"Brother Chen, if you ask me, you're too kind. They've come to disgust you time and time again. Just send them to the police station and let Uncle Hat teach them a lesson."
"Yeah, Brother Chen, a mere apology is useless against them. They're shameless and don't care about losing face."
After the crowd dispersed,
Wang Rui and Zhang Hao felt that letting Zhao Kun and Zhou Ling go too easily was too lenient, and that they should be taught a lesson.
Zhou Chen knew about the three roommates because he was thinking of Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun, wanting to teach them a lesson so they wouldn't dare to cause trouble again.
Actually, there was a reason why he didn't bother Uncle Hat.
He wanted to keep the two of them alive so they could see for themselves that Li Xiaolong, from their alliance, was nothing.
This dinner was arranged behind the scenes by Li Xiaolong.
Before Li Xiaolong even took the stage to perform, how could we forget Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun, those two sycophantic spectators?
He seized on this point and gave the two men a choice: apologize or go to the police station.
Almost everyone in the police station knew Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun. Given their past misdeeds, Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun knew exactly what to choose: go to the police station for education or apologize and stay to watch him make a fool of himself.
Of course, we should swallow our anger for now and wait for Li Xiaolong to arrive before we can finally vent our frustrations.
Coincidentally, that's exactly the effect he wanted.
"Hello, are you Mr. Zhou Chen, the owner of Hope Technology Network?"
At this time,
Someone came over to say hello.
"It's me."
Zhou Chen responded politely.
"Hello Mr. Zhou, I also work in game development, and I'd like to make friends with you."
Faced with the other person's goodwill, Zhou Chen did not put on airs and started chatting with them.
Perhaps because Zhou Chen and Zhao Kun had made quite a commotion earlier, Zhou Chen's name had spread throughout the banquet, and more and more people were taking the initiative to strike up a conversation with him.
At first, it was the game company boss in a suit and tie. Later, some women with graceful figures and dressed in flamboyant clothes also took the initiative to get to know Zhou Chen.
Wang Rui, Zhang Hao, and Li Wei stood not far away, not disturbing Zhou Chen's conversation with others, and gave scores and evaluations to the women who took the initiative to approach them.
"This score is 93. The figure is good, but the looks are a bit lacking."
"The makeup is too heavy, but the body is still fleshy where it should be. I'll give it 91 points."
"Tsk tsk, there are so many beautiful women here. Even if all the campus beauties from Peking University were gathered together, they wouldn't be anything special. I just wonder which one will catch Brother Chen's attention."
"I think these ordinary women are all unworthy of Brother Chen."
While the three roommates were making their opinions...
The scene of Zhou Chen being surrounded by a group of people chatting was witnessed by many.
For example, Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun, who had just left dejectedly, were hit with a second blow by this scene. They needed to actively build connections and chat with others, while Zhou Chen, on the other hand, was constantly approached and talked to by people just by standing there.
Zhao Kun comforted himself by saying that these people were all third-rate small business owners.
Zhou Na, standing on the other end, shared similar mixed feelings.
Zhou Chen was surrounded by admirers, and few people could attract so many people to make their acquaintance with her.
Actually, at first, none of the game company bosses present knew that the boss of Hope Technology Network was there. After all, Zhou Chen was too low-key. Coupled with his casual attire and youth, he didn't give the impression of a billionaire boss at all, but rather like a boy next door.
Therefore, nobody paid attention.
It wasn't until Zhao Kun and Zhou Ling caused a commotion that people were able to connect Zhou Chen, who was standing before them, with the owner of Hope Network Technology.
“One day, I will be like him, standing firm and unmoved, while others will come for me.”
After feeling envious and jealous, Zhou Na was more inspired and encouraged.
She sees Zhou Chen as her goal to surpass.
“Let’s go over there.”
Zhou Na called out to Hao Ying beside her.
Hao Ying was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Hao Ying thought to herself, why did she have to ruin her relationship with Zhou Chen back then? Otherwise, with Zhou Chen's current fame, Zhou Na would definitely have found it easier to expand her network.
However, she ultimately couldn't bring herself to say these words and swallowed them back.
Because Hao Ying knew that if she said it out loud, it would only spoil the mood.
But she could sense that Zhou Na probably regretted her falling out with Zhou Chen back then.
As time goes by
More and more people entered the banquet hall. At first, you could see the end of the hall at a glance, but after less than half an hour, you could no longer see the end of the hall.
Zhao Kun was right about one thing: the bosses who arrived at the banquet hall early in the morning were generally of a lower caliber in terms of both wealth and influence.
And now, the real big bosses are starting to appear.
Every time someone comes in, they attract a lot of attention.
"This is a real big boss. Look at him, he goes out with a secretary and bodyguards. Then look at Zhou Chen, even if he has money, he's still a country bumpkin who can't stand up to anyone."
Zhao Kun watched as the CEO of a well-known game company was welcomed with great enthusiasm, his eyes filled with envy, wishing he could take his place.
Of course, at this moment, he didn't forget to continue mocking Zhou Chen.
But Zhao Kun forgot that while he mocked Zhou Chen for being unpresentable, he himself was not even presentable. If it weren't for Li Xiaolong, he wouldn't have even gotten a ticket to the competition.
"Brother Chen, were you interested in any of those beautiful women just now?"
"I believe that as long as you call them first, they will definitely be willing to go out to eat and go on dates with you."
Seeing the three chuckling, Zhou Chen knew what they were thinking, so he didn't respond to that question. Instead, he asked them if they had taken the initiative to make friends or get to know any people.
He originally intended to introduce the person who struck up a conversation to his three roommates, but all three of them went to the bathroom.
"The banquet is about to officially begin."
Zhou Chen glanced at the time, then looked towards the entrance. There were many people standing there, but he couldn't see who they were. Judging from their demeanor, they must all be important and popular business owners.
Um?
As Zhou Chen was scanning the crowd, he suddenly caught sight of two pairs of eyes, which instantly clashed.
The next second,
He clearly saw the owner of that gaze.
It's her!
Zhou Chen's expression flashed; he really hadn't expected that not only Zhou Ling had come to the banquet, but Zhou Na was also there.
Goodness!
Could Zhou Chuan, that scoundrel, be there too? That would be three ingrates all gathered together.
After a brief eye contact, Zhou Chen and Zhou Na looked away first, quickly looking away.
Zhou Chen shrugged, chuckled, and didn't take it seriously.
In the crowd,
Zhou Na let out a long sigh. For some reason, she didn't feel proud to be discovered by Zhou Chen. On the contrary, she felt ashamed and wanted to leave.
