Chapter 140 Waiting for you to come back
The most direct impact of fame is that the number of unfamiliar calls increases significantly every day, and a lot of business cards are sent out during business hours. At a time when the overall environment is becoming increasingly difficult, naturally, many partners have to humble themselves and take the initiative to come to us.
What surprised her most was that she received an official invitation letter to the Internet + Healthcare Summit at the end of June, and the address was Century Center on the East Fifth Ring Road.
I have a vague impression of it. I seemed to have heard Prince Zhou mention it before in the club.
Liang Weining didn't take it seriously at first. Attending such a summit was entirely up to one's own discretion and there was no compulsion. Besides, he was not free on the weekend and probably couldn't go.
It was not until noon that I ran into Zhuang Jiming in the staff cafeteria.
At the last acquisition of Xipei, Director Zhuang became famous at the negotiation table, and the scene of his debate with many scholars is still fresh in my memory.
Mr. Chen was open-minded and did not object to her learning from outstanding people, so from then on, Liang Weining no longer deliberately avoided this person when she saw him.
In a secluded corner, the two sat face to face.
After discussing the follow-up of the Xipei, Zhuang Jiming casually mentioned the summit this weekend, "Given your current situation, you should also be among those invited."
It's a firm tone.
Liang Weining nodded: "I received an email from the organizer this morning, but I may not be available."
Hearing her say that she was busy, Zhuang Jiming smiled.
The girl raised an eyebrow, sensing that he had something to say.
"Do you know why Mr. Chen wanted to acquire Xipei so vigorously?"
Zhuang Jiming was well-educated. He would habitually stop eating when speaking, and look intently at the person opposite him, giving people a sense of respect.
The topic suddenly changed. Liang Weining didn't respond and waited for his next words.
Seeing the girl put down her chopsticks, Zhuang Jiming quickly signaled: "It's okay, you can continue, I'm not in a hurry."
It means that he has eaten.
Liang Weining was secretly surprised at how small this man's appetite was.
While I was thinking, I heard the other party continue: "The second phase of the ecological project of Lianwu Island, the headquarters, will be launched after the new year. Before that, a complete medical monitoring system must be established first."
Liang Weining paused while eating and raised his head subconsciously.
I almost forgot that medical testing and diagnosis is the most important link in the entire ecological chain, and the acquisition of Xipei Pharmaceutical is only the first step.
The cooperation between the headquarters and Zhang's company basically does not involve the core. It can be seen that Mr. Chen did not intend to land the ecological medical sector in the port area from the beginning. Instead, it is in North China.
The big guy actually played the empty city tactic to the guy from Taiping Mountain.
Of course, Zhuang Jiming was stationed in the branch office and was not aware of the twists and turns of the Lianwu Island project.
I have been entrusted with an important task by the top management this time. Without considering other aspects, I just want to do my best in the present and give Mr. Chen a satisfactory answer.
The two people's thinking directions overlapped very little, but strangely, they ended up with the same conclusion.
Liang Weining changed his mind at the last minute and decided to take time out on the weekend to attend the summit at the Century Center.
When we finished our meal and went upstairs, Zhuang Jiming said, "We are currently working on an AI medical project. If you are interested, you might as well learn more about this before trying out the investment department."
AI medical care.
Artificial intelligence-based monitoring and diagnosis provide physical fitness indicators and active health data for the target groups in the ecosystem 24 hours a day.
The content of the Phase II plan report clearly articulated by the project leader at the Lianwu Island meeting at the beginning of the year flashed through my mind.
I wonder if Zhuang Jiming’s invitation to the summit this time is related to ecological engineering.
There are only a handful of high-quality AI technology companies on the market that are suitable for venture capital financing, and most of them are in start-up mode.
It is difficult for small startups to take on big responsibilities.
Unless Director Zhuang is extremely capable and can create a technology giant in just half a year.
In order to free up as much of his weekend as possible, Liang Weining had to choose to work overtime on Friday.
Around seven o'clock, I had to suspend my work because I was missing a piece of data. I had been overworking my brain recently and always forgot things. I called Xiangyue Mansion and my aunt answered.
Liang Weining asked the other party to help go to the study and see if he could find a silver USB flash drive in the desk drawer.
After hearing this, the aunt hesitated, looked outside the living room terrace, and said with difficulty: "The master just came back."
What she meant was that the study was a sensitive place and as a housekeeper it was not necessary for her to go in.
Know the rules very well.
Two minutes later, the call was handed over to Mr. Chen.
A deep voice came from the receiver, asking her, "What time will you finish tonight?"
The girl curled her lips unconsciously.
"I'm afraid it will be late." She deliberately joked, "Mr. Chen, are you going to come and work overtime with me?"
The evening breeze was warm. Chen Jingyuan stood with his back to the fence. He lowered his eyes and brushed off the cigarette ash as he spoke. He said in a gentle voice, "I'll send a car to pick you up at the airport. Come back to Hong Kong with me tonight."
Return to Hong Kong?
Liang Weining glanced at the desk calendar on the corner of the table. There were only two days left until July 7. She guessed that the boss should be returning to the headquarters to attend the group's anniversary ceremony.
Is it too late?
After the ceremony, will Mr. Chen be able to return to Beijing on the same day?
July 7st is also her birthday.
But I can't leave because I have to go to the summit this weekend. After thinking about it, Liang Weining said, "I'm really too busy. I'll wait for you to come back home."
I thought the boss wouldn't give in easily.
Unexpectedly, after she finished speaking, there was silence for a few seconds on the phone, and then he agreed with indulgence.
The little girl treated Xiangyue Mansion as her home. Although it was unintentional, it was enough to please Mr. Chen.
Before hanging up, Liang Weining briefly talked about the USB flash drive.
"Just send me a message when you find me. I just want to confirm if you are at home."
Following the girl's instructions, Chen Jingyuan put out his cigarette and walked towards the study, pushed open the door, walked to the desk with a pink mouse pad, and leaned over to open the drawer.
The USB flash drive lay quietly inside.
What caught my eye was a beige velvet notebook with the following words written in beautiful small characters on the lower right corner of the cover: [Handbook Diary/Mr. Chen.]

On Saturday, the Internet + Healthcare Summit was held as scheduled at the Century Center.
Liang Weining drove to the venue, and when she arrived, Master Meng sent someone to ask her, saying that there was still half an hour before the opening ceremony, and asked her if she wanted to go to the VIP reception room to sit for a while.
Meng Group is the largest sponsor of this summit. Meng Xingzhi is here in person today, perhaps he is interested in venture capital projects.
After a little thought, she declined.
First, I wanted to go around and get a feel for the industry. Second, my relationship with Mr. Meng only came from Mr. Chen. When we were together in private, we had too few common topics to talk about, so it was inevitable that things would become awkward.
Of course, the other party fully respected her opinion and did not force it.
Walking through the beverage area, the term Liang Weining heard most often was "Jiuzhou Technology", which is said to be a dark horse upstart in the AI field in the past two years.
The name sounds familiar.
I couldn't help but think of the last time at the club. Before leaving, Prince Zhou told Master Meng to pay special attention to this company.
It seems that he has a personal grudge against the CEO of Jiuzhou Technology.
However, it has nothing to do with her.
Liang Weining didn't think much about it, and walked slowly towards the startup section with a glass of wine in hand. Both sides of the corridor were exhibition areas, where the scientific and technological achievements of many small and micro startup companies were gathered.
Unexpectedly, I met an old acquaintance here whom I hadn't seen for several years.
