No words were spoken that night.
The next day, the college entrance examination continued, but it was still calm and Xia Xu's exam went very smoothly.
On the other hand, on the Xinghai Venture Capital side, Chen Leyao, following Xia Xu's instructions, directly kicked Griffin Jones out, which caused some minor waves.
"Ms. Chen, don't you think you're going too far?"
Griffin Jones's angry voice almost penetrated Chen Leyao's general manager's office.
"Mr. Griffin, let's talk business. Although we appreciate the information you provided, since Xinghai Venture Capital has the ability to take over this project, there is no need to look for a partner."
Chen Leyao looked at him calmly: "And we just don't cooperate, we don't prohibit you from participating, and we don't have the ability to prohibit you from participating.
If Mr. Griffin is still interested in this, we can compete fairly. If you can get the equity of Tonghe Pharmaceutical, we don’t mind you taking a share.”
Griffin Jones stood in front of his desk, leaning forward with his hands on the table. He raised his hand and slapped the table hard, arguing: "I proposed the Tonghe Pharmaceutical project. I provided you with a comprehensive analysis report, but you left me and went it alone. Is this business?"
“First of all, I have not made any promise that Xinghai Venture Capital will agree to cooperate with you if you give me the report. Moreover, I do not think that the document alone can be used as a bargaining chip to support the cooperation of the entire project.
If Mr. Griffin really wrote down all the important news and inside information in it just as a stepping stone to impress our Xinghai Venture Capital, then I have to doubt whether your intelligence level is enough to participate in such a large-scale commercial project. I don't want you to easily leak confidential information one day."
Chen Leyao had a blank expression on her face and showed no sign of weakness.
Both sides spoke sharply, and there seemed to be a strong sense of anger in their voices.
But it was obvious that both sides were just acting.
The difference is that Griffin Jones is just acting by himself, while Leyao Chan knows that Griffin Jones is acting.
"Ms. Chen, you will regret this!"
The matter ended temporarily with Griffin Jones slamming the door and leaving after making some harsh remarks, and he vividly portrayed the image of a frustrated person who was squeezed out.
It was not until he left the office building where Xinghai Venture Capital was located, stood on the roadside, and looked out the window on the 18th floor, that his angry expression quickly calmed down, and in his calm expression turned into a barely detectable coldness.
"I had originally planned to lose the two million, but I didn't expect Xinghai Venture Capital to have such a big appetite."
Griffin Jones sneered: "But it's okay..."
Originally, he wanted to drag Xinghai Venture Capital into the water, and in order to have enough credibility, he was prepared to invest two million yuan. As a result, Xinghai Venture Capital did this to him, which was exactly what he wanted.
But having said that, the anger just now was not entirely a disguise.
No matter what his original purpose was, he was truly bullied by Xinghai Venture Capital this time, and there was a trace of real anger in his heart.
At this point he just told himself that there was no need to be angry about a company that was about to go bankrupt.
If Xinghai Venture Capital really wants to swallow Tonghe Pharmaceutical in one gulp and then fails miserably, it will definitely suffer serious consequences, and it will be a question whether it can continue to operate.
If he tries hard to get more funds during this period, maybe he will be able to swallow up Xinghai Venture Capital in the future. At the very least, he will be able to poach some talents to his own company.
…
Let’s not talk about the company’s affairs for now. Xia Xu successfully completed the comprehensive science and foreign language exams on the second day of the college entrance examination. The college entrance examination, a major event like a node in life, has finally come to an end.
However, after the exam, he did not deal with anything. He just kept his promise and took Tang Youxin to the amusement park where they had been last time to have a good time for the whole day.
There are at least two or three months left before going to university after the college entrance examination. There is no need to rush to do anything, and he still has to keep his promise.
"How was it, did you have fun today?"
After having fun until the evening, Xia Xu and Xiao Baihua went back home.
"I'm so happy! Especially after I finished the exam, I feel so relaxed."
The little white flower, who had been playing all day, was now very lively, with a flush on her little face caused by excitement that had not yet faded, just like her unsatisfied look.
"Can I ask for a reward?"
Xia Xu teased with a smile.
Click.
Perhaps because she had relaxed a lot after the wanton play, Tang Youxin was surprisingly silent this time. She looked around timidly like a thief, then quickly stood on tiptoe and launched another sneak attack.
The move was withdrawn immediately, and the person shyly trotted back into the alley.
"I'm so..."
Xia Xu felt like crying again but had no tears.
He had absolutely no hope this time, and he just said it casually, not expecting that the little white flower would actually sneak attack him, an 18-year-old comrade.
I somehow felt like I had lost another billion.
However, when he followed, he had just returned to the rental house next to Fangyuan Baozi Shop and sat down for a while when he heard the sound of quick footsteps coming up the stairs. Tang Youxin actually ran to him again wearing rabbit slippers.
"Could it be that he finally felt guilty? Did he realize that sneak attacks are immoral?"
Xia Xu was filled with relief and stood up to greet him.
Unfortunately, he was obviously overthinking it. The first thing Little White Flower said was, "Xia Xu, it seems we are really on the news."
"It's on the news, so what? Wasn't he just interviewed the day before yesterday?"
Xia Xu was poured with a bucket of cold water and became even more depressed.
I turned on the TV in the room which was basically used only for decoration. As expected, the evening news was reporting on the college entrance examination, but it was only the local TV station in Xingcheng that was broadcasting it.
At first Xia Xu didn't take it seriously, but when he turned on his phone the next day, the development of the matter caught him off guard.
It has become a trending topic.
The main reason is that the TV station was outrageous. Only a short edited clip was broadcast on TV. But after the news was broadcast, they probably thought that the interview with him was more effective for the show, so they actually posted the full version on their official Weibo.
As expected, many netizens started to make fun of him.
In that interview, the look of the young white-haired man who estimated his score in a single subject to be over 140 and thought he had failed, compared to the choked look of the female reporter, was really a good show effect. Many people joined in the fun and wanted to know whether they were really geniuses or just bragging.
Moreover, his previous joke about starting a company was also put on the video without any cuts. Although it did not attract too much malicious ridicule, it became a meme, especially the magical words "become a CEO, marry a beautiful and rich woman, and reach the peak of life" which became a hot word for a while.
Fortunately, the female reporter still had some conscience. She blurred the two of them in both the news and the video as he requested. People who were not very familiar with them would definitely not be able to recognize them, otherwise they would have become the new generation of Internet celebrities on the spot.
