"Director Ding, it's been a long time!" A voice came from behind Huang Xiaochuan, Ding Yi, and Zhang Gaolei, who were chatting. The voice referred to Ding Yi by his previous position at the China Securities Regulatory Commission.
The three of them subconsciously turned around and glanced back. The one who spoke was a middle-aged man who looked shrewd, and standing next to him was a beautiful woman in an evening dress.
"Oh, it's President Liu!" Ding Yi greeted her casually.
When Mr. Liu saw that Ding Yi had responded to him, he was about to walk up to the three of them when he was stopped by someone who suddenly appeared. Mr. Liu was immediately embarrassed.
Huang Xiaochuan waved his hand gently to indicate that everything was alright, and then President Liu and his companions came to the three of them.
This man was very outgoing and immediately took the initiative to greet Huang Xiaochuan: "This must be Mr. Huang? My name is Liu Fu, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
At this point, Ding Yi, who was standing to the side, added a brief introduction: "He is the general manager of Haibo Securities and also the president of the Shanghai Lianjiang Chamber of Commerce."
Upon hearing this, Liu Fu quickly said modestly, "I wouldn't dare. In front of Mr. Huang, I'm just someone trying to make a living."
At this moment, the elegantly dressed woman beside Liu Fu also took the initiative to greet Huang Xiaochuan: "Hello, Mr. Huang!"
Huang Xiaochuan lightly touched the slender finger that had reached out to him and then withdrew it, thinking to himself that he felt like he had seen this woman somewhere before.
At this moment, the woman smiled and offered her business card to the three of them: "I am Li Yun from Wave Capital. Mr. Huang, we have met before! I wanted to invite you for a drink, but you didn't give me the time of day."
Li Yun is a very clever woman. Her initiative to bring up the past rejection is actually a high-risk, high-reward social strategy. It not only demonstrates her presence but also indirectly puts Huang Xiaochuan in a difficult position, which is very likely to trigger a sense of compensation in Huang Xiaochuan.
Sure enough, this reminded Huang Xiaochuan immediately—wasn't this the woman who had tried to buy him a drink at the bar? However, her attire back then was completely different from today's; no wonder she looked familiar but he couldn't quite place her. But he didn't take the business card. At that moment, Gao Song, standing behind him, immediately stepped forward and took the card from Li Yun's hand.
Huang Xiaochuan glanced at the woman and replied casually, "Oh, it's you!"
Zhang Gaolei also gave the woman named Li Yun a meaningful look. He remembered this woman. Judging from her actions, she was not only very bold, but also quite ambitious.
Seeing that she had received a response, Li Yun immediately seized the opportunity, saying, "Mr. Huang's generous donation of tens of millions to help improve educational facilities and equipment in Southwest China is truly admirable."
Liu Fu chimed in, "Yes! Miss Li is right!"
Huang Xiaochuan had long been accustomed to the flattery and compliments he received from all sorts of people and occasions over the years, so he was immune to it. Therefore, he responded with a slight smile.
Ding Yi stood quietly to the side and watched. His life experience was beyond that of ordinary people. He was born into an official family. After graduating from university, he took a leave of absence without pay and plunged into the securities industry, where he became very influential. Later, under pressure from his family, he had no choice but to return to the system. His life can only be described as rich in experience.
Therefore, he saw through people like Liu Fu and Li Yun at a glance; these two were only after Huang Xiaochuan.
Zhang Gaolei had known Huang Xiaochuan for many years and naturally knew his temperament, so he changed the subject at the right time, bringing the topic back to the auction.
While Zhang Gaolei was chatting with the other two, Ding Yi gave Huang Xiaochuan a wink, and the two left the banquet hall and came to the large platform. It was late autumn, and the night in Shanghai was already cool.
There was no one on the large platform, so Li Huan and his men guarded the entrance to prevent outsiders from entering.
At this moment, Ding Yi, holding the business card that Li Yun had just given him, said, "That Wave Capital has been very active in the domestic primary market recently."
Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaochuan teased him, "Oh? You're usually so busy with official duties, yet you still have time to care about these things?"
Ding Yi glared at his friend, annoyed: "It's just a glance, why are you making such a fuss!"
Huang Xiaochuan actually admired Ding Yi quite a bit. Even after entering politics, he still had such an accurate grasp of the capital market trends. It seemed that this guy hadn't been idle in the Southwest.
At this moment, Zhang Gaolei got rid of Liu Fu and Li Yun and came to the platform. Li Huan and the others naturally did not stop him.
Ding Yi glanced at Zhang Gaolei, who was walking towards him and Huang Xiaochuan, and continued to say to Huang Xiaochuan: "That guy named Liu Fu is a bit wild. Haibo Securities doesn't have a very good reputation in the industry. As for the woman from earlier, Langchao Capital is said to have a very deep background, with its main source of funds coming from overseas. But this woman is obviously a nobody, and she's just looking for an opportunity to climb the social ladder."
Then he smiled meaningfully and said, "The fact that these two can get together clearly means they each have something to need."
Ding Yi was so sure because Li Yun's business card clearly stated that she was just a senior venture capital manager at Wave Capital. The title sounded impressive, but in reality, she was just a slightly higher-class employee, not even worth Ding Yi's attention.
Ding Yi's words were overheard by Zhang Gaolei, who laughed and said, "You, Old Ding, have such sharp eyes. That woman is indeed quite ambitious."
He then told Ding Yi what had happened when he and Huang Xiaochuan were drinking at the bar last time. After listening, Ding Yi showed an expression that said, "I knew it."
He then jokingly teased his friend Huang Xiaochuan, "You were quite the ladies' man back in school, and you're still as charming as ever!"
Zhang Gaolei couldn't help but interject, "Give me a break! I admit that the female classmates in the past were all after Huang Xiaochuan's good looks, but these girls now? They're all after Huang the Richest Man's wallet."
Ding Yi deeply agreed with Zhang Gaolei's words and nodded in agreement with a wicked grin. Huang Xiaochuan looked at the two of them, his teeth grinding together.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally managed to squeeze out, "Are you leaving or not? If not, I'm leaving!"
As he was about to leave, Ding Yi quickly followed closely: "I came with you, so of course I'll go with you! Otherwise, I'll have to take a taxi back myself, and taxis are so expensive! By the way, you have to take me all the way home."
Huang Xiaochuan was amused by this guy.
At this moment, Zhang Gaolei also said, "If you're leaving, then there's no point in me staying. I'll leave too."
In the car, Ding Yi spoke without any restraint. He complained to his friend, "My son isn't close to me at all. There are only two people in his heart: his mother and your Xiaoduo. I've been back for the past few days, trying to spend some quality time with him, but I've only gotten the cold shoulder."
Huang Xiaochuan immediately stared at the guy with a wary expression. Based on his understanding of Ding Yi, this guy wouldn't mention his daughter for no reason.
Sure enough, here comes the follow-up.
"There's nothing I can do! My son doesn't care about me, but I still have to think about him. I finally managed to discuss with my son that I would take him out for a day to strengthen our father-son bond, but then he made a condition: he wanted to bring your Xiaoduo along. I thought about it, and it wasn't an unreasonable request. Besides, the two kids have been playing together since they were little and have a good relationship, so I agreed to Ding Xiaojia's request."
Huang Xiaochuan was now displeased: "Hey, what do you mean you agreed? I haven't even agreed yet! Why should you decide what's going on with my daughter's affairs?"
Ding Yi put on a look of disdain: "You're so petty. What do you mean by 'your daughter' and 'my daughter'? Why are you so particular? In my heart, Xiao Duo is just like my own daughter."
Unfortunately, Huang Xiaochuan wasn't fooled at all: "Come on, let's get this straight. If you want a daughter, let your Huan-jie have one for you. Don't even think about mine."
Unfortunately, he underestimated Ding Yi's shamelessness. Ding Yi had already asked Qi Huan to speak to Yu Xiang, and Yu Xiang had already agreed, but Huang Xiaochuan was not aware of it yet.
