90: Chapter 90 Business Drinking Party
"Stop talking nonsense, he is someone even your father cannot afford to offend!"
"Damn, who is that powerful?"
"Didn't you see who is sitting next to him?"
The Second Generation Rich finally saw clearly and collectively gasped in cold air.
Not long after, many people came to Chen Hao's table one after another; they were all CEOs of large companies and major Groups, and there were even uncles, elder uncles, and fathers of the Second Generation Rich.
The reason Chen Hao could invite them was because the CEO Training Class had always wanted to find an opportunity to gather with Chen Hao.
It just so happened that Chen Hao wanted to settle everything today: raising shareholders for the women's clothing brand company, developing the APP project, and the new media short drama business—all of these required money to get started.
It wasn't that Chen Hao couldn't invest, it just didn't fit his style of doing things.
When the CEOs arrived, the hierarchy in the hall changed.
Glasses were raised and clinked, and light shone as they mingled.
The CEOs called over their disappointing younger relatives present, introducing them to Chen Hao one by one; Young Master Xiao, who was just there, was among them.
"CEO Chen, I was blind not to recognize you. I offer this glass to you."
After Chen Hao clinked glasses with him,
"Happy Birthday."
The CEOs chatted with each other in a half-joking tone.
"They are all young people. Look at CEO Chen, and then look at our disappointing juniors. People really are incomparable."
"I think as long as the silly kids don't start businesses, whatever mischief they get into doesn't matter."
"Even if they want to start a business, they have to ask the right person."
Previously, Young Master Xiao's booth was the liveliest; now, Chen Hao's booth had become the focus of the entire venue, with almost everyone gathered nearby.
"CEO Chen, which projects are you currently optimistic about?"
Finally, someone brought up a relevant topic, and Chen Hao immediately seized the opportunity to continue the conversation.
"Actually, I really did bring a project with me today."
Chen Hao didn't speak himself; he let Sun Nana report.
Sun Nana had long been honed by Chen Hao, and her eloquence was quite good. She chattered away, mentioning that they had just acquired a piece of software and planned to build a new media platform.
When this topic came up, the young people stopped yawning and listened intently as Sun Nana explained the business opportunity.
Chen Hao guessed correctly; older people were not very interested in this type of new project. Only these Second Generation Rich were interested.
"Manager Sun, why don't you move to another area and chat with the young people?"
"Let's go, come to our table."
Just like that, Sun Nana was pulled away by the Second Generation Rich.
At this moment, only Zhang Menglu, who couldn't find a graceful way to leave, remained by Chen Hao's side.
She also needed to raise investment and find partners today, but she simply didn't know how to bring it up, nor was she as adept as Sun Nana.
Looking over at Chen Hao, he was already discussing serious business with the bosses.
"I want to place an order for a batch of blade servers first to build the basic infrastructure."
"You've found the right person. Our electronics factory produces servers."
Chen Hao clinked glasses with the electronics factory boss.
Over in the distance, Sun Nana was the focus, also being flattered, clinking glasses, chatting cheerfully, and handling things with ease.
As Chen Hao's apprentice, Sun Nana had deeply absorbed his true teachings. In such an environment, she showed no stage fright, and since they were all young people, they had many topics to discuss.
Once she started talking, she couldn't stop.
It was Zhang Menglu's first time attending a high-end business banquet with Chen Hao, and she simply couldn't adapt.
Especially since the senior bosses found the main hall too noisy and took Chen Hao to a VIP private room.
Well, with beauties accompanying them, they were even receiving kneeling service.
Zhang Menglu was deeply shocked once again.
A stunning beauty, as delicate as a flower and as heavenly as an immortal, was kneeling to serve him tea and pour drinks, intimately accompanying Chen Hao for drinks. The more she looked, the more uncomfortable she felt.
Zhang Menglu couldn't stay any longer. When she walked out of the hall, Sun Nana was already mingling freely with the Second Generation Rich.
"The new media short drama is the trending project this year. To achieve results, I ask for everyone's continued support. I toast everyone!"
Sun Nana tilted her head back and downed the wine in her glass.
This earned cheers and applause from all the Second Generation Rich.
"My family owns hotels; we can contribute them for you to use for filming."
"My family has a resort villa; that can be contributed as well."
Zhang Menglu pulled Sun Nana aside and cautioned her in a low voice.
"You're a young lady, do you really have to drink like that?"
Sun Nana was unconcerned.
"People who put on airs can't do sales. In the past, I was as shy as you, too worried about maintaining my composure, but slowly I got used to it."
Zhang Menglu still couldn't get over this hurdle in her heart and asked quietly,
"If your boyfriend was in sales and acted like this, could you accept it?"
Sun Nana spoke eloquently.
"Why couldn't I accept it? It's not shameful to make money!"
Sun Nana put an arm around Zhang Menglu's shoulder.
"Men, being greedy for money shows they have ambition. Being greedy for money and lust is their nature."
"If you care about that, then find an honest man—one who does exactly as you say and obeys your every command. Such a man will never achieve great things in his life."
Zhang Menglu remembered her ex-boyfriend from college—his timid and hesitant mannerisms made him seem not at all like a man.
Men are bad, and women love them.
It was men like Chen Hao that she was more attracted to.
"Fine, I will try to adapt."
Because of Sun Nana's unintentional actions, Zhang Menglu's last mental block was resolved, and because of these words, her thinking also underwent a subtle change.
When Zhang Menglu returned to the private room, she mustered up her courage and then imitated Sun Nana, starting her self-introduction.
"Hello, everyone. My name is Zhang Menglu, and I am Chen Hao's girlfriend. It is my honor to meet so many great bosses at once. I toast all the bosses."
While drinking, someone remarked,
"I've seen you before. You were always assisting Lecturer Chen when he was teaching."
Chen Hao quickly clarified.
"Don't misunderstand, my girlfriend is not my assistant. She also runs a company and is currently cooperating with a factory in Guangcheng to create an international brand."
"Pardon my rudeness."
With Chen Hao's endorsement, the bosses lowered their guard and drank the toast with Zhang Menglu.
Chen Hao's objectives were achieved: free rent, use whenever needed, and when purchasing one million servers, the factory would provide the best quality, absolutely excellent value.
Sun Nana got too drunk; Chen Hao didn't know how her negotiations went, and Zhang Menglu's results in raising investment were not very ideal.
It was very late when they left. Zhang Menglu supported the inebriated Sun Nana as they left the private club.
Although Chen Hao drank a lot, he didn't feel any drunkenness.
For safety, he still hired a designated driver. On the way back, Sun Nana was already unconscious.
"What should we do if she's this drunk?"
Chen Hao said casually.
"It's fine. We can get her a room at the hotel where we are staying."
And so, they settled Sun Nana into the hotel.
After the two returned to their room, Zhang Menglu handed Chen Hao a wet towel.
"Today I finally understood one truth: business is not something ordinary people can do."
Chen Hao wiped his face and said with a wry smile.
"Your performance today was already excellent!"
Zhang Menglu didn't think so. Not to mention compared to Chen Hao, she couldn't even compare to Sun Nana.
"Please stop praising me. I know very well what my capabilities are."
Chen Hao beckoned Zhang Menglu over to his side.
Chen Hao held her and said,
"People always have to learn to grow. Remember what I'm about to say; understanding it will be of great help to your future."
