Chapter 323: Meeting
After Li Baiyou returned to the bureau in the afternoon, this matter was known to Mr. Zeng. After listening to what happened, he was curious about Zhu Siqi, asked Li Baiyou for Zhu Siqi's contact information, and then called Zhu Siqi and asked if they could have dinner together.
Zhu Siqi can be said to have never dealt directly with any administrative staff, even when he was in Hangzhou, he only talked to Deng Weiyu's father in private, and now Mr. Zeng wants to invite him to dinner, he didn't want to agree, but Tang Mengmei happened to hear it next to him, and tried his best to persuade him to agree, so Zhu Siqi reluctantly agreed.
"Let me tell you, if you establish a good personal relationship with this Mr. Zeng, it will have an immeasurable effect on the future exhibition of our Longxing company. Tang Mengmei saw that Zhu Siqi hung up the phone, and immediately said.
"I'm afraid that if I can't establish a good relationship with him at that time, won't it be bad for our exhibition?" Zhu said.
"Why are you so unconfident in yourself? By the way, if you are going to dinner in the evening, you have to prepare a better suit, do you have it?" Tang Mengdao, she had never seen Zhu Siqi wear a suit, except when Longxing Company was first established.
"I'm going to eat, not a blind date! If I wear a suit to eat, then I won't eat my food. Zhu Siqi said.
"You don't know this, you go to eat just a name, do you think there is really something to eat? Let me tell you, you'd better pad your stomach at home before you go, otherwise you won't be able to move your chopsticks when you see a table full of food, and be careful of drooling." Tang Mengmei said.
"My self-control isn't so bad, and I'm still drooling, right?" said Zhu Siqi with a frown.
"I'm not scaring you, but I often attend such dinners, and the dishes on the table are basically unchanged, at most eat some fruit or drink some wine, if you really go with the intention of eating, I am sure you will be disappointed. Tang Mengmei said. Indeed, she often attends such dinners. But it's usually an event, this time Zhu Siqi is different, in fact, it can only be regarded as a semi-official meeting, after all, it is still a private meal.
Although Tang Mengmei tried her best to persuade him to change his clothes and cushion his stomach in advance, Zhu Siqi did not comply. When the time came, he didn't even have the new car that Tang Mengmei wanted to lend him, so he still drove his Volkswagen and went directly to the hotel that he had made an appointment with Mr. Zeng.
Zhu Siqi went to park the car before he began to walk into the hotel, and the doorman at the door originally saw Zhu Siqi dressed casually. I wanted to stop it, but Zhu Siqi didn't squint and walked in directly, and he didn't dare to speak on the side. You must know that Hong Kong is a place where the dragon is crouching tiger, if he really stops a big money, then he may not be able to eat and walk around!
After coming in, a waiter came to greet him, "How many gentlemen?"
"Find someone. The person who made an appointment, Mr. Zeng!" Zhu Siqi said.
"Okay, please come with me. Apparently Mr. Zeng had arrived early and greeted them. The doorman heard Zhu Siqi speak. secretly shouted that fortunately he didn't stop him, otherwise he would have to roll up and leave immediately!
Mr. Zeng didn't book a private room, but chose a quiet corner, and there was no one else, just he sat there reading the newspaper, and only a cup of tea was placed on the table.
"Mr. Zeng. You wait for someone to come, do you want to serve the food right away?"
Mr. Zeng looked up and saw Zhu Siqi at this time, and like other people who saw Zhu Siqi for the first time, he saw such a young man, dressed casually, and most people would think that this was a student of which student.
"Mr. Zeng, hello, I'm Zhu Siqi. Zhu Siqi said.
"Hello. Please take a seat!" Mr. Zeng immediately stood up and said to Zhu Siqi. "Let's start serving!" he replied to the waiter.
"I didn't expect you to be so young, it seems that I am really old. Hehe!" Mr. Zeng sat down and looked at Zhu Siqidao.
"You've won the prize, and I'm just lucky. Zhu Siqi said modestly.
"Anyway, yesterday your Longxing Investment Company was also a big success, and now those reporters don't know, if they know, it will be difficult for your Longxing Company to become famous. Mr. Zeng said with a smile.
"Sometimes being famous isn't always a good thing. Zhu Siqi said lightly.
"There aren't many young people nowadays who can do it like you, and honestly, I admire you!" said Mr. Tsang.
"Thank you. Zhu Siqi said.
At this time, the hotel's service staff came up with a plate of dishes, although it was a high-level treat in Hong Kong, but it was not necessarily very rich, in addition to a hotel's special dishes, the others were also home-cooked dishes.
"I don't know your taste, but I've read your information, so I didn't order Western food, you can try it." Mr. Zeng said.
Of course, Zhu Siqi will not be polite, and took a bite on each dish with chopsticks, "Yes, it is worthy of a big hotel, the taste is very authentic." ”
"The taste is good for your taste, come, eat more. Mr. Zeng said.
Zhu Siqi listened to this Mr. Zeng's tone without any arrogance, and he was very polite, this is definitely not contrived, but really his true face, and his good impression of him immediately arises.
"I don't know what happened to Director Zeng inviting me to dinner?" Zhu Siqi asked immediately halfway through eating, this is also a common thing in domestic dinners, Chinese like to put everything on the dinner table to discuss, and most decisions are also decided at the dinner table.
"Actually, it's nothing, I just want to talk to you, eat first, and then let's find a place to talk after eating, and you don't want Director Zeng, Director Zeng calls me, just call me by my name, otherwise I really feel awkward." Mr. Zeng said.
"Okay, then I'm offended. Zhu Siqi said with a smile.
"Young people should be in a hurry, and nothing should be offended. I'm older than you, so I won't call you Zhu Dong, I'll call you Si Qi. Mr. Zeng said.
"Okay. That's what my friends usually call me. Zhu Siqi said.
"So we're friends too? Mr. Zeng said with a smile.
"Of course, I can't ask for it. Zhu Siqi smiled.
"There is no interest relationship between us, and there will be no interest relationship in the future, I want to tell you this in advance, so if we are friends, we have to avoid talking about business in the future, of course, except today. Mr. Zeng said.
"Okay. Zhu Siqi said, in fact, this is what he thinks, he doesn't want to use outsiders or external forces to show his company, otherwise even if the company is exhibited, it seems that there will be a thorn in his heart, which makes him feel bad.
The two big men had nothing to say except for the fundamental communication, and they finished eating quickly, Mr. Zeng also wanted to have a drink with Zhu Siqi, but Zhu Siqi did not have the habit of drinking before the meal, so he politely refused, he didn't want to change his habits for the sake of others, of course, Mr. Zeng was not angry, but felt that this young man was really a little different from the people he knew.
"I know a tea house is very famous and quiet, why don't we go there for tea together?" Mr. Zeng said when he saw Zhu Siqi put down his chopsticks.
"Okay, it's up to you. Zhu Siqi said, although he also likes to drink tea now, but he doesn't have much research on tea, just think it's fragrant.
"You should have come by car, I'll take your car. After Mr. Zeng and Zhu Siqi went out of the hotel together, he didn't mean to pick up the car, and said to Zhu Siqi.
"And what about your car?" said Zhu Siqi.
"I'm here to let the driver send me here, you also know that I use the bus, and now if I don't go home after work, it's my own private business, and I can't use official business for private affairs, so I asked the driver to drive the car away, and besides, your boss will definitely drive here, right? Mr. Zeng said.
But when Zhu Siqi drove the car and parked next to Mr. Zeng, he was surprised again, he didn't expect Zhu Siqi to just drive such an ordinary car. You must know that even the white-collar workers of the average company may drive better cars than him.
"It's surprising, this is the first car I bought in Hong Kong, it's cheap, practical, and although the features are almost good, I think it's okay. Zhu Siqi and Mr. Zeng said with a smile after getting into the car.
Mr. Zeng pointed the way, Zhu Siqi drove, and soon came to a tea house called "Time", the environment is very quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and some cars are parked outside, but Zhu Siqi walks in and the business is not very good, but it is indeed very arranged. Even everyone's voices were deliberately suppressed, for fear of disturbing others.
"The environment here is good, you don't look at the business seems to be very weak, in fact, it's still meal time, you will know after a while, and the people who come here are basically regular customers, many people like it after the first time. Mr. Zeng whispered beside Zhu Siqi.
Obviously, Mr. Zeng is also a frequent visitor here, and the guys in the tea house greeted him warmly when they saw him, but Mr. Zeng asked for a private room this time, and he probably didn't want to disturb other people because of chatting with Zhu Siqi.
"I've saved some of the best big red robes here, and you can try them later. Mr. Zeng walked into the private room and said.
"I've heard that the best red robes are very expensive, and they have no price, so you basically have to buy a little bit by auction. Zhu Siqi said, for this "most expensive tea in China", Zhu Siqi still knows a little.
"That's right, this was given to us by the president of the country at the time of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, and I later paid for dozens of grams. I can't imagine that you also have a well-documented study of tea. Mr. Zeng said.
"I know a little bit, but it's far from researching. Zhu Siqi said.
