Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 170: Wine doesn’t make people drunk, people get drunk
On a brightly lit rooftop on the Bund, the view is wide, with the beautiful scenery of the Bund and the Huangpu River in sight, as well as the unremarkable Oriental Pearl Tower.
A small party was held here, with men and women of all kinds gathering together.
Zhou Dongsheng didn’t know whether it was upper-class or not, but this location must be very expensive. A very down-to-earth thought flashed through Zhou Dongsheng’s mind.
Zhou Dongsheng leaned against the railing, feeling the comfortable river breeze, and watched with interest as people clinked glasses and chatted happily. For those who don't drink, they naturally cannot experience the fun.
Don't try to force yourself to fit in if you are not in the same circle. Even if you try hard, you may not be able to fit in. Zhou Dongsheng, who came here with Principal Wang, has at least become a familiar face.
At the same time, a lot of contact information has been accumulated in the mobile phone. Although they are just casual acquaintances at present, you never know when they may be useful. Networking also starts with getting to know people.
Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng's eyes couldn't help but fall on a person, a man hailed as the "Emperor of Shanghai" by netizens. Hard work does not necessarily mean wealth, but Qin Feng is really rich.
Some gossip that he knew couldn't help but turn around in his mind, such as Qin Feng's mysterious background, and his style and hobbies that were completely different from those of Principal Wang.
Although both of them are top young men and have a special liking for female internet celebrities, unlike the female internet celebrities that come and go around Principal Wang, Qin Feng only likes to be a "Cao thief."
Just like Principal Wang's high-profile style, some people speculate that it is because his father implemented the old saying of "raising children in poverty" and concealed his wealth, causing him to suffer a lot when he was studying abroad in his early years.
After returning home and knowing his family's background, he began to engage in "retaliatory" behavior, and Mr. Qin's preference for a good wife might have been influenced by his childhood.
After all, for most people, the influence of childhood lasts almost throughout their lives. The lucky ones can be healed by their childhood, while the unfortunate ones spend their entire lives making up for the shadow of their childhood.
As far as Zhou Dongsheng knows, Qin Feng will fall into trouble because of this hobby in the future, and successfully become a father, causing quite a stir.
However, Zhou Dongsheng only knew about the occurrence of such an incident at that time, and he treated it as celebrity gossip. He was just a spectator and had no idea about the specific time and progress of the incident.
Zhou Dongsheng secretly took note of this matter. If there was a chance in the future, maybe he could make use of it. If not, forget it.
However, one has to admire the woman's methods for being able to play Young Master Qin in the palm of her hand.
In this regard, Zhou Dongsheng could only sigh that the circle was really chaotic. But now he was considered half an insider, right?
"Dongsheng, come and play. Why are you standing there like an idiot?" Principal Wang shouted over here.
"Coming." Zhou Dongsheng walked over with a smile and met Master Qin's eyes. They both smiled and nodded.
I don’t know why, but Mr. Qin felt that Zhou Dongsheng’s eyes were meaningful.
"I heard from Principal Wang that you are also planning to invest?" Qin Feng took the initiative to talk with interest.
During the brief chat just now, Principal Wang praised Zhou Dongsheng, this younger brother, which also made Qin Feng slightly interested.
"I just made a little money in the stock market and wanted to practice in the primary market." Zhou Dongsheng said calmly.
"Do you already have a goal? I'm also an investor in Shanghai. Can you tell me so we can discuss it together?" Qin Feng asked curiously.
"It's a gaming company that just transformed into an e-commerce platform. I thought it was interesting so I came to learn more about it."
It’s not that Zhou Dongsheng wants to hide it, but talking about deep things with people you just met is a big taboo in social relationships.
What's more, for Zhou Dongsheng, this is a matter involving hundreds of billions of US dollars of wealth, which is also a business secret, so there is no harm in hiding it.
"Are there still companies that want to build e-commerce platforms? That's a bit difficult, after all, the industry is already saturated." The person next to him interrupted.
"Even Tenda has not built up its e-commerce platform. This area has become Alibaba's private territory. I think this investment is quite risky." Another person also shook his head and judged.
"I haven't invested yet, I'm just trying to understand it." Zhou Dongsheng smiled slightly, feeling a kind of happiness that summer insects cannot imagine.
It is precisely because everyone thinks it is not possible that Pinxixi’s success is particularly precious, otherwise it would not be Zhou Dongsheng’s turn to come and seek opportunities.
In fact, it won’t take long before Pinxixi will receive strategic investment from Tenda.
So, we still have to race against time.
"Let's just drink. There's no need to talk so much." Principal Wang smiled and changed the subject, raising his glass. This insignificant episode was just passed over.
Although Zhou Dongsheng doesn't drink, Li Jiana's alcohol tolerance is truly extraordinary. It's obvious at first glance that she's an experienced socialiser.
As the glasses clinked, he remained calm and smiling, as if the wine had just been poured into his dimple.
Although there are countless beauties tonight, Li Jiana's aura is not inferior at all. Compared with some vases who are just labeled as internet celebrities or socialites, she has the aura of "a man of culture and elegance".
After three rounds of drinking, everyone was drunk, so Zhou Dongsheng simply stood up and said goodbye. Principal Wang, who was in high spirits, threw the key to Zhou Dongsheng.
"Let's use this car to get around in Shanghai first. It will be convenient to have a car to do things." Although he was drunk, Principal Wang said without any confusion.
"Okay, then have fun. I'll take my leave now." Zhou Dongsheng said with a smile.
Li Jiana, whose face was slightly flushed, looked even more charming and attractive. She gracefully took Zhou Dongsheng's arm and they left together.
As soon as she entered the elevator, Li Jiana softened a little, leaned on Zhou Dongsheng, and murmured, "Boss, I'm fine, I'm not drunk."
After drinking, Li Jiana became more and more charming. Zhou Dongsheng, holding her in his arms, couldn't help laughing. Why was it his turn to take care of the assistant?
However, although the beauty was tall, she was as light as a feather. When they arrived at the parking lot, Zhou Dongsheng easily stuffed her into the passenger seat, then navigated to the hotel and drove there.
The driving experience of the Rolls-Royce is extremely smooth and very comfortable, especially when the cars on the road stay far away from you and take the initiative to give way. Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but sigh that the quality of the people in this Magic City is really high.
Perhaps the car was too stable, and when they returned to the hotel, Li Jiana had fallen into a deep sleep. Zhou Dongsheng could only hand the car keys to the hotel staff to park the car, and he held her in his arms like a princess.
Then he got into the elevator amid the envious gazes of the hotel staff.
In the elevator, there was an indescribable aroma lingering on the tip of my nose, as if it was a mixture of alcohol and perfume, pleasant and intoxicating.
He came to Li Jiana's room, took out her room card, opened the door, and threw it on the bed. Li Jiana didn't react at all during the whole process, it seemed that she was really drunk.
Zhou Dongsheng settled the person down and left the room. After all, the only difference between a drunk person and a corpse might be the temperature.
No matter what, Zhou Dongsheng would not be so hungry that he would eat anything, especially since he had important things to do tomorrow.
As soon as the door closed, Li Jiana in the room opened her eyes faintly and muttered in annoyance, "Oh, did I overact?"
