Chapter 147 What is the relationship?
Zou Ting was thinking about it and feeling uneasy, not knowing who was more in need of help.

After a long silence, a man's low voice came from the French window, "Three months is enough."

Three months?
The CEO did not speak, but Director Zhuang, who had been silent throughout the entire process, looked relieved.

The longer the time drags on, the greater the impact on the feasibility of the second phase of Lianwu Island development. Naturally, the heavier the burden on his head, the less he can get a moment's respite.

Mr. Chen’s intention is clear, he wants to resolve the issue quickly.

Zou Ting is not stupid. He quickly understood the long-term intentions behind the decisions made by those in high positions. He believed that building the North China ecological chain and completing the layout of the medical system before officially launching the second phase plan was of utmost importance.

Even if Xipei's foreign ancestry would cause rejection and discomfort, it would be difficult to cause any trouble under Mr. Chen's thundering skill.

After discussing the merger and integration, Zou Ting left the top floor with the plan.

Director Zhuang stayed.

The cigarette was burning to the end. Chen Jingyuan took only a few puffs. When he pushed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, he slightly raised his chin towards his subordinate, signaling him to continue.

The gentleman noticed and had something to say.

It is related to the recent progress in the AI ​​sector.

Briefly describing the summit last weekend, Zhuang Jiming added: “At present, Jiuzhou Technology is far ahead of any other technology companies in the industry in terms of both technological maturity and internal structural integrity.

The founder's surname is Duan. I believe you have heard of it. Two years ago, Jiuzhou encountered a financial crisis. Under the desperate situation, Mr. Duan rushed to Macau alone and injected 300 million overnight to bring Jiuzhou back to life.

Of course, some of it is true or false, and some is mythological, which remains to be studied.”

Deification.

Chen Jingyuan leaned back on the sofa with his legs crossed, a half-finger-thick background file spread out on his knees. He glanced down and glanced through it, his sight finally fixed on the five words "Zhou's Gambling City".

He slowly closed it, put the document on the table with a calm expression, and asked in a low voice, "Director Zhuang believes in theism?"

The tone is dull and the writing is leisurely and casual.

This relieved a lot of tension.

Zhuang Jiming understood that the teacher wanted him to speak without reservation, to speak out what he could, and to tell everything even if he didn't dare to.

After concentrating for a few seconds, he shook his head: "Of course I don't believe it."

Behind all the evil spirits and monsters are human means.

"Mr. Chen, can you give me some time?" Zhuang Jiming said seriously.

"One month."

Chen Jingyuan closed his eyes and tapped the armrest slowly. "Let Xu Zhou help. I want to see the initial plan by the end of August at the latest."

"Don't worry. Sometimes the deeper something is hidden, the more deadly it is to dig out." Zhuang Jiming paused for two seconds and continued, "Besides, mortals always have weaknesses, including the founder named Duan."

After hearing this, Chen Jingyuan's eyes darkened.

Weaknesses, who can be an exception?

After finishing the business, when Zhuang Jiming was about to get up and say goodbye, he heard the man ask, "What did you gain from going to the Entrepreneurship Park yesterday?"

surprise.

The venture capital project is insignificant, but I never thought that an inspection would attract Mr.'s attention.

He calmed down and said, "Time is limited, and I have only contacted one company."

Unable to figure out the gentleman's intention, Zhuang Jiming answered cautiously.

"Name." The man opened his mouth indifferently.

The noble figure leaned steadily against the sofa, his face with eyes closed, showing no emotion at all, only a little more cold than usual.

There is a reason why the gentleman asked the question.

Zhuang Jiming did not dare to hide it. "It's called Xiwei Technology. It was established about two years ago. It has about 50 people. It focuses on 'digital life', a very niche field."

Preliminary understanding, not exhaustive.

After three hours of communication, Zhuang Jiming made an evaluation and decided not to invest for the time being. The prospects are unclear, the product's direction of development is not well matched with the market, and he is not optimistic. However, the main creator has a quick business mindset and the technical team behind him is good.

If the other party is willing to cut off the tail and survive, you can find an opportunity to talk again.

Little did people know that the above information had been delivered to the study of Xiangyue Mansion by Special Assistant Xu several months ago.

As an outsider, Zhuang Jiming was actually very passive at this time.

It's completely like crossing the river by feeling the stones, answering each question as it comes.

The gentleman would not pay attention to such a small matter for no reason. It's based on his intuition and the following text.

Almost in the next second when the premonition arose, the power of the person in a high position had already fallen on his head.

Chen Jingyuan asked slowly: "Who is the recommender?"

My heart shuddered.

Zhuang Jiming looked up and observed the man's expression, but still could not see any change. Not knowing the man's mood, how could he directly say the name of the person to be introduced?

Will it involve her?

After a long while of silence, Chen Jingyuan suddenly opened his eyes on the sofa and cast a sharp gaze at the person opposite him.

Meeting the man's piercing gaze, Zhuang Jiming tightened his throat and said with concentration, "It's Secretary Liang."

These three words seemed like the dust had settled, leaving no room for maneuver.

What greeted him was the silence of those in high positions.

Such long and unbearable silence often indicates that the host is exhausted, which means that things are not as simple as he thought.

Under heavy pressure, Zhuang Jiming explained: "Although she was the recommender, Secretary Liang did not participate much in the whole process. She was completely unaware of the evaluation. I was impartial and never showed favoritism because of friendship. Regarding this, Mr. Chen can send a prosecutorial team to the investment department to conduct an investigation at any time."

This statement was made instinctively, and the motivation for maintenance was obvious.

In the venture capital circle, it is common to rely on personal connections for referrals. But this time the situation was special after all, and the executive director personally asked about it, which undoubtedly made the whole matter more complicated and intensified.

As a member of the board of directors, if the girl makes a wrong step and displeases her husband, her career will definitely be affected, which is not what he wants to see.

Mr. Chen is in charge of the group. He hates his subordinates abusing their power for personal gain the most, let alone their close confidants.

So, try to stay away from her.

Unexpectedly, a well-intentioned explanation was met with an ambiguous question from the man. He said slowly, "Director Zhuang, why don't you tell me what kind of relationship you have with Secretary Liang in private?"

Suddenly stopped.

Zhuang Jiming didn't expect that Mr. Chen's focus seemed to be different from what he imagined.

After a moment of contemplation, he replied, "We are from the same hometown."

He didn't say much because he found that the more he spoke, the easier it was to make mistakes.

Unconsciously, my back was already covered with dense beads of sweat. The air-conditioning in the room only made my nerves more tense.

Sometimes, when my husband asks about trivial matters, it can be more oppressive than talking about work.

Even Zhuang Jiming couldn't figure out how the topic gradually shifted from Jiuzhou Technology to Secretary Liang and him.

Across the sofa, the investment director, who was always modest and steady, showed himself to be so cautious and uneasy in front of his boss for the first time.

Chen Jingyuan watched calmly, examining the capable subordinate in front of him without any expression.

That calm gaze fell on the person's face, like a sharp sword that pierced through the body and struck the soul. Even within a few brief seconds, it was enough to make the person who received it defeated.

After a while, Special Assistant Xu knocked on the door and reminded Mr. Chen that the flight back to Hong Kong was scheduled for 6pm.

The moment the man's elegant body stood up from the sofa, Zhuang Jiming felt as if he had escaped death and stood up with him.

Chen Jingyuan took the tablet from Xu Zhou, read it and signed it. Before leaving, he glanced at Zhuang Jiming, walked out of the office with his tall back, and said in a calm voice, "I will arrange the follow-up of Xiwei Technology."

Special Assistant Xu said: If you want to stay alive recently, you'd better stay away from Secretary Liang. It's not easy for the boss to have a good life. Everyone looks like a love rival to him.

There will be a scene tomorrow where they are acting opposite each other. It seems like they have never had a quarrel since they were together, right?
