Reborn Scholar

Chapter 79

Meng Shi fell into a drowsy sleep, but was suddenly awakened by the ringing of the phone.

She took out the phone from her pocket and closed her eyes to connect.

"Hey."

"Shishi, are you asleep?" Han Cheng's voice was low and gentle.

Meng Shi's mind paused for a while before he slowly came to his senses, "Oh, what about you?"

"I just came home from the hospital. I was going to look for you, but something delayed me. I'll look for you tomorrow."

"...Okay." Meng Shi said lightly.

"Very sleepy?" Han Cheng asked again.

"Ah."

"Then go to sleep, don't get up so early in the morning."

"Ah."

"Then...bye."

"Goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Meng Shi rubbed the center of his brows, and his mind cleared up a lot, but he just had a headache.

She opened the door and got out of the car. Zou Kai just finished smoking a cigarette and turned to look at her, "Chengzi's phone number?"

"Yeah." Meng Shi nodded and smiled again, "I'm sorry Brother Kai, I accidentally fell asleep."

Zou Kai came over to look at her, and stretched out his hand to stroke her hair that was blown by the wind, "I wanted to help you up, but I think you will wake up if I touch you, so I will let you sleep more."

Meng Shi stepped back a little, she was more used to Zou Kai patting her on the shoulder like Tong Yan did, and helping her with her hair, it seemed a little too intimate.Moreover, it will immediately remind her of the scene at the mall in the afternoon...

She didn't see that when she stepped back, Zou Kai's eyes suddenly became much darker.

"Just wake me up. Have I been asleep for a long time? Don't waste your time." Meng Shi laughed.

"will not."

Meng Shi nodded, "Then trouble brother Kai to send me back, I don't know how Sister Junjun is doing. She drinks more than me."

"Don't worry about her, there are people at home, I asked the driver to take her home."

"Oh. Then... I've had a drink, and I have to clean up the mess, so I won't invite Brother Kai to sit up." Meng Shi laughed, "I'll treat Brother Kai to dinner some other day."

Zou Kai's face was pale, "Why are you being so polite, I didn't tell you that you, like Junjun, are like my younger sister. Isn't it normal for a brother to take care of you?"

"Yes, I was being stingy." Meng Shi immediately apologized, "Then I won't say thank you. Goodbye Brother Kai, I'll go up first."

"it is good."

Zou Kai stood beside the car, watched Meng Shi go upstairs, and lit another cigarette.

Until he saw the lights of an apartment upstairs turned on, he finished smoking the cigarette in his hand, got in the car and left, leaving a lot of cigarette butts behind.

After leaving Jinhua Apartment, Zou Kai drove directly to Century Mall.

Shen Xin was not there, Zou Kai directly asked the person in charge to retrieve the surveillance video of a certain floor of the mall at a certain time in the afternoon, and watched it alone.

After reading it, Zou Kai was silent.

After taking a shower, Meng Shi went straight to bed.

I was very sleepy at first, but after taking a bath, I became sober and couldn't fall asleep.

Meng Shi felt that his state was ridiculous.

She couldn't help but gently pressed the position of her heart.

Han Cheng went to see his mother, his mother was indeed ill, he would not lie to her.As for why he appeared in the shopping mall intimately with a young girl, there are many reasons to explain it.

However, what Meng Shi couldn't let go of was that she would never be wrong about that girl's appearance.Regardless of the relationship between Han Cheng and that girl, that girl definitely looked at Han Cheng with admiration, not the way a sister would look at a brother or a friend would look at a friend.

And Meng Shi always believed that there are no pure friends between men and women.

She, Tong Yan, and Zou Kai are all partners. In addition, Meng Shi thinks that the biggest relationship between her and Tong Yan, Zou Kai, and Zhong Qinnian is that they are Han Cheng's brothers who grew up together.It doesn't really have a deep relationship with her.

That's why what Zou Kai said last time, once she and Han Cheng had an affair, those people would definitely stand by Han Cheng's side, so there was no need to think too much about it.

Meng Shi couldn't help but smile wryly.

She believed that the relationship between that girl and Han Cheng was definitely not ordinary.

Han Cheng is not the kind of person who likes to flirt with women. His status and personal charm make him often surrounded by many girls, but Han Cheng is very straightforward in this regard and has not caused her any trouble at all.This is also the prerequisite for her willingness to trust Han Cheng and try with Han Cheng.

But the girl he saw in the mall in the afternoon was different. Han Cheng also treated her very affectionately, allowing the girl to hold his arm without any rejection.

So is my sister.

Besides, that girl is definitely not Han Cheng's biological sister, no younger sister looks at her brother with that kind of eyes.

To a man, it might not be felt, but as a woman, Meng Shi could see it very clearly, and would never admit it.

Such a relationship is the most difficult to deal with.

That girl might have been childhood sweethearts with Han Cheng, and Han Cheng might just think that the two of them are used to it, it's no big deal, and he doesn't think the girl has any plans for him...

But often this is what hurts the most.

If it was other women, it didn't matter if it was because of Han Cheng's family background or because of his money, Meng Shi thought that Han Cheng would simply dismiss those women.

But if it is a childhood sweetheart who grew up together, things are not so simple.

With the love from childhood, no matter what, I will never make that girl too sad.

Meng Shi could even guess that if Han Cheng knew that the girl was in love with him, he would try to persuade her with nice words, even mentioning that he had a girlfriend.

But will that girl give up so easily?
There is no need to think about this question at all.

Meng Shi sighed, what she wanted was a plain but flowing relationship, not to be on guard all the time, being challenged by women who popped up from time to time...

Feelings are the most difficult thing to stand up to.

Temporary heartache may be able to make up, but in the long run, the rift will be too big to be repaired.

Inadvertently hurting someone is far more hurtful than having a good fight.

If she told Han Cheng bluntly, I don't like you like this, in Han Cheng's opinion, it might be making a fuss over a molehill, and he would feel that he has nothing to do with that girl, and he has been used to it since childhood.

But if she doesn't say it, she will be very unhappy.In that case, this relationship will be meaningless to her. What she wants is a normal life, not a burden.

Meng Shi never wanted to let himself fall to that point. When he saw his man appearing with other women, he still needed to go up and ask what was their relationship and why they were together.

In her opinion, there is no rival in love in this world.

For a woman, as long as your man loves you, you have no rival in love; and if you have a rival in love, there is only one reason, that is, he doesn't love you anymore.Since he doesn't love you anymore, you are no longer a rival in love to other women, but at best a stumbling block.

If it's the latter, Meng Shi doesn't think it's necessary to redeem, he doesn't love you anymore, so what do you want to redeem?

Han Cheng, oh Han Cheng, please don't let me down.I am willing to trust you, but are you worthy of my trust?
Originally thought that she might not be able to sleep, but it seemed that her heart was still very strong.After thinking about it for a while, I fell asleep.

Of course, it could also be the effect of alcohol.

In fact, Meng Shi has a very strange problem, that is, he wants to sleep after drinking.

She wasn't drunk, but she just wanted to sleep.When she was at KTV, she would definitely not be able to fall asleep because she sang and danced, but when she calmed down a bit, she would feel sleepy, just like she fell asleep when she got into Zou Kai's car.

It's the same at this moment, after taking a shower just now, she was obviously not sleepy at all, but she fell asleep again when she said she was asleep.

When I opened my eyes in the morning, the sky was already bright.

Meng Shi didn't think he was hangover, but his toothache and headache must be due to getting angry.

Get up and take a shower.

Opening the door, Meng Shi was stunned for a moment when he saw the person sitting in the living room reading a newspaper.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Han Cheng smiled and came over to pull her.

Meng Shi was pulled over by him, sat down on the sofa, nodded, "Well, it's dawn."

That's right, no dreams, very comfortable sleep.

Because she cleaned herself up before going to bed last night, got up early and took a shower before coming out, so she didn't smell of alcohol, and Han Cheng didn't notice it either.

"Eat breakfast. The steamed stuffed bun I brought you, but I'm afraid it's a little cold. I didn't expect you to sleep so late today. I'll go and heat it up."

After saying that, Han Cheng got up to heat up the steamed buns.

Meng Shi looked at the time, it was already past eight o'clock, it was indeed a bit late for sleeping.

"How is Auntie feeling?"

"It's an old problem, and it doesn't hurt so much anymore, but the doctor doesn't let her move more. She sits too much on weekdays, and she is prone to lumbar disc herniation." Han Chengdao, "Don't worry, someone at home will take care of her."

Meng Shi nodded and said nothing more.

On the contrary, Han Cheng thought for a while and said, "Shishi, after a while, can you come with me to see my parents?"

Meng Shi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It's still early."

"It's getting late!" Han Cheng immediately looked aggrieved, "Shishi, I'll be old in a few years."

"..." Meng Shi couldn't help pursing his lips, and looked at Han Cheng with a half-smile.

Yes, he will be old in a few years.And she is still young, and she still has time to observe and observe.

"Han Cheng, I don't know what kind of person you are. The previous understanding was just as an ordinary friend. Now I don't know if you can be a good boyfriend. So, don't worry. Besides, I It's not yet my birthday, and it's still far from the legal age of marriage." Meng Shi said with a smile.

Han admitted that he looked at her sincerely, "Now do all the preparations, and when you graduate, you will be able to get married directly when you are of age. In fact, in real time, I would rather you go to country M to get married with me now."

The corner of Meng Shi's mouth twitched, this man was really thinking about beauty.

"No, I'm only 20 years old after graduation. The country advocates late marriage and late childbearing, and we must respond to the country's call. Besides, after graduating from a bachelor's degree, this degree is a bit low. It is not worthy of our high-end and classy Mr. Han. If you want to study for a Ph.D., you might as well graduate with a master's degree. Now women are advocated for independence and self-improvement. Well, after graduating with a master's degree, you have to work for a few years before you talk about marriage..."

Meng Shi said it so easily that Han Cheng's face turned green.

After laughing for a while, Jiang Lei called one after another, Han Cheng was helpless.

"Go to work, I have to go to the company later."

Han Cheng nodded, "I probably don't have time at noon, let's have dinner together in the evening."

"Ah."

There is indeed something wrong with Meng Shi going to the company.

On the high-speed matter, I finally reached an agreement with Province S.However, many construction companies were unwilling to cooperate with Meng Shi's bidding requirements.

Because Meng Shi not only needs various qualifications of the construction company, but also asks them to sign a letter of guarantee, and also asks foreign testing agencies to inspect. If it is found to be unqualified during the construction process, the contract must be terminated at any time and demand compensation. Yes, there really shouldn't be too many restrictions!

There are not too few companies in China that can meet Meng Shi's requirements, but the problem is that these large construction companies have a lot of work, and they can't finish the work. Because of the name of these construction companies, many developers ask to come to them Sign the contract, so how could those construction companies agree to these harsh conditions of Meng Shi?
Tang Jintian is negotiating with Longteng, a subsidiary of Chengyu Group.

This is also what Meng Shi requested. In business, there is no need to use Han Cheng's influence. He is unwilling to take over the project. If he insists on taking over the project, it will be boring.

As for Long Teng, he was indeed unwilling to accept Sheng Shi's job.Therefore, at this moment, Shengshi is facing the situation of not being able to find a suitable engineering company.

Meng Shi went here because he wanted to discuss this issue with Tang Jintian.

When it came to Shengshi, although many people in Shengshi didn't know the big boss Meng Shi, but the receptionist was asked to recognize the person first on the first day of work.

Don't care about anything else, just follow the rules, but Meng Shi must remember clearly.

Although the front desk didn't know who Meng Shi was, he knew that Meng Shi was the president's most important thing. Whenever he came, no matter what the president was doing, he would inform him immediately.

In many cases, there is no need for Meng Shi to go there at all, as long as Ling Mo is there.

But Ling Mo hasn't come back yet after going out of town, Meng Shi took a taxi here by himself.

When the receptionist saw Meng Shi, he immediately greeted her and took her to the company's high-level elevator.

When the elevator reached the fifth floor, a few more people came in.

One of them wore the company's nameplate on his chest. When the front desk saw him, he immediately greeted him with a smile, "Manager Lin."

"Xiao Wei, who is this?"

The front desk lady smiled and said, "This is the president's guest."

Manager Lin nodded, looked at Meng Shi strangely, and smiled, "I'm afraid the president doesn't have time. I called the president just now, and he seems to be busy."

Xiao Wei smiled, "I don't know about that. But the president told me that if this young lady comes, she can see him anytime."

"Oh?" Manager Lin was even more puzzled.

Meng Shi nodded slightly at Manager Lin, but didn't say much.

Manager Lin, after thinking about it, said to the middle-aged man beside him, "President Jin, let's go up and have a look. If there is a chance, see if the president can give you a few minutes."

The middle-aged man nodded.

Meng Shi didn't pay much attention.

On the top floor, the receptionist took Meng Shi to the secretariat.

Tang Jintian's secretary in charge of the reception immediately stood up when he saw Meng Shi, "Miss Meng, please wait in the CEO's office first. The CEO is in a meeting, and it should be ready soon."

Meng Shi nodded.

Then, the secretary looked at Manager Lin again, feeling a little helpless, "Manager Lin, what are you..."

Manager Lin smiled, "Secretary Yu, at least tell the president about Mr. Jin's situation. As for whether the president needs it or not, that's the president's business."

Secretary Yu was very helpless, "Manager Lin, you also know that the president is very strict with this qualification. Boss Jin's company does not meet the requirements. Aren't you embarrassing us?"

The middle-aged man sighed, "Forget it, Boss Lin, I also know this is unlikely."

Manager Lin felt a little sorry, "Boss Jin, I'm also to blame."

"Don't say that, you didn't promise me anything. Forget it." The middle-aged man said, turning around and leaving.

Meng Shi's heart moved slightly, "Please wait."

The middle-aged man froze for a moment and stopped.

Meng Shichao asked Secretary Yu, "Is this gentleman meeting Mr. Tang for something?"

Secretary Yu is not Tang Jintian's chief secretary, so he doesn't know Meng Shi's identity.Although he knew that Meng Shi had a good relationship with Tang Jintian, he didn't dare to talk about the company's affairs casually.

Seeing that Secretary Yu was a little embarrassed, Meng Shi said, "Is Special Assistant Sun there? You can ask him for instructions."

Secretary Yu quickly dialed the internal line and briefly explained the situation, and Special Assistant Sun immediately gave instructions.

Immediately afterwards, Secretary Yu told Meng Shi the matter respectfully.

It turned out that the section of expressway invested by Shengtang required bidders to have relevant construction qualifications above grade one.And this Mr. Jin's company currently only has a second-level qualification.

In fact, the so-called highway construction qualification does not mean that the company's technology cannot be achieved, but refers to the scale and experience of the company.The evaluation of this kind of qualification is based on the area of ​​high-grade highways built by the company, the length of bridges or the number of seats, the relevant technical personnel and accounting personnel owned by the company, the registered capital of the company, the settlement income of the past three years, and the equipment owned by the company, etc. for comprehensive assessment.

Therefore, even if a certain company is responsible and serious, if you cannot receive enough projects, complete enough projects, have enough equipment or registered capital, etc., you will not be able to assess high-level qualifications.

And no matter at what time, the project is not something you can pick up as soon as you want.Especially for high-level projects, without connections, it is almost impossible to win the bid.Then you can only contract the project of a certain section of road from other construction companies. No matter how well you do it, it will be the credit of other companies, and you can only get some money.

Meng Shi thought for a while, then looked at Mr. Jin, "Excuse me, did you bring the materials?"

That Boss Jin glanced at Meng Shi suspiciously, and his expression was not good.

There's no way, Meng Shi's appearance looks too unconvincing, and people who don't know it think Sheng Tang is perfunctory.

Even if the president doesn't want to meet, he wouldn't just drag a little girl to meet him. Humiliation is not such a humiliation.

That Mr. Jin resisted not turning his face.

On the contrary, Secretary Yu had a wink, and hurriedly said, "Manager Lin, Mr. Jin, just now Tezhu Sun said that this Ms. Meng can make all decisions."

As soon as this remark came out, Manager Lin was surprised, and so was Mr. Jin.

Everything is decided?
These four words are really not casual.

Manager Lin is from Tang Dynasty, he doesn't even know this Ms. Meng who can make "everything decision", let alone Mr. Jin.

Meng Shi smiled, "Mr. Jin, I will show Mr. Tang your documents."

With that said, that President Jin's face softened, and he took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Meng Shi.

"Then trouble this lady, although our company's qualification rating is not enough, but the quality of the projects under my Jin Da can definitely be assured."

Meng Shi didn't say much, his eyes stayed on the document, and he was attracted by the company name on the document.

Tongda Road and Bridge Engineering Company.

She couldn't help but glanced at the middle-aged man again.

This is the private wholly-owned road construction company with special qualifications a few years later?

When bean curd projects appeared in many parts of the country, it was the boss of this Tongda company who announced in a high-profile manner that there would never be bean curd projects in any project undertaken by his company. All units or individuals are welcome to check and verify. If false, the company is willing to bear all responsibilities.

At that time, because there were many bridge collapse accidents in succession, and there were cracks in the roads that had just been built or even not opened to traffic, people had a huge crisis of trust in these infrastructure projects, and the boss of Tongda stood up to make such a guarantee. The son wins over the wind direction of public opinion.Tongda's stock price has also been rising all the way, and the scenery is boundless.

It is said that some enthusiasts invited foreign inspection units to conduct inspections on Tongda's projects, and the results fully verified the words of Tongda's boss. For a while, Tongda almost became the leader in domestic construction, and many super-large, old-fashioned, super-qualified construction companies They have all been compared, and some netizens even gave Tongda the reputation of conscience project.

More curious netizens uncovered the development history of Tongda. From an unknown road construction company to a company with special qualifications, the brief history of Tongda's development is a wonderful novel with many climaxes!

Meng Shi was not very interested in these things. At first, it was only because Tongda's exposure rate was too high, so she remembered the company's name.

This turned out to be the mastery that countless people will admire in the future?

Meng Shi couldn't help but look at Mr. Jin again.

It was at this moment that Tang Jintian came out after the meeting.

He hurriedly walked towards Meng Shi, "Have you been here for a long time?"

Meng Shi shook his head, "Just arrived for a while. By the way, I think this President Jin is very sincere. You might as well give him some time, and it would be nice to hear why a road and bridge engineering company with a second-level qualification certificate has the confidence to undertake it." A prosperous project."

Tang Jintian was taken aback for a moment, but quickly nodded.He knew that Meng Shi was definitely not aimless.

"Is Mr. Jin? Sorry, I'm really too busy here. There is no way to use qualifications to screen companies. Please don't be offended by Mr. Jin." Tang Jintian said with a smile.Although he said sorry, it didn't give people the feeling of lowering his posture.

Jin Da was pleasantly surprised, and quickly said, "How could it be, thank you Mr. Tang for giving our company this opportunity."

"Then talk to me in my office." Tang Jintian smiled, "Secretary Yu, bring some cups of tea."

During the formal conversation, Meng Shi only listened in and did not interrupt.

After talking for about half an hour, everything that should be said was finished.

Tang Jintian nodded, "I have to say that your eloquence is very good. How about this, Mr. Jin, I need to discuss it here, and I will notify you as soon as there is news. How about it? Here is my business card."

Special assistant Sun immediately sent a business card.

Tang Jintian's attitude fully showed that he was not just being perfunctory, and that Mr. Jin happily accepted the business card.

"Manager Lin, help me see Mr. Jin off."

"Yes."

Only Tang Jintian, Special Assistant Sun, and Meng Shi were left in the office.

"From time to time, this company is okay in contracting road construction or mechanical and electrical engineering, but I still don't feel at ease about subgrade construction, bridges and tunnels. They don't have enough experience." Tang Jintian said.

Meng Shi nodded, "Brother Tian, ​​look at their company's information, you can ask someone to inspect the section of the project they have completed to see if they can meet our requirements. You also know that companies like them are generally very It is difficult to win the bid for those large-scale subgrade projects. Anyway, we don’t have many choices now. If the company is really capable, it doesn’t have to be too rigid about qualifications. If Tongda can never contract large-scale projects, then they are considered quality No matter how good the reputation is, it is impossible to upgrade the qualifications."

Tang Jintian thought for a while, "Okay. I'll find someone to investigate in detail. I hope they have this ability!"

Meng Shi laughed, "I came here today to talk about this, but now that there is this company, don't be too nervous."

"Your requirements are too high. Before, many companies with first-level qualifications came to inquire, but they were directly scared back by our requirements."

"Hmph, is my requirement high? I don't want to spend a lot of money to build a road that has quality problems not long after it is opened to traffic. There is a bridge over 200 meters in the road in S province. I don't want to one day, I When I was driving over that bridge, the bridge collapsed. I remember there seems to be a tunnel, what if I drive through the tunnel one day and the tunnel collapses?"

"..." Tang Jintian was speechless, "How is this possible."

Meng Shi pouted, "How is it impossible?"

Tang Jintian smiled wryly, "You really... Everything starts from yourself!"

I ate outside with Tang Jintian at noon, and after the meal, Meng Shi went back to the apartment.

In the evening, Han Cheng called, "Shishi, go to Junlan at night, Yanzi is back, let's try the dishes. I'll be there in half an hour."

"Ah."

Meng Shi changed into a white shirt with chiffon and puff sleeves, a Peter Pan collar, and delicate lace cuffs. His lower body was a pleated floral skirt and a pair of rattan sandals on his feet.This outfit looks fresh.It's just that the skirt is a bit short, and I have to wear safety pants inside.

Just after changing clothes, the doorbell rang.

Meng Shi was about to open the door when he heard a soft voice, "Brother Cheng, who do you want me to meet? Are there any friends of yours that I don't know?"

Han Cheng's voice was very gentle, "You'll know when you see it."

Meng Shi's hand paused, but he quickly opened the door.

"Shishi." A look of amazement flashed in Han Cheng's eyes, and he immediately took her hand, "Gege, this is my girlfriend, you can just call her sister-in-law from now on."

Then, he said to Meng Shi, "Shishi, this is Ziegge, you can just call her Gege from now on. Her mother is my second aunt, and they are all in the same family."

Meng Shi was taken aback.

But before she said anything, Zigger pouted, "Brother Cheng, I was adopted by my mother, okay?"

Han Cheng smiled and pinched her face, "Okay, you have to emphasize it when you meet someone. When you were young, didn't you hate people saying you were adopted?"

Zigger snorted, looked Meng Shi up and down, frowned and said to Han Cheng, "Brother Cheng, you didn't just find this woman to deal with your aunt, did you?"

Han Cheng's face darkened, "How are you talking? Call sister-in-law quickly."

Zigger curled his lips, "I don't want to call. She's not married to you, so I won't be fooled by you. If you call people casually, Auntie will definitely not like me if she finds out."

Han Cheng had no choice but to say, "You girl. That's fine, just do as you please. Shishi, don't bother with this girl, she's just a little lunatic."

Meng Shi smiled slightly, "Yes."

"Okay, let's go, it's getting late." Han Cheng reached out to hold Meng Shi's hand.

"Okay." Meng Shi pulled out his hand and locked the door.

And Zigger had already embraced Han Cheng's arm, staggering and acting like a baby.Where Han Cheng could not see, he looked at Meng Shi warily.
