Sitting in the extended-length Rolls-Royce sedan, Ning Hongze held up half a glass of red wine and motioned to Lu Chen, who was sitting next to him, to take out a wine glass as well.
Lu Chen awkwardly picked up the wine glass, and the two clinked their glasses together, with Ning Hongze taking a sip first.
"How about it? You should know what to say later."
"Do you still want me to speak on stage?" Lu Chen felt a little unnatural. When he arrived at Ning's house, he got in the car directly. Ning Hongze wanted to take him to some interview event.
"Of course I won't let you go back empty-handed when I bring you here. You are too low-key. Sometimes being too low-key is not a good thing." Ning Hongze smiled. He had his own plans for bringing Lu Chen along for this economic interview.
Just as the car stopped steadily, the door next to Ning Hongze opened first. Ning Hongze got out of the car with a stride, followed by Lu Chen.
This interview was not a celebrity walking on a red carpet. The carpet was red, but there were no scenes of fans and major media surrounding it. A businessman is a businessman, not a celebrity. This fact made Lu Chen slightly disappointed.
At any rate, one or two reporters with cameras would come and snap a few photos of the two of them to satisfy their own sense of vanity.
"Hello!"
Lu Chen turned his head. At this time, a man with a camera rushed to Lu Chen and shouted.
"you call me?"
"yes!"
"Wait a minute, let me pose." Looking at the person holding the camera, Lu Chen mistakenly thought that this man in ordinary clothes was a reporter.
"Can you please stop blocking the camera? I'm taking photos for others."
"Huh?" Lu Chen was stunned. He turned around and saw a middle-aged woman behind him making a cute gesture like a girl, but her face was purpler than an eggplant. She frowned at Lu Chen.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Lu Chen quickly moved out of the way.
The middle-aged woman finally put on what she thought was her brightest smile and started making cute moves for the camera. Seeing these moves, Lu Chen almost spit out the wine he just drank.
"Let's go, why are you standing there stupidly?" At this time, Ning Hongze had already pulled Lu Chen towards the door of the TV station.
Lu Chen was pulled by Ning Hongze to the room next to the interview room to prepare for simple makeup. There were TV station workers who made tea for the two of them before they could sit down and rest.
"Director Ning, it's your turn." A young man in work clothes ran over quickly, "Well, okay, no need to put on makeup." Lu Chen followed Ning Hongze towards the piece of clothing that was about a hundred square meters.
Walked past the interview room.
"Now we invite Ning Hongze, the business legend of Linhai City, Chairman Ning to appear!" At this time, the voice of a male host came over.
There was thunderous applause. Unexpectedly, this huge interview room was already packed with people at this time. Lu Chen also wanted to follow but was stopped by another staff member.
"It's not your turn yet, don't worry."
Lu Chen could only watch behind the scenes as a relatively mature male host shook hands with Ning Hongze, and then the two sat down and started chatting.
It just starts with the history of Ning Hongze's fortune. From an ordinary educated youth to going to the countryside to join a team. Later, he just seized the opportunity to do business overseas and created such a business legend.
Time passed quickly as the two chatted.
"Get ready, it's your turn."
Sure enough, the male host on stage changed the topic like this.
"I heard that Chairman Ning is cultivating the next generation. I wonder who you will choose to take over your position. It won't be your daughter, Chairman Ning. Everyone knows that you are just a precious daughter."
"Haha, you can't get admitted into university. My daughter will get married sooner or later. Sooner or later, the Ning family will have to change its surname. So, today I brought my successor here so that everyone can get familiar with it."
"It can't be your son-in-law. Let's take a sneak peek."
Lu Chen slowly walked to the center of the stage under the instructions of the staff. At this time, there was thunderous applause. I didn't expect that an unknown person could get so many people's applause. Lu Chen never expected it.
"Hello, I am the host, Xu Fang."
"Hello, my name is Lu Chen."
"I really didn't expect Mr. Lu to be so young. Sit here." Xu Fang politely asked Lu Chen to sit on the sofa closely next to Ning Hongze.
"I wonder what the relationship between Mr. Lu and Director Ning is?" Xu Fang asked curiously.
"Oh, this Mr. Lu saved my life."
"So that's it. Is it that simple? Doesn't Mr. Ning want the talented Mr. Lu to be his son-in-law?"
Lu Chen felt a little arrogant at this time. How could he be praised as a talented person? How could he still be Ning Hongze's son-in-law?
"My daughter already has another partner, so it is not convenient to reveal her private life here. Do you want to leave it to Mr. Lu? I have now handed over 5% of the shares of Hongze Group to his hands."
"It seems that Mr. Lu has been promoted to the ranks of the rich overnight. I wonder how Mr. Lu feels now." The host Xu Fang then turned to ask Lu Chen, who didn't say much.
"Well, it feels good."
"Haha, Mr. Lu seems to be a frank person."
"I wonder what your next plan is, Mr. Ning?"
"Me? Of course I want to see if Mr. Lu is qualified for the position of future chairman. I will focus on training him."
"Mr. Lu, you are really lucky to be valued by Director Ning."
"Haha, thank you!" Lu Chen smiled and didn't know what to say. He looked at the camera and felt inexplicably nervous.
"Okay, that's it for this episode. Thank you, Mr. Ning and Mr. Lu, for coming to this column. The sponsor of this program..." The host stood up and shook hands with Lu Chen and Ning Hongze.
"Is this the end?" Lu Chen was a little noncommittal. What kind of situation was this? He only said three sentences in total when he came on stage, and two of them were dispensable. This screen debut was a bit too shabby.
At this time, the audience in the audience rushed up to talk to the two people, and some even came up to ask for their autographs.
Lu Chen naturally agreed very politely and wrote his name in the notebook meticulously. He didn't forget to look back to see if it was written beautifully. Finally, a knowledgeable person came to ask for his signature.
Ning Hongze, who was on the other side, scribbled randomly on the notebook and handed it back to them.
"Okay, everyone can take a rest." After saying this, the cameraman finally put the camera back. And the audience seemed to be liberated.
The person who originally signed Lu Chen's signature threw the book into the air and ignored Lu Chen's signature which was still flying in the wind.
"Hey, I don't even want your signature." Lu Chen was a little angry because it was also his own signature.
"Director, you asked me to come and listen to this show, and you will give me tickets for Stars Go Forward."
"Okay, you all go backstage and I'll give you tickets."
"Why are you still standing there stupidly?" Ning Hongze reminded him again as he looked at Lu Chen who was stunned on the spot.
"Are these people trustworthy?"
"Do you think so many people like to watch Business Legends? I am a powerful person, not an idol person." Ning Hongze smiled. It turned out that this kid didn't even know that these people were invited here.
"You must have acted too hard." Seeing a little girl clapping so hard that her palms turned red, I really admire these extras.
"How can you get a ticket if you don't work hard?" At this time, Xu Fang came over and said angrily.
"Is my screen debut just sold out like this?" Lu Chen said, somewhat dumbfounded.
"Okay, this show still has some ratings. You will become famous after today." Xu Fang was very confident about his show and came over to continue talking to Lu Chen.
"But I only said three sentences."
"One sentence is enough." Ning Hongze patted Lu Chen on the shoulder.
"What are you talking about?" Lu Chen was still confused.
"My name is Lu Chen." Ning Hongze said angrily.
As expected, Lu Chen's photo appeared on every newspaper page the next day, and some economic times even sold Lu Chen's photo as a front page.
Although Lu Chen is not a star, he is really famous, not in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the business circle of Lin Hai. He has a new title, Ning Hongze's successor.
"Xiao Chen, you are now famous. Those who are popular and drink spicy food must not forget me in the future." Yao Wei naturally pays more attention to the developments in some business circles than others.
"I haven't really become a successor yet, and besides, I don't really like this title."
"It's such a good thing that it's pie in the sky, why don't you just enjoy it and start complaining?"
"There is no free lunch in the world. How can Ning Hongze trust himself to hand over his property to himself? Do you believe that he can hand over his property to himself after I only saved his life?"
"That's right. If it were me, I would marry my daughter to you."
"makes sense."
"Haha, your true purpose has been exposed!"
"What I'm talking about is reasonable. I saved my father's father, so why don't I make a promise or something?" Lu Chen said with some self-pity.
"You have a pretty good idea, and you don't want to urinate in order to reflect on your own virtue."
"What? The hosts all say that I am a talented person."
"Don't you know that there is a sentence called irony in Chinese?"
