Chapter 12: Temptation
As the feast ended, the guests who had come to congratulate and the guests of other companies left in good spirits. They deliberately gave the rest of their time to the employees of Lingyun Group.
The mini-party began.
The podium was soon set up as a karaoke stage, and some of the young employees took the stage to sing.
Ning Feiyang and the young man sat in a rest area away from the banquet area, and the two sat opposite each other, tasting the Longjing tea specially sent by the hotel staff.
"Kevin, congratulations, now that you're the director. At such a young age, he became the China account director of an internationally renowned bank. The afterlife is terrifying. Ning Feiyang's eyes were full of appreciation.
"Mr. Ning. It's over. I'm just a classmate, plus I'm an American citizen. You know. Westerners have always put Chinese employees at bay. As long as it is an American, even if it is a mediocre person, they can hold an important position in China, which is actually supervision. There is nothing to congratulate on this. Lu Kaiwen replied in a flat tone.
"Really, fake. In any case, a city like yours now makes ordinary young people bow down. At your age, who isn't sharp. It's rare. Kevin, I'll give you a suggestion, you must keep this low profile, this is a valuable quality based on Chinese society. Ning Feiyang looked carefully at the young man opposite.
"Thank you. I must keep in mind Mr. Ning's teachings. Hehe," a sly smile appeared on Kevin Lu's knife-like face.
"You. Always. I can't figure out which of your words is serious and which is a joke. By the way, you seem to have a lot of complaints about Bank H just now, is this your sincere words? Ning Feiyang seemed to be unintentionally showing concern.
Lu Kaiwen smiled, and he was silent for a while, as if he was looking for the right words to answer Ning Feiyang's concern.
"Truth or words. Let's put it this way. Foreign companies and banks, which give the impression of being efficient in China, are also increasingly showing the malaise of institutional rigidity. For example, they are often unable to let go of their status as bosses, one who pursues his own status and refuses to put down his position to win customers. In order to maintain their external image, their operating costs and after-sales costs are extremely high, and high profits and high costs have become their two major characteristics. Their biggest drawback is their refusal to integrate into the Chinese market and to put on the coat of China. Now foreign capital enjoys super-national treatment, and taxes also take a big advantage, but what about in the future. Mr. Ning, do you think this honeymoon period will be very long? Kevin Lu expounded his views without hurry.
"How can you just talk about other people's things. But you do have a point. My experience is the best proof of that. When I first started doing business, all levels and ordinary people regarded foreign capital as gods. Looking at the past decade, foreign brands have also begun to produce in China and then transfer out, and some fields have also allowed Chinese to invest themselves. Now we can compete with you foreign capital. What a change. Ning Feiyang's expression changed rapidly with his tone, first angry, then calm, and finally high-spirited.
Kevin Lu just listened quietly, and the only change was that his eyes were matching the other party.
"Hehe, Xiao Lu, it's a gaffe. Maybe it's because I'm getting older, and I'm getting more and more nagging. Ning Feiyang finally stopped sighing.
"Where, Mr. Ning, this is the real love. That's why we're together. I always get some inspiration from you. I've gotten a lot of helpful help from you since we met at the antique market, but I just didn't tell you. Thank you. Lu Kaiwen looked admiring.
"Yes, the few times we met, I remember it vividly. A common hobby makes us a year-old friend. Didn't I learn a lot of new things from you? Isn't it also your credit for the current transformation? Ning Feiyang sighed from the bottom of his heart.
"Where, where. It's over. Kevin Lu gave up his hand.
"Haha, but your Chinese dialect is so good now, and your Chinese etiquette is so skillful, this is really my credit." Ning Feiyang laughed.
"Of course. That's true. Come, Jing Ning always has a cup of tea. Good tea. Kevin Lu also sincerely agreed.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"Kevin, I want you to help me. If you're not happy at Bank H, I'm ready to wait. This is my sincere words, and there will be time for you to think about it. You have your own company, and I think Bank H is just a springboard for you to get acquainted with China. I'm here to give you a better understanding of the Chinese market. And in my place absolutely gives you power and zìyóu. Ning Feiyang stared at the other party.
Lu Kaiwen didn't answer immediately, just looked back at the other party intently.
"Mr. Ning. You speak my heart. I really don't want to spend too much jīng energy on Bank H. I'm coming back to invest, and as the projects unfold, I'll turn more and more of my jīng efforts to those projects. But in doing so, I will also delay your affairs. I think it's better to forget it. Kevin Lu is open and honest.
"Hi. You come to my company to help me do some decision-making analysis. You don't have to do regular business. The most important thing is that you are by my side and I am at ease. As you know, China is in a critical period of change, and Lingyun is also in a critical period of transformation. I need you as a financial management talent in the international financing market. More importantly, you are someone I trust. Ning Feiyang's eyes became more earnest when he looked at the other party.
Lu Kaiwen also stared at the other party without blinking.
"No, Mr. Ning. You're hiding something from me. You have something unspeakable. You didn't see me as a friend. Lu Kaiwen suddenly burst out of a sentence.
Ning Feiyang was stunned for a moment, his eyes became a little flickering, and he was fighting fiercely in his heart.
He slowly withdrew his gaze and sighed.
"Alas, I still can't hide it from you. I don't want to tell you now, in that case, will you help me? Ning Feiyang played with the teacup in his hand and no longer stared at the other party.
"Hehe, this is my big brother Ning. Little brother help you. Helping you fight trouble. Lu Kaiwen on the other side smiled, revealing his white gums. At this moment he was very high-profile.
With a "bang", the teacup in Ning Feiyang's hand fell on the table, and the tea spilled on the blue tablecloth.
He grabbed Kevin Lu's hand.
"Okay, let's cure the stubborn disease of the family business together." Ning Feiyang was a little speechless.
"If I fall in love wrong, I am the thing that makes Mr. Ning embarrassed. It's just a coincidence. Kevin Lu has turned back to a low profile.
The two of them filled their cups with tea and touched them vigorously.
"I still need some time. I have to explain the affairs of Bank H, and my own investment company must also arrange it. Lu Kaiwen said sincerely.
"I know. You remember. I need the momentum you brought here. With you, I can stop holding back. I'm sure you'll know my difficulties as soon as you come over. So I'm not going to pick it out. You are in a detached position in my company, just let go of your hands and feet. I'm waiting for you. Ning Feiyang was really a bit of a swagger at the moment.
"Huh. Yes, my Mr. Ning. Lu Kaiwen kept up with Ning Feiyang's rhythm in time.
After the two finished talking about business, they looked at the performance stage in the distance with great interest.
Looking at the young man's cheerful figure, Ning Feiyang suddenly seemed to miss something.
"Kevin. Ning Yu entered the company. He turned to Kevin Lu, who was also interested in watching the performance.
"Yes, this stunned boy has finally turned a corner. Did he succumb to Mr. Ning's patriarchy? Kevin Lu laughed and teased again.
"You kid. He came in on his own initiative. Unexpected, right? Ning Feiyang winked at Kevin Lu.
"Huh? Looks like there's content. Lu Kaiwen returned a meaningful look.
"Oh, look there." Ning Feiyang pointed to the table where the new employee was.
From the shadowy banquet, Lu Kaiwen vaguely captured Ning Yu's figure.
He looked at it for a while, and finally understood what Ning Feiyang meant.
"Okay, I'll take a look. Mr. Ning, this can be regarded as a free gift. Kevin Lu joked. His eyes didn't take off the table in the distance, and he seemed to be thinking about something.
"Ning Yu will convince you. You go to the most appropriate. Ning Feiyang was also looking at the table.
Both of them were thinking about things at the same time.
