Becoming a Billionaire after Divorce-Chapter 615 - 216: President Sun Is a Man You Can’t Have
"Hi, David, over here." Chen Xiaoru’s eyes lit up when she saw the person entering through the door, and she proactively greeted him.
She explained to Liu Qing beside her: "This is David, my classmate from Harvard. After graduation, he went to intern at Morgan upon our professor’s recommendation, and later he seemed to join a large international oil and grain company as a financial officer. He’s an exceptionally talented person. I thought I’d never see him again, but here we are."
Liu Qing nodded thoughtfully.
Although she was also a returnee who had studied abroad.
But unlike the purebred returnee beside her, who had been sent abroad to study from an early age, she had only gone abroad for further study after completing her undergraduate degree in China, so she wasn’t as inclined to worship foreign things.
However, she could understand the other person.
Because David indeed looked handsome and tall, a typical Western hunk.
Upon hearing Chen Xiaoru’s greeting, he clearly recognized this former classmate, walked over warmly, and prepared to shake hands as a local gesture.
Who knew that the other party would embrace him immediately and even offer a friendly ’cheek kiss,’ catching him somewhat off guard.
"Wow, beautiful Miss Chen, didn’t expect we’d meet again."
"Yes, you went to Morgan right after graduating from undergrad, and I continued with my master’s and PhD. It must have been seven or eight years since we’ve seen each other, and you’re still as handsome as ever."
Chen Xiaoru’s compliments flowed out as if they were free, a stark contrast to her previous demeanor.
"Thanks, you’re as beautiful as ever too." David, being an old hand in the business world, coupled with his innate talent for charming girls, turned Chen Xiaoru head over heels.
"Really?" Chen Xiaoru touched her cheek, "Age is a woman’s enemy, I thought I had lost my charm from before."
"Oh, who said that? That’s a crime. Miss Chen, in my eyes, you’re still so beautiful." David’s words dripped with sweetness like honey.
Even Liu Qing on the side found it hard to handle.
"David, I didn’t know you and Xiaoru were college classmates. I wouldn’t have guessed if you hadn’t mentioned it." Liu Qing chimed in as well.
David was already an old acquaintance of their club.
She remembered it was she who had personally brought him in.
He’s not only a senior executive at an international oil and grain company but also the head of an investment bank under the Morgan consortium in Asia.
But when the conversation turned to work, David couldn’t help frowning: "Hey, don’t mention it. The shareholders of the oil and grain company where I worked have completely changed, and Morgan has sold all its shares there, so my position naturally disappeared, leaving me with only the investment banking job."
"Oh, is that so? It seems there wasn’t much fuss about it in the outside world?" Liu Qing was a bit surprised.
But it was understandable.
After all, different industries are like separate mountains.
Some industry news, if deliberately covered up by insiders, is impossible for outsiders to know.
"Well, but the company that received the shares is also an American company, and they’re generous with their actions, plus they’re low-key, so not much information has been disclosed."
Seeing their interest, David added more.
"Oh, I wonder which company acquired it. It wouldn’t be a small sum, right?" As an investment banker, Liu Qing naturally had a keen sensitivity to this kind of news.
She seemed curious to know which hidden giant had orchestrated this.
After all, the Singapore grain and oil company where David worked ranks internationally, just behind the well-known Four Major Grain Merchants and Sinograin.
Such acquisitions typically involve colossal sums, hundreds of billions being trivial, often reaching trillions.
A company with that much cash for acquisition couldn’t be obscure.
"Oh, this company is apparently quite famous in your country recently, with its Asian headquarters located in your Shanghai City. What’s it called... Keno Capital, yes, that’s the name."
Chen Xiaoru didn’t react much to this name, as she had just returned to the country and didn’t know about it at all.
However, Liu Qing beside her seemed to hear thunder rolling in her ears and couldn’t help but look at a certain figure: Isn’t the chairman of Keno Capital (Asia) him?
Unexpectedly, he was backed by such a huge capital?
No wonder he had such confidence. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
It seemed he wasn’t intimidated by her side indeed.
Liu Qing couldn’t help feeling relieved, glad that she had always been courteous with him and had not caused any awkward situations.
The only awkwardness seemed... her eyes involuntarily turned to her ’good friend’ beside her, feeling bad that her good intentions had inadvertently offended him in this regard.
What should she do?
Just then, the person in question was walking towards her.
She immediately put on a very genuine smile.
"I have some personal matters to attend to, so I’ll have to leave early."
Who knew he came over to bid farewell, and her smile almost faltered for a moment. With effort, she replied, "President Sun, sorry for the inadequate hospitality today, please don’t take it amiss. Next time you visit, I will definitely make it up to you."
Sun Dasheng looked at her a bit strangely: Make up? What do you need to make up to me for?
However, seeing that there were many people around her, he didn’t ask, just nodded slightly and then left.
Throughout the whole process, he didn’t glance at that so-called ’socialite’ even once.
This made Chen Xiaoru quite annoyed, sneering, "Pretentious, just putting on a show, hmph!"
"Xiaoru, don’t talk about President Sun like that." Unexpectedly, she encountered harsh criticism from her good friend Liu Qing.
Chen Xiaoru felt a bit clueless, "Did I say something wrong?"
