Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1144 Welcome Family Banquet
Fatty Wu's happy life was completely disrupted by me. I originally planned to move in the whole family immediately after the renovation of the villa, but because of a phone call from me, everything was postponed. Refused to move in first.

For this matter, he stole a set of mahogany tea trays and a set of blue and white porcelain tea sets from me.

I am still relieved of Fatty Wu's ability to handle affairs. Although I don't understand financial matters, I believe that Fatty Wu will not say that he can help Ren Guohua solve all problems, but it will definitely be useful if he goes there. By the way, I can also know Click on Ren Guohua's other industries.

Changchun in Northeast China in September is not September in the south. Spring flowers are blooming everywhere, and the ground is covered with fallen leaves. The early morning chill has begun to slowly tear away the face of summer.

When we landed, Xiao Wei was already waiting for us in the pick-up hall. This look of anticipation, as if we were brothers who had been separated for many years, and it seemed that we had waited for the idol I had admired for a long time. A warm hug, followed by a group of relatives and friends behind him, except for my parents, I think the whole family was out.

This stunned Ren Xiaoqi and Wu Xinru next to me, thinking this is my fan club!
The enthusiasm of the Northeast people is really not built, and no matter whether they are willing or not, they just get on the car. My friends are their friends, and my relatives are their relatives.

Ren Xiaoqi and Wu Xinru got on the minibus in a daze, I looked at them and said lightly, "They are all my relatives!"

Ren Xiaoqi opened his mouth and asked, "Where do you have so many relatives?"

I gave him a blank look and replied: "I picked it up on the street! You are asking this, my relatives must be related by blood!"

Ren Xiaoqi smiled and said, "I didn't mean that! You really are a big family!"

Xiao Wei stood in front of the car like a tour guide, holding a microphone and said, "First of all, on behalf of our big Liu family, I welcome Xiao Fei back to his hometown!"

A person with such a thick skin like me was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Thank you! Thank you!"

Then there was a small talk, and I talked to several aunts and uncles one by one.

I was afraid that Ren Xiaoqi would be left out in the cold, so I introduced my family members to him. I believe he must not have remembered any of them, but he knew that the little Wei who spoke in front of the car was still very interested in him, and asked me: " Who is this you?"

I smiled and replied: "My brother-in-law! You also work in the auto industry!"

Ren Xiaoqi asked curiously: "Really? Which company do you work for?"

I thought for a long time and replied: "It seems to be in the Honda sales company!"

Ren Xiaoqi hummed and said: "Foreign-funded enterprises, high income, not bad, not bad!"

I sighed and said, "I heard it's average. I don't know much about the sales of foreign-funded companies. He's okay!"

Ren Xiaoqi asked puzzledly: "Since he is average, why don't you help him?"

I chuckled lightly and said: "One person becomes a fairy, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven? Not everyone needs my help. They are living a good life. Besides, they are often poor. Sometimes, some people don't need us." Help, even if he is in need! Relatives are like this, and so are friends!"

Ren Xiaoqi nodded understandingly and said: "I understand what you mean! All the relatives of our family are in our company, which annoys me too much! At the beginning, when my father started his business, no one was optimistic about my father. No one is willing to help him. Now that the conditions are good, the whole family has come to us. I can’t even name them, and I don’t know what the relationship is. After that, no matter who comes to me, I will just say one word and have no place. Already!"

I sneered: "You are too perfunctory, right? At least you have to find a decent reason!"

Ren Xiaoqi sighed and said: "It's not that I don't want to look for it, it's just that I got annoyed in the end, I don't want to make excuses, and I'm giving them face by saying that I don't have a place. It's relatives, I don't want to look up, I don't want to tear my face, I don't care, it's just that my parents still need to contact them, once these people get benefits, they will worship you like a god every day, but as long as you don't go well They say that there are [-] kinds of bad words at each other, all of which are not the same!"

I snorted coldly and said, "You have a few hundred million yourself. It must be a trivial matter for you to borrow a few million from you. That's what they think! But why didn't they think about it? I earned it myself, and I can spend it however I want. I can lend it to you if I want to, and I won’t lend it to you if I don’t want to! I won’t even lend it to you even if I send beggars! What are relatives? Strangers in a relationship, unless they grew up together, they are not as good as neighbors! I have always been indifferent!"

Ren Xiaoqi looked at a group of enthusiastic relatives in the car, and asked, "It's not like, they seem to be very affectionate to you! Besides, I think your relationship is quite harmonious!"

I laughed and said, "Our relatives are very self-conscious. They usually don't bother me. They always go to my parents! Besides, I don't have any interests with them, so we naturally get along well!"

When the car arrived at the Changchun Hotel, my parents stood at the door and greeted relatives and friends to enter the hotel with red faces.

Seeing that our minibus arrived, they greeted me, but instead of greeting me, they pulled all the relatives who picked me up to the hotel. They didn't ask me until they saw Ren Xiaoqi and Wu Xinru, "Is this the one you brought here?" friend?"

I curled my lips and said, "Do you still remember me? Isn't this a party to welcome me? Why am I an outsider?"

My mother didn't even look at me, she took Wu Xinru's hand and praised: "You see, this girl looks too juicy, tall, and looks like a flower, you don't need to guess to know that she is from the Northeast, yes Bar?"

Wu Xinru hurriedly smiled and said, "No, ma'am, I'm from the Northeast, an authentic Northeast!"

My mother was overjoyed when she heard that: "Northeast people look at you kindly, hey, our Xiaofei is married, otherwise..."

I hurriedly stopped and said: "Mom...don't talk about it, just bring the guests in!"

My mother was not in a hurry, she looked at Ren Xiaoqi again, and I hurriedly said, "Don't look, big boss, everyone who is my friend is a big boss!"

My mother oh-oh said twice: "Okay, okay! There are only customers passing through the door, so hurry up and eat!"

I looked helplessly at Ren Xiaoqi, who smiled understandingly and followed my mother into the room.

The hall was full of guests, and everyone came over and greeted me warmly. Those who knew me and those I didn’t know were like a family.

People from the Northeast pay attention to ostentation. My mother has lived in Guangdong for so many years, but this extravagant and wasteful relationship changed immediately after returning to the Northeast. What, just nodded mechanically and kept smiling.

Even Ren Xiaoqi couldn't help sighing: "Your family is here, it is a big family! There are so many people, when I got married, there were not as many people as you here!"

I forced a smile and said: "I don't know either! Mostly I don't know each other! I went to Guangdong when I was a child, and I haven't been back a few times since I grew up. Except for my uncle who is more familiar, I really don't know anyone else! There is no other way, people are so sophisticated, you have to take care of it!"

Ren Xiaoqi agrees: "That's right, the society in China is like this, and sophistication is indispensable. No matter how high an official you are, no matter how much money you make, it's the same. They all know that you are rich, so they come to support you. Or are you really here to welcome you home?"

I shrugged and said, "I don't know, probably half and half!"

People from the Northeast come to toast in an endless stream. You can handle the toasts from the Northeast people casually. I can bear it after a few glasses, but Ren Xiaoqi can't do it. He knows the truth of the Northeast people. There is a possibility of flipping!
During the period, both Ren Xiaoqi and I noticed two people at the same time. One was the son of my second uncle and grandpa. , he can also be regarded as a distant relative. When it was learned that he was working in the First Automobile Manufacturing Plant now, and he was still a moderate leader, the answer would be revealed.

Another person, not even a relative, was a neighbor of the bungalow I lived in when I was a child. It is said that I played behind his butt every day when I was a child. When he introduced himself, others were bragging for him, and he himself just nodded slightly.

As for whether Ren Xiaoqi and I have the same thoughts, I don’t know.

Because this conference was held at the First Automobile Manufacturing Plant, I also want to know which manufacturers are participating and what are the main topics of the conference?Of course, the most concerned thing is whether Wei Hua will also come to participate?
When I asked about this automobile environmental protection conference, the cousin of our second uncle and grandpa seemed to have no idea at all. If all car companies come to watch the meeting, it will be considered a grand event, right?Although it is not as exciting as the Auto Expo, it is a rare opportunity for the bosses of so many automobile companies to come here. As employees of their Second Automobile Industry Group, there is no reason why they would not know about it.

But this relative of mine, I guess he is the leader, and also the leader of the Management Committee of the Automobile Development Zone. I know a little bit, the leader I call Brother Lin, behaves like a leader, it seems to me the same as before, Like the kid behind him, I patted my shoulder and said, "Xiaofei, this meeting was personally arranged by Director Zheng of the Ministry of State Industry. , In the park, we have increased the number of cleaning staff, made a lot of banners, and kept it secret to the outside world. This is why our work is difficult to carry out! Why are you asking this? I heard from my aunt that you are opening a restaurant in the south Yes? Are you also interested in this? This is not a car seller, you want to buy a car, I have the internal staff price of the car factory, and they are all damaged cars, which can be much cheaper than buying outside!"

I said gratefully: "Brother Lin, I don't want to buy a car, but I just heard about this meeting. Many big bosses came to the meeting to inquire about it for others!"

Brother Lin acted like he was teaching a child a lesson, and said, "You should not inquire about some things. We keep them confidential to the outside world. Documents with Chinese prefixes are not read by ordinary people. In short, you should not ask so many questions!"

I asked very curiously: "Isn't it just an environmental protection meeting? As for it? Keep it a secret? It won't be on the news sooner or later?"

Brother Lin said in a secretive manner; "Is it the same if I knew it earlier or later? This is a commercial secret, and a piece of information may affect tens of millions of business! You don't understand, and you don't know what's going on, anyway. You listen to me, I won't hurt you!"

After speaking, someone came to toast again, and Brother Lin drank it again.

Ren Xiaoqi said to me in a low voice: "What official title is this brother Lin? This is not small? Doesn't he know what you do?"

I shrugged my shoulders and said, "He didn't ask me either. I guess my mother said I run a restaurant, so he thought so!"

Ren Xiaoqi asked again: "I just heard from your relatives that more than half of the people here are employees of the automobile factory!"

I nodded my head and said, "Yes, the automobile factory supports many people!"

Ren Xiaoqi looked curiously at my dad, who was talking to an old man, and asked me, "Why does the old man who talks to your dad look so familiar to me?"

I smiled and said, "That's me, Uncle Zhang. When I was a child, my parents always went on business trips, so they left me to live with them. The old director of the Jilin Provincial Electronic Technology Research Institute later went to the Provincial Electronics Department and retired."

Ren Xiaoqi slapped his forehead and said: "I remember, Director Zhang! This is a ministerial leader! How did you go so far? This is the person who should be worshiped by God?"

I laughed and said, "Do you think Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger? Powerful people tend to keep a low profile. Like you, if you tell who you are, there will probably be a crowd of people around you. People nowadays are very realistic, Uncle Zhang." After retiring, he has no real power, and no one cares about a retired veteran cadre, he has no use value at all! You didn’t see, even my dad and the others would ignore it!”

Ren Xiaoqi asked curiously: "Is your father also retired from some big leader? Let me tell you, otherwise how could you be so smooth? The second generation of officials!"

I said dissatisfiedly: "This is wronging me. The only time my dad used his relationship was when I graduated and found me a job called Wanzhong. The light is not glued on!"

Ren Xiaoqi laughed and said, "You must have been educated by your father since you were a child, so you can be what you are today. It is impossible for ordinary people!"

I cut it and said: "You are too one-sided!"
