Everyone praised Tang Zhongren, as if the big shots who would never have given him a second glance were now showing him approving smiles.
Tang Zhongren felt particularly good. This feeling of being affirmed by someone he looked up to made him feel as light as if he were walking on cotton.
The banquet atmosphere reached a climax, with laughter filling the room. President Chen was particularly happy and played the Piano Concerto No. 1 on the piano, winning a standing ovation.
Around 10 p.m., the banquet ended. President Chen and Su Yourong saw the guests off at the door. Tang Zhongren, slightly tipsy, grabbed President Chen's hand and said, "President Chen, in all my years, only you truly understand me."
"Go back and get some rest. Your life has just begun. Don't rush. You'll prove yourself someday." President Chen looked at him with a smile and said, "If I ever need anything, I hope President Tang can lend a hand. Keep your word."
"I will definitely keep my word. I'm a man of my word," Tang Zhongren said firmly.
Please give my regards to your father!
"OK!"
Tang Zhongren waved his hand and walked towards the car.
Su Yourong remarked from the side, "This young master Tang is indeed a man of character."
“His father is the same way.” President Chen watched Tang Zhongren leave and said, “Let’s go back too. Judging from today’s situation, there are no major problems. Even if Lu Feng has a big company backing him, I’m not afraid.”
“What big company could he possibly have behind him? In my opinion, yesterday’s drop was just caused by market panic.” Su Yourong analyzed, then looked at President Chen and said, “Several CEOs were staring at me with lecherous eyes tonight.”
"I have to learn to adapt; this is high society," Mr. Chen thought to himself. "They're staring at me with such lustful eyes."
The two got into the car and headed straight for the villa. After tonight, President Chen was finally relieved. She wasn't afraid of Lu Feng causing trouble again; what she feared most was being abandoned by the capital market.
As long as enough leverage is available, Lu Feng will be unable to move her in the slightest. After this incident, President Chen felt that he should discuss with the board of directors to change the rules. Otherwise, if the market value is low or if someone is watching her, it will be too easy for her to be manipulated.
It was almost late at night, but Mr. Feng was still awake. He called Zhenkun to the living room and asked, "How was Chen Shufeng's dinner party?"
“I heard the atmosphere was great. She called me back to ask about your health and said she knows a very good doctor in Germany who can help us get in touch if needed,” Zhenkun replied.
Is anyone helping her?
"Tonight we showed everyone Chen's Capital's financial statements from last year. The profitability was quite good, the overall operation was sound, and the returns on many investments were above average. President Shi continues to support us as always. He seems particularly infatuated with Chen Shufeng." Zhenkun asked, somewhat puzzled, "Although he's short and has an average appearance, he must have quite a few beautiful women around him, so how come..."
Mr. Feng laughed and explained, "Because he has never received it."
Zhenkun couldn't help but laugh. It's true what they say, what you can't have always seems more alluring, even to someone who's about to enter their coffin.
"Anything else?"
"Tang Zhongren's performance today was quite eye-catching. I heard he's going to support Chen Shufeng with 1 billion yuan. Everyone here praised him as a genius, which is quite a joke." Zhenkun said with a smile, as if the matter was very amusing.
"One billion? The entire Tang family only has about one billion." Mr. Feng stood up and waved his hand, saying, "He's just a playboy, nothing to be afraid of. Leave the rest to Lu Feng. I'm going to bed now."
"You should get some rest. If you feel unwell, just ring the bell. There's someone on duty at the infirmary tonight." Zhenkun helped him by the arm and led him outside.
The next morning, news of President Chen's private banquet "mysteriously" spread, all in paparazzi photos, showing a group of financial tycoons among the attendees.
The headline was even more direct: "President Chen throws a lavish banquet, inviting a hundred bigwigs to suppress Lu Feng."
At nine o'clock in the morning, Lu Feng finished his meal, returned to his room, turned on the radio, brewed himself a pot of tea, and leisurely reclined on the wicker chair.
Feng Zhiyao sat on the sofa looking a little bored. Lu Feng glanced at him and said, "Young man, calm down. What a wonderful time to rest. You'll realize how happy this time is when you get busy."
I picked up today's newspaper and started flipping through it. The radio was playing the excited voice of that man from yesterday.
"Hello, fellow investors. The market will open in less than ten minutes. Did you all see the newspapers this morning? Mr. Chen played this move well. He issued a statement before, and all sorts of big shots spoke up. Last night, he went even further, holding a banquet at his own estate, with Tang Zhongren being the least prominent guest."
"I reckon Tang Zhongren went in place of his father. Last night, while we were asleep, a major earthquake struck the financial world. The president of Emperor Financial, Mr. Henry, the president of Standard Chartered, the president of HSBC—what level are these people?"
"I can tell you this: a clown like Lu Feng doesn't even have the right to meet him. President Chen is clearly furious. She knows one thing well: if she continues to entangle with someone like him, she will lose regardless of whether she wins or loses."
"Think about it, if a tiger fights a wild dog, even if it wins, it only kills the wild dog. If it loses, it's even worse. Of course, how could a heroine like President Chen lose?"
"I heard that last year's financial statements were released last night, and the bigwigs all supported it. What does this mean? It sends a very strong signal that Mr. Chen is annoyed. Moreover, Chen's Capital's stock price of 40 yuan is relatively low, and now is definitely a good opportunity to buy at the bottom."
