Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?

The whole dinner meeting was simpler and more mundane than Li Jing had anticipated.

Most of the conversation at the table was led by Zhou Shun, while Liu Huaming only occasionally chimed in. He didn't deliberately put on a cold face; it seemed more like he was naturally not a talkative person, which was somewhat different from what Li Jing had expected.

However, the faint air of authority that Liu Huaming exuded allowed Li Jing to sense that he was someone who had held a leadership position for many years.

Fortunately, Zhou Shun was there with his outspoken personality; otherwise, a meal with a person of such character as Liu Huaming would probably have been awkwardly silent for Li Jing.

What surprised Li Jing was that later in the meal, Liu Huaming took the initiative to chat with him. From his expression, it was clear that Liu Huaming was somewhat surprised by Li Jing's eloquence and ideas.

Li Jing guessed that Liu Huaming might have taken him for a privileged heir, so he was a bit astonished by some of Li Jing's perspectives during the conversation.

And these views happened to align with some of Liu Huaming's, which led to a somewhat favorable first impression of Li Jing.

The interaction between Li Jing and Liu Huaming was noticed by Zhou Shun, who saw that the two could get along and thus became even more enthusiastic about creating a lively atmosphere at the dinner.

After the dinner ended, Liu Huaming intentionally lingered and asked Li Jing to leave first.

After watching the blue Maserati disappear from view, Liu Huaming accepted a cigarette from Zhou Shun, allowed him to light it, took a puff, and exhaled slowly, remarking in a low voice, "This person seems quite steady, not as impetuous as other young people."

Zhou Shun lit a cigarette for himself and said, "Captain Liu, would the person I introduced to you be unreliable? This President Li graduated from a prestigious university, previously worked as a project manager, and made money in some investments. He might still have some assets back home.

Overall, even though he's wealthy, he doesn't show off extravagantly. He's capable and quite reliable in his actions."

Liu Huaming nodded slightly, glanced at the restaurant manager passing by in the distance.

Upon noticing this, the restaurant manager hurried forward to greet Liu Huaming warmly and respectfully, then tactfully left quickly seeing they were in the midst of a conversation.

After the restaurant manager walked away, Liu Huaming continued, "His circle in Celestial Sea City is relatively clean, right? My brother just got transferred here from elsewhere, and he doesn't want to interact too much with people too deeply entangled in the local circles to avoid trouble."

"Understood, I've been in contact with Li Jing recently. Apart from being generous with spending, he seems to have no issues so far," Zhou Shun replied earnestly. "Moreover, his character is quite reliable, and he has a righteous worldview and is loyal to his friends."

Finishing his cigarette, Liu Huaming extinguished it in a nearby trash can and nodded slightly, "Okay, this person seems fine. We can try to cooperate in the future.

No need to engage in any shady dealings, just normal cooperation if he proves trustworthy. If things seem right, later on, we can arrange for him to meet my brother, which would be beneficial for his development in Celestial Sea City."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhou Shun's eyes, realizing that Liu Huaming had given preliminary approval of Li Jing. He softly asked, "Captain Liu, do you think we should suggest to President Li to establish some kind of company…"

"I said no shady business for now."

Before Zhou Shun could finish his sentence, Captain Liu frowned slightly and looked at him sternly, "Things aren't like they used to be, Old Zhou. Your old-fashioned thinking needs to change. Times have progressed, and you must progress too, or you'll suffer losses."

Saying this, he patted the ash off his sleeve, "My brother was right. He said, you older folks still sticking to old ways are bound to run into trouble. That's why he wants me to interact more with younger people."

After speaking, he didn't say much more, patting Zhou Shun's shoulder, "You've been drinking, so don't drive. Drunk driving checks are strict now, don't get into trouble over a small matter like this."

As he finished speaking, Liu Huaming noticed a black sedan had already pulled up by the roadside. He calmly walked over, got into the back seat without looking back to say goodbye, and then left.

Zhou Shun stood by the roadside until he watched Liu Huaming leave completely, then took out his phone to find a designated driver in the night.

...

On the way back to the hotel, Li Jing pondered the earlier dinner meeting.

He already knew the other person's identity and name and deliberately looked it up on his phone.

Seeing Liu Huaming's photo in a suit and his position description on the official website, Li Jing clicked his tongue, surprised that he had just dined with the head of a unit.

At the dinner meeting, Liu Huaming was observing Li Jing, while Li Jing was also assessing him.

This content originates from M1VLEMPYR, My Virtual Library Empire.

Based on the information provided by Zhou Shun previously, Li Jing felt that Liu Huaming was the practical type, steady, not fond of speaking, with a cool aura of seriousness.

Compared to those leaders who are extremely skilled in socializing and managing, with deeply hidden intentions, Li Jing preferred interacting with practical types like Liu Huaming.

Liu Huaming seemed stern, but Li Jing found him more pleasant to be around than those who smile while hiding a knife.

As for the leader Zhou Shun had mentioned before, he actually didn't bring it up much during this dinner.

It seemed the other person might not have felt that their relationship was close enough to discuss Liu Huaming's leader and related matters.

Li Jing didn't mind this; knowing someone like that might be good, but it wasn't necessary. After all, he didn't rely on such people to make money.

But where there are people, there are rivalries, and as his assets increase, the level of circles he interacts with is destined to be higher.

By then, apart from being rich enough himself, he'll need his own network and influence. Otherwise, standing out would bring trouble, and he would be nothing but an undefended target for opportunists.

In this society of money and power, no one can remain untouched.

Sometimes, spending money won't solve everything, but a single word from someone else can get things done.

This is the foundation that Li Jing currently lacks.

Upon returning to the hotel, as soon as Li Jing opened the door, he received a message from Zhang Xinxin.

With the National Day holiday over, Zhang Xinxin had to go home and prepare to return to work the next day.

Regarding the recent behavior of Zhang Xinxin and An Tong, Li Jing was quite satisfied and promised to buy them a new bag, which made them both very happy.

After replying to Zhang Xinxin on his phone, he took off his clothes and headed to the bathroom to shower, only to find that the bath was already filled with warm water.

Li Jing showed a look of surprise, but when he looked back, he saw An Tong wrapped in a towel gracefully walking from outside the bathroom.

"Are you going to take a bath?"

"No, this is specially prepared for you."

An Tong smiled, her smile looking especially bright under the lights.

Then, she gently pushed Li Jing into the spacious, warm bathtub, and then she undid her robe and slowly entered the tub, sitting behind Li Jing, softly saying, "You've been working hard these days, let me help you wash up."

Looking back at An Tong's exquisite face amid the steam in the bathroom, Li Jing felt his mind and body relax. He nodded, simply closing his eyes and reclining against her soft embrace as she massaged him.

An Tong's hands wandered gently through the water, caressing him. Seeing Li Jing's face of enjoyment, she smiled and said, "I've recently learned a massage technique good for the kidneys, let me try it on you…"

Before Li Jing could respond, his expression shifted slightly, feeling as though he was gently enveloped by the warm waters.

The night, at this moment, was shrouded in an intimate and tender romance, growing ever more ambiguous.
