Chapter 792: Chapter 524: Shen Qingning, Willing to Accept the Loss in a Bet_3
Zhang Tao and Zhang Xuhao started exchanging thoughts upon hearing those words.
It was as if, in front of Cheng Zhu and Shen Qingning and from the perspective of the founders of Dianping and Ele, they were having a little eting.
The two of them played off each other, even starting to speculate about ituan’s next move.
“Wang Xin must be most worried about financing next.”
“He should probably get in touch with Alibaba again soon, and then also connect with institutions like Red Mountain Capital.”
“As for Red Mountain, we might be able to get so inside information…”
Zhang Tao said this to Zhang Xuhao, then suddenly turned to Cheng Zhu and asked, “Last ti you inferred… oh, hahaha, I guessed it! I guessed it so accurately, want to try guessing again?”
Cheng Zhu did not hold back; he just glanced at Shen Qingning to see if she, looking slightly flushed from the alcohol, was watching him.
“Oh, she’s watching; let’s get started,” he thought to himself.
Cheng Zhu then turned to Zhang Tao and Zhang Xuhao and said, “I think Wang Xin might start burning cash at an extre rate, taking advantage of the sumr vacation to get ahead into the final battle.”
“Hmm?” Zhang Tao frowned slightly.
The sumr season is definitely a crucial battleground where everyone ramps up their spending.
But to launch a final battle ahead of ti… he wondered what gave Wang Xin the audacity!
“Is it because he just secured WeChat Pay?”
“Whether Alibaba will continue to support him is still an unknown,” the two thought.
Zhang Tao looked at Cheng Zhu and asked, “Can you explain in more detail how you ca to that conclusion?”
However, Cheng Zhu’s response almost made him twitch a corner of his mouth.
“I can’t explain in detail, it’s just like last ti… purely a guess!”
Sitting to his left, Shen Qingning wanted to laugh.
She even thought, “If Jiang Wanzhou were here, he probably wouldn’t be able to resist rolling his eyes at him.”
This ti, just like before, although Cheng Zhu had beco the Think Tank, it was the “Think Tank: Sumr Howork Edition.”
He was like the answers to many sumr howork assignnts that only gave a result, without any explanation of the reasoning.
Give a break; if I explain everything in detail, doesn’t it look like I’m not cool?
Why do wise people love to speak in riddles, why do they speak only half sentences, why do they like to give just an inexplicable answer?
Because babbling on endlessly is just like hanging out gossiping at the village entrance.
Just guess it yourself.
At this mont, Cheng Zhu was still laying traps.
He was hoping to rely on Tencent for a short ti.
So, he wouldn’t let Wang Xin keep backstabbing Alibaba and switch to Tencent’s embrace through cunning maneuvers.
In this process, Zhang Tao made the worst decision of his life, and Zhang Xuhao beca a sacrificed piece, eventually having to rely on Alibaba and finally losing control over his own company after being fully acquired by Alibaba.
These two Zhangs combined were no match for Wang next door!
Wang, having failed in entrepreneurship nine tis, had now truly mastered his skills.
But it was precisely because they were weaker that Cheng Zhu, who otherwise held no value if he sided with ituan, saw his opportunity.
They needed his heavenly intercession.
Guidance completed, Zhang Tao and Zhang Xuhao would surely be thoroughly convinced.
From then on, Wang Xin felt he was sitting across the table from Zhang Tao and Zhang Xuhao.
In reality, sitting invisibly behind them was Cheng Zhu!
…
…
An hour later, the four of them left the private room.
Zhang Tao, born in the ’70s, could hold his liquor well, drinking heartily without any issue.
Cheng Zhu had a naturally good tolerance for alcohol, and although he drank less after being reborn, he didn’t drink much tonight.
On the other hand, Zhang Xuhao seed a bit tipsy.
Then there was Shen Qingning.
Her state seed a bit off.
There were only four at the table, and no one could avoid drinking.
Now you toast , then I toast you, then everyone drinks together… it was impossible to drink less.
Both Zhangs, wanting to show sincerity, thought they should drink more.
Cheng Zhu and Ningning would certainly need to return the gesture to the platform founders.
This led to Cheng Zhu’s first action after getting into the car being to ask Ningning, “Did you drink too much?”
She frowned slightly, exhaled a long breath, and admitted, “A bit.”
After all, it was strong liquor.
“You didn’t actually have to drink; it’s alright,” Cheng Zhu said.
“It’s okay, I know my limits,” Shen Qingning leaned back in the car seat, her gaze drifting out the window.
Since they both had drunk, they did not return to their company and had Little Wang, the driver, take them ho.
First dropping Shen Qingning off, and then Cheng Zhu.
Hang City was big, and from the place where they ate to the Shen family ho, it was a full half-hour’s drive.
Along the way, they exchanged only a few words, mostly remaining silent.
He deliberately avoided making conversation, aware that she was not adept at small talk.
The quiet atmosphere in the car made her daydream more.
Many people feel even drunker when riding in a car after drinking.
Although Cheng Zhu remained silent, he kept glancing at her from the corner of his eye.
He saw Shen Qingning resting her head against the back of the seat, looking out the window.
Seizing the opportunity, Cheng Zhu started openly staring at her.
He always thought that Ningning looked particularly alluring after a few drinks.
That started the ti when they ended up kissing in the back seat of a Land Rover.
The usually aloof girl presented a striking contrast then, her drunken charm unbearably enticing.
For soone beautiful, even her hair seed particularly well-behaved, slightly tilting her head, a few strands of her long hair adding a touch of elegance.
At that mont, her eyes were sowhat hazy, staring at the outside traffic getting increasingly blurry.
After straightening her head, her peripheral vision imdiately caught Cheng Zhu watching her.
Cheng Zhu, the rascal, opportunistically turned his head away as if not wanting her to catch him staring.
This detail annoyed Shen Qingning for so reason.
“Why are you watching ?” she suddenly asked.
“I’m checking if you drank too much,” Cheng Zhu confidently replied.
“I didn’t,” the aloof girl answered.
“You just said you did when you got into the car,” Cheng Zhu ntioned.
Her lips pursed, annoyed, unwilling to engage with him on this topic, she insisted, “I didn’t.”
Cheng Zhu glanced at the partition between the front and back seats of the business car, knowing that the sound insulation would prevent their conversation from being heard by Little Wang.
Thus, he slightly leaned over, this ti genuinely and openly ogling her wine-flushed face.
He kept looking, intently looking.
She wasn’t sure why, but having drunk and sat silently in the car earlier, and now with him constantly watching her, Shen Qingning felt increasingly irritated.
“What now,” the annoyed beauty said, turning her head towards him.
“Did you forget sothing?”
“What?”
It was then Cheng Zhu grinned broadly and said:
“You lost the bet, fair is fair, you have to call ‘big brother’.”
