Forcing Me to Be a Godly Tycoon, Right?

Chapter 1542 - 580: Filming the

Although Zhang Jingdong had expected that Zhang Xiaolong would honor his bet, he really hadn’t thought he’d agree so straightforwardly.So he said, "I didn’t expect you to be such a good loser."

Zhang Xiaolong said matter‑of‑factly, "Because if you’d brought this up back at the restaurant just now, I would have agreed then too."

"You’re someone who has his eyes on the future. I’m willing to walk with you and see what that future looks like."

In that instant, it all clicked for Zhang Jingdong. He immediately reached out his hand to him. "Welcome aboard. I’ll give it everything I’ve got and live up to your expectations."

Zhang Xiaolong nodded, then reached out and shook his hand.

After that, the two of them continued chatting by the court for quite a while.

At this point, Zhang Jingdong said, "Alright, I’ll go to your company tomorrow to talk about the acquisition. Are you coming with me now, or do you want to stay here a bit longer?"

Zhang Xiaolong replied, "I need to call a friend over to hit for a while. You just crushed me way too hard; I need to rebuild my confidence, or I might not want to play tennis ever again."

Zhang Jingdong said with a laugh, "Relax, besides being a tennis ace, I’m also a really good tennis coach. Every time I come to Guangzhou in the future I can give you some pointers. Three years at most, and I guarantee I’ll turn you into a semi‑pro!"

Zhang Xiaolong’s face instantly filled with surprise. "Really?"

"If I’m lying, I’m a dog... Alright, see you tomorrow!"

With that, Zhang Jingdong walked straight out of the court.

After leaving the club and getting into the car, Zhang Jingdong gave Xu Nuo a call.

It only rang twice before the other side picked up. "Hello..."

"Have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet. Yuanyuan says she’s not hungry, and I’m not that hungry either."

"In that case, I’ll come pick you up now and we’ll find a place to have some of your Guangzhou specialty hotpot, ’da bian lu’, okay?"

"Sure. You’re done over there already?"

"Yeah."

"How did the talk go?"

"Way better than expected. He’s already agreed to join our company."

"That’s insane, you pulled it off in under two hours!"

"Of course. Your boyfriend has always been way more impressive than you think!"

"...Alright then, come back. We’ll tidy up a bit and wait for you at the door."

"No need. I’ll text you when I’m almost there."

"Okay, see you in a bit."

"See you in a bit."

Putting away his phone, Zhang Jingdong said to the driver, "Let’s go home."

"Alright."

All the way, as he looked at the night scene outside the window, an inexplicable surge of excitement rose in Zhang Jingdong’s chest.

To be honest, even when he first founded Dongsheng Group, he’d never really thought about how big of an empire he wanted to build.

But now that he’d secured Zhang Xiaolong, this legendary figure who had already proven himself in his previous life, he suddenly felt that maybe he really could accomplish something great.

It was like when you’re playing a Three Kingdoms game: once you’ve got Guan Yu on your roster, if you don’t go out and make something big happen, you really feel like you’re wasting such luck.

So he carefully and seriously combed through his current business layout, and in the end he felt that even though he still didn’t have a true trump card in his hand, at least he’d already gotten himself onto the table.

Renren Network now had nearly forty million users, and he had also cultivated a mega–internet celebrity like Jiang Lai, who was approaching ten million followers.

In entertainment, he had already locked down Ning Hao, and Xiao Fei was now on the path to being a diva; for at least the next ten years she’d be one of the marquee names in Mainland pop.

As for real estate and the clothing company, he could definitely play those two cards to the hilt as well.

Thinking of all this, Zhang Jingdong’s blood gradually began to boil with ambition.

Just then, as the car passed through Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street, he pulled out his phone and texted Xu Nuo: Three more minutes, you two get ready to come out.

Xu Nuo replied quickly: Got it.

Before long, the car turned into a small alley, and from a distance, Zhang Jingdong saw Xu Nuo and Qi Siyuan standing at the gate of the villa.

Both of them had changed outfits.

Right now, Qi Siyuan was wearing a white spaghetti‑strap dress.

The neckline dipped a little low, and the hem of the skirt hung a good ten centimeters above her knees.

Sexy and sweet at the same time.

And Xu Nuo was, unusually, also dressed a bit on the skimpy side.

At the moment, she had on a tight white T‑shirt on top and a pair of black denim shorts on the bottom, showing off those absolutely stunning legs of hers.

Heat rushed through Zhang Jingdong’s chest in an instant.

Tsk tsk, tonight he definitely had to play some games with them.

Before long, the car pulled up in front of them, and Zhang Jingdong opened the door.

"I’m starving, get in already!"

Xu Nuo and Qi Siyuan both gave him a sweet smile, then climbed into the car one after the other.

Zhang Jingdong said, "I don’t know where you guys have the most authentic ’da bian lu’ hotpot, so you just pick a place."

Xu Nuo thought for a moment, then said to the driver, "Master Chen, let’s go to Hu Er."

"Okay!"

Once the car was back on the road, Xu Nuo sighed, "We thought you’d be talking until at least ten o’clock."

Zhang Jingdong shrugged. "Honestly, that’s what I thought too. I’d even prepared myself to stay up all night talking with him."

"But it turns out he’s a user of our Renren Network, and he also saw the future of our site, so everything suddenly got a lot simpler."

Qi Siyuan said at this point, "So Renren Network is one of your company’s products! Boss Zhang, Nuonuo and I are users of your site too!"

"Oh yeah..." Zhang Jingdong turned his head to look at Xu Nuo. "So what do you two think of our site?"

Qi Siyuan thought for a moment, then said, "I think some of the posts from your internet celebrities are really interesting, like that Jiang Lai."

"I had no idea the mountain villages in Gan Province were that beautiful. I’ve even decided that for my graduation trip I definitely have to go visit her hometown."
