Su Jing glanced at the people around Fu Hongxue, and it was when he saw the middle-aged man standing behind him with a face full of flesh and yellowed teeth that he couldn’t help but pause.
The middle-aged man instinctively avoided Su Jing’s gaze but quickly regained his composure, keeping his eyes fixed and paying no attention to Su Jing.
Su Jing felt that the middle-aged man looked familiar. After a moment of contemplation, he remembered his name— Ma Tao. He was a nouveau riche in real estate and he had once visited Qingyun Town with the intention of investing in its tourism industry.
He specifically called Shi Qing, who was still a tour guide at that time and now the spokesperson for Zilan Perfume, and even had improper intentions towards her, and he behaved quite arrogantly at that time.
However, he was frightened away by Wang Zhuo, who was working at the Vibrant Great Seafood Restaurant at the time, and Zhao Jun, who was serving as a waiter as an apology to Su Jing.
After that incident, Su Jing had never seen him again, but now they unexpectedly crossed paths once more. It seemed that Ma Tao was now associated with Fu Hongxue.
Su Jing didn’t say anything to Ma Tao. He withdrew his gaze and said to Fu Hongxue, “Mr. Fu, I actually came here specifically for you. There’s something I want to discuss with you.”
“Please go ahead,” Fu Hongxue said with a pleasant smile on his face.
“I’ve been conducting research and development on engines and automobiles recently, but I’m still a beginner and there’s a lot I don’t understand. As the top automotive group in the country, the Fu Family’s Honghe Corporation Group must have many talented professionals in this area. I wonder if I could borrow a few of them?” Su Jing requested.
“I thought it was something more significant. It turns out to be such a small matter. No problem, no problem,” Fu Hongxue chuckled, appearing quite easygoing.
However, his tone suddenly changed as he spoke. “But there’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If you want to gain something, you must be willing to pay. As a businessman, I don’t like losing money.”
“Naturally, we can discuss the price,” Su Jing nodded and said.
“No, no, we’re both quite rich and are called Young Masters by the netizens. It’s meaningless to discuss such a small amount of money when we meet,” Fu Hongxue said, shifting his tone. “What I mean is, let’s discuss something more significant, like allowing me to invest in the Galactic Corporation Group’s Artificial Intelligence company.”
“That can be arranged, but I don’t handle the internal affairs of the company, and I’m not well-versed in business matters. I can inform our board of directors and general manager of this and you can discuss it with them,” Su Jing replied.
At first, Su Jing’s words sounded agreeable, but upon closer consideration, it was nothing more than empty talk. Fu Hongxue couldn’t possibly fail to see through it.
He narrowed his eyes slightly but quickly regained his smile. Currently, Galactic phones were incredibly popular, with daily sales almost surpassing those of Apple.
The Artificial Intelligence technology of the Galactic Corporation Group had also become highly sought after, not only for phones but also for various other industrial applications as well.
This was something that major companies were competing for. It was inconceivable for the Galactic Corporation Group to easily share such a valuable piece of technology with others, and Fu Hongxue knew that.
A casual conversation wouldn’t grant him a piece of the pie. Su Jing’s willingness to inform the board of directors and general manager and provide a slight opportunity was already quite good.
“In that case, I have one more small request…” Fu Hongxue leaned in closer, lowering his voice as he spoke of his request. “Please don’t laugh at me, Mr. Su, but I’ve admired the beauty Yin Ningning for a long time. I wonder if you could arrange for us to meet?”
Fu Hongxue spoke casually, and it was as if it was a common occurrence for him.
Many peripheral women, and even some well-known celebrities, had accompanied him for drinks or even spent the night with him. However, when Su Jing heard this, the smile on his face disappeared.
…
“I’m sorry, Yin Ningning is not available for a date and even if she were then I can’t really help you with anything. If you want to meet her then you’ll have to prove yourself to her,” Su Jing said in an even tone as the smile disappeared from his face.
Even a fool could tell that when Fu Hongxue mentioned inviting Yin Ningning out, it wasn’t just a simple dinner invitation and contained something more in it.
While many people might consider sacrificing a female star from their agency to befriend one of the Four Young Masters as a profitable move, but Su Jing saw it as a violation of his principles, not to mention that he absolutely hated this kind of thing.
Some people, in pursuit of success, reluctantly conform to certain hidden rules and compromise their integrity. But Su Jing disdained such actions and had the confidence not to stoop to that level.
“Mr. Su, you must be joking. Yin Ningning was discovered by you and brought into Cloud Sound Entertainment Company. You have a close relationship with the CEO, Wang Siya. How is it possible that you can’t even arrange a simple meeting with Yin Ningning? Unless she’s your woman?” Fu Hongxue expressed his displeasure.
In his eyes, Su Jing held complete control over Yin Ningning’s future, so how could he fail to arrange a meeting? He considered the possibility that Yin Ningning had already been kept by Su Jing.
The thought left him feeling unhappy in his heart. Ever since he saw Yin Ningning’s videos, he was captivated by her beauty and voice. He didn’t just view her as an unattainable beauty.
He wanted to have her, or at the very least, he wanted her for a few encounters. It was frustrating for him to see such a stunning woman being treated as Su Jing’s forbidden fruit that he cannot get.
“She is not my woman; she’s just a rising star I’ve promoted. But as I said before, if you want to meet her, prove yourself to her and stop talking about that to me. Let’s focus on the main topic,” Su Jing replied as he still tried to get the conversation under control.
Fu Hongxue didn’t fully believe Su Jing’s words. In his worldview, if Su Jing didn’t secure Yin Ningning exclusively, she wouldn’t refuse to accompany him for a drink.
Even if Su Jing did have control over Yin Ningning, if he only treated her as a plaything, she wouldn’t refuse to meet others. Unless Su Jing considered her a potential future wife.
