Chapter 2461: Chapter 2255: I Have What They Don’t_4
"Director Zhou, I actually planned to talk to you about film advertising placement, but it seems you’re not really interested. In that case, I’ll just go find Director Zhang Gangyi." Wang Siqi reached out a hand to touch his flat little belly and said to Zhou Yuanzhi.
"This..." Zhou Yuanzhi looked at Wang Siqi with some difficulty, then turned his head to secretly glance at Song Xiaodong.
Song Xiaodong’s face was calm, his emotions stable. He noticed Zhou Yuanzhi was finding it hard and stealing looks at him, so he kindly said to Zhou Yuanzhi: "Director Zhou, you should go talk business with CEO Wang. You have business to discuss, there’s nothing for CEO Wang and me to talk about. I can just take a walk by myself."
The purpose of Zhou Yuanzhi’s visit this time was to see if big shots like Wang Siqi and Niu Yun could be potential investors in his next film.
So upon hearing Song Xiaodong’s words, he immediately changed his stance, siding with Wang Siqi, bowing and standing hunched over by Wang Siqi’s side, squinting his eyes into slits, he said to Wang Siqi: "CEO Wang, I’m here specifically to find you and Mr. Niu, how could you say I’m not sincere? Since Mr. Song wants to be alone, we should not disturb him."
"Hmm." Wang Siqi looked at Song Xiaodong’s solitary figure and knew his aim to isolate him had been achieved.
"Director Zhou, is this Mr. Song your friend?" Wang Siqi asked Zhou Yuanzhi.
"Yes." Zhou Yuanzhi nodded emphatically to show he valued what Wang Siqi said.
"What does he do?" Wang Siqi asked with some annoyance.
"He’s an investor, has all kinds of industries under his name, and is also a physician." When Zhou Yuanzhi mentioned Song Xiaodong, he felt very proud to know such an accomplished friend.
Seeing Zhou Yuanzhi’s attitude made Wang Siqi feel even more uncomfortable. He couldn’t help but roll his eyes at Zhou Yuanzhi and said: "An investor with such a high and mighty attitude? Which of the bosses here isn’t a tech company giant?"
"CEO Wang, don’t be angry..." Zhou Yuanzhi quickly tried to calm Wang Siqi’s mood.
But Wang Siqi didn’t listen to Zhou Yuanzhi at all. He turned his head again and said to Ma Jiayi and Wang Shangjin: "Isn’t he just a small investor in local Minghe? You both stood there silently, not even kicking out a fart!"
"CEO Wang, I think exactly as you do. This Song is so temperamental. It’s like they in the real industry have an inexplicable sense of superiority, as if everyone else has to flatter them for them to be happy." Wang Shangjin was secretly pleased; this was the situation he wanted between Wang Siqi and Song Xiaodong.
"Boss Niu only thinks about money. Even when dealing with someone as arrogant as Song Xiaodong, who looks down on everyone, he can calmly sit down and talk business, with no backbone or spirit. CEO Wang Siqi, on the other hand, is not like that. So what if you’re in the real industry? So what if you have money and status? If Wang Siqi doesn’t like you, he will deal with you!" Wang Shangjin thought to himself with a sense of satisfaction.
Wang Shangjin is the head of a subsidiary under Niu Yun, so he loyally fawns over Niu Yun. Since his master was humiliated by this Song, Wang Shangjin had to find ways to make up for it elsewhere.
But Ma Jiayi was different. He simply wanted to make connections with Niu Yun; they had an equal business relationship. Although he had previously flattered Boss Niu, he wasn’t dependent like Wang Shangjin. Besides, he had seen Deputy Director Zhang showing great respect to Song Xiaodong yesterday and heard their conversation, knowing Song Xiaodong was definitely not ordinary. There might be some unimaginable background behind him. Thus, his attitude towards Wang Siqi wasn’t as quickly altered as Wang Shangjin’s.
"CEO Wang, this Mr. Song actually has quite a background..."
Chapter 2258 A Significant Background, So What
Ma Jiayi wanted to tell Wang Siqi that even Boss Niu needed to be polite to Song Xiaodong, but Wang Siqi had no patience to listen and interrupted Ma Jiayi directly: "So what if he has a significant background? We’re all businessmen, making money through legitimate deals. If you’re upright, you don’t fear the slanting shadows; if your feet are straight, you don’t fear crooked shoes. So what if he has a significant background? Does that give him the right to act so superior?"
"And taking a walk on his own, the nerve." Wang Siqi looked in the direction Song Xiaodong wandered off. If no one else were around, he surely would have spat on the ground.
"Director Zhou, I can’t not say this. Although we haven’t met much before, I still know about your character very well. The news reports all say that you’re well-versed in social interactions and have good relationships, which is a virtue, but also a flaw. There are classes among people; you can’t just make friends with anyone. Take this friend of yours surnamed Song, for instance. With some money and status, he doesn’t know how to conduct himself anymore?" Wang Siqi criticized Zhou Yuanzhi like a teacher reprimanding a student.
"CEO Wang, it’s not like that..." Zhou Yuanzhi wanted to argue but was cut off by Wang Siqi again.
"Now e-commerce is so hot and profitable. Though it’s a new industry, its prospects are limitless, while investments in the real industry are essentially a sunset industry. It might seem to have vast enterprises now, but they’re all built on the real estate bubble. Should the housing market collapse one day, no matter how much wealth you have, it could evaporate overnight. What’s there to be boastful about? While us in the internet industry just need to get into a company, at most, like Boss Niu, buy an office building, but our income is much more stable than those in the real industry!" Wang Siqi rattled off a string of words as if he were firing a machine gun.
