me and a divorced housewife

Chapter 135 Father Meng
They took me into a Buick van.

They didn't say a word to me along the way, and I kept wondering who the so-called chairman they were talking about?I don't seem to know people of this level.

I was worried that it was another kidnapping or something, so I sent their license plate numbers to Li Gang, so that if anything happened to me, Li Gang could find them.

But they were very polite and didn't show any disrespect or rudeness to me, and even opened the door for me after parking.

I got out of the car and found that this was not the luxury hotel I imagined, but just an ordinary street restaurant called Jiujiang Home Cooking.There are busy shop assistants outside, steam and oily smoke are everywhere, and the lights inside are dim, making it look dark.What chairman eats here?

I followed them and walked in. The space inside is not very big, just a few tables were simply set up, and there were not many customers, sitting sparsely. Seeing so many people coming in suddenly, they all looked back at us.

They led me to a table where a thin middle-aged man was drinking soup. When he saw us coming, he put down his spoon and looked up with a smile.

I recognized him as soon as he looked up, even though I hadn't seen him before.

"Ma San, you go back first." He raised his hand and said to the mustache.

Mustache nodded, and went out with his subordinates.

The middle-aged man smiled at me and said, "Introduce yourself."

"No need." I said, "You are Mr. Meng, Meng Tingyun's father."

He nodded with a smile and asked, "Where have we met?"

I shook my head and said, "I haven't seen it before, but you and your daughter look alike, and you can tell at a glance."

He laughed, very kindly, and said, "I thought we had met before, the young man has good eyesight."

In fact, it's not because I have good eyesight, but because Meng Tingyun looks exactly like his father.

"Mr. Yu, I'm really sorry to invite you here." He said.

"It's okay, Mr. Meng, just tell me if you have any advice." I said.

He shook his head and said, "I can't talk about advice, but I just want to tell you something. Have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, let's eat together. My hometown is Jiujiang. After so many years, I can't do without this hometown dish. You should try it too, it’s not bad, especially the squab soup they cook here, it goes well with rice.”

As he spoke, he ordered me a pair of bowls and chopsticks and a pot of squab soup without any explanation.Then he started to eat with all his heart, and he ate very sporadically. I looked at it very funny, but Mr. Meng is indeed a man of temperament. With his wealth, the food is so delicious in this kind of place, no one may believe it when he tells it.Although I look down on Meng Tingyun, I have a good impression of her father.

After he finished eating, he looked up and saw that I was looking at him, and laughed, "I'm kidding you, I'm a rural person, I'm afraid I can't change my eating habits."

"Fine." I said. "Mr. Meng doesn't stick to small details, and he looks like a person who does big things."

He tore a stiff roll of paper from the table and wiped his mouth and said, "Don't flatter me, it's not a good habit, I know it's ugly, but when I was a child, I was always hungry in my hometown, and when I had something, I would eat it." Eating quickly, I have developed this habit. Don't just talk, eat."

I nodded, took two bites, and found that the taste was really good. No wonder people said that many delicious food were found in these small roadside restaurants and stalls. It was indeed delicious, and I also ate a lot.

Mr. Meng said with a smile, "You said that I am informal, but it seems that Mr. Yu is also informal."

I laughed, and then I remembered that he must have come to me for something, so I was too busy to eat, so I quickly wiped my mouth and asked, "Mr. Meng, I'm done eating, tell me."

Mr. Meng nodded and said, "It's actually a trivial matter. I know Xiaoyun is in your company now. How is she doing?"

Although I don't like Meng Tingyun very much, but in front of her father, of course I can't say it directly. This is like a teacher facing a child's parents. Every parent hopes to hear the teacher's praise for their child. Seeing their earnest and expectant faces, how can you bear to talk about your child's shortcomings?

"Not bad, very positive and thoughtful," I said.

"Mr. Yu is polite." Mr. Meng smiled, "My daughter, I don't understand her very well. Her mother has been gone since she was a child, and she has always been by my side. I am too busy to take care of her. , people around her dote on her, so she has a lot of problems, and she is too self-centered and too arrogant. This is the reason why I let her go to the grassroots unit to exercise. I want to go to her Arrogant, learn more and come back."

I thought to myself, your idea is good, but you don't know that your daughter has made me suffer.

"Mr. Meng, I have always had a doubt." I said, "I heard that you only have this daughter, Mr. Meng. I'm afraid she will inherit your family business in the future, right? Since you want Xiao Meng to exercise, why don't you let Xiao Meng exercise?" She entered the management of your company, wouldn't this train her better? Would it lay the foundation for future business management?"

Mr. Meng shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Who doesn't know me in these real estates in Binhai? Wherever I send her, they all have to take care of her for my sake. Not to mention that it causes trouble for others, she herself I can't learn anything at all, and I can't achieve my goal. Only a real estate planning company like yours is the most suitable. You can get in touch with real estate marketing, but you don't know her background, so you won't let her. It's good for her, but Speaking of which, Mr. Yu seems to know that she is my daughter before."

I smiled and said, "Mr. Meng, with all due respect, although you are very admirable for starting such a big business from scratch, I'm afraid it's a little simple to think about Xiaomeng. The real estate company knows you. We Although it is Party B, we are serving the real estate, and we will definitely have contacts, so I am afraid that we will not be able to achieve the ideal state where no one knows Xiao Meng, and someone will always know."

Mr. Meng laughed and said, "What you said is also reasonable, so I hope you can hone her more in the company. Don't think about my relationship, just treat her as an ordinary employee. If you have to work overtime, you should work overtime. You should train her." Just train, it will be good for her, and I will thank you very much."

I can see that he is not being polite, but how does he know her as a daughter, I can't control her at all.

"I'll try my best." I said politely, "Boss Meng came to me today to talk about this, right?"

Mr. Meng nodded and said, "Yes, I came to you today. First of all, I want to thank you. You can let Xiaoyun take charge of the project of King's Landing on his own."

"I really don't dare to take credit for this. Mr. Zhang at King's Landing values ​​Xiao Meng very much, so he made her responsible." I said.

"Xiao Zhang." Mr. Meng nodded and said, "It's okay, these are trivial matters. The second point I want to tell you is that I know she is in charge of this project, so I got to know her secretly and found that She was having trouble, so I quietly helped her a little."

I was surprised, "So, you know that she mobilized your subordinates and relatives to buy a house?"

Mr. Meng smiled, "You're wrong. She didn't initiate this matter, but I did it behind her back. You may not know Xiaoyun well. She has been stubborn since she was a child, and she doesn't listen to me. , and she really doesn't want to rely on my relationship, and always wants to start a career on her own. So if she knows that I'm helping her like this, she will definitely not agree. "

It turned out that Meng Tingyun didn't know about this matter, so I really blamed her wrongly.

"So I asked those relatives and friends who bought the house to keep it as secret as possible, and I didn't even leave much information, just for fear that she would find out, but today my fourth brother said that you called to inquire about this matter, I guess you may have found out So I came to you today because I hope you can keep this secret for me, and don't expose this matter."

"Mr. Meng, I'm a straight person, so I'll just say it straight. You're in marketing. I don't know if you've seen her plan. That's a completely wrong way of thinking. I think if you really want Xiao If Meng gets real training, then you shouldn’t help her like this. You can only encourage her to go further and further down the wrong path. You have to let her face her mistakes so that she can grow.” I said bluntly.

Mr. Meng shook his head and said, "I don't agree with this. In my opinion, the most basic thing for a person's success is not the correct method and viewpoint."

This point of view made me very curious, and I asked, "What does Mr. Meng think?"

"It's self-confidence." Mr. Meng said, "When you have self-confidence, your aura can be raised. With these, you have the possibility of success, and those so-called correct methods and viewpoints are nothing more than your success. These things can be obtained with hard work and guidance. But self-confidence is not so easy to build.”

"Have Mr. Meng considered that in the past few weeks, she has built up her self-confidence with your help, but you can't buy all the houses in King's Landing, just to build her self-confidence? This month After the sale is completed, what should I do next?" I said.

"This is another reason why I came to you. I have already considered what you said. After this month is over, I hope you will transfer her to a project and stop accepting King's Landing. I will give you the loss in the middle." Compensation." Mr. Meng said.

I really can't understand why he is willing to spend such a price to build this confidence for his daughter. Maybe he is right, after all, he is already so successful and has his own experience, but I really can't understand.

"Mr. Meng, I may not be able to understand you. Maybe I don't have enough structure to look at the problem from your height, but I have my principles. I'm afraid I can't promise you this, because now it's not just whether she will do it or not." This project is so simple, but it involves my future career." I said.

"Oh? Why is that?" he asked.

I told him everything about the bet between me and Meng Tingyun. Of course, I didn't say anything about her asking people from the society to deal with her colleagues.

After he heard this, he thought for a while and said, "I can understand your difficulties, because if you compromise like this, you will lose your job. Of course, for you, the most important thing you will lose is not only Work, but dignity and confidence, right?"

I nodded, he really saw the problem very thoroughly.

"How much is your annual salary now?" He asked me.

I was taken aback, didn't understand what he meant, and said carefully, "A few hundred thousand, less than a million."

"Well." He thought for a while and said, "I also know about your company and the projects you have done, and I also know about your abilities, so I will give you a choice. If you lose this bet, you will give up your current position to Xiaoyun, then you come to me, I have a position of vice president of marketing for you, and the annual salary is twice what you are working now, how about it?"
