When Lin Wan peeked at Shen Xubai at the family banquet for the umpteenth time, she had no idea that the rumored cold-faced CEO would have three newspaper clippings about her hidden in the drawer of the study room - from the photo of her winning an essay award in her freshman year to the short financial review published during her internship last year, spanning five years.
