Chapter 89 Zheng Jie's Surprise: So, he's going on a blind date today?

The meeting place with Chairman Qin was still Zheng Group. After all, this was serious business regarding an investment, and discussing such matters at the group headquarters would show that it was taken more seriously.

"Chairman Zheng."

Chairman Qin had been quite nervous at the hotel during this period, fearing that Zheng Group would refuse, so she was overjoyed after receiving the call from Zhang Wei.

"Chairman Qin, please sit. After our internal discussions over this period, we believe your company has great potential for development, so our group headquarters is very willing to invest in your company."

Hearing this, Chairman Qin nodded.

"Chairman Zheng, please trust in our company's strength. We believe this will certainly not disappoint you."

"Good. I also hope to receive the returns I desire. Please take a look; this is the contract. If there are no issues, we can sign it today."

At this moment, Zheng Jie handed over the contract in his hand. After taking it, Chairman Qin didn't even look at it and directly signed her name at the end of the contract. Zheng Jie smiled.

"Chairman Qin, you trust my character just like that?"

"Of course. After all, with your vast enterprise, I'm afraid you wouldn't have too many ulterior motives regarding our company, so it's better to just sign the contract. By the way, Chairman Zheng, I would like to discuss something with you."

Hearing this, Zheng Jie raised his head and looked at her.

"Let's hear it."

"I hope we can take a photo and then publicly announce your investment in our company. Do you think that's possible?"

In reality, Chairman Qin was considering this from a practical perspective. The reason was simple: what kind of person was Zheng Jie now? He was the head of Zheng Group, the absolute hegemon in the current commercial field. It was said that his influence in any field was quite terrifying. With someone like Zheng Jie around, whatever their company did next would achieve twice the result with half the effort. So, naturally, Chairman Qin would not pass up such an opportunity.

Zheng Jie was no fool; naturally, he understood what she meant.

"That is, of course, no problem at all."

"Whatever you want to do next is fine."

"After all, we are now a community of shared interests, aren't we?"

Hearing this, Chairman Qin breathed a sigh of relief.

"That is wonderful."

"This afternoon, the investment promised to your company will appear in your company's account."

"Understood. We will proceed at full throttle from here on."

"Hmm."

After seeing Chairman Qin off, Zheng Jie returned to his office. Ten-plus minutes later, there was a knock at the door.

"Come in."

The next second, Zhang Wei walked in, holding an invitation in his hand.

"Chairman."

Zhang Wei walked up to Zheng Jie and handed over the invitation.

"What is this?"

"An invitation sent by Old Zhou's side."

Generally, Zheng Jie would not attend such banquets because he felt they were useless and a waste of time, but the initiator was quite extraordinary.

Not to mention status, after Zheng Jie joined Zheng Group, the first important project he secured was with the help of Old Zhou. It was also because of this project that Zheng Jie was able to sit in the position of president of Zheng Group. If it hadn't been for that step, the subsequent matters would not have gone so smoothly.

"Old Zhou?"

When Zheng Jie spoke, his tone was full of curiosity.

"It is indeed so."

Old Zhou had been retired for about four years. After that, Old Zhou handed the company over to his son to manage. However, looking at the past few years, Old Zhou's son had very average abilities; the company had made forecasting errors in many fields, and its market value had fallen again and again. Recently, the company was nominally still managed by Old Zhou's son, but the actual person in power had become Old Zhou again.

However, even with the reduced market value, the entire Xingzhou Group currently still had a market value of around 700 billion, and its influence was quite significant.

"Currently, Xingzhou Group's development is not going smoothly. Old Master Zhou has returned to the scene to take charge of the group. I heard that Old Master Zhou has already given up on his son and has started vigorously cultivating his grandson, Zhou Min, and today is the big day of Zhou Min's engagement."

Hearing this, Zheng Jie nodded.

"What time does it start?"

"Five o'clock in the afternoon."

"Have the secretariat clear my schedule after 4 o'clock."

When dealing with enemies, Zheng Jie's actions were always quite ruthless, ensuring that the opponent would never have any possibility of making a comeback. However, Old Zhou was not an enemy to Zheng Jie; rather, he was someone who had extended a helping hand in the past. Therefore, even though Zheng Jie's strength now far exceeded Old Zhou's, Zheng Jie was very willing to give Old Zhou face.

Moreover, inviting Zheng Jie was likely because Old Zhou wanted to pave the way for his grandson, Zhou Min. If there were no surprises, besides Zheng Jie, the connections the Zhou Family had built over these years would all appear here.

"Understood."

After finishing this matter, Zhang Wei left. Watching Zhang Wei's departing back, Zheng Jie took out the invitation on the table, looked at it, and then put it down.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Old Li appeared in Zheng Jie's office.

"Boss."

"Hmm, let's go."

Zheng Jie had already changed his clothes. There was a small room inside the chairman's office where Zheng Jie could rest, and it also contained quite a few suits that Zheng Jie would usually need, making it convenient to change.

However, Zheng Jie's suits could really be said to be highly repetitive; they were all black suits. If one didn't know much about suits, one actually wouldn't be able to tell the difference between them.

Putting on the suit he had just changed into, Zheng Jie followed Old Li and left the chairman's office.

The venue hosted by the Zhou Family was not too far from the city center; it was a 7-star hotel. It was said that the Zhou Family had booked the entire hotel.

Arriving an hour early could be considered giving the Zhou Family sufficient respect. When Zheng Jie appeared at the hotel entrance, Old Li followed by his side, cautious throughout the whole process.

"Chairman Zheng."

Just at this moment, a voice came from behind.

Hearing this voice, Zheng Jie subconsciously looked over.

It was Old Zhou.

Behind Old Zhou followed a middle-aged man, who was his son, and behind this middle-aged man were a man and a woman who looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

The man among them should be Zhou Min.

And if Zheng Jie guessed correctly, the woman next to him should be Zhou Min's biological sister, Zhou Ya.

Zhou Ya was 165 cm tall and was the kind of girl with a delicate, girl-next-door temperament. Even someone like Zheng Jie, who had seen many beauties, would give Zhou Ya's looks a rating of 9.5; she was very beautiful.

"Old Master Zhou, why did you come in person..."

"Since you, Chairman Zheng, have arrived... how could I not come to welcome you? Come, Chairman Zheng, let me introduce you. This is my..."

Old Zhou pulled Zheng Jie over and started the introductions.

Only when introducing Zhou Ya, Old Zhou added an extra sentence.

"Chairman Zheng, Xiao Ya is the same age as you. You young people should interact more."

Hearing this, Zheng Jie immediately realized.

It seemed that Old Zhou had a second purpose in inviting him today.

That was to set him up on a blind date?
