Chapter 49: Pride and Prejudice I

"Ding-dong. As the doorbell rang abruptly, the door opened. "Welcome. The older servant took off her dirty gloves and placed them on the coffee table with the white porcelain vase, and when she vaguely smelled the sound of pushing the door from outside the door came from a familiar VVIP Gu Group director, she wandered around the coffee table uneasily, and quickly shook off the water droplets and sweat in the palm of her hand.

"Cui Xueman, don't rub it in, go to the VIP area!" The proprietress stood at the door of the stairwell and shouted in a voice as sharp as a wind chime, and she was panting from the kitchen in the basement.

Sherman didn't hear it, so naturally she didn't reply, she pulled her shoes back to her darkest and damp room in the basement, "The evil night world is over, and the zombies who are playing hot, but in fact they are insensitive to even the dirty bones." Go to the Pure Land of Bliss and wash your gray hearts. Working without a full meal is the most frustrating thing for anyone, especially someone like Sherman. Under the harsh life, every day of her life is not only suffering from white eyes, but also starving and tired compared to it. The real and most impatient thing to surrender to the Grim Reaper is that when the good fortune is gone, the Grim Reaper will not patronize him. Looking at the colleagues and friends around him who were as shivering as he was, or even more than himself, Sherman became more and more melancholy, immersed in the sad and compassionate contemplation worse than the misanthropy all day long, and naturally even cursed and went crazy. And only in the short seven-hour break (carefree swearing) can she barely forget the pain of survival. She took out her mobile phone again and wanted to reply to her sister Shirley's message, but when she saw the photos of Shirley and Gu Beichen, she was even more depressed when she had just sorted out her thoughts, and the mood of the imminent collapse was of course more suitable for tidying up the room with pleasure. Until she turned off the lights in her room with her shriveled purse and returned to the kitchen at night, she still stood still.

The older servant paused, then turned to look behind the empty man. Except for a few bowls that had just been thrown into the dishwasher, the only one in the room who could gasp for breath was himself. She has worked here for many years, and naturally knows how charming the chairman is. If she could win the favor of this number one patron, she burst out laughing at the thought of this, even though the crisscrossing threads of her face reflected in the mirror had already climbed up her sideburns with scattered silver threads. The collagen, which was once as delicate as milk, has long been severely dehydrated and extremely dull and loose.

From a distance, there was a faint reply from Sheman, "Yes".

The older servant immediately pinched his neck and raised his voice again. "Madame, are you calling me? I'm Shuli, and you've misremembered my name. ”

As she spoke, she leaned out of the half-hidden door with a steaming bowl, and it seems that time has always been harsh on those who don't cherish themselves. She leaned out slightly of the leg at the door, and the meat bulged, quite a sense of fierceness connected up and down the two meat and date sausages, especially when she listened to her colleague's instigation to change into a shaping clothes, the extremely plump chest cavity was towering through the squeaky clothes and the clear white light, at first glance, it looked like two snow-white popping cakes evenly distributed on the whole giant lava cake. From the upper abdomen to the buttocks, it is like a huge bamboo, and the sections are deeply concave downward, and even from a long distance, you can see the recessed groove surrounded by iron hoops, and the skin inside the iron hoop is round, and you can prick oil and water with a needle. And from the bottom to the top and then carefully look at her style, I saw that her face is always like the afterglow of the night, red, and with the unique waxy yellow halo of plateau people, when she calmly poses the posture of the young lady in the oil painting, the red face will also bloom with two peonies that want to talk and rest. Her two dark eyes collapsed into a circle of long, dense eyelashes like the shade of a tree, and from her figure to her face, her only charm was her mouth as narrow and moist as a moon ship. Even if that mouth grew on such a greasy middle-aged servant's face, it was still so fascinated that people couldn't help but kiss it.

"Oh, Shuli, what about Sheman, where did the kid go?" Looking at the unattractive face of the servant in her eyes, the proprietress sank to the bottom. She waved her hand, anxious to let Shuli leave, but just as she was in the bright air, she looked towards the dark dormitory door behind her.

"Why do you only know how to clean up the common areas, but don't you know how to clean up your personal hygiene? Why are you so choked, if the waste piled up in the corner catches fire, then my hard-working business will be burned. ”

The proprietress had one foot in the door, and she was about to squeeze her equally plump body into the door, but when she turned sideways to look at the pile of debris by the door, she withdrew that foot.

"Madame's business ahead shouldn't be too long. ”

"Besides, madam, you were just saying that it was a child, so how could such an important guest be left to the child? Table 4 compared to this one... ”

"Well, well. The proprietress stared intently at her red-eyed eyes, and she immediately realized that the intention of this half-old woman was not a trivial matter, but her hardware conditions were really sorry. Compared to the mechanical work of living in the darkness of the bottom, who does not want the appearance of a person to make up for all the debts that life owes to them. But sometimes it is not determination and hard work that will allow fate. Especially when you stand in front of the mirror and silently muster up the courage at the beginning, you should also see if you have the probability of being drawn. Thinking of this, the proprietress showed a tender but strange smile, and her smile from time to time was lingering and rippling as much as it was lost to Shuli's tumultuous breasts with all kinds of affection. As she looked at her back as she staggered through the lights of Philip, she closed her eyes and put on her headphones and sat down on the couch.

Listening to the ghostly guy excitedly stepping on the fluffy and bulging steps like a water mill, everyone's mood instantly rose up.

Among the countless faces that were flushed by the miserable lights, Gu Beiming stared intently at the wine glass in front of him that was dyed golden by magnesium light. Accompanied by soft jazz music, he frowned slightly, and jerked his head back, pouring the swaying wine in the flickering light into his wrinkled neck. The moment the drunk glass fell back to the bar, his ecstatic eyes looked a little dull, especially when he let out a trace of **-like breath from his throat, and his stiff smile looked even more painful.

"One more drink!"

"Count mine, two more glasses, two more glasses are exactly the same. ”

In the resplendent lobby, a familiar voice came from the swirling enthusiastic drumbeat. He's the bar's foreign regular, VVIP Kang Lianxun, and he has an even more exciting new nameplate – the executive director of the Koo Group. He tidied up his tight suit slightly, and while pulling open the chair next to Gu Beiming and sitting down, he pretended to straighten his hairstyle.

"May I sit here?"

"What are you going to do if I say no? Push back in your chair and walk out the door, or do you want to change places and continue to pretend to be familiar and talk to me with my neck in the air. ”

"Haha, I have to say that President Gu Beiming not only gave a wonderful speech, but also had a humorous sentence. ”

"It has nothing to do with humor or not, I just don't like a person who has no way to get close to me, but now my mind has changed, it doesn't matter if there is no way to come, if there is no sincerity, then I think I have to give an eviction order. ”

"If you don't have sincerity, how can you sit in front of you, not only that, if you need it, I can also give this life with both hands, as a thank you for carrying me from the private chauffeur to the executive director. ”

"To put it so high-soundingly, it seems that in the future, I will rely on my Director Jiang everywhere in the Gu family. ”

Seeing Jiang Lianxun looking at himself with some vigilance, Gu Beiming snapped his fingers at the floating gold-like air.

“Gold Ma

ga

ITA doesn't have to be on again, just change a bottle with a little red. ”

Jiang Lianxun waited for a while, why didn't he move at all as soon as the president's words fell? Jiang Lianxun carefully put down the wine glass he had just picked up in his hand. Then he slowly stood up and saluted respectfully, looking at President Gu Beiming in front of him, who was still ignoring him, he froze in place, not knowing what to say to continue.

"Between you and me, especially in private, you don't have to be as formal as you are in a company with the secretaries of the board of directors. I don't have some special orders like that, and it's hard for me to get straight to the point with my henchmen. ”

Gu Beiming picked up the glass of wine that he had just poured for himself, and when he brought the wine glass close to the silky pale and thin lip, he slanted his eyes like a crescent moon and quietly glanced at Jiang Lianxun, who was sitting back at the table, looking particularly flustered and restrained. He thought about it again and again, slowly lowered the wine glass, and transferred the bottle of wine that had just been opened to Jiang Lianxun's face.

Jiang Lianxun rubbed his hands repeatedly for a long time, he excitedly attached himself to the table and cautiously approached Gu Beiming. Said cautiously and softly.

"Straight to the point, that's good. Do you want to investigate Secretary-General Gu Beichen or what the other directors think about you? ”

The applause of one after another instantly drowned out his voice. After the applause, he dared to go to the side again and whispered tentatively.

"When Secretary-General Gu Beichen's business ability matures, you will work with him, will you, President, hand over the Gu family's store to him? After all, compared to those employees with foreign surnames or other directors in the Gu family who are not related at all, I think there is no one in this world who can compare with your extremely smart brother in loyalty. ”

"In terms of loyalty, is there anyone else who can compare to Director Jiang? haha. Gu Beiming asked softly with a slightly relieved twisted smile in embarrassment. He raised the clear red wine again, but he was actually holding back the feeling of wanting to laugh wildly.

"According to my observations, the relationship between Director Jiang and my extremely smart brother Gu Beichen seems to be very harmonious, and even the friendship I have brought you for many years can be left behind. Now it seems that you are really falling with the wind, and you who have been with me for many years should not be ambiguous, I have a quirk that has always been suspicious of people, and I am not suspicious of people. Since you frequently show your feet in front of me, do you think the Gu family will still keep your place?" Gu Beiming put down the wine glass, and his ten fingers were twisted together. "Compared with a person's ability and character, I am more inclined to cut off the latter's financial route, and you are no longer an ordinary scum in my eyes. Whether it is loyalty or gratitude, you should know that you can't verbally thank you for your great kindness, not to mention that promoting a driver to the position of a close attendant, even if you are the helmsman of the Gu family, just trying to override the public opinion is already exhausting. And you don't seem to be just showing loyalty, especially just now, and there is a tentative intention in your statement. Do you want to know if Gu Beichen's weight in my heart will be bewitched by rumors for many years, think about what you did just now is the same as when you were my father's driver, you want to spy on the position of me and Beichen in my father's heart, isn't this the same?

"I'm really not fooled, whether it's sober or drunk. It's just that for a moment, I'm worried about your body, always keeping your brain running at high speed, whether at work or at home, don't you feel tired? I'm worried about whether you'll follow in the footsteps of the elders and become a cold-blooded and iron-fisted doer. ”

Since he was a child, he followed his father into the Gu family, and Jiang Lianxun was very aware of the different degrees of loneliness and the city government of the two young masters, so even if they were under the same roof, they got along day and night. Lian Xun can't even dare to make an alliance with someone hastily. Of course, now with the title of Gu's executive director, Lian Xun's worth is also rising, but now Lian Xun, who is above countless people under one person, may still be the same as Gu Shi. Yeon-hoon smiled and turned his head, but his gaze stopped near the window. I didn't want to meet unexpected acquaintances on this trip to Germany.

"Hello Executive Director Yoon (Hyuna's mother, executive director of MMBC Group)" Jiang Lianxun saluted respectfully, took off his gloves unhurriedly, and stretched out his hand.

Yoon Sang-sun frowned slightly, and when she looked into the eyes of Lee Tae-so (Chairman CGH), who was holding her affectionately, her gentle expression immediately became weird. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Jiang Lianxun's overtures are not popular, and even that they have reached the point of being annoying.

"Today is a really good day, what kind of wind is blowing you again, but it doesn't matter what kind of wind you have, there must be a small fragrant breeze blowing in your place. Ah, the gentleman next to you is... ”

"President Gu Beiming!" Yin Xiangxian ignored Jiang Lianxun's overtures, she pushed Jiang Lianxun's hand away in annoyance, and walked directly to Gu Beiming, who was drinking alone by the bar.

"It was a great honor for you to be a guest of the TVA last time, and we have always wanted to invite you to the family dinner. ”

"I understand, if you have a family banquet, it is really inconvenient for Beiming to participate, but it is easy to say when you meet, after all, everyone is a partner in the mall, but as long as you Xie Chang is empty, I will definitely appreciate it." Please also bring my thanks and Gu's respect to your president. ”

"Okay, no problem. In that case, why don't I arrange for you to stay in our Hotner Hotel (MMBC's hotel, but it was acquired by CGH during your time in Germany) under our name. Please don't say no. ”

"I'm sorry, but several of Gu's businesses are located in the suburbs, and it takes two and a half hours to travel from the city center to the suburbs one way. So I'm sorry, even if President Xie and Executive Director Yin are so proud, Beiming can only be a stingy person. You know, time management is especially important for entrepreneurs. ”

While Yin Xiangxian and Gu Beiming were polite to each other, Yin Xiangxian was always secretly eyebrowning with Lee Tae-so. Gu Beiming quickly understood the unusually tacit relationship between the two people, and he wanted to end the conversation with Yin Xiangxian as soon as possible, so he had to pretend to say hello to Lee Tae-so. "Chairman Li was on a business trip abroad a while ago, so I bothered Director Jin to make such a trip, so he has been okay recently. ”

"Thanks to you, all is well, I heard that you have a very good impression of him, and I am planning to promote him. Ah, but it's not just for your sake, Kim Seung-joon has been conscientious and dedicated to his duties during his 15 years at CGH, and he can indeed take on important responsibilities as a talent. ”

As soon as the words fell, Lee Tae-so looked at Kang Lianxun, who had been standing next to him, curling his five fingers in embarrassment and slightly stunned.

"Look at this man's outfit, eighty percent of them are your subordinates. ”

"Ah, yes, it's the executive director of our group. ”

"Hello Chairman Li, I'm Jiang Lianxun, please advise. Kang Yeon-hoon said and bent down and bowed deeply to Lee Tae-so. And once again stretched out his fingers, his hand trembling slightly.

"If you shake hands, you don't have to, just in Fische

s F

ITZ cut the steak and accidentally poured the sauce on his hands, and asked Director Jiang not to care. ”

Jiang Lianxun turned his gaze to Gu Beiming beside him again, and Gu Beiming, together with Lee Tae-so and Yoon Sang-hyun, who were standing in front of him and ready to sit down, chatted with relish again, which is considered very rude behavior in any social situation.

"By the way, what about the cities where Gu plans to expand its business overseas?"

"Now the Gu family is still on the starting line again, I don't have any new plans for a while, even if I have, I have to ask Elder Gu for what he means, and then come to talk with the seniors about the wine, and when the time comes, please know everything. ”

"Of course, in my opinion, President Gu Beiming is young and promising, and under your leadership, Gu's prospects will definitely open a new era. Besides, your younger brother Secretary-General Gu Beichen and you are blood relatives after all, I think no matter what field you choose to expand your territory, with his well-deserved "second-in-command" leading, the directors should not object. Unlike our CGH, the two previous orders of business that were finalized failed in failure. For example, I am optimistic about a major industrial town in the northwest, but my Secretary-General Chen said that if the place has not been developed for a long time, the input will definitely be greater than the output, and it will even become a bubble economy. Now that ten years have passed, looking at the large amount of money in the hands of his peers, I think his intestines are all repentant. It is also every time the board of directors is convened, those who do not like to take risks to accumulate money and skillful people talk about their inadequacy, do they still want to be promoted in this pattern of life? But all those who have some courage will spend all their energy on other directors at the beginning of doing things in a down-to-earth manner. Doesn't this subordinate just like this, the calculating heart of the fly camp dog just can't be used in serious matters, and in the end, when he is scolded, he just blindly pushes it to not be delegated. It's as if his lack of pragmatism is also my fault. ”

Lee Tae-so quietly set his eyes on Kang Yeon-hoon.

"Yes, if I want to think that a director who can only talk big and empty words is not worthy of such a prominent position, this is not a standard empty salary, what else can it be? Even if some people are less capable, it is better not to have connections that they shouldn't have, such as the kind that you don't like to go to the rival company to fill the network coin. ”

Contempt and ridicule filled the conversation between the four people, and it became more and more difficult to talk about listening to the conversation in his ears, Jiang Lianxun, who was already allergic, was so embarrassed that he couldn't sit or go. Just as he was leaving his seat early, a call came in.

"I'm sorry to disturb everyone's Yaxing, I have to answer the phone quickly, before I accompanied President Gu Beiming on a business trip, my son had acute appendicitis, and this Lingding was discharged from the hospital, and the doctor inevitably had to give two more instructions. ”

"Oh, which hospital, the doctor still has this leisure, it seems that the business is not very good. You are also a figure with a head and a face, so it is better to be cautious and change to a big hospital. ”

"Thank you for your concern, then there will be a chance to see you again. ”

Seeing Yin Xiangxian pull his head again deaf and arrogantly and intently look him up and down a few times, he was so stunned that his scalp was numb, but this didn't stop him from slipping away.

"Chairman Gu, what is the status of this director in the company? Can he be as awesome as others boasted?"

Yin Xiangxian was touching up his makeup in the mirror, while still persevering in probing Jiang Lianxun's background.

"Listening to his tone, it seems that he can overpower Secretary General Gu Beichen, I think if you can give him a seat to sit, he will not be happy to go back. Cheng Tian knows that he dances Xuanxuan, and the one jumping up and down seems to be no different from the monkey in President Li's circle. ”

"What kind of thing is he, does he dare to be powerful and powerful? is he knowing that he doesn't have half a brush, so he hurriedly rode the wind and waves, even if he leaves from the Gu family one day, he will always have a period of fake prestige. Bastards who can't go up and can't go down, aren't they all like this? Persimmon cakes, who have a soft love for soft persimmons, don't know that they are of the same origin as those fools. ”

Lee Tae-so rolled up his sleeves and began to cut the steak and happily put it on Yoon Sang-string's plate.

"I think maybe it is, bullying the soft and fearing the hard is not the survival rule of the animal world, but it is good to have such a person to block the gun for himself, after all, the company's affairs can not always let the chairman do everything himself, and he has to make planning decisions to free up the work of teaching subordinates. Yoon Sang-hyon swallowed the steak handed over by Lee Tae-so and said without thinking.

Gu Beiming turned his wine glass and nodded elegantly.
