Chapter 228 - 228 Hello, Meeting The Director Of The Investment Corporation!
228 Hello, Meeting The Director Of The Investment Corporation!
“Drop me off?” The boy was a little confused.
He had heard that this was the first time Luo Feng and Ai Tingya had come to Shanghai. If someone were to fetch them, they should be their relatives and friends. The boy felt that it was not good to trouble them like this the first time they met.
“It’s fine. Let’s go outside together.” Luo Feng did not find it troublesome.
The boy followed him in a daze. From afar, he saw a Rolls-Royce luxury car parked outside the exit. Even though he could see all kinds of luxury cars at the airport, the Rolls-Royce still attracted many people to stop and watch.
A man in a suit wearing sunglasses was leaning against the car door and playing with his phone. Sensing someone approaching, the man in a suit took off his sunglasses and looked at Luo Feng. He said in surprise, “May I ask if you’re Chairman Luo of Gather Sift Takeaway?”
“That’s me.” Luo Feng nodded neither servile nor overbearing.
“Hello, I’m Ji Yang from the Zishan Company. Welcome to Shanghai, Chairman Luo.” Ji Yang extended his hand and shook Luo Feng’s hand warmly. “Chairman Luo, do you think we should go to the company first or send you to the hotel first?”
Luo Feng said, “I have a friend here. Can we send him to his school first?”
“Of course!” Ji Yang said readily. “It’s a small matter!”
The boy did not dare to move and did not know what to do.
“Let’s go,” Luo Feng reminded, realizing that the boy was stunned on the spot.
Luo Feng casually prepared to help him put his luggage in the car. Seeing this, Ji Yang hurriedly rushed to put his things in. He was already in his twenties, but this was the first time someone had helped him put his luggage in.
He followed Luo Feng into the Rolls-Royce in a daze, enjoying the surprised gazes of the passersby. His mind was enveloped in an unreal fog, and he had yet to react.
The boy was like a stone statue. His muscles were tense, and his hands were holding the seat belt, not daring to move.
He looked at Luo Feng, who looked back at him. The two of them were speechless.
A moment later, the boy swallowed. “You… weren’t bragging…”
Luo Feng did not take it to heart at all. He shrugged and revealed a relaxed smile.
A smile that was uglier than crying appeared on the boy’s face. His mind replayed rapidly. Did he say something wrong on the plane just now? He seemed to have said that he wanted to learn the secret of Luo Feng’s confident bragging ability while chasing after his goddess?
He seemed to have compared his goddess to the girl beside Luo Feng. Even though Ai Tingya looked better, subjectively speaking, the boy felt that his goddess was cuter…
For Luo Feng to be able to woo Ai Tingya, he, who was a little handsome, was definitely more than enough to be a match for his goddess. As long as he could learn Luo Feng’s confidence…
But… But Luo Feng is really awesome!
He looked at Luo Feng’s calm face and had the urge to cry. No comparison at all. Other than sighing at how awesome his brother was, he could not say anything else.
The boy who was very talkative on the plane just now lowered his head silently, not saying a word. Only his eyes were filled with resentment as he looked at Luo Feng from time to time.
After sending the boy to the entrance of the school, the three of them turned around and went to the Zishan Company.
Luo Feng chose Zishan, one of the earliest investment funds in the country and one of the most famous companies. There were many successful investments, and Luo Feng had long heard of it in his previous life.
At that time, Zishan was the one who helped to encourage the familiar shopping websites and video websites to become the leading company.
The company’s investment style was biased towards early-stage venture capitalism. They would choose to withdraw before or after going public. They were more willing to invest in technology and entertainment projects.
They had invested in Zhang Chuan’s Are You Hungry this time. Luo Feng’s Gather Sift Takeaway was also among their targets.
Luo Feng came to Shanghai with Ai Tingya this time to accept the invitation of Zishan Corporation.
The Rolls-Royce stopped under an office building at the outer beach. The two of them alighted and looked up at the silver-gray high-end building. Ai Tingya could not hide the envy on her face.
The office building where their company was located was not only old, but also remote after all.
Compared to the traffic, the endless prosperity made the environment of his company look relatively shabby.
Ji Yang could not help but feel a little smug when he saw Ai Tingya’s reaction.
He said to Luo Feng calmly, “Chairman Luo, our Chairman Xiong is waiting for you.”
Luo Feng could not help but raise his eyebrows. Chairman Xiong of Zishan Corporation was one of the founding members of the domestic investment industry. He was famous in the domestic internet and entertainment circles because of many classic investment cases.
Yan Kaize was also in the investment field. If he saw Chairman Xiong, he might faint from excitement.
This time, he had specially made time for him. It had to be said that he was giving Luo Feng a lot of face.
“This way, please.”
Ji Yang led the two of them into the office building. He had some status in the company. The people he personally received must be people that Chairman Xiong liked.
Many passing employees were stealing glances at Luo Feng and Ai Tingya. They might not have expected the two of them to be so young.
In the Chairman’s office, a refined man sat on the CEO’s chair. There was a bright French window behind him, and the vast skyline of Shanghai was on show.
The man did not look like a businessman. His temperament was more like a scientific researcher. He was wearing glasses and had a gentle smile on his face. He did not have the habitual fake smile that hurt people.
As soon as Luo Feng and Ai Tingya entered, the man stood up and extended his hand enthusiastically. “Chairman Luo? Hello, hello!”
He turned out of the desk and quickly welcomed him, holding Luo Feng’s hand.
“This is our Chairman Xiong.” Ji Yang introduced.
“Hello, Chairman Xiong.” Luo Feng shook his hand.
“I’ve long heard that Chairman Luo is young. I didn’t expect you to be this young. Indeed, heroes come from young people.” Chairman Xiong praised as he led the three of them to the tea table.
The few of them took their seats one after another. Ai Tingya was extremely nervous, but Luo Feng was at ease.
He felt that it was strange. With Chairman Xiong’s status and ability, why was he so polite to a junior like him? His words even sounded like he was flattering him.
‘For what?’
Actually, to be honest, Luo Feng was also flattered by Zishan’s invitation. The other party had long invested in Are You Hungry after. They were actually on opposing sides, if one were to be calculative about it.
In the end, he actually invited his company and was so enthusiastic. No matter how he thought about it, something was wrong.
“Chairman Xiong, how can I deserve this? You’re too kind.” Luo Feng was also polite. After all, he had also established his own business in the past. He did not believe that he could say such polite words at will.
He looked reserved on the surface, but he was not panicking at all.
In his previous life, Luo Feng had seen interviews related to Chairman Xiong and had a certain understanding of this person.
The few of them chatted nonchalantly and could not get to the main topic for a long time.
However, Chairman Xiong realized that Luo Feng’s answer was watertight as he spoke. He was actually even more slippery than him at such a young age. He would definitely not let the topic fall to the ground. He was even more competent than a supporting role.
Moreover, he actually said some opinions intentionally or unintentionally that tickled him.
