I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World

Chapter 229: Dinner for the elite

Views:

After saying goodbye to Sun Jiao, Jiang Chen returned to the present world.

It was almost eight o'clock. Thinking of the agreement he made with Ayesha last night, a smile appeared on Jiang Chen's face.

After preparing breakfast and putting it in the microwave, Jiang Chen went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then walked into Ayesha's room with a smirk.

By the time the two came out of the room, it was already past ten o'clock.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have prepared breakfast. It's almost lunch." Jiang Chen said helplessly as he took out a plate with bread and poached eggs from the microwave.

"It's okay, put it in the refrigerator and eat the same thing tomorrow." There was still a little flush on her cheeks, and Ayesha said softly as she took the plate from Jiang Chen's hand.

Putting the plate in the refrigerator, Ayesha deftly took out the ingredients for lunch.

She put on her apron and started preparing lunch.

Looking at Ayesha's profile wearing an apron, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a little crazy.

The long, slightly curly brown hair exudes a pale golden brilliance in the sunlight. Underneath this is a gentle and quiet pretty face, with the elegant apron, giving her the warmth of a newlywed wife.

If the figure were not so petite, the remaining sense of incongruity would be gone.

"Huh? What's the matter?" As if noticing Jiang Chen's gaze, Ayesha tilted her head slightly and looked over.

"Uh, it's nothing, I just think you are beautiful." Jiang Chen scratched his cheek and said.

With a slight blush on her pretty face, Ayesha lowered her head shyly and silently cut the beef.

Lunch is beef stew, borscht and rice, which feels like a combination of Chinese and Western.

By the time the two of them finished lunch together, it was already 12 o'clock. After putting away the dishes, Ayesha went to the gym as usual, preparing to complete today's virtual reality training content. Jiang Chen sat on the sofa and rested for a while before going out and driving to the city center.

He was going to attend the Wanghai City Business Forum in the evening. Jiang Chen, who had never been confident in his own taste, wisely left the task of taking care of his image to professionals. Although the important thing is the connotation, you can’t let people look down on you, right

He let a pair of cold and soft hands play with his face and hair for a long time. Jiang Chensheng walked out of a high-end styling design center refreshed. Although her hair is still short, it feels much more stylish.

Then he went to the mall to pick out some formal clothes that could fit on the table. Although I don’t know which brand of clothes to wear to look cheap when attending a party, but at this time, I’m sure I’m right to choose the most expensive one!

Throw a load of clothes worth tens of thousands of dollars onto the checkout counter. Jiang Chen swiped the card without blinking in front of the cashier whose eyes had turned into little stars.

By the time all this was done, it was almost past three o'clock.

Seeing that there was still some time left, Jiang Chen, who had nothing to do, walked into a Starbucks and ordered a cup of coffee. Then I sat in the coffee shop and played with my phone.

When it was almost five o'clock, he drove to the venue of the party, Linhua Hotel.

... ..

The magnificent building has a sense of luxury just by looking at it. Marble and red bricks are the main styles, which combines square modern simplicity and grand classical beauty.

Lin Hua Hotel—this is written in several large characters decorated with neon lights.

The parking lot has almost become a concentration camp for luxury cars. He actually saw no less than two or three cars like Lamborghini and Rolls-Royce. So much so that his Maybach S600 has no feeling at all when parked in it.

After parking the car in an empty parking space, Jiang Chen was welcomed by the waiter and arrived in front of the hotel. After showing the invitation, he entered with the well-dressed elites.

Although it is a high-level banquet. But after all, it was only local in nature. Jiang Chen didn't see any familiar big shots at the venue. Most of the people looked unfamiliar, and almost no one he could name.

However, he did not feel contempt in his heart because of this. Not showing up in the media doesn't mean you don't have that strength. Sometimes the more low-key a person is, the more terrifying their strength is.

When entering the venue, he obviously noticed that many people were looking at him.

Jiang Chen didn't appear too nervous about this. After all, this wasn't his first time attending a party of this size. While in Sanya, he attended a birthday dinner hosted by a hospitable Arab prince for his princess. Although compared with this business forum, the birthday dinner was more personal in nature. The atmosphere is also very relaxed, but the process is actually the same.

After the host read various emcee-like speeches, the business elites naturally gathered into small circles to communicate and chat with people they were interested in.

Because I'm not very good at this kind of thing. Jiang Chen consciously chose a secluded spot at the edge of the hall and tasted the delicious food.

Although he originally considered taking this opportunity to meet some business friends when he came here, when he actually arrived here, he was at a loss as to where to start. Most of the people who are active here are not participating in this kind of thing for the first time, and they are more or less familiar with the people in the circle. It is undoubtedly difficult for a newcomer like Xiang Jiangchen to integrate into this circle.

However, he obviously underestimated his weight in the Internet field. Who would leave such a piece of delicious food aside

The profitability of Futureman Technology is indeed enviable, but how many people who can attend such a banquet are short-sighted? If you are jealous, just cooperate. Estrangement because of jealousy is something only people in the market would do.

No, not long after he sat at the edge of the hall, a middle-aged man with a slightly bald forehead sat next to him with a smile.

"Mr. Jiang is young and promising, but he is unassuming in his behavior. This is really rare at this age. I, a person born in the 1970s, can't help but admire him."

"Where?" Although he was proud, Jiang Chen declined with a humble smile, and then asked, "Who are you?"

Although he looked familiar, Jiang Chen couldn't remember where he had seen him.

"I, Zhou Hongwei." Zhou Hongwei smiled and cupped his hands.

It turned out to be Zhou Hongwei, the chairman of 361 Company? This actually made Jiang Chen a little surprised.

"It's really disrespectful that it's Mr. Zhou." He didn't even recognize his strategic partner, which was really embarrassing.

Due to the launch of social platforms, communication software such as Future Technology and Penguin are naturally on opposite sides. In particular, the impact of Futureman 1.0 on WeChat has led to a sharp decline in the installed base of WeChat, which naturally does not make Penguin happy. As a result, Futureman Technology was removed from various Penguin channels, but this had little effect on Futureman Technology, which had already occupied the user base.

The opponent's opponent is naturally a friend, especially when 361 Company showed its favor to Jiang Chen in the Lingyu Technology incident, Futureman Technology naturally came together with 361 Company. The two parties use Chenfeng Entertainment, a jointly held subsidiary, as a platform to cooperate very closely in the field of mobile games. The main development direction is small capacity and development cycle.

Mid- to low-end mobile games. 361 is the main research and development company and Future People Technology is the main channel. It can be said that now is the honeymoon period of cooperation between the two parties.

"It's okay. I'm an old man in his forties, and I have a popular face. I guess not many people will remember it even if I'm on CTV." Zhou Hongwei teased himself humorously and solved the problem very cleverly. After feeling the embarrassment, he naturally started chatting with Jiang Chen.

The two Internet giants sat together, which naturally attracted many people from the "same circle" to join their conversation. Unknowingly, Jiang Chen was surprised to find that the remote location he had chosen had become the center of the venue

In fact, Jiang Chen still regarded this business forum as too mysterious. If you think about it carefully, there are only a few hundred companies in China with a market value of tens of billions. This was just the Wanghai City Business Forum. Although there was a threshold for participating in such a party, it was not as high as he imagined.

It can be said that in the entire venue, he and Zhou Hongwei can be said to be the ones standing at the top of the pyramid. On the other hand, Zhou Hongwei’s shareholding ratio in 361 is only 14%, while Jiang Chen’s shareholding ratio in Futureman Technology has reached a terrifying 99%. From this perspective, although it is also a large company with a market value of tens of billions, Jiang Chen's "value" exceeds Zhou Hongwei's by a lot.

Apart from big guys like them, the rest are mostly chairman of midstream companies with good profitability and good development prospects. There may be assets of two to three billion or more than one billion, but there is still a gap compared to Jiang Chen.

As a result, there were many people who tried various ways to have a relationship with him. Especially since he is still single, many big bosses who happen to have daughters, regardless of whether their daughters are friends or not, directly talk about matchmaking with Jiang Chen in a familiar manner.

"Haha, Mr. Jiang is twenty-two this year, and my little princess happens to be twenty-one. I wonder if Mr. Jiang is interested in getting to know her?"

"As expected of a man who has been featured in the Wall Street Journal twice, Mr. Jiang is indeed a talented person who has made face for our countrymen!"

"I wonder if Mr. Jiang is interested in cooperating? Our company has recently designed a 020 model takeout software. With the traffic of Future People 1.0, we can definitely... "

Those who build relationships, those who simply flatter, those who talk about cooperation.

To be honest, watching these rich people regard themselves as the center of the circle, this kind of satisfaction is really not the least bit satisfying. Jiang Chen naturally responded to everyone's overtures with a smile and listened to every intention of cooperation.

As for those matchmakers, Jiang Chen selectively ignored them.

In this relaxed atmosphere, halfway through the party, just when Jiang Chen turned off his chatter and started to eat, a familiar voice floated to his ears.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang, we meet again." (.)
