Chapter 510: Chapter 510: Take Control of Your Own Life_1

Shen Dong turned around and saw Kang Yue gazing at him, unable to suppress a laugh. This girl was just the same as before, always so shy. Confronted with such a scene, she simply didn’t know what to do.

He walked over and gently touched her head. "It’s okay, you look especially beautiful today. Don’t have any doubts, this is your stage. Just walk in confidently; I’ll always be right behind you."

After saying this, he got out of the car, opened the door for Kang Yue, and took her hand to help her out.

"I am a bit nervous. Is it really okay for me to go in like this? Everyone’s used to seeing those elegant ladies with their hair curled in big waves, trailing down their backs. Will it be okay for me to enter like this? You’ve got to be clear with me. I don’t want to go in just for everyone to dislike how plain I look."

After saying this, she didn’t seem to trust in herself, looking in the mirror at her hairstyle again and again. Though she couldn’t find any fault with it, she didn’t know why she felt so intimidated inside, feeling certain she would be scorned by others once inside.

As she was lost in these thoughts, she was already being led by the hand into the interior. There was a security guard at the door welcoming guests, who was so stunned by the beauty accompanying Shen Dong that he was at a loss for words.

"Hello, this is our invitation," Shen Dong handed the invitation to the gatekeeper who, still in stupor, kept staring at Kang Yue as if she were some ethereal fairy, scaring Kang Yue a fair bit.

She instinctively shrank back, as her confidence had taken such a hit today. Under normal circumstances, she would stand tall, exuding confidence and not caring how much someone stared at her.

She might even boast proudly: "Mr. Shen, I’ve told you how attractive I am. If you don’t treat me well, there’ll be plenty of others competing for my attention."

But now, she didn’t have the assurance to utter those words, afraid of being scrutinized, she obediently stayed put, not moving an inch. Shen Dong also noticed the woman behind him had become so timid, feeling somewhat helpless. It was only a new hairstyle, what’s the big deal?

Indeed, people’s thoughts in moments like these are different from their usual self. For them, a change like this seems monumental, whereas for others it’s just an interesting new look appearing before them. Even if some people feel the hairstyle isn’t pretty, with time, many will soon realize its beauty.

They will start to emulate it, and that’s how a new trend begins. Kang Yue is the first standard bearer of this trend. You see, sometimes we mustn’t underestimate any small changes; a slight change in you can herald monumental shifts for the future, just like now.

"Don’t be nervous. Ask that guy if he doesn’t think you look amazing. Being anxious won’t help. Follow me," Shen Dong said, and they moved on to enter. The gatekeeper, still dazed, said nothing, only coming back to his senses later to attend to the following guests.

Once inside, they saw the place had been impressively remodeled. Could you tell? Mr. Ma had really spared no expense for this event—it was, after all, to host many guests.

Indeed, it was time to thank those who supported the rise of Penguin, the company’s success owed much to these individuals’ help. Shen Dong found his place and sat down, searching the crowd for someone, feeling puzzled—hadn’t they arrived yet?

Mr. Ma, who was overseeing everything, had arrived early. When he saw Shen Dong down below, he approached him with joy.

"Ah, you’ve finally arrived. You have no idea how much your proposal helped me. I never expected such an excellent plan could come out of your mind. In the beginning, I had a notion, but I couldn’t figure out the details. Your plan was a huge hint. I’m truly grateful.

If it wasn’t for you, that project would have stalled. Now it has safely launched with over a hundred million downloads—a tremendous feat. Do you know, in this era, how many people don’t even own computers or smartphones, and yet Penguin managed to register so many users?

Our company’s profits are substantial, and you’ve played a part in that."

Mr. Ma said enthusiastically, extending his hand for a handshake with Shen Dong, seeing him as an invaluable partner, grateful for such a beneficial young man, wondering how much longer the wait would have been without him. He felt due thanks were in order.

"Oh, come on. It’s a win-win cooperation. Without you, Mr. Ma, even with my plans, I couldn’t have implemented them. It’s better when we join forces, don’t you agree?

No matter what, development must continue. I already have a few new plans in my mind, and we’ll need you, Mr. Ma, to lead the charge, though it might take a bit longer.

Once Penguin is stable, I’ll submit the new proposals to you, and then we’re likely to reap another big profit. When the time comes, I hope we can continue our partnership. How does that sound, Mr. Ma?"

Shen Dong made his proposal with an amiable smile, strengthening the bond between them. Mr. Ma was thrilled to have found such a fitting collaborator. It felt like a serendipitous rarity, and it reminded him of why Shen Dong wanted to organize such a grand party and invite the wealthiest real estate developer.

"Dear, come and keep Miss Kang company for a bit. Mr. Shen and I have some business to discuss," Mr. Ma said, calling his wife over to Kang Yue and then leading Shen Dong to a corner to plan their next move.

Shen Dong knew all too well that Mr. Ma would not easily let go of him, this valuable money tree.

No doubt the man would quickly create value for him, like the very people he was now with—an indispensable network for success.

Once they reached a quiet corner, Mr. Ma spoke about his plans: "Mr. Shen, don’t say I never helped you. That person there, the real estate developer of that land, it’s up to you to seize the opportunity."
