At 7:00 p.m. on September 21st, New Era Media’s b-round financing reception was held on time in the small ballroom of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Compared with the grand occasion of the first round of financing, the number of guests invited to this reception was different. Chinese, but the quality is very high, and all of them are heavyweight guests.

After all, the first round focuses more on financial strength, while the second round focuses on whether the introduction of shareholders can bring practical help to the company in terms of technology and expansion. Money alone is not so easy to enter the market.

In the lounge next to the banquet hall, Yang Cheng, as the host, was supposed to welcome the guests outside the door, but he had too much fun last night, and he hasn’t recovered yet. If you don’t take the time to rest, the reception will start soon Embarrassed.

As for Xu Xian, who was sleeping on his shoulder, even with exquisite makeup, he couldn't conceal the thick dark circles under those big eyes.

Yang Cheng last night was like a scalper on steroids, plowing the land with all his might, as if the world would end the next day if he didn’t plow all the land. Tianming, the famous saying, there is no plowed land, only exhausted cattle, was disproved by Yang Cheng.

Look at Xu Xian who hasn't regained her energy after sleeping for a whole day. She looks like an eggplant beaten by Shuang. She doesn't know how many times she passed out last night. It's the first time in her life that she feels as happy as washing the essence and cutting the marrow. .

But that matter, one time is cool, two times is comfortable, three times is perfect, and a few more times it will be pure animal mating ~ mating, there is no happiness at all, no bleeding is because she practiced dancing all the year round With a strong physique, Xu Xian regretted it more than once in his heart. Before he knew it, he would not have stopped Yang Cheng. The anger accumulated for a long time is easy to erupt, and so is the energy!

In fact, Yang Cheng is also having a hard time. Walking is like stepping on cotton. Her feet feel weak and she can't feel her foothold. After walking a few more steps, her calves start to tremble. Don't be shy in front of women.

"Get up? The reception is about to begin." Yang Cheng rushed in to tell his staff to nod, then touched Xu Xian's hot face and said softly.

"Bad guy, it's not all your fault, are you happy now?" Xu Xian sat up supporting Yang Cheng's thigh, looked at Yang Cheng with slightly angry eyes and said angrily.

The corner of Yang Cheng's mouth twitched into a smirk, and he passed through his armpit and pinched the plump face through the fabric, "You're also very happy, right? I don't know who called it so attractive, otherwise I wouldn't be able to mention it." Are you interested? I didn't expect you to have a wild heart under your pure appearance..."

"Ah~ stop talking, scoundrel!" Xu Xian slapped Yang Cheng's arm, stood up angrily,

Don't turn your head and bite your lip full of embarrassment.

Yang Cheng would not easily let go of the opportunity to watch a joke. A woman is the most beautiful when she is shy, and she will never get tired of seeing it. "What are you afraid of? There are no outsiders here. Tell me, among the many poses you unlocked last night, which one is your favorite?" Which one? Which one resonates with you the most?"

"Go away! I don't know!". . .

The sound of the two joking gradually faded away, and the lounge fell into silence again, only the tireless ticking of the quartz clock. . .

Xu Xian walked into the banquet hall with Yang Cheng on his arm. Of course, they were not as dazzling as the protagonists in the TV series, probably because everyone was busy greeting each other and didn't notice the newcomers.

On the contrary, the employees of the administrative department of the four-dimensional space were the first to find out that their boss had entered the venue, and hurried up to greet them. After saying hello, they began to introduce the process of the reception to Yang Cheng. There was nothing special about it. At the end, the speech script and so on are all ready, but Yang Cheng probably won't need it either.

While walking to the temporary stage and listening to the staff's introduction, his trembling calves kept reminding him to end the reception as soon as possible and go home to sleep.

Xu Xian beside him was even more unbearable, if he hadn't held Yang Cheng tightly, he wouldn't be able to walk at all.

Tonight, in order not to embarrass Yang Cheng, she came out with the highest specification. She stepped on a pair of high-heeled shoes of nearly 15 centimeters. She wore a rouge powder tube top dress to show her proud bust, and her embroidered waist outlined her Her slender figure highlights her youthful and energetic side, but she is also elegant and decent. The high-grade silk material is smooth and close-fitting, making it comfortable to wear, especially a set of pink gemstone jewelry hung in the appropriate position, the whole person is like a flower fairy Advent in general.

Suddenly Yang Cheng's body stopped, and even Xu Xian didn't stop the brakes. Fortunately, tonight's banquet hall is covered with high-grade soft carpets.

He was able to stabilize his figure, and was about to ask Yang Cheng why, when he raised his head, he realized that there was someone standing in the middle of the road. They were a loving couple, the man was noble and elegant, and the woman was gentle and dignified. And the careful Xu Xian saw the shadow of Yang Cheng from the eyebrows of the couple, that is to say. . .

Sure enough, Yang Cheng's embarrassing opening confirmed Xu Xian's conjecture, "Mom and Dad, why are you here?"

Liu Yun didn't look at Yang Cheng at all. Yang Sen snorted and replied with his hands behind his back, "Why can't we come? Yuanshan is not qualified to participate in the financing of New Era Media?"

Yang Cheng touched her nose embarrassingly, "How could it be, how could it be~"

"Girl, what's your name?" Liu Yun looked at Xu Xian for a long time, and now she finally changed her expression of satisfaction, and asked kindly.

It's a pity that Liu Yun asked questions in Chinese habitually, but Xu Xian didn't understand, so he could only maintain a polite smile.

Seeing this, Yang Cheng didn't know what his mother was thinking, so he hurriedly made a rescue, "Mom, her name is Xu Xian, she's Korean, and she's just my ordinary friend."

As a result, Liu Yun glared at Yang Cheng, and asked in English, "Your name is Xu Xian, right? You're so pretty~, how old are you this year? Are you Korean-American? How many people are there in your family? What do you do?"

A series of questions fell on Xu Xian's head like a hailstorm. She was already in the post-disaster pain period, her head was half a beat slower than usual, and she almost didn't react. Fortunately, her years of stage career have cultivated a good heart Quality and perfect etiquette upbringing, pinned a strand of hair behind the ear, smiled reservedly, "Auntie can call me Xiaoxian, I was born in 1991, not American, only parents in the family, and now I am a singer and actor."

All the answers corresponded one-to-one with Liu Yun's questions, which was very logical, which really satisfied Liu Yun's heart.

Yang Cheng looked at his watch, and interrupted, "Mom and Dad, it's already 7 o'clock, and it's time for me to give a speech. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it another day?"

"Go and do your work, don't you feel relieved to leave Xiaoxian to me to take care of you? Let's go~" Liu Yun would not be so gentle and polite to her son, waving her hands like chasing flies away.

Yang Cheng had no choice but to leave Xu Xian with a self-seeking look, and walked away from the place of right and wrong.

. . .

On the stage, Yang Cheng stood in front of the microphone with a glass of champagne, scanned the audience, touched the microphone lightly, and made a buzzing sound. After he attracted the attention of the audience, he calmly said, "Ladies , Gentlemen, welcome to New Era Media’s B-round financing reception. Everyone here is a friend, so I won’t waste my time introducing myself. If you don’t know me, please leave the venue to avoid embarrassment.”

A slightly arrogant opening remark ignited the atmosphere of the scene, and the guests laughed in unison.

The golden crystal chandelier exudes bright light, and the colorful light is refracted on the glass wine glass. Yang Cheng stands in the center of the stage, as if surrounded by stars, showing her sharpness.

The hand was pressed in the void, the aura spread, and the banquet hall became quiet again. Everyone was looking forward to the wonderful performance of this young Chinese.

"Actually, I didn't expect the B round of financing to come so quickly. Even before the reception, when I communicated with several investors who participated in the first round of investment, they all expressed surprise. I said, hey, jason, are you crazy? The $3 billion was spent in less than a month? Did you burn it?"

Yang Cheng paused, and after everyone chuckled, he continued, "I did burn it, the Toutiao app is like a Bugatti supercar, you need to pour dollars into it continuously to make it have plenty of energy. Energy sprints forward. Once there is no energy support, it is a pile of scrap iron, worthless.

From a few users in the first round of financing more than a month ago, the overall user scale has exceeded 10 million today, and it is making great strides towards the 50 million mark. Ladies and gentlemen, this miracle was created by us. Could it be that we Shouldn't you be proud of yourself and give yourself the warmest applause? "

Yang Cheng's high-spirited speech set off the first GC tonight, and the thunderous applause conveyed investors' confidence in Toutiao app.

Yang Cheng's performance was not over yet, so he continued, "I won't talk about the goal of the b-round financing on stage, after all, I have to take care of some people's emotions, but friends who should know must know something about it. I just want to say that New Era Media needs more people with lofty ideals to join, and this big family needs your help.

Not much nonsense, the reception has officially started. I have prepared millions of dollars of aged wine for you to taste tonight. If you have any questions about financing, you are welcome to come and talk to me. I will answer them one by one tonight. Hope we don't get drunk, chee. "

"Chee!" Following Yang Cheng's toast, everyone raised their glasses and shouted in unison.

Yang Cheng stepped down, and the scene became lively again. Before he could take two steps, he was stopped by his father, "You did a good job. I came here this time with a mission from the board of directors. How many shares you leave me is up to you."

After finishing speaking, she didn't give Yang Cheng a plan to refuse, and turned her head to leave. Yang Cheng wanted to cry without tears, md, can you still play like this? Is this unknown?

Shaking his head, he collected his emotions, and started to wander around the arena with unsteady steps. There was no way, all the people who came tonight were big shots, and he could not tolerate the negligence of his juniors. He took time to glance in the direction of his mother, and saw her He was still chatting with Xu Xian enthusiastically, so he temporarily relaxed and began to concentrate on dealing with the various questions raised by the investors.

"Jason, I finally found you. Your speech was wonderful. It must have been another successful night. Congratulations!" Bill Ackerman and his wife found Yang Cheng, who was sweating profusely, and said.

Yang Cheng rolled his eyes, "Bill, do we still need to be so polite in our relationship? Besides, if I succeed, you will also make money. What's there to congratulate?"

"Hehe, I understand. I just want to remind you that Pershing Square is leading the vote tonight."
