I was stuck on the same day for a thousand years

Chapter 49: Are you so careful?

It was a very spacious private room, much larger than the usual hotel private room that could seat more than a dozen people, but there was only a table in the middle of the private room, four wooden chairs, and there were decorations such as flower stands and screens in the room.

A middle-aged man in his early forties, wearing a simple high-necked T-shirt, baggy shorts, and slippers, was sitting at a table drinking tea.

He was tall and a bit fat, but not too fat, giving people a very strong feeling. His face was full of scum, and his hair hadn’t been washed for a few days. He looked very dirty and greasy.

As for the two bodyguards at the door, even if you picked anyone in random, they were a hundred times more temperamental than him!

He looked like an ordinary middle-aged man in the market. He might have had a good figure when he was young, but after he got married and had children, his figure began to lose shape, and he stopped paying attention to his clothes. Triviality smoothed out the edges and corners of youth and frivolity, becoame extremely mediocre, vulgar, and would be mediocre for a lifetime.

This was his first impression!

No one would think that he was a rich and powerful man!

But in fact, he was not only rich, but extremely rich!

One thing worth mentioning was that this man had a very faint scar on the right side of his neck. This was his most distinctive feature, and it was also the reason why he was used to wearing a high collar, which could block it.

As far as Wu Chen knew, this scar was caused by a car accident many years ago.

When Wu Chen entered the room, the slovenly middle-aged man also turned his head to look at the door.

When he saw Wu Chen for the first time, he was taken aback.

Wu Chen was also taken aback.

But the reason why the two were stunned was different.

The sloppy middle-aged man was stunned because Wu Chen was too young. He thought he had met a middle-aged rich man who had the same hobbies as him. He might be a little younger than him, but he wouldn’t be too young.

The two of them had a brief conversation before, and he could hear Wu Chen’s voice was a bit young, but his tone was very calm.

So he had guessed that Wu Chen might be in his early thirties, about the same age.

But he never expected that Wu Chen was only in his early twenties!

“So it’s you, Boss Lei.” Wu Chen spoke first, with a surprised look on his face. He did it on purpose to make the other party feel that they recognized him naturally, and that the two were really destined for each other!

“Chen? Wu Chen?” The sloppy middle-aged man asked. He knew that there might be a word Chen in Wu Chen’s name, because Wu Chen’s game character was called Overlord Chen, and his surname was asked before.

“Yes, it’s me.” Wu Chen nodded and walked inside.

The bodyguard closed the door outside.

“You know me?” the slovenly middle-aged man asked, his eyes following Wu Chen’s movements.

“Second son of the Lei family of Hongfa Industry, I have heard of your reputation for a long time. We are really destined.” Wu Chen said with a smile. When he said “destiny”, his expression became subtle.

The sloppy middle-aged man noticed this subtlety, and it was Wu Chen who made him notice on purpose.

After Wu Chen finished speaking, he gathered his suit again, and sat on the chair opposite the sloppy middle-aged man.

Hongfa Industry… In fact, there were quite a lot of companies with this name. It was a very popular name, not a duplicate name, because an official company name would not only have a few words, such as including the registered place name, if If you read them all, the name would definitely be different, and the business category would also be different.

Industry was a general term, and manufacturing-based enterprises, as well as some high-tech enterprises, could all be called industries.

The Hongfa Industry mentioned by Wu Chen was the Hongfa Weixing Precision Group in Guan’an County, Huaixi City.

This was an industrial group that could rank among the top ten in the country in the field of OEM, and was involved in many fields such as air-conditioning research and development, auto parts production, etc. The current total asset scale exceeded 60 billion!

The Hongfa Lei family, also known as the Lei family, held a total of 31% of Hongfa Group’s shares. Together, they were the largest shareholder of Hongfa and the actual controller of Hongfa.

Hongfa Group was originally a small state-owned factory in Guan’an County, Huaixi City. Its efficiency was very poor and it was close to bankruptcy.

In the early 1990s, when the tide of privatization came, Lei Zhenghui, who was the director of Hongfa Machinery Factory at the time, raised a sum of money to buy the factory, changed his business ideas, and developed rapidly.

In the 30-year history of Hongfa Precision, it experienced many bankruptcy crises and received several financings. After developing to a certain level, it also annexed another large industrial group “Weixing Industry”.

Financing and mergers and acquisitions, the shares were liquidated many times, which was the reason why the Lei family only has 31% of the shares.

However, the control of the enterprise had always been firmly in the hands of the Lei family, and equity and voting rights were two different things.

At present, the chairman of Hongfa Business Group was Lei Zhenghui, who was nearly 70 years old, but he was already in a semi-retired state. The actual manager was Lei Zhenghui’s eldest son, Lei You, who was the general manager.

And the one sitting in front of Wu Chen at the moment was Lei Zhenghui’s second and youngest son, named Lei Cheng.

Lei Cheng was 42 years old this year. He was currently the seventh largest individual shareholder in the company, holding 5% of the shares of Hongfa Group. In addition, he was also the deputy general manager of Hongfa Weixing and the chairman of Donghai Fumao Group, a subsidiary of Hongfa. He was a general manager.

He has been in Donghai for many years, so he still had some other businesses, but the scale was definitely not comparable to the family business.

“My reputation…ha…” Sloppy and greasy Lei Cheng smiled, seemingly cheerful, but Wu Chen felt a kind of self-mockery in it.

He smiled again and looked at Wu Chen and said, “Which family are you from?”

“Which one am I from?” Wu Chen asked back.

He pretended not to understand, but actually understood.

Lei Cheng was already guessing which big family Wu Chen came from, otherwise he couldn’t explain it, he was so rich at such a young age, and he spent tens of millions in private server games without blinking.

Obviously a super rich second generation!

“Which one?” Lei Cheng frowned suspiciously, thought for a while, picked up the teapot and asked with a smile, “Forget it, I won’t ask you, but… little brother, at your age, how can you play with such an old man? You’re so young, more than ten years younger than I thought.”

He asked, filled his teacup, and poured another cup of tea for Wu Chen.

There was only one pot of tea and two cups on the table.

“I tried to play casually. A lot of things have happened recently, and the pressure is too great. I tried to find a refreshing game to play. The last time I played that game was when I was in the fourth grade of elementary school.” Wu Chen said with a smile.

“Ha, how about venting the pressure?” Lei Cheng smiled, and then sighed. “You rich young people are really better than me when you spend money.”

“It’s okay.” Wu Chen smiled and turned his head again, glancing towards the door.

“Have a cup of tea first.” Lei Cheng gestured with the teacup.

Wu Chen picked up the teacup and said, “Boss Lei, those two bodyguards at the door don’t look like ordinary people, why are you so careful? Are you afraid that your brother will kill you?”

Lei Cheng who had just brought the teacup to his mouth suddenly froze, the eyes looking at Wu Chen became sharp in an instant.
