Chapter 3: Calling Cheng Jia In
"......"
Three seconds passed after Cheng Jia finished speaking.
The man on the sofa remained silent, ignoring Cheng Jia.
It's obvious they treat him like he's invisible.
Secretary Chen Bin stepped in to smooth things over: "Xiao Cheng, you're not involved anymore, you go about your business. I'll keep you company and make sure President Shi has a good time."
"Okay, I'll be right outside the door." Cheng Jia felt a little relieved.
He took two steps back before turning and leaving.
His figure, clad in a dark green shirt, was thin and lean, with a well-proportioned and slender build. From behind, there was no trace of time. Even at 24, he looked no different from the enthusiastic young man who had been running around the university with allergy medication in hand just a few years ago.
The pace was just too fast.
They disappeared in the blink of an eye at the door of the private room.
It's out of sight.
"Mr. Shi, you..." Chen Bin raised his glass, about to offer a toast, when he met a pair of cold eyes. It was the man who had turned around at some point.
Chen Bin was startled by the glare.
He hurriedly reflected on where he had said something wrong.
But no, he didn't say anything just now.
hiss.
This person's thoughts are really hard to fathom.
The girl next to him, who was drinking with him, handed Chen Bin some fruit as a distraction.
Taking the opportunity, Chen Bin put down his wine glass, accepted the fruit, and hesitated to offer another toast for a long time. However, he was still thinking about the task that Chairman Zhou had assigned to him.
That is—
The government-funded project to develop 'Jingang New City' is a beneficial initiative.
The initial investment for this project is 3.5 billion yuan, and the subsequent investment is still unpredictable. With the city's economy growing too fast in recent years, it is difficult for mining companies like Jingang, which made their fortunes halfway through, to withstand the risks of sudden changes.
A powerful and insightful leader with a solid foundation is needed to oversee the situation.
And the selection of this powerful leader...
The young man beside him was the choice that his father, Mr. Zhou, had considered for half a year.
He looks to be only in his early twenties, making it hard to connect him with the ruthless character in financial news who single-handedly saved his family business at the age of nineteen.
Five years ago, that macro-level sniping battle was hailed as a divine skill.
With his astute investment acumen, Shi Qingci turned ordinary goods into gold, creating an unprecedented miracle that shocked the world.
And now, Chen Bin is sitting next to the rumored CEO Shi.
He was under considerable pressure.
The tacky entertainment we usually provide for nouveau riche, like karaoke, bathhouses, foot massages, and spas, I wonder if it will work in this situation.
Logically speaking, a young man of this age should not be indifferent to the female companion beside him.
But he observed quietly that this Mr. Shi didn't even spare a glance for the girl named Feifei, and occasionally seemed impatient sitting there, turning his head to look outside the door.
Are you looking out the door because you want to leave?
Do you think their arrangements and hospitality are inadequate?
That won't do!
Chen Bin couldn't help but remind Fei Fei: "Little girl, feed President Shi some fruit, what are you doing sitting there like that?"
"..." Fei Fei was stunned for a moment.
It wasn't that she didn't know how to serve him, but rather that when she cautiously asked if he wanted some fruit, this young and extremely handsome man completely ignored her.
Manager Cheng gave instructions before we entered the private room.
If this important person doesn't speak....
Just let her sit quietly.
Don't meddle.
Chen Bin got impatient and glared at the ignorant girl.
"!"
The inexperienced concubine was startled by the glare.
She lost her composure, picked up a piece of mango, and leaned towards the elegant man, holding the mango an inch from his lips, almost touching them.
"Boss, please try it—ah!"
Before she could finish speaking, a dark shadow flashed before her eyes, and someone pushed her shoulder with a cushion, causing her body to tilt and her high heels to become crooked.
He slid off the sofa with a thud and fell to the floor.
It didn't hurt at that height, but it was scary.
Feifei covered her mouth and tears immediately fell.
Chen Bin was also startled: "Oh dear, what happened? Mr. Shi, are you alright?"
"President Shi?" People around turned to look.
"......"
The lights, the smell of alcohol, and the heavy smell of cigarettes.
The man and woman were laughing and hugging each other, and there was also the mango allergen that he hated so much.
Shi Qingci disliked this smoky and polluted environment.
The veins on his forehead throbbed. Since Cheng Jia was pretending not to know him, there was no need for him to wait any longer.
Head straight to the target and begin the first round of retaliation.
Amid Chen Bin's anxious concern, he sternly ordered, "Bring Cheng Jia in."
Upon receiving news that Cheng Jia had appeared, I flew to Jingang City immediately.
This was all in order to get back at Cheng Jia.
There are accounts to be settled.
"Uh, Cheng Jia?" Chen Bin hadn't reacted yet, thinking that it would be the same to talk to him about any problems, since his position and power were much greater than Cheng Jia's.
"......"
Shi Qingci just thought these people were stupid.
Taking a deep breath, he coldly glanced at Chen Bin: "Why didn't Cheng Jia mention this to you? He and I were classmates in college and have a very close relationship."
"!?"
Chen Bin stood up and walked out.
This...this—
Why didn't Cheng Jia say so earlier!
I worked in beverage marketing at Jinhe for two years and never mentioned knowing such a person. He didn't even know how to curry favor with such a powerful figure.
This person is supposed to be in marketing, but what kind of marketing is he doing?
"......"
Ten seconds later.
With bubble gum in her mouth, Cheng Jia was dragged in front of Shi Qingci with a bewildered look on her face.
Spitting out the bubble gum is one thing, not spitting it out is another.
The entire private room fell silent; no one dared to speak, and all the lights were turned on.
Everyone looked at the young man who had been dragged in by Chen Bin.
The atmosphere was extremely strange.
Cheng Jia gathered the chewing gum to the side of her tongue and swallowed: "...Mr. Shi, is there something you need?"
He stood upright with his hands clasped in front of him.
They look very innocent.
I just thought to myself—
Well, what was bound to happen has happened.
Make your move.
