Heizi gave Long Yong a death order and continued to date Amao in the past two days until he found her place to stay.
Near the beginning of March, Pei Donglai decided to pay a visit to Boss Zhong. Currently, only Boss Zhong has not expressed his position. Although he and the old chairman are friends, they are not alone, and Yang Tao is also active, so things will inevitably change.
This is a war without gunpowder. No matter who comes to power, Pei Donglai or Yang Tao, the other side will not have an easy time, so they cannot lose and must be fully prepared.
Boss Zhong is 56 years old, similar in age to the old chairman, and lives in the suburbs.
He started his business in his 20s and worked in many industries such as building materials and real estate. Finally, he made a fortune in the financial world. In addition to being a director of a bank, he also has two large guarantee companies. Boss Zhong resigned from the guarantee company a few years ago. As the top leader of the company, he retreats behind the scenes. He usually lives in seclusion and is very low-key.
Pei Donglai did not make an appointment, so he drove there first because he had made many appointments before, but Boss Zhong refused on the excuse of poor health.
Later, for the sake of the old chairman, Boss Zhong reluctantly met Pei Donglai a few times, but each time he did not have a long chat.
Pei Donglai racked his brains on choosing a gift. Boss Zhong does not smoke, but he drinks wine. However, he has a wine cellar at home, and the wine in his collection can be said to be difficult to buy on the market. The wine given by others is simply insignificant in his eyes. Not worth mentioning.
Not to mention giving money and gold bars. He already has a lot of wealth. Once he gives it away, he is likely to be kicked out.
After much thought, Pei Donglai decided to take the bacon sent from his hometown during the Chinese New Year. Firstly, it was quite special. Secondly, the quality of the bacon from his hometown was really good. It was a green food and could not be eaten here in Jiangcheng.
Pei Donglai arrived at 10 o'clock in the morning, and the housekeeper greeted him with a smile: "Chairman Pei is here."
"Is Mr. Zhong at home?"
"Wait a minute, I'm going to make an announcement."
After more than 10 minutes, a girl came over. She exuded a sense of heroism and radiance in her beauty. She was really as beautiful as spring plum blossoms blooming on snow, and she was as divine as autumn husk covered with frost. Her cheeks were melting, her eyes were sparkling, and the moon was shining. Hanjiang, aged twenty-seven.
A short leather jacket on the upper body, black boots on the lower body of tight pants, and a tight sweater underneath. The black outfit and slender figure are full of coolness.
"Pei Donglai, what are you here for?"
"Zhong Lan, when did you come back?"
This is Boss Zhong's daughter Zhong Lan. Pei Donglai has met her before, but Zhong Lan has a cold personality and seldom speaks. Once he speaks, he always speaks golden words.
"You didn't answer my question." Zhong Lan blocked Pei Dong from coming.
"I'm here to see Mr. Zhong."
Zhong Lan said disdainfully: "Is it about the election?"
Pei Donglai did not deny it, "Yes, I also came to visit Mr. Zhong at the same time."
"My dad is still busy right now, I'm afraid he doesn't have time to see you," Zhong Lan said expressionlessly.
"It's okay. Just make peace with it now that it's here. I'll just wait." Pei Donglai looked calm.
Zhong Lan took Pei Donglai from the yard into the living room. Passing by the garden, he saw Mr. Zhong digging the ground, probably planting flowers.
Pei Donglai wanted to go over and say hello, but Zhong Lan stopped him, "I just said, my dad is still busy."
Come to the living room.
"You can sit down wherever you like. I'm busy and I don't have time to accompany you. If you have anything to do, just ask the butler," Zhong Lan said as she walked upstairs.
When he stepped onto the stairs, Zhong Lan turned around and said, "Don't disturb the old man."
Pei Donglai nodded and sat for more than 20 minutes. Mr. Zhong was still digging the floor. Pei Donglai sat bored and asked the housekeeper, "Can I go to your study?"
Pei Donglai has been here before and knows that Mr. Zhong has collected many good books. This is a good place to kill boredom.
"Chairman Pei, it's time for lunch," the butler said with a smile.
Pei Donglai looked at the time and saw that it was already past 12 o'clock. It seemed that reading here was very time-consuming.
When he came to the living room and saw no one, Pei Dong came and asked, "Where are Mr. Zhong and Miss Zhong?"
"Oh, Mr. Zhong just ate and went to take a lunch break. The lady doesn't want to eat. You can eat it and see what else is missing. I'll ask the kitchen to cook it," the housekeeper said politely.
Although he felt disrespected, Pei Donglai could understand that Mr. Zhong was like this. He could greet guests well without meeting him. Zhong Lan also followed his father in this regard.
After a simple meal, the butler said: "Chairman Pei, you must be very busy. Why don't you go back first? Mr. Zhong has a long lunch break."
The housekeeper tactfully issued an order to expel the guest, but Pei Donglai pretended not to understand and said, "I'm fine today, I'll wait."
The housekeeper had no choice but pointed to the guest room and said, "If you are tired, go inside and rest."
Pei Donglai was not sleepy and walked into the study again, because time passed faster here.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. Zhong walked into the study room and asked, "Chairman Pei, is the book good?"
Pei Donglai stood up and said, "Mr. Zhong, have you rested? I'm sorry for disturbing you."
"Waiting from morning to afternoon, is it very annoying?"
"No, I took the opportunity to read some books and benefited a lot. Thank you Mr. Zhong."
Pei Donglai followed Mr. Zhong to the living room, and the two of them sat down slowly.
Mr. Zhong knew the purpose of Pei Dong's visit and asked, "How are you preparing?"
Pei Donglai didn't dare to make any detours for a person with such profound knowledge as Mr. Zhong, and said first, "I need some advice from Mr. Zhong."
Mr. Zhong laughed, "I'm just an idler. I can't do anything except plant flowers and grass. You've found the wrong person."
"Mr. Zhong, you are too humble. The younger generation can learn from you."
At this time, Zhong Lan came downstairs, sat next to his father, and said, "Pei Donglai, if you are seeking votes, I advise you not to waste your time."
Pei Donglai smiled and said, "If Mr. Zhong has a candidate in mind, I will fully support him. I believe in your vision."
Mr. Zhong laughed again, "Xiao Pei, when Mr. Li was here, I heard him mention you and said that you had good abilities. After he left, I also saw that you managed the company very well. As directors, we, very happy".
"Thank you, Mr. Zhong. To be honest, after the old chairman left, I rushed to sell things. It was a dark time. I really didn't know what to do. Fortunately, I survived."
"Okay, Xiao Pei, it's almost dinner time anyway, you stay to eat."
Zhong Lan said: "I see you brought a few pieces of something dark. Can you eat them?"
Pei Donglai: "Mr. Zhong, Miss, that's bacon and green food from my hometown. How about I show you my skills?"
"I told you first, if it doesn't taste good, I won't eat it. Don't say I won't give you face," Zhong Lan said frankly.
"Don't worry, Miss Zhong, I won't let you down." After saying this, Pei Donglai walked into the kitchen.
Pei Donglai planned to make steamed bacon and then stir-fry two dishes with the bacon.
While Pei Donglai was cooking, Zhong Lan walked into the kitchen and said, "Pei Donglai, let me tell you the truth. My dad has decided to abstain. Are you still in the mood to cook?"
