”Hmm, tomorrow?”

Gong Lin was unexpectedly startled for a moment before nodding and saying, ”Okay.”

She didn’t ask why, since Jiang Chen said tomorrow, then tomorrow was fine. After all, one day wouldn’t make much difference.

”Will you stay at the office or go back?” Gong Lin didn’t know what kind of emotion she had when she asked this.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, ”Since I’m here, I’ll stay for a while. I have some things to take care of anyway.”

Gong Lin laughed lightly, ”Then fine, we’ll have lunch together.”

Jiang Chen nodded, ”Okay.”

After leaving Gong Lin’s office, Jiang Chen returned to his own. Apart from having lunch with Gong Lin at noon, the only other person who had been called into his office was the investment department manager Wang Maode; no one else knew what Jiang Chen was doing inside.

Jiang Chen stayed at the company until noon and when it was time to go off work, he once again visited Gong Lin’s office.

Upon entering, Jiang Chen asked, ”Gong Lin, have you decided where to eat for tomorrow?”

Gong Lin nodded, ”Yes, it’s set. We’ll eat at the Splendid Hotel, which is invested in by our company.”

Jiang Chen was surprised for a moment. The Splendid Hotel was also invested in by the company?

”Then I’ll head straight there tomorrow at noon. You don’t need to wait for me,” Jiang Chen instructed.

Gong Lin nodded in agreement, ”Okay! But right now, you have to take me to lunch first, as promised.”

”No problem.”

”Let’s go.”

The two of them took the elevator down together, receiving cordial greetings all along the way.

However, upon reaching the first-floor lobby, a sudden, miserable cry of ”President Jiang” halted their steps.

Then, they saw a figure rush in front of Jiang Chen and ”plop” down on his knees.

”President Jiang, I really didn’t know you were the president of The Four Seas. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have dared to offend you even if I had the guts of a leopard. Punish me, however you see fit, I’ll accept it.”

Listening to those cries that sounded as if his parents had died, Jiang Chen had a weird expression on his face.

Li Feng? What’s this kid still doing here?

Gong Lin was also taken aback and asked, ”Who is he?”

Jiang Chen shook his head with a wry smile, ”A high school classmate of mine, who usually looked down on me.”

”Oh...”

Gong Lin laughed. So, it was a classmate who had judged people with a superior gaze.

Li Feng knelt there, looking up at Jiang Chen and Gong Lin, witnessing their carefree laughter, and suddenly truly felt as if he had been blind before. How had he never realized how outstanding Jiang Chen was?

Thinking this, he suddenly slapped himself across the face.

”Slap—I was wrong, President Jiang.”

He was about to slap himself again but was stopped by Jiang Chen, ”That’s enough, get up. We’re classmates, after all. It looks bad.”

”Yes, yes, I’ve embarrassed you.”

Li Feng hurriedly got up and bowed deeply in front of Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen inquired, ”Tell me, why did you come to The Four Seas today?”

Li Feng awkwardly said, ”I inherited my dad’s company, but it’s not doing too well. It’s already...”

Jiang Chen understood, he was here to seek investment.

Turning his head, he glanced at Gong Lin.

Gong Lin laughed, ”You are the CEO, you call the shots.”

Jiang Chen nodded and turned to Li Feng, ”In that case, I’m not sure about the investment right now, but I can have the marketing department take a look at it, how does that sound?”

”Okay, okay, thank you, President Jiang, thank you.”

Li Feng was overjoyed and kept bowing and nodding his head.

Jiang Chen smiled and was about to leave, but then he remembered something, ”Oh, remember, I like to keep a low profile, so let’s not broadcast this matter.”

Li Feng immediately nodded, ”Understood, this matter will rot in my stomach.”

Satisfied, Jiang Chen smiled, left with Gong Lin, and went off to have lunch.

”Looks can truly be deceiving, huh? The guy who seems to live off a woman turns out to be a CEO, impressive indeed.”

Watching Jiang Chen’s retreating back, Li Feng was filled with emotion, suddenly feeling the urge to find a rich woman to feed off as well.

...

Before long, it was the next day at noon.

Today, the Splendid Hotel had been booked by Sihai Investment specifically to introduce Jiang Chen to the heads of various leading companies.

Starting from ten in the morning, all sorts of luxury cars drove into the Splendid Hotel’s parking lot, as one businessman after another in formal attire entered the hotel.

As noon approached, Jiang Chen rode his electric scooter leisurely to the hotel.

After parking his scooter, Jiang Chen walked toward the hotel.

”Halt!” A security guard at the hotel entrance stopped Jiang Chen, ”Go eat somewhere else, today the venue is booked!”

Jiang Chen explained, ”I’m here to attend the banquet.”

”Attend the banquet? Are you out of your mind? Do you know who is coming here today? You, a pauper on an electric scooter, dare say you’re here for the banquet? Get lost!” The security guard looked at Jiang Chen with disdain.

Jiang Chen was just about to speak when he caught sight of Wang Hui hurrying out of the hotel, and he closed his mouth.

”Why are you still here? Get lost! Don’t dirty the eyes of our bosses!” The security guard said with disgust and pushed Jiang Chen.

”Slap—”

A crisp sound rang out as Wang Hui rushed to Jiang Chen’s side and slapped the security guard across the face, ”Blind as a dog, this is our CEO, who the hell are you to stop him?”

Wang Hui was in charge of the reception today and had been waiting in the lobby since he heard Jiang Chen hadn’t arrived. Just going to the restroom for a moment, he came out to find the security guard stopping Jiang Chen and telling him to leave, a dereliction of duty for someone in charge of hospitality, which made him immediately rush out in a panic.

Wang Hui hurriedly bowed and apologized to Jiang Chen, ”President, I’m sorry, I went to the restroom for a moment and didn’t receive you.”

Jiang Chen waved his hand, ”It’s fine, let’s go in.”

The two entered the hotel, leaving the entrance guard dumbfounded. Damn it, who the hell comes to a banquet on an electric scooter?

In the hotel’s third-floor banquet hall, Jiang Chen followed Wang Hui inside.

”Jiang Chen.” Gong Lin called out to Jiang Chen from the head table. Jiang Chen walked over, nodded with a smile at Gong Lin’s grandfather sitting at the same table, and then took the empty seat next to Gong Lin.

But as soon as he sat down, he frowned. Glancing around the banquet hall, Jiang Chen sensed that something about the atmosphere was off.

At this moment in the banquet hall, the heads of various companies had arrived, and everyone knew that The Four Seas had changed its chairman and CEO.

The chairman was acceptable since she was a daughter of the Gong Family; others couldn’t say much about that. But what about the guy who had just walked in? The new CEO of The Four Seas? So young? And that attire, that demeanor, what was all this? Was he really up to it?

The company heads all gave Jiang Chen unwelcoming looks, some glancing at him sideways, others blatantly ignoring him to watch Gong Lin, their eyes flitting about, clearly harboring their own thoughts.

”Everyone, please quiet down.”

Gong Lin stood up to call for attention, then gestured to Jiang Chen, ”This is our company’s new CEO, Jiang Chen. Please welcome Jiang Chen, everyone!”

”Clap clap clap—”

Scattered applause echoed throughout the banquet hall.
