276 President Wang’s Social Engagement
The dinner party after Little Orange Book’s Series A financing was held in the largest private room of a high-end restaurant in Modu, with five tables full.
The tables were filled with expensive and exquisite dishes, but most of them remained largely untouched even after getting cold. After all, in such an occasion, the food was not the point, the alcohol was.
Of course, to be more precise, the alcohol was not the point either. The social significance of drinking was what everyone cared about most.
Wang Heng considered himself to have a good alcohol tolerance, but he was still a little diffident in such an occasion. After all, he was the youngest person here, and the kind with a huge sum of money and a mysterious background, so others couldn’t help but be curious. Once curious, they would probe and toast.
Fortunately, Assistant Shen had a better alcohol tolerance than him and was quite conscious. Without Wang Heng’s reminder, Assistant Shen took the initiative to block the drinks for him. Except for those big shots who were really hard to refuse, Shen Yexi blocked the toasts from many others for him.
So after three rounds of drinks, Wang Heng’s face just became a little rosier, and his mind remained as clear as usual.
However, even if he wasn’t drunk, it was inevitable that he needed to excrete after drinking. So he told the people around him, got up, walked out of the private room, and went to the restroom.
Of course, he couldn’t notice that just behind him, a middle-aged man also got up and left the table under the pretext of going to the toilet, following behind him…
Wang Heng arrived in the restroom, stood in front of the urinal, and unzipped his pants.
Just then, Ye Xun’s father walked in, stood beside him, and also unbuckled his belt.
Wang Heng shivered inwardly. Obviously, the other party came for him. And at this time, it was impossible to hold it back halfway and run away, that would be too abrupt.
“Mr. Wang is really young and promising,” Ye Kang turned to look at him, with a polite smile on his face. “However, I seem to have seen you somewhere before?”
Regardless of what he felt inside, on the surface, Wang Heng also put on the same calm smile. “Perhaps. You are Mr. Ye, a senior executive of Gezhen Fund?”
Ye Kang mocked himself, “Can’t compare to President Wang’s youth and promise, I’m just a small assistant.”
Wang Heng: “Assistant to the President, isn’t that a candidate for Vice President? Mr. Ye, don’t be too modest. And a big platform like Gezhen Fund is much stronger than a straggler like me.”
Ye Kang shook his head and sighed silently.
Just a year ago, he was an old friend on equal footing, but now the other party had become his immediate boss. And the other party mainly used his connections and media channel experience, with no intention of sharing power. After all, even if looking for a successor, one wouldn’t look for a middle-aged and elderly person of the same generation…
How could the triumphant boy in front of him understand the frustration and melancholy in between?
However, Ye Kang didn’t expect that Wang Heng knew him too well. So Wang Heng could see through the intention behind the next sentence without guessing.
“Saying you’re a straggler, President Wang, you are too modest. Ordinary angel investors cash out and leave at Series A. How many are as powerful as President Wang? Entering at Series A, and being so generous.”
Ye Kang’s words were obviously starting to probe.
So what countermeasure should Wang Heng use?
In front of a suspicious father with rich social experience, if he played tricks and left any flaws, he would probably be caught, right? If the other party had thoughts like ‘what do you want to do by approaching my daughter with lies’, it would definitely be more troublesome.
A rich young master hiding his identity to approach a down-and-out young lady, isn’t this a plot in a melodramatic romance drama? What would the girl’s father think if he knew?
In that case, just be open about it. Anyway, there was nothing shameful.
Wang Heng said calmly, “Maybe it’s also because the money came too easily. To be honest, the money for this investment was actually lucked into in the past few months.”
Ye Kang: “Lucked into?”
Wang Heng: “At the end of last year, I first ran into the Bitcoin market trend, and then ran into the big market trend of the stock market. I made a lot, so I started a company to engage in investment. Actually, just a year ago, I was just an ordinary high school graduate.”
Ye Kang couldn’t help laughing. “President Wang, don’t joke. Starting from scratch to this extent in one year, how is it possible?”
Wang Heng spread his hands. “If you don’t believe it, you can check. To be honest, just a few months ago, I was still working part-time as a tutor.”
Ye Kang had actually seen this point. The first time he saw this kid was beside his daughter Ye Xun. According to Ye Xun, this Wang Heng was tutoring her in math…
But the more he thought about it, the more incredible Ye Kang felt. An ordinary freshman, making so much money in less than a year?
Even those Wall Street sharks couldn’t do it, right?
He couldn’t help but say, “Isn’t it a bit too risky for you to do this? Investing millions in Little Orange Book at once, you…”
Wang Heng smiled slightly. “Because I have more than a few million. What I can take out for investment is of course the part that can bear the risk.”
Before his voice fell, Ye Kang was speechless.
After being stunned for a moment, this former successful entrepreneur sighed with emotion, “Starting from scratch to tens of millions within a year, President Wang is truly a business genius…”
Wang Heng smiled and nodded, but felt faintly uneasy.
Just now he only thought about telling the truth, mainly considering avoiding trouble from Ye Kang. But thinking about it now, did this leave too deep an impression on him? Would there be risks in other aspects?
At this time, Wang Heng suddenly realized that both he and Ye Kang had actually finished their business.
He zipped up his pants, buckled his belt, and said, “Then I’ll go back first.”
“Okay, President Wang, you go first…” Ye Kang glanced subconsciously, but didn’t see anything substantial.
Wait, wouldn’t it be more awkward if he saw it?
**
Han Yixuan stayed in the hotel room, feeling a little regretful.
Social engagements in the business world, would those men have other activities after drinking? What if they went to some terrible places?
“I haven’t even kissed him. If I get beaten to it by some inexplicable bad woman, or even worse, take away his most important first time…”
Muttering to herself here, Han Yixuan couldn’t sit still anymore.
But on second thought, Wang Heng was so strict with herself, Pei Ningle, Ye Xun, and Lu Qi. He would definitely refuse when facing others, especially strange and casual girls… right?
The problem was, she wasn’t his girlfriend, just an assistant, which meant she had no position to question or monitor. A young, handsome, and rich boy, facing temptations in the night of Modu?
At this time, it was already time to take a shower and go to bed. But Han Yixuan was still wearing her daytime office dress, sitting on the edge of the bed, holding her phone, hesitating and wandering.
Finally, she couldn’t help sending a WeChat message to Wang Heng: 【When are you coming back?】
After waiting for a few minutes, the girl finally saw the reply: 【On the way back, arriving within half an hour.】
Han Yixuan breathed a sigh of relief. “So fast, nothing should have happened, right…”
