Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 585 Chatting by the Qinhuai River
When we arrived in Chuzhou, we found that the CZ municipal government attached great importance to this meeting. There were welcome banners everywhere on both sides of the street, as if the National Games were going to be held here.

After entering the urban area, after registration, we were immediately led to the hotel by a special person. All the formalities were completed for us. Each person had a printed brochure. The process of the meeting, the specific time of the arrangement, and the location were clearly stated. written.

Lin Jiasheng said with emotion: "Do you know why you chose Chuzhou? Choose a small place, and the city government attaches great importance to it, and treat it as a big event. If you put it in Nanjing, what the hell will you do!?"

I nodded and said, "The city government of CZ is also smart. Knowing that we are the God of Wealth, maybe it will build a production base here if it gets hot. This is a great opportunity to drive GDP!"

Lao Feng looked at the empty wasteland and said, "Invest in building a factory here? Where does the labor force come from? What about transportation? No matter how good the policies are, the economic environment here cannot be supported!"

I shook my head and said: "As long as there is a leader who understands the truth, these are not problems at all. How many people can you use for a factory, and the permanent population of a city must have 600 million people, which is not enough for you. Not to mention the traffic, where are the highways everywhere now? You are not transporting the space shuttle, what is the inconvenience? Are you scared by the factory in Hunan? It is different now, the times are different , Whoever can introduce funds will be the hero!"

The meeting was scheduled to start at [-] o'clock in the morning of the next day. Perhaps we were representatives of important manufacturers, and people followed us wherever we went.

I asked a beautiful receptionist who received us, "What's your name?"

The receptionist smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, you can just call me Xiao Zhang."

I nodded and said, "Comrade Xiao Zhang, you don't have to follow us all the way. We can go out for activities by ourselves at night, and we have a car. You can ask the driver to get off work!"

Xiao Zhang said in embarrassment: "Mr. Chen, don't embarrass me. Our leader said that we must receive the whole process. If you are dissatisfied with anything, we will all be punished!"

Lao Feng asked another receptionist beside him in puzzlement: "How do you assign them? One receptionist for each manufacturer? Are you in charge of Yingke?"

The receptionist beside him nodded and said, "Yes, I am the receptionist in charge of Yingke, you can call me Xiao Wang!"

Lao Feng joked: "Then you still don't have enough manpower, you should send a receptionist to each of you as long as you are a representative of the conference. Although Lao Lin and I belong to a group company, the companies we represent are different. You didn't do a good job. what!"

Xiao Wang obviously didn't know that Lao Feng was teasing her, so he hurriedly asked: "Really? We really don't know about this, then I will report to our leader right away, and I will send you a receptionist right away, and arrange for you to be alone." s room!"

Lin Jiasheng glared at Old Feng, and then said kindly: "Don't listen to his nonsense, the three of us can share a room!"

Xiao Zhang immediately objected: "What can we do? We have already booked the room, and it will be empty if you don't stay!"

I nodded and said, "I just share a room with myself, and I don't live with them. These two snore, it's more terrifying than a magnitude [-] earthquake. I want to have a meeting tomorrow full of energy!"

In the evening, since the two receptionists were inseparable, we couldn't go out, so we drank tea and chatted in the lobby of the hotel.

Originally, I just wanted the three of us to have a quiet drink of tea, who knows that there are too many acquaintances.

Mr. Luo was the first to see us. He also brought two people with him. When he saw us, he rushed over and complained to me: "What's the matter with you? We agreed to come here together. Why did you come here with them?" They came together, we belong to the same company, they are reactionaries and hostile forces, why don’t you distinguish between inside and outside?”

Old Feng snorted and said, "What are you doing with such a loud voice? I don't know if this is a public place?" Then he pointed at me and said, "If he is the imperial army, you are at best the Japanese and puppet army. Second devil, look at you as a traitor." What a head!"

Mr. Luo said angrily: "What's wrong with my traitorous head? I have hair, how about you? You don't grow a few hairs on your head, so you're extremely smart? Sure enough, a wise mind doesn't grow hair!"

The receptionist next to Mr. Luo didn't know what was going on, so he persuaded him a little scared: "Mr. Luo, the room has been arranged for you. Why don't you go up and see if you're satisfied?"

Mr. Luo waved his hand and said, "Wherever they live, I will live next door to them. I don't want other rooms!"

Old Feng snorted and said, "Why are you so close to us? Want to eavesdrop on our company's secrets?"

President Luo pursed his lips and said, "Your company has a fart secret. If I want to know, I already know it! Isn't it, President Chen?"

I hurriedly avoided suspicion and said, "Old Luo, don't talk nonsense, I have never inquired about their company's secrets, and I will definitely not tell you!"

Old Feng smiled and said, "I'll give you the guts, you don't even dare! Go up and change your clothes, I don't know, I thought you just came back from planting rice seedlings, why are you covered in dirt and mud?"

Mr. Luo smiled and said: "I just saw corn planted on the side of the road. I haven't seen it for many years. I'm kind. I just broke two of them and fell into the pit!"

The three of us laughed.

Mr. Luo introduced a young man behind him to us: "I just talked to you, but I forgot to introduce it. This is the dog Luo Songtang!"

Old Feng burst out laughing and said, "Nephew, there's no other meaning, it's just that your father named you a foreign soup, don't you hate him?"

Luo Songtang said very politely: "Uncle Feng, there is a reason for my name. My father's surname is Luo, and my mother's surname is Song. They hope that I can be an upright person, so they call me Luo Songtang. I asked my dad to bring me here to experience it, and I hope I can learn more with all my uncles!"

Old Feng gave a thumbs up and said, "Your son can talk a lot, and he looks energetic. Is he his own?"

Lin Jiasheng scolded: "Have you already joked? Is the child still here?"

Mr. Luo laughed loudly and said: "Mr. Lin, it's okay. I just like Lao Feng's temper. If you don't talk, you won't be noisy or lively. Look who I've talked to. Those who can say these words are relatives! Ah Tang , These are the uncles I often tell you about, they are all elites in the industry, and I have to rely on them to take care of them in the future!"

I stood up, shook hands with Luo Songtang politely and said, "Hi, I'm Fade Chen!"

Mr. Luo patted me and said, "What kind of wolf with a big tail are you pretending to be? Don't scare our children!"

I immediately said with a playful smile: "Don't say it, what Lao Feng said is really right, this child really doesn't look like you, which sister-in-law?"

Mr. Luo saw his son's face change, heyed and said to the receptionist: "You guys lead him to the room first, I will go up by myself in a while!"

Luo Songtang said goodbye to us very politely, and got on the elevator with the receptionist.

Mr. Luo sat next to me, asked for a cup of tea, sighed and said to us: "This kid is good at everything, but his face is too small and too introverted. If we made a few more jokes just now, I think he will have to change his face." , you say, why is he not like me at all?"

Lao Feng laughed loudly and said, "Let me be right? Lao Luo, don't take it too seriously, you can't blame sister-in-law for this!"

I laughed and scolded: "You're not done yet, Lao Luo is talking about the business, the child's education!"

Old Feng said angrily: "When it comes to children's education, do you know a hammer? You're not even married!"

I retorted: "I'm not married, but when it comes to educating children, I still have a say. Did I educate Guizai? How is it now? A top student at the Central Conservatory of Music! Xu Yue's girl is following me now, why? So? Now I am obedient and sensible! And..." Thinking of Dong Zihao, I didn't continue.

Old Feng said dissatisfiedly: "Guizai has something to do with you. He is the root of Mr. Lin. That girl Xu Yue is well educated. It is purely due to Shengnan. Do you think we don't know about your family? Son, we all know that, why don't you mention Dong Zong's son?"

I asked strangely: "How do you know?"

Old Feng smiled and said, "You don't know, there is a spy in your family now in our company?"

I snorted and cursed: "Yaoyang's broken mouth is like a colander, every day there is no one to control the door!"

Old Feng snorted and said, "What do you mean? You have to hide everything from us now!"

I hurriedly explained: "No, Dong always doesn't want people to know about his son. No one has known about his son these years. It's not good to spread it from me!"

Lao Feng said with a guarantee: "Don't worry, my mouth, Lao Feng, is stricter than that of the underground party, and it can stand the test of alcohol!"

Mr. Luo obviously knew that I didn't like to let him know, so he immediately changed the subject and said, "Speaking of the alcohol test, I'm really a bit greedy for alcohol, let's go, let's go for a drink?"

Lin Jiasheng looked outside and said, "This hotel is quite luxurious, but the surrounding area is deserted, where can I go for a drink?"

Old Feng immediately came to the spirit and said: "Nanjing, Qinhuai River flower boat!"

I shook my head and said, "It takes more than an hour to drive. Who will drive? I won't drive. I'm so sleepy!"

Mr. Luo waved his hand and said, "I don't know how to drive!"

Old Feng pushed his high glasses and said, "I dare not drive at night!"

Lin Jiasheng asked helplessly: "Are you really going? I'm not familiar with the road! Besides, what should I do when I come back? I can't just drive for you? I don't need to drink?"

We looked at the receptionist Xiao Zhang behind us together, and Xiao Zhang blushed and said, "Just now I asked the driver to get off work, if you don't mind, you can take my car, it's too small!"

Her car is more than a little smaller, a Mazda 3, the tall and burly old Feng hurriedly shook his head and said, "Let's drive our car!"

Xiao Zhang wondered: "Leaders, your cars are too expensive. I don't have the skills, so I dare not drive them!"

I smiled and said: "It's okay, these few are rich and powerful local rich people, as long as they are okay, they can drive their cars casually, and if they break down, they will have a car! You will definitely not ask you to pay for it!"

In fact, it is not a luxury car, but a 7-seater Odyssey. Because the car is relatively long, it has been reversed several times just by reversing. Now Feng is really worried, and said in a low voice: "The car crashed. It's nothing, but don't let us get involved with her car skills."

I glared at Old Feng and said: "Don't talk nonsense, it's not easy for a little girl, and you don't appreciate it when I drive you old things to drink flowers and wine in the middle of the night?"

Reluctantly, we were finally sent to the bank of the Qinhuai River. Unfortunately, there was a light rain, and the boats on the river were not open. We could only sit in a restaurant by the river, drinking in an antique restaurant.

Looking at the scenery by the river outside the window is really beautiful.I was immersed in it all of a sudden, recalled a lot of past events, and lost my mind for a while.

Then I heard Lao Feng and others teasing Xiao Zhang, calling me: "A Fei, do you think I'm right? She still doesn't believe it?"

I turned my head and asked, "What? Is that right?"

Mr. Luo smiled and said: "Old Feng said you were taught by him, you can't live without his teaching today!"

I nodded and said to Xiao Zhang: "Yeah, what's the matter? This is my master. I used to live with him. Without him, I wouldn't be where I am today, even though I'm not so good today?"

Xiao Zhang asked curiously: "You are the boss of Wanzhong, and he is the boss of Yingke. You have always been incompatible with each other. You are competitors. You used to be colleagues, but now you are enemies. He is still your master. Now you Sitting together again, so happy and harmonious, is it too difficult to understand?"

I smiled and explained: "What's so difficult to understand? He is the boss of Yingke now, and I am a wage earner of thousands of people. What conflicts can we have?"

Xiao Zhang asked puzzledly: "Then why don't you go to Yingke to work?"

Old Feng said with a smile: "Don't you think our temple is too small to accommodate a great monk like him? You don't really know who he is, do you?"

Xiao Zhang said suspiciously: "I know you, Mr. Chen, the general manager of Wanzhong, what's wrong?"

Old Feng continued to ask: "What else?"

Xiao Zhang said puzzledly, "What else?"

Old Feng smiled and said, "Is that all? You don't know anything about the rest? Don't you read entertainment headlines and gossip?"

Xiao Zhang was even more puzzled, looked at me, and asked, "Why are you still associated with entertainment news?"

I smiled and said seriously: "Hong Kong's Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards, the award ceremony, haven't you watched it? Can't you see it here?"

Xiao Zhang let out a sigh and said, "Look, we also watch it here. It was held by Radio Television Hong Kong? What does that have to do with you?"

I said shamelessly: "Ah, you have seen it, and forget it!"

Old Feng laughed and said, "I can't make it up anymore? I've seen it!"

I looked out the window and said: "It happened many years ago. When Jacky Cheung went to participate in the No.19 Regional Singer Grand Prix and won No.1, it was because I didn't make it, otherwise there would be nothing wrong with him!"

Xiao Zhang asked seriously: "Then why didn't you go?"

Old Feng laughed loudly and said, "I missed the No. [-] bus!"
