Chapter 515 Night Meeting Counselor
The next day, Zhang Tao and Zhang Xuhao came to Cheng Zhu's company together.
Cheng Zhu and Shen Qingning received the two together.
After meeting twice, Cheng Zhu and Brother Hao had actually become somewhat familiar with each other, but it was the first time that they met Zhang Tao.
【Dianping】 was established in 2003 and is the earliest independent third-party consumer review website.
And it is the earliest in the world.
In 2006, it received the first round of investment from RedShan Capital and became one of the earliest projects of RedShan (China).
Of course, what really made Dianping take off was definitely Penguin's strong investment. In 2014, it acquired 20% of Dianping's shares in one go.
Generally speaking, Zhang Tao has always been clinging to the support of Penguin and Hongshan.
After a brief meeting, even Shen Qingning could feel that Zhang Tao was the most relaxed one at this stage.
He was not anxious, nor was he under that much pressure, and he was even quite high-spirited.
Of course, he does have the qualifications now.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to Penguin and Hongshan, Wanda is also behind [Dianping].
In the office, Shen Qingning sat aside and listened to Cheng Zhu talking to them.
Last night, after she returned home, her father Shen Guoqiang specifically asked her that he had seen the news about Yuzu Tea and the two major food delivery platforms.
These people are all at the forefront of the times at this stage.
Shen Guoqiang also needs to pay great attention when meeting with them.
When Shen Guoqiang heard that [Mi Tuan] was interested in participating in the financing of Youcha in the future, his expression was obviously moved, and he said: "Cheng Zhu should not be able to refuse such conditions."
"If I were you, I would also think this is the best choice." He nodded slightly, thinking that the young man had already gained the greatest benefit.
However, when Shen Qingning told about the conversation between Cheng Zhu and Zhang Xuhao and expressed his intention to personally participate in the F round of financing of [Are You Hungry], Shen Guoqiang couldn't help but hook his index finger inward on the palm of his hand placed on the table!
As a big boss in the business world, he was shocked at first, but then from Shen Qingning's description, he quickly understood the series of connections involved.
"The relationships among the various parties here are complicated, and people's hearts are complicated too!"
"If he had such an idea from the beginning, it could only be Zhang Xuhao, it could only be [Are you hungry]!"
"It's impossible for anyone else to reach an agreement! There will be no such cooperation with [Mi Tuan]."
"Moreover, he used everything he could, not only his own advantages, but also the use of other people's strengths and his control over the overall situation."
Thinking of this, he suddenly asked Shen Qingning: “These food delivery platforms should have contacted him a long time ago, right?”
"Yes." Shen Qingning nodded.
"But, we've never met, and never sat down and had a good talk with the person who can make the final decision?" Shen Guoqiang asked again.
"Yes." Shen Qingning recalled and gave an affirmative answer.
In her impression, Cheng Zhu seemed to have been dragging this matter on.
“It seems that he has been waiting for this opportunity, waiting for the situation to become chaotic, and then taking the opportunity to maximize his own interests!” Shen Guoqiang’s eyes darkened.
He couldn't understand how a college student could have such vision?
He did not think that Cheng Zhu was a man of foresight and believed that events would develop according to his expectations.
This is not in line with common sense and would seem too outrageous.
Shen Guoqiang speculated that he had been waiting and watching, waiting for an opportunity to act.
Then, he really seized the most advantageous point!
Just this alone made him feel terrified.
In addition, Cheng Zhu's ambitions far exceeded his expectations.
“I actually thought about investing in [Are You Hungry].”
Shen Guoqiang didn’t know whether this kid’s idea could succeed under the current situation.
He only knew one thing, that is, the entire capital circle was watching the F round of financing of [Are You Hungry], and who wouldn’t want to get involved if they were capable?
In this case, the Shen family is not qualified.
It’s not that the Shen family is bad, it’s just that in this new battle between Alibaba and Penguin, the Shen family can’t provide much help.
Shen Guoqiang was not sure whether Cheng Zhu had a chance to get a ticket.
But the fact that a young man dares to think and do this is enough to be admired and enough to make people feel his courage and ambition!
Therefore, he once again praised Cheng Zhu fiercely in front of Shen Qingning.
In addition, he did not forget to ask: "You are responsible for a lot of work in Yuzucha now, right?"
"Yeah, that's right."
"Do you have much contact with him?" he asked again.
The arrogant girl didn't expect her father to ask her this out of the blue. She felt a little complicated, and finally just said, "It's mostly business."
“Well, the more you get in touch with him, the better. I still say that you can learn a little from him. He is very special among you young people.” Shen Guoqiang reminded again.
He was very relieved about Lin Lu's boyfriend.
Everyone was having a great chat in the office.
Shen Qingning rarely spoke beside him, looking a bit like a vase next to Cheng Zhu.
But in fact, she listened very carefully and even tried to study Cheng Zhu's speaking skills.
She could sense that Cheng Zhu really liked the progressive way of chatting, but his progression was very natural, and he would gradually achieve his goal.
In addition, he sometimes does some groundwork.
This made the tsundere girl recall the intimate moments she had with him in the past.
"This bad guy always does this to me when he's with me. It's all his tricks!"
She remembered the night when they rode the electric car together enjoying the evening breeze.
That day was the anniversary of Shen Qingning's mother's death. Cheng Zhu told her that there was a saying that people would turn into a gust of wind after death.
Then, when they got outside, he naturally invited her: "Come on, I'll take you out for some fresh air."
But, she was the one being comforted that day after all.
So whenever I think of it, I feel a little warm in my heart.
Cheng Zhu, who was talking so eloquently, didn't know that Ning Ning was studying Cheng Zhu's conversation skills under his father's suggestion.
He is in a good mood now because he has achieved his goal.
Zhang Xuhao glanced at Brother Tao, the slightly plump man with a silly smile, and said, "Mr. Cheng, we had a meeting yesterday. We welcome you to join our [Are You Hungry] family."
But he quickly changed the subject: "But you should also know that the competition for the F round of financing is very fierce, including within our own company. Some venture capital firms even suggested not to bring in new investors this time."
"So, the share left for you won't be much. I think it's better to make this clear at the beginning." Zhang Xuhao said.
Cheng Zhu had no objection to this and said, "That's no problem. We can discuss it in detail later."
He had never thought about investing heavily in the F round of financing.
All he wanted was a ticket to enter.
After all, the F round of financing is only enough for [Are You Hungry] to burn for a while.
Hundreds of millions of dollars disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Next, [Are You Hungry] will need a steady stream of funds and resources outside of funds.
Cheng Zhu has plenty of opportunities to slowly demonstrate his value and energy.
Zhang Tao sat on the side and didn't say much throughout the whole process.
Finally, he just said: "In fact, we [Dianping] and [Yuzu Tea] can also reach some in-depth cooperation."
Cheng Zhu naturally agreed.
For a while, everyone was chatting happily.
Zhang Tao and Zhang Xuhao also said: "With Mr. Cheng's exclusive entry, [Mi Tuan] will have a headache."
At this point, the topic also turned to how Wang Xin would respond to Cheng Zhu's strong entry?
"He should try his best to win over brands like Yuecha and affordable milk tea like Mingcha, especially the latter, which still has a very high market share in some small cities," said Zhang Xuhao.
Zhang Tao nodded slightly at the side.
He is actually only thinking about one thing now.
"Now the grapefruit tea, the tea, and the persistent visits are all ours!"
"Next time, Lao Wang, come and talk to me about the merger, and I'll be even more confident!"
"You're actually thinking that he'll get six and I'll get four. Haha, I won't even agree to a fifty-fifty split!"
——"The advantage lies in me"!
At present, due to Alibaba’s inaction, Dianping and Ele.me do have advantages in all aspects.
Zhang Tao only wanted to unify the world after the merger, and didn't care about anything else.
In essence, he and Zhang Xuhao are actually a little estranged from each other.
Once [MiTuan] is really merged with [Dianping], then [Are You Hungry] will no longer be important.
This little fat boy with a silly smile will also become a discarded pawn!
This was the ending of "Are You Hungry?" in the previous life!
Cheng Zhu listened to their words and suddenly smiled.
Shen Qingning knew him, and when she saw his smile, she knew what he was going to do.
——You have an order for [Has it been installed], please check it.
He's going to start showing off.
Cheng Zhu just raised his head slightly, his expression was extremely calm, his tone was also calm, but the words he said were earth-shattering.
"It's useless for [Mi Tuan] to go to Yuecha, Lecha and the like. It can't affect the overall situation."
He didn't take Chen Yue and the others seriously at all. They were just crazy women who were only worthy of being rubbed under me.
"I'm afraid he'll go straight to the penguin!"
"Impossible, this is impossible!"
Cheng Zhu's words were like thunder from a clear sky, exploding in the office.
But after being shocked, Zhang Tao and Zhang Xuhao both agreed that this idea was incredible and unrealistic.
We are the penguin father’s biological sons.
Instead of helping us, it helps Ali’s [Mi Tuan]?
Is this fucking possible?
Why would Penguin Dad provide support to Ali’s godson? Isn’t this nonsense?
"After all, you are still too young."
"It's normal for young people to have wild ideas." Such thoughts came to the minds of the two.
Cheng Zhuze knew when to stop. He mentioned this deliberately but would not discuss it in detail.
What he wants is for you to not believe it, but the facts verify his guess!
Wang Xin, who has had nine entrepreneurial experiences, is really awesome.
With Lao Wang's kind of sexy energy, even Zhang Tao and Zhang Xuhao combined are not as good as him!
Shen Qingning has a deeper understanding of Cheng Zhuze.
"What bad ideas has he started to have again?" she thought to herself.
But no matter from which angle she looked at it, she felt that it was impossible for the penguin to help [Mi Tuan]. It didn't make sense.
Therefore, she was unable to see through Cheng Zhu's thoughts.
However, this pair of partners had a [lip friendship] and based on their in-depth understanding of each other, she didn't believe that Cheng Zhu was really joking. His posture just now was obviously meaningful!
"This bad guy is playing tricks again." The clever Ningning spat inwardly.
We chatted for a while and everyone achieved their goal.
Zhang Tao and Zhang Xuhao stood up to leave, Cheng Zhu and Shen Qingning stood up to see them off.
This conversation had a feeling of "both the host and the guests had a great time".
However, Cheng Zhu's hidden move had already been made quietly.
After sending Zhang Tao and Zhang Xuhao away, the cold girl looked at him and asked, "You are serious, right?"
Cheng Zhu naturally knew what she was asking, but he deliberately stared into her beautiful eyes and asked, "With whom? In what aspect?"
"I mean, you said Wang Xin from [Rice Group] would go find Penguin."
"Yes." Cheng Zhu said.
"Penguins will help?"
"That's hard to say." He smiled.
After he finished speaking, he continued to stare into the beautiful eyes of the arrogant girl and said, "I won't be too sure about what I say, so that you won't think I'm so awesome and predictable."
Ningning saw him staring at her, and turned her head away, not bothering to pay attention to him.
But the seed of curiosity had already been planted in her heart.
Shen Qingning wanted to know whether the result would be the same as Cheng Zhu said.
As the sun was about to set, Cheng Zhu and Shen Qingning walked out of the meeting room together and took the elevator to the parking lot.
In recent days, the two have been in almost this mode.
He would wait for her to report part of her work, then have a brief conversation for a few minutes before leaving get off work together.
But after getting out of the elevator, they will leave separately. There will be no additional contact in private, nor will they talk about going out for dinner together after work.
Shen Qingning was avoiding suspicion.
Cheng Zhu created this effect intentionally.
Two Land Rovers drove out of the underground garage one after the other, and then drove in different directions on the road.
Shen Qingning is going home today, and she wants to talk to her father, just to learn from him.
Cheng Zhu drove to Greentown Rose Garden. His counselor had cooked a table full of his favorite dishes and was waiting for him to eat at home.
As soon as he opened the door, he smelled the aroma of food.
Chen Jieyu was wearing an apron and frying the last vegetable in the kitchen, which was the lettuce that Cheng Zhu loved to eat.
He walked into the kitchen, his hand naturally around her waist, and asked, "Is this the last dish? It's enough to eat."
"Well, go wash your hands and sit down." said the counselor wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
"Okay." Cheng Zhu went to wash his hands.
Today, Chen Jieyu wore a sleeveless silk shirt on her upper body and a long skirt on her lower body, which covered half of her calves.
The effect of this long suit is a bit like creating the curve of a mermaid's tail.
Her waist-to-hip ratio is perfect, and with the outline of this tight long skirt, she really has the beauty of a mermaid line, adding a special charm.
After dinner, her cell phone rang.
Cheng Zhu took a look and saw that the caller was Chen Ruyu, Chen Jieyu's mother.
She chose not to answer.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Zhu asked knowingly.
He knew in his heart that the gambler Chen Qin had been put in jail last month.
But Concubine Chen never mentioned it to him, so he pretended not to know.
"Nothing," she said.
"You can tell me anything. I know you are the kind of person who keeps things to yourself and you are used to it, but you can make an exception with me." He put his big hand on the back of her hand and said softly.
People like the counselor who have never had anyone to rely on since childhood can easily go to two extremes.
One type is the "life-saving straw type", who grabs a person whom he thinks is reliable and then tortures him to death, as if he has grabbed the last straw and wants the other person to bear all the consequences.
One type is like her, who is used to keeping things in her heart and used to handling everything on her own.
She listened to Cheng Zhu's words, pursed her lips tightly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "He was arrested, my dad."
"Hiss, good news!" Cheng Zhu said directly.
Concubine Chen looked up at him, not knowing what to do for a moment.
"Is it serious?" Cheng Zhu asked.
"It's serious."
"That's great."
If Chen Qin was a human being, Cheng Zhu would not speak so bluntly, after all, he is his biological father.
Chen Jieyu lowered her eyelids slightly, glanced at her phone, and said, "She wants me to find a connection and ask me to find Dean Zhang."
"You went?" Cheng Zhu frowned.
"How is that possible?" Concubine Chen replied.
She looked ahead, as if she wasn't staring at anything, her eyes were not focused, and she said, "Actually, I think she and my brother will be better off without him in the family."
In Cheng Zhu's mind, Chen Ruyu is actually the accomplice in the idiom "being an accomplice to the tiger".
She seemed a bit like someone who had been completely tamed by Chen Qin.
This man was clearly a serious domestic violence offender, but even after he was arrested, she was still thinking of asking her daughter to find some connections.
In Cheng Zhu's opinion, he didn't think Chen Ruyu was that good. She was just a good guy and a bad guy.
This can be seen from the previous 50,000 yuan incident and the fact that the two of them came to the Polytechnic University specifically this time.
But the tiger had already been beaten by "Wu Song", so there was no need to pay attention to the ghost.
Even though her husband was in jail, she was still in pain and torture!
"So what are you going to do next?" Cheng Zhu asked.
"I can't do anything, but I told her that I will help pay half of Chen Qi's college tuition. Do you think it's okay?" The counselor also asked about the students in the class.
Chen Qi is her younger brother.
"Of course, you can make your own decision. Your brother doesn't have any big problems." He knew very well that Concubine Chen would not be a woman who supports her brother, and it was impossible for her to be such a woman.
According to her description, Chen Qi is the type of person who peacefully enjoys all the good things his patriarchal parents give him.
Many boys in such families are like this, and it is part of human nature.
But at many critical moments, such as when Chen Qin was furious and wanted to hit someone, Chen Qi would speak up for her sister and protected her several times.
With Cheng Zhu's understanding of human nature, he was even very clear that if Concubine Chen did nothing and didn't help from now on, there would be endless troubles in the future.
On the contrary, if you help those you are willing to help and do things that you don’t reject, others will be wary and afraid of losing everything.
She just needs to be resolute enough and stand firm enough.
Anyway, this is all I can give you. No matter how much more you say, it’s useless. If you provoke me, you’ll lose everything!
If Concubine Chen really said that she could do nothing, Cheng Zhu would instead take the initiative to suggest that she could give a little "charity".
What I'm afraid of is encountering the situation where you feel sorry for her and treat her well all the time, but she ends up not being able to figure things out.
The most terrifying thing is that people like the counselor who are relatively sober are actually a minority, while the latter are the majority in real life!
"Cheng Zhu, do you think I'm actually a big trouble?" the counselor asked suddenly.
"It's quite troublesome. I'm actually very tired from work recently, but..." He stared at her straight, then pulled her over and let her sit directly on his legs.
Because the long dress was very tight, she couldn't sit with her legs apart, so she could only sit sideways.
The dress wrapped her legs, so when she sat sideways, she could only sit on Cheng Zhu's thighs, and then cross her legs together and curl up slightly on the sofa.
The mermaid-like feeling suddenly became stronger.
More importantly, her body was a little twisted when she sat like this. Her hip-to-hip ratio was already amazing. She was the kind of woman with naturally wide hips. At this time, her skirt was stretched extremely tight.
"When people get along with each other, they will naturally cause trouble to each other." Cheng Zhu said this in a considerate manner, his claws already touching his waist.
It is light and elastic, and it is firm and elastic.
He raised his head and kissed her lips.
After they kissed for about ten seconds, he would separate and stare into her eyes behind her gold-rimmed glasses, then kiss again and separate again.
After repeating this several times, he raised one hand, passed it across her cheek and ear, stroked her hair, then lowered his head and looked down at himself, and said, "Teacher, help me solve this problem too."
The counselor would never respond at times like this, but no matter what Cheng Zhu asked her to do, she would do it obediently.
Looking at her serious and abstinent face, Cheng Zhu's big hand, which was passing through her earlobe and stroking her hair, moved back slightly, supported her head, and pressed it forward slightly.
She immediately understood, leaned over and kissed him, covering Cheng Zhu's lips and actively responding.
The hem of the long tight dress was constantly pulled higher.
Cheng Zhu was very clear that he had a deep infatuation with Concubine Chen.
He liked her gold-rimmed glasses, her slightly serious temperament, her abstinence-like feeling, and her sense of being an urban mature woman that perfectly suited the OL style.
He liked her wonderful hip-to-hip ratio, the tightness that was irresistible, and the "pop" sound every time he pulled away.
His and her taboo identities always make people more excited.
A bastard like Cheng Zhu actually gets bored with women very quickly.
But due to the influence of multiple factors, he didn't feel tired of Teacher Chen at all, not even a little bit.
On the contrary, he enjoyed himself most of the time and was even a little indulged.
Of course, how many students would not do this?
The serious and abstinent counselor may not even know it herself. She is very addictive!
I love your belly
One hundred thousand acres of roses,
Love you too
A small dose of poison on the tip of your tongue. 】
——"Ripples".
(ps: Please give me a monthly ticket, please give me a monthly ticket~)
