Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 665 - 6: Someone Takes the Lead

"Ah, President Wu!"

Secretary Xu approached with a wine glass, full of smiles.

Fatty Wu turned his head, his bald head also turning, reflecting a beam of light under the illumination.

Upon seeing Secretary Xu, his expression was not very pleasant:

"Oh, Secretary Xu!"

Although he called out to Secretary Xu, he had no choice but to speak kindly with the person, which, for him as a president, was quite helpless.

But... who made him a downstream supplier?

The whole family relies on the Zhou Group to make a living, and with Hanqi Intelligence thriving, they also want to join in for a sip of soup, so they have to do their job even more thoroughly.

However, in the business world, of course, whoever is capable is the boss.

With that thought, Old Wu’s chubby belly jiggled a couple of times, and in an instant, he balanced his mood.

In a certain sense, he truly is a businessman.

As for President Xie, whom he left mid-conversation...

Come on, just because someone is lustful doesn’t mean they’re foolish.

With means like Xie Rongzhao’s, Old Wu quite appreciated them, but it didn’t prevent him from looking down on him.

To say it, one generation is indeed worse than the previous one.

The earlier President Xie, although a bit conservative and used some underhanded tactics, did things with real gumption, and there were aspects worthy of appreciation and praise.

But for some unknown reason, within just two or three years, Old Xie passed away, one of his good sons broke a leg, and another is in a mental hospital. The one born from Little Three ended up being the biggest winner...

Look at these tactics, they truly aren’t presentable.

While Old Wu was exchanging pleasantries with Secretary Xu, he suddenly caught the dark eyes of Xie Rongzhao and that lingering smile on his lips, causing an inexplicable shiver down his spine.

In fairness, Old Xie was quite fair to his sons, apparently giving them shares when they reached adulthood, so the family atmosphere was actually quite good...

This can’t be happening!

The more he thought it couldn’t be, the faster Old Wu’s heart beat.

Just as Secretary Xu was thinking of chatting more with him, he took the opportunity to make a swift exit, not even caring about Lingling, whom he had his eyes on earlier.

—He has money, what kind of girl can’t he find? Besides, Old Wu’s taste is quite ordinary; in fact, he dislikes celebrities for being too skinny, not good to the touch...

Ahem.

This isn’t something to be discussed in detail.

However, the young girl Lingling, standing there, smartly realized her current situation and carefully glanced at Xie Rongzhao beside her, eventually secretly sighing in relief.

...

Actually, speaking in terms of net worth, President Xu’s assets are pretty similar to the Xie Family’s.

But unfortunately, he is in manufacturing, while the Xie Family, ever since Young President Xie took charge, has been employing one marketing scheme after another, all castles in the air, and when it truly comes to value, the Xie Family is slightly inferior.

This is one of the reasons why Xie Rongzhao, as the host of the banquet, still has to painstakingly nurture relationships with everyone at this moment.

—In the new world, with new business methods, he finds it somewhat challenging to truly adapt.

Seeing this fat man swiftly leave him aside, a trace of anger flashed in Xie Rongzhao’s eyes.

If it were in the past, such an unrefined businessman wouldn’t even be able to knock on the door of the Marquis Mansion, but now...

Considering that he himself is just a low-level businessman, the frustration welled up more inside Xie Rongzhao.

But at this moment.

He could only pick up the wine glass and smile as he spoke to Secretary Xu:

"Haven’t seen you in a while, Secretary Xu. Make sure to enjoy the banquet tonight!"

The Zhou Group, initially dominant locally, didn’t rank as top-tier nationwide.

However, in the past year, it developed rapidly, and in this high-tech, down-to-earth crushing industry, it has become a giant.

But reportedly, President Zhou’s youngest son has now started infiltrating the company to seize power, and with Old President Zhou, it seems there’s going to be quite a tug of war.

As Old Zhou’s trusted aide, if he could form a connection...

As the wine swirled, Xie Rongzhao had a lot on his mind.

"Indeed, indeed." Secretary Xu laughed heartily.

Then he slightly shifted his body: "Our chairman is also here, but for now, he can’t get away over there, so he specially asked me to come over and say hello first!"

The pleasantries must be done properly, after all.

"President Xie, organizing such a banquet must have been a lot of effort!"

Having said that, his eyes subtly glanced at the still-nervous Lingling.

With just a glance, Xie Rongzhao, who is meticulous, immediately sensed it.

He smiled: "Mr. Zhou is my elder, it’s only right I go to pay my respects... Lingling, come, let’s go meet Mr. Zhou of Hanqi Intelligence together!"
