Forcing Me to Be a Godly Tycoon, Right?

Chapter 1516: Chapter 571: Successfully Spending the Night at Her House! (Bonus Chapter)

"Tomorrow, I’ll first talk with their Mr. Zhang. If the discussion doesn’t go well, I’ll ask for your help next."

Xu Donghai nodded first, "Alright."

He then couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity, "Isn’t Dongsheng Group’s main focus real estate? Why did you suddenly think of acquiring internet projects?"

Zhang Jingdong could tell Xu Donghai was purely curious, so he said, "If someone else asked me, I would say that real estate is indeed the main focus of our company."

"But since you’re asking, I’ll be honest with you; actually, real estate is just a minor direction for our company in the future. The core of our group’s future focus will be internet projects."

"Oh? Is that so?" Xu Donghai immediately continued, "But in recent years, our domestic internet companies have just gone through a bubble and a winter. Do you think the internet has a future?"

Zhang Jingdong nodded heavily, "I think the internet not only has a future, but a very broad future."

"A few years ago, major internet companies indeed went through huge setbacks, but since the second half of last year, the domestic internet market has actually stepped onto a brand new path."

"There’s a saying, ’From death comes life.’ In my view, our domestic internet companies have gone through such great setbacks over the past two years and have still made a comeback, which proves that the path of the internet itself is sound."

"Moreover, in these few months, I’ve proven through several operations that the internet direction chosen by our company is viable. Therefore, I’ll continue to increase our investments in this area, acquiring various internet projects to strive for growth and strength."

Xu Donghai looked at Zhang Jingdong with his confident yet composed manner, his eyes quietly flashing a hint of appreciation like thinking, "This young man reminds me of myself."

"Indeed, the waves of the Yangtze River push the waves before them, each generation surpassing the last. Boss Zhang, although I haven’t studied the internet business extensively, I’ve been in business for many years and have quite an eye for people."

"I think you not only have a good character but are also very confident and have your own ideas. I believe you will achieve even greater success in the future!"

Turning to look at Xu Nuo, he said, "Nuonuo, I think Boss Zhang is a friend worth having. In the future, you should learn a lot from Boss Zhang!"

Xu Nuo had been impressed by Zhang Jingdong once more while he was chatting with her dad, as she hadn’t seen her dad have such an engaging conversation with someone in a long time.

And she could tell that her dad genuinely admired Zhang Jingdong.

So upon hearing this, she immediately felt sincerely and somewhat shyly nodded, "...Mm."

Seeing his daughter like this, Xu Donghai suddenly admired Zhang Jingdong differently.

Because this was the first time he’d seen his daughter so impressed with a young man.

He had previously taken Xu Nuo to various events and, intentionally or unintentionally, introduced her to many talented peers, but she’d never had this attitude toward any guy.

He even experienced for the first time a feeling of "you can’t keep a grown daughter at home."

Then Xu Donghai chatted with Zhang Jingdong for over another half hour.

At this point, he glanced at the time, exchanged a silent look with Chen Yuping, and then said, "It’s getting late. How about this, Boss Zhang, you three continue the conversation, we’ll go up and rest."

Zhang Jingdong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Alright, goodnight."

Xu Donghai turned to Xu Nuo, "Take care of Boss Zhang."

Noticing the encouragement in her dad’s eyes, Xu Nuo, who was already a bit shy, blushed completely, "...Mm."

Watching her parents go upstairs, Xu Nuo then said to Zhang Jingdong, "Shall we go upstairs?"

Zhang Jingdong’s heart stirred, "Sure."

So they went back to the third floor.

Xu Nuo then pointed out a room to Zhang Jingdong, "You can stay here tonight."

Zhang Jingdong nodded while pretending to be somewhat worried, "I’m not staying on this whole floor by myself, am I?"

Xu Nuo pursed her lips, "What’s wrong? Are you scared?"

Zhang Jingdong replied matter-of-factly, "Of course I’m scared, this floor is so big, staying alone is scary at night!"

Xu Nuo was immediately amused, "Aren’t you supposed to be a grown man, and you’re pretty skilled too? Are you really afraid to stay here alone?"

Zhang Jingdong shrugged, "No matter how skilled I am, I’m still afraid of ghosts! If I really have to stay alone on this floor, I’d rather go to a hotel now."

"Are you serious?" Xu Nuo was somewhat amused, "Are you really scared?"

Zhang Jingdong said earnestly, "This isn’t really a matter of being afraid or not, mainly it’s because I can tell fortunes, and the reason I can tell fortunes is because I’m cultivating the Tao, and as a Tao cultivator, I believe there’s such a thing as ghosts and spirits."

"And as is widely known, if there’s only one person staying on one floor in a house, something else is sure to appear in the middle of the night."

Seeing that Zhang Jingdong didn’t seem to be joking, Xu Nuo suddenly felt a bit of small fear, "Is... this real?"

Seeing her clearly believing him, Zhang Jingdong then said, "A Tao cultivator never lies."

Xu Nuo looked deeply at Zhang Jingdong, then pursed her lips, "...Okay then, let’s not go upstairs and continue staying on this floor."

"But I have to say, you... you must follow the rules, this is my home, and if you dare to act like you did this afternoon, I... I won’t let you off."
