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 go on stage to speak?"
Lu Chen was 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 come 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 crowding around and being surrounded by major media outlets.
A businessman is a businessman, not a star.
This 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 called me?"
"yes!"
"Wait a minute, let me strike a pose."
Seeing the person holding a 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 people."
"Um?"
Lu Chen was stunned, and turned around to see a middle-aged woman behind him making a cute gesture like a girl, but her face was purpler than an eggplant.
Zhen frowned at Lu Chen.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Lu Chen hurriedly moved out of the way.
The middle-aged woman finally put on what she thought was her brightest smile and made cute moves for the camera.
Seeing this action, Lu Chen almost spit out the wine he just drank.
"Let's go, why are you still standing there?"
At this time, Ning Hongze had already pulled Lu Chen towards the door of the TV station.
Lu Chen was dragged to the room next to the interview room by Ning Hongze to prepare simple makeup.
There were workers from the TV station who made tea for the two of them before they could sit down and rest.
"Dr. Ning, it's your turn."
A young man in work clothes ran over quickly and said, "Well, okay, no need to put on makeup."
Lu Chen followed Ning Hongze and walked toward the interview room, which was about a hundred square meters.
"Now we invite Ning Hongze, the business legend of Linhai City, Chairman Ning to appear!"
At this time, a male host's voice 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, he went to work in the countryside.
Later, it was nothing more than seizing the opportunity to do business overseas and creating 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 subject like this.
"I heard that Chairman Ning is cultivating the next generation. I wonder who you will choose to take your place.
Isn't she your daughter, Mr. Ning? Everyone knows that you are just a precious daughter."
"Haha, if you are a female college student, your daughter will have to get married sooner or later.
Sooner or later, the Ning family will have to change its surname, so today I have 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 a little-known 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 and sit here."
Xu Fang politely asked Lu Chen to sit on the sofa 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 how it is.
Is it that simple?
Don’t you think Mr. Ning would like Mr. Lu, who is so talented, 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 little girl already has another partner, so it’s 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 around and asked 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.
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, looking at the camera looking at him with some inexplicable nervousness.
"Okay, that's it for this episode.
Thank you, Mr. Ning and Mr. Lu, for visiting this column.
The title sponsor of this show..." The host stood up and shook hands with Lu Chen and Ning Hongze.
"Is this the end?"
Lu Chen was a little noncommittal. In this situation, he only said three sentences in total when he came on stage, and two of them were still dispensable.
This screen debut is 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, not forgetting to look back to see if it was written beautifully.
Finally, a knowledgeable person came to ask for his autograph.
Ning Hongze, who was on the other side, scribbled randomly on the notebook and handed it back to them.
"Okay, everyone can have a rest."
As he said 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, that was also his 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 looked at Lu Chen who was stunned on the spot and reminded him again.
"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."
I saw 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 this how I sold my screen debut?"
Lu Chen said somewhat dumbfounded.
"Well, this show still has some ratings. You will become famous after today."
Xu Fang was very confident in his program 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 words?"
Lu Chen was still dazed.
"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.
"Xiaochen, you are now famous. Don't forget me if you are a popular drinker in the future."
Yao Wei naturally pays more attention to the dynamics 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 such thing as a free lunch, so how could Ning Hongze trust himself with his own property?
Do you believe that I only saved his life and he can hand over the property to himself?"
"That's right.
If it were me, I would just marry my daughter to you."
"That's right."
"Haha, your true purpose has been exposed!"
"What I'm talking about is reasonable. I saved my father's father, 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."
"how?
The hosts all say that I am a talented person."
"Don't you know that there is a sentence called irony in Chinese?"
