No matter what the process is like, the result is always good - Zhou Lingrui has let go of his feelings for her.
Cheng Hao breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Lingrui, I hope you won't tell anyone about this... If your family asks you why, you can just say... I'm sick."
If Zhou Lingrui suddenly gave up, the Zhou family would definitely ask her the reason, and if it was a common reason, the Zhou family would probably not be able to accept it.
It was only for this reason that the Zhou family could accept it so quickly.
The Zhou family members are no simple people, and they certainly wouldn't say anything nonsense - if they really did, they would offend the Cheng family.
Cheng Hao and Zhou Lingrui talked for a long time. After they finally finished talking, Zhou Lingrui washed his face and went downstairs.
The makeup on her face was all washed off by crying, but there was no way for her to put it back on now, so this was the only way. Fortunately, she looked pretty even without makeup.
Princess Zhou was still very confident and walked down the stairs with her neck held high.
However, she didn't care at all, but others didn't think so. Seeing Zhou Lingrui coming downstairs with red eyes, everyone had different thoughts.
The young people at the banquet were a little surprised: "Did Zhou Lingrui cry?"
"She can cry too?"
"Was this rejected by Cheng Hao?"
"Cheng Hao is amazing! He actually dared to reject Zhou Lingrui! Isn't he afraid that the Zhou family will cause trouble for him?"
"The Zhou family must be furious!"
…
The Zhou family was truly furious. Their cherished child was actually crying. What on earth had Cheng Hao done?
Those who didn't have a good relationship with Cheng Yanqi, such as some people from the Cheng family's second branch, were secretly happy: "I thought that Cheng Hao was going to marry the Zhou family's little princess...tsk tsk!"
"Did Cheng Yanqi offend the Zhou family? Will it affect us?"
"Is there any chance that the board of directors can replace Cheng Yanqi?"
…
They discussed it secretly, but in the end they didn't dare to cause trouble at Cheng Yanqi's banquet.
If they really do this, Cheng Yanqi will definitely cause trouble for them!
After all, they are members of the Cheng family and don’t want anything to happen to the Cheng family.
Of course, it is inevitable to say some bad things about Cheng Yanqi in private.
As for the people from the third branch of the Cheng family, they were just as friendly to Cheng Hao as Cheng Yanzu. They even gave him some things on the spot, including famous paintings, jadeite, and houses, all of which were very valuable.
They won't lose out by giving these things out... Cheng Yanqi really loves Cheng Hao. If they give things to Cheng Hao, Cheng Yanqi will be happy and will definitely make up for it in other places.
Although Zhou Lingrui's incident happened at the banquet, the atmosphere was still very harmonious. And Zhou Lingrui... the Zhou family had already taken her to a corner and asked her what was going on.
After Zhou Lingrui made sure that there were no outsiders in the corner, he whispered that Cheng Hao was sick, with tears in his eyes as he spoke.
She didn't want to blame Cheng Hao for being sick at all, but she knew her family, and if she didn't say that, they would definitely not let it go.
But if she said that, her family would definitely not hold a grudge against Cheng Hao.
The Zhou family will indeed not hold a grudge against Cheng Hao.
They were stunned.
It turns out that Cheng Hao has such a problem. No wonder he looks down on their beautiful and lovely Lingrui.
Before, when they saw Zhou Lingrui coming down from upstairs with red eyes, the Zhou family members were very angry, but now they were not angry at all, and instead felt a little sympathy.
Zhou Lingrui said, "I didn't expect him to look so strong. But actually... I don't like him anymore. Don't tell anyone about this."
The Zhou family knew their limits. Cheng Hao told the truth, which showed that he was sincere. If they told this to anyone else, it would be too unethical.
Not only is it immoral, but Cheng Yanqi will definitely fight them to the death.
If Cheng Yanqi was just the head of the Cheng family, they wouldn't necessarily be afraid, but Cheng Yanqi also earned his own fortune...
The Zhou family looked at Cheng Hao with sympathy and promised Zhou Lingrui that they would never tell anyone about this.
"That's right, you can't tell me, otherwise I'll be embarrassed! You can just say that I don't really like Cheng Hao, but am just a fan!" Zhou Lingrui said: "I will continue to like boxer Cheng in the future!"
The Zhou family members all agreed and comforted Zhou Lingrui.
Although the people at the banquet couldn't hear what the Zhou family said in the corner, they all felt that they were definitely dissatisfied with Cheng Hao.
That’s what Cheng Tianlin thought. He even called and told someone about it right away.
However... after the Zhou family chatted in the corner, they actually walked towards Cheng Hao and spoke to him with a smile, and it seemed that they did not bear any grudge against Cheng Hao at all.
People at the banquet: "..."
Isn't it said that the Zhou family dotes on their little princess the most? Isn't it said that the Zhou family is petty? How come Cheng Hao treats their little princess like this, and they don't hold a grudge at all?
What’s even more amazing is Princess Zhou, who was crying just now, but now she can still talk to Cheng Hao with a smile!
All of this is really a bit weird.
Cheng Tianlin was stunned.
Did Cheng Hao cast a spell on Zhou Lingrui? How could Zhou Lingrui, who had such a bad temper, become so good-tempered in front of Cheng Hao? And even act like he was completely obedient to Cheng Hao?
The Cheng family's banquet was a great success, but outside the banquet hall, a storm was brewing.
After Cheng Yanqi confronted Cheng Yanzu a few days ago, he began to deal with Madam Cheng's family, especially the current head of the Zhao family, Madam Cheng's younger brother Zhao Demin, who has been arrested and imprisoned.
The Zhao family fell into decline many years ago, and no one cares about their situation anymore, so few people know about this.
But the Zhao family really hated Cheng Hao and Cheng Yanqi.
These days, those members of the Zhao family who were not arrested were thinking about escaping, while also thinking about teaching Cheng Hao and Cheng Yanqi a lesson, and preferably causing some trouble for the Cheng family.
Then they leaked some information to the media.
For example, the famous boxing champion Cheng in the United States is actually the son of Cheng Yanqi.
For example, Cheng Yanqi plans to hand over his company to Cheng Hao, who knows nothing about company affairs.
They even fabricated some scandals about Cheng Hao and told them to the media, such as Cheng Hao taking drugs and injuring people abroad.
Not everyone may believe these things, but some things become true if you say them enough.
If the media reports on this, Cheng’s stock price will definitely fall, and Cheng Yanqi will be in trouble!
However, the Zhao family had good intentions, but when they actually did it, no media dared to report it.
Hong Kong is such a small place, and they all need to eat. In this case, they would be crazy to offend the Cheng family!
If Cheng Yanqi comes to cause trouble for them, they will not be able to stop him at all!
What's more, those who work in the media are well-informed. They all know that Cheng Hao donated 20 million yuan in China, which was widely reported in the country. They also know that Zhou Lingrui, the little princess of the Zhou family, is pursuing Cheng Hao.
The Cheng family alone is not easy to deal with, and with the Zhou family added to the mix, they must be crazy to be looking for trouble with Cheng Hao and reporting some groundless stories.
All media, regardless of size, refused to publish Cheng Hao's scandal, and only published some news such as "Cheng Yanqi's son has been found, suspected to be American boxing champion Cheng."
The Zhao family felt very upset when they saw this situation.
But the media didn't listen to them, and they had no choice... Until today when the Cheng family held a banquet, they learned that the Cheng family and the Zhou family had a falling out at the banquet.
Perhaps, this is the only chance to make the Cheng family lose face!
It would be even better if the Cheng family and the Zhou family could turn against each other.
When the Zhao family learned about this, they were so happy that they immediately went to the media and said a lot of exaggerated stories.
The Cheng and Zhou families fell out? Cheng Hao had so coldly and ruthlessly rejected the Zhou family's little princess and even made her cry at the banquet?
In fact, those media have been keeping an eye on Cheng Hao for a long time and really want to report news about Cheng Hao, but they just didn't dare. Now that they learned about this, they were scratching their heads and wanted to rush up to interview Cheng Hao.
There were already media outlets waiting outside the Cheng family's banquet venue, and after the Zhao family's actions, even more people were waiting. That would have been fine, but the Zhao family was so determined that they bribed some media outlets and found some people to infiltrate the reporters...
The Cheng family's banquet lasted for a long time.
After the banquet was over, Cheng Yanqi and Cheng Hao personally saw the guests out.
They only sent the people to the yard and should not have had any contact with the reporters waiting outside. But for some reason, the large number of reporters gathered outside rushed in.
Seeing this, Cheng Yanqi frowned and without thinking, asked his bodyguards to protect the guests who had not left.
As a result, the media were not interested in the guests, but came for him and Cheng Hao.
That would be fine, but these people were particularly rude: "Mr. Cheng, I heard that you plan to hand over Cheng's to your son Cheng Hao, who has little education. Is this true?"
"Mr. Cheng, why did you let your son take up boxing instead of studying management?"
"Mr. Cheng, there are reports from abroad claiming that your son has many bad habits abroad. What do you think?"
"Cheng Hao, I heard that you dislike the eldest daughter of the Zhou family?"
"Cheng Hao, I heard that you received a lot of gifts from the eldest daughter of the Zhou family while you were abroad?"
…
These people asked all kinds of questions, and each one was very impolite.
Cheng Yanqi realized almost immediately that someone was targeting him.
If he doesn't give a good answer now, these people will probably add fuel to the fire and say that Cheng Hao is incompetent and wants to manage the Cheng family, and there is also the Zhou family... He doesn't know what Cheng Hao said to Zhou Lingrui, but if this situation is not handled well, the Zhou family will also be angry.
Cheng Yanqi wanted to explain properly, but the media kept crowding around them and didn't even give them a chance to speak!
These people definitely came here to cause trouble for him!
Cheng Yanqi was a little angry, but he didn't know that at this time, the media were also a little confused.
Although they came here for the news about the Cheng and Zhou families, they didn't intend to ask such sharp questions, nor did they dare to storm this place. As a result, they didn't know what happened, but someone forced them to come here!
The two sides were in a stalemate, and there were people who had a bad relationship with Cheng Yanqi who were adding fuel to the fire.
A playboy from the second branch of the Cheng family, who was of the same generation as Cheng Hao, shouted, "What? Sixth Uncle, are you planning to give the company to Cheng Hao? Cheng Hao hasn't even graduated from high school, how can he manage a company?"
As soon as the man said this, the other people from the second house, who had always hated Cheng Hao, slapped him in the face.
This guy is crazy! If this gets out, the Cheng family's stock price will plummet, and they won't suffer any consequences!
Even if they hate Cheng Yanqi, they will only make trouble at home and will not do it outside!
However, even though they did this, they could not stop the situation.
The media, who didn't know whether it was true or not, asked even more questions.
The guests who had just attended the Cheng family's banquet were all worried about Cheng Yanqi, and the Zhou family members were even more upset.
They no longer planned to let Zhou Lingrui and Cheng Hao be together, but they also didn't want others to think that Cheng Hao dumped Zhou Lingrui!
Look at those reporters, what kind of questions are they asking? They even asked, "Cheng Hao, I heard that when you rejected the Zhou family's marriage proposal, Miss Zhou burst into tears?"
"I heard that Miss Zhou pursued you for two years abroad. Did you abandon her in the end?"
"Have you ever considered the many collaborations between the Zhou and Cheng families when you treat Miss Zhou like this?"
…
The reporters asked one after another, and Cheng Yanqi said, "These are all slanders! If you want to know the truth, I can hold a press conference now!"
Those real journalists are of course willing to listen to the Cheng family's explanation, but the key is that there are many people in this group who are not journalists at all.
These people even secretly attacked the Cheng family's bodyguards, and the scene was a bit chaotic for a while.
Cheng Hao was surrounded and felt a little unhappy.
The current situation was not right, and he certainly felt it. He was even very calm and found some people who were not right among those "reporters".
Seeing that the situation was getting a little out of control, Cheng Hao stepped forward, grabbed the clothes of one of the people who was jumping the most happily, and lifted him up.
It's quite cold now, and these people have to stay outside to report the news late at night, so they are wearing a lot of clothes. He can grab people's clothes on the chest and lift them up.
Reporters: “…”
Guests who didn't leave: "..."
"You should speak properly." Cheng Hao said.
Those reporters were taking pictures professionally, but at the same time... they were shocked and speechless.
The person lifted up by Cheng Hao was really fat, maybe even two hundred pounds!
Cheng Hao is so strong!
They suddenly remembered the boxing videos of Cheng Hao that they had watched when they were collecting information about him these days. If Cheng Hao became famous, he could easily take on a group of weaklings like them by himself, right?
Even those who accepted money from the Zhao family to cause trouble didn't dare to speak at this moment. If they said anything again, Cheng Hao would throw this fat man at them, and they would definitely be finished!
Seeing this, Cheng Hao signaled Cheng Yanqi to explain carefully - he really had never thought about managing the company!
However, before Cheng Yanqi could speak, a voice suddenly rang out: "Boss, you should pay attention to your image!"
The voice sounded very familiar. Cheng Hao turned around and saw Lin Yuxun, and was immediately surprised.
But why did Lin Yuxun call him "boss"?
Cheng Hao was puzzled when Lin Yuxun came over with a group of bodyguards. At the same time, Cheng Hao's bodyguard team who were originally staying upstairs also came down.
About twenty foreigners appeared in a flash and surrounded Cheng Hao.
Those reporters looked at Cheng Hao's bodyguards, the muscular men, and then looked at their own thin arms and legs, and they all wanted to retreat.
"Boss! You are on the Forbes rich list, why are you so rude?" Lin Yuxun said. He spoke in English. After all, most people here can understand English.
But they could understand it, but they also felt that they didn’t quite understand it, at least Cheng Hao didn’t understand it.
What is the Forbes Rich List? When did he become a member of the Forbes Rich List?
The guests were even more confused.
In fact, they were a little worried when they heard the aggressive words of those reporters.
Nowadays, many companies here are family-owned and prefer to be managed by their own family members. If Cheng Yanqi really wants to let Cheng Hao manage the company, the future of the Cheng family will be unpredictable!
These people were worried, and when they suddenly heard about the Forbes rich list, they were even more shocked.
Could it be that Cheng Yanqi had already given all his company and everything to Cheng Hao? Otherwise, how could Cheng Hao be on the Forbes rich list?
The reporters also pricked up their ears—was the Forbes Rich List released? When was it released?
Just when a group of people were confused, Lin Yuxun smiled at Cheng Hao and said, "Boss, congratulations, you are on the Forbes Rich List that was just announced today."
Lin Yuxun wanted to come and attend the Cheng family's banquet today, and for this reason, he was extremely busy in the past few days.
However, even so, he was busy until this morning before he got everything done.
That would have been fine, but he wanted to fly over to see Cheng Hao right away, but something unexpected happened and the plane was delayed!
When he arrived in Hong Kong, the banquet had already begun!
Since the party had already started, he was not so anxious and found a hotel to change clothes. At this time, his friend in the United States called him and told him the good news.
Both he and Cheng Hao are on the Forbes rich list.
The reason they made the list is entirely because he has invested in many companies related to computers and the Internet over the years.
This year's richest man in the world is a man who runs a software company. Cheng Hao and Lin Yuxun both have shares in this company, and they also have shares in many other companies...naturally, they are on the list.
Lin Yuxun had actually anticipated this. Those people had approached him before making the list, and he agreed to let them disclose his financial situation - this would make Cheng Hao more famous, which would be good for Cheng Hao, and would also give him more say - he always remembered that Cheng Hao said they would have the opportunity to get married in the future, and he was working hard for it.
He was very happy to learn about this and immediately came to find Cheng Hao, intending to give Cheng Hao a surprise.
However, an accident happened...someone was looking for trouble with Cheng Hao!
"What Forbes Rich List?" Cheng Yanqi asked in confusion.
"It's like this, the boss is a shareholder and founder of Treasure Hunt Entertainment. He also owns shares in XX, XXX, XXXX and other companies. Now he is on the Forbes rich list." Lin Yuxun said sincerely, and kept calling him "boss", as if he was really just an employee.
Cheng Yanqi had long known that Cheng Hao had a lot of shares, but he didn't know exactly how many shares Cheng Hao owned. He thought Cheng Hao didn't own much...
As a result, Cheng Hao can still be on the Forbes rich list?
As for Cheng Hao, he was actually more puzzled than Cheng Yanqi.
Lin Yuxun always used his money to invest and often asked him to sign contracts, but he actually never paid attention to what those contracts were. Now, after listening to Lin Yuxun, he realized that he also had shares in a very famous large company in later generations.
Cheng Hao remembered that a certain system developer had become the world's richest man in 1995 and had held that position steadily for ten years. And now... he actually still had shares in this person's company.
He didn't know it before!
Where did he get all this stock? Also, while he's not poor, he's probably not particularly wealthy either. So how did he end up on the Forbes rich list?
The reporters were taking pictures of Lin Yuxun, and some of the guests were already making phone calls. Someone even recognized Lin Yuxun and said, "I know you. You're the CEO of Xunbao Entertainment! Wait, aren't you the founder of Xunbao Entertainment?"
"Yes." Lin Yuxun said, "Actually, I founded Xunbao Entertainment at Cheng Hao's suggestion. However, Cheng Hao was very busy, so he handed the company over to me. He only took a few 20% of the shares."
As soon as Lin Yuxun said this, the guests present all gasped.
They all knew about Xunbao Entertainment, and many of them were even envious of this company and other emerging companies. But now... someone told them that Cheng Hao was the founder of Xunbao Entertainment and had invested in the company they were so envious of?
If this is true, Cheng Hao might actually be on the Forbes rich list.
Just as everyone was thinking this, someone on the phone said, "This is true! Cheng Hao is really on the Forbes rich list, and he's even in the top 100!"
"I asked people, and it's true!"
"Computer companies have seen incredible growth in recent years!"
…
These people were extremely jealous, as if they had overturned hundreds of vinegar bottles in their hearts. They all wanted to grab Cheng Yanqi and shake him, asking Cheng Yanqi to tell them how he raised his son!
It was already very enviable that Cheng Hao was able to become the world champion.
The children of these rich people are very ordinary in all aspects, and some are even very unmotivated. Although Cheng Hao did not have any achievements in business at that time, the fact that he became a world champion was enough to prove that he was a talented and persevering person.
And having such a son, how proud it is!
The result? This Cheng Hao wasn't just a world champion; he also possessed unparalleled business talent! At only thirty years old, he was already richer than them!
Cheng Yanqi doesn't seem to have raised this son much... How lucky is he!
The reporters were even more excited, this was big news!
Wait, their behavior just now seemed to have offended the Cheng family and Cheng Hao?
The reporters were all shivering—it was really cold today…
At this moment, even the people invited by the Zhao family were frightened.
The Zhao family said that the Cheng family and the Zhou family had fallen out, and told them not to be afraid, but now... even if the Cheng family really fell out with the Zhou family, the Cheng family alone could kill them!
There was no sound at the scene for a while. At this time, Lin Yuxun asked innocently, "By the way, what exactly happened here?"
