Mr. Zhang: What! Wang Shaojun wants to acquire Douyin?

Looking at those two slender, fair, jade-like fingers in front of him, Wang Shaojun's brain suddenly crashed.

He was deeply puzzled. Signing on arms, the northern, southern, eastern, or western hemispheres, or even on palms or thighs, he could understand, but this? He really couldn't understand.

He immediately looked up at the other person. Although he couldn't see her face, it was clear that she was a tall woman.

"Signing on your finger, are you... sure? It's very easy to wash off when you wash your hands. Do you want to pick another spot?"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the other person's body trembled inexplicably, and she replied in a low voice: "Just sign here, Brother Shaojun~"

Xiaohei, by Wang Shaojun's side, heard this voice, its eyes widened, and its mouth slightly opened. With its keen sense of smell, it picked up an unusual scent on her at that moment.

Hearing this, Wang Shaojun didn't say anything more. With a wave of his hand, he signed his name on her two fingers.

The people around were stunned. Wang Shaojun was confused, but they weren't; they watched a lot of videos and had wild imaginations.

"Holy crap! No way, this actually works?"

"Yeah, I think Brother Shaojun is right; it really is easy to wash off."

"Are you stupid? Can't you just wrap it in plastic wrap when you wash your hands?"

"Damn, A-Gan! You really are a genius, how come I didn't think of that."

"Wait, what are you guys talking about? Isn't it just washing hands? How can you wash them clean if you wrap them in plastic wrap?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people around turned to look. "Damn, there's another expert here?"

"What are you all talking about? Isn't it just a simple signature? It's the same wherever you sign, right? Does it really make a difference? Although, yeah, once water hits it, it'll turn black."

"Wait, there's... there's another expert?"

Wang Shaojun didn't think as much as they did. After signing for the last girl, the guys' signatures were much more normal.

Compared to signatures, they cared more about photos. After all, having this photo was a face-saving thing, and maybe it would become something to brag about later.

After everything was over, Wang Shaojun felt his hand was a bit tired. He didn't know if it was because he used too much force when signing for the girls or what.

"Alright, brothers, the photos are taken, the signatures are done, let's disperse. I can't perform any talents for you, so why waste your time?"

Seeing him say this, the fans were immediately unhappy.

"Brother Shaojun, what are you saying? How is this a waste of time? Even without talent, you can tell us about Heavenly Palace Group's future development plans, give us a lead, and let us have a sip of soup."

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this. This is good, this is good.

"Yeah, yeah! I didn't get a sip of soup from Yuanyang Group or Tianmen Group before. Brother Shaojun, I have no money to eat, please open your golden mouth, Brother Shaojun."

Hearing this, Wang Shaojun smiled bitterly and raised his hand, and the scene instantly quieted down.

"You guys are putting me in a tough spot. I'm not Buffett, and I don't usually ask about group affairs; Yi Zhongtian handles all of that."

"It's not that I won't give you a tip, but who knows? Maybe I'll acquire TikTok tomorrow. Who can say for sure about these things?"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, someone quickly grasped the key information from that sentence.

"Holy crap, thanks Brother Shaojun, I get it now."

"Wait, buddy~ What do you get?"

"Are you guys stupid? Don't you understand what Brother Shaojun meant? He wants to acquire TikTok."

"Oh! So that's it. Hmm, according to Brother Shaojun's habits, does he want to short it first?"

"Damn, that makes sense!"

"Brother Shaojun has spoken, brothers, let's disperse. Don't disturb Brother Shaojun's walk."

In less than ten minutes, the Bund, which was packed with people just a moment ago, was more than half empty.

Wang Shaojun was dumbfounded by this scene.

Wait, did I say anything? You guys are over-interpreting everything.

Before he could even explain, the crowd had scattered.

Word spread quickly, and this news soon began to ferment on the internet.

"Brother Shaojun to Acquire TikTok!"

Once this headline appeared, the internet exploded instantly.

"Holy crap, is this real or fake? Which big-shot can come out and explain?"

"It's real, I was there at the scene. Brother Shaojun said it himself."

"I was there too. Brother Shaojun said he would short TikTok tomorrow and then acquire it."

"Bullshit, Brother Shaojun clearly said he was going to buy the entire ByteDance."

"That's right, that's it. He said Xiaoming wouldn't give me traffic... pfft, I mean, wouldn't give Duck Egg Superman traffic. Brother Shaojun was angry and wants to acquire ByteDance, and then fire Xiaoming."

"You guys are enough. The internet environment is ruined by people like you. And those idiots who are over-interpreting it—Brother Shaojun never said he would short ByteDance. Everyone, calm down."

"Brother, you're wrong. Everyone says Brother Shaojun is going to acquire TikTok, only you say he isn't. Oh, I get it now. You want to sneak onto the train yourself, don't you? So we don't even have a chance to get a sip of soup. What a vicious scheme."

Meanwhile! TikTok Headquarters! Inside President Zhang's office!

"What! Heavenly Palace Group is going to short us?"

"Yes... yes, President Zhang. This matter is spreading like wildfire, and the internet has exploded."

"Impossible. It must be a rumor spread by someone with ulterior motives. This is outrageous! Quickly find out who is spreading this rumor. It's lawless! We must make them pay the price."

Damn, is this kind of rumor something that can just be spread around?

With Wang Shaojun's current influence, one wave of his arm and a hundred followers would respond. If his rivals took advantage of the situation to kick him while he was down—well, you can't deny it—even if he could withstand it in the end, it would be enough to cause him a lot of trouble.

Furthermore, even he didn't know Wang Shaojun's background, but judging from the previous two acquisition battles, the cash in the other party's hands was absolutely massive.

Thinking about this, he immediately started to tremble with fear. Just as he was about to pick up the phone to test Wang Shaojun's intentions...

Suddenly, a middle-aged man holding a tablet rushed in in a panic. "President Zhang, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! This whole thing is caused by Wang Shaojun's fans over-interpreting things. Look at this video."

"Also, just a moment ago, Wang Shaojun himself posted a statement on his account saying he has no intention of acquiring TikTok. Everything spreading online is caused by fans over-interpreting."

After saying this, he hurriedly placed the tablet in front of President Zhang. It was a video of Wang Shaojun on the Bund, which included the scene of Xiaohei picking people, and the sentence Wang Shaojun said afterwards.

After watching the video, President Zhang couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

"Quick, hurry up and push this video! And include Wang Shaojun's video as well. I want users to see these two videos as the first things they scroll through when they open TikTok."

"Yes, I'll go handle it right now."

After only President Zhang was left in the office, he slowly picked up his teacup, but for some reason, his hand holding the teacup was trembling slightly.

If it were anyone else saying they wanted to acquire TikTok, he would scoff at it, but unfortunately, that person was Wang Shaojun.

Not for any other reason, but because this guy's track record is verifiable!
