The next morning, Lin Xiaojie called and said that Cao Geqing was back.
Pei Donglai and Wu Jing went to Geqing Company, "Mr. Cao, President Pei and President Wu are here."
"I'm sorry, two presidents, for keeping you waiting for so long," Cao Geqing said politely.
Cao Geqing is of medium height, slightly chubby, wearing glasses, and his face is somewhat similar to Li Zixuan.
"It's okay, we happened to be shopping in Shenzhen," Wu Jing responded.
"Xiaojie, make tea for the two presidents," Cao Geqing said.
After sitting down, Cao Geqing said: "President Pei, I know you are busy, so let's get straight to the point."
"Okay, Mr. Cao, let me start by saying that Jiangdong Bank was founded by the old chairman. It is about to hold a shareholders' meeting. You also know what will happen next. I wonder if anyone with ulterior motives has approached you?"
Hahaha, Cao Geqing laughed, "President Pei, I am a businessman. I only care about whether the dividends are high or not. I am not interested in other things. It doesn't matter who owns the country. The key is to manage it well."
"Mr. Cao, with all due respect, do you have any thoughts on transferring your shares?"
"President Pei, I'm sorry, I have no obligation to answer your question."
During the conversation, Pei Donglai clearly felt that Cao Geqing was a little dissatisfied with the old chairman. He did not give positive answers to the questions raised and gave only ambiguous answers.
After lunch, Pei Donglai and Wu Jing returned to the hotel.
"President Pei, Mr. Cao doesn't seem to care about this issue. I feel like he has some complaints about the old chairman. I'm worried about changes, especially at this juncture."
"It's not that he doesn't care, it's just that he didn't tell us. He must blame the old chairman in his heart. After all, he doesn't get the love of his father like Li Zixuan. He also knows that we are the old chairman's people, so naturally he blames the old chairman. A long dissatisfaction has been spread on us.”
"Then do we still have hope?" Wu Jing asked with concern.
"After all, she is also the son of the old chairman. I believe that he can be where he is today without the strong support of the old chairman. I believe that he will not stand with Zhong Daomou."
"Are we going to look for him again this afternoon?"
"I won't go. The purpose of coming to Shenzhen this time is just to test him. It won't be easy to succeed."
"I'll book a flight back to Jiangcheng."
"Stay a few more days, we have to meet someone else."
"Her mother?"
"You thought of it all."
At noon, Pei Donglai called Zhang Yutong. This time Zhang Yutong answered, "What's wrong? Are you back?" Zhang Yutong asked.
"Not yet, are you not angry anymore? Baby".
"I'm not angry, I was just busy and forgot to answer your call."
"Are you used to being at home alone?"
"I've been back to my house for the past two days."
"Oh, that's fine. I'm worried about you being alone there. I'll pick you up when I get back."
In the evening, Mr. Cao asked Pei Donglai and Wu Jing to have dinner together. Although the work talks did not go smoothly, Mr. Cao was still very polite in terms of reception and arranged for them to be in a high-end restaurant.
At the dinner table, no one talked about work, and they understood each other tacitly.
"President Pei and President Wu, this is your first time in Shenzhen. Now that you are here, stay a few more days. Tomorrow I will arrange for Xiaojie to take you to have fun. I have official duties, so I'm really sorry." After dinner, Cao Geqing said He said politely.
"Mr. Cao, you are too polite. Mr. Lin has already taken us around before, so I won't bother you. I know that your company's business is busy. As the deputy general manager of the company, Mr. Lin also has a lot of work. You don't have to Don’t worry about us, we are planning to go back.”
"Okay, if you're not busy, just stay a few more days. After these two days, I'll accompany you. If something happens, I won't force you." After finishing speaking, Mr. Cao got in the car and left.
After returning to the hotel, Pei Donglai sent a message to Lin Xiaojie: Is it convenient?
After a while, Lin Xiaojie replied: Convenient, do you want a late-night snack?
Pei Donglai walked out of the hotel, found a late-night snack shop, and sent Lin Xiaojie the address.
Half an hour later, Lin Xiaojie arrived.
"What's wrong? Donglai, didn't the conversation go smoothly?" Lin Xiaojie had already guessed what Pei Donglai was thinking.
"Well, is Mr. Cao's mother in Shenzhen?"
"You want to see her?"
"Yes, I want to see her."
Lin Xiaojie remained silent.
"What's wrong? Xiaojie, his mother is not here?"
"Here, but it may be difficult to see her. Mr. Cao grew up in a single-parent family. He is very filial to his mother. I heard that his mother is not in good health, so Mr. Cao does not want outsiders to disturb her."
"Xiaojie, do you have his mother's phone number?"
"Yes, but I guess she won't see you."
"I'm sorry, Xiaojie, I know it's rude to ask you for Mother Cao's phone number, but I can't help it. This matter is very important and it's a helpless move, so I made this decision."
"It's okay, I can give you a call. As for whether she wants to see you, I don't know."
At 10 o'clock the next morning, Pei Donglai called. After a long time, the call was connected, "Who is it?"
a woman asked weakly.
"Auntie, hello! I am Pei Donglai, the president of Jiangdong Bank..." Before he could finish speaking, the other party hung up.
After dialing again, the call could not be connected.
It seems that just like what Lin Xiaojie said, Cao's mother doesn't want to see outsiders.
A few minutes later, Pei Donglai's phone rang, and the caller ID was Mr. Cao.
Pressing answer, without turning on the speakerphone, I heard Mr. Cao's voice, "Pei Donglai, what do you mean? I'm warning you, if you dare to disturb my mother again, I won't let you go."
Before Pei Donglai could explain, Mr. Cao hung up.
This is the same as what Pei Donglai imagined before. Children from single-parent families lack a sense of security, so their thoughts are more sensitive. Once someone touches that point, they will become irritable.
Boys who lack father's love often unconsciously think that they are the man in the family and want to protect their mother, so Pei Donglai can also understand Cao Geqing's behavior.
In the evening, Pei Donglai called Cao Geqing and asked him to have a drink with him. In the end, Cao Geqing came.
After sitting down, Pei Donglai drank three glasses of white wine to express his apology. After these three glasses, it was half a catty. Cao Geqing saw that Pei Donglai's apology was sincere, and his anger subsided a lot.
"President Pei, I was a little impulsive today, I'm sorry." Cao Geqing drank a drink himself.
"Mr. Cao, I'm sorry for disturbing your mother today."
"You can call my mother, which means you already know about my relationship with the old chairman. I won't hide it. I hate Li Zhicheng. Even if he is gone, it can't change my view of him."
"Mr. Cao, I understand how you feel. As an outsider, I cannot comment on your family's affairs. I believe you also know the purpose of my coming to Shenzhen."
"President Pei, I made it very clear when we first met. I am a businessman. In business, I will support whoever does well. Whether it is you or Zhong Lan, it is the same."
"So Zhong Lan has already found you?"
"Yes, she has come to me a long time ago, and I told her the same thing. It's fair."
