The next morning.
He combed his hair short on both sides and slicked it back in the middle. Wearing a custom-made suit from a high-end tailor, Chen Jin left villa number 8 in his most dashing image.
A Bentley Versailles 65 opened the way in front while he sat in the Knight XV bulletproof SUV in the back with five bodyguards.
Under the admiring gaze of the woman at the entrance of the villa, he went straight to Wuzhen, which was more than a hundred kilometers away.
Inside the comfortable and luxurious car.
Chen Jin loosened the tie around his neck and took out his phone to send a message to Brother Lei. "I'm on my way. I'll be there in two hours at most."
"Boss, your noodles."
The bodyguard in sunglasses, who was sitting in front of Chen Jin, handed him a steaming cup of beef noodles.
Chen Jin took the bowl of instant noodles, picked up the spoon, and started eating noisily.
He had used up a lot of energy last night, and the villa did not hire a chef. Soon after he went out, his stomach growled. He had to stop the car and ask the bodyguard to go to the convenience store to buy a bowl of instant noodles, which he cooked in the hot water in the car.
Perhaps it had been a long time since he had eaten something like this, his appetite was pretty good. In a short while, the interior of the luxury car, which was worth tens of millions of dollars, was filled with the aroma of instant noodles.
Starting from 20X4, the World Internet Conference would be held in Country Z's Wuzhen. It would be held from November to December every year.
This year was the seventh time.
The conference was not only a grand event in Z country's internet field, but also a grand event in the world's internet field. It received a lot of attention from domestic and international media.
Under the warm invitation of the organizer and the repeated urging of Brother Lei, Chen Jin planned to attend this year's Internet Conference. He wanted to join in the fun and make his presence known.
In fact, the organizers of last year's Internet Conference had also sent him an invitation, but he was rather busy at that time and did not have the time, so he did not attend.
But this year, starting from September, the organizers called two months in advance to ask if he could arrange his schedule and if he could attend this year's Internet Conference. They even tactfully expressed that if Chen Jin was unable to arrange the time, the organizers could slightly adjust the date of the meeting so that both parties would have a chance to meet.
The organizers' sincerity was so great that it would not be appropriate to reject them again. Chen Jin immediately expressed that he would go and that the organizers did not need to make any additional adjustments.
"Good, that's great."
The other party was very happy.
…
The scenery outside the window flashed by.
Two hours later.
They had arrived at Wuzhen.
This small town was one of the first batch of historical and cultural towns in Z country. It was one of the top ten most charming towns in the country. It was also a national 5A scenic area. It had the reputation of "Z country's last water dwelling". It had a history of more than 7000 years of civilization and 1300 years of history. It was a typical ancient town in Jiangnan, known as "the land of fish and rice, the house of silk".
The town was not only a tourist town, but it also had 270,000 square meters of ancient buildings, more than 9,000 meters of river channels, and 72 ancient bridges. The density of river channels and the number of stone bridges were the highest in the ancient towns of Z country. There were also more than a dozen museums, such as the Jiangnan Hundred Beds Museum, the Jiangnan Folk Museum, the Jiangnan Woodcarving Exhibition Hall, the Yu Liuliang Coin Museum, the Muxin Art Museum, and so on … It could be seen that this ancient town had a rich cultural heritage.
After the town successfully hosted the first World Internet Conference in 20X4, it became the permanent location of the conference … It could be said that it was another technologically advanced town.
Traditional culture and futuristic technology made this ancient town exude a very unique charm.
In addition, the delicacies of Wuzhen were also quite famous. The "meals" of the internet bosses were also discussed enthusiastically by netizens.
To be honest, Chen Jin had long wanted to experience such an interesting place.
…
9: 50 AM
Inside the Internet International Convention and Exhibition Center surrounded by water villages.
The opening ceremony of the 7th Internet Conference was about to begin.
Lei Xiao Jun, the CEO of Da Mi Technologies, was waiting anxiously in the parking lot outside the venue.
From time to time, he looked at the time on his watch and craned his neck to look around.
"The opening ceremony is about to begin, why isn't he here yet?
Is there a traffic jam on the road? Or is there some other reason? Two hours is enough for him to rush here from Shang Hai.
Brother Chen, please don't stand me up. "
Just as he was mumbling to himself anxiously.
Two eye-catching luxury cars made a turn and drove into the parking lot under the guidance of the staff.
Especially the Knight XV at the back. It was extremely tall, domineering, as steady as Mt. Tai, aggressive and full of muscle and power, it attracted everyone's attention.
Lei Xiao Jun's gaze was also attracted.
Until he saw a young man wearing sunglasses walking out of the Knight XV, Lei Xiao Jun's face lit up with ecstasy.
"Brother Chen!"
He shouted and ran over at a jogging speed. A few of his bodyguards followed him and ran, attracting the attention of many media reporters.
"Brother Lei."
Chen Jin recognized the person running at the front with just one look. His split hairstyle and doll-like smiling face … Who else could it be but Brother Lei?
"Boss?" The bodyguard in sunglasses next to him blocked Chen Jin's way with vigilance in his eyes.
"He's my good friend. He's not a threat."
Chen Jin asked the bodyguard to step aside. He opened his arms and hugged Lei Xiao Jun. "Brother Lei, nice to meet you."
"Hahahaha!"
Lei Xiao Jun laughed heartily. "Brother Chen, we've known each other for more than a year. I've said many times that I wanted to meet you, but today is the first time I've seen you in person. Nice to meet you!"
The two hugged again and patted each other's shoulders. The scene was full of camaraderie.
It was also captured by a reporter's camera. He had already thought of a sensational headline: "Shock, Brother Lei Hugs a Fresh Meat in Public."
After some small talk.
Chen Jin asked with concern, "Brother Lei, Da Mi was fined a huge sum by the European Union, and the M nation's National Security Bureau fined us another 500 million US dollars. The losses are not small. The internet said that you 'disappeared' for more than two months and suffered from severe depression. This can't be true, right? You don't have to be depressed, right? "
Lei Xiao Jun shook his head and smiled bitterly. "I was almost depressed. I was so badly scolded by the netizens that I didn't dare to go out and meet people. I only dare to come out and relax now that the limelight has passed. Sigh, Brother Chen, don't mention these unhappy things anymore."
"Don't mention it. It's good that you're not depressed, Brother Lei. This illness is not easy to cure."
Lei Xiao Jun raised his hand to look at the time. It was 9: 58. He immediately pulled Chen Jin's shirt and said, "The opening ceremony will start in two minutes. Brother Chen, let's stop chatting. Let's go into the convention center!"
"Sure."
Chen Jin took off his sunglasses, took off his windbreaker, and handed it to the bodyguard. He took out the invitation from his pocket and walked towards the entrance of the convention center.
"Hurry, hurry." Perhaps he was worried that he would be late, Brother Lei pulled him and jogged.
Chen Jin shook his head helplessly. No wonder Brother Lei was a straight-A student in university. This attitude of never being late was much better than Chen Jin, who had the habit of attending classes on time.
However, after entering the convention center's main hall, Chen Jin finally understood why Brother Lei did not dare to be late.
Sweeping his gaze across the hall, he saw that all the big bosses of the internet were seated inside and outside the country!
Ali Group's Jack Ma.
Tencent's Brother Xiao Ma.
Baidu's Li Yanhong.
Jingxi Mall's Liu Qiangxi.
Wangyi Group's Shi Lei. Toutiao's Lu Yiming. Laipinduo's Huang Qiang.
There were also many foreign faces. They might be very famous, but Chen Jin did not recognize them.
In short, the big bosses had gathered in this convention hall!
However —
"I hereby announce that the Seventh World Internet Conference has officially opened!"
On the rostrum, when the organizer's spokesperson loudly announced the opening of the conference, there was no applause from the audience.
Instead, the gazes of all the big bosses in the hall uniformly turned towards the entrance of the passageway.
Some of the big bosses sitting in the back even stood up.
