Chapter 7
07
Although Wang Zhi got the long-awaited six million, he was not happy at all.
What did Gao Bochong mean by that last sentence?! What did he mean by when was the first time they met?
Wang Zhi asked himself, if he had met such an outstanding person like Gao Bo Chong once, he would never forget him.
unless……
Unless I slept with him without knowing it!
Even more terrifying!
Wang Zhi rolled over and accidentally kicked the teddy bear that was lying on the bed. Too lazy to get out of bed, he just leaned over the bed with his upper body, unable to move, and pulled the bear back.
The little bear felt soft in Wang Zhi's arms, and its black, beady eyes looked at him innocently. Wang Zhi held the bear and reviewed the situation again.
More than half a year ago, he rejected the unspoken offer of a wealthy investor in the circle, so he has not received any scripts and is in a very bad state. Suddenly, a producer he had worked with before called him and told him that a new film was being put together and asked if he was interested in having a meal and chatting.
Without movies to shoot, there would be no money to earn. Wang Zhi didn't think much about it at the time. Only when he arrived at the hotel box did he find that the investor he had offended before was also there.
He wanted to leave, but the producer stopped him and told him to just have a drink. Wang Zhi didn't really want to leave, as the boss had sexually harassed him more than once or twice, but for the sake of the producer, he stayed and had a couple of drinks.
Just these two glasses of wine ruined everything.
Wang Zhi thought he could drink quite well, so he dared to drink. He didn't expect that the wine was foreign liquor mixed with white wine, and the aftereffect was particularly strong.
Later, Wang Zhi thought about it carefully and realized that it was not the alcohol that got him drunk so quickly, but that there was drugs in the wine.
Anyway, after two glasses of wine, Wang Zhi felt unwell. He felt soft and light all over, and hot. He couldn't help but want to take off his clothes. The people in the box gradually left, leaving only Wang Zhi and the fat investor.
Seeing Wang Zhi's drunken look, the investor pouted his lips and said smugly, "You pretended to be pure and innocent, but you still fell into my hands."
——Thanks to the investor’s evil smile, Wang Zhiwa vomited.
The investor was furious with him, but he didn't want the opportunity to fly away, so he stood up and called for someone to come in and clean up the mess.
He remembered.
Wang Zhi rubbed his forehead.
He took advantage of this time to escape and squeezed into the elevator. He was afraid that the investor's men would know which floors he went to, so he pressed the button for each floor.
On which floor did the elevator finally stop?
No impression...
All he remembered was the door opening and him falling into an embrace. The arms were strong and powerful, with a faint and cold scent of cologne. It was not until he entered him that the cold breath turned hot...
Wang Zhi sat up suddenly.
That hotel! There are surveillance cameras!
Yes, he could go to the hotel and check the surveillance footage to find out which floor he went to and which room he entered, and then follow the clues to find out the name of the pile driver.
Wang Zhi was a man of action. He immediately flipped through his WeChat list and found the previous producer.
Fortunately I forgot to delete the friend.
Wang Zhixian went to look through the producer’s circle of friends and was surprised to find that the producer had gone bankrupt some time ago.
Wow, is it so efficient to punish evil?
Wang Zhi thought about it, changed his profile picture to a photo of himself and Gao Fengming, and then sent the message.
[He Xiu]: "Mr. Zhao, are you there?"
The producer used to live a life of luxury, but after going bankrupt, he had to stay home. He had originally not wanted to talk to Wang Zhi, but when he saw Wang Zhi's profile picture, he thought the person in the photo looked familiar, like some wealthy second-generation rich kid, so he replied listlessly.
[Producer Zhao]: "Xiao Wang, it's so late, what's wrong?"
[He Xiu]: "Mr. Zhao, I just want to ask what the name of the hotel you took me to before was."
The producer was silent for a moment: "Why are you asking this?"
Wang Zhi typed another line with a smile.
[He Xiu]: "Gao Fengming and I are getting engaged. I remember that hotel was pretty good~"
He was afraid that the producer didn’t know who he was, so he used Gao Fengming’s full name.
He is so sweet.
The other side suddenly became quiet, with only the "Input in Progress" message popping up from time to time above the head, like the cold sweat on the producer's forehead, crackling down.
Humph, are you scared?
He is no longer the unknown person he used to be.
Now he has the Gao family’s backing!
Wang Zhi raised the corners of his lips, feeling that he was a very mean person who had succeeded.
Sure enough, five minutes later, the producer sent a message.
[Producer Zhao]: "Congratulations! I didn't expect you to be engaged to Mr. Gao."
Below is a hotel location.
[Producer Zhao]: "Xiao Wang, I have to apologize to you for what happened before..."
The other party is typing again.
Wang Zhi was too lazy to read it and deleted the person directly.
Although it is said that one should not bully the poor young, middle-aged and old people, the words of this pimping bitch are no different from farts. If he had not been engaged to Gao Fengming, this old bitch would definitely continue to make things difficult for him even if she went bankrupt.
Wang Zhi felt refreshed after a breath of relief, but he was still a little hesitant.
If it is found out that the pile driver is really Gao Bochong, he may have to give up the Gao family.
Woohoo, if I leave Gao Fengming, where can I go to be with such a stupid guy?
Wang Zhi searched for the hotel online, but found that the hotel had been acquired by someone more than four months ago and was no longer open to the public.
A global hotel chain was acquired just like that? It happened exactly four months ago, and including the acquisition period in between, it was about half a year ago.
Wang Zhi silently hugged the little bear tightly.
Little Bear didn't know what he was thinking and remained silent. Wang Zhixiao asked in a low voice, "Is Gao Bochong really that rich?"
The answer is yes.
Gao Bochong is so rich that if he wants, he can monopolize hotels all over the world.
Wang Zhi fell back heavily on the bed, feeling a bit headache.
He suddenly didn't want to investigate further.
He is just a third-tier actor in the entertainment industry who wants to hook up with a rich man. Why does it have to be so complicated?
Even if Gao Bochong is the capital, I haven't touched his cake yet——
The six million yuan gift does not count.
Thinking of the six million, Wang Zhi felt a little better. This road was blocked, so he decided to try another one and send a message to Gao Fengming.
【Hexiu】: "Brother, are you asleep? [Kitten peeking out.gif]"
【Listen to the Wind】: "Not yet, I'm working overtime."
……What are you doing?
Wang Zhi was a little confused, but he didn't want to care about Gao Fengming, so he didn't ask any more questions.
【He Xiu】: "Haha, that's so hard!"
【He Xiu】: "Brother, can you give me your big brother's WeChat?"
【Listen to the wind】: “?”
【Listen to the Wind】: "What do you want this for?"
Gao Fengming didn't think about anything else, he just felt that Wang Zhi was very brave to take the initiative to add Gao Bocong's WeChat.
【He Xiu】: "Big brother gave me the gift from last time. >< It's very expensive. I want to add him as a friend and thank him again."
So that's why.
Although six million is a bit expensive as a gift, there is no need to be so cautious.
After all, he comes from a small family, and only someone like me who doesn't care about class and background can tolerate him.
Gao Fengming smiled slightly, feeling that he was really too considerate.
[Listen to the Wind]: "Only you think it's expensive. To me, it's nothing."
…
Why are you pretending!
I'm not working overtime.
Wang Zhi rolled his eyes.
[Hexiu]: "I'm ignorant [kitten crying.gif]"
【He Xiu】: "After all, this is the first time I've received such an expensive gift."
If you have the guts, give him a more expensive one!
Unfortunately, Gao Fengming didn't have the ability to do so, so he pushed Gao Bochong's WeChat message over and added, "Big Brother is busy with official duties, don't bother him all the time."
Wang Zhi got what he wanted, turned his face and refused to chat: "Okay. Then I'll go to sleep first, good night brother^^"
Wang Zhi just got the WeChat account, but he didn't dare to add anyone. He wanted to take a peek at Gao Bocong's circle of friends, but found that he couldn't see it because he had no friends.
Wang Zhi closed the phone angrily and stared at Gao Bocong's profile picture for a while. He accidentally fell asleep and the phone hit his face, waking him up in pain.
Wang Zhi: ...
I feel that Gao Bo Chong is good at conquering himself.
Wang Zhi switched to the web page and searched for Gao Bochong. He saw his date of birth on the encyclopedia, copied it to the AI software, and asked the AI to calculate whether he and Gao Bochong were incompatible.
The AI calculated that the two were a match made in heaven. Wang Zhi was a little shocked, and calculated his own and Gao Fengming's again. This time it was very accurate, saying that he and Gao Fengming were not destined to be together.
Fate or destiny, does that mean he and Gao Fengming will divorce after they get married? Gao Fengming is such a face-conscious person, so he shouldn't be stingy when dividing up his property, right?
By then, he will have money, a house, and no husband. Wouldn't he be able to live the life of a rich young man every day?
With beautiful fantasies about the future in mind, Wang Zhi finally stopped hesitating and clicked the send button for the friend request.
It was getting late, and Wang Zhi guessed that Gao Bochong would not pass immediately, so he lay down to sleep peacefully. After waking up the next day, he looked at his phone expectantly, but found that Gao Bochong still did not pass.
Wang Zhi looked at the time. It was already half past ten in the morning.
Isn't Gao Bochong busy with official duties? It's impossible for me to sleep in longer than him!
I saw the friend request but it was rejected...
Wang Zhi was furious: "How can there be such rude people!"
-
Atherton, San Francisco Bay Area.
As one of California's most expensive residential areas, Atherton's prime land is shaded by lush greenery. Looking down from the sky, the entire town is shrouded in dense shade, resembling a emerald gem. A luxurious estate in the heart of the area has been vacant since it was purchased for renovation 18 years ago. Until tonight, it finally regained its former glory.
Luxury cars drove into the park one after another, and helicopters landed on the tarmac in an orderly manner. The whirlwind blew the green grass, and every inch of land looked reserved and expensive.
Countless men and women in gorgeous clothes walked in hand in hand, and well-dressed waiters shuttled among them, providing the most thoughtful service. There were so many guests coming and going that the main house covering an area of nearly two acres showed a rare bustling atmosphere.
In the luxurious cigar room on the second underground floor, only four people were sitting in the spacious space.
The two people sitting in the guest seats, one with blond hair and blue eyes, had obvious Germanic features, and the other was of Chinese descent with black hair and dark eyes, speaking Chinese with a slight accent. "Thank you, Mr. Gao, for the invitation. This is my first time in Atherton."
Beside the main seat, Ning Quanwu laughed heartily, "Mr. Sun, you're being modest. Everyone knows that you two are the hottest upstarts in Silicon Valley right now. You can move in here just by selling two stocks."
Just as Sun Wangdong was about to speak, Bernhard next to him interrupted, "I don't think it's worth spending such a large sum of money on housing at the start-up stage."
Sun Wangdong stopped talking after hearing this. Ning Quanwu exchanged a subtle look with him, then said politely, "Mr. Miller is right. Come on, try some cigars."
Bernhard said, "I only smoke Cohiba."
Ning Quanwu had been a lawyer for so long, he'd seen all sorts of things. He didn't seem to be showing any emotion when hearing his pretentious words. He opened the bottle himself and handed it over. "Don't worry, Mr. Miller. I've learned about your habits in advance, and this box of Cohiba is for you."
Bernhard was finally satisfied. He waited for Ning Quanwu to cut his cigar, then began to puff away the smoke. He then asked Gao Bochong, "I heard that Mr. Gao's ancestors also came from a family of officials. He must understand that a man of taste only enjoys the best."
Gao Bochong, sitting at the head of the table, said calmly, "I'm extremely wary of anything that could be addictive."
Bernhard was a bit disappointed: "I sometimes wonder if you Chinese people never know how to enjoy life."
Gao Bochong smiled slightly: "We just enjoy it for a longer period of time, instead of just focusing on the present."
Bernhard didn't dare to be rude to Gao Bochong. Even though he disagreed, he didn't say much. However, he made a judgment in his heart.
It turns out that I don't get along with these Asians. It seems that this cooperation will end in failure.
After all, as a typical German, his first collaborator, even if not a German, should at least be a British or American.
Bernhard smoked two cigars and reluctantly stood up. Seeing Sun Wangdong didn't move, he felt a little puzzled. But Ning Quanwu had already enthusiastically offered to personally escort him out to enjoy the world of luxury. Bernhard was a newly rich man, born into capitalism but yet to experience its pleasures, and he couldn't wait to be exploited.
After sending him off, Ning Quanwu came back and turned up the power of the ventilation equipment first, then sat down and loosened his tie: "Damn, the white guy is really good at smoking."
Sun Wangdong smiled and said, "He is already considered an ascetic among foreigners."
Ning Quanwu said, "That's right. This isn't the kind of smoking you can do without abstaining from sex. Wangdong, you really should come back. If nothing else, just think about this foreign guy who lets you smoke secondhand smoke every day. He's really low-class!"
Sun Wangdong pondered for a long time, as if he had made up his mind: "Mr. Gao, Mr. Ning, let's be frank. Do the conditions you offered me before still count?"
Sun Wangdong studied computer science at Stanford University and has been deeply engaged in the field of artificial intelligence. After graduation, he caught up with the trend and co-founded a company with Bernhard Miller, gaining a foothold in Silicon Valley. However, Sun Wangdong could gradually feel that Miller wanted to kick him out of the game.
Ning Quanwu laughed, and Gao Bochong also smiled and said, "Mr. Sun, my promise always stands. The best legal team will help you get out of this situation, and a first-class R&D team has been deployed. The Gao family only invests and does not interfere in the operation of the company. If you want, you can be the sole dictator."
Gao Bochong has always been aloof, but as long as he wants to, he can make his listeners feel like they are in spring breeze, and they can't help but follow his thoughts and think about the conclusion.
Even though Sun Wangdong had already made up his mind, Gao Bochong's promise still made him feel emotional. "I've seen your 'Heavenly Questions'; it's beautiful, but still immature. Mr. Gao, I have the confidence to make it a first-rate game."
Tianwen is an artificial intelligence model developed under the leadership of Gao Bochong. Back when this field was still a blue ocean, Gao Bochong made a strong decision and invested a large amount of money in research and development. Now when everyone knows that this is a gold-digging holy land, Tianwen has been successfully launched into the market and the response is quite good.
But Gao Bochong, a perfectionist, remained dissatisfied and made a lavish investment in Silicon Valley to recruit talent. Now that his wish had come true, Ning Quanwu poured champagne, and the three of them clinked glasses, waiting to officially sign the contract.
For this moment, Gao Bochong invited nearly every prominent figure in the Bay Area to attend, simply to demonstrate his commitment to this project. After securing Sun Wangdong, Gao Bochong had to entertain the remaining guests.
When the banquet finally ended, the sky in the distance had already lit up a light fish belly color.
Ning Quanwu yawned, his tie tucked away somewhere, and asked Gao Bochong nonchalantly, "Do you think so highly of Sun Wangdong?"
Gao Bochong still had a solemn expression, not even the corner of his clothes was ruffled. If it weren't for the faint smell of alcohol on him, he would have looked like he had just walked out of a conference room. "He's a talent."
Ning Quanwu said, "Even if he's a talented person, is it worth making such a fuss?"
"If he and Bernhard part ways, he'd be lucky to get half the company's resources." Gao Bochong smiled slightly, a cold gleam between his teeth. At this moment, he suddenly took on a bandit-like aura. "And I want it all."
Ning Quanwu gasped.
Even though he knew Gao Bochong was greedy, he hadn't expected that Gao Bochong would leave Bernhard no chance of survival, intending to help Sun Wangdong seize all of the company's resources. Ultimately, these resources would only belong to Tianwen, which Gao had invested in and developed.
Ning Quanwu said bitterly, "If I had known Bernhard was useless, I wouldn't have opened a whole box of Cohiba!"
That's his personal collection!
Ning Quanwu was extremely sleepy. Seeing Gao Bochong actually walking towards the gym, he asked, "Where are you going?"
Gao Bochong waved his hand: "Morning exercise."
?
Ning persuaded Wu to remain silent.
There is a huge gap between people.
No wonder the theory of "superiority" is popular abroad, claiming that one percent of the world's people are born leaders, with physical fitness and IQ far exceeding that of ordinary people, and are destined to control and lead the remaining ninety-nine percent of ordinary people.
This theory is too biased, but it is very suitable for Gao Bochong.
Ning Quanwu was very skeptical that even if the Earth was destroyed, Gao Bochong would be able to move to another planet and continue to act tyrannically.
