Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?-Chapter 427 - 340 Gracious Invitation_2

Li Jing simply looked at the other person coldly: "I heard that you tried to drug her before and wanted to harm her. Although you didn’t succeed, it seems you never apologized to her, did you?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ziteng’s face changed drastically, and he couldn’t say a word for a moment.

Zhou Yingying was also shocked, looking up at Li Jing, not expecting him to bring this up on her behalf.

Previously, when Li Jing heard Chen Ziteng mock Zhou Yingying for escaping his clutches last time, he guessed that Chen Ziteng was the rich second generation Little Fox had mentioned who had tried to drug her, which is why Zhou Yingying was so afraid of him.

Boss Zhu, hearing this for the first time, frowned slightly and turned to look at Chen Ziteng with a questioning expression.

Chen Ziteng’s face became extremely unpleasant as he glared fiercely at Li Jing, his voice growing deeper: "President Li, are you really going to stand up for this fake socialite Zhou Yingying and tear our relationship apart?"

Li Jing looked at him placidly: "I’m curious, why shouldn’t I tear it apart? Is your face that valuable?

Or are all the rich second generations in Hai City the same? Previously, people like Liu Jun were also the same, confident at first, but in the end, they all tucked their tails between their legs and apologized, not daring to mention a word about what happened before."

Hearing Li Jing mention Liu Jun, Chen Ziteng’s expression changed slightly, vaguely guessing something.

Boss Zhu also was shocked and thought of something, quickly asking, "President Li, were you the one Liu Jun and his rich friends apologized to that day?"

Upon hearing this question, Chen Ziteng also stared at Li Jing. He had also thought of this matter and finally understood why Li Jing seemed so familiar.

But right now, the last thing he wanted to hear was a confirmation from the other side.

However, Li Jing calmly said, "Yes, it was me, and that’s how I got to know Zhou Yingying."

Hearing this, Chen Ziteng’s pupils trembled slightly, and his heart instantly turned cold.

Even Liu Jun was no match for Li Jing, and at that time, there were also a dozen or so rich second generations with similar power who collectively apologized to Li Jing. It was clear that Li Jing’s strength far exceeded his own.

Previously, he thought Li Jing was just a businessman on the same level as Boss Zhu. Now it seemed they were not on the same level at all.

Thinking about this, he couldn’t help but regret forcing Zhou Yingying to apologize earlier.

If he hadn’t insisted on that, the situation might not have escalated to this point.

Meanwhile, Boss Zhu was still in shock. He originally thought he had a high estimation of Li Jing’s strength, but in the end, he still underestimated him.

He glanced at Chen Ziteng again, seeing his ashen face, and sighed inwardly, thinking:

No matter how cautious Chen Ziteng was, he was still just a rich second generation.

Clearly, it was a great opportunity to make friends with Li Jing, but he wasted it.

No wonder they say wealth doesn’t last three generations. The descendants of these families grow up in greenhouses, lacking the rich experiences and skills of their fathers.

Thinking of this, Boss Zhu still stepped forward to save some face for Chen Ziteng, smoothing things over:

"President Li, it’s clear that Young Master Chen made some mistakes, and Zhou Yingying doesn’t need to apologize. Why don’t we go up to the room on the upper floor first and sit?"

Saying this, he looked at the sea before them, vaguely seeing a pier approaching, and said to Chen Ziteng, "Young Master Chen, didn’t you say before that you were going to get off at the pier ahead to rest? Do you have other plans? Why don’t I call a car to pick you up later?"

When Chen Ziteng heard this, he was first puzzled, then immediately realized it was a way for him to gracefully exit. He also understood that if he stayed on this boat, it would only become more embarrassing.

He took a deep breath, nodded slightly, said nothing more, and got up to head toward the back of the boat.

During this time, he didn’t even dare to look at Li Jing again.

Seeing Chen Ziteng agree to leave, the last burden in Boss Zhu’s heart also fell away. He smiled again and invited Li Jing:

"President Li, let’s go upstairs and have fun. There are many entertainment rooms upstairs. Let’s put the unpleasantness behind us and not let it affect your fun..." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"As the saying goes, at home, you rely on your parents; outside, you rely on friends."

Zhu Zheng led Li Jing forward with a warm smile, saying:

"I cannot compare to Chen Ziteng and the others; my family can’t offer much help. So I always believe in relying on friends to get to where I am today.

If President Li doesn’t mind, you can consider me a friend. I don’t dare to boast about much, but my friends all say I am loyal."

In the mere span of two floors, Zhu Zheng had spoken quite a bit.

Li Jing noticed that Zhu Zheng was not only very talkative but also very eager to make friends.

As Zhu Zheng mentioned himself, he came from an ordinary background without a strong family to back him. All his networking resources had to be accumulated bit by bit, which shaped his current habits and approach.

Li Jing had met many people like Zhu Zheng before.

Such people may not become close confidants, but for everyday matters, they are often happy to help as long as you ask.

For them, helping friends is a way to reinforce friendships. Of course, the premise is that you are considered a friend worth having, or in other words, you need to have the value to befriend.

Obviously, the strength Li Jing had shown had already inspired Zhu Zheng’s desire to make a connection, and in Zhu Zheng’s heart, Li Jing’s status had already surpassed rich second generations like Chen Ziteng in Hai City.

This also explained why Zhu Zheng, who wanted to befriend Li Jing, had also invited Zhou Yingying and Little Fox upstairs.

Zhu Zheng was very smooth and experienced in dealing with people. Seeing that Li Jing was willing to fall out with Chen Ziteng for Zhou Yingying, he guessed that either Li Jing and Zhou Yingying had a close relationship or Li Jing valued friends more.

So, he invited Zhou Yingying and Little Fox as well, trying to show a fair attitude, hoping to leave a good impression on Li Jing.

In fact, Li Jing was quite satisfied with Zhu Zheng’s act of inviting Zhou Yingying and Little Fox to come upstairs.

At least among the rich second generations he had encountered during this period, not many didn’t look down on others.

Take Liu Jun and Chen Ziteng as examples; they had long divided people into different classes in their hearts, completely distinguishing themselves from ordinary people.

So, what Zhu Zheng had done so far matched Li Jing’s preferences, and he didn’t put on too cold a face.

Regarding the topics Zhu Zheng brought up, Li Jing more or less responded with a few words, which, although not enthusiastic, showed enough respect.

Soon, they arrived on the third floor of the yacht.

This floor was equipped with a special business hall, meeting room, private box, and viewing room. Li Jing was not sure if there were other entertainment rooms.

After consulting Li Jing’s opinion, Zhu Zheng chose a relatively quiet private room.

Upon opening the door of the room, it was actually a graceful tea room inside.

Zhu Zheng immediately ordered someone to prepare exquisite tea, and after brewing it for everyone, he introduced happily to Li Jing:

"President Li, isn’t this private box quite nice? From this window, you can see the scenery outside at a glance.

I booked this yacht because I liked its layout. Though it’s not the biggest, it’s luxuriously decorated, and its layout and decoration are definitely high-end."

Saying this, he looked at Zhou Yingying and Little Fox again, smiling warmly: "Yingying, Little Fox, don’t be shy, have some tea. We’re all old friends; make yourselves at home."

Seeing Zhu Zheng so enthusiastic, Zhou Yingying and Little Fox were still a bit unaccustomed.

Though Zhu Zheng wasn’t as arrogant as those rich second generations, he was usually the president of the association and a company boss.

For them as ordinary small internet celebrities, Zhu Zheng at most would politely say hello and had never treated them with such warm hospitality.

Therefore, faced with Zhu Zheng’s current attitude, both of them felt a bit flattered.

Zhou Yingying then sneaked a glance at Li Jing beside her, feeling secretly grateful:

If it weren’t for Li Jing, not only would she have been targeted by Nuannuan and Brother Long today, but who knows what Chen Ziteng would have forced her to do.

Thinking of this, apart from the original intent to get closer to him, her heart was filled with genuine gratitude.
