A unit is never calm all the time.

After a long period of peace, it is normal that there will inevitably be a little bit of turmoil.

This is a reshuffling of interests and a redistribution of power among the tops.

It has nothing to do with Guo Yang.

At least it has nothing to do with the current Guo Yang.

He didn't bother to pay attention, he was still busy with his own business.

The engagement reception was set at the Nanshan Hotel, not far from Zhou's house. Guo Yang took advantage of the effort of going out to interview, and went to see the layout of the hotel with Zhou Bing.

Zhou Bing's assistant Huang Bingyan was in charge of the engagement reception. All expenses shall be borne by Bluestar Group. Guo Yang didn't bother too much with the Zhou family about these trivial things.

When he was at Nanshan Hotel, Guo Yang received a call from Shen Xiaoman.

Under the urging of Guo Linlin to dredge the relationship, the registration certificate of Ai Bing Group was obtained. This means that Ai Bing Group was established, and Guo Yang will always remember this day: November 1, 1999.

This is a career platform that truly belongs to Guo Yang.

Although it is not obvious, it will not be long before the name of Ai Bing Group will reverberate in the land of China and become an emerging capital force that shocks everyone!

At that time, Guo Yang will set off a storm of Guo's capital, which will shock the world!

Shen Xiaoman is a natural workaholic. She didn't take a break to adjust and immediately threw herself into work.

Moreover, her workaholic traits were realized by all the employees of Ai Bing on the first day. Before the opening of Ai Bing Shopping and Ai Bing Bookstore, Shen Xiaoman asked Guo Linlin to convene a meeting of all employees, in addition to clarifying that she, the new president of the group, would take office, but also clarified a thunderous rule -

Before going to work every day, all managers must accept management training, accept management tasks, clear the day, and complete the day. This is the management model of Lehman, which was introduced by Shen Xiaoman.

Shen Xiaoman said a sentence at the meeting that all employees remember vividly: the company is everyone's company, it is a platform, who has the ability and ability, can stand out on this platform, the capable and the mediocre, not an empty word. Efficiency first, taking into account the quality of work.

Later, Shen Xiaoman really promoted five department managers within a month.

Guo Linlin was hired by Shen Xiaoman on behalf of the group as the general manager of Ai Bing Trading Company, and Yao Zekai was hired as the deputy general manager of Ai Bing Culture Company, and Guo Linlin temporarily held the position of general manager. When the talent selection is in place in the future, Guo Linlin will naturally no longer work part-time.

Guo Linlin is also the Group's Chief Financial Officer.

Shen Xiaoman communicated with Guo Yang in advance. Guo Yang has no opinion on her arrangement. My sister Guo Linlin has succeeded in managing a business, and at the level of the group, she is not enough, and it may not be a good thing to put too much burden on her. As for Yao Zekai, his personality is decent, his pioneering and innovative spirit is insufficient, and his ability to manage a company alone is slightly weaker.

Guo Yang deducted the phone, turned his head and smiled at Zhou Bing: "Xiaoice, I see that the venue is very well arranged, I still have some things, I want to go to Northern University, go first!"

Zhou Bing didn't care, nodded, and signaled that Guo Yang could go about his own business.

She still has some ideas of her own about the venue, and she will stay with Huang Bingyan to refine some local details. After all, it was her engagement reception, and Zhou Bing actually attached great importance to it in his heart.

Nov. 2 at 11 a.m.

The engagement reception was held at 11:18 a.m., and from 11 a.m., guests began to arrive.

Guo Yang and Zhou Bing, dressed in white dresses, stood at the door to greet the guests.

For Zhou Bing, most of the guests who came were acquaintances, because there were not many guests invited by the Zhou family, and they were basically heavyweights who had a lot of dealings with the Zhou family's husband and wife.

Then he shook hands with Guo Yang with a smile and said a few words of congratulations.

There is a trace of contempt hidden in the eyes of many people.

The Zhou family found a son-in-law from a humble background, which has gradually spread in the small circle of the city's upper class, so many people are very curious about Guo Yang. And curiosity will inevitably be mixed with a little condescension.

In the face of the scrutiny of these so-called big shots, Guo Yang looked calm and indifferent.

Feng Qing and Feng Qi brothers accompanied Feng Yuanliang and walked slowly, Guo Yang had a relieved smile on his face, and quickly stepped forward and bowed: "Teacher, brother, sister, you are here!"

Feng Yuanliang smiled heartily and patted Guo Yang's shoulder: "On your big day, how can the teacher not come?" The teacher has prepared a gift for you and Xiaoice, Xiaoqi, you bring it!"

Feng Qi walked over with a smile: "Dad, let's talk about it at the engagement ceremony, it's not time yet!"

Feng Qi pinched a pair of scrolls. Guo Yang glanced at it and knew that what Old Man Feng had prepared was probably a gift like calligraphy and painting.

However, for Guo Yang, Old Man Feng's ability to come is the biggest gift in itself, and it doesn't matter what gift he gives.

Feng Qing also smiled: "Little brother, congratulations!"

Zhou Bing came up with a gentle smile to greet him: "Old man, please come in quickly, my parents and Yangyang's mother are inside to greet you!"

Guo Yang accompanied Feng Yuanliang to walk in and out, and out of the corner of his eye, he found a few familiar figures walking slowly, and couldn't help frowning.

It turned out to be Ji Ran and Liu Tao, the squadron leader of the Serious Crime Squadron of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Bureau. There is also Feng Zhe, deputy chief of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Bureau, who pursued Ji Ran unsuccessfully, Feng Zhe held a **** wearing a purple cheongsam with charm, Guo Yang recognized it at a glance, this is Feng Zhe's mother Song Qiuying, and she can be regarded as a celebrity in the city's cultural circle.

These people were not on the guest list invited.

As if seeing Guo Yang's doubts, Zhou Bing suddenly smiled softly: "Yangyang, I invited Ji Ran and them over, they are our friends, let's have a good time!"

Zhou Bing didn't say much.

Guo Yang had a strange look on his face.

He knew that Zhou Bing did it on purpose. She invited Ji Ran and others to come over, ostensibly to invite friends to join in the fun, but in fact, the real purpose is to spread the word, from today onwards, she and Guo Yang will be equivalent to officially spending the full moon, and there is no possibility for others.

Naturally, she was targeting Ji Ran.

Guo Yang sighed lightly in his heart, knowing that even a gentle and generous girl like Zhou Bing could not mix a single sand in her eyes when it came to emotional issues.

As for Feng Zhe and his mother, they were invited by Xue Chunlan through others.

Xue Chunlan's intention is nothing more than because not long ago, Song Qiuying was stirring up trouble behind her back and almost made her make a big mistake - Xue Chunlan wanted Song Qiuying's mother and son to "witness" the engagement ceremony, which can be regarded as some kind of counterattack.

Zhou Bing greeted him with a smile on her face, and she hugged Ji Ran affectionately. Ji Ran's smile was slightly stiff: "Xiaoice, congratulations to you and Guo Yang, it's not easy for you to walk out of the wind and rain and come together!"

Zhou Bing snorted, and the gentle color on his face became stronger: "Thank you, Ji Ran, you can come, Yangyang and I are very happy, I hope we can always be good friends!"

Ji Ran chuckled: "However, Xiaoice, you notified me too hastily, I came in a hurry, I didn't prepare a gift, don't blame me!"

The two girls held hands and stood at the door chatting with a smile, and Feng Zhe's mother and son and Liu Tao had slowly walked in. Guo Yang stood aside speechless and silent, at this time, he really didn't know what to say, it was estimated that it was inappropriate to say anything, it was better to remain silent.

Fortunately, at this time, Meng Tianxiang's arrival can be regarded as relieving Guo Yang.

Meng Tianxiang's face was gloomy, and his steps were slow.

Meng Tianxiang received the invitation from the Zhou family yesterday, and the sound in his brain was almost bursting, and for the whole afternoon, he was in a state of roaring and chaotic rage, if it weren't for his father Meng Jianmin's head, he would have lost his mind.

Meng Tianxiang couldn't figure it out anyway, the Zhou family dared to ignore the power of the Meng family, change the ambiguous attitude in front of them, and accept a humble boy like Guo Yang as the son-in-law of the Zhou family.

How so?!

Thinking that the beauty he has coveted for many years is about to fall into Guo Yang's arms, and thinking that the Zhou family's great wealth will be enjoyed by Guo Yang alone, Meng Tianxiang is going crazy.

Compared with Meng Tianxiang's loss of mind, Meng Jianmin considered more about the attitude of the Zhou family.

Fools can see that the Zhou family chose to hold a small-scale engagement reception for their daughter and Guo Yang at this time, in order to tell the Meng family that they would not bow their heads and not give in.

To put it bluntly, this engagement reception is aimed at the Meng family and Meng Jianmin.

Compared with his son's marriage, Meng Jianmin attaches more importance to his political future. He just came to work in City C, and his foothold is not stable, and he is unwilling to make trouble in the city because of his son's personal affairs and lose points for his image.

What's more, Meng Jianmin is still unsure of the relationship between Xue Chunlan and her maiden provincial capital, the Xue family. But as long as the Xue family was involved, he couldn't help but be extra cautious.

The Xue family in the Northern Province can no longer be simply described as a tree with deep roots. If measured by family, the Xue family is one of the top families in the Northern Province. The old man of the Xue family is highly respected in the province, and he is a revolutionary predecessor, although he has long since retired, but his protégés and former officials are all over the province, and the current provincial leaders respect him very much.

Messing with the Xue family is an unbearable burden for Meng Jianmin. Even if there was only a glimmer of possibility, Meng Jianmin did not dare to take this risk.

Therefore, Meng Jianmin ordered Meng Tianxiang not to attend Zhou Bing and Guo Yang's engagement reception, because he knew his son too well, although Meng Tianxiang was calm and capable many times, but he was young and vigorous after all, and he was very obsessed with Zhou Bing.

But Meng Tianxiang still came.

He couldn't help it.

He couldn't control his chaotic emotions and restless thoughts.

When Meng Tianxiang walked over, his ears couldn't help but echo the conversation he had with Guo Yang in the parking lot outside the Zhou family's villa that day:

"I will let you understand what the real means are, and how big the gap between us will be! What I was born with will also be the goal of your life!"

"I will also let you know that reality and ideals are always contradictory opposites, and in the face of the pressure of reality, ideals are nothing after all. ”

"Since you have to pester my woman, then I can only passively face it. The so-called innate things that I will make you proud of, the power, dignity and glory of those high-ranking children, will be shattered and reduced to nothing in front of me, and one day, you will prostrate yourself at my feet and admit your arrogance and rudeness today!"

"Okay, Guo Yang, let's have a gentleman's agreement, no matter which of us holds the beauty in the future, we will surrender to each other. Don't worry, if I really lose, I will kneel at your feet and accept your success as you wish!"

Did you win?! No! It's still early!!I'm definitely not going to throw in the towel!!

Meng Tianxiang roared silently in his heart, but his expression slowly became calm as usual, and he walked towards Guo Yang.

Guo Yang also walked over and took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Meng Tianxiang: "Welcome to Mr. Meng!"

"Congratulations!" Meng Tianxiang also stretched out his hand, and the two shook hands, both of them very strongly.

Guo Yang's expression was very calm.

Zhou Bing glanced at Meng Tianxiang with some disgust, and continued to talk and laugh with Ji Ran in the same place, ignoring Meng Tianxiang's arrival.

Meng Tianxiang's face was also calm as usual, but the trace of hideousness in his eyes was still difficult to hide: "You seem to have won one step first!" However, this is not the final result, we still have a long time to come, and we will walk slowly and see!"

Guo Yang smiled and pulled his hand out of Meng Tianxiang's hand forcefully: "I never wanted to win anyone, but if Mr. Meng has to treat me as an imaginary enemy, then, if you want to fight, Guo has never been afraid of anyone!"

"So, we'll see!"

Meng Tianxiang stared deeply at Zhou Bing, who was laughing with Ji Ran, the crazy color in his eyes flashed, and he strode into the drinking party.

Ji Ran glanced at Meng Tianxiang, turned his head to look at Guo Yang, and then nodded to Zhou Bing and walked in slowly.

From beginning to end, Ji Ran didn't talk to Guo Yang, and Guo Yang was avoiding her. There was some bitterness in her heart.

Zhou Bing walked over and lowered his voice: "Yangyang, he's a madman, don't pay attention to him!"

Guo Yang smiled: "Ignore him!"

Not long after, Guo Linlin and Yao Zekai walked over side by side, and Guo Linlin brought a small gift box with beautiful packaging.

Zhou Bing greeted him briskly: "Linlin, you are here!"

Guo Linlin grinned: "Sister-in-law, congratulations! This is a little bit of heart between me and Xiaoyao, don't dislike it!"

Zhou Bingqiao's face was slightly red: "It's good that you can come, what other gifts can you buy?" Linlin, I'll take you in!"

Zhou Bing personally took Guo Linlin and Yao Zekai in.

This is Guo Yang's sister, and her status in Zhou Bing's mind is different. Zhou Bing was worried that Guo Linlin and his family would be left out in the cold, so he personally brought them in to make arrangements.

Guo Linlin took two steps, stopped and turned her head to Guo Yang and smiled: "Brother, Mr. Shen said that she will be there in a while, let's not wait for her first!"

Guo Yang smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he understood.
