419: Chapter 54 Sun Dongxin Summons a Meteorite 419: Chapter 54 Sun Dongxin Summons a Meteorite What is badass?

What counts as badass?

There are many pretentious words for it, like having significant clout, being a pillar of the community, standing out from the crowd, possessing brilliant talents, having the capability to swallow mountains and rivers, and so on.

But in the end, it’s just an abstract feeling, much like how ‘elegance’ is hard to describe.

CEO Cheng’s answer was to lay the groundwork from the sidelines, a continuous, dense, and collective effort to pave the way from the sidelines.

And when all the groundwork reached a climax, CEO Cheng even designed a scenario where ‘Sun Dongxin was late and stood up the meeting’—defying expectations to lower audience morale.

This feeling, when the climax of an eagerly anticipated event suddenly doesn’t materialize, is extremely effective in provoking the audience’s rebellious psychology.

Thus, before Sun Dongxin appeared, many bullet comments started mocking CEO Cheng for being meticulous but ending up stood up.

Did they think they were criticizing CEO Cheng?

NO!

They had simply stepped into the script CEO Cheng had prepared!

Tonight’s live stream was designed from the start to revolve around how to play with the audience’s emotions.

And now, as CEO Cheng and Yang Yuan argued over the ‘family members,’ the slightly deflated mood of the audience was ignited by the promise of a 200,000 yuan giveaway.

When Sun Dongxin, the big shot everyone was waiting for, did finally show up, his arrival was the first response to the anticipation—the audience had waited so long and finally saw him.

A less clever novelist or director often struggles to connect to the next plot after an emotional climax, but CEO Cheng’s life has nothing to do with those clumsy designs!

Is the sense of anticipation over?

Are you going to leave my live stream?

What?

You don’t want the 200,000 yuan anymore?

Sure, 200,000 isn’t a lot, and you can’t even buy a bathroom in Beijing with it.

But CEO Cheng made it clear, it’s going to be split into 200 shares, giving everyone a chance, how could they bear to leave?

“President Sun, you finally arrived, please persuade CEO Cheng, he’s going to give away 200,000 to the audience!”

Upon seeing Sun Dongxin, Yang Yuan acted like a teacher who sees a parent, complaining about Cheng Daqi, the mischievous kid.

‘It’s really not proper for Cheng Daqi to be spending the investor’s money like that, he might get hung out to dry by Sun Dongxin.’

‘Damn it, why didn’t Lao Deng just die on the road, my money!’

‘Earn some karma for once, President Sun must have his reasons!’

‘That beautiful woman stood up to give Sun Dongxin her seat, so polite, Cheng Daqi seems to be intimidated by Sun Dongxin.’

Was CEO Cheng intimidated by Sun Dongxin?

Of course not!

“What’s going on?”

Sun Dongxin sat in his seat adjusting his cuffs, smiling at CEO Cheng.

He seemed not to notice the filming camera, a sign of his cool composure.

Performing in front of hundreds of thousands, President Sun played it very well.

“This…

President Sun, were you delayed on the road?” Cheng Daqi began to ‘awkwardly’ beat around the bush.

Zhao Hongjin also looked a bit worried, as if she feared her boss’s impulsive decision to give away money would upset the investors.

“Hahaha, yes, I thought you all had started already.

I didn’t expect everyone was waiting for just me.”

Sun Dongxin seemed at ease, as if everything was not scripted, his responses both clever and impressive.

I’m late, I won’t explain why, I won’t even apologize.

But you all respected me for that, I noticed.

This isn’t typical logic for speaking, but in this situation, at this moment, Sun Dongxin’s response was too aligned with what the audience expected—this is what composure befits a tycoon.

Sun Dongxin is a tycoon, so what if he’s late?

Will people dislike him for his slightly arrogant approach?

Of course not, liking or disliking someone presupposes not being too distant from them.

Normal people can’t genuinely like or dislike a certain capitalist—their likes and dislikes don’t have much impact anyway.

“President Sun, shall we start then?” Zhao Hongjin was not overthinking it; she just wanted to help CEO Cheng out of his predicament.

So, even though she hadn’t seen the script, Sister Zhao natural acting provided CEO Cheng with a godsend assist—and yet Yang Yuan got his lines stolen.

“No hurry, let’s get things clear first.

Xiao Cheng, I just heard from Xiao Yang that you plan to give money to the audience?”

Others call Cheng Daqi, CEO Cheng.

Sun Dongxin calls Cheng Daqi, Xiao Cheng.

The level of importance Sun Dongxin brings is subtly emphasized bit by bit in the live stream room.

And such an influential business magnate, also an investor in Shanhaiguan, with such an inquiry, how should Cheng Daqi respond?

Cheng Daqi does not respond!

Playing dumb and playing weak is always a useful tactic, and pretending to be foolish sometimes works wonders—just look at Liu Qiangdong and his clever foolishness.

Seeing Cheng Daqi mutely not responding, Xiao Cao inwardly lamented, ‘CEO Cheng, you’re a live stream genius!’

‘Oh no, Cheng Daqi wants to give a little bonus to the brothers, and got caught by the big boss.’

‘What’s with this Yang guy?

He was pretty good before, now he’s as low as a dog.’

‘Office politics are really complex, never can tell what’s true or false.’

‘Because Dongxin Group is so large, a culture of infighting is very prevalent.

This Old Yang is undercutting Cheng Daqi in front of President Sun, making a spectacle of him.’—Employees from Dongxin who came to support thought they had seen through it all.

No matter what the audience thinks or feels, it doesn’t matter anymore.

What matters is, they are wholeheartedly captivated by the thrilling plot unfolding in the live stream room.

A business magnate chastising a millionaire, such a scenario, is something many people might never see in their lifetime.

And in CEO Cheng’s live stream, there are girls, giveaways, and Cheng Daqi getting a dressing-down.
