Chapter 415 classmates
Qianyun Tea House is not located in a quiet suburb or a scenic spot. Instead, it opens up a space on the ground floor of a high-end shopping mall on Zhunhai Middle Road and decorates it in a Japanese dry landscape style courtyard.
If Cao Mo met Ding Zhaoqiang, Qian Wenhan, Ge Jun, Zhou Shenhe and others in China, he could go to Jinhonghui to eat and drink, and he wouldn't think of anywhere else to go; as for meeting and discussing matters with the management members of Tianyue's affiliated companies, The main thing is Tianyue headquarters, the environment is good enough.
He really doesn't have many opportunities to visit places like Dongfang Meili or Qianyun Tea House; but Shen Ji is responsible for complex affairs and has to come into contact with too many people of all kinds, so he inevitably has to hang out in these places.
Standing in the spotless lobby of Qianyun Tea House, Cao Mo saw that the exquisite decoration was indeed much better than that of Tianyue headquarters. After all, it was of a professional standard.
The lady at the front desk was wearing an off-white suit and skirt. She had a tall figure, slender white legs, and a pretty and charming face. She was one of the best beauties in the world. She looked to be in her mid-twenties, and she came over with a charming professional smile:
"Mr. Shen is here with friends today to talk about work, or should we just relax?"
"Well, let's sit here with friends. Is there any private room available?" No matter how full he was, Shen Ji couldn't act like he was familiar with the woman in front of his fiancée, so he asked in a slightly cold tone.
"Mr. Shen, the Liuyunjian where you usually sit happens to be empty. I'll take you there, okay?" The girl glanced at Wu Yunling and Cheng Xi, then looked at Cao Mo and Xiao Jun.
There was a bottle of stone figurines in the corner. Cao Mo touched it curiously. Cheng Xi shouted from behind: "Manager Cao, don't touch things blindly. Any decoration here is worth several months of your salary; Manager Wu, what do you say?" Yes or no?"
Cao Mo didn't know what Cheng Xi and Wu Yunling were doing, so he shrugged and said, "With my income in several months, I can buy this building!"
Seeing the slight smile on the girl's face, it seemed that his bragging was harmless and cute. Cao Mo couldn't say that he could really buy this building in a few months.
The private room is much more spacious than expected. The layout is simple, but it gives people an extremely exquisite feeling. There are fine lattice windows, and you can see the people walking on Huaihai Middle Road outside the mall. You can look at the city that looks tired, sweet or indifferent. The beauty's face seems to be the most beautiful scenery in the world.
Cao Mo, Shen Ji, and Xiao Jun sat down and took out cigarettes and lighters. Only then did they realize what Cheng Xi and Wu Yunling were doing by pretending to be strangers to them and befitting their positions. Then they saw the girl at the front desk squatting against the coffee table. When she came down, she first slightly pushed up the hem of her skirt, as if to make it easier for her to squat down and bring the ashtray on the coffee table to Shen Ji. However, the direction of her cross was just right towards Shen Ji. Her snow-white and smooth thighs were very tempting. People want to take another look deeper into the skirt.
The girl didn't seem to feel anything, so she took out a few paper towels and wetted the inside of the pad, then took the tea list, opened it, handed it to Shen Ji, and asked in a very soft voice: "What kind of tea are Mr. Shen planning to drink today?" "
The girl looked at Shen Ji, raised her eyelids from bottom to top, and then landed on the tea list, looking a bit like Zhou Han.
"That's it Anji Bai! Just bring the tea. We still have some things to talk about. I don't want you to entertain us here." Shen Ji couldn't resist, and he ordered some tea and sent the girl away.
"Have you seen it clearly? Don't think that when these men come to this teahouse, they just come to discuss business in a good manner without any evil intentions!" Wu Yunling taught Cheng Xi in a sincere manner.
"Ha, I don't like drinking tea. You can't alienate my relationship with Cheng Xi. You still tied up Shen Ji. Xiao Jun and I just ignored you." Cao Mo sat next to Cheng Xi and put Wu Yunling in front of her. He rushed to Shen Ji and smacked his lips and said, "But it's strange. Xiao Jun is not used to it, but he wears this suit forcefully. He feels uncomfortable all over. You can tell at a glance that he is a local leopard, but what do you think about me? In terms of temperament, I am not as good as Shen Ji... I woke up today and looked in the mirror, and I still feel that I am quite suave, why don't they seduce me?"
"My old Shen often hangs out in the teahouse. Others have known his identity for a long time. The key is this Patek Philippe! The girls here are very sharp-eyed. They can estimate the price of the watches they wear and the bags they carry at a glance. ," Wu Yunling rolled up Shen Ji's shirt sleeves to fully expose the Patek Philippe, and said, "Although a Patek Philippe is a matter of time to you, you can't put this on your face. Ah! Without these decorations, do you think you can eat their soft rice based on your own face?"
"I can also eat Cheng Xi's soft rice." Cao Mo said with a smile.
"I'll write Cao Ten Billion on your face. This is definitely a good idea!" Cheng Xi reached out to hold Cao Mo's face and took out an eyebrow pencil from his bag to draw on his face.
"No kidding," Cao Mo struggled out from Cheng Xi's hands and talked about Xiao Jun's painful blind date in the past few days. He asked Wu Yunling, "Do you have any good kids around you? Keep an eye on Xiao Jun so he doesn't pay attention." What scheming woman brought trouble to you?"
"Do you think anyone can be like Cheng Xi, who only sees you a few times a year and still thinks about you stupidly in China? Missing you now is much more realistic than you think. Xiao Jun is not in China at all times. Who can guarantee that if he introduces a girl to him, their relationship will last? If something goes wrong in the middle, we will still have to suffer." Wu Yunling would not be thankless in introducing a partner to Xiao Jun, and she was curious Asked, "By the way, although Akwa and Kanem are African countries, they have many descendants of colonists, and the girls should be very beautiful. And I heard from Shen Ji that Tianyue is in Kanem, Ah In Kwa and Benin, a large proportion of management and technical personnel are of British and French descent...haven't you encountered this in West Africa?"
"Who told you this? Go and remove the word 'we' from 'you'." Cao Mo said with a smile, saying that he would not be fooled by Wu Yunling.
The girl who first received the reception seemed to realize from Shen Ji's attitude that the teasing just now was abrupt. After a while, a different waiter came in to serve another girl with fair skin, beauty, and tall figure. She left He came in and put down the refreshments, looked at Xiao Jun and asked, "Are you Mr. Xiao Jun?"
"Ah?" Xiao Jun asked confused, wondering how this girl knew him.
"A customer just said that Mr. Xiao looks familiar, but he refused to confirm it. We don't let customers disturb each other casually. I'll come over and ask first. He seems to be Mr. Xiao's college classmate!" the girl said.
After graduating from high school, Xiao Jun was admitted to a university in Dalian. However, because of his father's illness, he chose to stay with his ex-girlfriend, who was also a college student.
The female classmate broke up and returned to Xinhai, enduring great pain. At the same time, he also lost contact with all his former college classmates.
He didn't expect that sometimes the world is so small and he would meet his college classmates here.
Xiao Jun stood up and pushed open the door of the private room. He saw a familiar face diagonally across the aisle. He happily walked over and hugged the man excitedly: "Dabo, you don't even dare to recognize me, do you?" , have I changed that much? Did you ask the waiter to come over first to confirm?"
Xiao Jun took the man to their private room and introduced him to Cao Mo and Shen Ji.
"Lu Junbo, I sleep on the upper bunk in my university dormitory. At that time, I was always worried that his 200 kilograms of weight would collapse the bed board, so I asked him to move to the lower bunk. I was not happy that he has lost weight now and looks like I must have lost thirty kilograms. This is Cao Mo, my high school classmate. I told you about it when I was in college. He stabbed someone with twelve knives, but the knives avoided the opponent's vital points. This is what I admire the most in my life. Shen Ji, Mr. Shen, and now my boss Cheng Xi, and Wu Yunling are the girlfriends of Cao Mo and Mr. Shen."
"Look what you said, you called me a promiscuous person." Cao Mo and Cheng Xi moved to the side and gave up their seats for Xiao Jun to pull Lu Junbo to sit down and chat. It was really a surprise to meet a college classmate unexpectedly. Something to be happy about.
"When did you arrive in Xinhai? Have you started working in Xinhai? Why didn't you contact me after arriving in Xinhai?" Xiao Jun has not been in contact with his former college classmates in the past few years, and he doesn't know Lu Juncheng's current situation.
Lu Junbo briefly exchanged greetings with Cao Mo and Shen Ji, and when they sat down, they also talked enthusiastically with Xiao Jun: "I graduated and went home to work for two years. I really couldn't feel the need to pursue my career, so I quit my job and came to Xinhai. Who said I didn't contact you? , the key point is that no one can contact you! You are doing well now, you are so sexy, you are worth about 10,000, right? Where have you been hiding in the past few years since you returned to Xinhai? Is your old Xinhai mobile phone number the same? It has been changed a long time ago. You were so cruel that you broke up with Zhao Qianyun, but you didn’t change all Xinhai’s mobile phone numbers. You were so cruel that no one in your classmates would not scold you, my grandson."
"I didn't change Xinhai's mobile phone number!"
Xiao Jun patted his forehead. He had not changed his mobile phone number, but the total time he had spent in China for so long in the past was no more than half a month. In Akwa, Kanem would not use this mobile phone number to communicate.
If someone wants to contact this mobile phone number during his return to China, it would really have to be a coincidence.
Xiao Jun explained excitedly,
"I didn't stay long after I returned to Xinhai from Dalian, and then I went abroad to work; Cao Mo is like Zhou Papi. It's a coincidence that I have only returned to China for three or four days recently. If I didn't have the chance to meet you today, I don't know when. I know you came to Xinhai to work..."
"Zhao Qianyun has also gone to work in Xinhai, did you know? She can't contact you dead or alive." Lu Junbo asked.
Xiao Jun felt as if he had been struck by lightning at this moment. He was stunned. His hand that was about to hand the cigarette to Lu Junbo started to shake.
Cao Mo knew that Xiao Jun had graduated from university and had stayed in Dalian for this girl named Zhao Qianyun. However, his father had cancer and had to undergo major surgery and had to leave Dalian and return to Xinhai. At that time, the girl was unwilling to leave Dalian, so Xiao Jun could only suffer. I chose to break up; but I didn’t expect that after Xiao Jun left Xinhai, this girl would actually come to Xinhai to find him after a period of time, and even stayed in Xinhai to work.
Sometimes nature also plays tricks on people.
"What's Zhao Qianyun's mobile phone number?" Xiao Jun asked with a trembling voice.
"She has always used a mobile phone number in Dalian. She said that you might contact her unexpectedly one day. She didn't change it after arriving in Xinhai. I don't know if she has changed her mobile phone number now. I only call her occasionally. I saw her online in the class QQ group and sent her a greeting. She seems to be dating a boy who has been chasing her for two years recently. Are you sure you want to contact her?" Lu Junbo asked.
Hearing what Lu Junbo said, Xiao Jun hesitated.
He has always believed that time can change everything, not to mention that she already has a boyfriend, so does he still need to contact her?
Neither Cao Mo nor Shen Ji could help with this matter, so they sat there silently.
At this time, someone pushed the door open and came in, but it was not another waiter, but a middle-aged man about forty years old. He waved Lu Junbo to the door and said: "Xiao Lu, please drive Mr. Huang and others!"
This person is obviously Lu Junbo's immediate boss at work. He should be accompanying clients or business partners to Qianyun Teahouse today to discuss matters. Lu Junbo resigned and came to work in Xinhai. Even if he already has a certain foundation, he is still in the role of a handyman.
In the past, Lu Junbo would have left his contact information and reunited with Xiao Jun at another time. But apart from seeing that Xiao Jun was not in a good mood, he was surprised by the unexpected meeting and said to the person: "Mr. Gu, I am with the university. I haven’t seen my classmates for several years. It’s really unexpected that we met here today. Should we just arrange for Mr. Huang and the others to take a taxi back? This is my college classmate Xiao Jun..."
Lu Junbo wanted to introduce Xiao Jun to his boss, but his boss was immediately unhappy. He glanced at the room and asked him unceremoniously: "If I let Mr. Huang and the others take a taxi back, what's the point of bringing you here?" Where? You'd better separate work from personal matters clearly, and don't keep Mr. Huang and the others waiting for too long..."
The man dropped these words, turned around and left indifferently.
Lu Junbo stood there awkwardly.
Cao Mo said to him forgivingly, "You go and do your work first. We'll sit here and drink tea, waiting for you to come back."
"Our customers live as far away as Songshan. I will drive them back. It will take more than an hour at the fastest, maybe two hours. If you can't wait, we will contact you by phone." Lu Junbo finally came to his senses and took out a tissue. , quickly wrote down a string of mobile phone numbers, stood up, opened the door and walked away.
At this time, voices came from the corridor. Shen Ji heard the voice was familiar and looked out, only to see a familiar figure standing with Lu Junbo's boss, saying hello: "Mr. Huang, you don't even say hello when you see us." , I just wanted to run away secretly because I was afraid that I would put the tea money in your account!"
"Mr. Shen! You are also drinking tea here today!" The man was less than forty years old and had a gentle appearance. The suit he wore did not fit him well. When he heard Shen Ji greeting him in the tea room, he was stunned for a moment. Seeing Shen Ji's face clearly, his boss walked away from Lu Junbo and walked in to chat, "I really didn't see Mr. Shen..."
Lu Junbo's boss looked over in surprise, his expression changed, probably because he saw Huang Tianyu was very respectful to Shen Ji, he also put on a smile and came over, asking: "Mr. Huang met a friend.
I'll settle the bill here as well."
"This is Mr. Shen, the chairman of Taihua Group, and this is Mr. Gu Qidong of Changchuang Air Conditioning East China District"
Huang Tianyu introduced his identity to Lu Junbo's boss and Shen Ji, but he seemed very reluctant; obviously he believed that there was still a gap in the identity and status of the two parties, and it was a bit abrupt for Lu Junbo's boss to force himself in.
At the same time, Huang Tianyu didn't know the identities of Xiao Jun and Cao Mo. After sitting down, he took out his business card and handed it to Xiao Jun first.
"Huang Tianyu of Potian Electronics has always thought that he relied on Mr. Shen to take care of him..."
"Pfft!"
Wu Yunling laughed out loud, pushed Cheng Xi and said,
"You should really dress up your man. Look at him wearing a sweatshirt and jeans or a jacket and jeans all day long. He looks like he works for my old Shen."
Huang Tianyu was stunned for a moment, but he turned around quickly. He handed the business card to Cao Mo with both hands and said, "Mr. Shen's friends don't dare to worry. I don't know your last name yet..."
"Cao Mo, let's go to the teahouse today to gain some experience in Mr. Shen's honor,"
Potian Electronics makes automatic control systems for vehicle air conditioners. Although the company's current development is not very big, Cao Mo has carefully researched nearly 400 companies in Xinhai involving the automobile manufacturing industry chain, so he knows Potian Electronics and Huang Tianyu.
Three years ago, Potian also received a financing of 3 million from Hexi Fund, but when Dongsheng was in debt crisis, it withdrew its investment from Potian; there is no direct relationship between them.
Xu Bin and others evaluated Huang Tianyu as a scholar-type entrepreneur. Judging from his temperament, Xu Bin and others' evaluation was quite accurate. Cao Mo took the business card and shook hands with him again.
"I don't have the habit of bringing business cards, but I was abrupt."
"..." Huang Tianyu was stunned for a moment, holding Cao Mo's hand and forgetting to let go.
Cao Mo's name is still unfamiliar to the ears of ordinary citizens in Xinhai. After all, he has not been officially reported in the media. However, Tianyue Industry has just completed the acquisition of Huachen's pickup truck assets and announced the establishment of an independent vehicle technology development company with a high profile. At the same time, Tianyue Industry announced that it will develop a variety of mid-to-high-end motorcycles for off-road and recreational use, which still caused quite a stir in the industry.
Tianyue Industrial's actions are absolutely nothing in the field of automobile industry, but for those who really pay attention to the related parties behind them, it can be vaguely linked to the changes in project assets of Taihua, Dongsheng and Xinhai Gold a year ago. Now you know how big Tianyue’s real size is!
Huang Tianyu was not as sophisticated and tactful as Guo Donghu, Xie Sipeng and others. When he first discovered Cao Mo's identity, he was a little stunned. He exchanged a few dry greetings and didn't know how to continue the conversation.
Cao Mo took the initiative and asked with a smile: "Did Potian Electronics receive a big order from the joint venture factory, and asked Mr. Gu to keep an eye on Mr. Huang?"
Huang Tianyu looked at Cao Mo in surprise, but then he thought that Cao Mo must have guessed this from Gu Qidong's attitude towards him.
Although Changchuang Air Conditioner can only be considered a second-tier brand in China, its specifications in East China are much higher than that of a small company like Poten Electronics.
The only possibility is that Botian Electronics' vehicle air-conditioning automatic control system obtains a large order from the joint venture, and at the same time has a considerable say in the selection of hardware matching, so that the attitude of the East China CEO of Changchuang can be a little more humble.
"How can Botian influence the joint venture automaker's hardware procurement bidding? Mr. Gu has some misunderstandings and thinks that cooperation with Botian will work." Huang Tianyu said, and he didn't mind telling some secrets to people like Cao Mo. Know.
To put it bluntly, Changchuang Air Conditioning’s results in the first round of bidding for the joint venture car manufacturer were not very good, and they might be rejected in the second round. That’s why they decided to cooperate with Botian, which has a leading advantage in the control system bidding, to bundle the hardware and software. , to reverse the defeat.
Huang Tianyu couldn't resist and agreed to talk once, but there was really nothing to talk about, so he found an excuse to leave early.
Of course, Huang Tianyu didn't think he had much in-depth exchanges with Cao Mo and Shen Ji.
On the one hand, Hexi originally held 40% of Poten's equity. When the debt crisis was at its worst, he tampered with the terms of the contract and forced Huang Tianyu to pay 8 million to repurchase the equity; this made Poten Electronics very hurt and a little hurtful. .
On the other hand, vehicle air conditioning and control systems are only a small part of passenger cars. At the same time, low-end cars pay more attention to hardware and have very low requirements for control systems. Huang Tianyu does not think there will be any cooperation between Potian Electronics and Tianyue Industry. When I had the opportunity, I said goodbye after saying a few words and left.
Taihua Group is in turmoil, but it is still a listed company. As the chairman of the listed company, Shen Ji’s status cannot be compared to that of a regional sales manager from Changchuang, let alone the major investor who actually controls Taihua Group. The guy was sitting right in front of me.
Huang Tianyu left after saying a few words, and Gu Qidong had no reason to get close to him. At the same time, he also couldn't understand the identity of Lu Junbo's college classmate Xiao Jun among the two big bosses Cao Mo and Shen Ji. He secretly felt that he had just made a mistake to Lu Junbo. His temper was a bit abrupt, so he could only talk to Shen Ji and Cao Mo calmly: "I'll send Mr. Huang away, and I won't be here to bother you in a while. Mr. Shen, Mr. Cao, I'll settle the account here as well." !”
"Don't be so polite, Mr. Gu, we can still afford the tea," Cao Mo said with a smile, "Just arrange for Mr. Huang to take a taxi back and let Dabo accompany us to drink tea and chat!" Seeing Huang Tianyu He looked over with some confusion and explained, "Mr. Lu, the manager next to Mr. Gu, is my friend's college classmate. It's a coincidence that we met here after not seeing each other for several years. I wanted to keep him for tea no matter what. , I can’t drive Mr. Huang back!”
"I told Mr. Gu not to bother Mr. Lu at this late hour. It's best that Mr. Gu is so enthusiastic. You continue to drink tea, and we'll leave first!" Huang Tianyu said cheerfully.
"Junbo, you stay here to reminisce with your classmates, and I will send Mr. Huang and his friends back in person." Seeing Cao Mo, Shen Ji didn't want to ignore him. Gu Qidong said to Lu Junbo with a stern face.
After Huang Tianyu, Gu Qidong and others left, Cao Mo saw that Xiao Jun had not calmed down yet and said:
Chapter completed!
