Who would still be a social slave when they are so rich?
Chapter 437 Am I that kind of person?
Su Chen looked at the name on the caller ID and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect this person to call him. Could it be that something unexpected happened with the previous discussion?
While Su Chen was still thinking about it, Wu Jing, who was following him, saw that Su Chen did not answer the call immediately, so she took a curious look to see who was calling.
It would have been fine if he hadn't looked at it, but when he saw the name clearly, he was also shocked.
There were only four words displayed on the screen - Xiaomi Lei Jun!
Wu Jing had naturally heard of this big shot who had been famous in the business circle for a long time. He did not expect that Mr. Lei actually knew Su Chen.
Seeing Su Chen's casual attitude, Wu Jing was also shocked. It seemed that Su Chen's status was slightly higher than that of Mr. Lei, otherwise the call would not have been connected after the ringing for several seconds.
While Wu Jing was still immersed in shock, Su Chen gently slid his finger and answered the call. He put the phone to his ear and said jokingly with a smile: "Boss Lei, you took the time to call me during your busy schedule. Do you have something good to share with me?"
Lei Jun on the other end of the phone smacked his lips when he heard this, and responded with a dry laugh: "I ate your hot pot in Chengdu before, and I kept thinking about it, so I wanted to call and ask when the branch in the capital will open."
"By the way, I wonder if Mr. Su has returned to the capital. If he has, I would like to invite you to visit the company. As one of the company's major shareholders, if you don't even know where the company's headquarters is, isn't this a bit unreasonable?"
At the end of his speech, Lei Jun actually took the initiative and started teasing Su Chen.
Su Chen's mouth curled up slightly when he heard this. He seemed to have understood the hidden meaning of Lei Jun's words. What about wanting to eat hot pot and being one of the major shareholders? In the final analysis, he only had one purpose, which was to get Su Chen to go to the company headquarters.
If Su Chen guessed correctly, Lei Jun's plan was to implement the chip research center, and everything he said before was just a prelude.
"I have indeed returned to the capital, but I can't leave yet. I'm here to inspect the company in the 798 Art District in Chaoyang!" Su Chen did not hide anything and directly told where he was.
"798 Art District? I remember there are some film and television media companies over there. Could it be that Mr. Su is also involved in the film and television industry?" Lei Jun muttered to himself.
Retracting his thoughts, Lei Jun asked, "Is Mr. Su free this afternoon?"
Su Chen was not in a hurry to answer. If he agreed too quickly, Lei Jun would just think that he was in a hurry to go to the company headquarters.
After checking the time on his wristwatch, he pretended to mutter to himself, "It's half past ten in the morning now. I'll be free after I finish my inspection around eleven or twelve. After I have dinner with the company's person in charge, I'll be free around two in the afternoon!"
Lei Jun on the other end of the phone wanted to roll his eyes. It takes about an hour to get from Chaoyang to Haidian where the company's headquarters is located. If there is any delay or traffic jam on the way, it will be around three or four o'clock when we arrive.
By then, let alone discussing things, I'm afraid it will be time for dinner before we even finish touring the headquarters.
Lei Jun quickly thought of a way to deal with the situation. Instead of waiting for Su Chen to come, it would be better to take the initiative to find Su Chen.
He asked casually, "I wonder what Mr. Su's media company is called, to see if there is any opportunity for cooperation in the future."
"Top~Top Media!" A smile flashed in Su Chen's eyes. It seemed that Lei Jun really couldn't wait any longer.
After asking for the specific name, Lei Jun didn't feel the need to continue chatting. After a few simple greetings, he hung up the phone.
Su Chen looked at the phone in his hand, chuckled, and put the phone in his pocket. He turned his head to look at Wu Jing and said, "Let's go to your office and sit down. By the way, find a place to eat and make a phone reservation. There may be guests coming later."
"Distinguished guest?" Wu Jing was stunned for a moment, but he reacted the next second. He looked at Su Chen in disbelief and asked, "Mr. Su, the distinguished guest you are talking about is not Mr. Lei, right?"
Su Chen walked into the elevator and nodded with a faint smile, "Well~ If I'm not mistaken, he should have left now, but you don't have to care too much, just treat him as an ordinary friend."
Hearing this, Wu Jing opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything. If big shots like Lei Jun were treated as ordinary people, then why was he, Wu Jing, still hanging around in the entertainment industry? Why not just beat the capital in the circle!
Wu Jing still looked calm on the surface, but his heart was already in turmoil. After bringing Su Chen and Chen Fei to his office, he poured two cups of tea, apologized to Su Chen, and turned around and walked out of the office.
Su Chen naturally understood what Wu Jing was going to do. In addition to what he had instructed before, it was to arrange for the company's people to prepare for the reception.
This is understandable. Compared with Lei Jun, Su Chen is not even a little bit behind in terms of public popularity. It can be said that they are not on the same level.
If Lei Jun really came to Summit Media and Wu Jing did not make corresponding preparations to welcome him, and if someone with ulterior motives manipulated him, rumors that Wu Jing looked down on Lei Jun would spread in the entertainment or business circles before tomorrow.
Coupled with a few photos of Lei Jun walking into Dingfeng Media Company alone, Wu Jing will not be able to stop those gossips even if he has more mouths.
Even if Lei Jun came out to explain later, what would happen? The onlookers would only praise Lei Jun for not bearing grudges, and would not say a good word about Wu Jing.
It was precisely because Wu Jing was well aware of the power of this method that he left in a hurry after bringing Su Chen to the office.
Su Chen asked him to treat Lei Jun as an ordinary friend because Su Chen had the capital and confidence to say this, but Wu Jing could not really do so.
The gap in status between him and Lei Jun is not a small one. If he neglects the etiquette, even if Lei Jun doesn't care about it for Su Chen's sake, if it gets out, Wu Jing's reputation in the circle will be ruined.
Especially for a legendary figure like Lei Jun, there are many people who want to flatter him.
……
After Wu Jing hurried out of the office, he immediately asked the assistant at the door to notify the company's executives to hold an emergency meeting. At the same time, he did not forget Su Chen's previous instructions, and immediately called a nearby top private restaurant and reserved a private room.
The executives arrived quickly. As soon as Wu Jing hung up the phone, several executives appeared in front of him.
"Brother Jing, you called us here so urgently, does Mr. Su have any important instructions?" the company's vice president asked.
All the executives present knew that the young man who came today was the largest shareholder of their Dingfeng Media. They all thought that Wu Jing called them over because Su Chen had explained something and asked them to handle it.
Wu Jing swept his eyes across the faces of several executives and said seriously, "Mr. Su doesn't have anything to arrange, but there may be a distinguished guest visiting later. I hope everyone will be alert and prepare for the reception!"
After a pause, he added: "Receive with the highest etiquette."
"The highest etiquette?" The vice president couldn't help but whispered, "Brother Jing, who is coming? Even if the leaders of the Film Association came to visit, we are just..."
Before he could finish his words, Wu Jing raised her hand and interrupted him, "This person is Lei Jun, CEO of Xiaomi Group, and he's here to see Mr. Su!"
The conference room suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Everyone opened their mouths wide and looked at Wu Jing in disbelief, as if they wanted to see a hint of a joke on Wu Jing's serious face.
Unfortunately, they were disappointed and all they saw was that determined look in his eyes.
"Mr. Lei from Xiaomi, my goodness, such a big shot would come to our Dingfeng Media. If this gets out, it will definitely cause a big uproar in the media and film and television circles!"
"That's right. We must do a good job of publicity this time so that those who have ideas about our company will voluntarily retreat."
The faces of the executives were filled with excitement, and they were talking to each other happily.
"I say, have you ever thought about the fact that President Lei came to the company in person to meet Mr. Su? Mr. Su's background... is a bit scary, isn't it?" The artist director said weakly while watching several executives chatting enthusiastically.
Hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Wu Jing, who had been sitting in the first seat without saying anything. Then they realized that what Wu Jing had said before was that Lei Jun came to the summit to meet their boss, Mr. Su. Wu Jing looked at everyone's gazes and tapped his fingers lightly on the table, "Mr. Su's affairs are not something you can ask about. You should think about how to maximize the benefits of Xiaomi's Lei's arrival."
He hadn't said anything just now, and was wondering in his heart why Su Chen had specifically reminded him that Lei Jun would come here. It took him a long time to figure out that Su Chen was trying to gain fame for Dingfeng.
Upon hearing this, the executives took a deep breath, regained their proper qualities as executives, and quickly came up with a reasonable plan.
"Okay, let's implement it according to the plan. Let's go down and prepare!" After saying that, Wu Jing stood up and walked towards his office without paying attention to the enthusiastic gazes of the crowd.
The moment he pushed open the office door, he saw Su Chen standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the entire park. The sunlight shone through the glass onto Su Chen's body, as if he was coated with a layer of gold, which made Wu Jing a little dazed for a moment.
"Is everything arranged?" Su Chen asked without turning his head, with a smile in his voice.
Wu Jing came back to his senses and nodded quickly in response: "Yes, Mr. Su."
He didn't mention the specific details. He knew that big shots like Su Chen only wanted a result and didn't want to hear about the process.
If even this requires the responsibility of him, the big boss behind the scenes, then what is the point of them, the persons in charge and executives.
"Don't think too much. Lei Jun is a very good person. Even if you want to borrow his name to push the reputation of Peak higher, there is no problem." Su Chen turned around and looked at Wu Jing with a smile on his face.
When Wu Jing heard this, her pupils shrank slightly, but she quickly understood why Mr. Su couldn't think of what she could think of.
All of my arrangements were guided by Su Chen.
"Relax!" Su Chen walked to Wu Jing's side and patted his shoulder. "Lei Jun is one of us. I'll introduce him to you guys later. Maybe we can ask him to make a guest appearance or be a scapegoat in the future."
"One of our own?" Wu Jing was really upset. Being said like that by Su Chen meant...
"Mr. Su...Mr. Su!" Wu Jing's Adam's apple moved, and he swallowed nervously, "You mean, Mr. Lei... No? Xiaomi Group also has your shares?"
Su Chen smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Some things are better for you to know! So, don't feel too burdened and worry about offending Lei Jun."
Wu Jing nodded heavily and took several deep breaths before he suppressed the heavy news.
"Dingling bell~"
The internal phone on the desk suddenly rang, and Wu Jing quickly walked over and picked up the phone.
"Brother Jing, Mr. Lei from Xiaomi Group has entered the park and will be downstairs in three minutes at most." The person who called was the executive who had been arranged to wait at the entrance of the park.
Wu Jing subconsciously looked at Su Chen, who just waved his hand calmly, "You go and answer it, I won't go!"
Su Chen didn't want to join in the fun. He didn't want to be on the hot search list tomorrow and be talked about by the spectators.
When Wu Jing and a group of senior executives appeared in front of the office building, they saw two cars parked steadily not far away. Looking at Lei Jun and Wu Jing getting out of the car, they immediately gave a look to the senior executives behind them.
The executive gestured to the people who were arranged to stand outside, and someone immediately took out his phone to take pictures, exclaiming, "WTF, Lei Jun! Why is Lei Jun from Xiaomi here at Summit Media!"
This voice immediately attracted a lot of people's attention. When they saw Lei Jun's face clearly, many people took out their mobile phones and started taking pictures.
When Lei Jun saw this scene, he raised his eyebrows slightly. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
"Mr. Lei, welcome to Dingfeng Media!" Wu Jing quickly stepped forward, extended her hand, and introduced herself: "I am Wu Jing, the head of Dingfeng Media."
Lei Jun smiled and shook hands with Wu Jing. "Mr. Wu, you are too polite. I have watched your previous Wolf Warrior 2 several times. I am sorry for disturbing you by coming here this time."
"No, no, it's our honor to have you here!" Wu Jing stepped aside and gestured for invitation, "Mr. Su is waiting for you upstairs."
"Mr. Wu, please lead the way!" A strange look flashed in Lei Jun's eyes, and it turned out that Su Chen had already expected his arrival.
If that's the case... Lei Jun glanced at the people not far away who were filming with their mobile phones. He finally understood what was wrong before.
I think Wu Jing wants to use his name to promote Dingfeng Media and intimidate other media companies in the park.
Lei Jun did not bring up the matter, but instead acted even closer to Wu Jing!
As the elevator went up, Lei Jun asked casually, "Mr. Wu and Mr. Su must have known each other for a long time, right?"
"It's been a while!" Wu Jing explained with a smile, "This media company was proposed by Mr. Su when we were having dinner together. He has a unique vision and gave a lot of valuable suggestions."
Lei Jun nodded thoughtfully. He could see that Wu Jing in front of him was someone from Su Chen's circle, otherwise she wouldn't have led such a move.
The elevator quickly reached the top floor, and Wu Jing led Lei Jun through the corridor and arrived at the office door.
Before Wu Jing could knock on the door, the office door was opened with a click.
"Mr. Lei, please come in!" It was Chen Fei who opened the door. He smiled and gestured to Mr. Lei.
"Hahaha~ Why are you being so polite to me!" Lei Jun patted Chen Fei's shoulder gently and walked in under Wu Jing's surprised eyes.
Wu Jing originally wanted to go in, but was stopped by Chen Fei. Before Wu Jing could say anything, Chen Fei also walked out and carefully closed the door. Then he explained: "What the sirs are going to talk about next is not for us to listen to!"
Wu Jing nodded when he heard that, and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. Just as he was about to take out a cigarette and hand it to Chen Fei, he saw Chen Fei take out a white cigarette box from his pocket. In an instant, he felt that the Fuchun Villa cigarette in his hand was not fragrant at all.
He had only seen this kind of cigarette once, when he went to the Southern Military Region to experience it for a year and a half for filming a movie, and saw it in the hands of the highest-ranking official.
But now seeing it in Chen Fei's hands, Wu Jing couldn't digest it for a while.
As if she saw the confusion in Wu Jing's eyes, she smiled and handed one to him before explaining, "My husband gave it to me. I have several more at home. If you are thick-skinned, you can go visit more and grab a pack when you leave!"
Wu Jing was instantly shocked. What did it mean to just take a bag and go? Was he that kind of person?
He took the cigarette handed to him by Chen Fei, lit it and started puffing smoke. It was indeed different from the cigarettes he had smoked before, and a light immediately flashed in his eyes.
Well, Wu Jing immediately felt that he had been a bit hasty!
"Hey, brother A Fei, when do you think it would be a good time for me to come visit you?"
Chen Fei looked as if he had seen through you a long time ago, and pointed to the end of the corridor, "Let's go, let's go over there and talk." (End of this chapter)
