The taxi Ji Wenfeng was riding in slowly stopped, and the driver said in a Hong Kong voice: “This is it.”
Ji Wenfeng: “Master, are you sure? Is it here? I feel like we lost the taxi ten kilometers away.”
Driver: “It can’t be wrong~”
Ji Wenfeng paid and reluctantly pushed the door out: “I didn’t know TVB asked you to act in some kind of chase movie.”
Driver: “I was an extra in traffic scenes.”
“I see.” Ji Wenfeng slammed the car door.
After turning around, he found himself standing under the JC Communications building.
JC Communications… isn’t Ji Jingshen’s company?
He walked into the lobby with deep doubts and asked the front desk: “Where is your Mr. Ji?”
The receptionist raised a business smile: “Do you have an appointment?”
Ji Wenfeng: “Strictly speaking, JC communications is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Ji company, that is to say, I am your major shareholder.”
The front desk receptionist kept her smile unchanged: “Please wait a moment.”
Then she turned around and called Ji Jingshen’s secretary: “Is there anyone? A person without an appointment wants to see Mr. Ji. He said he is our major shareholder. He looks as old as Mr. Lu from the mainland.”
A faint voice came from behind: “I am two months older than him.”
The secretary heard Ji Wenfeng’s voice and said: “…he is indeed the major shareholder.”
The receptionist immediately threw away the receiver, stood up, bent at 90 degrees, stretched out her palm and pointed at the elevator: “Hello, major shareholder, please take the president’s exclusive elevator.”
Ji Wenfeng took a few steps forward, turned around and asked, “You just said Mr. Lu from mainland China, is he upstairs now?”
The front desk receptionist’s expression froze and she took a deep breath: “Is he also our major shareholder?”
Ji Wenfeng: “No, not yet.” After a pause, he added, “But it’s hard to say about the future. It’s hard to say what property will be shared after marriage.”
Tears appeared in the receptionist’s eyes: “Excuse me. What are the consequences of speaking ill of the majority shareholder’s wife behind his back?”
Ji Wenfeng: “What did you say about him?”
Receptionist: “I said he was young.”
Ji Wenfeng thought for a while: “In my experience, the majority shareholder’s wife likes to be complimented on his youth and beauty. I don’t think it’s a big problem.”
The receptionist burst into tears and smiled: “Thank you! ——You’d better hurry up. Mr. Ji doesn’t know that Mr. Lu is our future majority shareholder’s wife.”
Ji Jingshen originally planned to wait until his secretary sent Lu Rong away, but he didn’t expect Ji Wenfeng to show up. He walked out of the office and passed Lu Rong with a hurried look, pretending that nothing had happened.
Lu Rong put down the gossip magazine in his hand and greeted him: “Mr. Ji!”
Ji Jingshen originally hoped that Lu Rong would be obsessed with gossip and forget about the meeting with him. The plan failed, so he had to show a surprised expression and talk to him. He shook hands: “Excuse me, who are you…”
“Lu Rong.” Lu Rong introduced himself solemnly, “I am Sina Weibo ID Weiren Technology.”
Ji Jingshen pretended to be very surprised: “Oh, so it is. You…I’m very impressed with you!”
“I’ve been signing up for your Super Chat for more than a year, and now I’m your Super Chat host,” Lu Rong said politely and with firm eyes.
Ji Jingshen seemed to be listening to him attentively, but in fact he couldn’t take his eyes away from the faint fluff on his lips.
Lu Rong: “I have been looking forward to this meeting for a long time. I didn’t sleep for a week before coming to Hong Kong this time. I really didn’t expect that you would reply to my email and confirm my plan. When I thought about it, I was so excited to see you that I couldn’t sleep all night. Later, I revised my ideas one after another and provided more details. I can’t wait to sit down with you and talk about the specific ideas of this vertical purchasing platform….”
Lu Rong kept chattering as he walked out with him.
Ji Jingshen saw that the elevator was almost there and quickly interrupted him: “Mr. Lu, I am looking forward to having an in-depth conversation with you about your plan, but today may not be possible. It’s a coincidence but…my wife is about to give birth.” Ji Jingshen kept his face straight and said what he said to deceive a child. He took out his mobile phone and waved it in front of him.
The excited expression on Lu Rong’s face was suddenly replaced by disappointment. He barely maintained a polite look and nodded: “Family is more important.”
The elevator door opened with a ding, and Ji Wenfeng walked out of the car with the girl at the front desk, and bumped into Lu Rong and Ji Jingshen head-on.
The girl at the front desk: “Mr. Ji, this is…”
Ji Wenfeng quickly interrupted him: “I was just passing by, do you have a bathroom here?” At the same time, he warned Ji Jingshen with his eyes not to ask anything, and not to ask anything.
The corner of Ji Jingshen’s eyes fell on Lu Rong beside him: Is this fu**ing one of yours?
Ji Wenfeng nodded slightly.
Lu Rong accidentally met Ji Wenfeng here: “…Why are you here?”
Ji Wenfeng: “I just…”
Lu Rong: “…” Ji Wenfeng would follow him wherever he went.
He had just experienced Ji Jingshen’s rejection and was in a bad mood. Ji Wenfeng suddenly appeared at this embarrassing moment. Lu Rong pushed him away and got into the elevator, getting off alone.
Seeing Lu Rong leave, Ji Wenfeng blocked Ji Jingshen at the elevator entrance and asked seriously: “What did you do?”
Ji Jingshen: “…Your kid approached me and wanted to cooperate with me to develop a platform, but he is only sixteen! By the time I find out, it is too late! I can’t do business with a sixteen-year-old kid!”
Ji Wenfeng: “This kid has been staying up late this week to see you. Information, market analysis and planning, he works harder than any of your employees. He is even learning programming by himself and wants to make his own app.” He uploaded the new version of Lu Rong’s ppt to Ji Jingshen’s phone, “Look at it. My dad had nothing when he got married, and you were only a few years older than him at the time. Don’t bully a young man for being poor.”
Ji Jingshen corrected, “Actually, I was 10 years older…” Was he 26 years old when he met Ji Tong?
Ji Wenfeng: “You can’t judge a person by his appearance. Before rejecting him, at least listen to what he has to say. I’ll give you fifteen minutes to get the conference room ready.”
Ji Jingshen: “…Yes.”
Walking downstairs, Ji Wenfeng saw Lu Rong queuing up at the milk tea shop opposite. He took his stocking milk tea, pierced it, and sat in a suit on the table, like an ordinary office worker who was unhappy at work, but his thin stature revealed that he was still just a child.
Ji Wenfeng walked into the milk tea shop, bought a can of milk tea, and walked up to him: “Can I share a table with you?”
Lu Rong glanced at him and sat aside. The two of them sat side by side, slurping milk tea.
Ji Wenfeng: “Can you tell me what’s going on?”
Lu Rong was silent for a while: “I have a plan.” He said, “Ji Jingshen is my idol and the partner of my dream. I had a good chat with him online, but as soon as we met he ruled me out.”
Lu Rong sneered: “He said his wife is about to give birth… His phone lock screen is even that of a man.”
He didn’t even bother to make excuses.
For the first time, Lu Rong felt the difficulty of being in the shopping mall. He was a prosperous self-employed person in Chengnan, but he was nothing in society. It had been many years since he had enjoyed this feeling of being ignored, not sicne he had become a teenager.
“You don’t have to care about him so much.” Ji Wenfeng enlightened, “There are many people like this in society.”
Lu Rong couldn’t help but smile: “You are really good at comforting people.”
Ji Wenfeng said: “No matter how good they are, they shouldn’t be listed as partners, do you know why?”
Lu Rong looked into his eyes quietly.
Ji Wenfeng: “Because, people who can’t see your talent are not worthy of being with you.”
Lu Rong was stunned, withdrew his gaze and held up the milk tea.
On the one hand, it was still very hot in the harbor city in October, and on the other hand, he didn’t want Ji Wenfeng to see him crying and dissatisfied.
The two of them finished talking over milk tea and were about to go back when Lu Rong’s cell phone suddenly rang. He picked up the call, listened for a while, and said a few nice words. Ji Wenfeng waited for him to end the call and asked him, “What’s wrong?”
Lu Rong was serious but couldn’t hide his excitement, his eyes had brightened again: “He came back to talk to me.”
Ji Wenfeng pretended not to know anything: “That’s good – I’m walking around.” His mission was completed. He had read Lu Rong’s plan and it was very good. Even he wanted to invest some money after reading it.
Just as Ji Wenfeng turned around to leave, Lu Rong held his wrist: “You…can you go with me?” After saying that, he let go of his hand in embarrassment.
Ji Wenfeng was so flattered that he couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth crazily. Fortunately, Lu Rong turned his head and looked at the traffic outside, blushing to himself and not noticing anything.
Ji Wenfeng coughed twice and pretended to think for a few seconds: “Then you want to have dinner with me tonight.”
Lu Rong agreed simply this time: “Okay.”
Ji Wenfeng immediately felt that he was at a huge loss: “Please get me some more milk tea.”
Lu Rong: “…Okay.”
Ji Wenfeng: “You still have to take a walk with me.”
Lu Rong: “You have a lot to do!”
Lu Rong and Ji Wenfeng returned to JC communication. In the conference room, the standard of the reception this time was much higher. There was a cup of American coffee in front of both of them, and a stack of exquisite snacks on the table.
The secretary printed out the ppt and brought in one copy each: “Mr. Ji, please.”
Lu Rong turned around and looked at the two of them suspiciously.
Ji Wenfeng broke into a cold sweat. He didn’t want Lu Rong to know about his relationship with JC Communications!
If Lu Rong knew that JC Communications was a subsidiary of Ji Company, then why did Lu Rong work so hard?! This would make him feel that he gained Ji Jingshen’s respect only because of Ji’s background. Although this was indeed the case so far, after this meeting, Ji Wenfeng believed that Lu Rong could rely on his own ability to make Ji Jingshen favor him. He accompanied Lu Rong here to be his solid backing, not to make him think the whole thing was a farce.
Ji Wenfeng suddenly realized his wisdom and raised his chin towards Ji Jingshen who was opposite him: “Your boss Ji over there. His shortsightedness is so severe that he should wear a pair of glasses.”
Secretary: “He doesn’t have…”
Ji Wenfeng turned his whole body and let him go to deliver information to Ji Jingshen.
Lu Rong warned him quietly: “You can’t be so rude to the secretary.” He felt now like taking his old father from the countryside to meet the leader, but the old father kept picking his feet on the sofa.
Ji Wenfeng: “…Okay. I’ll just sit here, motionless.” As he said this, he signaled to Ji Jingshen with his eyes: Don’t reveal your identity.
Ji Jingshen: “…”
He didn’t dare to ask or say anything.
