Chapter 63

The evening social event was booked at a private Chinese restaurant, which was of high standard and had various traditional Chinese elements. In Lao K's words, it was purely for show. The current head of the investor claimed to be a cultured person, aloof and arrogant, and acted as if he didn't value the development prospects of your new talents, and he wouldn't bother to set up this bureau.

Chen Mo was a little confused at first. Logically speaking, such a person should be hard to be tempted by ordinary conditions.

The moment he saw the person, he understood.

A large private room that can seat twenty people.

The round table was filled with abalone, ginseng chicken soup, Australian lobster, and other dishes that looked very luxurious. There were already about seven or eight people sitting at the table, and all the stakeholders were present.

The person sitting on the main seat, October Sky, was holding a fan with the words "Heaven rewards hard work" written on it with a brush.

He was in his forties, bald, and holding two shiny walnuts in his hands.

As soon as Old K entered the room, he whispered in Chen Mo's ear: "God rewards hard work. He dumped his original wife and hooked up with a rich woman. With a little packaging, he became a high-level intellectual. Tsk."

Chen Mo looked over and said, "You put down the bowl and cursed? You won't beg for help tonight?"

"I get angry just talking about this." Old K spoke quickly, "If it weren't for the internal split in Huanshang Venture Capital and the resignation of the original head, he would have been the one to put on airs with us. You should be careful tonight. I just found out that his wife didn't get along with Mr. Zhu at Huanshang Venture Capital. We are bound to be embarrassed. Follow my lead."

Chen Mo didn't say anything. The Mr. Zhu mentioned by Old K was the vice president of Huanshang, and it was he who had tried his best to promote the cooperation in the beginning.

As the latest generation of technology companies, Xinrui's core concept is to give every capable young person the greatest space to develop themselves while maintaining the innovation of universities. They require investors who are rich, have few problems, and will not pretend to know and interfere.

Mr. Zhu has indeed achieved this.

Over the past two years, their cooperation has been very smooth, and they have jointly successfully launched the cutting-edge R2D project.

But just last month, Mr. Zhu was reported and transferred back to the overseas headquarters and suspended for investigation.

As soon as Chen Mo and Lao K appeared.

Everyone in the box turned their heads to look over.

A person from the largest medical device distributor that Huanshang cooperated with said, "Come on, come on, I was just talking about you guys, come and sit down."

"Brother Liu." Chen Mo nodded and greeted him, then sat down in the empty seat next to him.

Chen Mo has known the other party for quite a long time.

They didn't meet in any business setting. He was a senior from the same school who had been working in this field for many years.

Brother Liu was already bald before he was 30. Seeing Old K, who went straight to the main seat upon entering the room and toasted with the bald investor with a smile, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Old K is quite flexible. The situation of Huanshang is unclear right now. Some people also say that his wife, Lu Yi, is likely the one who reported Mr. Zhu. Many people are waiting and watching."

Chen Mo tilted his head, "Is Mr. Zhu okay?"

"I don't know." Old Liu shook his head. "I don't think it's likely that he was suspected of occupational embezzlement. The year before last, you first proposed the initial concept of R2D, and it was President Zhu who supported it."

"Yes, it's him." Chen Mo said.

Lao Liu: "It's really not easy to meet such an investor. I hope he is really okay."

Old Liu clinked the wine glass in front of Chen Mo as he spoke.

It was just a little ceremony, and Chen Mo was not allowed to drink from beginning to end.

After all, they are seniors from the same school, so Lao Liu naturally knows what kind of person his junior brother is.

Even if he is sitting here today, having a meal with a pretentious investor, once he leaves this table, with his achievements and experience at such a young age, he will be popular everywhere.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the host seat: "I want him to drink!"

Because it's loud.

Everyone present looked in the direction the bald man was pointing.

The young man was wearing a suit, but his suit was not worn as formally as the others. The buttons were unbuttoned, and the shirt inside fit his waist and abdomen as he leaned relaxedly on the stool, giving people a sense of leisure.

His expression was also very calm. After hearing that sentence, he glanced towards the main seat.

Then stand up.

Walk over.

Old K stopped him and said, "Boss Xu. This is the leader of our new technical department. His work requires him to maintain absolute high concentration all year round. He needs to review every step. He really can't do it."

"No." The man surnamed Xu waved his fan, looked Chen Mo up and down, and sneered, "I can understand that young people are a little arrogant. I have always heard that the core technology of Xinrui is the top students of Q University. Q University has the capital to be arrogant, but I hope you Xinrui will not forget that no investor's money is blown by the wind. It is true that R2D has been listed, but I heard that your second phase of the project has also started production. You really don't want the remaining 50%. At least you have to have the attitude of asking for help."

"You..." Old K almost lost his temper.

Chen Mo pulled him and stood in front.

He picked up a glass of red wine on the table and looked through the light in the box at the light and shadows refracted inside that looked like blood.

Then, with Mr. Xu smiling and waiting for him to compromise, he slowly put it down and said, "It's okay for me to drink, but we have to get the points. Who do you think you are?"

The smile on the man's face froze instantly, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, and his face turned red.

Everyone else in the box was also dumbfounded.

Old K tugged at his sleeve, signaling him not to go too far.

Chen Mo did not have any violent reaction. He was the calmest from beginning to end. He even walked to the seat of Mr. Xu and turned around to sit on the empty board of the big round table. With his hands on his side, the leg on the ground looked particularly long.

"What are you doing?!" The bald middle-aged man lost his composure and stepped back.

Chen Mo knocked on the table with his other hand. "Mr. Xu, why are you so nervous? Don't worry, I won't hit you. I'm easy to talk to. Let's just chat."

The other party looked suspicious, "What are you talking about?"

"Let's talk about whether the reason why you are blocking us right now is because of Chuanxing Technology or simply because of Huanshang's internal reasons."

Chuanxing Technology is a newly emerging technology company in the past two years.

It is also the biggest competitor of Xinrui.

It is not just because of their company structure, product research direction, and various investment competitions, which are all surprisingly similar and overlapped. This company is backed by the foreign UA Group and has strong financial resources. In the past two years, it has been competing with Xinrui. Competition is not terrible, but malicious competition is the most terrible. It just so happens that Chuanxing has been using unfair means behind the scenes for a long time.

Sure enough, as soon as Chen Mo said this, Mr. Xu's eyes flickered.

Bluffing: "I don't know what you are talking about. I am just avoiding risks. It is you, as the Party B, who have such a bad attitude. You really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is!"

"Indeed." Chen Mo nodded and stood up. "We don't know our own weight, but President Xu knows it all. As far as I know, Huanshang has no way to raise funds again, and the smart technology sector is a lifeline. Does the boss of Huanshang know that you took benefits from other companies behind his back? Or is Vice President Lu Yi willing to pay for you?"

The face of the man surnamed Xu was flushed and white, which was very exciting.

He stood up from the stool with a bang, his hand holding the fan was a little flustered and unstable, and he didn't care about the other people present, and threatened: "Aren't you afraid that your new Phase II project will be in your hands?"

"Mr. Xu, I think you haven't figured it out yet."

Chen Mo patted the shoulder of Old K, who was already looking like "Forget it, there's no hope, just do your best", and said, "This boss comes from a poor family and is a true believer in the saying that hard work pays off. For the healthy development of new cutting-edge companies, we reasonably accept investment and cooperation. We are not really poor, understand?"

I'm just short of saying it directly: I'm not really short of money and I can afford it for a while.

It's not your turn to take advantage of me.

I didn't eat much of the meal.

Coming out hungry, Chen Mo and Lao K squatted at a roadside snack stand and ordered two bowls of noodles.

"I'm ready to get drunk to death." Lao K slurped a bowl of noodles and pointed at Chen Mo, who didn't move after taking two bites. "I used to go out with Mr. Su, and when I suddenly went with you, I almost forgot that you are not someone who can be threatened."

Chen Mo glanced at him and said, "It's obvious that he has accepted the benefits. He is too stupid. We will know once we try."

"I'm not like you." Old K sighed, "You know how hard it is for Xinrui to get to where we are today. Now so many people depend on us for their livelihood. I don't dare to gamble. To be honest, if you hadn't invested all your money to save the company when you were a freshman, I would have thought you were really a rich second-generation."

Chen Mo wiped his fingers with a piece of paper. "I grew up in the countryside. It's good to be a first-generation rich man."

"I didn't say anything bad. I know you're very rich now. The two patents you obtained in your senior year must be extremely valuable, not to mention your other investments." Old K excitedly leaned on the table, his eyes sparkling. "Tell me something so I can have an idea of what's going on."

Chen Mo threw the paper over and said, "Get lost. If that Xu guy wasn't so disgusting, would I be so rude?"

"Not really." Old K said with a smile, "After all this, who can really stand this kind of bullshit? If you don't do anything, I'll have to find a way to get Huan Shang to replace him. Are you really not going to eat anything?"

Chen Mo: “No.”

Lao K: "Eat a few bites. What's wrong with you? If you lose more weight, your friend Lao Gou will probably scold me for exploiting you again."

Chen Mo: "When did he scold you?"

Old K was weak: "Last year, you led the team on a business trip, and the final physical examination showed malnutrition..."

Chen Mo: "I just didn't absorb it well, and I've taken care of myself. I've said many times that I'm not hungry. Thank you."

…

It was eight o'clock in the morning on the other side of the ocean.

Skyscrapers stand in the most visible locations in the city center.

An office on the 32nd floor is spacious and quiet. Looking out from the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can take in a panoramic view of a large area of the city.

The blonde modern girl walked to the office door in high heels and knocked twice.

A voice came from inside: "Come in."

"Here are the documents that need to be signed," the blonde said, smiling as she handed over the documents.

The man sitting behind the desk was very young. His height of 1.8 meters made him look superior everywhere. He had broad shoulders, long legs, and dark eyes. This boss, who had graduated from a prestigious university with all his degrees two years ago, had earlier used his family's power and industry as an anchor to target this financial center. In just five years, his power had risen like this building, and it was difficult to shake it.

Countless people remember the surname Xi.

And the youngest decision-maker of that family, Xi Siyan.

Secretary Jenny was promoted by his assistant Han Gan. She has fiery red lips and a hot body.

Many people speculated that this was Han Gan's way of winning people's hearts and minds, and that he was looking for a bed partner for his young boss. In fact, Jenny knew better than anyone that the reason she was able to get to the top was because she was a woman, sensible, and capable.

Because Han Gan said that Mr. Xi is a homosexual.

Although Jenny didn't think it was like that at all, she was smart and never crossed the high-voltage line.

The boss in front of him spoke authentic English and was gentlemanly and elegant. His habit of exercising all the time allowed him to clearly see the muscular outline underneath his suit when he took off the pen cap.

The voice was low: "Jenny, has Zhu Zhengtao got off the plane?"

"He's here." Jenny said, "He arrived on time at 3 a.m. last night. The investigation team set up by PY has already started investigating him."

Xi Siyan put the cap on the pen and handed the document back.

"Find a way to save him."

Jenny was stunned in a rare surprise.

The head office where Zhu Zhengtao worked had a conflict of interest with the Xi family's business. The boss asked her to pay attention, and she thought there were other instructions and plans, but it turned out to be to protect him.

Jenny asked, "Because he is also Chinese?"

"Of course not." The young boss stood up from behind his desk and buttoned up his waist. "Don't ask any more questions. Just do it."

"Okay." A good secretary won't ask too many questions.

When Jenny went out first, she happened to hear her boss on the phone.

She didn't understand Chinese, but she heard Han Gan's name.

And in her impression, this man who always kept his word, acted calmly and decisively, for the first time used such a low voice, as if he was mentioning someone subconsciously.

Han Gan: "Have you been dreaming recently?"

"Yeah." Xi Siyan looked out the window. "Although I don't want to believe it, I'm worried that Zhu Zhengtao's accident this time is a sign. Han Gan, I need to return home immediately."

Han Gan's voice was filled with helplessness.

"Ever since you were attacked and hit on the head with a stick three years ago, how come you started to believe in this dream thing about omens, and you kept dreaming that Chen Mo was gone." Han Gan felt more and more absurd as he spoke. "Three years ago, you recommended Chen Mo's company, Xinrui Technology, to Zhu Zhengtao. Zhu Zhengtao also said that Chen Mo was devoted to research and had made great achievements, and rarely went to the business world. What could have happened? I think you can't accept the fact that you two broke up a long time ago."

Xi Siyan pinched his brows and said, "Buy the plane tickets and stop talking nonsense."

"You're the boss, so of course you have the final say." Han Gan didn't try to stop him, but changed the subject, "But you two haven't been in touch much in the past few years, right?"

Another question: "My ex-boyfriend suddenly came to my house and said, 'I dreamed that you were going to die?' How is this different from those people who curse their ex-boyfriends to die after breaking up?"

Xi Siyan's tone was cold.

"Don't say that word."

Han Gan was speechless for a while: "I am almost dead, I am exhausted, can you sympathize with me?"
