When Li Xingyao came out, she happened to see this scene.
She didn't know why, but she still begged for Chen Dongcheng.
Of course, Gu Xiuwen and Chen Jianye just beat it a few times without any pain, so that this bastard would not have long to bring them back a group of daughters-in-law.
"Uncle and auntie, please calm down, maybe there is some misunderstanding."
Li Xingyao patted Gu Xiuwen's back gently.
"Oh, Auntie is fine. You should go to bed early and go to your grandpa's house tomorrow."
Before leaving, Gu Xiuwen gave Chen Dongcheng a vicious look.
After receiving the signal, Chen Dongcheng was extremely well-behaved and didn't even dare to fart.
Li Xingyao waited for Gu Xiuwen to close the bedroom door and couldn't help laughing.
Chen Dongcheng glared at Li Xingyao: "Sleep."
"oh."
Li Xingyao had just finished taking a shower, her fair and tender face was full of fairy spirit.
Not only boys like to look at girls' boudoirs, but girls also like to visit boys' rooms.
Li Xingyao found that Chen Dongcheng's room was clean and tidy, except for a poster of Lao Zhan dunking on the wall.
There are some extracurricular books on the bookshelf. Of course they are all purchased decorations. Chen Dongcheng has not even looked through them.
The first time she came to her boyfriend's house, Li Xingyao lay on the bed and tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
Some time ago, when she was at home, she was absentmindedly counting the days.
Her parents didn't agree with her going at first, and they couldn't resist her, so they finally let her out.
Chen Dongcheng replied with some messages casually.
Li Xingyao is very smart, she will not take the initiative to check her boyfriend's phone.
Even if you really find something, will you break up because of this?
Li Xingyao thought he couldn't do it, so he might as well come up with the most versatile sentence and leave everything to time.
Chen Dongcheng is indeed very busy during this period. The annual meetings of his various companies have turned him into a trapeze artist, constantly switching between Pengcheng and Magic City.
"Done!"
Chen Dongcheng finished typing, turned off the phone and threw it aside, turned off the light and went to sleep.
Li Xingyao leaned closely against Chen Dongcheng, feeling so at ease for the first time.
The uncertainty before became relieved the moment Chen Dongcheng took him home.
Gu Xiuwen personally told Li Xingyao that she was the first girl Chen Dong brought home when he grew up, so the meaning was naturally different.
During dinner in the evening, Gu Xiuwen gave him a card after meeting him. Li Xingyao couldn't refuse, so she reluctantly accepted it.
There wasn't much money in it, just one hundred thousand and one yuan.
The meaning is very simple, it is to express their satisfaction with her.
"Do you think we'll make it to the end?"
Li Xingyao couldn't help but ask.
"Hululu..."
Chen Dongcheng pretended to be sleeping and snoring. He couldn't answer this kind of question at all.
"Annoying."
Li Xingyao pushed Chen Dongcheng funny and sighed helplessly: "I will definitely do it."
After saying that, he turned off the desk lamp next to him and gradually fell asleep.
Chen Dongcheng listened to Li Xingyao's even breathing and breathed a sigh of relief.
…
On New Year's Eve, auspicious snow heralds a good harvest.
There was heavy white snow outside the window. Inside, Gu Xiuwen and Chen Jianye finished cleaning up the house and put up Spring Festival couplets.
A family of four drove to visit the old man. The old man was naturally happy to see his grandson, and he was even more overjoyed to see his grandson's wife.
"Come in quickly, old lady, get the red envelope."
Li Xingyao called her grandparents sweetly, making the old man's wrinkled hands tremble slightly with excitement.
Grandma left in response and returned shortly after, holding a red envelope in her hand.
Looking at the bulge inside, you can tell that there is a lot of money.
"A little bit of our thoughts."
Grandma lovingly put the red envelope into Li Xingyao's hand.
Li Xingyao resisted: "Grandma, I accept your wishes, but I really can't accept them."
"Take it."
Chen Dongcheng accepted it for Li Xingyao. Since the old man gave it, don't refuse it.
"Thank you, grandparents."
Li Xingyao quickly thanked her, her mouth was very sweet.
The old man is the happiest at this time of the year, especially this year is different from previous years, Li Xingyao is also here.
The whole family had a great time at the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening.
Chen Dongcheng and Li Xingyao took action and cooked a table of delicious dishes that the family was full of praise for.
Gu Xiuwen's eyes were bright, and she quietly said to Chen Jianye: "Old Chen, look at how good this girl Xingyao is. Not only is she beautiful, but she also cooks well."
"Well, it doesn't matter if we are satisfied, we have to agree with this kid."
"What does he have to disagree with? Anyway, other girls can't pass my test."
Gu Xiuwen frowned, not knowing what would happen if he set up a fg randomly.
Chen Dongcheng had previously bought a Master Chef experience card for Li Xingyao.
After the effect ends, Li Xingyao gains the ability of a Fujian cuisine expert.
This level of cooking skills is enough to apply for a job in a star-rated restaurant.
Buddha jumps over the wall, lychee meat, fried oysters...
Chen Dongcheng became the mastermind. Compared with the expert of Cantonese cuisine, he is naturally a step behind.
In the past half month, Li Xingyao has successfully raised the favorability of Chen Dongcheng's family to the highest level.
Before leaving, Gu Xiuwen was reluctant to leave.
"Let this bastard bring you back when you have time. Your uncle and I will welcome you at any time."
"Yes, you and your uncle should go back first. We have also passed the security check."
Li Xingyao nodded obediently.
Chen Dongcheng was called aside by Gu Xiuwen, who warned him.
"Your father and I are very fond of this girl. Go back and cut off those girls as long as they need to be cut off. Do you hear me?"
"Well, don't worry."
Chen Dongcheng said perfunctorily, hugged Gu Xiuwen and Chen Jianye respectively, and said, "Come over anytime if you miss me."
"Thinking too much, I'll be so angry when I see you."
Gu Xiuwen rolled her eyes at Chen Dongcheng angrily, it was obvious that she meant what she said.
After all, it was a piece of meat that fell from her body, so she would definitely think about it.
"I have prepared a surprise for you and will contact you later."
Chen Dongcheng was mysterious and mysterious, which piqued the curiosity of Gu Xiuwen and Chen Jianye.
Chen Jianye suddenly thought of something, his face became strange, and he quickly said: "Although your mother and I are ready to raise a baby for you, you haven't graduated yet, so we definitely can't do it now."
"Forget it, I'll tell you later."
Chen Dongcheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and planned to wait until the house in Hangzhou was renovated.
After hugging each other again, Chen Dongcheng pulled Li Xingyao and waved to Gu Xiuwen and Chen Jianye and passed the security check.
Chen Jianye looked at his wife, whose eyes were red: "Didn't you promise not to cry?"
"Who is crying? I have sand in my eyes. I didn't think about that heartless brat."
Gu Xiuwen continued to be tough.
Chen Jianye looked up at the ceiling of the airport to see where the sand came from.
"Okay, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Let's try not to let this ship go astray."
"It's already sailing crookedly. I regret why I didn't prepare a backup boat. Now I'm so angry with this bastard."
Gu Xiuwen couldn't understand why her son was so ordinary.
Why did things change so much after going to college?
…
The plane took off, and Li Xingyao sat on the far side by the window, looking out at the vast white snow.
"What's wrong?"
"A little bit sad."
"That's not easy. We'll just have to come back next year."
"My family won't agree. Being able to do it once this year has already made my parents very angry."
Li Xingyao turned sideways and looked at Chen Dongcheng, handing him the bank card and the 10,010 red envelope.
"What are you doing?"
"I'll let you have this first. This is what your family gave to your daughter-in-law. If we come to the end, I will ask for this money again. If not..."
Before Li Xingyao finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Chen Dongcheng.
"We will definitely make it to the end, so you can keep this money with peace of mind."
The red envelope and card were back in his hands, and Li Xingyao didn't care at all.
What she cared about more was Chen Dongcheng's firm tone.
"Well, I also believe that we can get to the end."
Li Xingyao softened her tone and leaned on Chen Dongcheng's shoulder, speaking softly.
Arriving at Bao'an Airport, Chen Dongcheng first sent Li Xingyao home, and then went to Shangdong Technology.
Today is a good day for Shangdong Technology. The C round of financing has finally been reached.
Tengxun will no longer follow the investment this round. The reason is very simple. It’s just that the tea is cool after people leave.
The projects that Peng Zhijian is optimistic about do not mean that his successor is also optimistic about them.
Even though Tengxun did not follow suit, Peng Zhijian spent a lot of time convincing several other institutions to finalize this round of financing.
After the investment, the valuation was US$500 million, and this round of financing raised a total of US$50 million.
This instantly caused an earthquake in the Internet fitness industry.
This round of business not only refreshed the records of the Internet fitness industry, but also caused more venture capital institutions to start paying attention to this market.
China's demographic dividend has always been the ultimate reason for the rapid rise in valuations of Internet companies.
For a long time, the development of offline gyms has reached a bottleneck.
But online fitness, keep, which has a huge user base, is another model.
It has nearly 100 million users and nearly 30 million daily active users.
From the perspective of traffic alone, it is enough for any investment institution to take a gamble.
Of course, the core factor is that keep has successively proven several profitable directions.
Whether it is treadmills co-branded by keep, paid courses, or some peripheral products, many keep users have paid for them.
Proving that keep has the ability to monetize is very important for hesitant investors.
"Congratulations to Mr. Chen, we have added another company with unlimited potential."
Peng Zhijian shook hands with Chen Dongcheng and said with a smile.
"Thank you to Mr. Peng for your optimism. This financing is thanks to Mr. Peng for arranging it."
Chen Dongcheng thought to himself that Peng Zhijian and he were really destined, and he was chosen by Peng Zhijian for several projects in succession.
Peng Zhijian has a ruthless vision, and the companies he invests in are unlikely to miss their targets.
The most important thing is that Chen Dongcheng is a cheating player, and the companies he founded basically have great potential to be tapped.
"Your own efforts are more important. With Cao Cao's speed, the conditions I offered should be generous enough, right?"
Peng Zhijian said with emotion: "I personally admire Mr. Chen's vision very much. If possible, I hope Mr. Chen will join Yuansheng Capital as a partner."
"Sorry, I have my own investment company."
Chen Dongcheng smiled and shook his head in refusal. He did know that many companies were waiting for help, eagerly waiting for the patronage of many investors.
But the key is that there is not much money at the moment, and the next few big plans will require huge financial support.
During the Chinese New Year, Chen Dongcheng often received information from Lu Guangyu about Cao Cao's Suda financing.
Peng Zhijian is very optimistic about the field of instant delivery. Companies that can solve the last three-mile problem will take the initiative.
Just by looking at the cooperation between Hungry? and Cao Cao Suda, you can see how important delivery is to a food delivery platform.
Some investors questioned that Cao Cao Suda is just a crowdsourcing platform and has too much freedom.
As long as other platforms offer higher benefits, delivery workers may change jobs at any time.
Of course, the main reason is that the valuation issue cannot be reached.
The project is definitely a good project, there is no doubt about it.
"With a valuation of US$300 million, Mr. Peng is indeed courageous."
Chen Dongcheng felt a little emotional, there is a reason why some people can succeed.
In addition to his good vision and deep connections, Peng Zhijian's courage in doing things is also one of the essential factors for his success.
"If I hadn't tried so hard to keep Didi here, I would have gone to Ahri long ago."
Peng Zhijian rarely has moments of pride, but Didi is undoubtedly one of his most proud creations.
"I will notify Guangyu and be ready for due diligence at any time and fully cooperate with Mr. Peng."
"Cao Cao's 10% stake in Suda is really hard to get."
Peng Zhijian smiled and shook his head: "I have a bigger appetite this time, and I took 10% of the shares alone. There are also objections within the company.
I hope to prove to them with facts that I was right."
"I believe Mr. Lu will give you a satisfactory answer."
Chen Dongcheng knows very well that Cao Cao's potential is definitely not only 300 million US dollars.
"Okay, Mr. Chen, stay here. I have other company founders to meet. Let's talk another day."
Peng Zhijian looked at his watch and left in a hurry.
Zhuang Manting was chatting with investors from other institutions, which was a way to strengthen their relationship.
We are all grasshoppers on the same front. Only by sticking together for warmth and uniting as one can we make the company bigger and bigger.
All investors left one after another, and Zhuang Manting announced the good news of the successful Series C financing under the watchful eyes of all employees.
"That's awesome! We're in round C!"
"I can't believe we survived!"
"Awesome, we will definitely be able to go public!"
…
Surprise sounds kept coming, and the employees couldn't hide their excitement.
Having seen many companies lay off employees, it is not easy for Keep to reach this point.
Especially some time ago, there was vague news that investors were not optimistic about keep, which made people inside the company panic.
Now that the investment has been finalized, many investors have shown up, and the morale of the company has been determined.
"Both Director Chen and I have seen everyone's past efforts. The next step we need to do is to explore more ways to make money and turn users into profits."
After Zhuang Manting concluded, she left with a smile, leaving behind many employees who could not calm down.
As the brains of the company, she must remain calm and accept everything with the calmest attitude.
After round C, in addition to continuing to place ads and harvest users.
The research and development of paid courses and testing the waters of paid subscription have begun to become the main theme of Sundong Technology.
Back in the office, Zhuang Manting was finally able to take off her disguise and celebrate this joy with Chen Dongcheng.
I forgot how many days and nights I worked hard to raise funds.
Now that the financing was finally completed, Zhuang Manting found that she still felt a little empty.
"Congratulations, but you have to be prepared.
In June at the latest, I will take you to the Magic City to create our new business territory."
Chen Dongcheng saw Zhuang Manting's business management skills getting better and better, and his impulse to launch the project he had been planning for a long time became stronger and stronger.
It is estimated that by June, it will not be difficult for Zhuang Manting to break through the expert level in business management capabilities.
How could he rest assured that a company with a market value of tens of billions of dollars did not have expert-level business management capabilities?
For professional managers, this level of ability is normal.
But their loyalty will definitely be marked with a big greeting by Chen Dongcheng.
Among the people Chen Dongcheng trusts most, Zhuang Manting definitely ranks third, second only to her parents.
