The two school officials were delighted when they heard the amount of Ren Hong's donation. 8 million USD was a large sum of money worth more than 52 million RMB. Tsinghua University, as a renowned institution of higher learning in China, was backed by the government. However, all departments within the university needed funding for scientific research, so the sum of money was perfect for them.

Ren Hong was aware of how important sharing was. By donating a considerable amount of wealth to the school, he was able to do things much smoother such as recruitment and the school would certainly be more attentive. Most importantly, Ren Hong was currently lacking in everything except money! So, why not? A problem that could be solved with money wasn't a problem.

During this period, many people came looking for Ren Hong. That included the major media reporters, and of course, eager investment institutions, such as Sequoia Capital, IDG Capital, and the renowned Softbank Capital.

What made these people scramble in a hurry was that Ren Hong had no intention of showing up. On the other hand, the investment institutions were anxious to deal with him, so they could only just keep looking until they found him. Not only that, but they would also be waving stacks of dollars at him!

Ren Hong and XlouS became a hot topic on the internet recently. At the same time, Facebook throwing 12 billion USD at XlouS and its founder made them even more legendary. Likewise, Ren Hong became an instant hit in the tech world, and some of the country's internet bigwigs were startled to learn of the sudden emergence of such a person. Many were enthusiastic about Facebook's boldness and XlouS. 12 billion, and in USD, no less! Besides, it was a net profit without the need to pay taxes. These people ran around for company meetings all day long, but what was their quarter's net profit? Most glamorous companies didn't even earn 2 billion USD.

No matter how clamorous the outside world was, at that moment Ren Hong didn't pay attention to it. Right now, his only goal was to build the company's headquarters as soon as possible and he could start developing the new product, which would definitely be an epoch-making one. He had countless ideas in his head that needed to be urgently implemented.

In an instant, more than half a month had passed.

During that period, Gao Yue proved her ability to execute, and in just a little over 10 days, XlouS finally became somewhat like a large company.

Gao Yue had been running around non-stop for the past few days. But she was enjoying it a lot as she hired dozens of managers herself, building up the leadership structure of the company's major departments. The exception was the Chief Technology Officer (CTO), which Ren Hong personally served as in the past, and all the other departmental executives were decided by the CEO.

She no longer needed to handle every low-level matter by herself. The company's leadership gradually built up and the recruitment of grass-roots employees also became much quicker.

In 19 days, the company structure was finally completed and the major departments were basically perfected. So far, the number of staff in XlouS reached the size of 300, which was already the size of a typical large and medium-sized internet company.

A few days later, Ren Hong returned to the company's office. He received a call from Gao Yue in the morning, informing him that the company was officially on track. And as the founder of XlouS, Gao Yue felt like it was necessary for Ren Hong to give a speech to all the new members of the company.

In this regard, Ren Hong agreed with her. As the founder of this new company, he had an irreplaceable role. The founder was the source of a company's core force.

As always, Ren Hong wore a black short-sleeved T-shirt and a pair of gray jeans. When Gao Yue learned the news of Ren Hong's arrival, she immediately put down the work in hand and went to meet him. Although they were familiar with each other, she still had to maintain the most basic etiquette.

The company's employees were curious about the CEO who stood at the entrance of the elevator. As the CEO of XlouS, Gao Yue was apparently waiting to welcome someone important. The curious employees speculated about who the visitor would be because this was the first time Gao Yue personally welcomed someone.

Gao Yue looked at the numbers on the elevator entrance getting closer and closer.

"Chairman!" After the elevator door opened, Ren Hong sauntered out with a calm and relaxed expression. Gao Yue revealed a passionate smile and presented herself very formally.

Ren Hong nodded and said with a smile. "It's been hard for you, Sister Gao!"

"It's my responsibility and honor to be the CEO of XlouS." Gao Yue smiled in response, while adding, "The chairman's office has been renovated. Do you want to check it out now?"

Ren Hong nodded in agreement. Gao Yue accompanied him all the way toward the chairman's office. Ren Hong scanned the entire company along the way. It was apparent that this scene attracted the attention of every employee within the company. Some of them smiled politely as they met his gaze and continued working.

It wasn't until after Ren Hong and Gao Yue entered the chairman's office that some of the employees finally couldn't help but whisper.

"That is our boss! So young! So handsome!" A female employee in her 20s whispered to her colleagues around her.

"The internet is now full of news about our boss. My friends are filling my news feed with articles about him. Many of them have already become his fans."

"Oh my goodness. The news mentions that the boss is younger than 20 years old and yet, he's already worth billions and in USD no less! The world's youngest multi-billionaire! I hear the boss is currently single…"

"You b*tch! Are you in heat? There are so many beauties in the company, do you think it will ever come to your turn?! As for me, I still stand a little bit of chance! Handsome, rich, and young… I'm flustered!"

"No whispering during work. The boss just came to inspect; do you want to lose your job?" The disgruntled supervisor snapped at the two whispering female employees. The two embarrassed female employees stuck out their tongues for a second, before shutting their mouths.

Ren Hong scanned the chairman's office and was basically satisfied. Sooner or later the company would need to move, so as long as the place was decent, he didn't have too much demand.

Ren Hong rightfully sat on the chairman's seat. He didn't feel any discomfort. He gazed at Gao Yue and the assistant beside her, saying with a smile: "Along the way I observed the employees. They are basically a group of young and energetic people, and the ratio of male and female employees accounted for was 50-50. It's easy to work around with an equal number of men and women. I'm impressed, Sister Gao. You're indeed meticulous. This is how I imagined the employees of XlouS to be. I'm very satisfied!"

Upon receiving Ren Hong's affirmation, Gao Yue was naturally delighted. She smiled in response. "When recruiting employees, we strictly followed your three requirements, except for some such as the PR department, 70% of the company's employees are no more than 30 years old."

Ren Hong nodded, "So what are the company's next arrangements?"

As soon as the assistant beside Gao Yue heard his question, she immediately handed the folder of documents in her arms over to Gao Yue, "Currently, the company is operating normally. Its website has also been officially launched to the public yesterday. The next important thing is to announce XlouS's office address to the public. According to the schedule, three days later, the company will hold a press conference to announce the news of our company's headquarters location to the public."
