Chapter 195
After all, the two of them were in love.
Ye Chen was very happy that Zhang Lei could get out of this ill-fated relationship.
I remember that in the previous life, Zhang Lei had always helped me.
But later, Wu Xue made him suffer.
So in this life, he must take good care of his brother.
Zhang Lei also needs Ye Chen, a good brother, to accompany him at this moment.
He can have a drink, sleep, and forget all these bad things.
As for other people, Ye Chen no longer cares.
Now that things have become like this, this university party is meaningless.
That's why Ye Chen said this.
As for the reactions of other classmates, Ye Chen doesn't care.
Zhang Lei nodded: "You are right, this party is meaningless. Let's go to another place and have a drink together."
Zhang Lei felt that Ye Chen's proposal made sense, so he said with a smile.
Zhang Lei glanced at the other high school classmates and said with an apologetic look on his face: "Classmates, I am very sorry. I originally hoped that everyone could reunite after graduation and witness our love come to fruition, but I didn't expect things to turn out like this."
"To express my personal apology, this meal is considered to be my treat for everyone. In addition, I have booked a room for everyone. If you are willing, you can go there to rest after dinner. I will pay for all the expenses."
As expected of a dog who spent two million, this amount of consumption is about 100,000, but Zhang Lei didn't feel anything at all, with a calm face.
After saying that, he didn't care about the reactions of the crowd, turned around and walked out of the banquet hall with Ye Chen.
At this time, Wu Xue suddenly remembered something.
"Zhang Lei, you can't leave." She chased out immediately.
However, the security guards on the side had already stopped her.
After all, everyone in the hotel knew that Ye Chen and the general manager Wu Guang were friends.
So, how could they let Wu Xue get close to Ye Chen.
Several burly security guards directly stopped Wu Xue and did not give him the opportunity to get close to Zhang Lei.
There was no chance for Wu Xue to beg for mercy at all.
After leaving the hotel, Ye Chen and Zhang Lei came to a barbecue stall and sat down.
This was the barbecue stall they often came to in high school.
Although it was not so refined and upscale, Ye Chen preferred such a relaxed atmosphere.
The two ordered draft beer and some barbecued edamame.
Ye Chen and Zhang Lei drank a glass of beer, and Ye Chen asked: "Do you regret it?"
Zhang Lei smiled bitterly: "Actually, I really regret it."
"But what I regret is not that I dumped Wu Xue, but that I shouldn't have put all my thoughts on her in the past few years."
"I regret why I was blind and fell in love with a woman like her who hides her heart and lungs."
"Now I think I was a fool at that time."
Of course, Zhang Lei's thoughts are completely different now.
Ye Chen couldn't help but complain: "If a nerd like you is a fool, then what are we? You are the most promising in our class in terms of study."
Zhang Lei also smiled bitterly.
Now Zhang Lei regrets it very much, and remembers what Ye Chen said to him before.
If he had listened to Ye Chen earlier, he wouldn't have been played by that woman for so many years.
Ye Chen also deliberately joked with Zhang Lei, actually wanting Zhang Lei to let go of this matter and forget all the unpleasantness.
"By the way, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Lei mentioned Ye Chen.
Ye Chen smiled and said, "I did sink for a while, but now I have invested in several projects and they are doing well."
He talked to Zhang Lei about several projects he invested in.
"Fuck, you are too awesome. I studied in the United States and worked hard to start a business. It took me several years to create a company, but now you have tens of millions of investments."
Zhang Lei was jealous, very jealous.
Surprise, but as a good friend, Zhang Lei is still very happy that he is doing so well now.
Ye Chen suddenly changed the topic and asked, "Zhang Lei, have you ever thought about returning to China to start a business?"
Hearing Ye Chen's words, Zhang Lei was also stunned.
He shook his head and said, "I am doing very well in the United States now, and the company is running well. It is now valued at millions. If I can sell it, I might consider returning to China to start a business, but now..."
When he said this, Zhang Lei smiled.
But the bitterness in his smile
Perhaps he is the only one who knows it best.
"What projects does your company do?"
Ye Chen also pretended to be curious and asked.
In fact, Ye Chen had long known that Zhang Lei was a video company, and the future development was not bad.
"It's a small company that makes video programs."
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Great, video programs."
He looked at Zhang Lei and said with a smile, "Old Zhang, if I tell you that I want to invest in you, or directly acquire your company, are you interested?"
"You want to acquire our company?" Zhang Lei looked at Ye Chen blankly.
He looked at Ye Chen in surprise, and seemed not to understand the meaning of Ye Chen's words.
Although he just said casually that he would return to China if he sold the company.
But Ye Chen would not directly acquire his company just because of what he just said.
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Actually, I just advised you to return to China to start a business for this reason."
"I also plan to make a video program, or more precisely, a short video program company, but it would be very troublesome to start from scratch, so I have always wanted to acquire an existing video company."
"And your company is in good business condition. Although it is not a big video company in the United States, all the technologies have been formed. I can use them directly, which can save me a lot of trouble from starting from scratch."
"Another important reason is that if I set up a short video company in China, then your company in the United States can exist as a branch of mine, which can save me the trouble of setting up an overseas video software branch in the future."
Ye Chen briefly explained his purpose.
Of course, these are just Ye Chen's ideas.
Ye Chen knows that Douyin will be very popular in the future.
Now Zhang Lei's short video coincides with Ye Chen's future ideas, which makes Ye Chen have such thoughts.
Zhang Lei thought for a while and said, "Old Ye, let me think about it.
Ye Chen also understood very well.
After all, a company cannot be sold just like that. There are many issues involved.
For example, equity, partnership, etc.
Even if Zhang Lei really wanted to sell this company to Ye Chen, he could not make the decision by himself. He had to discuss it with his partners.
