Online Game: Three Kingdoms Era

  Back to Cao Cao's place, entrust, go offline.

  Just crawled out of the pantry and walked into the living room, I was immediately stunned.

  There were no sumptuous dishes. The living room was packed with people. My father still used his sharp eyes to scan each person, while my mother had a rich smile on her face, stirring up her glib tongue, chatting nonsense with those people.

  Seeing I had come out, my mother stopped her saliva business and said to others: "My son has come out."

  Upon hearing this sentence, everyone except for my parents stood up, faced me, and looked at me with excited and respectful eyes.

  After a while, a dignified and capable person burst out laughing: "Your Majesty has left the palace, haha!"

  Others also burst out laughing: "See your majesty, hahaahaha."

  I was completely bewildered. Had my family gone through a space-time shift and ended up in some tribal country, where I had been pushed to become the chief?

  I cast an inquiring glance at my mother.

  Before Old Mother could speak, the person who spoke first said: "Let me introduce myself first. I am Cheng Nai Rong, the president of the Cheng Da Group. This is Lang Tu Teng, the president of the Xin Lang Group. This is Ma Hua Mei, the president of the Mei Er Group. This is Pi Sai Liang, the president of the Qi Si Group. This is Niu Neng Fei, the chairman of the Fei Kuai Group. This is..."

  Cheng Nai Rong's mouth was like the nozzle of an air gun, and his words were like air. My eyes were like tires. As the air kept pouring in from the nozzle, the shape of the tire grew bigger and bigger.

  At this moment, our living room has become a venue for the China Economic Annual Conference, gathering many elites who are making waves.

  At last, Seong Nyeong finished introducing one illustrious name after another. If he introduced one more name, I was afraid that my eyes would turn dark and I would faint.

  Mei Er Group's female CEO, Ma Huamei, seemed somewhat displeased and said softly: "Mr. Zhang Haogu, I'm very sorry, we scared you."

  I finally came back to my senses. In my heart, I secretly scolded myself, where did the majestic demeanor of the Tang Dynasty's Son of Heaven go?

  So I immediately restored my eyes and mouth to their normal shape, curled up two smile lines from the corners of my mouth, and then conjured up two strands of vital energy from my dantian, shooting them out from my eyes as I boomed in a loud voice: "The financial tycoons have arrived one after another. Sorry for not welcoming you from afar. Hahaha, please take your seats."

  Everyone seemed to have no intention of sitting down. Only to hear Cheng Nai Rong say: "Mr. Zhang, we all discussed and booked a banquet at the New Century Hotel, waiting for Mr. Zhang and Uncle and Aunt to discuss important matters together, can we go now?"

  To make up for the loss of image caused by my earlier awkwardness, I immediately smiled loudly and said: "Okay, wait for me to tidy up, change clothes, and then go with everyone."

  "Dad and mom also said: 'Everyone wait a minute, we two will go change our clothes too.'"

  Everyone said: "Nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong."

  Before long, my dad and I were dressed in suits and ties, with our hair combed neatly. My mom put on the evening dress she had bought a few days ago. Although our clothes still looked somewhat shabby compared to those of other company leaders, they were passable.

  Preparations were complete, and everyone went downstairs together. As soon as they saw the row of cars parked downstairs, Cheng Nai Rong led my dad, mom, and me into the first car with a smile all over his face: "Mr. Zhang, please let your family sit in my car, I'll ride with President Lang in the back."

  My mother's eyes were wide with wonder, and my father's critical gaze now showed admiration. I hastily thanked him: "Thanks to President Cheng."

  "Never mind," said Cheng Nai Rong as he walked away. I reminded them, "Dad and Mom, let's get on the bus quickly."

  Dad and mom said "oh" and opened the rear door, getting in one after another. I also opened the front door and got in.

  The driver saw from the rearview mirror that the big shots had almost finished getting in, and with a press of the accelerator, "whoosh" went the mighty fleet of cars as they sped off towards the New Century Hotel. Along the way, passersby's eyes were all wide with wonder, just like the old lady's earlier.

  I gazed out of the car window at the road ahead, with new scenery constantly flashing before my eyes. I focused my gaze on those scenes, but didn't put my mind to them, instead letting my thoughts wander aimlessly in a jumbled mess.

  It wasn't long before the "new century" arrived, and the driver got out of the car. He first opened the doors for my dad and mom, waiting for them to get out. Just as he was about to come help me open the door, I had already gotten out myself.

  At this time, Cheng Nai Rong and others also got off one after another, walking towards us with steady yet extremely compact steps.

  We three of us watched them until they were right in front of us. Cheng Nai Rong had already made a "please" gesture: "Mr. Zhang, Uncle and Auntie, please come in."

  We yielded once and for all, but in the end we still went ahead from the front.

  I remember every time I walked into "New Century", there was always a feeling of oppression, even though the guard looked at me with equal eyes despite my neat but not very bright clothes, I still felt uncomfortable. But today, I feel like I should have walked in with my head held high from birth. And the guard saw that our family's clothes were still not bright, but added a respectful expression. I know their gaze is because of those people behind us. But I'm already very satisfied.

  I think at this moment, for me and my parents, it's an important moment, a turning point in our family's identity. Perhaps from now on, no matter where we go, the security guard's gaze will be as solemn and respectful as it is now.

  I stopped in front of the private room door and asked the bosses to go in first. However, the bosses still asked me to go in first. In the end, I went in first and stood by the door, letting each boss in one by one.

  The bosses sat down on both sides, then asked me and my parents to take the main seat at the top. After another round of modest refusal, I still sat down according to their arrangement.

  The hotel's waiters began to move in a way that combined speed and quality.

  The drinks and tea arrived quickly. The bosses picked up their cups or glasses to drink, and I followed suit. My parents seemed to have experienced many grand scenes before, although not as big as this one now, they were initially a bit surprised, but at this moment they seemed to have fully adapted, smiling and greeting the bosses, also taking a few sips.

  Then, Cheng Naiyong said: "Alright, Mr. Zhang, we are all straightforward people, so let's get down to business now. After our people returned today, they all praised your demeanor. So several bosses rushed over on a special plane and we're holding this negotiation meeting right here."

  "That's right." Ma Hua Mei said, "From the new changes this morning, it seems that Mr. Zhang's development in the game has been frustrated on the surface, but we all know that Mr. Zhang has gained greater benefits in the system's compensation. Just now, the people below have reported to us that Mr. Zhang has already built twenty cities of system compensation in Youzhou, Jizhou and Bingzhou. Although Mr. Zhuge's city has not been built yet, we believe it is only a matter of time. So we unanimously decided to speed up our cooperation with Mr. Zhang and finalize the matter as soon as possible."

  When I heard Ma Hua Mei say that, I suddenly felt a stir in my heart and said "excuse me", went outside to call Yue Chuan and urged him to hurry over to the New Century.

  I returned to the private room and apologized again, saying to the bosses: "Just now I made a phone call to a business friend. In fact, you all know that with my current situation, I couldn't afford to buy a helmet and nutrient warehouse. This time I was able to enter the game thanks to this friend. So I hope he can join in."

  Everyone present said: "Mr. Zhang has such friends, it's a blessing. We admire your friends very much."

  "Mr. Zhang, we have reevaluated your development prospects. We now believe that the assets you possess in the game can be valued at 200 million RMB. As for Mr. Zhuge's assets, they can be valued at 100 million RMB. Based on this new valuation, we have decided to increase our investment. The shares held by Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhuge remain the same as before. Moreover, the current valuation of Mr. Zhang's assets is still conservative. With future development, Mr. Zhang should have potential exceeding 100 million RMB. Therefore, I propose that regardless of whether the friend who funded Mr. Zhang's entry into the game invests or not, we first allocate 5% of the shares to this friend."

  Many elderly people have expressed their opinions, and it is indeed so.

  "Is there anything else Mr. Zhang needs to add?" Cheng Nai Rong asked.

  "Nothing for now, let's take a look at the contract first."

  I actually saw the contract in the game, but now I need to see a real document.

  "Good." Cheng Nai Rong took the contract from his secretary and handed it over to me.

  I took a look at the contract and found that, apart from increasing my and Zhuge Dan's property, it was no different from the original one I had seen. I was very satisfied with the terms of the contract. Since Dad and Mom were here, I still handed it over to them for review. Dad and Mom didn't have any objections either.

  I returned the contract to Cheng Nai Rong: "Everyone, I am very satisfied with the terms."

  "Good, bring wine." Cheng Nai Rong turned back and said to the hotel service staff.

  After a while, Yuechuan also arrived. He had learned about the current situation from the forum earlier and knew that there was a lot of money to be made when he heard me making the phone call. He immediately put down the business deal he was working on and rushed over. After all, as a small boss like him, it's rare to see such a gathering of big shots. This time, he came not only to do business but also to take the opportunity to get acquainted with the big bosses present.

  After reading the contract, Yuexi didn't say a word and invested another 50 million yuan.

  "Mr. Zhang, later we'll also ask you to shoot an advertisement. Now that you're the chairman, I believe you'll be happy to do an ad for your own company. Of course, there's a fee for Mr. Zhang personally as well. This fee was discussed by us directors and is priced at 10 million. Let this fund be used to change... ah, no, now it should be called the chairman, let it be used to change the chairman's life."
