A straight man is a straight man, no matter how many love guides he reads, he is still a straight man.

Maybe it was the shyness unique to people of that era, or maybe Wu Yudong hadn't thought of what to say yet.

In short, from the moment he sat down, this middle-aged man seemed to be more interested in him and kept asking questions.

Zhang Mingyang even began to doubt whether it was true that his aunt said that the two of them chatted very well online.

But he seemed to be the only one who felt it was abnormal.

While the two were chatting, Yan Li just sat aside and listened silently, without feeling impatient at all.

"I fell in love with Qinglian the first time I used it, especially the matching function you made!" Since meeting Zhang Mingyang, Wu Yudong has completely lost his composure when he first came in. He expressed his love for Qinglian

opinions and talk about their own experience of using it.

“I sometimes think, if we can also have such a software for taxis, drivers and passengers can click on the matching together, and passengers and drivers who are close to each other can be matched together, so that everyone can get more tickets every day.

It’s alive.”

Wu Yudong's fantasy had a special flavor in Zhang Mingyang's ears.

Because he is talking about Didi Taxi, which will only appear in the future.

Although there are some differences in the model, they are still similar in essence.

At first, Didi Taxi quickly captured the market through discounts for passengers and rewards for drivers. Once everyone got used to it, it began to reap the rewards.

Wu Yudong's words gave Zhang Mingyang new inspiration. He can now build his own "Didi Taxi", starting from Linjiang and promoting it abroad bit by bit.

"But we are just taxis, and we are probably not worthy of your high-tech stuff." After talking about his fantasy, Wu Yudong suddenly felt a little embarrassed, scratching his head and denying himself.

"Perhaps what you are talking about is the normal state of taxis in the future." Zhang Mingyang said ambiguous words at first, then he stood up and said: "You guys chat first, I will go to the bathroom."

If he doesn't leave, the good online dating will soon turn into a seminar on the future of the taxi industry.

I hope that after he leaves, the conversation between the two of them can be a little normal.

After coming out of the bathroom, Zhang Mingyang found a place to sit down and did not go back.

While playing with his cell phone, he noticed the business card he had just held in his hand, so he took out his cell phone and made a call.

"Hey, Mr. Zhao, how are you doing lately?"

On the other end of the phone was Zhao Rongsheng, who had been hanging out in Linjiang and running his own teahouse. He must be more familiar with the people doing business in Linjiang than he was.

"I wonder if Zhang always wants to hear good news or bad news?" Zhao Rongsheng asked.

Zhang Mingyang did not rush to inquire about Wu Yudong's affairs, but said along the way: "It's Chinese New Year, of course I prefer good news, and if possible, I prefer no bad news."

Zhao Rongsheng's laughter came from the receiver: "It's fun to talk to Mr. Zhang. Let me tell you the good news first. The good news is that thanks to you, the old man has been very dissatisfied with my brother recently and is planning to find someone to take over the mess he left.

."

"Then I hope this mess won't happen to Mr. Zhao and you will become his foot wipe."

Faced with Zhang Mingyang's teasing, Zhao Rongsheng was noncommittal. He just smiled and did not say whether he was willing or unwilling.

This attitude alone means that he is willing to take over the "mess" from his younger brother's hands.

After laughing for a while, Zhao Rongsheng continued: "But there is also bad news. Of course, I think this is just bad news for the old man or Xu Mo."

Zhang Mingyang raised his eyebrows and waited silently for the next sentence.

"The entire Steel City engineering team refused to cooperate. The water park project has been applied for extension from above. I don't know why, but the large and small engineering teams in Steel City had already negotiated, but suddenly changed their minds before signing the contract." stated the statement.

After finishing the facts, Zhao Rongsheng asked doubtfully: "Mr. Zhang, I remember you are from Gangcheng. Do you know what happened over there?"

"Mr. Zhao, you know me. I'm just a coder, so how can I understand your complicated matters?"

Zhang Mingyang didn't expect that Zhang Hai's appeal would be so great. When he refused alone, all the engineering teams in Steel City also quit.

In the beginning, he and Zhang Hai were on the same page, just because they didn't want people around him to be deceived. Who knew it would actually create such a butterfly effect?

Just like the future he envisioned at the beginning, although Zhao's Industry is already in its twilight years, its size is still there. If he does nothing, he can barely survive for a while. A desperate move will only make the entire Zhao's Industry more dead.

quick.

The living Zhao Industry is more useful to him than the dead one.

"That's it." Zhao Rongsheng didn't ask any more questions. Naturally, he couldn't guess that all these things were caused by Zhang Mingyang, who was on the phone with him.

He already thinks highly of this young man, but he hasn't thought much about it yet.

After telling the two pieces of news, Zhao Rongsheng took the initiative to ask: "I have finished what I want to say. I wonder why Mr. Zhang called me today..."

Of course, he would not simply think that Zhang Mingyang took the initiative to call just to say hello.

"It's nothing, I just want to inquire about you personally." Zhang Mingyang said.

"Mr. Zhang, you said that although I have not achieved much in Linjiang these years, I have met a lot of all kinds of people."

"Wu Yudong, have you heard of him? From Dongyi Taxi Company." Zhang Mingyang picked up the business card at hand and repeated.

The other end of the phone fell into silence for a while, probably thinking. After a while, Zhao Rongsheng said: "We have met several times. This man is very lucky. When he was young, he drove for the boss above. Later, the boss retired and got him a good car."

I went somewhere and worked for a taxi company in response to the policy."

Because he was his aunt's online dating partner, Zhang Mingyang asked some other questions: "How is he like a person? I mean, he is usually normal, you know what I mean."

Zhao Rongsheng was stunned for a moment, but still answered truthfully: "I don't have much personal contact with him, but I heard that he has a good reputation in the circle. He doesn't smoke, drink, or gamble. He doesn't usually go out to play. Occasionally he comes to my place to drink."

Tea, but when I come, I only chat with my friends on the first floor and never go upstairs, that’s all I know.”

"Okay, that's enough, thank you."

"Mr. Zhang, you don't have to be polite to me. If you can use me in any way, just call me."

Zhao Rongsheng did not ask Zhang Mingyang why he wanted to inquire about Wu Yudong. He only did what he should do.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Mingyang already had a preliminary impression of his aunt's online dating partner.

When I was young, I was still in good health, and I used the opportunity to start my own company during a special period. Now I can be considered prosperous.

There is never a shortage of women around this kind of boss. Although Zhao Rongsheng said that he is a good man with "three noes", Zhang Mingyang still did not let down his guard.

He sat aside and observed secretly, and saw that the two elders were chatting happily after he left, so he didn't bother them too much and let them go on their own. He believed that his aunt must have had her own problems after spending so many years in society.

judgment.

Zhang Mingyang was very patient. Yan Li and Wu Yudong were chatting not far away, and he was waiting aside.

But he hasn't been idle either, he's been thinking about taxi-hailing apps.

If he were the only one to enter the market, the initial market rollout of taxi-hailing software would encounter great obstacles, but it would be different if someone in the industry helps, such as Wu Yudong, who has the same idea.

I don’t know how long it took, but Zhang Mingyang, who was drinking coffee in a daze, felt his shoulder suddenly being tapped twice.

Looking back, Yan Li and Wu Yudong were already standing behind him.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting for so long." Wu Yudong apologized.

"It's okay." Zhang Mingyang bowed and said, "Don't worry about me. If you still want to go somewhere else, I'll go back first."

While speaking, he was also observing the two people in front of him and found nothing unusual.

"I originally wanted to invite you to have dinner together tonight, but Lily said that she has to meet her relatives first tonight."

When Wu Yudong was talking, Yan Li behind him kept winking at him.

The two sisters are both in Steel City now. What kind of relatives are they meeting?

Although he knew it was a lie, Zhang Mingyang still said cooperatively: "That's what happened, let's get together again when we have time."

"Can you leave your phone number?" Wu Yudong said.

This sentence was not said to Yan Li, but to Zhang Mingyang.

He didn't have a business card, so he asked the waiter for a pen and wrote his phone number on a napkin. He had a hunch that he would meet the owner of the taxi company again in the future.

"Yangyang, why did you bring your father's car here?" Yan Li asked proactively when she got back to the car.

Seeing the panic between his aunt's brows, Zhang Mingyang ignored her deliberate attempt to change the topic and said perfunctorily: "I can drive this car easily."

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately asked: "Why don't you go when someone invites you to have dinner with me tonight? Are you not satisfied with him?"

[To be honest, I have been using the Huanyuan app recently to read and catch up on updates. It allows me to switch between sources and read aloud with many sounds. .huanyuanapp is available for Android and Apple.]

Seeing that she couldn't escape her nephew's interrogation in the end, Yan Li sighed and said, "No, I'm quite satisfied..."

As she spoke, she looked out the car window, wondering what she was thinking.

"If you're quite satisfied, just stay." Zhang Mingyang said.

His original idea was that regardless of what kind of person Wu Yudong was, he would help his aunt take care of things. He just hoped that someone would accompany his aunt this time so that she would not be so lonely when she gets old.

"He just told me that he hasn't been looking for me for so many years because of his children. Now that his children are in college, he wants to think about his own affairs."

"Isn't this very proactive?"

It turned out that after he left, Wu Yudong hinted so clearly. It seemed that he had restricted his performance just now when he was present.

"I just feel that it's too fast. Shouldn't it be..." Yan Li was incoherent and didn't know what she was talking about for a long time.

She suddenly realized that the person sitting next to her was a junior, so she stopped talking.
