Chapter 405 Loneliness is a reason to find a woman.
"Xiao Wang, those rumors about financial fraud online have been investigated and found to be completely unfounded. You and President Meng should hurry back; the listing ceremony must proceed as scheduled."
As soon as the call connected, Lao Wu immediately greeted the caller with a broad smile.
His kind and amiable tone and expression were completely different from his previous arrogance.
Wang Zheng stood there, stunned, holding his phone.
He was sitting in Meng Chuan's car when he saw Lao Wu calling, and he immediately pressed the speakerphone button.
Meng Chuan could hear Lao Wu's change in attitude and what he said.
At this moment, Wang Zheng subconsciously looked at Meng Chuan, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.
Meng Chuan beckoned to him with his finger, indicating that he should give him the phone.
Wang Zheng understood immediately and handed over the phone.
Meng Chuan leaned back lazily on the sofa and spoke casually:
"Old Wu, the wind has changed pretty quickly, hasn't it? But after thinking about it, I think Pinduoduo might really have some financial problems. Let's forget about going public; we've already decided against it. I'll have Pinduoduo issue an announcement later, withdrawing the decision to go public."
Old Wu's temples throbbed when he heard Meng Chuan's words.
If Meng Chuan really issues an announcement, then everything will be beyond repair.
After all, a company's announcements are rarely changed overnight.
Old Wu immediately began to plead with a mournful tone:
"President Meng, we've been preparing for this IPO for so long, we can't let it all end in a moment of impulsiveness..."
"Spiritual spirit?"
Meng Chuan interrupted with a cold laugh:
"Why didn't you say it was out of spite when you called for the IPO to be halted? What? Has Director Wu gotten so powerful that he wants to force Pinduoduo to go public?"
"No, no, no! Mr. Meng, I absolutely did not mean that! I... I was wrong."
Old Wu could no longer maintain his dignity and simply begged for mercy:
"I was blinded by greed! Please come back first, the listing date is approaching, we can't afford to delay! Mr. Meng, please have pity on me and give me a chance to redeem myself!"
Wang Zheng listened in stunned silence.
Thinking back to how arrogant and domineering Old Wu was before, I felt extremely satisfied at this moment.
Meng Chuan also glanced at Wang Zheng and fell silent.
Given Meng Chuan's temperament, he really didn't want to compromise on this matter.
However, from the moment Meng Chuan won the lottery, he was determined to play an active role in this stock market crash.
The plan is now halfway complete.
Meng Chuan still felt somewhat remorseful for disregarding the plight of countless shareholders in his momentary impulse.
Just as Meng Chuan hesitated, Wang Zheng hurriedly grabbed the phone:
"Director Wu, saying you're trying to atone for your mistakes is too much of a stretch. We understand your difficulties; there are indeed some negative comments about us online. We..."
Wang Zheng is quite perceptive.
He could tell that Meng Chuan didn't really not want to go public.
Otherwise, Meng Chuan wouldn't have made such a serious trip to Beijing to demand that he complete the listing as soon as possible.
Now that Lao Wu has offered a way out, going with the flow is the best outcome.
"Those are all rumors."
Old Wu hurriedly spoke first:
"I will personally stand up for Pinduoduo's IPO, clarify the facts, refute rumors, and ensure that there will be no further mishaps!"
Hearing Wang Zheng's tone soften, Lao Wu felt as if he were hearing heavenly music.
At this moment, let alone supporting Pinduoduo, he would definitely agree to even the most outrageous requests.
"Alright, we're relieved to hear Director Wu's words. We'll head back now, please wait a moment!"
Wang Zheng immediately laughed.
Wang Zheng is definitely a qualified businessman.
Meng Chuan is the boss; he can get angry.
But Wang Zheng must know how to do it, to offer a helping hand when the boss needs it.
Also, don't underestimate Lao Wu just because he's only a minor director.
But there aren't many listed companies that would get him to personally endorse them.
With official endorsement, Pinduoduo's stock price will definitely be a strong boost after its IPO.
Moreover, after the company goes public, there will be many things that will require Lao Wu's help.
Even if he doesn't make things difficult for Pinduoduo, the fact that everything must be done strictly according to rules and regulations, and in a businesslike manner, is enough to make Pinduoduo feel uncomfortable.
As the saying goes, it's easier to deal with the King of Hell than with his underlings.
It's better to be on good terms than to become enemies.
"President Meng, you see, I've overstepped my bounds this time. I promise I will never do it again..."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Zheng looked at Meng Chuan apologetically.
"Alright, stop acting. I'm not that stupid; I can still tell right from wrong."
Meng Chuan rolled his eyes at Wang Zheng.
In fact, Meng Chuan also wanted to take the opportunity to back down, but he was just too proud to admit it!
Some things are better left unsaid.
A local official is more powerful than a distant one, and Meng Chuan didn't necessarily want to offend Lao Wu to the point of no return.
Pinduoduo should go public, or it should.
Otherwise, many of Meng Chuan's subsequent plans and arrangements would not be able to be implemented.
"Then let's..."
Wang Zheng said with a smile.
"You go back by yourself, I'm not going back."
Meng Chuan signaled Ying Die to stop the car.
"Mr. Meng, we made a promise..."
Wang Zheng was immediately devastated.
"Old Wu and I have already talked to each other to this extent. If I go back, it will only make things awkward for both of us. There will be no benefit for me."
Meng Chuan explained:
"If your relationship with Lao Wu hasn't been affected in any way, Lao Wu will be even happier if you go back on your own."
Judging from his own experience, Meng Chuan still harbored some resentment towards Lao Wu.
Even though Lao Wu was reluctant to bow and scrape to Meng Chuan out of respect for Huang Lao,
But deep down, he must feel uncomfortable.
Rather than making everyone feel upset, it's better for him to be absent, so that everyone can have a good time.
"Okay! I'll just take a taxi home myself!"
Wang Zheng got out of the car with a sigh.
Just as Meng Chuan was about to close the car door, Wang Zheng grabbed the door handle:
"But Mr. Meng, I have no relatives or friends in Shanghai and I'm all alone. You absolutely have to have dinner with me tonight."
"I'm busy. If you're lonely, go find a woman yourself. It's not like you're short of money."
Meng Chuan left those words and slammed the car door shut.
Yingdie stepped on the gas and sped away.
……
Meng Chuan obediently returned to the abandoned factory area to receive training from Prince Fu.
However, Meng Chuan was still somewhat angry today.
Upon seeing Prince Fu, Meng Chuan said somewhat provocatively:
"Old Fu, can we do something real today? I'm getting tired of this horse stance and finger strength training every day, even if you're not."
Meng Chuan changed his way of addressing the Prince of Fu repeatedly.
As the two spent more time together, Meng Chuan became less polite to Prince Fu.
"Of course! If the young master commands, how dare this old servant disobey?"
As he spoke, Prince Fu took out a large bag of glass marbles.
"Let's do something different today. I'll hit, you dodge!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Prince Fu waved his hand.
A marble shot straight at Meng Chuan's abdomen like a bullet.
"Damn it, Lao Fu, you're stealing... Ah!"
Before Meng Chuan could finish speaking, he was struck in the abdomen by the marble.
A powerful force, accompanied by excruciating pain, sent Meng Chuan flying backward.
Yingdie closed her eyes with some reluctance.
Meanwhile, Prince Fu continued to bombard Meng Chuan with marbles, seemingly without regard to cost.
Meng Chuan couldn't escape even a single beating, let alone a beating.
Just as Meng Chuan was being beaten half to death.
Yingdie suddenly held up Meng Chuan's phone:
"Young Master, the phone is ringing. It's Liu Dong calling!"
