Who wants to take the civil service exam after being reborn?

Chapter 649 The Official Prestige from the Capital?
"Miss Yi wants to see Song Shiwei?"

Chen paused for a moment, his first reaction was to find a reason to refuse: "She's quite busy, she probably doesn't have much time to say hello."

Chen thought, "Why are you two, who have absolutely no connection, getting together?"
"It's okay, no need to say hello."

Yi Baoyu was unusually approachable: "I just couldn't find anything to do, so I wanted to go and see what was going on."

Chen chuckled dryly twice: "What kind of excitement could there be when a young couple like us meet?"

That's pretty direct; it's practically like they're saying "you're an eyesore."

However, due to Gege's unusually slow reaction time when it comes to interpersonal relationships and her self-righteous way of thinking, she didn't notice the resistance in Chen's tone at all.

"Of course it's lively."

Yi Baoyu seemed to be getting up to change her shoes: "I'm really curious, are you planning to treat the one from Zhongda University as your first wife, or the one from Guangmei University as your first wife?"

"Oh shit……"

Chen thought to herself, "What does this have to do with you? Anyway, it's not your turn to be the first wife. I hope you'll only ever be someone else's mistress!"

However, given Yi Baoyu's upbringing, her biological father had several stepmothers, so she might not even consider this "concubine" to be a real "concubine," and might even be happy that she doesn't have to bear the responsibilities of marriage while still enjoying the reality of marriage.

"What, you're starting to get anxious now?"

When Yi Baoyu saw that Chen Zhe had suddenly stopped talking, he thought that he had been frightened by what he had said.

Yi Gege said with disdain, "A man with money and power can't find any woman. My third uncle has been praising you to the skies lately, but I didn't realize you were such a womanizer."

"Who says a romantic can't be sincere?"

Chen Zhe didn't want to continue arguing with Yi Baoyu about this topic, but judging from today's situation, he probably couldn't stop Gege from seeing Sweet Sister.

A quick internal assessment won't lead to anything worse, since my image as someone who's good at relationships is already a complete ruin.

"I'm going to Douban Technology now; they're discussing angel round investment there."

Chen pondered for a moment and then suggested, "Let's have dinner together tonight, and I'll introduce you to each other then?"

"I can't wait until tonight!"

Yi Baoyu had already come downstairs with a "thump thump thump": "Douwang Technology, right? You don't need to tell me the address, I can find it!"

"Hey~"

Chen shook his head. Are women really that curious?
However, anyone who raises a princess to be a mistress in the future must be no ordinary person.

It wasn't until he stepped out of the hotel and was hit by the cold wind carrying snow that Director Chen's mind cleared up a bit.

I recall Yi Baoyu's words, "My third uncle praises you to the skies."

Her third uncle must be Bo Xiang from the cultural front. After Old Master Yi passed away, the family must have relied entirely on him to maintain its reputation.

……

Douwang Technology rented several small offices on the second floor of Zhongyuan Securities Company in Jiuxianqiao.

The overall layout is quite compact. Pushing open the closed glass door, you can see several white desks put together, with eight or nine employees sitting in front of computers typing away.

There were quite a few plants in the office, and a lot of books and movie stickers on the shelves. The coffee smell in the air was a bit pungent, giving it a distinctly Shanghai bourgeois feel, like something out of a dusty memory.

However, on the whiteboard at the very front, there were internet buzzwords such as "platform, data, ecosystem, connection..." written in a messy hand, which contrasted sharply with the "peaceful and quiet" decor.

This illustrates that the company's founders are also in a state of confusion, envious of others making money but lacking the ability and ideas, so it's no wonder that investors are not optimistic about them.

"who are you looking for?"

Just then, a pretty receptionist returned from the restroom and saw Chen looking around. She went up to him and asked what he wanted.

"I'm here to discuss going public and raising funds."

Chen asked, "Where are Ms. Song and your boss?"

"In the conference room..."

The receptionist sized Chen up for a moment, then her eyes lit up: "Are you Mr. Chen from the past?"

"Oh?"

Chen thought to himself, "I've been keeping a low profile for months, how come someone still recognizes me?" But he didn't hide it and said with a smile, "Hello~"

"Ah? It really is President Chen alive!"

The receptionist almost gasped, then suddenly realized she was in the office area and quickly covered her mouth. But she swiftly pulled a bright pink phone from her pocket, its color as vibrant as the sunset, and said in a low voice, "I'm a die-hard fan of Youmi! I missed the last launch event, but I'll definitely make it next time!"

"Thank you for your support, thank you~"

Chen Zhe can now understand a little better how celebrities feel when they are asked for photos and fawned over by fans.

It was pretty cool!
Following the receptionist, we entered a meeting room of about 20 square meters. Upon entering, we found two groups of people sitting on either side, clearly separated from each other.

One group naturally consisted of Sweet Sister and Cong Ni.

The other group should be Yang Bei, the founder of Douban Technology, and his subordinates.

What puzzled Chen was that there was another person at the very front of the conference table.

He was probably in his forties, with his arms crossed, a serious expression, and deep nasolabial folds, as if he was constantly weighing the weight of his words. He had a familiar "official air" about him.

However, Director Chen knew in his heart that this person's rank was probably not high.

Because many high-ranking leaders have cultivated to the point where they don't have many superfluous expressions; they can simply sit there calmly and exude a constant low-pressure atmosphere.

On the contrary, many middle-aged cadres who are stuck in the middle, neither promoted nor demoted, are very good at pretending.

The kind of person who appears righteous and awe-inspiring on the outside but secretly harbors a ruthless streak is the most cunning.

Suddenly, an "uninvited guest" barged into the conference room, and everyone's eyes turned to look at him.

Song, the school beauty, was naturally happy because this was her boyfriend.

On her previously calm and aloof face, a gentle breeze seemed to caress her, and the corners of her lips curved into a soft smile.

Yang Bei from Douwang Technology was somewhat surprised, clearly not recognizing Chen Zhe as anyone else.

The middle-aged loading supervisor subconsciously revealed a scrutinizing look.

"Hello, I'm also from Mr. Song's team."

Chen Zhe was never one to put on airs, so he took the initiative to shake hands with Yang Bei.

Yang Bei was stunned for a moment, but his muscles reacted and he stretched out his arm.

However, when Chen Zhe shook hands with the middle-aged leader, he did not immediately respond. Instead, he deliberately paused for a moment, creating a very obvious sense of unfamiliarity, before giving a perfunctory handshake.

"Haha~"

Chen smiled, seemingly unconcerned, and sat down next to Song Shiwei: "How did the talk go..."

"There's nothing left to discuss."

Song Shiwei suddenly stood up first.

Sweetie had already noticed that her boyfriend had been ignored.

Yang Bei and the middle-aged leader both changed color at the same time.

Why are you leaving so suddenly?
Do you think my identity is enough to keep you "outsiders and out-of-town companies" in check?

Little girl, don't underestimate officials from the capital!
"Walk?"

Chen blinked as well.

He arrived late and was unaware of the specifics. In fact, when Song Shiwei came for the second time, she had already clearly stated her intention not to invest.

It was only because Yang Bei sincerely asked to talk again today that Sweet Sister agreed. Unexpectedly, he actually brought over a leader from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to act as an intermediary.

Song Shiwei could only maintain a polite facade, intending to listen until the end before leaving.

However, this leader in charge of loading the goods was too arrogant and didn't respect Director Chen at all, so Song, the school beauty, didn't care about saving face anymore.

"Forehead……"

Unexpectedly, Chen Zhe also stopped him, saying, "Why don't we wait?"

I just gave Yi Baoyu the address here, so we don't get lost and cause trouble.

Although Song Shiwei didn't know why she had to wait, she nodded silently since her boyfriend had said so, though her face already showed a coldness that kept people at a distance.

However, Chen's action was seen by the middle-aged leader as a sign of "knowing what's good for him".
