"Hello, cousin, it's me. Do you remember when I told you that I wanted to introduce you to a big boss?"
When Chen Leyao answered the phone, she heard her cousin's voice.
"What do you mean by introducing a big boss, you little brat? Are you sent by your aunt to urge marriage or do you want me to be your mistress?"
Upon hearing the words from her unreliable cousin, Chen Leyao scolded him with a reproachful smile.
When facing her familiar relatives, her face naturally lost the coldness and seriousness just now. The intimate and angry tone of her voice and the charming demeanor that she inadvertently revealed stunned countless people.
"Hey, it's my fault, my fault. The wording was not precise enough."
The cousin's voice came from the phone, smiling and apologizing, and then he said, "Anyway, it's about this matter. Boss Xia happens to be free today. Can you come and see him?"
"Okay, brother, I still have to give you face, and I am indeed a little interested in that big boss you praised to the sky..."
Chen Leyao said this with a chuckle as she glanced at Griffin Jones with a playful look in her eyes.
Her cousin was spotted by a venture capital company a while ago, and with the investment, he set up a gaming company, which became an instant success in the gaming industry and is now considered successful.
The big boss he wanted to introduce was naturally his previous investor.
And this investor is none other than the owner of Xinghai Venture Capital, the investment company that Griffin Jones just mentioned.
This confident speaker was just using Xinghai Venture Capital as an example to make some big promises, but the real owner came to him right away. It's such a coincidence that it makes people laugh.
You are bragging about being comparable to Xinghai Venture Capital, but even if you are telling the truth, as a latecomer you are much inferior.
It is normal to brag in private, and comparing yourself to a celebrity to show how great you are is a very common way. But if you happen to run into or even compete with the real person, it would be embarrassing and ridiculous.
Besides, can Griffin Jones really do it
It is most likely just an exaggeration. If an investment miracle is so easy to replicate, it does not deserve to be called an investment miracle.
The fact that he has to use this method to elevate himself just proves that he has no more substantial "achievements".
"I'm sorry, Mr. Griffin, my family invited me to dinner, so I can't continue discussing this with you for now. I will pay close attention to Tianshen Investment."
After asking her cousin for the location, Chen Leyao hung up the phone and said goodbye decisively with a slightly apologetic look on her face.
"It's okay. I understand. Family is always the most important thing. Please go ahead, Ms. Chen."
Griffin Jones looked unhappy, but he still pretended to be a gentleman and said regretfully: "But what I said just now is indeed not bragging, and I will prove it next. I hope Ms. Chen can leave your contact information. If there is a chance, how about we talk next time?"
Although he didn't hear the person talking on the other end of the phone, he heard everything Chen Leyao said clearly.
This is not as simple as having a meal with family, but also introducing the 'big boss'. Whether it is the 'boss' in the emotional sense or in the literal sense, it is obviously not a comfortable news for him.
But what can he do? He has no position to stop it. If he continues to pester her and say something at this time, it will only cause bad feelings. It is better to leave a good first impression.
"All right."
Out of apology and not wanting to offend anyone, Chen Leyao finally did not refuse. She left her work number and dragged her suitcase out of the airport.
Watching Chen Leyao get into a taxi, Griffin Jones took a deep breath and suppressed the feeling in his heart that seemed very similar to the time when his girlfriend put a hat on him before.
…
It was obvious that Chen Leyao's cousin was Hong Bo, and there was no need to say more about the 'big boss' to be introduced.
Just over half an hour ago, Xia Xu asked Hong Bo if his cousin was pretty, and Hong Bo replied: "It's not a question of whether my cousin is pretty or not, but a question of which woman can be prettier than her, and which man can stay calm in front of her..."
Xia Xu scoffed at this at first.
Which woman is more beautiful than her
No matter how beautiful it is, is it more beautiful than my little white flower? Five-star stunning beauty, property check gold finger professional certification!
But now... Xia Xu began to believe it a little.
Because he was actually at the airport, the taxi that Chen Leyao took was the one he and Hong Bo called.
After seeing Chen Leyao's appearance, Xia Xu had to admit that cousin Hong Bo really had the potential to compete with Xiao Baihua.
It’s not to say that they are better, but at least they are equally good and each has its own merits.
Both of them are absolutely beautiful, but their styles of beauty are different. One is as pure as a white flower, which makes people feel pity for her, while the other is as charming as a bewitching flower, which makes it difficult to compare and judge them.
Of course, he is not an LSP, and he definitely prefers pure little white flowers.
And when it comes to arousing desire, the little white flower is actually better than Chen Leyao's natural and pure charm.
He had been tormented by the little white flower all day long, and his heart was tormented by cruelty and pity. After such a long time, he had become a little accustomed to it, and he looked at Chen Leyao mostly with admiration.
In the taxi, because Hong Bo sat in the passenger seat, Chen Leyao, who had put away her suitcase, had to sit in the back seat with Xia Xu. She frowned at first, but soon showed a little surprise because of this.
But what surprised him even more was Xia Xu's appearance.
"Are you the boss of Xinghai Venture Capital?"
Chen Leyao looked at Xia Xu with a strange expression.
Xia Xu was dressed more formally today, and his tall and strong physique was very deceptive, but this could not be hidden from her.
This face is obviously childish. Judging from her vision and intuition, the boy is definitely no older than eighteen. He may still be in high school, or at most a freshman.
“If there wasn’t another VC firm with the same name that invested in your cousin, it would have been me.”
Xia Xu smiled.
"Sorry, I don't mean to question it, I'm just... a little surprised."
Chen Leyao apologized.
In fact, when she was abroad, she was quite interested in Xinghai Venture Capital and its boss behind the scenes. After all, the investment in Feizhou Studio was indeed a rare investment miracle, not to mention that the investor was her cousin.
Although she had been far away abroad before, Hongbo had been very proud and high-spirited recently. She had heard so many flatteries and comparisons from her relatives at home that her ears were callused. Moreover, the person mentioned most by this cousin was the mysterious Mr. Xia, the boss of Xinghai Venture Capital.
But she never expected that this mysterious boss, investment genius, Mr. Xia, might actually be a high school student
"No need to apologize, this is normal. If a cheeky little brat stood in front of me and talked about business investment, I guarantee I would be shocked."
Xia Xu shook his head and smiled.
While speaking, he was actually looking at Chen Leyao's attributes, but he didn't rush to look at her talents or anything like that. Instead, he fixed his eyes on her fate and potential.
Just now when Chen Leyao was leaving the airport, he actually secretly glanced at Griffin Jones, who followed her unwillingly, through the car window covered with black film. At this time, Chen Leyao's fate added to part of the plot.
Generally speaking, it is a plot about opening a venture capital company step by step. It mainly describes how Griffin Jones persuaded Chen Leyao to work for his Tianshen Investment Company which was still under registration, and then formally established the company.
Due to the lack of relevant characters and the timing, the plot did not extend to the business plot that he would like to see and pick up leaks. However, the names of several characters were mentioned, probably the employees that Griffin Jones wanted to poach later.
Chen Leyao plays the role of a real manager and executor here.
After all, Griffin Jones was just an ordinary little Luther before he obtained the super brain potion. He could learn things from books, but he could not learn various empirical things and the rules and regulations of the human world that were not written in books.
As for whether she is the heroine, Xia Xu has no way of confirming it due to the short plot. Judging from the current plot, Chen Leyao actually plays the role of an employee who does her job impartially.
Perhaps the original plot was to make her the elusive white moonlight, and then follow the American customary shit-feeding routine to let the ex-girlfriend wearing the hat return to his arms and they could let go of their grudges and reconcile with each other. After all, there are huge differences in Eastern and Western concepts.
At the very least, the fact that Chen Leyao returned to China to work as soon as she completed her studies instead of staying in the United States, which has a better foundation and network of relationships and is obviously more suitable for development, proves that she is not the kind of person who worships foreign things and has strong abilities. It is impossible for her to treat Griffin Jones differently because of economic and identity reasons.
In fact, there is no point in getting entangled in these things. Anyway, with his involvement, the original plot of "Super Brain" has been completely changed. Griffin Jones is now at most a treasure hunter.
