"Oh? What's the matter with them all gathered here at the same time?" Liang Chuanyi asked, puzzled.

"Then I'll go ask."

"Okay, go ahead."

Liang Xiang, who had been forced to take leave to come along, was feeling rather bored and casually remarked, "Maybe they're just taking this opportunity to slack off. Why are you all so curious?"

Liang Chuanyi's face instantly darkened, and he turned his head and shouted, "Liang Xiang, you're not a child anymore. Think before you speak. They are all senior assistants and secretaries. Do you think it's possible for them to gather together during work hours for no reason?"

Liang Xiang had just said it casually, but he didn't expect his father to react so strongly. "Okay, I understand."

At this moment, Assistant Gao returned. "Chairman Liang, the assistants and secretaries are all arranging dinners or meetings with the chairman and president of that company on behalf of their boss."

"All of them?" Liang Chuanyi asked in surprise.

Assistant Gao nodded.

Liang Chuanyi carefully examined the company name on the booth. "Chen's Century Trading Co., Ltd., Assistant Gao, have you found out who the chairman and president of this company are?"

"The chairman's name is Chen Ke, and the president is Fu Xin."

"Chen Kefu Xin?" Liang asked incredulously, then realized he might be overthinking it; perhaps it was just a coincidence of names.

Liang Chuanyi: "What, are you so surprised that you know him?"

Liang shook his head. "It might just be a coincidence that they have the same name, but it's definitely not one of the two people I know."

Senior student Fu Xin might start a company, but Chen Ke absolutely cannot, much less start a company with Fu Xin.

Don't think he didn't notice. Every time Fu Xin returned to school to give a speech, Chen Ke couldn't hide the jealousy in his eyes. He was probably cursing Fu Xin viciously in his heart, wondering how they could possibly work together.

Even if Chen Ke were willing, Fu Xin would never agree. Chen Ke has neither funds nor talent, so what would be the point of cooperating with him?

Liang Chuanyi glanced at Liang Xiang, and finally instructed Assistant Gao, "Go and find out what's going on."

"It's Chairman Liang."

After Assistant Gao finished inquiring, it was almost closing time, so Liang Chuanyi told him to talk about it on the way back.

In the car, Liang Xiang and Liang Chuanyi sat in the back seat, while Assistant Gao sat in the passenger seat reporting on the information he had gathered. To be honest, he still found it unbelievable.

Liang Chuanyi and Liang Xiang had similar thoughts after listening to the story.

Liang Xiang scoffed, "How could that be? Have these two gone mad?"

Liang Chuanyi: "His behavior is quite crazy, but do you understand the meaning behind it?"

Liang Xiang paused for a moment, then said, "Is he trying to increase the visibility of his online store through this?" It is indeed eye-catching, but so what? They are not the main consumers.

Whether it's an online mall or a physical store, advertising is only effective when it's targeted at real consumers.

"That's true, but what they're attracting here isn't consumers, but businesses. Think about it, if those businesses are interested in his e-commerce platform and actively seek to cooperate with him, then he won't need to buy products himself at all; he can just provide a platform and earn the commission."

Liang Chuanyi instantly saw through Chen Ke's true intentions, and Liang Xiang was completely stunned, as he had not expected this at all.

"Moreover, he prepaid a deposit for every order he placed. Do you know how many companies were in the internet exhibition hall alone? No less than 200. Do you know what that means? It means that he paid no less than 100 million yuan in deposits today alone. Such economic strength, such business acumen and foresight, that is the real reason why those CEOs took the initiative to ask him to meet."

Liang Chuanyi truly lives up to his reputation as the head of the Liang Group; he can analyze so much from just a few pieces of information. Assistant Gao admires him from the bottom of his heart, as he certainly hadn't thought of that.

Liang Xiang once again deeply felt how formidable his father was, and at the same time, the feeling of helplessness that he could never catch up with his father again surged into his heart.

"Assistant Gao, have you found out how old these two are?" Liang Chuanyi guessed that the two shouldn't be very old. Although this approach was direct and effective, it was also very radical and risky. Older people would seek stability and wouldn't be so reckless.

“That Mr. Fu seems to be 26 years old, and that chairman…” Assistant Gao paused here, “…seems to be a college student.”

"How is that possible!" Liang exclaimed excitedly.

“Why not!” Liang Chuanyi glared at Liang Xiang. “Do you think everyone else is as unambitious and wastes time as you? Liang Xiang, you should be more aware of the situation. There are always people more capable than you, and I can’t be your support forever.”

Liang Xiang lowered his eyes and remained silent. He had never regarded his father as a support; he only wanted to overcome this mountain, but it was too high, making him hesitate and not even have the courage to try.

Because he was afraid that trying it would make him realize even more clearly how far he really was from being good enough.

"Wow, the younger generation is truly formidable," Liang Chuanyi sighed. The car fell silent, but everyone was lost in thought.

······

Chen Ke led Fu Xin and the others back to the hotel, and then held a small meeting.

Fu Xin was a little excited, "Zhou Jia has received quite a few invitations, it seems our day wasn't wasted."

The two directors finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had been given a reassurance. To be honest, they were terrified by the amount of money being spent, but fortunately, the goal was achieved.

Zhou Jia opened her computer and pulled up the list of invitations she had prepared. "The first invitation is from the president of Dyson. He wants to invite the two of you to dinner tonight."
