Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 579 Invited by the Ministry of Science and Technology! Financial connections? Sorry, we deal

Chapter 579 Invited by the Ministry of Science and Technology! Financial connections? Sorry, we deal directly with the top leadership!
Elite individuals like Zhao Jun have extensive networks of contacts.

Moreover, it seems that he does know some people in the aerospace industry. After all, this circle is not very big, and there are only a handful of people who are truly famous, capable, and powerful.

Moreover, since Zhao Jun knew about this aerospace technology seminar, he must know the organizers.

Zhao Jun dialed a number, it was answered, the other end rang a few times, and then the call was connected.

"Hello, Director Liu, are you busy right now? Is this a convenient time to talk?"

"Ah, okay, Director Liu, I have a question I'd like you to help me investigate. I wonder if it's convenient for you to do so?"

"Is this right? Aren't you preparing for a space technology exchange meeting? There's a space launch site on Hong Kong Island. Is that organization on the list of invitees?"

"Okay, could you please check for me and call me back when it's convenient?"

"Okay, that's great. I'll wait for your call. Thank you, Director Liu."

Zhao Jun hung up the phone, looked at Hu Jiangshan and Zhang Rui, and gave them a half-smile.

It felt as if Zhao Jun himself was a judge; people like them are probably used to judging others this way.

They think they're so great, so arrogant, and that they can crush ordinary people—that's the power of social class.

People in the financial industry, especially those who are connected to the inner circle, all consider themselves to be upper-class individuals.

Zhao Jun is that kind of person.

Xie Xiaolan became somewhat uneasy.

If the person Zhao Jun found said that Tenglong Island Space Launch Site was not on the list of invitees to the meeting, then wouldn't that mean Zhang Rui was lying?

Then Xie Xiaolan's newly built confidence in Zhang Rui collapsed once again.

This was not a good thing for Xie Xiaolan, since he had liked Zhang Rui a lot before, but they were both very busy with work and lived apart for a long time.

Both were career-oriented and found it difficult to give up their work, which ultimately led to their breakup.

But even after all these years, Xie Xiaolan still likes Zhang Rui very much, and her feelings for him remain.

Xie Xiaolan didn't want her mindset to change any further, and she now felt quite interested in visiting the space launch site that Zhang Rui had mentioned.

Her relationship with Zhang Rui might still be able to be restored.

At the same time, Hu Jiangshan and Zhang Rui exchanged a glance and remained silent.

Seeing their reactions, Zhao Jun said, "Do you two have anything to say now?"

Hu Jiangshan said calmly, "What is there for us to say? You can verify it yourself. There is no need to communicate with us anymore."

Zhao Jun was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Hu Jiangshan to be so tough.

These two guys are really stubborn as mules; they won't admit it until they're faced with a real problem.

Zhao Jun simply couldn't believe that someone from a launch site on Hong Kong Island could be invited to such a high-level meeting.

Zhao Jun said, "What kind of advice can you two offer? It's hilarious."

Zhang Rui smiled slightly: "You're not from the aerospace system, of course you wouldn't understand. It's like being in a completely different field. How could someone in finance possibly understand what aerospace technology is?"

"you……"

Zhao Jun couldn't find a reason to refute it. Although people in finance earn a lot, there aren't many high skill requirements, which is completely different from those in aerospace technology.

Aerospace technology is a cutting-edge field. Most countries in the world are already quite proud if they have a few people who can be called aerospace experts.

Xie Xiaolan almost burst out laughing.

It seems Zhang Rui is still the same as always. He usually seems dull, but when it comes to professional and work-related matters, he becomes very eloquent.

Zhu Yingmeng felt that Zhao Jun had gone too far, and said in a low voice, "You're getting too worked up. Why get so angry? It's not necessary."

Zhao Jun waved his hand: "Why is it unnecessary? I can't stand people bragging and swindling everywhere, especially those who use the title of a high-tech department to brag. These swindlers are practically committing crimes, they are utterly despicable!"

Zhao Jun glanced at Xie Xiaolan as he said this, and added, "Besides, would you really want Xiaolan to get back together with that liar?"

"That's... not so appealing, if he's a fraud."

"Therefore, we must expose their lies and absolutely cannot let them get away with it. We must teach them a lesson: lying doesn't work everywhere!"

Just then, Zhao Jun's cell phone rang.

Zhao Jun's eyes lit up, as if to say, "See? Director Liu has already given me a reply. Let's see how I expose your lies!"

Zhao Jun answered the phone: "Hello, Director Liu, have you found anything?"

"Okay, okay, I'm listening."

"Yes, they said they came from Hong Kong Island. A new launch site has been built on Hong Kong Island. I don't know the specifics, but they said they were from the launch site. Isn't that ridiculous?"

"These two people actually claimed they were invited to this aerospace technology exchange meeting. I told them they weren't qualified, but they insisted..."

"...Huh? What? People from Hong Kong Island were really invited? Yes, which organization is it?"

"...Tenglong Island Space Launch Site?"

As Zhao Jun finished speaking, he glanced at Hu Jiangshan and Zhang Rui, and his expression fell.

"Director Zhao, is this true? There must be some mistake. Why would they be invited to such a high-level aerospace technology symposium? They shouldn't have the qualifications and expertise, right?"

"...Okay, okay, Director Zhao, I understand. Well, thank you anyway. You can continue with your work now, I won't bother you any longer."

At this moment, Zhao Jun hung up the phone, speechless, his eyes vacant, looking as if he was about to bleed from all seven orifices.

Zhu Yingmeng asked with concern, "How did it go? Did Director Liu say anything?"

"He, he, he said..."

Zhao Jun came to his senses and hesitated for a long time, seemingly finding it very difficult to speak.

"What exactly did he say? Did you receive a call from Director Liu?"

"Well... Director Liu said that there were indeed people from Hong Kong Island attending this technical seminar."

"Are those people from the launch site?"

Zhao Jun hesitated for a moment: "...Yes, that's right."

Suddenly, Zhao Jun said, "But that doesn't necessarily mean it's true for the two of them. Maybe they're imposters."

Zhu Yingmeng's eyes widened: "Impersonators? Why would they impersonate people from the launch site? Couldn't they impersonate someone more capable?"

"Uh, that does make some sense..."

Xie Xiaolan overheard their conversation and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Zhang Rui wasn't lying, proving he's still a good man, that's enough; nothing else matters.

Moreover, if Zhang Rui really works at a space launch site, he is indeed remarkable.

Xie Xiaolan broke up with Zhang Rui because she saw no hope for the future.

Zhang Rui is indeed very capable, but he is not satisfied with working in a small company and always wants to do something big. But how easy is it to do something big?
Zhang Rui has low emotional intelligence; if he doesn't encounter a good boss, it's simply impossible for him to succeed.

This time, Zhao Jun stopped talking. He knew it was embarrassing and wished he could leave as soon as possible, or he would have to find somewhere to crawl out.

Fortunately, Hu Jiangshan and Zhang Rui quickly finished their food and coffee, then said goodbye and left the restaurant. Zhu Yingmeng glanced at Zhao Jun and whispered to Xie Xiaolan, "It seems this Zhang Rui, your ex-boyfriend, is quite something."

Xie Xiaolan said, "Weren't you just being sarcastic? Why are you saying this now? It's contradictory."

"I didn't. I was just testing his reaction. If he gets angry after just a couple of sentences, then he's a jerk. What's the point of getting back together with him? It's completely unnecessary! Jerks are everywhere."

"Oh dear, when did I say I wanted to get back together with him? Don't talk nonsense!"

"Huh? If you didn't want to get back together with him, why did you agree to visit his workplace? And you even exchanged contact information with him? Is that how you behave?"

"I... but... we're not strangers, so even if we don't become friends, we can still be friends."

"Pah! I don't believe you for a second, you wicked old man! Friends? What kind of friendship is there between a man and a woman? Stop lying! I can read your mind!"

Xie Xiaolan fell silent, unable to find a reason to refute.

At this moment, Zhu Yingmeng suddenly said, "By the way, the person who was with your ex-boyfriend just now..."

Xie Xiaolan was stunned: "What's wrong with him?"

Zhu Yingmeng whispered, "He's quite handsome."

Xie Xiaolan glanced at Zhu Yingmeng: "Your infatuation has flared up again."

The next morning, Hu Jiangshan got up, washed up, changed his clothes, and went to knock on the door of the next room.

Hu Jiangshan and Zhang Rui did not stay in the same room, but booked two separate rooms.

This is quite normal. Hu Jiangshan is the boss, and the boss of a large group at that. Naturally, he wouldn't rent a room just to save money.

This is inconvenient and uncomfortable.

Of course, if Zhang Rui is Zhou Yuezhu, then it's a different story.

Zhang Rui also got up early and was already prepared.

After all, Hong Kong Island is not particularly far from Hangzhou, so there was no issue of jet lag, and both of them got a good rest.

The two went to a restaurant together.

The restaurant at this hotel is quite good. After all, it's a resort hotel, so the service quality is naturally excellent. The breakfast selection is comparable to that of a five-star hotel.

After selecting his food, Hu Jiangshan picked up his tray and sat down by the window.

Zhang Rui hadn't returned yet, so Hu Jiangshan ate while looking out the window at the scenery.

Hangzhou is a tourist city, so the scenery at the resort hotels in the suburbs is naturally quite nice.

Looking out, you see lush green trees, bright sunshine, and a beautiful lake view. Dining in such an environment will make you feel relaxed and happy.

Just then, Hu Jiangshan heard some noise at the restaurant entrance and frowned slightly.

What's going on here? Why are people arguing in this place?
Hu Jiangshan looked up and, lo and behold, vaguely saw a familiar face.

Isn't that Zhang Xiaorou?
That is, Chen Yifei's assistant.

That's right, it should be Zhang Xiaorou.

Hu Jiangshan hadn't seen Zhang Xiaorou for a while, and he almost didn't recognize her when he saw her for the first time.

No, that's not the key issue.

Zhang Xiaorou is here. Could it be that Chen Yifei is here too?
However, that's not necessarily true. Zhang Xiaorou is just Chen Yifei's assistant, not her stand-in, so they can't be together all the time.

Perhaps Zhang Xiaorou is on vacation.

Moreover, while this hotel is quite good, it still doesn't quite match the standards of top-tier celebrities.

Unless there are special circumstances, top-tier people obviously stay in top-tier luxury hotels.

Zhang Xiaorou was surrounded by several people. They didn't look like fans, but rather reporters or media people.

Zhang Xiaorou was unable to move and kept explaining.

Hu Jiangshan thought about it for a moment and wondered if he should go over and help her out of the predicament.
Although Zhang Xiaorou was always annoyed with him and couldn't put on a friendly face, she was Chen Yifei's assistant, and it was her duty.

Moreover, the girl is actually quite honest and doesn't have any bad intentions, which is quite endearing.

Hu Jiangshan stood up and walked towards the restaurant entrance.

There was still some entanglement over there.

Zhang Xiaorou said helplessly, "I've already told you all that I'm on vacation and not working right now. Yifei isn't here at all."

One of the men said, "Then tell me, where is Yifei now?"

Another woman said, "Yeah, if Yifei isn't here, then where could she be? Tell us, we haven't heard from her lately, what happened?"

Zhang Xiaorou said, "Oh dear, she must be at home. She's on vacation right now and hasn't gone out at all. Don't you know Yifei is a homebody? Whenever she's not working, she stays at home, tending to her flowers, watching TV, playing with her cat, and so on. She never goes out."

"No, that's impossible! It's been a month already."

"Could Yifei be sick?"

Zhang Xiaorou raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean you're sick! You're the one who's sick! Your whole family is sick! What right do you have to curse Yifei? Are you crazy? Watch your mouth! If you keep talking nonsense, I won't be polite!"

Hu Jiangshan found it amusing.

Zhang Xiaorou may seem a bit slow and clumsy, but she's quite eloquent and can rattle off a whole string of words when she gets anxious.

However, there has been very little news about Chen Yifei recently. Her social media accounts only feature promotions for her films, but her current situation remains completely undisclosed, leaving us wondering what's going on.

Hu Jiangshan was also quite curious about this.

Hu Jiangshan then stepped forward to help Zhang Xiaorou out of the predicament.

"Make way! I said make way!"

Hu Jiangshan squeezed in.

Zhang Xiaorou's eyes lit up as soon as she saw Hu Jiangshan: "Ah, Boss Hu, what are you doing here?"

Hu Jiangshan said, "Isn't it normal for me to be here? Perfect, let's find a place to talk."

"it is good!"

Having found a reason, Zhang Xiaorou also gained some strength, squeezed through the crowd, and left with Hu Jiangshan.

Those who were gathered around looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Who is that man?"

"He looks quite handsome, could he be her boyfriend?"

"That's not right, I haven't heard that Zhang Xiaorou has a boyfriend."
