The two exchanged a glance, both with smiles on their faces.
In fact, they both knew very well that this was no coincidence; the two had arranged to meet at the dinner party long ago.
This was also a surprise that Zhou Chen gave to Li Xiaolong.
Zhou Chen could easily see through Li Xiaolong's little scheme. The reason he agreed with Li Xiaolong's views, seemingly falling into Li Xiaolong's trap, was simply because he also wanted to reform the gaming industry.
"President Zhou."
"President Zhou."
Feng Tao and Chen Wei greeted Zhou Chen with smiles. Zhou Chen nodded, said "thank you for your hard work," and said nothing more, everything was understood without words.
The two of them came with Qi Tianlei at Zhou Chen's request, because there were some things that required them to coordinate with Qi Tianlei.
Besides Zhou Chen's two employees, several game company owners, including Qi Tianlei, also came with him. These were among the top ten companies in the game industry.
The business owners greeted Zhou Chen with smiles, showing great enthusiasm and politeness.
After all, they were among the few who knew the truth about how Penguin and Hope Networks jointly launched that initiative.
A few minutes ago, Zhou Chen was surrounded by a desolate and lonely scene. However, after Qi Tianlei and the others appeared, Zhou Chen was immediately surrounded by them, and things became lively around him. This change left the company bosses who were surrounding Li Xiaolong with mixed feelings.
Many people turned their attention to Li Xiaolong.
Because they knew that Li Xiaolong and Zhou Chen didn't get along. Right now, Qi Tianlei and others were supporting Zhou Chen, and Qi Tianlei had just ignored Li Xiaolong's presence. What would Li Xiaolong do?
Li Xiaolong was furious because this was the first time he had been ignored in public. Qi Tianlei was so disrespectful to him, not even bothering to give him a perfunctory response.
But Li Xiaolong knew he couldn't let it out, he couldn't let anyone see him lose his composure.
soon,
Li Xiaolong forced a smile and walked towards Qi Tianlei again.
Now that Qi Tianlei is here, he can't leave easily. Moreover, he can take this opportunity to make a fuss about something in front of Qi Tianlei, causing a rift to appear between Tencent and Hope Technology Network ahead of time.
Secondly, he wasn't afraid that Qi Tianlei would continue to ignore him. If he went over now and took the initiative to speak, he could show his magnanimity and make people look at Li Xiaolong with more respect. If Qi Tianlei continued to pretend not to see him, it would only give rise to gossip and leave people with the impression that he was narrow-minded and arrogant.
For various reasons, Li Xiaolong felt that leaving was not the best option.
"Mr. Qi, hello. I am Li Xiaolong, the initiator of this dinner party."
Li Xiaolong strode over and stopped in front of Zhou Chen and the others. He spoke in a polite manner, his voice loud and clear, so that everyone around him could hear him clearly.
When he said the words "initiator of the dinner party," he deliberately emphasized them, implying that he was the organizer of the dinner party. He implied that even though Qi Tianlei was the head of Tencent's game business, he had to give him some face when he came to his dinner party.
Upon hearing this, Qi Tianlei looked surprised: "So it was you who organized this dinner party for the gaming industry. I'm sorry, I thought you were just a student. I didn't expect you to be the initiator. At your age, to be able to invite so many prestigious bosses, young man, you must have quite a background. Impressive! When I was your age, I couldn't do what you did."
Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiaolong's brows furrowed instinctively.
The reason is simple: what seems like a compliment is actually tinged with sarcasm. Qi Tianlei is implying that Li Xiaolong was able to organize the banquet not because of his own abilities, but because of his family background. To be more precise, without his family background, Li Xiaolong is nothing.
Li Xiaolong could naturally understand the hidden meaning in Qi Tianlei's words.
The invited business owners were somewhat embarrassed, because Qi Tianlei's remarks not only subtly criticized Li Xiaolong, but also implied that they were being criticized as well.
"Mr. Qi, you flatter me. I am very grateful to all the bosses for supporting me. I believe that in business, we should all make money together. Since we are all in the game industry, we should sit down together to communicate and discuss so that this industry can develop better. What do you think, Mr. Qi?"
Li Xiaolong maintained his smile and showed no anger.
He is young, so he must not act impulsively. Only by appearing mature and composed can people overlook his age and trust and be willing to cooperate with him.
Li Xiaolong felt that Qi Tianlei's appearance was a good thing, as it allowed him to showcase his maturity. Zhou Chen was not worthy of being his opponent, but Qi Tianlei was definitely qualified, after all, Qi Tianlei was the head of Tencent Games, the number one game company in China.
"You're right. Only through communication can we discover and solve problems. As expected of the young master of the Li family in Hong Kong, you are so mature at such a young age. Your future achievements are limitless." Qi Tianlei nodded with a smile.
A glint of light flashed in Li Xiaolong's eyes. Since Qi Tianlei knew he was a member of the Li family in Hong Kong, his earlier ignoring of him was clearly intentional.
Secondly, Qi Tianlei's mention of his young age was clearly meant to emphasize to everyone and diminish his standing in the eyes of many.
After all, a young man with no experience is unreliable.
This is also Li Xiaolong's only shortcoming at present.
"President Qi, as the ancients said, 'Among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me.' Age cannot explain everything, nor is it the standard for measuring everything. A person's maturity lies in his mind, not his body."
Mr. Zhou succeeded in starting his business during his time at No. 1 High School, and I'm sure Mr. Qi is well aware of that. I'm just a little younger than Mr. Zhou.
