thinking that Ye Jinghuai was lying.


    Deep down, he knew very well that in a government official''s interview, no one dared to lie. Once discovered, they would forever be cklisted by the aristocratic families and may even face legal consequences.


    "Since I have my own talent and abilities in the business world, and there is such a great tform for me to showcase them, why not choose this easier path? Moreover, as far as I know, Mr. Ye has been neglecting his official duties for a long time. Even I, who don''t follow gossip, know about Mr. Ye''s past."


    "Indeed, I did lose my way for a period of time. I remember when I participated in the Outstanding Youth selection, I said that the reason for my current transformation is because I met a very important woman. I am willing to be better for her."


    As soon as these words were spoken, the barrage exploded.


    "Oh my, is Ye Jinghuai confessing his feelings?"


    "Previously, when Ye Jinghuai said that he became outstanding for the sake of a woman, I thought it was just an excuse he randomly came up with for the selection. At this moment, I realized it was true."


    "So here''s the question: When Ye Jinghuai was selected as an Outstanding Youth, An Nuan and Gu Yan Sheng were already discussing marriage. So... think about it, connect the dots."


    ...


    "A man should establish his family before pursuing a career." Ye Jinghuai faced all the interviewers withposure. "Establishing a familyes first, then a career. Now that I have already established my family, the most important thing is to make achievements in my career. This is the responsibility andmitment of a man and a husband."


    His words were righteous and inspiring.


    The interviewers in the room couldn''t find fault with what he said.


    The interviewer changed the topic, "Tell us about your career ns if you be a government official."


    "Alright." Ye Jinghuai nodded respectfully. "It would be my honor to pass the examination. I will cherish this opportunity and study hard to make progress. As for what ns I have for a government official, to be honest, it''s a bit vague for me at the moment. I haven''t had much direct exposure to it. Talking about it might just be empty words. The only thing I can guarantee is that I will take pride in my country''s honor and bear the disgrace. The only goal I have set for myself is to be the Minister of the Aristocratic Department."


    The Minister of the Aristocratic Department was equivalent to the highest position under the leader of the Aristocratic Family.


    Since the aristocratic families were hereditary, an outsider couldn''t hold the position of the leader.


    However, one could work their way up to bing a minister through their own efforts.


    "You certainly have great ambitions," the interviewer sitting in the middle couldn''t help but say.


    That person happened to be the Minister of the Di Family Department.


    "But as they say, a soldier who doesn''t want to be a general is not a good soldier. I hope that you can live up to your words."


    "I will do my utmost."


    Ye Jinghuai''s performance in the interview was outstanding.


    Gu Yan Sheng, who followed after Ye Jinghuai, felt immense pressure.


    He recalled thest time hepeted for the Outstanding Youth award, standing behind Ye Jinghuai, clearly unsatisfied with his performance at the time.


    But now, because of Ye Jinghuai, he felt somewhat nervous.


    He couldn''t help but feel that any achievements he could present, tangible or otherwise, were instantly reduced to rubble by Ye Jinghuai.


    The more he spoke, the less confident he became.


    And in the end, the results were naturally disappointing.


    Out of the five interviewees, he surprisingly ended up in third ce.


    From childhood to adulthood, he couldn''t even ept second ce, let alone third!
