Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

Chapter 317 Dinner Party

After Xu Xing finished answering the questions, he put down the audience's microphone.

What he meant was very clear. Don't focus all your attention on him tonight. The protagonist should be Bizhan in financing.

After all, the reporters came in and received small gifts, and everyone understood this tacitly.

Mr. Xu reported his information so generously. Everyone was shocked and had already passed on the news.

In other places that could not be seen at the scene, there was already a huge commotion.

At this point, the accuracy of the message no longer matters.

What matters is speed!

For such breaking news, just a headline can draw people in.

Just write down the content in one go.

Qunxing Company is already a hot topic, and the mysterious Mr. Xu always appears in people's mouths and fantasies online.

Nowadays, fantasy has fallen into reality, and it is even more fantasy than reality.

After just briefly confirming the accuracy of the information, many media outlets have already published articles immediately.

The press question and answer session in the hotel has not yet ended. Weibo is already abuzz. In just about 20 minutes, the news about "The true face of the mysterious Mr. Xu of Qunxing Company" has become one of the top ten trending searches.

And as time goes by, it is still climbing steadily upward.

Xu Xing was not too concerned about this.

With his current identity, once he is exposed, he is destined to be firmly locked in the spotlight.

After such a long period of digestion and the emotional impact, he no longer cares much about this aspect.

You can treat it with a normal mind.

There will inevitably be various controversies and public opinions at that time, and he is already mentally prepared for it.

The rest is none of his business, and the public relations department under the company's legal department is not just a job.

After finishing the questions just now, the subsequent reporters focused on Chen Rui and asked many questions.

Although many people still put their eyes and attention on Xu Xing from time to time, no one would deliberately get into trouble.

If you are older, you may still care about the scene.

Twenty years old...it is the age when you are in your prime and full of enthusiasm.

Who knows what kind of temper this young Mr. Xu is.

The question and answer session ended at around six o'clock in the evening.

The host announced that the financing agreement signing ceremony was successfully completed.

Everyone applauded.

The reporters were satisfied with getting a lot of news materials and left one after another.

There were also people who were thinking about what might happen and refused to leave the venue even after it was over. Some people even asked loudly if they could conduct a separate in-depth interview with Xu Xing.

Xu Xing naturally ignored all this. When he got up and walked to the lounge, he just glanced in the direction of Yan Chijuan uncontrollably.

The two people's eyes met again in mid-air, and they immediately avoided it like lightning. Those who didn't know it thought it was some secret signal from the underground party.

After all the reporters left, the host said to the remaining people who came to watch the signing ceremony: "There will be a buffet dinner in Hall 2. Everyone is welcome to enjoy it."

The buffet dinner is in a Western style, with a long table filled with various dishes for you to take at will.

Everyone can walk around and talk to each other at will. It is not so much a place to eat, but a place for interpersonal communication, network expansion, information exchange and interest exchange.

Xu Xing is not very interested in this kind of thing, mainly due to the suggestion made by He Suifeng of Greenwood Capital.

Chen Rui and Pei Qinglan also thought it was good, so Xu Xing accepted the proposal and had a dinner arranged.

"Xu Xing, you are really awesome now."

Li Zhibin, who had been paying attention to the situation in the lounge, saw him coming back and said with a sigh, "From now on, I will be everyone's husband."

"What's wrong?"

"Just look at Weibo and you will know." Li Zhibin pouted, "A bunch of people are shouting that they want to give you a monkey."

"Normal phenomenon." Xu Xing chuckled.

Nowadays, a lot of people still call Lao Ma Ma’s father. In ten years’ time, everyone will call him Ma.

It is a social norm to despise the poor and love the rich, and Xu Xing is not going to get carried away by this kind of thing.

"You's hot search has just reached third place, and I feel like I'm not far from reaching the top." Li Zhibin continued, "Many rational people are saying it's impossible. Now that the press conference is over, they all have yours.

Attending photos, there should be a wave of slaps in the face soon."

"If you pay attention to this kind of thing, you might as well think about how to celebrate the Chinese Valentine's Day later." Xu Xing tidied up a little and prepared to go to the dinner party to fill his stomach.

Li Zhibin followed him, still holding his mobile phone in his hand to pay attention to the situation.

With the first wave of hot pictures sweeping across, the situation has slowly become one-sided.

Those are the main types of comments on hot searches.

One is shock and disbelief, suspecting that the media is pulling a stunt.

The second one is a mindless carnival person, shouting that he wants to give birth to a monkey for Xu Xing, but secretly he doesn’t know whether it is a boy or a girl.

There are also many Min University students who have nothing to do during the summer vacation and surf the Internet.

[At first glance, I saw that Mr. Xu is from Min University. I thought to myself that the seniors in our school are really awesome! When I looked closer, I thought, haha... isn’t this a junior?!]

[Damn Xu Xing! Isn’t he the founder of Eat Me Takeaway? The entire co-authorship of the stars belongs to him? This is too outrageous]

[You may not believe it, but I can testify that it is true. Mr. Xu slept on the bed opposite me last year]

[Freshman year! Freshman year! I watched it more than a dozen times before I was sure! Ahhhhh! Junior junior, junior junior, what do you think, senior? 】

Of course, there are also doubts.

[Twenty-year-old unicorn founder? Isn’t he just a puppet who is pushed to the forefront again? 】

[Just take a look at this. People who believe it are really stupid. They are fake at first glance]

[I understand. I originally had a good impression of Qunxing and Tianshu Games, but you told me that the boss is a twenty-year-old freshman? This is not a joke]

[It’s disgusting. What kind of big family makes things for their children? Is this how gold plating is done? You don’t even understand the principle that things must be reversed when they go to extremes? 】

[If this is true, I don’t believe that Xu Xing’s family has no background. I guess a lot of problems can be found by just checking.]

When Li Zhibin saw this, he couldn't help but clicked his tongue and wanted to retort.

But at this time, he had already entered Hall 2. Xu Xing directly pressed his cell phone and stuffed it back into his pocket: "Go and follow your sister Yuanyuan, and help keep the alcohol out of the way tonight."

"What about you?" Li Zhibin asked.

"Don't worry." Xu Xing took a glass of red wine from the passing waiter, "If I don't want to drink, no one here can force me to drink more."

"Tsk." After hearing such pretentious words, Li Zhibin, who originally wanted to help speak online, now just hoped that the scolding person would be more forceful.

However, he still reminded: "Many people say bad things about you online. Should our public relations department do something?"

"It doesn't matter if you are chasing conspiracy theories," Xu Xing said. "There will always be so-called independent people who are self-admiring and willing to believe in opinions that go against the public's thinking in order to show that they are independent and independent in the world."

"This kind of thing is unavoidable, just get used to it."

"My request to the public relations department is quite simple. Just don't cause trouble for the company. Staying calm is more important than anything else."

Xu Xing estimated that he would only keep a high profile for a while.

When this wave of craze passes, he will not go out of his way to accept a variety of interview programs, nor will he do anything new and original, nor will he say things like "I'm not interested in money" in public.

It is better for people to be self-aware and keep a low profile.

Especially since he comes from a gaming background, it is probably a certainty that he will be scolded by his parents in the future.

"Is this a trouble for public figures?" Li Zhibin couldn't help but sigh, "It's quite uncomfortable to be scolded like this. I can't stand it just looking at it."

"That's why I said before that I don't want to reveal my identity just yet." Xu Xing shook his head and laughed, "Under the spotlight, flowers and eggs will only hit you at the same time. The former is confusing, and the latter is frustrating."

"If you cannot face these two calmly, you are destined to not go far in the public sphere and problems will arise sooner or later."

Li Zhibin nodded with emotion: "Then why are you willing to come forward and expose it this time?"

"If you are mentally prepared, you won't be so scared." Xu Xing shrugged, "Let's go, eat something to cushion your stomach first."

The two people came to the long table with wine glasses and grabbed something to eat casually.

As the person who was the focus of everyone's attention, Xu Xing didn't have much time to spare, and soon someone came up to chat.

Seeing that he could handle it, Li Zhibin silently backed away, and while eating, he found Yao Yuanyuan's side.

Yan Chijuan, who had just followed Pei Qinglan upstairs and changed into a decent dress, took about twenty minutes before entering the dinner venue with Pei Qinglan.

At this time, there were already many people in Hall 2, and it was difficult to find the person you were looking for immediately at first glance.

But Xu Xing's side was too conspicuous, and Yan Chijue still saw him at a glance.

Although Xu Xing did not deliberately walk to the center of the venue, he just found a relatively remote place to eat.

But with him as the center of the circle, a crowd like the solar system formed around him.

Everyone has a tacit understanding, and two or three people who are familiar with each other are in groups, holding wine glasses and coming forward to chat.

They didn’t say much about business matters, they just made themselves familiar, exchanged business cards, and even directly added WeChat messages.

There are also entrepreneurs who sneak in in the name of friends and want to attract investment, and sincerely seek Mr. Xu's help.

No one should look down upon Xu Xing just because he is young.

At their level, they are not so brainless in looking at problems, and being able to achieve Xu Xing's level in a short period of time does not mean that they have a background behind them.

Although many people have already acquiesced that Xu Xing must have had local support from the Shanghai stock market for a long time, and later made it clear, they will not deny Xu Xing's own abilities.

At least no one who has come into contact with him so far would think that he is just a stupid young man in his early twenties.

"Mr. Xu."

Pei Qinglan took Yan Chijuan all the way to Xu Xing's side.

At this time, He Suifeng was chatting with Xu Xing and Chen Rui, not only talking about the subsequent development of Bizhan, but also specifically talking about Douyu Live.

Both parties understand each other's needs, and Xu Xing is also happy to help connect Cheng Shaojie.

As for whether the financing can be achieved by then, it depends on fate and sincerity.

"Mr. Pei, good evening." Xu Xing raised his glass, clinked it with Pei Qinglan, and took a sip of red wine.

After a few people chatted for a while, He Suifeng and Chen Rui walked aside, leaving space for their two acquaintances.

Others around him also kept their distance sensibly, but they were always looking over there from the corner of their eyes.

"Nowadays, the stars are getting better and better. I did make a mistake at the beginning, and I still feel regretful about it." Pei Qinglan chuckled and mentioned the past in the Internet cafe.

Xu Xing also recalled it, but the content of his memory was related to the girl following Pei Qinglan.

Perhaps the best time after his rebirth was when he had not yet made any money and even had to pay his salary.

"I have to thank Mr. Pei for sponsoring the box in the first place." Xu Xing sighed, "Without the support at that time, there would be no stars in the future."

"Then you have thanked one less person." Pei Qinglan chuckled, then pretended to be incompetent and covered her mouth, pulling Yan Chijiu forward, "I forgot to introduce you, this is my secretary Yan Chi

Jealousy, just call her jealousy."

"Yes." Xu Xing and Yan Chijue both looked a little unnatural, but they had to remain normal in front of everyone, "Miss Yan, it's nice to meet you."

"Me too." Yan Chijiu lowered his head, not daring to look at Xu Xing. He just raised his glass and touched him politely.

Rarely, Xu Xing raised his head and drank all the red wine in the glass. The empty glass was placed on the table: "I'm a little hungry, let's eat something more."

He saw Yan Chiju and Pei Qinglan go straight here after coming downstairs, obviously not eating.

"Well, let's eat something to cushion our stomach. This way we won't get drunk easily." Pei Qinglan followed suit.

Yan Chijuan, who took a sip of red wine next to him, nodded obediently. He looked at the empty wine glass that originally contained a lot of red wine, and felt an inexplicable itch in his heart.

In the past, when Xu Xing was toasting to others, he would either touch his lips to show his appreciation, or take a small sip and finish.

This is the first time tonight that I drank it all in one go.

After noticing such small details, Yan Chijuan's heart was aroused and a little upset. He quickly picked up a small piece of steak and stuffed it into his mouth to suppress his messy thoughts.

…

The dinner lasted from 6:30 pm to around 9 pm.

Even if he only took a small sip at a time, after a night, Xu Xing still felt like the wine was sloshing in his stomach with every step he took.

After realizing that he was already a little drunk, Xu Xing stopped drinking, declined the last guest, waved his hand and left the dinner venue.

Walking into the corridor, I came to the bathroom, went to the toilet and came out. After washing my hands, I happened to bump into Yan Chiju who was coming out of the toilet.

Xu Xingben was a little drunk, so he couldn't control his body and bumped directly into Yan Chijuan's side.

After he came to his senses, he quickly helped Yan Chijue's shoulders and apologized: "Sorry, sorry, I didn't pay attention."

After more than half a month, his breath brushed against her ears again. Yan Chi's ears turned red with jealousy, and she silently left his hands, only saying softly: "It's okay."

"Are you still leaving when you come back this time?" Xu Xing glanced at the deserted corridor and did not miss the opportunity to be alone together.

But Yan Chijiu obviously didn't want to tell him this yet, so he just shook his head and left in a hurry.

After returning to the dinner venue, Yan Chijuan's violently beating heart gradually calmed down.

She pursed her lips and clenched her right hand over her heart.

It's so dangerous... Just after listening to his voice for a little longer, I almost lost my armor.
