Lu Zheng knew that the real show was about to begin.
Stepping onto the stage, Li Jingxuan took the microphone and delivered a brilliant opening speech.
However, this opening speech was all nonsense, about working together and witnessing the future, or praising some big shots. Lu Zheng had no interest in listening to it at all.
Mingxiang, on the other hand, was all smiles as she watched Li Jingxuan perform on stage.
Lu Zheng looked at Ming Xiang curiously: "You seem to really enjoy listening to his speech?"
"What? Are you jealous?" Mingxiang smiled mischievously.
Lu Zheng coughed.
Mingxiang continued, "It's not that. It's because I heard so much nonsense from his speeches and how much of it I found disgusting. So, when I'm in a meeting or giving a speech, I try to reduce the amount of useless stuff."
Lu Zheng laughed and said, "Others learn in a positive direction, but you learn in a positive direction from a negative one. That's impressive."
Mingxiang rolled her eyes at him.
To be honest, the two of them really did seem to be flirting; at least to outsiders, they looked like a clingy couple.
Jiang Li'er, standing to the side, was burning with anger.
How glamorous she should have been today?
When those bosses recognized her, she felt like she was the center of the world, like she was standing on top of the world.
But to her utter surprise, Lu Zheng shattered all her illusions.
It turned her from the center of attention into a clown.
She knew, of course, that a media storm awaited her after she left today.
She could clearly see all of this, but she was powerless to stop it, and that was what caused her the most pain.
The only thing she could be thankful for was that her company wasn't publicly listed yet. Once it was, a storm like this could cause her stock to plummet. She couldn't even imagine how fast it would evaporate; she could go from a multi-millionaire to a beggar on the street overnight.
"Lu Zheng, just you wait, after tonight I will never let you go."
At this moment, Li Jingxuan on the stage got to the point and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, my Li Group originally wanted to cooperate with Miss Ming Xiang, but given the Ming Group's vision, I have decided to give up on the Ming Group."
boom!
The crowd erupted in uproar.
"What? That means there's going to be a free seat today?"
"Hey, the Ming Group missed a chance for a powerful alliance. I wonder who will benefit this time."
"In my opinion, most of it is investment in the Jiang Group."
"Yes, I think so too."
"Lighting technician, please shine the lights on Miss Ming and Lu Zheng first. I need to explain to everyone why!"
Snap!
All the other lights in the hall were turned off, leaving only two spotlights shining on Lu Zheng and Ming Xiang, highlighting them.
Li Jingxuan deliberately made them look foolish.
Anyone with a normal mind could see that.
The reporters, of course, continued to take photos in order to get a chance to make the headlines.
Once the light shone on him, he spoke up, "Miss Ming, Mr. Lu, I hope you two don't mind me like this?"
He's openly setting a trap for Lu Zheng and his group.
Whether it's Lu Zheng or Ming Xiang, if either of them says they mind, Li Jingxuan will immediately add, "It's no use minding anyway."
If he says he doesn't mind, that's fine, because if Lu Zheng doesn't mind, it means he's a coward.
That would cause everyone to burst into laughter.
They both really embarrassed themselves.
Li Jingxuan was also constantly adjusting his strategies.
According to his initial plan, he actually intended to use Jiang Lier to bring out Lu Zheng's sycophantic behavior, then use that to humiliate the two of them first, and then force Lu Zheng to withdraw under the pretext of cooperating with Ming Xiang.
At that point, wouldn't Mingxiang be led by the nose by him?
However, due to Lu Zheng's prior preparations, Jiang Li'er's move was rendered ineffective from the start.
So his tactics changed accordingly, becoming what they are now.
The surrounding crowd was all waiting to see Lu Zheng and his group make a fool of themselves.
Ming Xiang and Lu Zheng exchanged a glance, just like when they had just entered the banquet hall and been humiliated by Jiang Li'er. Their expressions remained unchanged, without the slightest alteration.
Lu Zheng then said with a smile, "I don't mind."
The two of them came prepared.
Li Jingxuan's heart sank.
Shouldn't Lu Zheng have had a dark expression when he said he didn't mind?
According to his guess, that should be the case.
But he quickly regained his composure and said, "It's good that you don't mind. Then I'll say it. It's because Lu Zheng is a fraud. He opened an empty research lab just to swindle money, and Ming Xiang even provided him with 100 million yuan in financing! With such poor judgment, wouldn't cooperating with him be a losing proposition?"
Really?
"My God, one hundred million? What kind of skills does this man have? How could he get President Ming to invest one hundred million? Give me a whole bunch of these scams!!!"
"That's right, that's exactly what we were saying!"
Jiang Li'er, who had been holding back her anger, immediately seized the opportunity to interject upon hearing this, and said sharply, "Yes! I can prove that!"
Both Li Jingxuan and Jiang Lier thought that her shout would resonate with others.
However, everyone only glanced at her; her words did not elicit any response.
She never expected this to happen, and in an instant, she became a laughingstock in everyone's eyes, like a clown.
After all, her affair had only just been exposed to everyone. Even if a significant portion of these people were Li Jingxuan's men, and even if Li Jingxuan had just stepped in to help her resolve these matters.
But who can lie to their subconscious and say that Jiang Li'er did the right thing? Isn't that nonsense?
Now she suddenly says she wants to prove Lu Zheng is a liar...
Isn't she just contradicting herself?
Lu Zheng clicked his tongue in amazement: "You're really awesome!"
Mingxiang also said, "You're disgusting! You prove it, see who believes you. Even if any one of these bosses stands up and says that Lu Zheng is indeed a fraudster, you don't have the right to say it."
Jiang Li'er's face turned pale after being rebuked.
Li Jingxuan secretly cursed this woman as a good-for-nothing.
The purpose of calling him over was to humiliate Lu Zheng, not to have her here as a stumbling block for him.
"Cough cough!"
Li Jingxuan coughed deliberately: "Whether her proof is useful or not is not important. What is important is whether my investigation is important or not. Miss Mingxiang, you said that Lu Zheng is not a fraudster, right?"
Mingxiang pouted: "So what if he is? I'm willing to believe him!"
"Oh, I see. I heard you're researching apps and planning to start an internet company. It's been several days now. I wonder if you have any project proposals or software that you've developed? If so, why not share it with everyone? Show it to us!"
Lu Zheng curled his lip: "Are you worthy?"
