Chapter 229 Who Doesn’t Exist

"You guys are here?" Xie Wenyuan came over with a glass of wine and asked with a smile, "You guys know Mr. Mi too?"

Mi Xiaolin forced a smile and said, "I met him once when I went to Nanjiang for an inspection."

Xie Wenyuan nodded thoughtfully: "I'll talk to Chu Ge."

They were being chased away openly. Mi Xiaolin showed no emotion on her face, and continued to smile: "Then I won't disturb Mr. Xie from talking to the young man."

After saying this, Yingying left.

Xie Wenyuan watched her back with some disdain in his eyes, and whispered: "They want to participate in this project, but I didn't agree. Don't tell me they are your friends?"

Chu Ge smiled and said, "No. So why didn't Mr. Xie agree? Doesn't the project require investment from all parties?"

"We do need to invest, and we also need to share risks, but not all investments... We are not so desperate that we will do anything." Xie Wenyuan said leisurely: "Even when we invite celebrities, we will consider whether their image is suitable, let alone our partners?"

“So what do they look like?”

"Their venture capital companies are aggressive and cover a wide range of areas, like wolves that can never be fed. The interesting thing is that the companies they invest in eventually become theirs..." Xie Wenyuan smiled and said, "That's not the key point. The key point is that we feel that with foreign capital, we don't want to get involved too much."

Qiu Wuji asked curiously, "Didn't Mr. Xie say that we also have Japanese and Korean capital?"

"The nature is different. We are a legitimate joint venture company with cross-holdings, aboveboard business dealings, and we do not interfere with each other's operations. Theirs..." Xie Wenyuan stopped talking here and smiled, "It's hard to say specifically, but in short, theirs is quite messy, and we won't easily cooperate with them for the principle of project risk aversion."

Chugo muttered, "Then why not invite them to the cocktail party."

Xie Wenyuan heard this and laughed: "Business matters are not so clear-cut... We don't need investment, so how do we know if there are other areas for cooperation? Just like animation, we agreed to cooperate with your company's animation site, but we still invited friends from other sites to attend. Who knows, there may be more channels to expand in the future."

Chu Ge nodded. It’s not that he didn’t know many of the truths, but they were a little far away from his own world.

I'm a stinky coder...

Xie Wenyuan smiled and said, "So you two shouldn't always keep talking in private. For young people who are really interested in moving up, this meeting is a good way to get to know people. Come, let me introduce you... This is Mr. Chen. I think he has a lot in common with you young people..."

Mr. Chen shook hands and encouraged: “What you love is your life.”

Chu Ge suppressed the greeting that was about to come out of his mouth and put on a bright smile.

…………

What Xie Wenyuan saw as a cocktail party social event that would help him move up the ladder was, in fact, a torture that exhausted Chu Ge both physically and mentally.

Even though my memory has become very good now, I still have face blindness. I can't tell what the boss or the manager look like.

His face was almost numb from smiling so much that at the end, apart from "I've heard a lot about you, nice to meet you, thank you for your care", he couldn't come up with a single original line.

I have a bunch of business cards in my pocket, but I don’t have any to return, which makes me feel so embarrassed.

Fortunately, no one cares about him. He is just a small author who is lucky enough to get in touch with Xie Wenyuan. Most of them are polite, but no one really wants to get to know him. It doesn't matter whether you have a business card or not.

The one who really thrived was Old Zhu, who was doing very well there and had negotiated numerous business deals.

In fact, there weren't many rules for this kind of party. No one cared if you left early, and Xie Wenyuan didn't care either. Chu Ge pulled Qiu Wuji to eat and drink, and then left after eating.

"It's not a life in the same world at all." The couple left early and walked on the road. Chu Ge looked at the traffic on both sides and sighed: "It seems that I will never be able to enter the so-called 'upper class' in this life."

Qiu Wuji took his hand and said with a smile: "Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the southern mountains, people's expectations of the transcendence of immortals are largely based on the comparison of such environments. So the story in your mind is about immortal chivalry, not about historical hegemony."

"That's not necessarily true. These things don't affect how I write the novel. I can still write about historical hegemony. Maybe my next book will be about that."

"But this is the one you're most emotionally invested in, isn't it?"

"Well... maybe."

"This is your nature, including your rejection of Mi Xiaolin." Qiu Wuji said with a smile: "If you have different paths, you cannot make plans together... Qiu Wuji of Yunji Sect, I wish to hear the way of Father God."

"Oh, there are not so many reasons." Chu Ge grabbed her hand and shook it: "I'm not a leader, I don't need to look at the problem from a high vantage point. The impact of the revival of spiritual energy on the world is not something I should consider, okay? This is not nonsense in the group. I have a monthly salary of 3,000 and I still care about the world situation. I might as well type a few more words if I have that free time."

Qiu Wuji chuckled: "Isn't it said that every man has a share of responsibility in the fate of his country? Your attitude doesn't seem like you don't care at all."

"Whether others have special abilities or not is none of my business. It's also none of my business if they want to make money for themselves. As long as they don't harm others, I'll admire you if you have the ability to make hundreds of billions or even establish a country. So I just need to grasp the key point of whether they harm others or not. Do these people look like they won't harm others?"

Qiu Wuji smiled: "Not like that."

"Although they were blamed for Lao Zhu's suicide, why were they blamed? Wasn't it because they attacked Lao Zhu before? They took a fancy to someone else's mine, but bullied him because he refused to sell it. What kind of thing is that?" Chu Ge's expression was a little gloomy. "And she said that Du Lianfeng and Qi Chengtai were dead... I don't know if what she said is true or not. Maybe she was just trying to scare people, but that kind of attitude is not good. I'm not greedy for spiritual energy. You must be crazy to cooperate with such a person."

Qiu Wuji said: "So you are actually none of the three."

"How can there be such a clear definition? The same rice can support a hundred kinds of people. Who are they to classify people's hearts? I only care whether it will affect my Qiuqiu. What does the other things have to do with me... I am just a tycoon who earned a few thousand yuan a month a few months ago..."

As they were saying this, they suddenly heard the roar of an engine, and a convertible Ferrari stopped beside them.

The smiling face of the young man who had just chatted up at the party appeared in the car: "Hi, beautiful lady, nice to see you again. Where are you going? Do you want me to give you a ride?"

Qiu Wuji subconsciously looked at the car again. Seeing her curious look, the young man smiled smugly and glanced at Chu Ge.

Chu Ge smiled and didn't care. Outsiders could never understand Qiu Qiu's mentality when she looked at the car. She didn't even know how much the car was worth, and she wouldn't care if she knew...

As expected, Qiu Wuji quickly retracted his gaze: "This car looks well-made and nice-looking, but it's noisy, and you can't sit in the back seat, and it doesn't look like you can put anything in it."

Chu Ge laughed: "Yeah."

youth:"?"

Qiu Wuji said: "Your car only has one passenger seat, how can you take two of us?"

The young man smiled: "Of course I'll only take you."

"Oh, goodbye then." Qiu Wuji took Chu Ge's hand and walked away swayingly.

Ferrari followed and said, "The cocktail party just now was just a business banquet. There was nothing good there. Miss, are you interested in going to the best club and drinking the best Lafite?"

Qiu Wuji sneered: "Why are you so annoying? You were so decent at the party just now, but now you've turned into a scabby person?"

The young man still smiled: "This can prove my unyielding passion for you, young lady."

Chu Ge finally couldn't listen any more: "Hey, can't you see that she has a boyfriend?"

"A boyfriend who earns thousands of dollars a month..." The young man didn't even bother to look at Chu Ge: "For me, if I look at this kind of person for a second longer, I will feel disgusted that I am stained with mud. If I say one more word to him, my vision will fall by ten levels... He is no different from non-existent."

Chu Ge didn't even get angry after hearing this, instead he laughed out loud.

Qiu Wuji also laughed.

The young man stared at Qiu Wuji's smile in a daze, almost going crazy.

Really beautiful... the more I look at her, the more beautiful she becomes. How could such a beautiful woman be with a man who earns several thousand dollars a month, wearing cheap clothes and not even a single piece of jewelry?

But Chu Ge glanced at the night in the distance, his eyes seemed to have deep meaning: "Logically speaking, there are idiots everywhere, but not many who are so impatient. Maybe... someone has arranged an appetizer."

The young man was stunned, feeling extremely strange. Why did it feel like in this person's eyes, there was no difference between me and non-existence...
