Chapter 750: Chapter 509: Green to the Point of Panic_2
“What?”
“My… ex-wife, she’s now working at a venture capital firm that’s invested in [Paipai].” Zhang Sixing’s expression grew a bit stiff when he ntioned this person.
“Hmm? What a coincidence?” Cheng Zhu found it very surprising.
[Paipai] is a short video platform that has just started to gain popularity not long ago.
It’s a bit of a mix of features from [ipai] and [Miao Pai].
It received $40 million in funding two months ago, and its prospects look promising, with daily active users surging and so minor celebrities starting to post videos on the platform.
Overall, it’s not taking the sa approach as the short video platform that Cheng Zhu and his team are working on.
But as both are in the short-video space, they will inevitably be market competitors.
“She was already working in venture capital, just at Linxin Capital in Hang City before, but now she’s run off to Shanghai, and it just so happens that this institution invested in [Paipai] a while back. I took note of that,” said Zhang Sixing.
“Her position isn’t senior, is it?”
“It’s not, just an ordinary employee, an investnt manager.”
In VC firms, the title of investnt manager may sound impressive, but it is really just an ordinary position.
Like Cheng Zhu, who now deals directly with the partners of venture capital firms, or at least directors general managers like Wang Zeng.
Investnt managers, in his view, are nothing special, just ordinary wage earners.
“Do you still keep in touch with her?” This was the part that surprised Cheng Zhu the most.
After all, she had given birth to two kids, neither of whom were Zhang Sixing’s. This woman had shattered Zhang’s faith to the point where he resigned from his big-company job and went on a round-the-world trip.
It’s important to rember that these two kids, several years apart in age, were both conceived after the couple had discussed and planned to have children.
In other words, she told Zhang she wanted kids, then during those periods, she had unprotected relations with other n.
All of this could be said to be “the task of the master,” within the realm of possibility.
“Of course, I’ve never taken the initiative to contact her, but for so reason, she started sending ssages a while ago, sharing her recent life, and that’s how I found out she’d gone to work at Tianyun Capital in Shanghai.”
“Oh, I get it, she wrote you a little essay,” laughed Cheng Zhu.
Zhang Sixing paused for a mont when he heard “little essay,” then he roughly caught on to the aning.
“What is her purpose, then?” Cheng Zhu asked.
“I don’t know; I didn’t respond, so there was no further conversation,” Zhang replied thodically.
“That’s good, not replying. Let the past be the past; let’s look forward, right?” Cheng Zhu smiled at him as he abruptly changed the topic: “Has Susu stopped bringing you love-packed dinners to the company recently?”
Zhang Sixing, well, even after working with him for so long, is still the kind of honest guy who gets a bit embarrassed after a few teasings.
His cheeks reddened slightly as he answered, “She ca by the day before yesterday and is coming this afternoon too.”
“She’s quite sensible and considerate, huh,” said Cheng Zhu.
Susu is also an internet celebrity at Ancient Mountain Culture, originally brought in by Zhu Youwei to sing together.
Cheng Zhu was well aware that Zhang Sixing was the only child of Dean Zhang’s family, now past thirty, still… childless.
Ah, a man without kids of his own, but with a wealth of experience taking care of pregnant won and being Daddy!
Absolutely first-rate, just outstanding!
However, with soone like Susu, the chances of no outco between the two would be higher.
But in Cheng Zhu’s view, life is long, and so people may just be destined to accompany you for a part of it.
As long as everyone is mostly happy in the process and there are no debts or regrets, then that’s already a good deal.
Many people might think that soone like Zhang Sixing, a green giant, needs to be taken out to ss around and live it up to get over his past.
But Cheng Zhu knew clearly that wasn’t the case.
Those who have played know that in special cases like his, after the frenzy and the intoxication of wealth, one falls into a more terrible void and pain.
He might even grow to despise and hate won more.
Because his wife hurt him.
ssing around like that, he would also feel that these people were just after his money or sothing; the result would not be good.
That’s why Cheng Zhu asked Zhu Youwei to bring in a group who were understanding at the ti.
He wanted ones who could provide an effect like steady, trickling water in life.
Coincidentally this Susu also looks like his first love from his school days.
Man, coming to the company to bring homade love-packed dinners, how is that any different from his school days when his first love would bring milk or soda to the classroom door for him?
If that wouldn’t work, that would be really odd!
After chatting a bit more, Zhang Sixing left Cheng Zhu’s office.
Cheng Zhu leaned back in his office chair, looking up at the ceiling of his office, muttering to himself:
“Tianyun Capital and [Paipai], huh?”
“Kind of interesting.”
…
…
Hang City, a certain internet celebrity coffee shop.
Zhang Qiqi and Susu were taking photos together inside the shop, accumulating Weibo content.
The two won got along very quickly because they both had needs from each other.
It was a common rumor within Ancient Mountain Culture that this web celebrity and school belle was soone Cheng Zhu had brought in, a senior with a deep connection to him, soone who had provided him with a lot of help in the past.
And Susu’s relationship with soone who appeared to be a senior executive in Cheng Zhu’s company was no secret at Ancient Mountain Culture.
As soon as Zhang Qiqi joined Ancient Mountain Culture, she followed many of the internet celebrities in the company.
For people in the sa company, mutual promotion is a very common practice.
She signed the best contract, and the top internet celebrities in the company would also cooperate in funneling traffic to her.
