Chapter 62: Meeting
When he received Carlos' call, George was still asleep, and two days of self-indulgence made George feel tired.
The rapid ringing of the phone woke up the two people who hugged each other, and after George moved his stiff arm that was used as a pillow a little, he got out of bed and flipped through the mobile phone in his coat, glanced at the phone number, and found Carlos's, and hurriedly picked it up.
Carlos usually doesn't call him, everything is done according to the first arrangement, and there must be some unexpected incident when he calls now.
"Cousin?"
When George's brain was spinning rapidly, he guessed what was wrong, the United States or the RB central bank, and how to deal with it once they did, but he didn't expect that after the phone was connected, it was completely different from what he imagined.
For a while, the brain was still running at high speed, and George, who was searching for previous memories and thinking about how to deal with the situation in his mind, was a little down and didn't react.
"Yes, George, he was led by Mr. Li from the Bank of China, I don't think anyone will be stupid enough to lie to you. ”
Carlos on the other side of the phone confirmed again and said, in the face of Li Jianjun, who suddenly came to the door, Carlos was a little shocked at first, he didn't expect that Li Jianjun couldn't wait to come to the door just after going to work, originally thought that it was George talking to him about the cooperation at that time, who would have thought that it was actually brought a young man who came out of nowhere, claiming to be his cousin, who was a student.
Although he knew that George had Chinese ancestry, he had not heard George mention his mother's relatives for a few months after coming to Xiangjiang, and in the face of Qiao Tao who suddenly came to the door, Carlos did not rush to inform George, but after careful inquiry, after asking about Qiao Tao's intention and Li Jianjun's guarantee, Carlos called George in person.
"Oh, Carlos, you take care of him first, I'll be back in the company soon. ”
After saying that, George hung up the phone and fell into deep thought, for the cousin who suddenly appeared, George had some clues, it may be that an insider told his grandfather and uncle about his affairs in Xiangjiang, but for some reason they were not good to come forward, so they could only send Qiao Tao over to find out the situation first.
"I'm leaving, except for something, I'm going to fix it. ”
Feeling the hot body hugging him from behind, George put the phone down, patted her hands, stood up and walked towards the bathroom.
"Are you coming back at night?"
When George walked out of the bathroom after taking a shower and putting on his clothes, Lin Xilei, who had been quietly watching George without any movement, asked.
"I didn't come in the evening, I accompanied my brother who came from afar to chat, and entered the friendship of the landlord. ”
George walked to the bedside, kissed the forehead of the lazy woman in front of him, exuded his own unique charm, and then took out a Wells Fargo bank card from his wallet and put it in her hand.
"Go buy something you like, 10 million dollars, don't worry about repayment, touch the cordon and it will be automatically transferred in my private account. ”
Standing on the windowsill and watching George drive out of the villa, Lin Xilei looked at the credit card in her hand and was shocked by George's generosity, and at the same time, she strengthened a certain belief.
Although he often imagined what it would be like to meet his mother's relatives who he had never met, when this moment really came, George, who was the second man, suddenly felt a little apprehensive.
George didn't tell his mother the news that Qiao Tao came to him, for fear that she would remember the sad things again, George didn't know what happened between his mother and his grandparents, but he happened to hear them talking on the phone again, but he didn't say it for long, and his mother began to cry constantly.
He once asked his mother why he didn't go back and see, but each time she shook her head firmly and didn't answer him.
This is also the reason why George has never crossed the border and stepped into the north for more than three months after coming to Xiangjiang, for fear that his mother will be sad when she finds out.
Regarding the sudden appearance of Qiao Tao's cousin, George's heart was complicated, thinking about meeting his relatives who had never met, and he was afraid of hearing some news that made him embarrassed.
Since the other party came to look for him, it was useless to think more, first of all, he had to determine his intentions, put out the cigarette in his hand in the trash can at the elevator entrance, and walked into the company.
"George, you're back. ”
Pushing open the door, Carlos, who had entered the company and was sitting in the company's leisure area to accompany Li Jianjun and Qiao Tao, found George, stood up and greeted George.
"Mr. Li didn't expect us to meet again so soon, I don't know how my proposal was considered, you know, things are always done well in advance, and when others find out about this business opportunity, it will be the first to play the banner, but it is not so wonderful. ”
After nodding at Carlos, George took the lead in saying hello to Li Jianjun who was standing next to him and asked.
George has a full understanding of the style of this large state-owned enterprise, although the bureaucracy prevails, although the project he proposed is nothing compared to the huge assets of the bank, but the matter should be divided into many aspects, not just look at one side, if it is different in a political sense, he is confident that more people will be tempted to promote its project, and there will definitely not be a situation where the news is preempted by others after a few months.
"We have submitted your proposal and proposal to the head office, and I received the news before coming that the first topic of the morning meeting of the head office is to study the feasibility of your proposal, if nothing else, I think we will soon be a family.
Oh,,,, no,,,, we are now a family, this is Mr. Xu's nephew, and also your cousin Qiao Tao, Mr. Xu instructed me to let me bring him to meet you, by the way, I can't know that it is a family but it is just business, so it is not easy to make a difference. ”
For George before today, he just regarded him as a person who was rich and very friendly to Huaxia and valued the Huaxia market very much, but who wanted the boss's words to let himself overturn his own ideas, this is friendly, it was originally a family, and it was strange that a one-time investment of billions of dollars had to be calculated, which is not a decision that any Western company or individual can easily make.
"Mr. Li said with a smile, I didn't expect this to be the case, if I had known earlier, I would have visited the first time I came to Xiangjiang, I was ashamed, I set up a banquet in Miramar, specifically to Mr. Li and Mr. Xu and others to make amends, I hope you don't refuse then. ”
After speaking, George didn't wait for Li Jianjun to reply, he looked at the cap that had been standing quietly next to him, wearing Adi's sportswear, and his face was thin, but he could vaguely see a trace of his mother's shadow on it.
walked up to Qiao Tao and gave him a hug with open arms.
"I've been thinking about what kind of etiquette I should use once I meet my grandparents, aunts and uncles, but I didn't expect you to be the first person I met.
Very unexpectedly, really unexpectedly, I never thought that I would be able to meet my mother's family in Xiangjiang, in my imagination I should go to the capital to meet you. ”
When Qiao Tao was different, George let him go, took his hand and sat down, and said in fluent Mandarin with Beijing flavor.
As soon as these words came out, Qiao Tao felt very cordial and incredible, just now George and Li Jianjun were talking in ugly Mandarin with a Xiangjiang accent.
I originally thought that George grew up abroad and didn't speak Mandarin well, but I didn't expect such an accident.
"I was preparing for exams at school, and my dad called me home at school, got me a pass as fast as he could, gave me a note with your address, and put me on the plane.
I also just found out about the existence of my aunt and you, and when I got off the plane, I went to the apartment where you lived to find you, and the security guards didn't let me in, and asked them to call your home and no one answered, I thought I was going to live on the street, but fortunately there was Uncle Xu's phone number on it, and I called Uncle Xu, and then I came to your company accompanied by Uncle Li. ”
Qiao Tao looked at this cousin, who was two years older than him, his eyes were full of curiosity, before George arrived, in this small space without any partition facilities, he could clearly hear the continuous instructions of Carlos, who received him, in buying and selling.
If it weren't for Li Jianjun's explanation next to him, he wouldn't have guessed that the few people sitting not far away would really startle him when they were manipulating hundreds of millions or even billions.
As a person who entered Beijing in middle school and has integrated into the children of Beijing, it is very clear that the eldest brother at the top of them may not have so many assets of his own.
Originally, he was already curious because his father suddenly sent him to Xiangjiang to find this cousin who had never heard of him, and he was even more curious about this cousin who had never met after the explanation of the taxi master and Li Jianjun.
When waiting for George, he was worried that George would kick him out if he didn't recognize him, but now that he saw that George was more affectionate to him, he left that worry behind, and wanted to get closer to this somewhat magical cousin.
"Hehe, I slept in Repulse Bay last night and didn't go back to the apartment, you wait a minute, I'll change my clothes. ”
Because Qiao Tao's eyes were staring at his shirt when he spoke, George looked down inexplicably, and found that he didn't notice the faint lip print on the collar and the coat that smelled a faint perfume smell when he calmed down at this time, and after reacting, he smiled at Qiao Tao and Li Jianjun, and stood up and walked towards the office, where there were his spare clothes.
