Chapter 14 1. A gentleman is lustful, and he takes it in a proper way

One afternoon, Gao Mingyong walked into Zhuang Zhiqi's office with a stack of documents under his arm.After receiving the document, Zhuang Zhiqi was about to review it, when Gao Mingyong said, "Mr. Zhuang, I met Chen Jin'er in our company this morning." Zhuang Zhiqi was very impressed with the tea friend with outstanding appearance and extraordinary conversation, he raised his head and asked, "What is she doing in the company?" Gao Mingyong said: "She is going to build a high-end tea house in a skyscraper, and in the morning, she will go to the Investment Promotion Department to discuss the contract."

Zhuang Zhiqi said casually: "Jin'er has a good vision. Putting a high-end tea house in the top skyscraper in Hezhou will add a lot to both sides." Gao Mingyong nodded and said: "Yes. But according to what she said, the negotiation is not going well, and the two sides have some differences on the price." Zhuang Zhiqi let out an "oh".He began to realize that when Gao Mingyong introduced Chen Jiner to him, it was definitely not just for drinking tea. Zhuang Zhiqi remained silent, but Gao Mingyong was not reconciled.He said: "Mr. Zhuang, the teahouse run by Jin'er is indeed very high-end, and it also has a brand effect in Hezhou. I think it must be a win-win thing if the teahouse can be introduced into Weitong Building."

Zhuang Zhiqi already understood Gao Mingyong's intentions, he paused for a while, and then said in embarrassment: "I really can't get involved in this matter. Mingyong, you know, as the president, I mainly focus on the listing. The real estate business, Mr. An is in charge." Gao Mingyong shook his head and sighed: "An is always known as a cold beauty, it's hard for her to talk." Zhuang Zhiqi turned the pen in his hand: "You also know the relationship between me and Mr. An, you can't go there, and it's useless for me to go." "Why not?" Gao Mingyong said, "I asked the Investment Promotion Department to write a report, saying that Chen Jin'er's tea house is very high-grade and can attract many dignitaries from Hezhou. These people often come to Weitong Building and provide us with This will help the company's long-term development. Therefore, it is worthwhile to give an appropriate discount on the rent!"

Zhuang Zhiqi listened silently, thinking that Gao Mingyong could really get the pulse of the prospective boss!The reason he proposed was undoubtedly the reason that moved Du Linxiang the most. Seeing that Zhuang Zhiqi had no objection, Gao Mingyong took advantage of the situation and said, "When the report is up, can I trouble Mr. Zhuang to sign it? Then I will hand it over to Mr. Du. In the end, if both Mr. Du and Mr. Zhuang agree, Mr. An will naturally not I have an opinion." Gao Mingyong knew that his weight in the company was not enough, and he was even more aware of Du Linxiang's trust in Zhuang Zhiqi.With Zhuang Zhiqi's signature on the report, the probability of passing the test will undoubtedly increase greatly.

For other people, Zhuang Zhiqi would not want to meddle in other people's business, but this time it was Chen Jin'er!Help others if you can, not to mention Gao Mingyong's remarks just now are not completely unreasonable.Zhuang Zhiqi nodded: "Okay, I'll sign it then." Seeing Gao Mingyong walking out the door happily, Zhuang Zhiqi smiled wryly in his heart: Gao Mingyong is a good guy, he never does things that make him lose, he might gain something from Chen Jiner's side! After coming to Weitong for a few days, Zhuang Zhiqi found that the private enterprises, after becoming bigger, are almost like state-owned enterprises in many places.This may have nothing to do with the nature of the enterprise, it can only be called "big enterprise disease".Lin Zhengliang is in charge of engineering and construction, and those bosses who want to contract projects in Weitong will have no way if they don't manage Mr. Lin well.Gao Mingyong, the director of the office, will do things that harm the public and private interests.For example, today, when the rent is discounted, it is the enterprise that suffers.

Zhuang Zhiqi also found that Du Linxiang was completely clear about what the following people did.Du Linxiang didn't want to put an end to these phenomena at all, he just restrained everyone, not to overdo everything.As long as it's not too much, earning a little money can be regarded as a benefit from the boss. Perhaps this is Du Linxiang's brilliance after gaining insight into human nature.Who in the world is not greedy?After Gao Mingyong is driven away, the new office director will also try to make money.What's more, others may not have Gao Mingyong's ability to be gentle.

Zhuang Zhiqi was so busy with work that he gradually forgot such trivial matters.Half a month later, on the weekend, he received a call: "Mr. Zhuang, hello! I'm Chen Jin'er." Chen Jin'er's voice was very sweet, like the fragrance of tea.Zhuang Zhiqi politely replied "Hello", and Chen Jin'er said, "Are you free tonight? I would like to treat you to dinner and thank you." Zhuang Zhiqi realized that probably Gao Mingyong had settled the matter of the tea house.He smiled and said, "Don't be so polite, little things." Chen Jin'er said: "It seems that Zhuang always accepted my invitation! It's a great honor. Well, at six o'clock in the afternoon, I will drive over to pick you up."

Zhuang Zhiqi didn't intend to accept the other party's invitation at the beginning, saying "don't be so polite" was just a polite remark.Helplessly, Chen Jin'er fired like a cannonball, not giving herself a chance to refuse at all.Zhuang Zhiqi had no choice but to say, "Don't bother, I'll just drive there." Chen Jin'er insisted, "It's hard to find that place, so let me pick you up." At six o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Jin'er drove the car downstairs on time.Zhuang Zhiqi didn't go downstairs until a quarter past six and got into the car. He said apologetically, "It took a while to make dinner for the kids."

Chen Jiner didn't mind, and said with a smile: "I heard that Zhuang is always a model husband. Generally speaking, a model husband is also a model father." Since the first meeting, Chen Jiner has asked a lot about Zhuang Zhiqi.Chen Jin'er naturally knew about that love story that was widely circulated. The car drove out of the yard, Chen Jin'er took out her phone, dialed and asked the other party: "Where are you tonight?" After getting the other party's answer, Chen Jin'er said: "Cook me a meal for two according to the old rules, and it will be there in half an hour." Zhuang Zhiqi was a little puzzled, and Chen Jin'er asked where he was tonight. Could it be that the restaurant is still open?

When he got to the place, Zhuang Zhiqi realized that the so-called restaurant was just a small fishing boat, and there could only be one table on the boat.The boss usually makes a living by fishing, and the boat will sail wherever there are plenty of fish.The boss not only fishes well, but also cooks well.The fish just caught on the boat is extremely delicious after his cooking. Such restaurants usually only entertain regular customers.Zhuang Zhiqi sighed: "Jin'er is not only good at tea ceremony, but also knows the folk delicacies of Hezhou very well." The spicy and delicious fish was served on the table, and the boss also brought a bottle of white wine, and warmly introduced: "This is produced in the local wine workshop in my hometown. Many people give a thumbs up after drinking it."

Zhuang Zhiqi was worried that this kind of sorghum wine had too much alcohol content, so he said, "Is there a lady here, is there any red wine on board?" The boss looked helpless.Chen Jin'er said, "There's only one kind of wine here. It's okay, I can also drink baijiu." Picking up the wine glass, Chen Jin'er's face was full of joy: "This time about the tea house, please trouble Mr. Zhuang." After speaking, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. Zhuang Zhiqi also took a full drink.The wine was very strong, with a feeling of "cutting the throat".Seeing Chen Jin'er's nonchalant expression, Zhuang Zhiqi probably also knew how much she was drinking. The first time Chen Jin'er and Zhuang Zhiqi met in the tea house was arranged by Gao Mingyong with a very utilitarian purpose.Chen Jin'er has experienced a lot of such scenes.I don't know how many times I have seen those rich youngsters, secretive officialdom veterans, or arty hypocrisy.Only this Zhuang Zhiqi's knowledge and style of conversation truly impressed her.Later, I learned many things about Zhuang Zhiqi, and I fell in love with this talented and single-minded man.She had long wanted to see Zhuang Zhiqi again, but she couldn't find a suitable opportunity.Today, in the name of thanking the other party, I finally got what I wanted. Zhuang Zhiqi was deeply impressed by Chen Jiner's tea house, and asked: "Your tea house is called 'Tea Words and Colors'. Tea is good tea, so what does color mean?" Chen Jin'er smiled: "Sex, of course, refers to beauty. Mr. Zhuang should be able to see that all the waiters in my teahouse are beautiful." Zhuang Zhiqi said: "The most rare thing is that there is also a gorgeous female boss." To get Zhuang Zhiqi's approval, Chen Jin'er was very happy.She said: "Many people are taboo about sex, but in fact there is no need for it. Just like wine and money, how many people are not good at sex? Men are good at women, so there is a poem of "a fair lady, a gentleman is good at money", and women are also good at sex. There is a saying that 'beauties love heroes' because of being a good man. Lust is just a neutral word, just like the love of beauty, everyone has it. The key is that a gentleman is lustful, and he gets it in a proper way." From drinking to talking, Chen Jin'er is like a heroine who does not give in to men.Zhuang Zhiqi nodded and said, "It makes sense, no wonder there is talk of wine, lust and wealth." Chen Jin'er said: "Wine makes a man brave, sex makes a man strong, wealth makes a man proud, and anger makes a man powerful. Essentially speaking, neither is a bad thing, the key is to grasp it well. Therefore, more beauty in the teahouse also adds A little bit angry. But if you sell your beauty, it's too much, it's not a tea house, but a brothel." With Chen Jin'er, Zhuang Zhiqi was in a relaxed mood, and he talked freely: "I think brothels are the place where the degree is just right. People nowadays always equate brothels with brothels, but the two are not the same at all. Things. The brothels in ancient times were generally called kilns, and occasionally called red buildings. They were places where skin and meat were traded. But brothels were usually places where princes and nobles talked about their love affairs. No. Most of the women in the brothel are talented and talented, and they claim that they only sell their skills and not their bodies." Zhuang Zhiqi went on to say: "I think the brothels in ancient times are more like today's entertainment industry. The girls in the brothels are all well-known stars. The private life may be a little corrupt, and it is completely different from the prostitutes. The old bustards in the brothels are similar to brokers. The role is responsible for packaging planning. People like Li Shishi, Chen Yuanyuan, Liu Rushi, etc., should be regarded as the super movie queens of that era, or why are there so many high-ranking officials and nobles, vying to get married?" Chen Jin'er put down her chopsticks: "It turns out that a brothel and a brothel are not the same thing. This meal, I have learned a lot." The boat has sailed to the center of the river, accompanied by the river breeze, eating the most authentic seafood, I feel very comfortable.The topic of the two turned to their respective family backgrounds, Zhuang Zhiqi asked: "You have a southern accent in your Mandarin, so you probably aren't from Hezhou?" Chen Jiner replied: "Both parents are from Hezhou, and I was also born in Hezhou. I went to Hong Kong when I was nine years old, and then went to Australia to study. I only returned to Hezhou three years ago." Zhuang Zhiqi said, "Parents are in Hezhou or Hong Kong?" Chen Jin'er blinked: "My parents passed away when I was very young. My godfather was in business in Hong Kong, and I grew up with him in Hong Kong." Zhuang Zhiqi hurriedly said, "I'm sorry to bring up your sadness." Chen Jin'er said: "It's okay, let the past be the past." Hearing this, Zhuang Zhiqi was quite touched: "Yes, the past must be let go after all." Chen Jin'er knew that Zhuang Zhiqi must be thinking about his dead wife again, so she said, "I've heard many people talk about your family affairs, but nowadays men like you are really rare." Zhuang Zhiqi just let out a dry laugh.Chen Jin'er went on to say: "You are not yet forty years old, you have to find another woman by your side." Zhuang Zhiqi shook his head: "Marriage is a big event, I don't want to bother about it." Chen Jin'er smiled: "Then find a confidante." Zhuang Zhiqi said: "The standard of a confidante is higher. The so-called confidante should have a confidante but not a confidante. A confidante can still know the other. Do you think it is difficult?" Chen Jin'er smiled even more happily: "I didn't see it, you are quite funny!" "By the way, you've been abroad for a long time. Is there any good tea abroad?" Zhuang Zhiqi is not a person who doesn't understand the style.So, Zhuang Zhiqi quickly changed the subject. Chen Jin'er was a little discouraged, but she still replied in a straightforward manner: "Of course, there are many good teas abroad. For example, Darjeeling black tea from India, brown rice tea from Japan, and Earl Grey tea from Europe. My new store in Weitong Building will There is a foreign famous tea section." Zhuang Zhiqi said: "Okay, I must come and taste it then." Seeing that it was getting late, Zhuang Zhiqi took the initiative to leave, and Chen Jiner drove him back with a sense of regret. The next day was a working day, and Zhuang Zhiqi, who had just arrived at the office, was found by Du Linxiang.Du Linxiang got straight to the point: "Yesterday Gu Weimin called me and said he came back from the Middle East. I asked him to come to Hezhou, but he said he was too busy to leave, and in turn invited me to Hong Kong for an interview." Zhuang Zhiqi asked, "Are you going?" Du Linxiang shook his head: "I mean I want you to go there and contact Gu Weimin on my behalf." Zhuang Zhiqi rested his chin with his left hand: "That's fine, we can't appear to be too proactive." In Du Linxiang's view, Gu Weimin is a master of negotiating rhythm.In the beginning, when he invited himself to Beijing, he didn't directly talk about selling shells, but released the news naturally by inquiring about Wan Shunlong's situation.When he expressed his intention to buy a shell, Gu Weimin looked unhurried again, inferring that he was on vacation in the Middle East.Now that he's back in Hong Kong, he doesn't even want to come to Hezhou, just waiting for Du Linxiang to take the initiative to send him to his door, so that he can take advantage of the home court and ask for a lot of money. If Du Linxiang really ran to Hong Kong, he would be too impatient. What bargaining power would he have in the future?So Zhuang Zhiqi was sent to conduct fire reconnaissance first, and then he responded according to the development of the situation.In short, when talking about business, you have to put on airs that should be put on. Du Linxiang lit a cigarette, "You go this time, mainly to listen to what he has to say and see what specific conditions he has. In addition, you can also tell him directly that we have contacted several listed companies and are in contact. Don't think that you have to hang him from a tree." Zhuang Zhiqi said: "I understand this. I will report to you at any time if there is anything." Du Linxiang asked again: "Who are you going to take?" Zhuang Zhiqi thought for a while and said, "Let's take Yin Xiaoyin and Zhu Tianrui. They are both from the Strategic Development Department and are familiar with the situation." "Zhu Tianrui? Was he recruited when the Strategic Development Department was formed?" Du Linxiang took a deep breath. Zhuang Zhiqi said: "Yes. The young man is a returnee with a master's degree in finance, and he can endure hardships at work. Why, Mr. Du thinks something is wrong?" "No! No!" Du Linxiang said, "You have the final say on the matter of the Strategic Development Department. I don't have much impression of Zhu Tianrui either." Du Linxiang went on to say: "Take Gao Mingyong with you. He has been to Hong Kong often in recent years and is familiar with the situation there. Besides, this kid is very clever, and he is quite competent when he goes out to do some service work for you." Zhuang Zhiqi said with a smile: "I originally thought that Mingyong was the director of the group office, and I wanted to stay with Mr. Du. If you are willing to let him go, I can't ask for it." Du Linxiang said: "Go back and prepare, we will leave in a few days."
