Chapter 278 Long time no see
After chatting with Wu Xiangjun for a while, her "little mother" who was not as old as her, the topic quickly turned to some gossip in the company.
Wu Xiangjun has now been transferred to Xinghai Investment Company and has not worked in the group company. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that you often hear many gossips within the group.
For example, who is in nepotism;
Which executive who Guan Qiu had never heard of a name had an extramarital affair and was caught on the spot by his fierce wife.
Or which technician will jump to a competitor company, make a mess with its subsidiaries under Tianxiu Group, etc.
For Guan Qiu, these things are just a joke.
After dinner, the storm outside the window turned into drizzle. When I saw the time, it was just past 7 o'clock. When I was bored, Guan Qiu suggested walking on the commercial street.
After Wu Xiangjun rang the bell and notified the security to prepare, Guan Qiu here had already changed his clothes.
"Let's go~"
Wu Xiangjun grabbed a Chanel paper bag in his right hand and followed Guan Qiu out of the room.
When they were about to reach the elevator entrance, a female secretary with a bunny head walked over quickly with her mobile phone, said "Boss, Smith's phone number", and handed the phone to Guan Qiu's hand, then took a step back, folded her hands on her chest and followed Guan Qiu to the next door.
Under the orange corridor lights, the female secretary's whole movements were flowing and her attitude was respectful and natural, including five bodyguards who were in the shape of a font around Guan Qiu, as well as two other men and one woman and three assistants, who had no strange expressions about this.
Seeing this, Wu Xiangjun, who was one step behind, suddenly felt a little dazed.
I don’t know when it started, but I felt that this little man became more and more imposing and more powerful, and the people he came into contact with increased value, and he was basically the leader of the political and economic industry.
Now, whether it is Fang Xiu, she, or any other woman who is close to him, they pay great attention to image issues. They do not want anyone to use private life as an excuse to attack Guan Qiu.
"He has grown up!" Wu Xiangjun muttered, looking at Guan Qiu's back holding the phone, a silent smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
...
The autumn rain is like smoke and fog, silently floating on the colorful umbrellas and awnings on the Lujiazui Commercial Street, wet the ground, the houses, the trees, and even the neon lights have a hazy smell.
Next to the counter in a clothing store with English light box billboards on, a girl wearing a black baseball cap and denim overalls was watching attentively holding a fashion magazine in her hand.
At this moment, a man in his thirties who was buying clothes with his female companion accidentally saw the side face of the girl with overalls, and his eyes lit up instantly.
Yu Guang, a man in the suit, swept his left and right, and made sure no one noticed him. He reached out and quickly wiped the Sanqi development model, then pinched the collar of the pink shirt, moved his footsteps toward the girl in the overalls.
"Miss, you also like Donna Karen. She is also one of the few American fashion designers I like. Her design philosophy is mainly in modern cities..." The man in suit talked endlessly.
The girl with her head down overalls didn't look at the man in the suit, and said without any emotion in her tone: "Get out!"
The man in the suit smiled and said, "Uh... Don't get me wrong, Miss..."
Before the man in the suit finished speaking, the girl in the overalls put the magazine on the bookshelf for customers to read. She turned her head and stared at the man in the suit for two seconds, then interrupted with a blank expression: "I asked you to get out, didn't you hear it?"
Looking at the burning gaze of the girl in overalls, the man in the suit still failed and touched his nose and walked away with a dry smile.
Just then, a young man in a white T-shirt and jeans walked towards the girl in overalls.
The man in the suit who returned to the side of the female companion happened to see this scene. His eyes greedily swept the delicate and elegant face of the girl in the overalls twice, and he began to fantasize about the scene of the young man leaving in disgrace.
However, what unexpectedly happened to the man in the suit was that after seeing the young man's appearance clearly, the girl's face was full of surprise and disbelief.
The man in the suit also noticed the handsome appearance and tall figure of the young man. He was immediately depressed and secretly scolded the girl with overalls for being superficial and unable to see her interesting soul.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
"Well, long time no see."
After saying this, the two of them looked at each other speechlessly and turned to the hazy street outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
After a long silence, Guan Qiu finally broke the silence: "When did you come back?"
Compared to a few years ago, Ren Yingying, who has lost weight and looks more mature, stirred her hands unconsciously for a few times, pursed her pink lips and said, "It's been a month since she's back."
Guan Qiu asked: "Do you have any plans?"
Ren Yingying said: "I don't know for the time being, maybe I will go to Tianxiu to work."
"Okay, very welcome~" Guan Qiu smiled and asked, "How is she... now?"
Ren Yingying hesitated for a moment and said, "After Dianping sold it to Tianxiu, she returned to Lucheng for half a year to recuperate. She is now practicing in Huayan Temple in Zhejiang Province, and she always has a Qinglantern and Ancient Buddha for the rest of her life."
Guan Qiu nodded.
Due to the collapse of the Shen family, the Cao family also became a burial object. The commercial hyenas joined forces with political forces to swallow up the industries developed by the Cao family over the past decades.
If Cao Shaoli had not suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and died, someone above would not be able to see it and helped him say a few words. The descendants of the Cao family might have to beg for food on the main road now.
However, Cao Zijin's decision was beyond his expectations. I wonder what she had experienced, but she had actually come to this point now?
Before Guan Qiu could continue his imagination, Ren Yingying said goodbye and said, "I'll leave first, and I'll contact you if I have time."
"Okay!" Guan Qiu responded, and then followed Ren Yingying out of the clothing store.
Watching Ren Yingying disappear from the corner of the street, Guan Qiu walked in another direction.
Wu Xiangjun followed and teased, "Why don't you chat for a while when you meet old lovers?"
"What are you talking about? Flirting?"
"Yes! ~ Anyway, there is a fast hotel in front of you, with a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and a fireworks, isn't that just right?"
Guan Qiu's laughter came from the street at night, "Why do I listen? You seem to be jealous..."
...
...
After returning to China, Guan Qiu was busy every day, either attending this event, attending that ceremony, or going to various branches of the group to inspect, without any moment of leisure.
It was not until September 9, the day before Teacher's Day that Guan Qiu took time to go back to Lucheng.
His mother Gao Huiyun still lives in Dongkang Garden on Haichuan Road and is still teaching English at Experimental No. 2 Primary School.
Although he has been a flying person in the air and his sister Guan Youyou stays in the Shanghai market most of the time, his mother is not alone, because except for Fang Xiu, her daughter-in-law, Yan Li and Jin Rong, they all live in Dongkang Garden, and they run home when they have nothing to do, which is very lively.
Guan Qiu stayed at home for more than half a month. In addition to remotely handling some company affairs every day, he worked hard to make a villain with Fang Xiu.
On the 21st, Wu Crookedzi's son held a full moon banquet and invited Guan Qiu to go together.
Guan Qiu was idle, so he took Fang Xiu to have a drink together.
The banquet was held in an ordinary restaurant on Lianhua Road. There were not many, only 6 tables. Anyway, they were all relatives and friends, so naturally there was no need to show off.
As Wu Xiangjun said, her mute mother is quite beautiful.
However, judging from her eyebrows and facial contour, this girl is not as obedient as she shows, and she may suffer from Wu Crook in the future.
"Come on, come on, everyone toast..."
"cheers!"
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, the atmosphere on the scene quickly became lively. Those who ate vegetables and chatted, and at this time there was no consciousness of not smoking in public places, and the hall soon became smoky.
"Business is becoming increasingly difficult now, and I pay the rent for the little money I earn."
"Who said no, I'm also considering changing careers recently."
"You can't say that, it's mainly because you don't understand the situation of the country. In the 1980s, you can make a fortune by doing anything. For example, reselling, entering a batch of TVs from Yangcheng to places with material scarcity in the mainland or the northwest, and you will definitely be snatched away. That's not a business, it's just withdrawing money."
"Yes, this society is just brave and timid...."
Listening to the people talking at the dinner table, Guan Qiu smiled and said, "You are looking at the society 20 years ago from the perspective of today's society. If you have understood the society at that time, I believe you would not say such words.
Resources are always in the hands of a few people, and it has nothing to do with whether you are flexible in your mind or whether you can smell business opportunities. Even if you figured out how to make money at that time and all kinds of rules and regulations restrict you, you can only watch your way to get rich by others.
Because you have no background and no privileges.”
Guan Qiu picked up chopsticks and roasted pigeons and put them in Fang Xiu's bowl, and said, "Most people who can make money and have many ideas are in a position beyond the reach of ordinary people. They are more likely to obtain information. Most people can only see the results of their behavior, that is, when others make a lot of money, you feel a little ignorant. Oh, it turns out that you can make money in this way.
Because you cannot take advantage of information asymmetry, simply put, you have no background and you have no privileges.
Just like in some places where people have information and relationships, they have built houses and factories on the demolition site long before the project planning, and they will receive high compensation when the demolition is underway.
Where do ordinary people know?
Even if you know, what can you do? Who do you want to allow it?
In just two days I will take it as an illegal building for you.”
The person at the dinner table was so much that Guan Qiu said that he forgot to eat, and he stared at him with his eyes.
"Come on, drink." Guan Qiu picked up the cup and drank it all, sighed with wine, "Don't complain about why you didn't make a fortune like that. Maybe he was in contact with you, but you didn't.
Chapter completed!
