Chapter 18: Pie in the Sky?
Mo Zishi said that he wanted to introduce me to a girlfriend, and he thought that I would definitely be impressed, which was an incredible thing for me, and he asked me, "Where are you now?" ”
I'll tell you the truth: "I'm on my way to Shanghai." ”
"That's great, look at it, isn't this fate, I just talked to the girl about this today, and you came over by yourself in the evening, and the set script is like it, I think this thing will definitely be done! But you don't have to thank me, it's my job! ”
I was confused by what he said, so I asked for a while, "Doctor Mo, are you really a brain doctor?" ”
"Of course!"
"I strongly advise you, while showing others their heads, you should also pay attention to your own brain health, I heard that some brain diseases have an incubation period, once they break out, there is no cure!"
Mo Zishi was stunned by what I said, and then reacted, and said angrily: "You really don't understand American humor, I have a communication barrier with you!" It's too bad to speak! ”
"You don't understand much about the feelings of the descendants of Yan and Huang, and you don't know what to do, and you go deeper, do you understand the meaning of this?"
"The words handed down from the feudal society are also believed in as creeds, and you don't look at the pedantic to the extreme, in the city of Shanghai, how many people break up and divorce every day, and you will be treated as a monster by others if you are so stubborn!"
"Be a monster for love, I don't think it's a shame Doctor Mo, the signal on the train is not very good, I won't say more, if you are willing to give me a chance to invite you to dinner, I will invite you to dinner very sincerely, thank you for helping me and Mi Cai such a big favor!" I hung up the phone as I spoke, then looked at the scenery flashing outside the car window, shook my head and smiled This Mo Zishi is very interesting, although he intends to do bad things, but he also does it very funny! God knows which of the cāo he gave me idleness
At this time, it is already spring, at 6 o'clock, the sky of Shanghai is still hanging a round of sunset that radiates afterglow to the earth, people who get off work, are still in such a hurry, busy with a dinner, busy relieving the fatigue generated by the day, so the whole city is swallowed up by busyness, looking at it, it is really difficult to find a place for the soul to perch here, and the ubiquitous pressure seems to be the innate temperament of this international metropolis, so that the leisurely sunset looks very discordant!
I remembered that countless partings started at the airport in this city, and I suddenly didn't like it here!
I bought a bouquet of flowers, ready to give it to Jane Wei later, just after paying the money and waiting for change, but the shoulder was patted by the person behind me, I subconsciously turned my head, standing behind me was Mo Zishi, he looked at me and smiled, said: "Fortunately, there is not much traffic jam on the road, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to pick you up!" ”
I looked at him in amazement, I didn't know what to say for a while, I just felt that this person didn't like to leave room for people! But I really can't help it, after all, I saw him do his best in Janeway's affairs, and sometimes he spared no effort to do the work that the nurse did, and I couldn't turn my face with him for this little thing, although I was a little unhappy in my heart!
He looked at the flowers I was holding in my hand and said with a smile: "Zhaoyang, I think you are a man who can figure out the situation, sure enough, even the flowers are ready, and the girl I introduced to you later will definitely be very happy to see you so sincere!" ”
I was silent for a long time before I replied, "It's for Janeway." ”
He ignored it and said directly to me: "My car is parked in the parking lot opposite, let's hurry up now, I made an appointment with the girl at 7 o'clock, and it will be too late to get a traffic jam on the road!" ”
I finally got a little angry and asked sharply, "What's the matter?" ”
He was not in a hurry, he still said with a smile: "This is a matter that requires you to show your demeanor, at least I have asked the girl out, you have to go to an appointment or not, and then keep your demeanor and buy the order, didn't you say that you wanted to invite me to dinner, even if this meal is good." ”
I really can't compete with him, and I can't bear to be so annoyed by him so endlessly, so I simply agreed to his request to go to the appointment, I really want to see that he introduced me to the fairy who went all the way down, and dared to press the word heart on me again!
Before the night came, Mo Zishi drove me to the western restaurant he had booked in advance, and along the way, I didn't say anything more except to ask him about Jian Wei's physical condition in the past few days, just looked at the tall buildings and viaducts outside the car window, but forgot about their appearance in the next second, I really couldn't let myself deeply integrate into this city that I didn't like very much.
We arrived at the restaurant within the agreed time, and before getting out of the car, Mo Zishi reminded me to bring the bouquet of flowers that I was going to give to Jian Wei, but I couldn't match the demeanor he had imposed on me with his wishful thinking, so I opened the car door and walked towards the restaurant in the most crisp way.
This is a very high-end Western restaurant, even the waiters inside are using the most original European and American people, and the soothing European and American songs played, with a simple but not coping decoration style, make the whole restaurant look very stylish, this is indeed a place that the upper class people like, all the way down, I have seen countless luxury goods placed around women, therefore, I really do not doubt that the woman introduced by Mo Zishi is a woman who is not lacking in material, otherwise I would not come to this restaurant with obvious consumption characteristics for a date.
Mo Zishi finally caught up with me, he looked towards a spot near the window, I followed his gaze, and sure enough, I saw a young woman, perhaps because Mi Cai's appearance lingered in my mind, so that I was reluctant to describe the appearance of this woman, although she looked extraordinary and had an unforgettable whitening skin
Mo Zishi nodded to the woman before me, and when we approached, the woman stood up from her seat very politely, waiting for Mo Zishi to introduce us to each other, Mo Zishi first said to me: "Zhaoyang, this Miss Qi Zhihui is a friend I met when I was studying in the United States, and she has been working in a financial unit since returning to China, and she is the most typical gold-collar family in Shanghai. ”
I politely said "Lucky meeting", Mo Zishi said to Qi Zhihui again: "This gentleman is Zhaoyang, currently operating two companies, and a mobile game company is in preparation, I heard that it has been successfully financed, and several of his companies have a market value of more than 100 million, so he is definitely the leader in our post-80s generation!" ”
Mo Zishi held me up so high, I was not surprised, it was nothing more than to take advantage of the loneliness and loneliness that Mi Cai had after leaving, so that I could find a new love, so that Mi Cai could stay in the United States without worry, and let Yan Zhuomei arrange for me to be indeed lonely, indeed lonely, and the visible temptation is even more difficult to resist, but he despised me after all, I have taken waiting for Mi Cai as the most important belief in my life, even if this belief is so pedantic and stupid in the eyes of people who do not understand!
The three of them sat down, Mo Zishi and I sat on one side, Qi Zhihui sat alone, Mo Zishi beckoned the waiter to start ordering, I looked absentmindedly at the very small world shrunk outside the window, and then took a sip of free tea, at this moment my mind is not on this blind date that was insisted on arranged, I am still worried about the funding gap of the advertising company, even if I transfer the industry of the literary road in Yangzhou, there is at least 15 million debts that cannot be repaid, and this will be my biggest crisis in the future, I believe that if this debt is not paid, the trouble of the advertising agency will not stop for a day, and it may not be long before I receive a summons from the court to face those lawsuits arising from the debt.
The ordered things were delivered to us by the waiter in turn, and the dinner officially began, at this time, Mo Zishi began to be busy matching me and Qi Zhihui again, he said: "You two are my friends, and I think you are really suitable, so I introduced you to you today, if you have plans for further development, I will really feel that I have done a particularly meaningful thing!" After all, you have also reached the age when men should marry and women should get married. ”
Qi Zhihui glanced at me, then smiled, as if waiting for me to make a statement first, but this indifference is enough to prove that she is a woman who has had a lot of emotional experiences, and at this stage she can separate her feelings and treat them.
I politely responded to Qi Zhihui with a smile, and then said to Mo Zishi, "Brother Zishi, can you answer me a few questions in front of Miss Qi Zhihui?" ”
"Well, that's fine."
"You have to make sure you're going to be honest with every question I have, or we'll have a hard time talking."
Mo Zishi was afraid that I would throw my face and leave at any time because I was dissatisfied with his arrangement, so he hurriedly replied: "Definitely answer truthfully!" ”
I asked him with a stern face, "Do I have a girlfriend at the moment?" ”
Mo Zishi was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Well, yes, yes, but"
I interrupted him and asked, "Next question, has my girlfriend made it clear that she will end the relationship with me?" ”
"There is really no need to have a clear attitude towards this, everyone knows that she went to the United States, and she may stay for three or five years, and besides, you and your girlfriend are no longer in their early 20s, so there is really not much time for you to squander, people, you still have to stand in front of you"
It was Qi Zhihui who interrupted Mo Zishi this time, and she said angrily: "Okay, you Mo Zishi, you treat your friends like this, saying that you are introducing me to a boyfriend, but in fact, you want me to be a junior who destroys other people's feelings, what kind of bad intentions are you pressing?" This friend can't do it, you go to death! ”
The more Qi Zhihui spoke, the more angry she became, she got up and picked up the leather bag next to her and smashed Mo Zishi, and then left angrily, Mo Zishi didn't care about the blind date, and hurriedly chased in the direction where Qi Zhihui left, so that she could listen to her explanation, I shook my head and smiled, feeling relieved because I had ended this farce, and then forked his untouched steak onto his plate, making sure that he could eat enough tonight, and then cheered up to face the severe challenges of tomorrow
The next day, I got up early, and then went to the advertising agency, and arranged the work of the relevant personnel, I asked the remaining planners to go on a business trip to Beijing and Shenzhen, giving them the opportunity to contact some planning companies that serve the game industry, the purpose of this is to hope that they can adapt to the change of the planning project in advance, and I don't want the company's debt troubles to affect their mood, I decided to carry this matter alone, and then recall them after it is resolved. Let them have a peaceful mind to face the next work, and at this time only me and the CFO are left in the company.
Today, there are a few suppliers and previous advertising business partners to ask for arrears, their attitude is more intense, and even in the excitement smashed some of the company's equipment, but I still hold the understanding, they do because our arrears have not been repaid, and affect their company's operations, and even have the risk of bankruptcy, these years, no one is easy to do business, I can only keep appeasing their feelings, and promise to pay off 30% of their arrears within three days, let them solve the urgent need first, and this money comes from the transfer of Yangzhou industry on the road of literature and art, but this practice of demolishing the east wall and making up the west wall is not a long-term solution after all, and I am deeply distressed by it!
At noon, I was sitting in the office with the CFO eating fast food when I suddenly received a strange phone call, and I answered and asked, "Hey, hello, who are you?" ”
"I'm Sun Youmin from Bank of Communications, Sunshine Branch."
"Hello, hello, President Sun!" I said again and again, but I was very surprised in my heart, why did he call me, yesterday I really went to the bank to talk to him about applying for a business loan, but he refused.
"Are you free this afternoon? There's something I'd like to talk to you about. ”
"Of course I'm free, should I go directly to the bank to find you?"
After hesitating for a moment, he replied, "You don't have to go to the bank, we'll meet at Pinya Tea House at two o'clock in the afternoon." ”
I answered, but my heart was even more confused, originally I thought that he called me because the business loan matter had taken a turn for the better, but he asked me to meet at the Pinya Tea House, what is it that needs to be avoided in the bank, and what kind of variables are there in this?
At two o'clock in the afternoon, I came to the Pinya Tea House as promised, and I met President Sun, who had always rejected me very much, in the private room on the second floor, and his briefcase was very conspicuously placed on the table, obviously not for the purpose of private friendship.
After I greeted him, I sat down across from him, he didn't gossip a little, and said to me straight to the point: "Mr. Zhao, we haven't dealt with each other before, but I came to you this time, but I really brought you good news."
Keeping my composure, I asked, "What's the good news?" ”
"A friend gave me 15 million privately, and asked me to transfer the money to you, and then you provide me with your own private account number, or the company's account number, and I will transfer the money to you."
I looked at him in amazement, and at the same time I was thinking about who would provide me with a huge amount of aid of 15 million in this way, if this was a pie from the sky, this pie would be a little too big!
