1130 Painful Zhao Ling(1/2)
Tian Ye came home from get off work dejectedly, walked to the rental house, stopped for a moment, took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and then opened the door.
Today, the leader talked to Tianye. In view of her work performance during this period, the leader was very disappointed with her and transferred her to the housekeeping department.
Tian Ye always asked for leave because of Zhao Ling's affairs, and her boss felt that she was not qualified for her current job. However, the housekeeping department was on a shift system, with more free time, and was only paid based on the hours worked.
Tian Ye's income will shrink a lot starting next month. What's more important is that the housekeeping department is doing dirty and tiring work, working with detergents and toilets all day long.
But Ye Ye doesn't want to tell Zhao Ling about this. Recently, Zhao Ling is actively contacting investors and preparing for a comeback.
?She didn’t want to affect Zhao Ling because of her own affairs.
When Tian Ye opened the door, he found Zhao Ling standing upright in the living room wearing a suit, with a sense of confidence on his face, as if he had returned to the past.
"Zhao Ling, why are you dressed so formally today?" Ye Ye was very happy to see the new Zhao Ling.
"I made an appointment with an investor tonight. If you have time, please go with me!" Zhao Ling said.
"Do I need to go too?" Tian Tian asked unconfidently.
Zhao Ling nodded and said: "The other party will also bring his female companion. I think it is better for you to go with him. We will discuss business and you will accompany his female companion."
Tian Tian was stunned, but still a little embarrassed and said: "Then what should I pay attention to later."
"It's nothing, just like usual, just be polite to people you see." Zhao Ling thought for a while and said, "By the way, remember to bring some money to pay the bill."
Tian Ye panicked and asked, "How much money do you need to bring?"
Recently, in order to pay for Zhao Ling's treatment, Tianye went bankrupt. He even sold his car, so he really didn't have much money.
"Bring 10,000 first. If it's not enough, you can swipe your credit card first." Zhao Ling said, "I'm telling you, as long as I agree on a cooperation with Mr. Wu, I can make a comeback and get all my money back."
Tian Ye still believed in Zhao Ling and obediently took a credit card.
Zhao Ling took a crutch before going out. He still felt a little unnatural when going down the stairs. Tian Ye wanted to help him, but Zhao Ling stopped him.
"When I see Mr. Wu later, please don't help me. I want to prove that I can do it." Zhao Ling warned.
"I see."
The two went downstairs, took a taxi, and headed to a club.
Zhao Ling used to be a frequent visitor to the club, but he never came again after the bankruptcy.
The waiter recognized Zhao Ling and did not hesitate to find him a high-end private room. However, Tian Ye was heartbroken when he heard that the minimum price for a private room was 9,888.
Zhao Ling saw Tianye's nervousness and warned, "Be natural and smile more on your face."
Tian Ye reluctantly showed a smile, and then waited for Mr. Wu to come over.
Zhao Ling made an appointment with Mr. Wu at seven o'clock in the evening, but no one arrived until eight o'clock.
Tian Ye looked at his watch from time to time, feeling a little anxious. If Mr. Wu failed to make the appointment, the private room fee would have to be paid.
"Zhao Ling, why don't you call and ask." Tian Tian said anxiously.
"No, Mr. Wu is here. It's not appropriate for me to call him. Mr. Wu thought I was rushing him." Zhao Ling actually didn't feel confident, but he still had to stay calm in front of Ye Ye.
Fortunately, Mr. Wu rushed over, but he was an hour and a half late.??
"Brother Zhao, I'm sorry. The company was temporarily delayed by something. I asked the secretary to inform you, but he was busy and forgot." When Mr. Wu arrived, his attitude was quite good, and he apologized repeatedly:
"I'll punish myself with three cups later."
Zhao Ling's heart finally fell into his stomach, and he personally welcomed Mr. Wu to the main seat and sat down.
Mr. Wu specifically looked at Zhao Ling's legs and asked a few questions pretending to be concerned.
In order to prove that he was fine, Zhao Ling even jumped twice in front of Mr. Wu, which frightened Tian Ye.
Fortunately, everything went well and Zhao Ling did not fall.
"Mr. Wu, didn't you say you would bring your wife here?" Zhao Ling asked when he saw Mr. Wu coming alone.
"She! I was impatient after working overtime and had already gone home." Mr. Wu glanced at the field aside, suddenly grinned and said: "This is Miss Tian! I originally planned to introduce my wife to you.
I can only have a chance next time.”
"It doesn't matter, there will definitely be opportunities in the future." Tian Tian said sincerely.
Mr. Wu laughed, then patted Zhao Ling on the shoulder and said, "Brother Zhao, it turns out that you have always had such a beautiful confidante by your side. No wonder you haven't gotten married yet."
Zhao Ling smiled awkwardly, then asked the waiter to serve the food and opened a bottle of Maotai.
When Ye Ye saw Maotai, he couldn't help but touch his credit card.
Zhao Ling didn't care about this, he took Mr. Wu to drink, and used the strength of the wine to tell him his plan to make a fortune.
Mr. Wu seemed to be very interested in Zhao Ling's plan. He listened very attentively, interjecting a few words from time to time, and when he was happy, he took Zhao Ling and Tian Ye to drink.
Tian Tian didn't want to drink it at first, but couldn't bear Mr. Wu's hospitality, so he could only take a sip.
Soon one bottle of Maotai was bottomed out, and Zhao Ling immediately asked someone to send another bottle as a gift.
Tian Ye stopped him and persuaded him: "Zhao Ling, you have drunk a lot."
"It's okay. I'm happy to see Mr. Wu today. This little wine is nothing!" Zhao Ling said with a blushing face.
Mr. Wu smiled and said: "Brother Zhao has just recovered from a serious illness. He really shouldn't drink too much. Let's open a bottle of red and Miss Tian can drink some."
After saying that, Mr. Wu called the waiter and asked her to open a bottle of Lafite 1998 and handed her card to the waiter.
When Zhao Ling saw it, his expression changed drastically and he quickly winked at Tian Tian.
"How can we ask Mr. Wu to pay for it?"
Although Tian Ye felt sorry for the money, he also knew that he could not ruin Zhao Ling's good deeds now. He could only get Mr. Wu's card back and return it to him personally.
"Mr. Wu, please put the card away." Tian Tian held the card in both hands and handed it to Mr. Wu.
Mr. Wu smiled slightly, held Tian Ye's hand with both hands, and declined: "I naturally know what Brother Zhao is doing now. It's just a meal, and it doesn't matter who invites you."
Tian Ye's hand was held by Mr. Wu, and she didn't feel anything at first. But after a few seconds, she found that Mr. Wu had no intention of taking back his hand, and she couldn't help but feel slightly unhappy.
Mr. Wu took Tian Tian's hand and stroked it gently: "Miss Tian's skin is really good. Whatever skin care products you usually use, I will buy some for my yellow-faced woman."
Tian Ye was a little unnatural and wanted to withdraw his hand, but Mr. Wu was very strong and tried several times without success.
Zhao Ling also realized that something was wrong and quickly made things right.
"Mr. Wu, I agreed to treat you today and I will never let you pay for it." Zhao Ling inserted himself between Mr. Wu and Tian Ye and quietly asked Tian Tian to leave.
"I'm going to the bathroom to touch up my makeup." Tian Ye quickly pulled away, confessed to Mr. Wu, and quickly left the private room.
Mr. Wu reluctantly took back his hand and put it under his nose to smell it.
Zhao Ling felt very unhappy when he saw Mr. Wu's appearance, but he also knew that he could not offend him now.
"Mr. Wu, I will ask the club to find two girls to come and drink with you." Zhao Ling suggested.
"No, I think it would be nice for Miss Tian to accompany us." Mr. Wu said cheerfully: "Brother Zhao is very handsome!"
Zhao Ling felt as if he had eaten a fly, but he had to endure it.
Mr. Wu pulled the stool next to Zhao Ling, took out a room card, and said, "I have a room upstairs. I will ask Miss Tian to take me up later."
Zhao Ling's face changed wildly, and he almost slapped Wu, but when he touched his broken leg, he still endured it.
"Ye Ye is getting older, and I'm afraid she won't be what you want, so I'll find two young people to escort Mr. Wu upstairs."
Mr. Wu said coquettishly: "I've been tired of being young recently and want to change my taste. I'm particularly interested in those women from good families who still have charm. Can Brother Zhao be as beautiful as an adult?"
Zhao Ling couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and shouted angrily: "Mr. Wu, Ye Tian is my woman, don't go too far!"
Mr. Wu said confidently: "Brother Zhao, do you still want to make a comeback?"
Zhao Ling hesitated, but asked her to sacrifice the field, but she still couldn't do it.
"If I, Zhao Ling, want to make a comeback, I don't need to rely on a woman, let alone sacrifice my own woman."
When Mr. Wu heard this, instead of being angry, he became even more excited.
"Zhao Ling, you have to think clearly about who else is willing to help you besides me now." Mr. Wu leaned on the chair and said with a smile: "You should have contacted those friends from before!"
Zhao Ling's expression was gloomy and uncertain, as if Mr. Wu was talking about something central.
Since he became disabled and bankrupt, Zhao Ling's former close friends were afraid to avoid him and even regarded him as a god of plague.
Wu was always the only one who agreed to go out to eat with him.
"Brother Zhao, you are just a woman! The most important thing for us men is to make money. With money, you can't find any kind of woman."
Mr. Wu pulled Zhao Ling back to the chair and whispered in his ear: "I can promise you now that after Miss Tian stays with me, I will invest in your new company immediately."
Zhao Ling's right hand trembled, but he did not hit Mr. Wu.
Mr. Wu saw that Zhao Ling was a little shaken, and then said: "Brother Zhao, if you think it's not appropriate, forget it. Today's meal is mine. From now on, let's go back to our own way, and don't contact us again."
Zhao Ling's lips trembled and he said, "It's impossible for Ye Ye to agree."
Mr. Wu smiled mysteriously, took out a small pill, and said, "As long as you add this medicine to Miss Tian's wine, she won't know anything. If you don't tell me in the future, and I won't tell you, who will know."
Zhao Ling clenched his right fist tightly, still unable to make up his mind.
Mr. Wu snorted coldly: "Brother Zhao, you also know what your current situation is. No investor can trust you to hand over your money to someone who can't even walk well."
