Li Changhe and Huang Heng were the last two juniors to arrive.
They didn't really get along with the nationally renowned young master, so for the longest time they had each other for company.
They cleaned toilets together, slept and ate together, and chatted aimlessly when bored.
Now that a newcomer had finally arrived, Li Changhe felt it was necessary to win him over and expand their two-person team by 50%.
Pu Zaiye had just arrived and could be described as isolated and helpless. Although everyone didn't dislike him and treated him courteously, he needed companions to talk to.
There were so many people in the villa, and they all played in factions. This was a normal phenomenon.
Even a small family of four could form factions, let alone so many people.
These factions were merely for playing together, not for competition.
Just like how the nationally renowned young master and his two friends played together, Jack Ma and Old Wang and Lei Ming tended to stick together.
"Okay, I'll trouble you then," Pu Zaiye said thankfully.
"You're welcome. Let's go, I'll show you around the villa," Li Changhe said to Pu Zaiye.
Around 2:30 PM, Lu Xiangfei rushed over. Xia Lin had invited him, and he dared not delay, speeding all the way.
When he entered the villa and saw groups of big shots, he was completely stunned.
No wonder his cousin said Xia Lin's influence was immense. Could that be described with just the word 'immense'?
Lu Xiangfei couldn't find a more impressive word in his mind at that moment. He could only describe it with five words: "Incredibly immense."
Lu Xiangfei had never imagined that he would one day meet so many prominent figures in person.
The moment he walked into the villa, he was completely dumbfounded.
"Old classmate, you're here," Xia Lin walked down from upstairs, with Liu Jingru walking beside her.
"Lin'er, Jingru," Lu Xiangfei swallowed and greeted Xia Lin somewhat bewilderedly.
"Come, I'll have Teacher Ma introduce you to two good talents," Xia Lin called out politely to Lu Xiangfei.
"Okay," Lu Xiangfei nodded mechanically, as if he had no brain.
He was already so shocked that his soul had flown away.
After all, he was just a small figure. Suddenly interacting with people at the pinnacle was indeed difficult to adapt to at first.
Xia Lin led Lu Xiangfei towards Jack Ma and called out, "Uncle Ma, my classmate is here. Please quickly introduce me to a couple of good fund managers."
Jack Ma glanced at Lu Xiangfei and said to Xia Lin, "No problem, anytime you need them."
They had also established their own foundations, and there were plenty of talented people in this field.
"Lin'er, why didn't you call me? I have them too," Penguin Ma asked from the side.
Was this discrimination? Why did they always favor Jack Ma?
It was the same online, where a poll was conducted for the two of them. Jack Ma received 83% of the votes, and he received 17%.
When he saw the results at the time, Penguin Ma felt like he had been deeply insulted.
What kind of unobservant people voted for this?
"Of course, Uncle Ma, you can also call some people over to share their experience. We plan to establish a foundation specifically to help classmates start businesses," Xia Lin nodded and explained to Penguin Ma.
"Alright, I guarantee it won't be worse than his," Penguin Ma said, specifically looking at Jack Ma.
"Hmph, what good talent can a loser like you find?" Jack Ma retorted unhappily.
"How about we compete this time?" Penguin Ma was not to be outdone.
"If we compete, we compete. Not competing is being a dog, alright? Just tell me how we'll compete," Jack Ma would never let Penguin Ma get the better of him. As long as it was a competition against Penguin Ma, he would have to push through it.
Even if he lost in the end, he would not lose face.
He didn't want Penguin Ma to think he was afraid to compete.
Lu Xiangfei's eyes widened in disbelief. They were arguing already?
These were two of the top entrepreneurs, and also his idols. Why did they act like market aunties, arguing at the drop of a hat?
Lu Xiangfei's worldview was completely overturned.
"How else can we compete? We'll send people to teach him. Whichever one he says is better, that's whose is better. We can't interfere with his thoughts, the decision is in his hands. Do you dare?" Penguin Ma pointed at the dazed Lu Xiangfei and said.
"I have no objections. What happens to the loser?" Jack Ma spread his hands, indicating he had no objections.
"Whoever loses will wash the other's clothes for a month," Penguin Ma exclaimed.
"Agreed. Whoever goes back on their word is a grandson," Jack Ma cursed.
"Good, whoever goes back on their word is a grandson," Penguin Ma replied without yielding, cursing back.
Lu Xiangfei was on the verge of tears. It was decided so easily?
Why didn't they ask me, the person involved, for my opinion? Can I even be a judge? No matter who wins, I'll offend a super influential figure.
Lu Xiangfei felt like dying and was speechless.
"Mr. Ma and Mr. Ma, please stop arguing. I can't handle it," Lu Xiangfei said with a pained expression.
"Don't worry about it. Just tell the truth, who is good and who is bad. Don't intentionally conceal anything. Regardless of the outcome, just tell the truth. We won't pressure you," Jack Ma comforted him.
"Yes, just tell the truth," Penguin Ma agreed with Jack Ma for the first time that day.
Lu Xiangfei: (⊙o⊙)…..
"Old classmate, just listen to them. Whoever you think teaches best, keep it in mind and say it truthfully," Xia Lin comforted the bewildered Lu Xiangfei.
"Al... alright," Lu Xiangfei nodded blankly.
"I remember you're quite good at games. Have you played recently? Want to play a few rounds?" Xia Lin asked Lu Xiangfei.
Back then, Lu Xiangfei had even wanted to organize a team to compete in professional matches, but unfortunately, before the plan could even begin, it had died in the cradle.
"Do you have a computer to play on at home?" Lu Xiangfei finally showed a bit of spirit upon hearing about games.
"Yes, I guarantee you'll play smoothly. I haven't won in a long time. You can carry me to a win," Xia Lin giggled.
"Okay, that's not a problem," Lu Xiangfei nodded.
"Then let's go." Xia Lin then led Lu Xiangfei towards the entertainment hall on the first basement floor.
At that moment, the nationally renowned young master and his companions were playing billiards downstairs. Xia Lin, leading Lu Xiangfei down, introduced, "This is my classmate Lu Xiangfei. He's a gaming master. Let's play a few games."
The nationally renowned young master looked at Lu Xiangfei and smiled, "Really?"
"Don't listen to Xia Lin talking nonsense. How could I compare to you, Young Master Wang? You're a professional player with a 100% win rate," Lu Xiangfei said.
Lu Xiangfei enjoyed games and naturally knew about the nationally renowned young master's glorious moments, adding a compliment.
