Chapter 265: 261. The Highly Popular Sicheng (Asking for Monthly Tickets During the Double-Point Period!)

The moment Ling Hua opened his mouth, almost all the gazes nearby focused on Sicheng, filled with curiosity, envy, and a faint trace of jealousy.

Sicheng had not expected that Ling Hua had actually come to find him, and could even call him by his name directly. Most importantly, judging by Ling Hua's tone, he seemed quite cordial, which left Sicheng feeling somewhat bewildered.

Lu Xin, who had originally been a bit disappointed, saw this scene, and her already bright eyes were now flashing with a sharp glint.

"Chairman Ling, are you calling me?" Sicheng asked, subconsciously pointing at himself. Although Ling Hua had already arrived in front of him and even called his name, Sicheng still found it hard to believe.

Ling Hua smiled and said, "Of course I'm calling you. Although this is our first time meeting, if you really trace it back, I can be considered your uncle. If you don't mind, you can call me Uncle Ling."

Once these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the venue, which had already been somewhat quiet, became silent once more. Everyone looked at Sicheng with burning eyes; at this moment, they wished they could take his place and hug Ling Hua's thigh while calling him uncle.

Wang Tao, standing to the side, saw this scene and thought to himself: Just as I suspected.

He had always been somewhat suspicious as to why the Weiteng Gaming Department had simply given up after suffering a loss; that was completely unlike their style.

Now that he thought about it, it must have been because of Ling Hua.

Sicheng, having been baptized by Prince Haiman and Taylor, was a bit stunned but quickly reacted.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to call him 'Uncle Ling', another voice came from the side, "You sure know how to take advantage."

Sicheng subconsciously turned his head to look, and upon seeing the person who had arrived, his expression immediately became excited, as if he had just seen an idol.

"Old Feng, I thought you weren't coming, you guy," Ling Hua said with a laugh upon seeing Zhao Lifeng.

Zhao Lifeng snorted and said, "Would you be happy if I didn't come?"

After retorting to Ling Hua, Zhao Lifeng shifted his gaze to Sicheng, a smile appearing on his face as he said, "Sicheng, right? You can call me Uncle Zhao!"

Once these words were spoken, the people nearby fell into a stupor again. Who exactly was this person? Why did both internet tycoons act as if they were seeing a nephew?

And judging by their conversation, it seemed to be their first time meeting?

Sicheng said with an excited expression, "Mr. Zhao, you are my idol. I am very happy to meet you."

Zhao Lifeng was indeed Sicheng's idol, or rather, the idol of many people working in the internet industry.

For the Huaxia internet to have the grand spectacle it had today, Zhao Lifeng had played a significant and colorful role.

Especially back then, when Zhao Lifeng acted like a knight-errant, forcibly pushing for internet payment services and single-handedly confronting the entire banking industry—that kind of charisma was truly fascinating!

Although his forceful push was too radical, causing him to suffer hostility and restrictions from many banks in the previous years and causing Fengli Group to miss its best period for development, the current Fengli Group was still a top-tier internet enterprise in Huaxia, especially in online shopping, where it occupied a rather important position.

Of course, Zhao Lifeng's success back then was not entirely his own doing; more of the credit actually went to the government finally choosing to acquiesce, otherwise he would absolutely not have succeeded, though most people did not know this.

It wasn't just Sicheng who was excited; many young people nearby were also very excited looking at Zhao Lifeng. Like Sicheng, they all admired this man in his fifties.

Sometimes they would think, if they had been by Zhao Lifeng's side back then, fighting alongside him, how exciting that would have been.

Ling Hua looked at Sicheng's excited appearance, his expression slightly strange. One had to know that the person in front of him was the one among them who admired Zhang Ran the most, even vaguely treating Zhang Ran as an idol.

And now, Zhang Ran's son was actually idolizing this man; it seemed a bit reversed.

However, Zhao Lifeng was very happy, patting Sicheng on the shoulder as he said, "Don't call me Mr. Zhao; that sounds too distant. Just call me Uncle Zhao directly."

"Uncle Zhao." Sicheng called out first, then looked at Ling Hua and said, "Uncle Ling."

He actually understood most of it in his heart now; this was very likely related to his own father, or rather, ninety-nine percent because of his own father.

He hadn't known these tycoons before. Although he had achieved a little success now, if one really talked about it, he probably wouldn't even have had the chance to enter the eyes of these tycoons.

Now, Sicheng was no longer surprised by his father's connections; he actually wanted to see who else his father knew.

"That's more like it. Come, let's go inside and chat. I'll introduce you to some people; come to think of it, they can all be considered your uncles," Zhao Lifeng said happily.

As he spoke, he affectionately pulled Sicheng toward the main venue, and Sicheng subconsciously followed.

Ling Hua smiled and said, "By the way, I remember the invitation I gave you was for the main venue. Why were you over here?"

"So it was Uncle Ling who helped. Thank you, Uncle Ling," Sicheng said, thanking him first, then added, "I wanted to see if there were any good investment projects here."

"Not bad, having such thoughts is good. But don't rush now; after things are finished here, you can come over and take a look," Ling Hua said.

Wang Tao, standing to the side, just followed Sicheng silently. He felt more and more that Sicheng's father had an unfathomable quality to him.

As for Lu Xin, she also followed behind Sicheng. At this moment, the look in her eyes as she watched Sicheng was filled with astonishment and a trace of unexpected surprise; of course, perhaps it was also mixed with a sense of loss she couldn't quite put into words.

After Sicheng and the others left, the crowd began to discuss the matter. This scene had indeed made many people curious, but everyone was even more curious about who exactly Sicheng was.

Why did both internet tycoons hold him in such high regard?

Sicheng followed Zhao Lifeng and the others into the main venue. He was still a bit unaccustomed to it upon entering, but very quickly, he was astonished again.

Because as Zhao Lifeng introduced him, some internet tycoons in his eyes were actually very polite to him.

Although not everyone was very enthusiastic toward him, they were basically all harboring goodwill.

This made Sicheng's mind, which had gradually been preparing itself, almost unable to bear it. What exactly did his father do back in the day?

Now he didn't believe that his father was just a demolition resident; this was completely not what a demolition resident should look like.

If it were about knowing Prince Haiman, Zhang Ran had told him about how they met at the time, and Sicheng could understand that.

Taylor was also barely acceptable, but knowing Zhao Lifeng, Ling Hua, and other tycoons—this time, Sicheng could no longer convince himself.
