"What kind of trash is this!" Karry threw the newspaper on his desk angrily. He was reading the article about his heated press conference and all articles that he read were focusing more on his attitude rather than the company's issues. The article reads like this:

Little CEO Wants Digital, Demands Respect

The Fun Kingdom Corporation's new CEO, Wang Junkai, announced in his press conference yesterday that he wants to expand the company into digital world. "We live in an internet era now, and I could not even my company on Weibo, and this had to change," the teenage boy said. He also shared his agenda on how he wants the company to make digital games for phones, saying that toys and games are things that kids like.

The highlight of the conference, however, was on his angry outburst on being called Xiaokai as his father called him. He went so far that he demanded everyone to call him President. It was a rather arrogant attitude that should not be expected from a leader regardless of the age, however as Wang Junkai being very young, some people might just view him throwing tantrum such as this occasion as a common thing during adolescence. Nevertheless it remains to be seen whether the decision to appoint this highly emotional teenager will do good or bad for the company.

What angered Karry the most, however, was the fact that some media really went as far as going to his former school, Chongqing No. 8 High School, to find more information about him. One news article had an exclusive interview with the headmaster under a very provocative title:

Troublemaker Little President?

In an exclusive interview with Chongqing No. 8's Headmaster, it was revealed that the new TF Kingdom CEO, Wang Junkai, where he had pursued his studies, dropped out from school due to his troublemaking history. "It is true that Mr. Wang Junkai was formerly our student," the headmaster said in a statement. "He was a bright student with excellent academic records. Despite this, he had a tendency to be involved in a lot of troubles, most notably fights with other students. I did have a conversation with his father about Junkai, and apparently his father decided that probably dropping him from school was the best option for him."

The headmaster also expressed his surprise at the appointment of Wang Junkai as a the successor of TF Kingdom. "It was something I totally would not expect," the headmaster said. "Although I have no doubts that Junkai has the ability to run the business, and also his father will be personally involved to mentor him in his duties. I do hope that with this new responsibility he would grow to be more mature and successful. I wish him all the best."

Karry now realized why the reporter was asking where his school was. He vowed to himself to keep his mouth shut from now on when he faced the media, or he might as well as ban the media from entering his office entirely. His anger rose again when he saw he was addressed as 'Little President' or 'Little CEO', he felt that the reporters were toying with his demand to be called President.

Also he was totally surprised when he opened his Weibo. Apparently he had become famous overnight, with 'wangjunkai' become the trending topic on the social network. There were a few posts that said he was handsome and adorable, and some girls openly said that they had a crush on him. However the majority of the posts were harsh comments slamming his attitude and personality. He closed his phone in disgust, holding back a sudden urge to punch something.
