The first time Feng Jialan met Huo Jing was at the university's freshman welcome ceremony.
At that time, Huo Jing had just turned 17 and was chosen as the freshman representative for their year. As a senior student representative, Feng Jialan was scheduled to give a speech alongside Huo Jing.
Backstage, students were coming and going, and a group of girls gathered to gossip. Feng Jialan happened to overhear bits of their conversation, learning that Huo Jing was the eldest son of the Huo family. At just 17, he had already entered the upper ranks of the company. Even before enrolling, Huo Jing had become a well-known figure at the university.
However, Feng Jialan felt that someone as prominent as Huo Jing would have little connection with him, so he didn’t dwell on their meeting.
After the speech ended, Feng Jialan hurriedly left the university as he had an important job interview later in the day.
Despite graduating from a prestigious university, in the highly competitive city of Jin, his education alone wasn’t enough to guarantee success.
For stability, the first company he applied to was a small entertainment company that had just been established the previous year.
