Let you be a great man, not a scumbag

Mr. Wang looked at Jiang Cheng with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "What do you mean by this? Where have you been?"

Jiang Cheng nodded slightly. He originally wanted to say that he would go to his girlfriend's house to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival this year?

But when his eyes fell on Huang Yuqi beside him, the words Jiang Cheng was about to say got stuck in his throat.

Wang Congcong, who was standing by, was thinking quickly.

After all, last Mid-Autumn Festival, Jiang Cheng shared a photo of his reflection in the lake to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in the group.

This left a deep impression on him.

Considering the relationship between him and Huang Yuqi, that reflection could never belong to Huang Yuqi.

Wang Congcong quickly said to Mr. Wang, “Dad, you don’t usually go online, so you may not know that Jiang Cheng is planning to rebuild 50 Hope Primary Schools, so he made a special trip to investigate the situation.”

Hearing this, Wang, the richest man, showed astonishment on his face. He asked in disbelief, "You went so far to investigate? Do you really want to engage in charity work?"

After receiving Wang Congcong's eye signal, Jiang Cheng replied nonchalantly: "Well, actually it can't be said that I went there specially. I just happened to meet him and helped him by the way."

After hearing this, Mr. Wang nodded but did not ask any further questions.

After all, for these businessmen, the word "charity" is seen as an act of deepening the water.

Judging from his many years of experience, who can tell whether this so-called charity is legitimate or legal or there is some other hidden secret?

He neither wanted to ask, nor did he dare to ask too much.

So, he praised her politely and formally: "Your awareness is worth learning from for my kid."

Seeing that his father brought the topic to himself, Wang Congcong felt helpless and couldn't help but roll his eyes subconsciously.

At this moment, suddenly a young man in a suit and tie walked into the room from outside.

He walked towards the house and said, "Boss Wang, you are at home today."

After hearing the voice, Mr. Wang said to Jiang Cheng, "Oh, there is a guest. Please wait a moment."

Then he immediately stood up from the table and walked forward.

"Hey, Lao Ma, why did you come here suddenly?"

I only heard the other person reply: "I just happened to pass by and saw your car parked outside, so I wanted to ask why you stayed at home today?"

Wang Congcong listened to the voice and said to Jiang Cheng: "From the sound of it, it should be the CEO of Penguin who lives nearby."

Jiang Cheng suddenly remembered a famous meme on the Internet.

Why don't camels feel pain when they eat cacti?

In fact, it is because when the camel's mouth is stimulated by the cactus thorns, their mouths will automatically secrete a substance that can paralyze the oral nerves.

It can relieve pain immediately, so this substance is called Ma Hua Tong.

When Ma Huatong saw the Wang family having dinner, he immediately greeted Mrs. Wang embarrassedly.

After the greetings, Wang, the richest man, introduced Ma Huatong to Jiang Cheng: "Jiang Cheng, this is the CEO of Penguin, Ma Huatong."

After that, he turned to Ma Huatong and said, "This is my son's friend, the president of Xingchen Investment Company, a rising star. You should know him, right?"

Seeing this, Ma Huatong quickly extended his right hand towards Jiang Cheng, a smile on his face, and said enthusiastically: "Mr. Jiang, nice to meet you. I have heard that Mr. Jiang is a shining star in the business world. After meeting him today, I find that his reputation is well-deserved."

During this period of time, Jiang Cheng has already met many business tycoons, so he is very calm at this time.

With a slight smile, he politely shook Ma Huatong's hand and said, "Mr. Ma, you are too kind. I didn't expect to meet you while having a meal at Uncle Wang's house. It's really fate."

Ma Huatong laughed: "Yes, it's such a coincidence. By the way, I only heard about Hua Yi's incident after the fact. I am very sorry for causing you such unhappiness."

When Jiang Cheng saw Ma Huatong mention Hua Yi, he was stunned for a second.

Then he remembered that what Ma Huatong was talking about was the investment gala jointly organized by Penguin and Jiaxing last time.

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but feel a little surprised that the CEO of a company with hundreds of billions of assets would still remember such a small thing.

"Mr. Ma, if I have to apologize, I should say sorry to you. After all, this investment party is hosted by you. I hope you can forgive me for the unexpected and troublesome things that happened to you."

Ma Huatong immediately waved his hands vigorously.

"That's nothing. I've heard the whole story. This is entirely Feng Gan's own problem. I despise his behavior."

"Besides, I also have shares in Huayi Company. When the Wang brothers mentioned this to me, I was the first one to raise my hand and vote in favor of kicking Feng Gan out."

Seeing that Ma Huatong had made his position clear, Jiang Cheng replied sympathetically: "There is such a thing. Sorry, sorry. I was targeting Feng Gan, but I didn't expect to accidentally hurt you."

After all, due to its own reasons, Huayi Company’s stock price hit the limit down during those days.

Even though the market heated up later, billions of market value were still evaporated.

This was indeed an indirect injury to him as a shareholder.

"Don't talk about this kind of thing. If anyone is to blame, it's Feng Gan," Ma Huatong replied with a wave of his hand.

Seeing that there was such a story between Ma Huatong and Jiang Cheng, the richest man Wang quickly and enthusiastically invited everyone to walk towards the living room and asked them to sit down and talk in detail.

As soon as they entered the living room, Mrs. Wang hurriedly ordered the servants to bring up tea and fruit to entertain the guests.

After bringing the fruits and vegetables, Mrs. Wang said something specifically to Jiang Cheng.

"Jiang Cheng, thank you for the fruits and melons. I heard that they were grown by your grandfather. I am so honored. I tasted them as soon as I came back. To be honest, it is no exaggeration to say that these are the most delicious fruits and melons that Auntie has ever eaten in her life."

Jiang Cheng smiled slightly when he heard this: "This fruit is indeed sweet. My grandfather said that the temperature difference between day and night is large during this period, so the fruits grown here are very sweet."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Wang immediately interrupted and asked, "Your grandfather must be quite old, right? He grows fruits and vegetables himself, and it seems that he is still in good health."

Jiang Cheng pondered in his heart, based on his previous investigation and his grandfather's confidentiality.

He felt that it was very likely that Mr. Wang, the richest man, did not know the true identity of his grandfather.

So he replied calmly: "He is in good health. He is just killing time when he has nothing to do and also taking it as exercise."

"That's great, that's great. It's a good thing that the old man can move around. It's indeed an honor for our family to eat the melons he grows." The tone of Mr. Wang's richest man was full of respect and gratitude for Grandpa Jiang Cheng.

"This melon grows so fast that we can't even finish it all. I've just asked someone to send some more over."

Although Ma Huatong, who was standing by, was not clear about Jiang Cheng's specific background, the Wang brothers had told him the general situation before.

Coupled with the attitude of Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang towards Jiang Cheng, how could he not see that Jiang Cheng was different from others.

So, he immediately began to agree: "This melon is indeed very sweet. You can taste the pure natural flavor when you put it in your mouth. Even the most premium and exquisite fruits cannot compare with it."

After Ma Hua finished speaking, the richest man Wang continued, "Old Ma, you came at the right time today. You are so lucky to have such a delicious meal. Plus, you and Jiang Cheng have such a past. This is fate."

"Yes, I have wanted to meet Mr. Jiang for a long time, but I didn't expect that today... Hey, it just happened, it's such a coincidence!"

During the conversation, Jiang Cheng picked up the fruits on the table, gently placed them in front of Huang Yuqi next to him, and handed them to her politely.

Seeing that the two business giants leading China's economy were deliberately praising Jiang Cheng in their words and deeds, Huang Yuqi on the side became even more curious about Jiang Cheng.

Huang Yuqi took the fruit from Jiang Cheng with a smile and whispered, "Thank you."

When one person starts to feel curious about another person, it often means the beginning of a relationship.

Originally, in her impression, Jiang Cheng was just a rich second-generation, a "national husband" with many female fans on Weibo.

In addition, she also knew that Jiang Cheng was the boyfriend of the daughter of a family in Rongshan Village.

The above is all she knows about Jiang Cheng.

And her conversation with Jiang Cheng on the Great Wall just now, as well as his considerate behavior at the dinner table, made her see an unusual side of this rich second-generation.

This new understanding caused more ripples in Huang Yuqi's heart, and her interest in Jiang Cheng grew stronger.

At this moment, being in such a luxurious environment.

I saw with my own eyes Jiang Cheng chatting and laughing with other people naturally and socializing with ease.

She couldn't help but feel a dreamlike feeling in her heart.

Her life has always been monotonous and simple. Although she does not worship money, she thinks that Jiang Cheng, a gifted child of heaven, is indeed excellent.

Everyone sat together, sipping tea and chatting happily.

At this time, Wang, the richest man, suddenly turned to Jiang Cheng and asked, "I heard that you invested in Douyin a while ago, and you are interested in investing in Weibo recently?"

Jiang Cheng showed a surprised smile and responded: "Uncle is really well-informed!"

"Haha, actually I'm more concerned about Lao Ma's dynamics, so I know Weibo is interested in inviting you to participate in the investment."

Ma Huatong, who was sitting next to him, quickly interrupted and explained: "The old Ma that Mr. Wang mentioned is not me, he should be referring to Ma Yun, right?"

Mr. Wang laughed out loud: "Yes! You are talking about him. Both of you have the last name Ma and are involved in the Internet industry. You look like two brothers."

Seeing the sarcastic tone in Wang's voice when he mentioned Jack Ma, Ma Huateng shook his head helplessly and said.

"You are such a joke. The two of us, one from Hainan and one from Zhejiang, are so far away. Mr. Wang, you still have three years left in your bet with him. Ali is gaining momentum recently."

"Ah Li wants to become Xinlang's largest shareholder, but they are not happy about it and are trying to persuade Jiang Cheng to join in."

Seeing that the topic was about himself, Jiang Cheng casually asked, "Uncle, are you interested in entering the Internet?"

Wang nodded slightly, indicating his agreement. "Yes, I am indeed quite interested in this. In 12, I made a bet with Lao Ma and Ma Yun at an awards dinner. I bet whether online shopping could occupy % of the market share in the next eight years. If it could, I would lose, and I would give him million. That time is coming soon, and I have been paying close attention to the developments in the Internet field in the past two years."

Jiang Cheng had heard a little about this bet.

During those years, there were a lot of videos on Weibo showing the quarrels between Mr. Wang and Ma Yun.

Every time these two people appear, they create some topics.

After all, one is the real economy and the other is the new Internet economy.

It is inevitable that people will always make comparisons with us.

Seeing that Jiang Cheng was just listening with a smile, Wang the richest man immediately asked, "I see that you are also investing in the Internet now. Who do you think has a greater chance of winning in this bet between me and him?"

After hearing this, Jiang Cheng still had a smile on his face, but did not answer immediately.

He thought for a moment, then shook his head and spoke slowly.

"Half and half, judging by the current market trend, I estimate that your bet will have to be cancelled, because even though this number has not been reached, the probability is very close."

Mr. Wang seemed a little surprised by the answer. He frowned slightly and asked.

"Oh? Why do you say that? Don't you think highly of the Internet economy?"

Jiang Cheng smiled and explained, "It's not that I'm not optimistic, but the current market changes too fast, and it's difficult to predict future development trends. However, judging from the current situation, the Internet economy does have huge potential and room for development."

Mr. Wang nodded, indicating that he agreed with Jiang Cheng's point of view.

Then, he sighed, "Alas, when it comes to the Internet, it really makes people love and hate it. We, the older generation of entrepreneurs, sometimes really can't keep up with the pace of the times. Look at Congcong, investing in live broadcasts, games, and teams, it feels like they are all fun things, there is no trace of real industry at all."

Ma Hua listened to the pain, smiled and comforted him: "Mr. Wang, don't worry too much. Young people have their own ideas and pursuits. They may know how to seize the current trends and opportunities. Moreover, the Internet industry is not completely without industrial support. Many Internet companies are also constantly innovating and expanding their business areas and combining them with traditional industries."

Seeing that Mr. Wang mentioned him, Wang Congcong rolled his eyes helplessly again.

"Dad, just talk about yourself. Don't drag me into every sentence, okay?"

Hearing this, Mr. Wang frowned and waved his hands: "Okay, okay, okay, I won't mention you, I'll mention someone else."

Although Mrs. Wang didn't say anything, she gently patted Wang Congcong's arm to comfort him.

It can be seen that the way Wang Congcong gets along with Mr. Wang is very different from the way he gets along with his father.

Jiang Cheng also smiled and agreed, "To be honest, Internet investment is the most convenient investment. You just need to throw money at it, and you don't need to use any real resources, right? China's real economy is now close to saturation. If you want to make a living from your predecessors, you can only start with a new economic model."

Mr. Wang nodded and said, "You are right. Although everyone says that Lao Xu and I built our real estate business out of nothing, what they don't know is how big the risk is for Dawang to take on every arbitrage. If we fail to do something right, we will lose everything."
