Chapter 198: High Up
Li Lei never felt that he was very talented in business, because he felt that it was really difficult for him to do business. Not to mention the need for careful thinking, just because of the sense of smell of business opportunities, Li Lei feels that he is far worse than those successful businessmen.
This feeling became even stronger the moment he saw Tang Kaixuan.
"Dad, this is Li Lei."
Tang Xin took the initiative to introduce the two of them.
Although she was a little dissatisfied with her father's arrangement of taking her home and letting Li Lei stay in the hotel, she had nothing she could do. Not to mention that his father's character has always been like this, the key is that he and Li Lei are indeed not suitable to live under the same roof.
Fortunately, the hotel where Li Lei lived was not far from him, and he made an appointment with his father for dinner, and Chen Hanjie went over to pick Li Lei over.
Tang Kaixuan is in his early forties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a Chinese face, looking more like an official than a businessman. He was a soldier, so he often gave people the style of the army, even if he sat there, his body sat straight.
Li Lei respectfully came to Tang Kaixuan and lowered his head: "Uncle, hello." ”
"Well, sit down."
Tang Kaixuan glanced at Li Lei noncommittally, and didn't say anything, just waved his hand and asked Li Lei to sit down next to Tang Xin.
"Dad......"
Tang Xin wanted to say something, but Tang Kaixuan waved his hand: "Eat." ”
Li Lei stretched out his hand and pulled Tang Xin, stopping her from continuing to speak, since Tang Kaixuan didn't want to talk more, it was pointless to say anything more.
People are inherently self-aware, and Li Lei knows very well that even if his own son is the mayor of Dongjiang City, in the eyes of Tang Kaixuan, it has no meaning. After all, the emperor is far away, and the cause of Kaixuan Group is now concentrated in the pearl, even if it returns to the province, it is also a key enterprise that will receive the attention of the provincial party committee and the provincial government.
Although it will not make Tang Kaixuan look down on him, Li Donghua's identity, in Tang Kaixuan's eyes, really can't let him have any thoughts about Li Lei.
In other words, although the rich people at Tang Kaixuan's level are not the top ones, at least as long as he does not take the initiative to violate the law and discipline, no one will engage with him. And Li Donghua's position, if he can go further and reach the level of the provincial and ministerial level, the main party, or can enter the ministry and hold heavy power, maybe Tang Kaixuan will be jealous. If he is only the mayor of Dongjiang City, even if he is the secretary of the municipal party committee, in Tang Kaixuan's heart, there is no difference between him and an ordinary leader.
Officials, businessmen, and businessmen, although officials are greater than businessmen, also score compared with what kind of people.
The simplest example, a big guy like Ma Yun and Ma Huateng, does he need to care about the thoughts of a mayor or the leader of the municipal party committee?
Wealth has accumulated to a certain extent, unless it is facing the top political bosses, ordinary leading cadres really have no qualifications to make people fearful.
Tang Kaixuan understands this truth, and Li Lei naturally understands it.
Tang Kaixuan didn't seem to like to talk during the meal, so the three of them even ate a little dull at this meal, except for Li Lei's occasional action of picking up vegetables for Tang Xin, which made Tang Kaixuan's brows furrow slightly, this meal can be said to be uneventful.
And watching Li Lei pull Tang Xin's unfavorite food into his bowl from time to time and eat it, the corners of Tang Kaixuan's mouth twitched a few times, glanced at a pair of children, but did not speak.
After eating, he came to the living room and sat down, Tang Kaixuan didn't speak, and began to read the newspaper by himself.
Tang Xinxiu frowned slightly, and was about to speak, but Li Lei shook his head slightly, signaled Tang Xin not to speak, sat opposite Tang Kaixuan by himself, agreed to pick up a newspaper as well, and began to read it.
Time passed minute by minute, and the living room was very quiet, except for the sound of Li Lei and Tang Kaixuan occasionally flipping through the newspaper, only the sound of Tang Xin turning on the news on the TV.
"Ringing ringing!"
The phone rang for a while, Chen Hanjie walked over to pick up the phone, then whispered a few words, walked to Tang Kaixuan with his mobile phone, and whispered: "The company's phone." ”
Tang Kaixuan took the phone, stood up and walked to the study, obviously, there was something in the company.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Seeing his father walk into the study, Tang Xin sat beside Li Lei and couldn't help complaining about him for a while.
In her eyes, Li Lei didn't hurry up to show his attitude to his father at this time and win a good impression on him, but he remained silent all the time, which really made her a little incomprehensible.
Li Lei smiled slightly: "What, I'm afraid that I will be kicked out by your father?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, my dad is not like that." Tang Xin's face was slightly red, and he glared at Li Lei and said.
She was actually a little worried, after all, her father and mother were two people, especially compared to Mu Wanqing, Tang Kaixuan was definitely not the kind of good-tempered person.
In other words, if Mu Wanqing might give Li Lei time and a chance to impress herself, then Tang Kaixuan is very likely not to give Li Lei a chance at all and drive him out directly.
"It's okay, don't worry, I know what to do." Li Lei patted Tang Xin's hand and said with a smile.
Anyway, at this time, I have to give Tang Xin confidence, otherwise it will be really difficult for her to be caught in the middle.
Tang Xin looked at Li Lei, but found that his eyes were very clear, his face was calm, for no reason, Tang Xin felt a sense of peace of mind, and finally relaxed a little.
The two of them sat for a while, Chen Hanjie walked out of the study, walked to the front of the sofa, and smiled at Li Lei: "Xiao Li, Mr. Tang invites you in." ”
Tang Xin was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Chen Hanjie in surprise: "Uncle Chen, what did you say?" ”
Chen Hanjie said: "Mr. Tang invited Xiao Li to come in and talk. ”
Tang Xin's face changed slightly, she couldn't figure out how she thought about it, what did her father do when she asked Li Lei to go in, could it be that he objected to the two of them being together and let Li Lei break up with him?
Li Lei was also surprised, a little bit unsure why Tang Kaixuan did this.
But anyway, since people want to go in by themselves, Li Lei will always have to face this big boss Tang directly.
Giving Tang Xin a reassuring look, Li Lei stood up, tidied himself up, and followed Chen Hanjie into Tang Kaixuan's study.
As soon as he entered the door, Li Lei saw a cabinet full of books, Tang Kaixuan was taking out a book, looking at the dense notes on it, Li Lei couldn't help but be taken aback, if all the books here Tang Xin's father had read them, and had made so many notes, then this Uncle Tang was not a simple character.
"Mr. Tang, Xiao Li is here." Chen Hanjie said respectfully.
Tang Kaixuan took the book in his hand, nodded, and said to Chen Hanjie: "You go to the door and keep guard, don't let anyone disturb us." ”
After a pause, he thought for a moment and said, "Including Xinxin." ”
Hearing this, Li Lei understood, it seems that Tang Kaixuan has something to say to himself.
