Chapter 655

Isla greeted Selena meekly.

Sean smiled and greeted her as well. "Selena!"

Selena wasn't just the board secretary for Aurora Holdings. She was also the director of the secretariat. All the secretaries of the company were managed by her.

Only Carlisle and Gareth had authority over her.

Selena nodded and walked into the office. She said to Sean, "Mr. Woodsen, Mr. Zahn wants me to take Alistair to his office."

"Alistair, go with Ms. Johansen."noveldrama

"Alright, Mr. Woodsen." Alistair grabbed his backpack and resume and followed Selena to Aurora Holdings.

Carlisle was making tea.

Selena led Alistair into the office. "I've brought him, Mr. Zahn."

Carlisle pointed at the chair opposite the tea table. "Please sit down."

Selena also had a workspace in Carlisle's office, so she returned to her seat and resumed work.

Alistair walked nervously to the tea table.

He had correctly guessed that there was a company supporting Alumni Network with capital. The leader of Aurora Holdings looked about Sean's age. He must be an extremely wealthy heir from a prestigious family.

Carlisle poured Alistair a cup of tea. "Have some tea."

"Thank you, Mr. Zahn!" Alistair became nervous again. He was much more tense compared to when he had met Sean.

He guessed that the person in front of him was the true founder of Alumni Network.

Facebook had only managed to get one million registered users from its establishment in February 2004 until January 2005.

Conversely, Alumni Network had only launched less than two months ago and had already surpassed eight million registered users. They had eight times the number of users that Facebook did.

It was a business miracle.

Although Alumni Network had paid a high price, it also served to show how courageous the founder was.

"This is my resume, Mr. Zahn." Alistair handed his resume over with both hands.

Carlisle took it and glanced through it. His intense eyes sparkled slightly.

Alistair would become the founder of the largest food delivery empire.

ManyPal and Family Frame were both related to social networking services.

In the past life, Alistair would launch SchoolSpace this year after his previous endeavors failed.

However, due to the lack of funds, he ended up selling SchoolSpace cheaply to Callum Palmer for two million. After that, SociableNet was conceived. It was the ultimate social platform and had a market value of almost ten billion.

"Are you coming to Alumni Network to learn about how we operate, or do you have some other motive?" Carlisle set the resume aside and fixed an intense gaze on Alistair.

Alistair felt that Carlisle could see right through him.

Alistair's pupils constricted, and his heartbeat sped up. He said uneasily, "Mr. Zahn, I... I just want to get a stable job to pay my debts. To tell you the truth, after I tried to set up my own business twice, I'm now heavily in debt!"

He had come with an ulterior motive, but he hadn't expected Carlisle to see right through him. Carlisle looked as if he wasn't even 20 yet.

Carlisle's expression softened slightly. He smiled and said, "You're a business genius. Failing twice won't deter you, and you'll continue to try. You've come here to see if we've got any plans for the market outside of school campuses, don't you?"

"H-how did you know?" Alistair could no longer bear to sit. He stood up and stared at Carlisle with his mouth wide open.

Carlisle had read his mind.

Did he have telepathic powers?

Alistair was filled with fear and uneasiness.

At that moment, he wondered if there was a traitor among his people.

Carlisle picked up his teacup, took a sip, and smiled. "Don't be nervous. Let's sit down and have a chat."

Alistair took a deep breath and calmed himself before sitting once more.

Carlisle smiled slightly as he explained, "You're curious about how I know, aren't you? Your resume has your experiences in starting up businesses. I've also done research on ManyPal and Family Frame. Both are inextricably connected with social network services and have failed, whereas Alumni Network has become explosively popular at all the tertiary educational institutions of the country.

"If I were you, I would also look for business opportunities with Alumni Network. Its growth is unbeatable, and I'm currently leading in the field of campus social networks, so you have no choice but to look for opportunities outside of it.

"However, you're uncertain whether we've made plans for that, so you came here to check things out."

Alistair was shocked again after hearing Carlisle's analysis.

Carlisle was terrifying! He had analyzed it so logically and completely exposed Alistair.

After a long moment, Alistair said slowly, "You've analyzed it very thoroughly, Mr. Zahn. You might not know this, but I started observing Facebook three months ago. I even thought of a name for my social network and was planning to call it SchoolSpace. You just did it before I could!"
