Chapter 787: Chapter 523: Cheng Zhu and Shen Qingning’s Wager_2
I won’t say anything else, but at least it’s a feast for the eyes.
At this moment, Ningning looked at his expression, her brows slightly furrowed, her cold demeanor becoming more pronounced, and asked, “You seem really happy to hear this news?”
“Of course,” Cheng Zhu replied immediately.
He turned the direction of his executive chair a bit, his eyes looking out the floor-to-ceiling window. Alibaba was conveniently located in that direction.
“Mr. Wang is going to hit a snag today, of course, I’m happy,” he said with a wide grin, his smile bright and splendid.
Shen Qingning: “Are you that sure?”
“Why not? That’s just Alibaba’s style,” Cheng Zhu commented on this local giant of Hang City.
Having said that, he no longer looked out the window, adjusted his chair back to face Ningning, and continued speaking:
“This could truly lead to the situation developing as I’ve anticipated.”
Shen Qingning said in surprise: “You’re so certain that Meituan will get help from Tencent? That doesn’t make sense.”
“You don’t believe it?”
“I just think it’s unlikely.”
Cheng Zhu joked to himself: That’s because you don’t know how savvy our ‘neighbor Wang’ is!
While thinking such thoughts internally, his tone was one of dissatisfaction: “What’s there not to believe? Want to make a bet with me?”
The normally prideful woman didn’t usually respond to provocation, but Shen Qingning had been bullied by this jerk too many times, so she replied, “First, tell me what you’re willing to bet.”
“Wow!” Cheng Zhu laughed at her response, but his suggested bet was the kind of simple one commonly made among guys: “If you lose, you call me ‘big brother’.”
He looked self-satisfied, his mouth skewed to one side, even sticking up his thumb, as if it were a matter of great honor.
“You’re sick,” the cold girl muttered under her breath.
See, women just don’t understand the value in a man’s eyes of this term ‘brother’!
Damn, it’s a top-tier bet, right?
“What if I win?” she countered.
“Then I’ll call you ‘big sister,’ of course!” Cheng Zhu replied as if it were a given.
Ningning again: “You’re sick.”
Unexpectedly, Cheng Zhu spread his hands and directly stated: “Actually, I don’t mind. If I lose, you can choose the terms.”
He acted as if he held the winning hand with absolute certainty.
Shen Qingning looked up at him, scrutinizing him for a few seconds before finally agreeing: “Fine.”
Having said that, she rose and left Cheng Zhu’s office.
Cheng Zhu watched her graceful exit, already filled with anticipation.
“That haughty woman, with her icy demeanor, she’d rather die than call me ‘brother,’ huh?”
Fun, Ning Bao is damn fun!
The jerk was eagerly looking forward to that day, just thinking about it made him thrilled.
Of course, Mr. Wang, preparing to stab Alibaba in the back, had no idea he’d inadvertently become part of their bet.
He was now adjusting his mentality.
And what kind of mentality was it?
This “Little Ma Yun” had a bit of Lv Bu’s mindset.
Lv Fengxian’s famed moment quoted: “How can a true man linger beneath others between the heavens and the earth!”
To hell with Alibaba, my foster father!
But he wasn’t foolish; he knew he couldn’t immediately burn all bridges.
Moreover, from the current situation, even if he wanted to defect to Tencent right away, it was impossible.
After all, Alibaba had participated in the previous rounds of financing.
If you carry the scent of Alibaba on you, Tencent won’t take you in.
So, today wasn’t about defecting; it was about discussing collaboration.
Wang Xin had prepared to open a gap, to complete the first step of his plan, and then, gradually scheme the rest!
It must be said, at this moment, Mr. Wang was somewhat like a typical male protagonist in novels.
Considering his recent experiences and the massive entity he was planning to backstab… even urban fiction protagonists might not dare write such audacity!
I, the new guy, will repay all the grievances suffered at Alibaba!
Upon arriving at the Tencent building in Shen City, he once again channeled Lv Bu, his actual intentions nearly a scene out of Lv Bu’s playbook:
“Having drifted for half my life, I only regret not having met a wise master earlier. If you do not forsake me… I wish to serve as your adopted son!”
Interestingly, when he went to Alibaba headquarters in Hang City, the weather was cloudy, the sky oppressive, making it hard to breathe.
Yet when he arrived at Tencent in Shen City, the sun shone gloriously bright.
After taking a deep breath, Wang Xin, with Murong Jun, stepped inside.
Truth be told, Tencent was quite baffled.
Tencent: Who? Who’s looking for me?
My little brother’s business rival, Wang, what do you want?
With regard to the current situation in the [group buying] and [delivery] markets, Tencent was extremely pleased.
Youu Tea’s joining had brought significant buzz, with high talkability and traffic.
When Tencent invests, they’re really open to all sorts of categories; they even invested in Hey Tea in Cheng Zhu’s past life.
Tencent had high hopes for Cheng Zhu, very high indeed.
The kid was pretty good; even though he was from Hang City, he didn’t side with Alibaba, and just for that, he was quite admirable!
At this moment, Cheng Zhu was subtly becoming the top post-’95 figure!
The future was, after all, for the young.
Tencent has high hopes for you~
Then, when Tencent finally met with Wang Xin, they were somewhat stunned.
Good grief, this “Little Ma Yun,” does the “Ma” in your name stand for our Little Ma from Shen City?
As Lv Bu reincarnate, ‘Wang Fengxian’ declared: I’ve made a decision against my ‘ancestral’ wishes!
His approach to Little Ma was to suggest one thing: My Meituan wants to integrate Tencent’s WeChat Pay!
Alibaba: Traitor! Traitor!
Damn, we asked you to make Alipay the single third-party payment channel, and not only do you refuse, but you also want to bring in WeChat Pay?
Little Ma was also a bit at a loss about how to deal with the situation.
