Chapter 133: Hard to tell apart, like a cat or a tiger?
State Guesthouse, Building 7!

Su Chen, Shulaya and others were sitting in the chess and card room, playing mahjong leisurely.

Since returning from visiting the Forbidden City yesterday afternoon, everyone has been bored staying in the room, so Su Chen suggested playing mahjong to cultivate their sentiments.

At first, Shulaya was a little resistant to playing mahjong, but she couldn't think of anything fun to do. As for the idea of ​​going out to visit tourist attractions, she threw the idea out of her mind.

The Forbidden City alone made her want to give up. If it was the Great Wall, she would be exhausted to death halfway through.

She had also heard the saying "He who has not climbed the Great Wall is not a true man", but what did this have to do with a girl like her? There was no way she could climb the Great Wall.

In addition, it will snow in the capital in the next few days, making it even more inconvenient to go out and play.

With no other choice, he could only learn how to play mahjong under Su Chen's guidance to kill some free time.

Who would have thought that mahjong had a mysterious magic. After playing a few rounds, Shulaya became deeply addicted to playing mahjong.

Last night, Su Chen and others were forced to fight by Shulaya until after eleven o'clock.

Su Chen was also curious why her attitude changed so quickly. It only took a few hours from initial resistance to current love.

After some questioning, Shulaya said something that made Su Chen think deeply.

“Mahjong gives me the feeling of creating order out of chaos!”

"The random selection method and the ever-changing card games are just like our lives, different and full of surprises, looking for certainty in a chaotic and disordered world."

“When you touch the cards or play the cards, no one knows what will happen in the next second. Will it be a perfect surprise or a horrible upset?”

"Isn't this the joy that mahjong brings?"

Su Chen was also a little confused at the time. If for no other reason, it was because Shulaya had only played mahjong for a few hours, but he could actually come up with such a philosophical truth. For a moment, he couldn't figure out what kind of person Shulaya was.

After being in contact for such a long time, Su Chen realized that he had not really seen Shulaya clearly.

Is she a simple-minded little girl who loves to eat delicious food?
Or is he the heir to a wealthy family with ulterior motives?
Su Chen also had a question mark in his mind about this wealthy heir who was only 20 years old.

Come to think of it, how could a young lady from a wealthy family be as innocent as Su Chen saw her? She must have just disguised herself very well.

Thinking of the information Xiao Chen had provided him before, Su Chen was a little speechless. What a silly girl from a rich family who just wants to lie down? She is just hiding her incompetence.

The next time I meet Xiao Chen, I will definitely make fun of him.

"Sir, Mr. Zong called and said he has something to talk to you about!"

Su Chen and his friends were having fun. Chen Fei pushed open the door of the chess and card room and walked in, whispering beside Su Chen.

"Zong Xinyao is looking for me?" Although Su Chen didn't know what she wanted to talk to him about, he knew it must be important.

He turned to look at Shulaya, Jiang Yang and the others and said, "Wait for me for a moment. I'm going to answer a call!"

Shulaya nodded when she heard this. It was a good opportunity to take a break. She had lost a lot in the past few hours in the morning.

Although this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for her, the feeling of losing money is very unpleasant, especially when she keeps losing.

After finding a quiet room, Su Chen took the phone from Fade Chen, glanced at the screen to make sure the call was still on, and then said, "Xinyao, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Boss, Zhang Yiming called me. He seems to know that you acquired ByteDance's shares from Haina Capital and Original Code Capital, and he wants to meet with you to have a chat!"

"Hmm?" Su Chen frowned slightly. You know, a confidentiality agreement was signed when the acquisition was made, just to prevent the information from leaking out.

Besides Yuan Zhen and Lan Zhen, the two heads of the capital company, only Zong Xinyao knew about this matter.
As for how Zhang Yiming knew this matter, Su Chen believed that Zong Xinyao was not the one who leaked it. He was still very confident about this.

"Okay, I got it. Ask Zhang Yiming to call me and don't worry about this matter!" Su Chen's words were very straightforward. He wanted Zong Xinyao to concentrate on running the catering business.

"Okay, boss!" Zong Xinyao's tone was obviously much more relaxed. She wouldn't have to be so embarrassed in the future.

You should know that when Zhang Yiming invited Su Chen and others to participate in the financing project, he learned about it through Zong Xinyao. Yunmengze Capital is a newly established investment bank and its strength is not very strong.

But what Zhang Yiming didn't expect was that Yunmengze, whom he had found to act as a catfish, eventually turned into a giant Kun and squeezed out the other three investment banks.

In addition, Su Chen's behind-the-scenes operation to acquire ByteDance shares held by the other two investment banks made Zong Xinyao feel a little ashamed towards her old classmate. Of course, only a little bit.

After Su Chen spoke this time, Zong Xinyao no longer had to face Zhang Yiming, and the trace of shame in her heart disappeared.

Business is like a battlefield. There is no room for mercy when it comes to interests. If you care enough about your reputation, please ignore the previous sentence.

Zhang Yiming called soon. After a simple hello, Zhang Yiming went straight to the point, "Mr. Su, I wonder if it's convenient for you to meet today."

Su Chen raised his eyebrows when he heard this. It seemed that he had something to discuss with him. It was normal to think about it. After all, Su Chen held 45% of his shares. How could Zhang Yiming sleep well?
If you are not careful, you may wake up one day and find that the company is no longer yours.

"I have time now. If it's convenient for you, just come and see me!"

Hearing Su Chen say that he was free, Zhang Yiming also said excitedly: "Where is Mr. Su now? I will come to find you right away!"

"Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, Mr. Zhang should know this place!" A smile appeared on Su Chen's lips.

There was silence on the other end of the line. After about four or five seconds, Zhang Yiming's voice rang out, "Mr. Su, is the state guesthouse you mentioned the one I understand?"

"If you are thinking of the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in the imperial capital, then you should be right!" Su Chen was now very curious about Zhang Yiming's expression, but unfortunately he couldn't see it!

There were several heavy breathing sounds coming from the phone, and Su Chen knew what was wrong with Zhang Yiming.

"Mr. Su, I will be there in half an hour. Please arrange for someone to pick me up at the door!" Zhang Yiming no longer had the confidence he had before, and there was a hint of decadence in his words.

It seemed that what Su Chen said just now shocked him, and he even lost some confidence in speaking.

"Okay~" After saying that, Su Chen hung up the phone.

Glancing at Fade Chen standing next to him, Su Chen said, "Meet someone at the gate of the State Guesthouse in half an hour and take him directly to the tea room on the second floor. Oh, and here's your cell phone!"

Thinking that Chen Fei had not met Zhang Yiming yet, he simply handed his phone to him to avoid going through so many twists and turns.

"Okay, sir!" Fade Chen took the phone and left the room.

Su Chen pondered in the room for a long time before getting up and returning to the chess and card room.

"Shulaya, Lao Jiang, let's stop playing mahjong for now. It's almost time for dinner. Let's take a break and play in the afternoon!"

Jiang Yang knew at a glance that Su Chen had something to deal with, and he followed Su Chen's words and said, "Okay, I'll go to the kitchen to see if the stewed Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and boiled cabbage are ready."

As for Shulaya, she had no interest in Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and Boiled Cabbage, and nodded in agreement.

Building No. 7, tea room on the second floor!
Su Chen was leisurely drinking tea and looking at the scenery outside the window.

Building No. 7 is located in the center of the garden and has a panoramic view of the entire garden.

Although the garden is covered with snow in winter, the scenery in the garden is unique.

"Knock, knock, knock~" There was a gentle knock on the door.
The next second, the door opened and Fade Chen walked in with Zhang Yiming.

"Mr. Su~" Zhang Yiming called out with a little respect. His attitude was completely different from before.

Su Chen gestured towards the empty seat opposite, "Sit anywhere you want!"

Zhang Yiming sat on the chair with some trepidation. He had originally wanted to talk to Su Chen about the shares, but now he didn't know how to start the conversation.

Since receiving the B round of financing from Su Chen, ByteDance has expanded five times from its original base in just two months. In the C round of financing a few days ago, it even received the favor of Red Mountain Capital, raising 100 million US dollars for 10% of the shares.

It was also at that time that he learned from the head of Red Mountain Capital that Su Chen had acquired both the Angel Round and A Round shares.

As for how Redmountain Capital knew this, it was because they also had some thoughts and the report compiled by Redmount Capital's internal professional analysts was very optimistic about the future of ByteDance, so the top management wanted to buy more ByteDance shares now while they were cheap.

But after some investigation, it was discovered that an unknown capital company held 45% of the shares. Knowing that the purchase was hopeless, Hongshan Capital "accidentally" revealed this news to Zhang Yiming.

Originally, Zhang Yiming thought that he had obtained 100 million US dollars in financing and wanted to buy back part of the shares in Su Chen's hands, which led to the previous incident.

When he learned that Su Chen was at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, he knew that nothing could be done.

Zhang Yiming was considered to have some assets and had met many important figures, but not one of them was able to go to the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse on his own.

That's right, not even one! Even if I had the chance to go, I would only be there to accompany him. I couldn't bring people in openly like Chen Fei did.

It was only after he entered the State Guesthouse that he discovered that it was quite different from what he had imagined. The armed police passing by and the weapons they carried all shocked him.

Especially when Chen Fei parked the car in front of the door of Building 7, Zhang Yiming was shocked beyond words.

Although there is no number one in the State Guesthouse, he still understands that the closer the number is to the front, the more honorable the guest being received is.

"What kind of big shot did I find? I don't know whether it's good or bad for Byte!"
