Soon, several people arrived at the entrance of the gala.
At this moment, the staff at the entrance saw Jiang Cheng approaching with Chen Xueer and couldn't help but stare blankly.
An incomparably handsome, noble young gentleman and a glamorous, cold-faced, sexy woman.
Although some big Internet Celebrities had been invited to tonight's gala, most of them lost a lot of points once they left TikTok's filters; some even reached the level of fraud.
After freezing for two seconds, the person at the door spoke politely: "Hello, do you two have an invitation?"
Chen Xueer replied: "We don't have an invitation, but this is Chairman Jiang of our Xingchen Investment Company. Your chairman invited us here."
Upon hearing the name of the boss of Xingchen Investment Company, the staff member's eyes widened, his face filled with unconcealed surprise.
He didn't expect that the young and handsome noble gentleman before him was actually the owner of Xingchen Investment.
Originally, he had thought Jiang Cheng was a celebrity or an Internet Celebrity attending the ByteDance gala.
He never expected it would be the person his own boss had repeatedly instructed him about.
Looking closely now, the cut of the suit Jiang Cheng wore was perfectly tailored and fitted, and the materials were exceptionally luxurious; it was clearly a custom-made style.
The leather of the shoes on his feet was also surprisingly good, clearly not the quality of shoes bought at a discount because some Jiangnan Leather Factory went bankrupt.
The staff member immediately bowed respectfully to Jiang Cheng and said: "Hello, hello! Please come in. When the gala began, our chairman specifically instructed us to wait here for your arrival. Please follow me, both of you."
After saying that, the staff member shot a glance at another dazed staff member nearby.
Once that person reacted, he immediately and respectfully led Jiang Cheng into the inner hall of the gala with enthusiasm.
As Jiang Cheng walked, he secretly observed the layout of the gala venue.
He saw that most of the people present were Middle-aged Men wearing suits and ties, each putting on the air of a successful person.
However, there were also some big Internet Celebrities with familiar faces among them.
These Internet Celebrities were either standing to the side with drinks, smiling apologetically, or gathered in small groups talking in low voices.
Seeing Jiang Cheng enter the venue welcomed by two staff members, the guests at the gala couldn't help but look over curiously.
With this look, everyone immediately noticed the difference between Jiang Cheng and themselves.
Not only was Jiang Cheng accompanied by a cold and glamorous beauty with very proper manners, but the key was that his own temperament was very special.
Every movement exuded the noble aura of a refined young master, completely opposite to the temperament of these common Internet Celebrities.
"Who is that? A celebrity? I haven't seen him before..."
"I don't know. I heard no outsiders were invited today; it seems everyone here is in the same industry."
"He's so handsome. If he were in our industry, there's no way we wouldn't know him."
"Don't you guys know who he is? He's the newly crowned national husband! Haven't you seen the Social Media Platform hot searches? He's a man on par with Principal Wang, and I heard he's even more impressive than Principal Wang."
"Oh right, now that you mention it, I remember... Holy crap, why would he come to a ByteDance gala? Does he use TikTok too??"
"With his net worth, if he plays on TikTok, he'd be the top supporter type, right? Does he really need to use TikTok to compete with us for a living?"
Beside him, Chen Xueer naturally and gracefully observed the layout of the club.
Then she said admiringly to Jiang Cheng: "The layout of this Oriental Riverside Hotel is quite nice, especially the scenery outside the window. I think our company's annual meeting gala could be arranged here too."
The Oriental Riverside Hotel is located along The Bund.
It is only four hundred meters away from the Oriental Pearl Tower.
With the riverside night view, the scenery outside the window was naturally exceptionally brilliant.
Moreover, the design of this conference hall was very grand.
The entire venue of over a thousand square meters was covered with very soft, high-quality carpets, so there was almost no sound even when walking in high heels.
And on the ceiling several meters high, dozens of umbrella-shaped crystal chandeliers were installed.
The entire venue was bright and spacious, making one feel very pleasant while being inside.
Jiang Cheng nodded and said casually: "You are the manager of the company; you don't need to ask me about such things. You have the final say on company matters."
Hearing this, Chen Xueer said coquettishly: "Chairman Jiang, don't flatter me. You naturally have the final say on company matters. I feel it's better to ask for your instructions on some company affairs in the future, otherwise I'll always feel uneasy."
Seeing that Chen Xueer wanted to trick him into working at the company again.
Jiang Cheng immediately turned his face and looked at her seriously, saying solemnly: "Manager Chen, the fact that I can hand over the company entirely to you shows that I trust you immensely. Furthermore, the company has developed very rapidly and steadily since its establishment, all thanks to your efforts. No one is more suitable to manage Xingchen Investment than you; even I cannot interfere at will, do you understand?"
If these words were said to someone else, they might have been completely satisfied by Jiang Cheng's empty promises.
And they would certainly be moved to tears immediately, patting their chest and promising Jiang Cheng they would work themselves to the bone for the company.
However, Chen Xueer had long seen through Jiang Cheng's little scheme.
Doesn't he just want to trap her in the company so he can go out and live a life of debauchery?
Chen Xueer pouted and hummed softly: "I almost took that seriously. Chairman Jiang, I'm not as capable as you think."
"Manager Chen, don't underestimate yourself. I truly feel that you are very... capable."
After Chen Xueer realized the double meaning, her cold and exquisite face suddenly turned pink.
If it weren't for the setting, she would have definitely given Jiang Cheng two big eye-rolls.
Just as Jiang Cheng and Chen Xueer were bickering in low voices, a Middle-aged Man of medium height walked toward Jiang Cheng with a warm smile on his face.
Looking at the person, Jiang Cheng recognized him at a glance; he was the founder of ByteDance Company, Zhang Yiming.
And behind him followed several senior executives of the company.
As soon as Zhang Yiming saw Jiang Cheng, he immediately walked over quickly and extended his hand to Jiang Cheng: "You must be Chairman Jiang. I've finally met you. I am Zhang Yiming, a pleasure to meet you."
Facing Zhang Yiming's warm welcome, Jiang Cheng's performance was very calm.
After extending his right hand, he smiled politely: "President Zhang, it's a pleasure to meet you. I've been quite busy lately and didn't have time to accept your invitation, please forgive me."
Zhang Yiming naturally knew that the 'busy' Jiang Cheng spoke of was going abroad with Wang Congcong to have fun, and even hoarding a large amount of overseas property.
However, for a young man with a net worth of tens of billions, Zhang Yiming naturally had no objections; one could even say he didn't dare to have any.
After all, when he was 18, he was still in college assembling computers and selling parts, while Jiang Cheng at 18 had already become a shareholder of ByteDance Company.
Zhang Yiming waved his hand with a smile: "President Jiang is occupied with a myriad of affairs; it's understandable."
