Chapter 57
Speaking of the Chengyi Group, which has been gaining momentum in recent years, I believe that anyone who pays attention to financial news knows about it.
Because this company is a legend.
In just six years, it thrived in City B, a city with a mature business landscape, and even squeezed out a listed company with a very good reputation in the technology product market, monopolizing half of the domestic high-tech market.
In addition, Chengyi Group has also invested in and researched many high-tech business fields. It can be said that it is a growing but powerful enterprise with great future potential.
There are a lot of news about Chengyi that can be found online, but they are all about the company's latest developments and new product launches. Apart from that, everything about Chengyi Group is a mystery.
Especially on the few important occasions that required the president's attendance, Zhou Yue, the president's special assistant, was sent to make up the numbers.
Jiang Chengyi is just a name listed on Tianyancha, with no specific information about him.
He was lazy on one hand, but more importantly, the time he needed to become successful and famous was exactly the time when he suffered from temporary aphasia due to excessive pressure.
He had to go to the hospital every day to receive emotional counseling from a psychologist, receive medication, and handle important company documents. The little time he had left each day was all used by him to pretend to be a shemale in "Nine Provinces Dragon Roar" and call Pei Muyang "brother". That period was so dark that he was busy all the time.
But it hurts and I am happy.
What he didn't expect was that the white moonlight, whom he had thought was out of reach, was now by his side, standing shoulder to shoulder with him. He tilted his head slightly, looking at Jiang Chengyi with his eyes, and his smile was as warm as the morning light.
From the moment Jiang Chengyi and the other person got off the car, everyone online and offline let out a collective groundhog-like scream.
Yeah, mom!
What kind of divine appearance is this? What kind of top-notch configuration is this?
Why do all good-looking boys have boyfriends?
Can’t you spare one to save all living beings?
Countless girls were busy licking the screen while holding their broken hearts, while the two arsonists walked into the hotel hand in hand.
Pei Muyang actually had some personal feelings about the hand-in-hand setting. He thought it was really weird for two grown men to hold hands.
But Jiang Chengyi quietly pointed at a middle-aged, portly-looking tycoon who had just gotten off the car behind him, and saw him arm in arm with his female companion, a starlet who often appeared in TV dramas. He said, "Yangyang, it's not that I want to do this, but companions have to enter the venue arm in arm like this. It's the rule, and I can't do anything about it."
"Yeah?"
Pei Muyang turned his head and was about to observe whether the people around him were strictly abiding by this strange rule, but Jiang Chengyi forcibly turned his head back.
"Shh! Don't look at them. They have bad tempers and will really hit you if you provoke them. Be good!"
"Oh! All right then."
The sight flashed by so quickly that Jiang Chengyi didn't give the boy any time to react. After all, no matter how close the two people behind him were, they were still a man and a woman. It wouldn't be strange at all even if they hugged each other!
Pei Muyang really didn't react. He was afraid that he really didn't know the rules and would embarrass Jiang Chengyi and cause trouble, so he made up his mind and thought, just hold hands. It's a different era now. Foreigners kiss each other without saying anything. What's wrong with holding hands?
Can he be put into a pig cage?
Jiang Chengyi looked at Pei Muyang's fearless expression and turned his head away, suppressing the smile on his lips.
Why is his Yangyang so obedient and so easy to deceive? If that’s the case, then don’t blame him for being a bad person, right?
The banquet was held on the 24th floor, the top floor of the hotel. The spacious venue was filled with people toasting each other.
Everyone understands that this is not just a banquet, but also an arena for making connections. Sometimes success is the accumulation of opportunities bit by bit, and it will only come to those who are prepared. It is never a random choice, but a gift given after careful selection.
Those who have already succeeded understand the importance of this banquet better. With so many bigwigs gathered together, no one wants to waste this opportunity. The ever-changing business world makes everyone nervous. They seize the time to curry favor with the bigwigs present, hoping to have opportunities for cooperation in the future.
Jiang Chengyi, holding a glass of red wine, moved freely among the crowd and handled things with ease. He would chat with everyone who approached him, saying some ambiguous and seemingly plausible words.
At the time, those people felt grateful, as if they had been appreciated by President Jiang and were about to rise to the pinnacle of their lives. But after thinking about it carefully, they realized that Jiang Chengyi, the cunning fox, had not promised them any substantial benefits.
It was just a lonely chat.
As Jiang Chengyi's male companion, Pei Muyang naturally attracted everyone's attention. The boy's stunning appearance was refreshing even in the eyes of the bosses who were used to seeing beautiful women and handsome men.
They looked at the boy, wondering which wealthy family raised him as a young master. Standing next to Mr. Jiang, they were surprisingly well matched in appearance and temperament.
Everyone who could come here was a shrewd person. They knew that anyone recognized by Jiang Chengyi in such a public occasion must be of extraordinary status and was someone that President Jiang absolutely favored. So while they complimented Jiang Chengyi, they also showed friendliness and goodwill to Pei Muyang. Pei Muyang smiled and nodded repeatedly at those big guys he didn't know.
Only then did I realize that not everyone can maintain a fake smile. I didn’t realize it before, but after a long time, my face has become really stiff.
Pei Muyang took advantage of the fact that no one was around to quickly rub his face and relax his facial muscles. Seeing this, Jiang Chengyi asked with concern, "What's wrong, Yangyang?"
"Tsk! It's like I got slapped a dozen times in a row. My face is numb."
"Thank you for your hard work, Yangyang. If you don't like it, you don't have to smile at them."
Although Jiang Chengyi is not a top figure in the domestic pyramid, he is in a position of final say at this banquet. He is reluctant to let Pei Muyang suffer so much, and those people are even more unworthy.
What's more, Pei Muyang's smile is so beautiful.
Jiang Chengyi more or less felt that someone present was interested in Pei Muyang. Although he didn't dare to show it openly due to his identity, those disgusting gazes were still more or less focused on the boy.
Of course President Jiang was unhappy!
He is a profiteer, not a philanthropist. It is absolutely impossible to ask him to give up the person he likes so that everyone can improve their aesthetic taste.
In the past, Jiang Chengyi thought that Emperor Wu of Han's idea of keeping a beautiful woman in a golden house was absurd, but only in this matter did he sympathize with him.
Because he was so jealous that he wanted to hide Pei Muyang away and prevent anyone from coveting him.
He admitted that he was narrow-minded. It was obvious that he wanted to unilaterally declare his sovereignty in such an occasion at the beginning, even though the boy had no idea of his little thoughts at all.
He tricked the boy here and even tricked him into holding his hand, making everyone misunderstand that he and he were in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
But how can pursuing your wife be considered cheating?
He just used a few dishonorable little tricks, that's all.
Now seeing those eager eyes, Jiang Chengyi regretted it.
He shouldn't have exposed Pei Muyang to the public. That was his treasure, which he valued as his life. How could he leave it in front of the eyes of thieves with ulterior motives and let them spy on it openly?
Just when his patience reached its limit and he wanted to pull Pei Muyang away, a familiar voice sounded beside him.
"Hey, Mr. Jiang, long time no see. We haven't had the chance to meet since our last collaboration. I didn't expect to have the honor of seeing you again here."
"Mr. Chen."
Jiang Chengyi's eyes flickered slightly, hiding the displeasure in his eyes as he stretched out his hand and shook hands with the middle-aged man who greeted him.
"I'm very grateful for your support last time. I wanted to thank you in person, but I never had the chance. Today I finally get to do it. By the way, my son has always admired you, and I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce him to you. Eh? Where did that brat go?"
While the middle-aged man turned around to look for someone, Pei Muyang quietly pulled the corner of Jiang Chengyi's clothes, and when the man came over, he leaned over and whispered in his ear.
"I want to go to the bathroom." Pei Muyang sounded embarrassed when he spoke.
He had been holding it in for a long time. Although the alcohol content of the red wine was not high, Pei Muyang usually did not drink much, so these two glasses had already made him a little drunk. He wanted to go out for some fresh air and wash his face to sober up, so as not to get drunk and make mistakes, which would make him a laughing stock.
Jiang Chengyi also noticed that the boy was a little drunk, so he asked, "Let me go with you."
This hotel is not small. What if he gets lost? He is really worried.
"It's okay. I'm fine."
He was aware of his current condition. Although he was a little drunk, he was still conscious and didn't need anyone to accompany him. Moreover, there was someone in front of Jiang Chengyi. It would be very rude to leave rashly, so he refused without hesitation.
"Okay, then go quickly and come back quickly. Be careful." Jiang Chengyi rubbed the boy's head and reminded him.
If I had known earlier, I should have brought Zhou Yue here. At least Zhou Yue could be with him at this time, and he wouldn't be so worried.
But Pei Muyang obviously still didn't take it seriously. He nodded and agreed, "Okay, I understand."
He walked to the edge of the banquet hall, asked a waiter with a tray for directions to the bathroom, and then strode towards it.
The layout of this hotel is quite simple and clear, so it is not difficult to find.
Pei Muyang washed his face and stood in front of the sink, looking at himself in the mirror. Well, even when he was drunk, he was still handsome.
Except for Jiang Chengyi who could barely tie with him, the others here were no match at all.
Just when he felt he was almost sober and was about to go back, he heard a person who had just come in exclaim when he saw him.
"Pei Muyang? Why are you here too?"
