Chapter 225: Meeting with Liu Dong, Dreaming of the Future (Part 2/4)

“At first, I thought the same as you all! But as soon as I saw the characters written by Mr. Tang, I immediately realized my thinking was wrong! Mr. Tang’s calligraphy level is truly masterful! Even compared to those domestic calligraphy masters, he is not to be outdone,” Wang Wenqing hurriedly explained.

“Director Wang, you can’t be joking with us! Tang Feng is so young, even if he started practicing calligraphy from the womb, it wouldn’t be possible for him to become a master!” The colleagues clearly showed some disbelief.

“What I’m saying is true! Initially, Mr. Tang planned to gift these characters to the owner of the hotpot restaurant, proposing that our research center’s colleagues could enjoy certain discounts when dining there. Upon hearing this, the owner immediately took out these membership cards. I just didn’t expect that each card would contain ten thousand yuan,” Wang Wenqing said, shaking his head.

“Unbelievable! Mr. Tang is so talented! It seems I also need to find an opportunity to ask him for a few characters!” Some colleagues were already gearing up, eager to try.

“Better not! Mr. Tang is so busy, where would he find the leisure to write characters for everyone! Let’s all work hard and strive to complete the Beidou Phase Two project soon! Perhaps Mr. Tang will be so pleased that he’ll gift each of us a piece!” Wang Wenqing said.

“Director Wang is right! Let’s all focus on our work!”

Wang Wenqing stayed for a while longer, then returned to Tang Feng’s side.

Tang Feng was discussing some technical issues with Zhang Liang.

Wang Wenqing joined in the discussion.

After the discussion was over, Wang Wenqing said to Tang Feng, “I’ve distributed the membership cards to our colleagues. They were very excited upon receiving them. Some of them couldn’t wait and called to check how much money was on the cards.”

“How much?” Tang Feng asked.

“Ten thousand.”

“Each card has ten thousand?”

“Yes.”

“Good! I’ve got it!”

“Mr. Tang, if I may ask, would you be interested in joining the Chinese Calligraphers Association?” Wang Wenqing brought up the topic.

“To be honest, no. I’m not interested in that,” Tang Feng replied.

“But your calligraphy level is so high, you’re definitely qualified to join the Chinese Calligraphers Association! And with your skill, you could at least be a vice president!” Wang Wenqing said.

“Titles like vice president are just nominal to me. I also don’t have the time to participate in association activities. Director Wang, thank you for your kindness,” Tang Feng said.

Seeing him say so, Wang Wenqing had no choice but to drop the subject.

After finishing work in the afternoon, Tang Feng received a call from Su Xiaoli.

“Brother Feng, when will you be done on your side?” Su Xiaoli asked.

“Just finished. I’ll be leaving soon,” Tang Feng replied.

“Then I’ll also hurry up and set off! Let’s meet at the hotel entrance,” Su Xiaoli said.

“Okay,” Tang Feng nodded.

“Mr. Tang, do you have time tonight? How about we have dinner together?” Zhang Liang suggested.

“Today might not be possible! I’ve already made an appointment with someone else,” Tang Feng replied.

“Then you go ahead! We can dine another day.”

“I’ll invite you too!”

Tang Feng bid farewell and hurriedly left.

Soon, he arrived at the hotel entrance.

Su Xiaoli was already waiting there.

Seeing Tang Feng get off the car, she quickly walked a few steps to meet him.

“Have Zigang and the others not arrived yet?” Tang Feng asked with a smile.

“Not yet! They’ll probably take a while longer,” Su Xiaoli replied.

“What about Liu Dong?” Tang Feng continued.

“I just called him, he’s on his way to the hotel. Should be here in about five minutes.”

As soon as Su Xiaoli finished speaking, Liu Dong approached from not far away!

Tang Feng was very happy to see Liu Dong, who was still very young at this time!

After all, before his rebirth, Liu Dong’s business was very successful!

Jingdong Mall not only successfully went public but also had a high market value!

Liu Dong had become a man worth billions!

Of course, what impressed Tang Feng the most was Liu Dong’s wife.

Liu Dong’s wife graduated from Tsinghua University, more than a decade younger than him!

It made one can’t help but sigh, it’s good to be wealthy!

However, Tang Feng did not envy him.

After all, he already had Su Xiaoli!

“Brother Feng, let me introduce you! This is Liu Dong, the founder of Jingdong Mall.”

“Mr. Liu, this is my boyfriend Tang Feng. He is also a major shareholder of our Huaxing Investment Company.”

Su Xiaoli introduced both parties to each other.

Tang Feng shook hands with him.

“Mr. Tang, I’ve long admired your name! The uu chat software you developed, I’ve been using it! It’s really very convenient!” Liu Dong’s eyes carried a hint of admiration.

“In a while, the general manager of Li Feng Network Company, Ma Huateng, will also come over! Then you can meet him,” Tang Feng said with a smile.

“Ma Huateng is really impressive! If it wasn’t for your development of the uu chat software, his Tencent would probably become the dominant player in the chat software market!” Liu Dong said, sighing.

Tang Feng smiled slightly and said, “Technology is the core competitiveness. The chat software developed by Ma Huateng was too slow in updating its technology, leading to a loss of competitiveness in the end.”

“It’s mainly because your technical level is too high. I asked the programmers in our company, and they all see you as a role model. They all want to become a tech guru like you,” Liu Dong said.

“As long as they’re willing to work hard, sooner or later, they will surpass me,” Tang Feng said.

At that moment, Ma Huateng and Zhu Zihang appeared in front of Tang Feng and the others.

Tang Feng greeted them and then introduced Liu Dong to them.

Liu Dong was very happy to meet Ma Huateng!

However, he was somewhat surprised when he heard about Zhu Zihang’s identity.

“It’s unexpected that the renowned Jianbao Network’s CEO would be so young!” Liu Dong’s eyes were filled with envy!

After all, he was almost thirty.

Compared to Zhu Zihang, he felt much older.

“I’m just riding on Mr. Tang’s coattails. If it weren’t for his development of Jianbao Network, I wouldn’t have the status and position I have now,” Zhu Zihang laughed.

“I must have heard wrong! Mr. Tang! You developed Jianbao Network too?!” Liu Dong was utterly astonished upon hearing this.

“Yes,” Tang Feng nodded, “I’m quite optimistic about online shopping! So, I created this website and then handed it over to Zihang to manage. Not to hide from everyone, Zihang is my college roommate. He has a great talent for mathematics, but to help me, he basically gave up his studies.”
