"I’m not really interested in such big events," Wu Bin said without much enthusiasm, and there was little change on his face as he spoke.
He Bingbing didn’t understand, "Most of the people here are famous figures; if you could get on good terms with them, it would be pretty good for your future development."
"If a partnership is possible, why don’t you go for it?" He Bingbing looked somewhat baffled by Wu Bin’s refusal of such a great opportunity that lay right before him.
He Bingbing couldn’t quite grasp Wu Bin’s thoughts, always feeling that Wu Bin was a deep thinker, considering everything thoroughly in many matters.
About these things, he always had his own opinions.
Even having spent many years at Wu Bin’s side, He Bingbing felt he still couldn’t fully fathom Wu Bin’s thoughts.
Facing Wu Bin, he could only stand aside and wait for Wu Bin’s response. If Wu Bin didn’t wish to explain, then He Bingbing would be left to his own devices, trying to figure out what was going on.
"They’ve got to think highly of me for it to work, you know. I’m just gradually coming into the public eye through live streaming. Those self-made bosses probably don’t think much of someone like me."
"They started from scratch, building everything up bit by bit. So what am I? Can I even mix in with them?"
Wu Bin was somewhat self-aware; he wouldn’t dare to indulge in wishful thinking about things he shouldn’t daydream about. Better not to get carried away and end up disappointed when the other party offers nothing in return.
Isn’t that just embarrassing myself?
Such affairs, if one can avoid getting involved, it’s best not to foolishly meddle.
He Bingbing suddenly understood and immediately grasped the meaning in Wu Bin’s words. Yet he also pondered; if the other party was self-made, they must have had hard times in the past.
As long as one does not steal or rob, maybe they would actually admire Wu Bin for his young age and already having so many fans, making him a well-known existence to many?
The big bosses are great, but isn’t Wu Bin just as admirable?
Zhu Ling, however, thought that Wu Bin was overthinking it.
"I remember you always being confident. How come you’re doubting yourself today?" Zhu Ling jokingly commented from the side, finding Wu Bin’s reaction more amusing than he had expected.
Wu Bin glanced at him with an indifferent look, "Come on, with all that’s going on, you still have the mood to tease me?" Wu Bin was both amused and helpless with them, but after only a brief glance, he turned his attention back to the invitation in his hand, still deliberating whether to attend today’s event or not.
Clearly, they wanted him to attend.
Attending such events can be quite tiring.
Wu Bin hesitated for a bit, but ultimately decided to go.
Ning Qiuling had put together the event, and to secure Wu Bin’s attendance, he had stayed up for several long nights, finally finalizing all the details at the last moment.
The majority of the content had been continuously assessed and revised through various versions before the grand introduction.
They had been preparing for two days straight.
Two days were actually not enough, but there was no other choice. Ning Qiuling, sticking it out, had worked hard for a long time to solve many problems.
Experts gathered here.
During the banquet, many well-known big bosses were invited. With appropriate smiles on their faces, they were approaching Wu Bin, who had been gaining considerable fame recently—who didn’t know about him?
Inevitably, there would be a few individuals with ulterior motives, always looking to take advantage of the opportunity and drag Wu Bin into the traps they had dug.
A man held a wine glass, giving Wu Bin several admiring glances up and down, seemingly satisfied with what he saw, and said appreciatively,
He praised, "No wonder you’ve received so much praise recently; there seems to be good reason." The man, who had been sizing up Wu Bin, found him more likable with each look.
For someone so young to have such achievements, the future of this boy in front of him seemed boundless. If he could form a good relationship with him, perhaps future developments would be even better.
The man in front of him had a pair of inverted-triangle eyes, and when his gaze fell on Wu Bin, Wu Bin couldn’t help feeling that there was something unsettling about it.
It was as if the man had a deliberate calculation in mind.
This feeling definitely made Wu Bin uncomfortable. Yet, Wu Bin didn’t call him out on it and merely looked at him with a faint smile.
Even though being stared at so directly was quite annoying, Wu Bin couldn’t do much when the other party hadn’t done anything egregious in front of him except to tolerate it.
"I’m very impressed by the strength of this young gentleman, and my company is currently expanding. I was wondering if you’d be interested in joining my company?"
"As long as you’re willing, we would welcome you anytime. What do you think?" He extended a sincere invitation to Wu Bin, hoping to involve him in his company’s activities right away.
Wu Bin wasn’t interested in what he suggested and naturally declined him outright.
"Sorry, I’m not interested at the moment."
Wu Bin spoke candidly, wanting to make it clear to the other party that he truly had no such intentions. Yet the man wouldn’t give up, hoping to seize another opportunity to have a serious discussion, tempting Wu Bin to reconsider and hesitate.
"There’s no need to rush your rejection; after all, there’s still plenty of time to consider. I hope you’ll think it over carefully, and if you’re interested, you can talk to me anytime about all aspects of a partnership. As long as I have time, I’ll definitely sit down with you for a good chat!"
He elaborated with Wu Bin, delivering a solemn invitation, now just hoping for Wu Bin’s agreement.
But Wu Bin’s intentions were clear, and he decisively turned down the invitation as usual.
"Sorry, but I currently have no such plans, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to collaborate with you," Wu Bin said as his smile faded.
If the other party continued to insist on cooperating, Wu Bin would genuinely become angry.
Wu Bin rejected him once more with finality.
"I truly don’t have any plans to collaborate with you at the moment, and if there’s nothing else, let’s consider this matter closed."
"We can talk about any issues later. As for now..." Wu Bin was essentially issuing an expulsion order, not wanting to engage in further discussion.
As smart as the other party was supposed to be, a couple of hints should have made Wu Bin’s stance clear to them.
