### Chapter 588: Well, Well, the Joke's on Me?
Although the vice president of SF Express and the president of DiDi are wealthy, Wang Xinhao is a smart man. He immediately realized that among all these big shots, Ye Xiu was the ultimate big shot in the center.
So, if he was going to suck up to anyone, it had to be Ye Xiu! The others...well, he could talk to them a bit.
After all, with billions in net worth, he was confident he could reach that height in the future. To him, these big shots were at most equal competitors, so there was no need to suck up to them. Treating them as equals was enough.
The key was Ye Xiu. Anyone who could make the CEOs of companies worth billions suck up to him was a true big shot!
Although things had been a bit unpleasant earlier...still!
No hard feelings, right?
Wang Xinhao, clear-headed and with a clear mind, walked up to Ye Xiu, holding a wine glass in his trembling hand. His aloof demeanor faded, and he put on a smiling face, saying cheerfully, "So you're the mysterious Mr. Ye Xiu. It's my fault, Wang Xinhao, for not recognizing you. I apologize and will drink this as a penalty."
Without further ado, Wang Xinhao downed the glass of wine and then poured another. He added, "But as the saying goes, 'No discord, no concord.' Meeting you here today must be fate."
The group of big shots rolled their eyes.
They had all heard of Wang Xinhao, who did well abroad and was arrogant, not putting domestic young talents in his eyes. Today, he actually knew to suck up to Ye Xiu?
Fate? Really?
Is he on a blind date?
Gross.
The big shots smiled outwardly but were disgusted inside.
Ye Xiu listened to Wang Xinhao, put down his wine glass, looked up, and smiled, pointing to the industry elites present. He said with a smile, "Is this your idea of success? (Pointing to the circle of big shots.)
Is this the capital for showing off? (Pointing to the business elites present.)"
After a pause, Ye Xiu calmly shook his head and said, "I don't want to discourage you, but I must tell you. Your so-called success is just my starting point."
Boom~
Inner crit hit 99+.
Ye Xiu: "As a person, you must not be too arrogant, understand?"
"Don't be too arrogant, understand?"...
Wang Xinhao's mind replayed this sentence wildly.
Because this was exactly what he had said to Ye Xiu earlier!
Now, it was returned to him verbatim.
At this moment.
Wang Xinhao felt as if a thousand-handed Guanyin was standing in front of him, slapping him in the face continuously~
The slaps were loud and clear~
Daring not to be angry, he had to pretend to smile indifferently.
Because he knew very well that if he had his friends in the US investigate Ye Xiu's information, Ye Xiu would know immediately.
This person definitely had significant power.
Wang Xinhao was proud and never acted like a suck-up!
But that was because he hadn't met a real big shot.
And in his mind, a real big shot was absolutely worth sucking up to!
Like Ye Xiu in front of him.
A big shot of this level, if you sucked up well, could make your future multiply several times!
After all, Wang Xinhao wasn't new to being a suck-up. He was quite experienced.
And at his level, his face was also very thick.
Ye Xiu's few words couldn't possibly break him down.
Immediately, Wang Xinhao smiled and said, "Yes, yes, Mr. Ye is right. It's Xinhao who was too arrogant. I apologize to Brother Ye."
Ye Xiu: "As a person, you must be down-to-earth."
Wang Xinhao: "Yes, yes, Brother Ye is right."
Ye Xiu: "You must accumulate virtue and do good deeds, and refrain from doing evil."
Wang Xinhao: "Definitely, I will follow Brother Ye's advice in the future."
Ye Xiu: "No matter how great your achievements abroad are, you must always think of our own country. Because, without the country, there is no home."
Wang Xinhao nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Brother Ye, I know my mistake. I will definitely work hard and always think of the country."
...
Next, Ye Xiu lectured for nearly ten minutes, and Wang Xinhao listened obediently and promised earnestly.
It had to be said, Wang Xinhao played the obedient role very vividly, and no one present could tell it was fake.
That expression, that emotion, were all spot on.
As if he had truly been moved by Ye Xiu's words~
The president of DiDi and the vice president of SF Express felt it was outrageous.
But to be honest, Wang Xinhao did perform well in this segment.
At least they couldn't see much pretense.
After all, Wang Xinhao was just instigated by Zhao Song to come over and deal with Ye Xiu. In other words, he was tricked into coming here.
If they had met under different circumstances, they might actually have a tiny chance of becoming friends.
There was no deep-seated hatred between him and Ye Xiu, and with a sincere attitude of admitting mistakes, Ye Xiu thought...maybe just let it go?
Thinking about it, Ye Xiu decided there was no need to dwell on it.
He patted Wang Xinhao's shoulder with a smile and said, "Alright, I don't have such a big ego, sit down."
Wang Xinhao was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with joy: "Thank you, Brother Ye!"
He then grabbed a chair and sat at Ye Xiu's table, his face beaming with happiness.
In the distance, Zhao Song and his group were dumbfounded.
What's going on?
The plot has completely deviated from the script~
Shouldn't Brother Hao be turning the tide and crushing Ye Xiu?
How did he end up...sucking up?
And sucking up for nearly ten minutes?
And he succeeded?
Is there anything more outrageous?
Brother Hao, you just became someone else's lackey, what about us?
Don't you want your lackeys anymore?
Zhao Song and his group of lackeys looked at each other in disbelief.
Although they also wanted to blend into the circle of big shots, reality told them it was impossible.
First, the gap between them was too large~
A gap of hundreds of billions~
Second, they had offended Ye Xiu, seeking forgiveness wouldn't be so simple.
After all, even Brother Hao had to obediently accept ten minutes of scolding to get by.
Looking at the group of big shots sitting opposite, Zhao Song swallowed hard.
He was extremely nervous.
Offending so many big shots, what should he do?
Zhao Song was panicking.
Just then, the stage's announcement came through: "The bride is here, let's welcome the bride with applause~"
A round of applause followed.
The bride's family, who had been disgruntled, suddenly became enthusiastic, almost wanting to form a brotherhood with the groom's family.
Regardless of the groom's family's background, having a big shot friend like Ye Xiu was enough!
The bride's family, who had been as proud as peacocks, now had the look of suck-ups.
Even if they couldn't suck up to Ye Xiu directly, they could suck up to Liu Qiang's parents and his aunts and uncles~
If they got on their good side, they could ask Liu Qiang for help, who could then ask Ye Xiu, wouldn't that be great?
It was like indirectly sucking up to Ye Xiu!
Perfect!
Seeing the groom's family so enthusiastic, Liu Qiang's parents were all smiles.
The wedding began bustlingly.
For a moment, it seemed everyone forgot what happened earlier, shouting.
"Kiss, kiss!"
The scene was lively and festive.
This is what a wedding should be like.
Liu Qiang felt immense gratitude.
Brother Ye, you're awesome~~~
...
After the wedding, Wang Xinhao got Ye Xiu's contact information and left happily.
Ye Xiu and the other big shots also drove away.
The in-laws waved goodbye.
Meanwhile, Zhao Song and two of his lackeys quietly and sheepishly drove their little BMW away~
Not until they were far from the Pangu Hotel did Zhao Song finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Because he was really scared that Ye Xiu would come after him.
For a big shot of that level, crushing him would be effortless~
But fortunately, it seemed he forgot, haha.
Zhao Song suddenly felt much more relaxed.
And with this relaxation, his pretentiousness came back.
Adding to the fact he had a bit to drink, his urge to show off was rising.
Sitting in the back seat, Zhao Song bragged to his lackeys: "Hmph, so what if he knows a lot of big shots?
What's there to be so arrogant about?
One day...hic, one day, I, Zhao Song, will also be worth billions, with countless big shots sucking up to me!"
Lackey 1: "Yes, yes, Brother Song is right."
The perfunctory tone was unmistakable.
Hearing this, Zhao Song got angry and said, "Hmph! Don't doubt me!
I'm telling you!
As long as I get Song Sisi, my net worth will start at 30 billion! How far is that from a hundred billion?"
The lackey was shocked
: "Is it Song Sisi, the daughter of the chairman of Xuansheng Real Estate?"
Zhao Song smiled proudly: "You guys probably don't know, I've been chasing Song Sisi for over a year now, and she's very hard to get!
But! Haha.
Who am I?
What kind of woman can't I get?
Song Sisi...hic, is already mine!"
The lackey was full of envy: "Brother Song, you're amazing, Brother Song, you already have three girlfriends, can you teach me a few tricks? I want a girlfriend too~~"
Zhao Song waved his hand: "Don't think about it, you can't learn this. If you all knew how to do it, how would I be your boss?"
The lackey thought: →_→, just say you don't want to teach.
The lackey said on the surface: "Yes, yes, Brother Song is right."
"Listen, I'll call Song Sisi now, she'll definitely answer immediately!"
Saying this, Zhao Song took out his phone and dialed the number.
"Hello, Sisi."
On the other side: "Hmm...Zhao Song...um...what's up?"
Zhao Song, cheeks red from alcohol, full of confusion: "Sisi, I just missed you. Is your signal bad? Why is your voice intermittent?"
"Um...no, I'm, I'm jogging."
Zhao Song: ?????
Lackey: (⊙０⊙), oh~~~
Zhao Song looked at the lackey's expression, his face turning very ugly, and the alcohol instantly sobering up halfway.
Listening carefully to the voice on the phone, he asked, "You're jogging, it's not even two in the afternoon, why are you jogging?"
On the other side: "Just kidding, I'm eating spicy sticks~so spicy~"
Eating spicy sticks...
Zhao Song's face turned completely dark~
"Don't talk to you anymore, I have to go, bye-bye."
Beep beep beep...
Before Zhao Song could question, the call had ended.
Turning his head, he saw his two lackeys with wide eyes and jaws dropped.
The expressions on their faces were so clear: Wow, Brother Song...got cheated on?
"What are you looking at! Did you fasten your seat belts? Be careful you don't crash and die!"
Zhao Song yelled angrily.
The two lackeys immediately laughed awkwardly, turning to look out the window.
Their expressions of surprise and amusement were undisguised.
Zhao Song, his face dark, looked down and quickly typed, ready to send a message to Song Sisi.
"What are you doing! I'm coming to find you right now!"
Song Sisi: "Don't come, we broke up! Mr. Player, goodbye forever!"
Zhao Song panicked: "Sisi, listen to my explanation~"
Ding!
Red exclamation mark warning~~
Zhao Song was first dumbfounded, then slumped in his seat, tears streaming down his face.
Damn it, is today really a good day?
Why did I fail to show off, and my rich girlfriend ran away?
Wahhh...Sisi, I really like you~~
Recalling his efforts to chase Song Sisi, now all for nothing~
Remembering his years of accumulated arrogance, all destroyed by Ye Xiu in one move~
Zhao Song's mindset completely collapsed.
He sighed deeply in his heart.
Unbelievable, truly unbelievable~
The joke's on me?
Zhao Song didn't care about his face anymore and started crying loudly.
The lackey beside him stayed quiet, not daring to comfort him.
Just looking out the window, thinking: Well, well, the joke's on me?
