Seeing Chen Baosheng looking at her blankly after hanging up the phone, Li Xuemei knew that someone was looking for him. No, she stood in front of Chen Baosheng sensibly and whispered: "Baosheng, if you have something to do, please leave first. I'm fine. Anyway, I only have a few bags of clothes and snacks. It's not far away. I'll go back in a while." .”
Chen Baosheng looked at Li Xuemei who was dressed coolly and even very sexy. He knew that she was dressed like this today and invited him to dinner on her birthday. As an adult, he knew what she was thinking.
She longs for a man's pampering, his tenderness, and even more, for regaining the relationship she once had. As a man, he actually gradually relaxed his guard and hatred towards Li Xuemei. He knew that if Chen Li Xuemei was really sent back, something like that happening to the two of them would be inevitable, and even what they expected in their hearts.
However, Lu Qiang's call at this moment put him in a dilemma.
From the bottom of his heart, he really didn't want to go out drinking at night, and accompanying others. This city is extremely prosperous at night, and the blurred neon lights are indeed intoxicating. However, for Chen Baosheng, it does not arouse much interest in him. Even if he usually drinks, he can find a few colleagues and have fun together, it doesn't matter. There is pressure, but when you go to accompany these leaders, the atmosphere is different.
However, it seems that it won’t work if I don’t go today. Lu Qiang is not a kind person, and he holds great power. If something happens in the future, he will still need his help, including future corporate purchase materials, signing and approving of some projects, and enjoying tax benefits, etc., all need to go through his hands. His power is to strangle small and medium-sized enterprises. As long as he exerts a little force, his own enterprise will suffer.
After thinking for a while, Chen Baosheng walked up to Li Xuemei with a smile, held her hand, touched her body with his arm, and then said bitterly: "Xuemei, I'm really sorry. The call just now was from This is a call from a leader from where the company is located. He was singing and drinking in the bar, so he probably asked me to be the scapegoat to pay the bill. Haha, I don’t want to go, but there’s nothing I can do about it. Please understand... Otherwise, I’ll take you to the community. At the door."
Li Xuemei waved her hand, smiled and said: "No, you can go ahead! I'm really fine. Uh... Chen Baosheng, thank you for celebrating my birthday with me." After that, Li Xuemei waved her hand, lifted it left and right, and went Went on the overpass. Seeing this, Chen Baosheng stopped a car on the side of the road and asked the driver to drive towards the salon bar Lu Qiang mentioned.
Along the way, Chen Baosheng looked out the window, his eyes deep and sad, and his thoughts were rolling in his heart. In his heart, although he does not particularly reject business entertainment, he does not pursue such behavior either. It's just that sometimes when people are in the arena, they can't help themselves. The responsibility on his shoulders forced him to do this.
When he arrived at the door of the bar, Chen Baosheng called Lu Qiang and found out that Lu Qiang had not gone there. But he said on the phone that he would immediately arrange for a guy who paid the bill tonight to come out and greet him.
After Lu Qiang hung up the phone, a young man about 27 or 28 years old actually walked out of the bar with a smile on his face and said to him: "You are Mr. Chen who was invited by Director Lu, right? Are you inviting me here?"
"Oh, yes, yes." Chen Baosheng nodded, and while following the young man walking inside, he couldn't help but look at the "big-headed ghost" who came to pay the bill. He was wondering if Lu Qiang didn't ask him to pay the bill. Why did you call yourself to attend his banquet? Does he have anything else?
While thinking about this, he walked into the private room. There are three people in the private room now, two men and one woman. After being introduced by the young man who just welcomed him in, they were from the same company. Among them was an older man who was their general manager. The young man who came in just now was the vice president. There was also a man sitting here who was dressed in a gorgeous dress, wearing short boots and hair. Shawl, a girl who looks innocent and pleasant, is actually the vice president of their company.
After a brief introduction, Chen Baosheng naturally sat aside, waiting for the arrival of Lu Qiang and his party. He was holding his cell phone and sipping snacks, listening to the three of them chatting and discussing how to entertain Lu Qiang. Through their chat, what surprised Chen Baosheng was that the company did have a project that required Lu Qiang to sign. The older Mr. Kang in the middle asked the innocent girl sitting next to him if he could It's up to her to take it.
There was a painful expression on the girl's face, her eyelashes were trembling slightly. It was obvious that although she was very reluctant, she finally closed her mouth, bit her lip gently and responded to the man: "I know, I must ask Director Lu to take care of me." Don’t worry after signing our project.”
Based on Chen Baosheng's workplace experience and his analysis of the conversations between these people, he knew that this girl should be the "victim" sacrificed to Lu Qiang by the boss of this company. After working hard in Shenzhen City for several years, he gradually gained a clear understanding of some of the affairs in this society. Using men's mentality of liking beautiful women to achieve the goal of signing a project is a bit shameful, but there is nothing you can do about it.
After waiting for about half an hour, Lu Qiang finally arrived. As soon as he opened the door, everyone stood to greet him and said loudly: "Brothers, I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting for so long."
Come over and shake hands with everyone. It was obvious that he had gotten on the bus from a hotel, and his mouth smelled heavily of alcohol and the tender fishy smell of abalone.
Chen Baosheng held Lu Qiang's hand and said with a smile: "It won't take long, just a moment. Director Lu, please take a seat."
Unexpectedly, Lu Qiang did not sit down, but stood beside Chen Baosheng. He patted his back with one hand and held his hand with the other: "Chen Baosheng, you are so awesome. Recently, I have signed and approved a lot of promising materials for you Shengjie Technology. Honorary titles such as park science and technology enterprises, annual large taxpayers, standardized management enterprises, etc. really need a reputation and support, and everyone in the district will give it to them. You guys, you have a bright future."
Facing Lu Qiang's compliment, Chen Baosheng could only smile awkwardly. He was about to apologize, but before he could say anything, Lu Qiang waved his hand again and said with a smile: "Chen Baosheng, you know I Why did I call you out today?"
Chen Baosheng shook his head.
Lu Qiang laughed even more. He walked to the door and signaled Xia Qinghong and Li Junze, who were deliberately parked under the shadow of the lamp, to come out: "Haha, I know you are a young guy and full of energy. You should be free to move around at night. But , today I have brought you two familiar old friends! I was thinking to myself, wouldn’t it be nice? Wouldn’t it be nice to ask you to come out and have a drink and chat with everyone, and talk about work, right?”
"Mr. Xia?"
"Haha, come in, Qinghong!" Following Lu Qiang's greeting, Xia Qinghong and his vice president Li Junze filed in from the door. The arrival of these two people made Chen Baosheng's eyes widen, because these people also entered his office in the afternoon. "It turns out to be Mr. Xia!" Although Chen Baosheng was confused, what could he say at this time? He had no choice but to greet him warmly at the door: "Oh, come on, come on, everyone, please sit inside."
With a smile on her lips, Xia Qinghong held Chen Baosheng's hand tightly and said, "Mr. Chen, originally, I wouldn't bother you. We were having dinner with Director Lu and were about to report our ideas and work. Unexpectedly, the mention of Shengjie Technology , he said, you are his old friend. No, I have to call you out, I'm really sorry."
Don't reach out to hit the smiling man, not to mention that he came with the leader. Chen Baosheng was disgusted with this person, but he still stretched out his hand and said: "Mr.
