Chapter 658 Three People in One Room
Wednesday is here soon.
Cheng Zhu took Yue Lingjing and set out from the company at 9:30 in the morning and headed for the Magic City.
He has two meetings in the afternoon.
One is related to Youqu, and the other is related to the next round of financing for Youcha. The schedule can be said to be very full.
The meeting will end around five o'clock in the afternoon, after which he will have dinner with Zhang Tao and Zhang Xuhao.
The hotel booked a suite, which has two rooms.
Cheng Zhu lived in the master bedroom, and his assistant Yue Lingjing lived in another room.
Hu Yan would come to the hotel to report to him on her work, and then stay with Yue Lingjing at night, and the two best friends would chat about the night.
This is basically the itinerary for today.
Yue Lingjing was quite nervous during the afternoon meeting.
Although she came from a large family and had come into contact with many bigwigs in the investment and business circles, as well as some high-ranking officials since childhood, all of that was in a private environment.
This is the first time that I have to participate in work in such a formal occasion.
Her job content is actually quite basic, which is to organize and record.
However, as soon as everyone sat down in the conference room, she could clearly feel Cheng Zhu's aura.
Yes, this person is a bit ruffian, giving people a sense of being reckless. And this temperament, with his promising young age and great success in his career, will automatically add a layer of filter to it, turning it into the word "aura".
This world is so simple and crude.
If you are an ordinary person, it would be: What the hell are you showing off for?
If you are an extraordinary person, you have your own aura.
Her uncle Yue Dongyi also came to the second meeting.
This made Jingjing even more nervous.
She felt like it was a parent-teacher conference.
During the meeting, Wang Zeng from Red Mountain Capital always looked at the two of them with an auntie smile.
The bald man thought: "They look quite a good match."
Cheng Zhu looked ruffian-like, while Yue Lingjing looked literary.
This actually gives people an indescribable feeling.
In addition, he is actually very familiar with Yue Dongyi.
He has always been very clear that this man is very picky and ordinary young people are not even worthy of his attention!
But if it was Cheng Zhu, if he could find such a good son-in-law, it would be a great honor for the ancestors of the Yue family!
This old bald guy also saw the scandal between Guo Zhu and Shen Qingning on the Internet.
But he didn't think it mattered.
"It's normal for young people."
The love at this moment cannot represent the future.
At his age and with his experience, his outlook on love has changed.
He even suspected that Yue Dongyi arranged Yue Lingjing to be with Cheng Zhu just to bring them together.
After the meeting, Cheng Zhu took Yue Lingjing to the dinner party.
"You're even bringing us to the dinner party?" Wang Zeng hadn't left yet. He came to Yue Dongyi and said with a smile.
Yue Dongyi glanced at him from head to toe, and felt that there was something deeper behind the old bald man's words.
"I arranged it. I told him that if there are any dinner parties on weekdays, he can bring Jingjing along, just don't let her drink."
"Your half-daughter is so beautiful, can you trust this boy so much?" The old bald man continued with a smile.
"You're still controlling me!" The old king was displeased and cursed with a frown.
The old friends stood there and chatted for a while before getting into their respective cars.
On the other side, the business car drove to a winery.
As usual, the dining location for these "Three Musketeers" was arranged by the gourmet Zhang Tao.
This guy who once wanted to publish a paper restaurant review magazine is indeed much better than Cheng Zhu in the food industry.
When Cheng Zhu and Yue Lingjing got out of the car, Zhang Tao was standing outside the winery smoking and greeting them.
When he saw the two people getting out of the car, he immediately put out his cigarette and his eyes lingered briefly on Yue Lingjing.
"Huh, I've never seen this person before." He said in his heart.
Previously, when he went to the Youcha headquarters, he had a very deep impression of Shen Qingning.
Zhang Tao is knowledgeable and experienced. What kind of beautiful women has he not seen?
But even so, from his perspective, he felt that the girl was impeccable in every aspect.
Now, there is another one who has both good looks and temperament, and with a different style.
After thinking about it carefully, Zhang Tao felt that this was normal.
"Speaking of which, at Cheng Zhu's age, I haven't seen him play with cars or watches, which is actually quite unreasonable."
"If he has no interest in the opposite sex, then he is really too indifferent." Taozi thought to himself.
Anyway, when he first became rich, his material desires were inflated!
This is human nature!
"Zhang Xuhao hasn't arrived yet?" Cheng Zhu said as he walked towards Zhang Tao.
"No, he said the road was blocked and it would take another ten minutes." Zhang Tao said with a smile, "Let's go in first and sit and wait for him."
"Row."
The three of them sat down in the small box.
Zhang Tao came alone and didn't even invite the co-partner of [Dianping].
When Zhang Xuhao walked in, he also came alone.
This made Yue Lingjing, who was still a female college student, feel a little uncomfortable, and she felt even more cramped.
But fortunately, she was a quiet girl. With her looks and temperament, even if she sat there without saying a word, everyone thought it was reasonable because she looked like that kind of person. When Haozi came in, just like Taozi just now, his eyes stayed on Jingjing for a moment, and then he quietly raised his chin towards Chengzhu, giving him a look between men.
Cheng Zhuze shook his head imperceptibly and returned a look that was only given by men.
After receiving it, Zhang Xuhao realized that he could not make fun of them anymore.
Everyone started eating first. As usual, we didn't talk about business at the beginning, we just tasted the food and drank.
This is Zhang Tao’s favorite part because his taste is always affirmed.
After three rounds of drinks, everyone started talking about business.
"Half of the people from Baidu Takeout have already left, and Gong Zhenbin will probably leave next month as well," Zhang Xuhao said directly.
Gong Zhenbin was originally the CEO of Baidu Takeout. After its merger with , his departure was only a matter of time.
This is a common rule in the industry, especially in the Internet industry.
"His self-operated logistics has basically entered our [transportation capacity pool] now." Zhang Xuhao replied.
Hearing this, Cheng Zhu asked, "The efficiency is a bit too fast, and your movements are a bit too big. Is this going to cause a lot of shock? Is there something wrong with Gong Zhenbin?"
"I get angry when you mention this!" Zhang Xuhao said unhappily.
He directly picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in it.
"They are just playing badly right now!"
"During these few months, delivery efficiency has been extremely low, and the complaint rate is several times higher than before!"
"This is equivalent to directly leading to the loss of market share!"
"You really have guessed everything!" Zhang Xuhao looked at Cheng Zhu.
As early as the beginning, Cheng Zhu said that Baidu Takeout would probably start to mess up.
At the beginning of the merger, both parties promised each other that they would take the dual-brand operation route.
This point was raised by Baidu Takeout.
But what is the result? How long has it been?
Before, we still acted like we wanted to retain the last bit of "dignity", and we were reluctant to give up our own brand and wanted it to continue to exist.
After a few months, it has become so rotten!
Zhang Xuhao even found it a little unbelievable!
Cheng Zhu was well aware of the many virtues of Baidu.
Once something goes wrong internally, the collapse will happen very quickly!
Yue Lingjing listened quietly and digested the content.
"Did Mr. Cheng guess this in advance?" she thought.
As she continued to spend time with Cheng Zhu, her admiration for him grew day by day.
"He always seems to be able to make accurate predictions." This is what Yue Lingjing finds most amazing.
Cheng Zhu raised his hand, patted Haozi's shoulder gently, and said, "Don't feel unlucky."
"It's already the final stage. We and the rice group are basically going to start the battle with bayonets."
"There's nothing we can do about the loss of market share. After all, even if I had anticipated this in advance, it would have been useless because during the negotiations, Baidu insisted on operating a dual-brand business in the future. As a result, they started to destroy their own reputation." Cheng Zhu shrugged.
At present, it seems that they have completely given up on the O2O market.
Those bold words that were shouted out at the beginning, such as investing hundreds of billions to develop O2O, have now become a joke!
At the dinner table, Cheng Zhu and Zhang Tao briefly comforted Zhang Xuhao, and then began to discuss some plans for the next two months.
Yue Lingjing listened at the side. She understood some of what was said, but was confused by some of it.
People are always weird. If Yue Dongyi showed these things, Yue Lingjing wouldn't think there was anything wrong because he is the elder.
But Cheng Zhu is our schoolmate and our peer.
"He knows so much." Such thoughts came to her mind again.
She looked at Cheng Zhu's profile as he spoke. For some reason, she sometimes felt that he was really radiant.
This classical girl recently began to understand why Luo Xi and her senior sister both had a crush on him.
At 8:30 in the evening, Hu Yan received a WeChat message from Yue Lingjing.
"Senior sister, we are done here, let's go back to the hotel."
"Ok."
She knew it was almost time for her to leave.
Big Fat Ass is still the same. When going out, he will wrap himself tightly, wearing a loose sweatshirt, and even his hands will be covered by the sleeves.
But there is something fishy about what she's wearing today!
The Magic City is very big, and the high-end apartment where she lives, rented by Cheng Zhu, is nearly an hour's drive from the hotel.
When she arrived at the hotel, Cheng Zhu and Yue Lingjing had already checked in and were resting in their room.
The homely painter sent a WeChat message to her junior sister, asking her to come downstairs to pick her up, but she didn't have a room card and couldn't get into the elevator.
After the two girls entered the room, Yue Lingjing was considerate enough to take out slippers for her senior sister.
"I'll change it when I wash up later." said the chubby fox.
She didn't dare to change her shoes now because she was afraid that her junior sister would discover her secret.
If she took off her shoes now, her feet wrapped in black stockings would be exposed.
Today, she wore a pair of loose blue jeans under her loose sweatshirt.
The legs of the jeans were very long, and the cuffs covered the entire heels of the canvas shoes, almost dragging on the ground.
But even inside this pair of jeans, there is a pair of suspender stockings that tightly wrap around the round legs.
(ps: I’m back. The Shanghai exhibition is so fucking busy!
Ask for monthly ticket~)
