Chapter 123 Chapter 124 [Love rivals become jealous when they meet]

After leaving Yuanhe Newspaper, Li Wendi immediately called Chen Xingzhou to make an appointment.

After being on good terms with Chen Xingzhou and giving him benefits so many times, I finally have the chance to let Chen Xingzhou repay me.

"Mr. Chen, how are you these days? I heard that Changheng Real Estate Company is preparing to issue new shares again." Li Wendi greeted with a smile.

Chen Xingzhou laughed and cried, "That's just a theory. We still have to see how the market reacts and the results of the investigation. Mr. Li, you know how difficult it is."

"Haha!! In any case, this is also a good prospect." Li Wendi knew almost everything about the new shares, but from Chen Xingzhou's tone, it seemed that he didn't want him to get involved.

"Mr. Li, are you in such a hurry to find me? Do you have any good business to introduce?" Chen Xingzhou didn't want to dwell on the topic of new stocks, so he changed the subject.

"My business is gone, and I would like to ask Mr. Chen for a favor. I wonder if he is willing to do me a favor?" Li Wendi poured himself a cup of tea.

Chen Xingzhou hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse and said, "Mr. Li, please tell me first. I may not be able to help you."

"Mr. Chen, do you know the He family from Yuanhe Newspaper?"

"The He Zefeng family of Yuanhe Newspaper?! I know this person, but I'm not very familiar with him." Chen Xingzhou frowned and asked, "Does Mr. Li want to take over the He family?"

Li Wendi shook his head and told the story in a simple way.

"Mr. Li has set his sights on a member of the He Zefeng family. I have heard about this in the circle." Chen Xingzhou hesitated for a moment, and then said, "The He family has very strict requirements for marriage partners. After all, they are a family of scholars. Although you are not bad, Mr. Li, it is probably difficult for you to catch the He family's eye."

"Everything depends on human effort! Mr. Chen, is there any way for me to get into this party?" Li Wendi didn't want to discuss with Chen Xingzhou whether he could become the son-in-law of the He family. He just wanted to stop this blind date first. If they really fell in love, it would be even more difficult to deal with.

"It shouldn't be a problem." Chen Xingzhou said seriously, "But Mr. Li must follow the rules here, otherwise everyone will lose face."

Li Wendi knew what Chen Xingzhou meant and told him not to cause trouble at the party because he was brought in by Chen Xingzhou and any bad incident would affect Chen Xingzhou's reputation.

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen. I know the rules, and I also need to leave a good impression on the He family."

Chen Xingzhou nodded. He believed that Li Wendi was a rational person. "Okay, I'll contact him and notify Mr. Li as soon as I have any news."

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Xingzhou called and said that things had been settled and asked Li Wendi to attend the banquet at 8 o'clock at the Xiangjiang Club. He would wait for Li Wendi at the door of the club.

Xiangjiang Club at night
The basement was filled with all kinds of luxury cars, and only Li Wendi's car looked shabby. However, Li Wendi did not think he was inferior to others, because he had earned all this money through his own hard work in a year. Compared with those rich second generations, he was more confident.

He lost everything and can start from scratch again, while those rich second generations are likely to become a puddle of mud.

Chen Xingzhou and Li Wendi were both wearing suits, but Chen Xingzhou had a better temperament, while Li Wendi was more confident, and they seemed to be equally good.

When they reached the floor where the party was held, Chen Xingzhou signed in first to register. Li Wendi ignored him, not because he didn't know how to do it, but because there was no need.

In the banquet hall, men and women in formal attire gathered in groups of three or four, chatting leisurely. Occasionally, they would cover their mouths and chuckle, seeming to be very happy. However, Li Wendi's eyes were darting around, searching for He Qijun.

"Mr. Li, don't worry. Miss He should not be here yet. It's only around 7: now." Chen Xingzhou reminded.

"Mr. Li, look over there. The man in the plaid suit is Miss He's blind date. His name is Liu Jingqi, and he is the third-generation heir of Sanqianchi Co., Ltd." Chen Xingzhou briefly introduced his opponent.

"Three thousand feet?! What is the main business? How big is the scale?" Li Wendi touched his chin and asked with interest.

The first feeling that this name gave Li Wendi was the poem "A waterfall plunges three thousand feet straight down". The Liu family seemed to have some culture, and the company seemed to be a newspaper or something like that.

"The Liu family is involved in a variety of industries, including newspapers, magazines, printing, real estate, and clothing. The assets of Sanqianchi are worth about 1 million yuan. They are also planning to separate their real estate and prepare for listing." Chen Xingzhou said. "Then please help me collect information about the Liu family's preparation for a listed company." Li Wendi smiled cunningly, maybe it can be useful, maybe not.

"Okay. If Mr. Li is short of funds for this matter, remember to tell me." Chen Xingzhou also wanted to get some profits from the Liu family.

"Haha!! Mr. Chen wants to get involved, I couldn't ask for more." Li Wendi was not short of funds, but was worried about the Liu family's complicated network of relationships. Bringing Chen Xingzhou on board could offset some of the disadvantages in this area.

"Mr. Li, I can't take your leading position. I'm just an investor." Chen Xingzhou said with a laugh. It was obvious that he only wanted the benefits and didn't want to be blamed.

"I will naturally take the lead, but if there is any gossip, Mr. Chen must inform me in time."

"Of course." Chen Xingzhou saw that the cooperation was reached verbally, so he said, "Do you want to go over and meet Liu Jingqi?"

Li Wendi nodded slightly, "Then I'll go and see how powerful Liu Jingqi is."

So, the two of them began to approach the crowd with somewhat playful expressions on their faces.

"Everyone, what big business have you been busy with recently?" Chen Xingzhou greeted with a bright smile. Li Wendi followed beside him with a glass of champagne in his hand.

"Haha!! Isn't this the boss of Changheng Real Estate Company? How come you have time to come to the party today?"

"Master Chen is one of the best young people in Hong Kong. He definitely doesn't want to play with us anymore."

Several rich second-generations were teasing Chen Xingzhou, but they did not mention a word about Chen Xingzhou's attempt to seize family assets. It was obvious that they all had a good relationship with Chen Xingzhou.

"I run a small business, how can I compare with you guys." Chen Xingzhou said modestly, then looked at Li Wendi and introduced, "Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Li Wendi, the owner of Xingguang Real Estate Company."

Li Wendi also complimented these second-generation rich people, and was humble.

"You were Mr. Chen's previous partner, right?" the second-generation rich man with a flat head asked thoughtfully.

"Yes." When talking about this, Li Wendi felt that the rich second generation with a flat head had bad intentions.

Hearing the affirmative answer, the rich second generations looked at each other in bewilderment. Li Wendi's method of seizing the family assets was too ruthless, which they rejected. Another reason was that Li Wendi did not succeed, and they were worried that if the family knew about it, it would affect their position.

Seeing this, Chen Xingzhou spoke to calm the rich second generations, so that Li Wendi could stay.

Liu Jingqi glanced at Li Wendi several times, his expression a little unnatural, "I heard that Mr. Li has business cooperation with Yuanhe Newspaper?"

"Yes. Is Mr. Liu also interested?" Li Wendi asked with a faint smile.

Liu Jingqi shook his head and said, "Sanqianchi is doing very well and does not need to introduce investment. However, Qijun and I are friends and I know Qijun's abilities. There shouldn't be any unexpected situations in your cooperation. I will also do my best to help you if there are any problems."

Liu Jingqi's words were clearly warning Li Wendi not to have any bad intentions towards Yuanhe Newspaper, and that he could support the He family.

Chen Xingzhou frowned slightly, but Li Wendi smiled and said, "Cooperation is cooperation. What unexpected situations can there be? Does Mr. Liu hope that there will be any unexpected situations? Can Mr. Liu be a hero and save the beauty?"

"Mr. Li, please don't misinterpret what I mean. If you don't understand, you can think about it slowly. There is no need to rush to answer." Liu Jingqi was making fun of Li Wendi's low cultural level.

"I'm not a very educated person, but I do know some etiquette." Li Wendi continued, "Mr. Liu's family is in the writing business, how can you express it so unclearly? If there is any hidden meaning, you might as well say it directly."
