Chapter 292: Chapter 292: Putting on Airs

"If Chengzhou is willing to invest a portion, I’d like to agree," Lu Youxi said. "Our biggest problem right now is that we don’t have enough funds, just relying on my little money, and Chengzhou’s startup support, it’s difficult to develop to a certain extent."

"If we could have in-depth cooperation with Chengzhou and integrate their smart devices with ours. If all their products could embed our products, that would be hugely beneficial to us," Lu Youxi saw Ji Deyi’s and Pei Jingyuan’s eyes light up and continued, "But everything still has to wait until we talk it over."

"What do you guys think?" Lu Youxi asked for their opinions.

"We agree too," Ji Deyi and Pei Jingyuan nodded at the same time.

"Ok, then if Chengzhou contacts me, we can all go together for the meeting. Feel free to share any opinions you two might have," Lu Youxi said with a smile.

Pei Jingyuan scratched his head, he didn’t really have any opinions and planned to let Lu Youxi take charge of everything.

However, the fact that Lu Youxi respected them made them both feel warm and secure inside.

Liu Yushu brought over a lunch box she’d made for Lu Youxi.

Lu Youxi hurriedly ate it.

By one-thirty, the driver drove according to the Little Pink Book’s company address recorded by Chengzhou and stopped in front of an internet café.

Driver: "..."

"Chairman Zhou, we’ve arrived," the driver said, not quite certain, sounding a bit guilty.

Zhou Xueyi: "..."

"Are you sure this is the place?" Zhou Xueyi, incredulous, rolled down the window and peered around.

This place didn’t look at all like a company area.

An old residential district, with small restaurants and hardware stores along the roadside.

"This is it," the driver said. "According to the address, it’s this internet café."

"How can it be an internet café?" Zhou Xueyi, stunned and with a raised voice.

Cao Zhijie told the driver, "It must be a mistake. Circle the street to see if there are any signs for Little Pink Book."

Then, he explained to Zhou Xueyi, "The company’s data indeed lists this address. Lu Youxi and their team might not have much money, potentially only renting one of these storefronts?"

"Let’s circle around then," Zhou Xueyi felt there was some reasoning in that.

The driver muttered to himself that according to the address, it was indeed this internet café.

But still, they drove a big loop around this street and nearby without finding it.

Finally, the car stopped again in front of the internet café.

"I’ll give them a call," Cao Zhijie said.

"How does this Little Pink Book look so unreliable?" Zhou Xueyi muttered.

Cao Zhijie dialed Lu Youxi’s number.

After a short while, the call connected, "Hello."

Earlier in the morning, Cao Zhijie had used the company’s landline.

So the number appearing on Lu Youxi’s phone screen wasn’t saved and he didn’t know who was calling.

"President Lu, hello, I’m Cao Zhijie," Cao Zhijie said.

"Hello, have you arrived?" Lu Youxi asked from his office.

"Well, we found the address you provided to Chengzhou, but... we didn’t see any signage for Little Pink Book. Instead, we found an internet café by following the address," Cao Zhijie asked, filled with confusion.

"Oh, yes, it’s the internet café, which is correct!" Lu Youxi exclaimed loudly, "Our office is on the second floor of the internet café."

Cao Zhijie: "..."

Who the hell places their company inside an internet café!

"I got it," Cao Zhijie said, emotions running complex, "We’ll head in right away."

Ending the call, Cao Zhijie turned to Zhou Xueyi in the back seat and said, "Chairman Zhou, Lu Youxi said... their company is on the second floor of the internet café."

Zhou Xueyi: "!!!"

If it wasn’t for Little Pink Book already partnering and launching online with Chengzhou, he’d really suspect Little Pink Book was a shell company.

"Let’s go have a look," Zhou Xueyi was already not very keen on investing in Little Pink Book, "to see their company’s environment."

"Chairman Zhou, I also feel it’s very unreliable," Cao Zhijie whispered with a frown, "Little Pink Book placing their office here feels like they might just take Chengzhou’s investment and run. Could it be they plan to just ride out this startup support period, make a quick profit and leave?"

Zhou Xueyi: "..."

Honestly, he too had that feeling!

"These concerns are not unfounded," Zhou Xueyi said solemnly, "Freshmen in college, how stable can they be? It’s also hard for them to persevere, and they might indeed just want to make a quick buck and leave. Otherwise, why after such a long time, is their company still only three people? They’ve even placed their office in an internet café, not willing to rent a proper place. Even renting one of the storefronts here would be decent enough!"

"Definitely, they probably don’t want to spend more money, thinking of making a quick profit and not planning to develop for the long term," Zhou Xueyi said sternly.

"They’re still just freshmen, having a shortsighted view is also possible. With Chengzhou’s support this time, they have already made a lot, probably more money than they’ve seen in their lives. Seeing such profits, they’re satisfied and don’t want to continue the hard work."

Zhou Xueyi nodded in agreement.

"Lu Youxi is coming out."

As Cao Zhijie spoke, Zhou Xueyi turned around and indeed saw Lu Youxi stepping down the stairs outside the internet café, smiling as he walked towards their car.

Zhou Xueyi: "!!!"

He now wanted to head back to his company, not wanting to talk about investing with Lu Youxi.

He feared his investment would be thrown away!

However, as Zhou Xueyi mulled over this, Lu Youxi had already arrived at their car.

Cao Zhijie had to hurry down to greet him, "President Lu, hello. I’m Chairman Zhou’s assistant, Cao Zhijie."

"Mr. Cao, hello," Lu Youxi shook hands with Cao Zhijie warmly.

Cao Zhijie then opened the car door for Zhou Xueyi, who got out and put on airs.

Nothing at all like the pressing manner Cao Zhijie had when contacting Lu Youxi in the morning.

Lu Youxi appeared unfazed, still smiling warmly as he greeted, "Chairman Zhou, welcome!"

Lu Youxi’s enthusiasm felt like she couldn’t wait for Zhou Xueyi to invest in her.

Zhou Xueyi’s alarm bells rang furiously, and his mind taut as if about to explode.

To him, Lu Youxi’s expression almost spelled out the words "wanting to deceive him of his money."

"President Lu," Zhou Xueyi bowed slightly, quite reserved, showing no intent to shake hands with Lu Youxi.

Lu Youxi feigned innocence, "You can just call me Xiao Lu. In your presence, how dare I call myself ’president’."

Zhou Xueyi: "..."

Heh.

Why didn’t you say that when talking to Mr. Cao?
