Chapter 72 Donst Call Me Zhang Xiaolong (1/2)

”Are you —” Hao Ning asked tentatively, ”Zhang Xiaolong, the founder of WeChat?”

After shooting that question, Hao Ning fiercely shook his head and denied the possibility. When this person came in, Hao Ning felt that he looked very similar to the photos of Zhang Xiaolong in the reports that he had read online, but he did not think much of it. Until this person introduced him to have produced some communication products and said that his surname was Zhang, Hao Ning could not help but ask if this person was Zhang Xiaolong.

What kind of status does the founder of WeChat have? The people outside of the industry might not know about it, but the people within the industry had very high opinions of this person. This person was rarely seen, but there would still be some reports of him on the internet, which was why Hao Ning felt that he looks so familiar.

However, when he thought about it carefully, it was impossible. None of them had ever known Zhang Xiaolong. Furthermore, with Zhang Xiaolong's current status, it was difficult for them to meet him even if they wanted to do so. Besides, how could such a prominent figure of the Internet come over in person? Moreover, even to such an unknown place. Zhou Yuan treating Hao Ning and Liu Shuai to a meal was told in private. Other than the three of them, no one else would know about it. However, then again, who exactly was this homely and extremely mysterious person?

However, when the man heard Hao Ning's words, he smiled modestly, nodded his head, and shook it, ”I dare not be the founder of WeChat.”

Not to mention Hao Ning, even Liu Shuai, and Zhou Yuan were surprised. To be able to say ”I dare not to be,” wasn't that equivalent to admitting his identity? Hao Ning was extremely suspicious in his heart. He looked at Liu Shuai and Zhou Yuan, while the two had expressions that said ”I have no clue,” so he was aware that the other two didn't know what was going on either. For a moment, the three of them didn't know what to say. The private room was so quiet that only the voices of the customers outside could be heard.

”Sir, you have already paid through WeChat.” The waiter did not know who Zhang Xiaolong was, nor did he know what the founder of WeChat was. Seeing these people kept saying ”founder of WeChat,” he mistakenly thought that they wanted to pay through WeChat, so he reminded them with a smile.

It was no wonder that the waiter didn't know about him. Although ordinary people use Internet products a lot, especially WeChat or Alipay; not many of them cared about who made those products, as people outside the industry almost didn't know about them. Since Hao Ning, Liu Shuai, and Zhou Yuan worked in this industry, they knew about Zhang Xiaolong as the soul of WeChat.

”Ha-ha-ha,”The waiter's unintentionally interruption made the surprised and nervous atmosphere relaxed. The man was stunned for a moment, but then he realized that the waiter had misunderstood him. He laughed and said to the waiter, ”Could you please let us talk in private for a while?”

The waiter immediately replied professionally, ”Sure.” Just as he was about to close the door, a young man walked in and stopped the waiter's hand. After the waiter went out, he said to the man, ”Mr. Zhang, here …”

The man said politely to the young man, ”Don't worry, Jienan. I'll have a chat with these guys. You can take a stroll outside or have some fun with your friends.”

”I'm OK. I'll wait for you outside.” The man called Jienan nodded and walked out straightly. Hao Ning could not help but take a few more glances at the man. He was tall, with determined eyes, and looked very energetic.

After Jienan left, there were only four people left in the room. Liu Shuai, Hao Ning, and Zhou Yuan all had their thoughts. They stared at the man without speaking, while the man felt awkward and immediately said, ”My name is Zhang. How may I address the three of you?”

Hao Ning could not help but say, ”Are you the Zhang Xiao — —”
