Chapter 758 - 758 26 We Have Reached the Summit

758: Chapter 26 We Have Reached the Summit 758: Chapter 26 We Have Reached the Summit In the apartment, a man leaned against the partition wall that separated the balcony from the living room, smoking a cigarette.

To his left, a flowerpot housed some unidentifiable green plant that was withering, looking rather sorry for itself, which was normal considering the soil was stuffed with cigarette butts.

Hmm, it suggested that the usual inhabitant of this place was under no small amount of stress.

CEO Cheng leaned there, even able to picture Lisa in days past, just like himself, leaning on the wall, looking down at her phone while smoking.

One after another, then nonchalantly pushing the cigarette butts into the dirt of the flowerpot.

But why?

“Ha, how does this look on me?

I had it tailored last time I was on a business trip to France, but I’ve had no chance to wear it.”

Lisa was wrapped in a khaki waist-cinched dress, twirling with a laugh.

Khaki, for the average girl, might seem light-stealing, making them appear duller.

But Lisa was naturally so radiant that, against the slightly darker hue of the dress, her fairness stood out even more.

They complemented each other well, but CEO Cheng wasn’t satisfied.

“Too low-profile, don’t you think?”

Huh?

The blonde-haired white girl looked at CEO Cheng in surprise.

“Why are you looking at me, CEO Lisa?”

“Nothing, I have several other dresses that I can’t bear to wear out, um, they’re not appropriate for most occasions.”

CEO Lisa responded as such.

“Coincidentally, today’s occasion is indeed out of the ordinary, haha.”

The female office worker tilted her head to look at Cheng Daqi, her eyes filled with a probing curiosity.

“Let’s go get you some nice clothes first; I’m planning to introduce you to quite a few people today, to give them a little charm shock.”

The red Marsha, CEO Cheng driving, with the girl in the red dress in the passenger seat.

“So, is your cryptocurrency business booming now?”

The blonde-haired white girl was hastily touching up her makeup in the mirror as she asked.

She knew CEO Cheng and Mi’er had investments in cryptocurrency, but BEC’s ICO seemed especially important to Cheng Daqi, which was a bit out of the ordinary.

“Pretty much, Mi’er and I have an idea to integrate companies such as mas, oc, and West State Logistics into one management company, to form a group company—with business units and subsidiaries model.

After thinking it over, I hope you could take on the role of General Manager of the new group.

What do you think, interested in trying out this challenge?”

The blonde-haired white girl was somewhat taken aback by CEO Cheng’s suggestion, so much so that her lipstick strayed beyond the corner of her lips.

There were just too many puzzling points for her.

“West State Logistics?

That doesn’t seem like one of your industries, right?”

CEO Cheng was amused by Lisa with the smeared lipstick, finding the girl looking like a pretty dimwit rather amusing.

“Hahaha, we could consider it an adult gift from Achilles to Mi’er, along with a few other companies, though they are not that significant in scale.”

Upon hearing this explanation, the blonde-haired white girl pursed her lips in a meaningful way, asking,

“So, Chan, when are you and her planning to get engaged?”

CEO Cheng was so startled that he slammed the accelerator, causing Lisa to draw another big swipe of lipstick across the other corner of her mouth.

“You better not be doing that on purpose!”

Lisa snapped at CEO Cheng angrily and started rubbing off her lipstick, puffing out her cheeks.

“Of course not, Mi’er and I don’t have any engagement plans.

Setting up a group company is just for better managing our various industries, that’s all.”

Lisa felt like CEO Cheng was almost insulting her intelligence.

“You say you won Saint Rodu, I don’t care, let’s just assume it’s true.

You say Achilles gave her a company, I get it, her family is rich after all.

But, Chan, how do you plan to divide the shares after the group merger?

I remember it was you who lured me away from oc.

If after all is said and done, it turns out I end up working for Mi’er, and you work for her too,

Ha, now that would be interesting.”

Clutching the steering wheel, CEO Cheng skillfully adjusted the throttle in response to the traffic, smiling and nodding in agreement with Lisa’s words.

He was thinking about what exactly the girl was trying to communicate.

“Also, Chan, your business is obviously thriving, and the future of OC might not even compare to MAS, but…

never mind, you’re the boss.”

CEO Cheng finally understood; Lisa didn’t really want to work under Mi’er.

The reason why, he couldn’t quite fathom, but it wasn’t important.

“Different industries exhibit different dynamics at various stages.

Lisa, the perfume industry will never disappear, it’s a latent necessity for humans.”

Lisa put away her mirror and looked at Cheng Daqi, retorting,

“Why do I feel like pacifiers to bide time are the real necessity?”

Cheng Daqi teased,

“Oh, so CEO Lisa now understands the short video model?”

“This world isn’t so wonderful; people have to start moving as soon as they open their eyes.

Short videos can give them a moment to breathe, but short videos are just a form.

Content creation is the core, it was newspapers previously, then television, and now it has gradually shifted to short videos, Chan, this is the real necessity.”

CEO Cheng nodded; Lisa, having been responsible for MAS for so long, had indeed gained a new level of understanding regarding short videos.

“Perfume is also a necessity, humans are social animals.

In the interactions between people, perfume is like a special business card.

When the economy is good, its demand is high, because people’s social activities become more complex.

When the economy is bad, its demand doesn’t collapse either, as many unemployed women may be compelled to engage in that ancient trade.

You see, OC is actually more stable long-term compared to MAS, which relies on short videos as content carriers.”

Noticing that Lisa’s expression wasn’t quite okay, CEO Cheng said with a wry smile,
