Really give it a try

  Really want to give it a try?

  After a long conversation with Old Mo, it ended with Old Mo deciding to return to Jianghu.

  The room was arranged by Zhang Datong for Mo Lao to take a temporary rest. After the conversation, Wang Zhengyu personally escorted Mo Lao and Mo Xiaoyao out of the hotel. Outside the hotel, a special car had been waiting for them.

  Watching Mo Lao and Mo Xiao Yao leave, Wang Zhengyu couldn't help but smile wryly. The outcome of this conversation was absolutely beyond his expectations. And Mo Lao's final decision left him wondering what kind of impression he had left on Mo Lao's mind.

  He was thinking of getting some hints from Mo Xiaoyao. Unfortunately, Mo Xiaoyao, who was extremely well-behaved in front of Old Man Mo, didn't even notice his gaze.

  Fortunately, Old Mo had always been very kind to him, and when they left the hotel, he didn't even refuse his overly enthusiastic support, which kept Wang Zhengyu from thinking too much into it.

  Watching the car carrying Mo Lao and the girl in his heart disappear at the corner of the road, Wang Zhengyu finally withdrew his thoughts and turned to walk into the hotel, preparing to return to his room and reunite with Huo Guangbo.

  With this guy's temperament, if he didn't know he was talking to a senior, he would have been making one phone call after another to urge himself on. However, even without the phone calls, once they meet in person, there will still be no lack of cold ridicule and hot sarcasm.

  But just as Wang Zhengyu reached the elevator entrance, his phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.

  Wang Zhengyu casually answered the phone, and a steady voice came through.

  "Hello Mr. Wang, I am Xu Yihong, I have arrived in Beijing. If it's convenient for you, I can send a car to pick you up and discuss the contract at our office."

  ……

  Mo Lao sat in the car, looking at Mo Xiaoyao who kept looking out the window, and suddenly joked: "Xiaoyao, stop looking, we've gone so far, you can't see anything even if you look!"

  "What did you say?" Mo Xiao Yao withdrew her gaze, pouting at Old Man Mo as she coquettishly said: "I wasn't looking at him, I was just admiring the scenery outside the window. Besides, what's there to look at him for? He's not good-looking and is stupid to death!"

  Mo Lao smiled and continued to tease: "I didn't say you were looking at anyone, why are you explaining so much? This doesn't seem like your usual personality at all?"

  "Grandpa! You're still saying that, I won't talk to you anymore!" Mo Xiaoyao was so anxious that her entire small face turned red and she grabbed Mo Lao's arm, shaking it back and forth.

  "Alright, alright! Stop shaking, you're going to shake this old man's bones loose!" Old Mo laughed and pleaded, when Mo Xiaoyao calmed down, Old Mo continued: "Alright, girl, don't be embarrassed, do you really think Grandpa is so old that his eyes are blurry and can't see anything?"

  "What did you see?" Mo Xiaoyao asked in a low voice.

  Mo Lao didn't smile, and instead of directly answering Mo Xiao Yao's question, he started talking to himself: "At noon, I had lunch with Old Zhang and the others. They were still giving me a hard time, saying that Little Wang was quite polite, but someone else was quite arrogant. It seemed like they were deeply afraid that their little brother would unintentionally offend me in his words."

  He said, "But when you brought him in, I saw how tense he was and didn't see any arrogance. I was wondering if this kid had changed his temper? But later when he talked to me for a couple of sentences, he couldn't help but glance at your appearance, which is almost the same as when your uncle first came to propose marriage! Haha, I think this young man is willing to chat with an old man like me for half a day, probably because he's looking at our family's Yiyao's face!"

  After listening to her grandfather's teasing remarks, Mo Xiaoyao's face turned red with embarrassment and she said: "Grandfather, I'm just friends with him, don't talk nonsense. What do you mean by 'giving me face'? You are a master of traditional Chinese medicine, it's his good fortune that you're willing to see him, how dare he complain about your nagging?"

  "Hmph!" Old Mo sighed twice, shaking his head and saying: "Yaoyao, you really believe he said it was his grandfather who didn't want him to learn traditional Chinese medicine? It's actually because he himself is not interested in traditional Chinese medicine. Bringing up his grandfather as an excuse is just a reason he found to avoid making me unhappy. Think about it, he wasn't interested in traditional Chinese medicine from the start and had no need for me, so how could he possibly give face to this old guy who only knows a bit of traditional Chinese medicine? He even bothered to be polite and courteous to me for half the day?"

  "What? Impossible! If he's not interested, how can he know so much?" Mo Xiaoyao asked in surprise.

  Mo Lao lifted his hand and gently stroked Mo Xiaoyao's hair, explaining: "The problem lies here. If it was really his grandfather who thought he wasn't suited for studying traditional Chinese medicine, why would he teach him so much theoretical knowledge about traditional Chinese medicine? Why would he teach him the skill of pulse diagnosis? You know, teaching those purely theoretical things is extremely complicated and boring. Think back to when I was forced to learn these things by your great-grandfather with a whip."

  "Think about it, Little Wang's grandfather went to such great lengths to instill these traditional Chinese medical theories into him bit by bit. How could he not hope that this little guy would inherit his legacy and carry on the family's medical traditions? So, I reckon it's probably because this kid himself isn't interested in traditional medicine, which is why he didn't continue studying medicine in college. Sigh!"

  Old Mo let out a long sigh, apparently feeling regretful about Wang Zhengyu's choice. He then continued to analyze: "However, when it comes to other aspects, this kid seems extremely confident. I think he must have found his direction in life and maybe even achieved something remarkable, which is why he has such an attitude. This kid is not simple!"

  "What? Impossible?" Mo Xiao Yao's mouth was wide open, her face filled with skepticism as she retorted: "Grandfather, your evaluation of him is too high! From what I know, he's just an ordinary student in school, no special talents, how can he sound so impressive coming from you?"

  "Oh? Really? You really think so? Then let me ask you, did you know he had such high attainments in traditional Chinese medicine before?" Old Mo asked with a smile.

  One sentence, and Mo Xiao Yao was left speechless. Because before today, she really didn't know that Wang Zheng Yu had any accomplishments in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. No, it wasn't just her, she believed that there shouldn't be many people in the entire class who knew about this, otherwise it would have spread throughout the history department long ago.

  "Ah, then what did he achieve that's so remarkable?" Mo Xiao Yao retorted with a pout.

  "You'll just have to find out for yourself? Grandpa isn't a god, how can he figure it out? Ah, although this kid is a bit dishonest, but grandpa can see that the child's heart is still good. Yaoyao, if you also like him, then be brave and try to get along with him, otherwise someone else will snatch him away, don't come crying to grandpa later!" Old Mo said with a serious face, not looking like he was joking at all.

  "Grandpa!" Mo Xiaoyao called out in a spoiled tone, burying her head into Old Mo's chest, but her heart was growing more and more curious about Wang Zhengyu.

  "Or should I really give it a try?" The girl thought to herself, but as soon as the idea popped up, she felt so ashamed that her whole face turned hot, and she buried her little head deeper into her grandfather's chest.

  ……

  If Wang Zhengyu knew about the conversation between Mo Lao and Mo Xiaoyao in the car, he would definitely be shocked by Mo Lao's analysis of him. This old man was too accurate at reading people. Of course, no matter how hard Mo Lao tried to calculate, he couldn't have predicted the existence of Tian Shu, so although his analysis was mostly correct, it still differed from the truth by a huge margin.

  However, Wang Zhengyu didn't have time to think about what impression he had left on Mo Lao at this moment. Because he was already seated in a small conference room of Qidu Corporation's headquarters in the capital city, and sitting across from him was Xu Yihong, a renowned internet mogul of China, while not far away, there were also a group of legal consultants explaining to Huo Guangbo a contract draft that had just been prepared.

  "No wonder Qidian can develop into one of the largest Internet companies in Huaxia, General Xu's efficiency is really high!" Wang Zhengyu said with a smile after meeting with Old Man Mo this morning.

  After being tempered by Old Mo, Wang Zhengyu felt that he could calm down no matter who he faced. Even if the elegant man sitting opposite him was his former idol, who could make the Chinese internet tremble with just a tap of his foot, and was also about to pay him over 200 million yuan, it didn't put any pressure on Wang Zhengyu, making him seem unaffected.

  Xu Yanzhong nodded secretly in his heart, and had to say that Wang Zhengyu's calm performance, which was completely inconsistent with his age, made Xu Yanzhong's eyes shine brighter, and he added a few more points of confidence in his own bet.

  Although 200 million is a small amount for giant companies like Qihoo, in business terms, which merchant would want their investment to be wasted? Although judging from the technical level of Wang Zhengyu's software, this investment will not lose money, but who doesn't want their partner to be reliable?

  "It's not that I'm efficient, it's just that Wang Lao Di's skills are high! To be honest with you, the people in our Qihoo Technology Department now all idolize Wang Lao Di! If I hadn't stopped them, our technical director would have even come to ask Wang Lao Di some technical questions!" said Zhou Hongyi, playing along with Wang Zhengyu's words.

  Wang Zhengyu's face turned red with sweat, and Xu Yihong had already stopped his technical director. The heavenly book hadn't even had time to impart its so-called programming knowledge to him, yet he came to ask for technical guidance, which was absolutely asking the blind for directions.

  "Director Xu, to be honest with you, this APP wasn't developed by me alone. In fact, I'm not even a developer, I just made some suggestions and ideas, and then a group of bored hacker friends who play with computers every day came up with it!" Wang Zhengyu said, following the previous discussion with Huo Guangbo.
