Chapter 1172: Repeated Defeats

In a coastal city, Peng Cheng just received a call from Zhang Xiaobai and was really excited.

In his career as a teacher, there are indeed many promising disciples, some of whom are already well-known businessmen, and some are executives of large companies.

But Peng Cheng pays the most attention to only two people, one is Lu Xiaoqiang, who has been defeated repeatedly, and the other is Zhang Xiaobai, who is down-to-earth and hardworking.

The former has been jumping around for so many years, and it can be said that he has not made any achievements, but Peng Cheng always believes that this one of his most beloved disciples in the past will one day be successful.

As for the latter, Peng Cheng is very pleased and does not have to worry about it at all. Teacher Peng Cheng has asked himself about everything Zhang Xiaobai has done. Even he may not do better than Zhang Xiaobai.

After drinking a glass of wolfberry water in the office, Peng Cheng called Lu Xiaoqiang.

"Where are you?"

"Master, you finally remembered me, where else can I be? Right next to you!" Lu Xiaoqiang said flatteringly on the other end of the phone.

"Come to my company, I have something to talk to you about!" Peng Cheng said impatiently.

"Okay, I'll be there right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Peng Cheng sighed. This unreliable Lu Xiaoqiang is still very unreliable.

An hour later, Lu Xiaoqiang pushed the door open, just like before, he never knocked when he entered the office.

Lu Xiaoqiang was not polite at all, just like he was at home, sat directly on the sofa, and lit a cigarette.

Peng Cheng frowned and said, "How long have we not seen each other?"

Lu Xiaoqiang stretched out two fingers and said, "It's been two years, Master, you really forgot me!"

It's not that Peng Cheng didn't want to see him, but he wanted to teach him a lesson and not wipe his ass every time.

Peng Cheng poured water into the cup, took a sip, and said, "Constrain your cynical attitude, I want to talk to you about business today!"

Hearing this, Lu Xiaoqiang put out the cigarette, sat up straight, just like in his student days, ready for class.

"Teacher, if you have something to say, please tell me. I'm listening!"

Peng Cheng said, "How do I treat you?"

Lv Xiaoqiang said, "You are like a father to me, both before and now!"

Peng Cheng asked, "Do you know who I admire most among all the students?"

Lv Xiaoqiang thought about it and smiled, "One is definitely me, and the other, I guess it's Zhang Xiaobai!"

Peng Cheng snorted coldly and said, "You are not stupid!"

Lv Xiaoqiang grinned, "Of course not stupid, if I am stupid, wouldn't it be a waste of the teacher's hard work?"

Peng Cheng said seriously, "Xiaoqiang, don't smile at me, I don't have the time and energy to make trouble with you. I really value you and Xiaobai the most, but you... have already failed me!"

Lv Xiaoqiang lowered his head slightly, ready to be scolded.

Peng Cheng continued, "Look at you, you have been in society for almost ten years, what have you done?"

Lv Xiaoqiang still lowered his head, not daring to say anything.

Over the years, the two have been in the same city, and Peng Cheng knows everything Lu Xiaoqiang has done.

After leaving Los Angeles, the first thing Lv Xiaoqiang did was to open an Internet cafe, seeing the needs of the development of the times, but everyone else was making money, but he was not, and finally lost all the money he got from Sanxiaojie.

Then he borrowed money to do other projects, just like the Internet cafe, and even though he caught up with the Internet bonus era, he still didn't make any money.

In the end, he owed a lot of debts.

After such a failure as a boss, Lv Xiaoqiang started working as a worker, and finally made some name for himself with his eloquence.

But he was very ambitious and was not willing to be a worker at all. He started to mess around again, and then just like before, he lost money no matter what he did.

After falling to this point, Lv Xiaoqiang quit his job, couldn't start the project, and started to live in a daze again.

Peng Cheng was angry at him for not fighting, but didn't say anything more. He had taught him everything he should have taught in college, and the rest could only be learned in this social university.

But Peng Cheng paid back all the money Lv Xiaoqiang owed for his business.

Lv Xiaoqiang sighed and said, "Teacher, after so many years, I believe in fate. Maybe my good luck has not come yet."

Peng Cheng said, "Have you never reflected on yourself?"

Lv Xiaoqiang said, "Yes, I reflect on myself every time, but I still make the mistakes I should make. I don't know why. Maybe what you said about me is true. My execution is really poor."

When he was in school, Peng Cheng commented on Lv Xiaoqiang. He is a man of ideas, and every idea is correct, but his execution is too poor. For the same project, some people make money, but he loses money.

Peng Cheng said, "Xiaobai, come over in the evening, let's have a good chat. I hope you can learn something from him."

Lv Xiaoqiang frowned and said, "Why is he here?"

When mentioning Zhang Xiaobai, Lv Xiaoqiang instinctively resisted. First, because he suffered a loss in school, and second, he didn't want to see him in front of the teacher because he would make comparisons unconsciously.

Lv Xiaoqiang knew Zhang Xiaobai's past. Once compared, he would only be abused.

Peng Cheng said, "I don't know either. He just called me and he's on his way this way. Xiaoqiang, I hope you two can resolve that knot. If not be friends, at least don't be enemies."

"In addition, I said at that time that you two should not be enemies, but partners. Your brain and strategy, plus his management and execution ability, will definitely achieve great things."

Lv Xiaoqiang thought about it and smiled: "Speaking of which, I really have a bold idea, but no one is investing in me now. If Zhang Xiaobai can do it, he will definitely make a lot of money."

Peng Cheng said: "I am just responsible for matchmaking. As for whether it can be negotiated, it depends on you two!"

Peng Cheng suddenly paused and said: "Book a hotel, you treat this meal!"

Lv Xiaoqiang wanted to defend himself, but he didn't say it in the end.

Peng Cheng smiled and said: "If you are not convinced, with your current status, you can only hold it in, because you can't compare with Xiaobai for the time being!"

Lv Xiaoqiang glared at Peng Cheng unhappily, and then obediently took out his mobile phone to book a hotel.

After Lu Xiaoqiang left, Peng Cheng leaned on the sofa, drank a sip of wolfberry water, and stared out the window in a daze.

The shadow of Lu Xiaoqiang was in his mind.

He has failed, and he has failed many times, but each time he has not been defeated. No matter what he does, even if he fails again, he has not given up the pursuit of his ideal.

This is good.

At this time, the phone suddenly rang.

Peng Cheng looked at the number, and after answering it, he smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, what can I do for you?"

Mr. Liu on the other side is really a big shot. It is no exaggeration to say that he is an Internet tycoon.

"Mr. Peng, how are you thinking about it?"

For half a year, Mr. Liu has been throwing an olive branch to Peng Cheng, trying to win him over.

But Peng Cheng has not given any clear answer. Just a few days ago, he started to persuade him again.

Peng Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Boss Liu, I advise you not to waste your time. Although I am not a good person, I know how to be loyal. I will never forget the chairman's kindness to me."

The other party smiled and said, "Boss Peng, look at what you are thinking about. I am not asking you to choose to betray, but to consider whether it can be a win-win situation."

Peng Cheng laughed and said, "Win-win situation? I also want to, but it is too difficult. Boss Liu, for now, let's give up the win-win mentality."

Boss Liu was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, then let's not talk about work."

Peng Cheng gradually stopped smiling and said, "Although I can't help Boss Liu, I can introduce someone to you."

Boss Liu asked, "Who?"

Peng Cheng thought for a while and said, "A capable person, a god, his ability will only be higher than mine."

Boss Liu smiled and said, "Okay, give me a chance to meet him."
