Chapter 128 There is no way to avoid it
Lu Kaiwen, who had not rested, sat in his office and closed his eyes and listened to the melodious music of "City in the Sky", which brought him into a state of meditation.
In his dream-like meditation, the visions of his mother, Ning Ke'er, Su Qing, and Ning Feiyang are constantly intertwined.
I can finally get away from the troubles of the company for a while.
Su Qing's sudden outburst of catharsis and her grandmother's entrustment to her made Lu Kaiwen fall into a contradiction.
I need to sort out my feelings and sort out my past.
Kevin Lu floated in meditation, trying to catch a ray of light in his daze. He tried to make a decision.
The ringtone of the mobile phone shattered his confusion and his sleepy dreams.
"It's me. I'm downstairs in Lingyun, do you still have any instructions? Cheng Mingyang's somewhat gloomy voice came from the mobile phone.
Kevin Lu pondered for a while.
"I looked at your plan and there is nothing to add. He's just a backhand for us, and for a proud and talented person, you don't set him up as an opponent, you still have to make friends with him. I don't have anything specific in the company right now, so maybe he won't choose me in the end. He is a smart person, and you have to be a smart person too. So, take the pace yourself. Good luck! Lu Kaiwen explained a few words and hung up the phone.
He stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and as far as his eyes could see, he saw the crowd in the plaza below.
Xiao Wei paused for a moment after stepping out of the elevator, and he took advantage of the brief break to adjust his emotions.
When Xiao Wei's first reaction was to unconsciously frown when he received this call.
When he put down the phone, he immediately reacted to the fact that he hadn't seen this friend for several months.
This friend actually gave himself the feeling of being an uninvited guest.
The apprehension in my heart became heavier and heavier as I walked towards the reception hall downstairs.
What if he's here to collect a debt?
Xiao Wei was thinking about his own countermeasures.
Xiao Wei's mood did not relax in the slightest because of the enthusiasm that rushed to him.
"Brother Xiao, I originally wanted to go upstairs to find you directly, but when I got downstairs, I felt that it was better to sit here and drink tea and chat with you. Here we are like friends, and in your office I am more like a salesman engaged in supply. You won't blame me for the arrangement. Cheng Mingyang smiled and handed over a cigarette.
Xiao Wei took the cigarette mechanically, he was not ready to expose his heart.
"I'm sorry, I should have agreed to your invitation to your event. But you know, we've been busy with the listing thing, and everyone is red-eyed for the equity distribution thing. I'm no exception. You don't blame me. Lao Li, are they all okay? Xiao Wei started his rhythm by smoking.
"How dare I blame you. We know you're going to do big things. No, I just heard that your big business is almost done, so I came to visit. It's not just to congratulate, but also to have your own things to do. What do you think? You can make a fortune after becoming a shareholder, right? Cheng Mingyang squeezed his eyes at the other party.
Xiao Wei smiled bitterly.
"Brother Xiao, I really admire you, you are a person who does great things. It's not like we're hanging all the time. It's okay if you don't come, Lao Li and they don't look for me much, without you, they don't want to party with me at all. You know, I'm not a person who likes the thrill of betting. Cheng Mingyang was a little embarrassed.
Xiao Wei felt a trace of nervousness in his heart, although the other party's tone was an understatement, but he who had been vigilant at the moment suddenly became nervous.
Cheng Mingyang quickly buried his head in tea.
Cheng Mingyang's actions made Xiao Wei secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
"yes, they're all good friends, and I still miss them. There must be something wrong with you. Xiao Wei doesn't want to go around in circles anymore, he will only be passive if he continues to greet like this.
"Hey, hey. You still know me. I've been putting my hands on S City for the past few months. I annexed several small factories in the suburbs in one go. What do you think? Brother, I'm okay. Cheng Mingyang raised his head with a gloomy smile.
Xiao Wei's heart moved, and he suddenly realized that he had neglected one thing before.
I despised this supplier who had always kept a low profile.
He shouldn't be an ordinary supplier. An ordinary supplier will not approach itself on the basis of such a strong strength, and an ordinary supplier will not deliberately ignore profits. Cheng Mingyang's villa for the party, his momentum of spending a lot of money, his meticulous and unobtrusive means, all of this immediately poured into his mind.
"Brother Xiao, I am optimistic about the real estate market in S City. In the past, our cement and masonry were transported long distances from Province F, but now it is not so troublesome. Little brother, I can say that I started to make real money in S City. Cheng Mingyang's smug expression was beyond words.
"Then congratulations. I've always been upset about your insistence on low-cost supply. As a friend, I'm happy for everything you have now. Xiao Wei perfunctory to the other party. He didn't believe that this low-key "friend" was just asking for a congratulations.
"Thank you, Brother Xiao. The little brother got it. Don't hide it from Brother Xiao, my little brother is here to ask for your help this time. This is a favor that you can help the little brother. Cheng Mingyang diligently poured a cup of tea for Xiao Wei. His eyes began to become focused.
Xiao Wei's heart hung in the air, and what he was worried about finally happened.
Looking at Xiao Wei, who had been silent for a long time, Cheng Mingyang waited quietly for a long time.
"Fame, I'm just an ordinary manager in Lingyun Company, and I can't do many things. If I can't help you, don't blame me. Xiao Wei spoke, and he simply adopted the strategy of retreating as advancing. A tactful rejection may anger the opponent, but he needs the opponent to show his cards.
In the past few months, the other party has not made any requests, and there is no hint to make him worry, and he should stimulate the other party to expose his hole cards rather than waiting.
"Hehe, Brother Xiao wanted to refuse me before I could say anything. Well, I'll be honest. Brother Xiao, don't speculate about the younger brother's personality, all the official affairs that the younger brother and Brother Xiao talk about will only be a win-win situation. If the younger brother has any reluctant request, you can just refuse categorically. What do you think? Cheng Mingyang's eyes lit up suddenly, and the determination in his tone overflowed.
Xiao Wei looked at the other party deeply for a while, and he was judging the other party's heart.
"Little brother is still the same sentence, I like you, I like long-term cooperation. I see long-term benefits. I like my friends more. Cheng Mingyang spit out his words word by word.
Xiao Wei shook his head gently, as if to put aside the distractions in his mind.
"Let's hear it and see what it is, right?" Xiao Wei spoke, although he was a little hesitant, but he was ready to satisfy the other party.
The tone of the other party is sincere, and the attitude of the other party is sincere.
The other party made himself faintly moved. The other party did not have any domineering behavior. There is nothing that threatens to be there with that money.
"Brother Xiao, I'm here to borrow the treasury. The brothers' annexation of these small scattered factories and the ensuing production were hasty. The popularity of the younger brother is not bad, so there are a lot of orders. But you know, cement storage requires a warehouse. It's raining in S City, and I can't do anything about it for a while. That's why I thought of Brother Xiao. It just so happens that Lingyun Company does not have a large-scale hoarding of materials because it is listed now, so Lingyun Company is my best choice. The younger brother is ready to spend money to borrow your company's treasury. What about my request? Cheng Mingyang stared at Xiao Wei almost without blinking, and his eyes were full of expectation.
Xiao Wei's hanging heart gradually fell with the other party's narrative.
Although the other party's request was unexpected, such a reasonable request made him have no way to worry.
The only concern that prevented me from agreeing immediately was not from this sudden request, but from the person in front of me.
There was always something behind the sincere face of this young man who was not yet forty years old.
All the uneasiness stems from that dream-like trip to Macau, and all the uneasiness stems from those two seemingly coincidental gambling masters. All the uneasiness comes from the careful thinking behind the young face.
Cheng Mingyang just kept his expectant eyes, he kept waiting quietly.
"It's not a difficult thing to do. Your request is also very reasonable. Just tell me, how do you know the vacancy of our company's warehouse? How much do you know about our company? Xiao Wei's tone was very calm and resolute. He also poured his attention into his eyes staring at each other. It was the first time he had stared at the other party so intently.
"Huh. Mr. Xiao. I've been doing business with Lingyun for almost three years. Do you remember our first contact? I'm sure you've forgotten, but I remember it very clearly. No way, I'm eating this bowl of rice. If you want to do a good business, you have to make friends with all the people who may be useful, and you have to know everything you should know. I have more than one friend in Lingyun Company. Cheng Mingyang's laughter was full of confidence and neither humility nor arrogance.
Xiao Wei nodded lightly. There is no gap between the other party's answer and his own expectations, a watertight answer. An answer that reassures yourself.
"Mr. Xiao, in order to keep you from being embarrassed, I will pay half a year's rent first." Cheng Mingyang reached out and took out a check from the bag next to him and put it in front of Xiao Wei.
Xiao Wei didn't look at the check, he just kept looking at the other party's young face.
It's not an enviable face, it's even a little ugly. The dark skin and the hard edges and corners characteristic of the people of Province F make people reluctant to look at it too much.
But the shrewdness, ability, and enthusiasm in each other's eyes make people close.
"Brother Xiao. Thank you for your support. The younger brother also wants to say a digression. You don't seem to have to deliberately avoid me. Now that we've become friends, you can go with the flow. Since we are friends, I will not embarrass Brother Xiao. Please also Brother Xiao not make me sad. In the past few months, the younger brother has been a little sad, if not for anything else, but for the inexplicable hesitation every time he is ready to visit his friends. I hope I won't have such hesitation in the future. Cheng Mingyang met the other party's gaze and considered his words word by word.
Xiao Wei felt a little guilty, although this feeling was fleeting, but he knew very well that this was really moving.
