Chapter 35: Two Phoenix Men

Pan Yang, who advocates attacking and attacking again, rarely takes a defensive position, and is used to being aggressive both emotionally and professionally, which shows that Chen Yuanshu's status in his mind is extraordinary. Chen Yuanshu and Pan Yang have been nearly 10 years since they first met, and they are one of the very few people who can talk to him from the bottom of their hearts, maybe just as a businessman, just like the vice president of Nanjing Panda Group before, he will be honored to be able to talk to him, but as a woman who has rejected him twice, it is not easy to get along, Chen Yuanshu sighed quietly, turned his head and said: "Do you still have Ma Kaitai's number in your mobile phone, if you have, make a call, we are waiting for them in Baguo Buyi on Longpanzhong Road." , or grilled squid under the overpass on Hongwu South Road. You can't just let us get together every time you go back to China, that's not good. ”

Pan Yang took out a veteran Dongxin mobile phone and said with a smile: "I'm a stinky temper, but I'm single-minded." That's what they called. I'm not afraid of troublesome them, now those unrighteous turtle sons are all golden collars with families and careers, and I am a defeated general, how dare I bother them. ”

Chen Yuanshu said softly: "At critical junctures again and again, they can't stick a knife in your ribs, you are very disappointed in them, but when you have a wife and children, you are no longer a person's responsibility and burden, you will understand that the hero is indeed short of breath, and he can't withstand the polishing of life, you are generous and tolerant, and those friends are not good, at least they don't do things that fall into the well for you, you will be content." ”

Pan Yang squinted his eyes, making it impossible to tell whether he was sad or melancholy, playing with the old version of the mobile phone that was badly worn, and refused to make a speech, as if Chen Yuanshu's words touched his sadness.

Chen Yuanshu drove the Maserati through the streets of Nanjing, tepid, every time she crossed the zebra crossing, she would take the initiative to slow down to let pedestrians pass first, she looked at the mobile phone that was really not elegant, it was seven or eight years of use, I really don't know whether it should be called a surname or a personality disorder, thinking of Pan Yang's grievances and grievances with a group of former dead friends before going abroad, Chen Yuanshu had a headache, mixed feelings, and said softly: "Take a step back and say, you go back to China now, even if you don't want to have too much intersection with them, there is no harm in being a friend of wine and meat, China is no better than multinational companies, and you have to honestly move out the same thing that you sneered at, and no matter how powerful you are, it is impossible for you to fight against the entire system. ”

Pan Yang dialed a number with the shabby mobile phone, and while waiting for a response, he looked at Chen Yuanshu and smiled, "I listen to you." ”

If you were someone else, when you saw Pan Yang with such a low profile, I am afraid that I would have been grateful for it a long time ago. Chen Yuanshu naturally doesn't need to be grateful to Dade, you must know that the mobile phone in Pan Yang's hand was the first gift she gave him that year, and Pan Yang happened to be swept away by Dongxin Group at that time.

"I'm Pan Yang, just returned to China, Yuanshu said let's get together together, the old place, eat barbecue under the overpass on Hongwu South Road, you help me ask others if they are free, Yuanshu and I will be there immediately." After Pan Yang finished speaking, he hung up the phone, so neat that he was not close to people, but Chen Yuanshu could imagine the excitement of the person on the other end of the phone.

Pan Yang is a man with a very aggressive surname and a surname of aggression, not only Chen Yuanshu knows this, basically all colleagues and friends who have come into contact with him or opponents and enemies have deep sympathy, he has a strong desire to dominate, always high-spirited, in the early years, he was a civil servant with a political axe, ran through pyramid schemes after going to sea, and did a series of professional managers, perhaps because of the unaccustomed to the Chinese business circle, the achievements he made have been inversely proportional to the remuneration he gets, and he was depressed until he was recommended to enter CVRD, In the world's largest iron ore producer, his talent has been fully unleashed, Vale has always been known as the "engine of the Amazon", five years from a small role in the Chinese office to one of the candidates for the company's CEO, by the world's authoritative financial magazine called the new designer of the engine, if successful, then he will be more brilliant than the Chinese college student spiritual mentor Kai-Fu Lee, after all, the latter is at most only the vice president of Microsoft and the president of Google Asia Pacific.

Although defeated, it is still glorious.

This is the surname of several small but powerful circles along the coast for Pan Yang's failure in this promotion, but Chen Yuanshu will not use these four words to comfort Pan Yang. Eating the familiar barbecue under the overpass, Pan Yang was silent, and Chen Yuanshu did not interrupt his thoughts, this is where Pan Jiuduan is incompatible with the Chinese business circle, he clearly knows that it is a Chinese custom to wait for all the characters to sit down before opening a meal, which is basic politeness, but he is not willing to waste a minute of his time and is always too lazy to wait, unless he is waiting for Chen Yuanshu.

Five or six pairs of men and women who are about 35 years old have come one after another, either BMW 750 or Mercedes-Benz S600, men are awe-inspiring, even if occasionally one or two are congenitally deficient in face and figure, but it is enough to make all kinds of beauties look sideways. The woman is bejeweled, beautiful, proud, like a precious Persian cat, with cold eyes.

A row of famous cars with a price of more than one million made passers-by amazed, Pan Yang saw that they were not moved, but nodded with those excited successful gold collars, perfunctory, Chen Yuanshu, who was helpless about this, had to play the role of singing red face, fortunately they were already surprised by Pan Yang's white face, and they took the initiative to be close to Pan Yang, but a few women around them were a little puzzled by this, people rely on clothes and Buddha rely on gold, they just stepped into this group of men's circle and looked sideways and vertically, and they didn't see that Pan Yang had three heads and six arms, I don't understand why my man wants to come to eat barbecue with a hot head, not to mention greasy, the place he chose is dirty, but they each have some family background, and they don't have a vase to show their faces, after all, they are really inferior to the eldest lady of the Chen family.

Pan Yang never talked much, just caring about eating grilled squid, Chen Yuanshu could only keep playing round, plus those women they brought solemnly were not familiar with their friendship, they couldn't interject, they were absent-minded, several men wanted to say something, but every time they saw Pan Yang's calm and profound face, they wanted to talk and stopped, and finally, a successful man with a very feminine appearance stood up and immediately gathered everyone's attention, Pan Yang squinted at this man who used to be hardcore and wore a pair of pants together, and watched coldly, Chen Yuanshu couldn't stand his lukewarm outsider's look the most, and kicked him under the table, but Pan Yang still had the most hurtful posture.

"Jiuduan, go back to my house, I'll ask my mother to cook Hunan food for you, you'd better take that bite, my mother always thinks about you. She has not forgotten to knit scarves and woolen clothes for you every year over the years, and she also sewed a pair of cloth shoes for you this year, you don't treat me as a friend, I have nothing to say, I am sorry for you, but her old man is really good to you. Ma Kaitai bit open a bottle of beer with his teeth, poured it with his head up, and the eyes of the man who was famous in the Nanjing business district were slightly red, which made the [***] daughter-in-law, who had just married into the Ma family for half a year, stunned.

"The spicy winter bamboo shoots made by Aunt Hu are fragrant."

Pan Yang seemed to be reminiscing about the table of food back then, and said to himself: "I was poor when I was in school, and it was really fun to be able to go to your house for a meal." Aunt Hu is a good person, she will be a person and do things, you kid is like your father, philistine, snobbish, I am blind when I meet you, but I dare not forget Aunt Hu's love. ”

Ma Kaitai took off his glasses and smiled wryly.

Ma Kaitai's woman is secretly angry, she is 24 years old this year, her 34-year-old husband Ma Kaitai is handsome, talented in her career, and has a superior family background, there is no flaw at all, where does she understand the entanglement between two mature men who grew up in a greenhouse honeypot, relying on that little family background and more than 20 years of pampered arrogance, she slammed the chopsticks, which is already very subtle for her, and she usually pointed at Pan Yang's nose and scolded, Pan Yang has never seen any scene or face, laughed at this, Ma Kaitai slapped the table fiercely, turned his head and roared angrily: "Long hair and short knowledge, get out." ”

"Kaitai, you don't have any skills, that's pleasing to the eye." Pan Yang suddenly sighed with emotion, remembering that Ma Kaitai broke up with the school flower in order to "mess around" with him when he was a student, his hard heart softened slightly, and he looked at the little daughter-in-law who was scared stupidly, Pan Yang smiled and comforted: "Don't be afraid, he just did it for me, in fact, he feels sorry for you in his heart, believe me, he will definitely take you to the Golden Eagle at night to atone for your sins." ”

Chen Yuanshu nodded and smiled: "Now that Nanjing Golden Eagle is outdated, I have to go to Deji." ”

Those little daughters-in-law or vases finally roughly understood the weight of this man, and they didn't dare to take it lightly.

"Yuanshu, I heard that you recognized a godbrother, and you didn't introduce it to us?" A man who receives a salary at Yangzi Petrochemical joked.

"Now there are a lot of deeds about him in Nanjing, all kinds of things, all kinds of strange, you also let us see the true face of Lushan." The rest of the people chimed in.

"That's it, this kind of treasure can't be hidden, Sister Chen, we have to hug our thighs."

Pan Yang, who had been premeditated, did not forget to add fuel to the fire, and said with a smile: "Give a call and try it, come over when you are free, and there is no way if you are not available." ”

Chen Yuanshu had no choice but to call Chen Ergou, she gave a more or less hint on the phone, but he was stunned like an elm pimple and replied that he would leave immediately, which made Chen Yuanshu cry and laugh, Pan Yang and his group also slowed down their eating speed, and made up their minds to fight a protracted war, a group of people whispered, all talking about "Chen Fusheng", and even Pan Yang joined in and got a lot of gossip news.

Chen Ergou's appearance can only be said to be unremarkable, an Audi A4, that dress is not shocking, the appearance is not as good as Ma Kaitai to attract women, as soon as they meet, he is busy handing over business cards, with a little groveling gesture, a group of people are a little disappointed, rather than seeing the enthusiastic smiling face of the eldest lady of the Chen family, they are more willing to socialize with a young man who is full of domineering, although their circle can not be said to be a first-line circle in Nanjing or Jiangsu, but at least they talk and do things a little bit. In Jiangsu, as long as the opponent is not Wu Huang's level of [***], he will not retreat without a fight, he has long been accustomed to the style of Gongzi's brother, and occasionally ordinary people such as Pan Yang are also very high, so he is really not too interested in this young man who is marked as the deputy manager of Qinghe human resources on his business card, but Pan Yang, whose status has been far above this circle, is turning over with that business card, quite interested.

After sending the business card, Chen Ergou was pulled by Chen Yuanshu to sit down, and after Pan Yang accepted the business card, he said lightly: "A group of fox friends and dog friends must focus on catching a few good friends who can create wealth and benefits together, and among these good friends, you must cultivate one or two confidants, don't think that you can do how exquisite you are, friends all over the world, that's unrealistic, believe me, one is lucky, there are two, it's lucky." It's useless to give someone a pound or two of business cards, so you have to let others take the initiative to ask you. ”

Pan Yang said condescending words, but he did not have the slightest attitude of being a master to guide the maze, which is very contradictory, and this may be where the profundity of his Taoism lies.

Chen Yuanshu was about to say something, Pan Yang smiled slightly, and said: "Fusheng, the business card is actually enough for me alone, this group of people around me is too practical, if you don't have enough capital, you can't climb into their circle even if you kneel, I'm different, just treat my appetite." So in the future, when you do business, you have to grasp the main contradiction, when I entered the CVRD, the first thing was to find its No. 1 big boss Mao Sui recommended himself, once I ignored it, just twice, twice if it didn't work, three times, and finally waited until the 43rd email, he decided to come to the China office from the Brazilian headquarters to meet me, and then my biggest job was to pester him, dozens of vice president-level guys in Vale, I never looked at it, the next year, that old man was going to marry my granddaughter to me, so I taught you this, Yes, I am not happy that this group of sons and brothers around you want me to teach experience. ”

Chen Ergou was amazed, there are really not many guys who are so frank when they meet for the first time.

Chen Yuanshu scolded with a smile: "Fusheng, don't pay attention to this guy, believe in his set, ten of you will go crazy." ”

Pan Yang pouted and said: "We, children from poor backgrounds, don't go off the rails, and we can not only give you rich daughters a share of your life. What's wrong with the left side door, Deng Gong said that no matter whether the black cat or the white cat can catch the mouse, the cat is a good cat. ”

Chen Ergou nodded and said, "Reasonable." ”

"Do you usually read books? What have you been looking at lately? Pan Yang asked seemingly nonchalantly.

"Yes, the number of books read is about 4 books a month. Recently, I have been looking at Real Estate Investment Funds and paying attention to some details in terms of financing and investment. Chen Ergou replied, as if facing a great enemy, in the underworld, Zhu Yeqing gave him this feeling of being on his back, and then it was Old Man Qian, and then it was this unknown strange man. Of course he was nervous, and he also had an inferiority complex that was hard to ignore, but he was sitting next to Chen Yuanshu, she was one of the few women he couldn't deal with at will, she gave so much, no matter what her original intention was, Chen Ergou didn't want her to be disappointed at all, so he had to fight to the death with this difficult character in front of him.

A war without gunpowder began.

Chen Ergou can only defend for the time being.

Pan Yang's offensive is not turbulent, the knife is sharp, but the attack is extremely slow.

Chen Yuanshu can't interfere, he can only watch. It's not that she doesn't want to favor the godbrother who has been in the same boat for a long time, it's just that in her heart she is more or less looking forward to the end of this war. Although Ma Kaitai's group of outsiders knew Pan Yang's feelings for Chen Yuanshu very well, they couldn't have imagined that Pan Yang would regard Chen Ergou as an imaginary enemy, so this meal was quite harmonious, although Chen Ergou spread his net everywhere and tried to get involved in every level of the circle, but since Pan Yang spoke, he also clicked to the end, and Pan Yang's words did make him have an epiphany, grasp the main contradiction, this is interesting, Chen Ergou glanced at Chen Yuanshu beside him, and smiled in his heart, isn't this the main contradiction?

After the dinner, Chen Yuanshu was in a hurry to go home, and Chen Ergou volunteered to send Pan Yang, who had no car, back to the apartment.

"Learn from Wei Duangong to take the black gold route?" Pan Yang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said with a smile.

Chen Ergou hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"Money laundering is a technical job, do you need me to help you find an expert in this area?" Pan Yang plays with taste.

"I can handle it for the time being." Chen Ergou did not refuse or agree.

"Do you like Yuanshu? Or do you have any intentions for her? Pan Yangyu is not shocking and endless, which is very in line with his style of acting, and he hits the nail on the head.

"Are you trying to ask if I covet her as a person or her family?" Chen Ergou said with a smile.

"You can also pursue both, in this real society, a phoenix man like us, finding a good wife who has struggled for 30 years or a lifetime is also a kind of sideways, and he can have both shark and fin, why not? Isn't it? Pan Yang lit a flue.

"She's my sister."

Chen Ergou's voice was soft, but extremely firm, and said: "And maybe it's a matter of my natural vision, I have always felt that I can love one or two women is already the limit of ability and ambition, and any more will be a beast, maybe occasionally there will be a pure ** affair, but that is out of physiological needs, only talk about surnames, not love." I now have a daughter-in-law, and I have a woman who has been let down by me, and I don't want to do it again. ”

"Fusheng, don't talk to an opponent in the future, it's not a good habit." Pan Yang said softly, pulled down the window, flicked off the cigarette butt, and rubbed his temples.

"I have been educated by my mother for more than 20 years, and my kindness must be rewarded, and I have only been in the city for more than two years, and I can't change it for a while." Chen Ergou smiled bitterly.

Pan Yang sighed and sneered: "The first time I saw Yuanshu, it was running in the snow with my mother on my back, that day was the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the road was full of people busy eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, just when I was about to despair, a car stopped and let us get in the car, sent my mother to the best hospital in Nanjing, cured my mother's disease, that was 9 years ago, I was 25 years old at the time, just admitted to the National Development and Reform Commission, how much salary a month, I knelt down and kowtowed to Yuanshu three times, so I resigned and went to the sea to run MLM, Relying on cleverness and luck to return the money to Yuanshu, after accumulating a little contacts, I began to do the right thing, run errands for people, I may not be one of the earliest professional managers in China, but must be one of the most sloppy managers in China, the money earned into other people's pockets, the black pot I will back, unload the mill and kill the donkey, cross the river and tear down the bridge, enter the bureau, pull the pimp for the boss, I have not tasted anything and have not done it, my brain is all used in those dirty things, and then Yuanshu introduced me into Vale, which has a turnaround, in the past 9 years, Counting from her boyfriend who was abolished by gambling, men come and go in her life, except for Ye Yanzhao, no one is worthy of her, so I have never given up, I sleep at most three hours a day in Brazil, and often run to three countries a day, even so, I still have to complete the reading task of two books a week, floating life, we are poor, don't get old and compare with the poor, that will only make you look at the rat and feel that you have done well enough. A person is nothing more than lying down, sitting and running, running until tired is always more meaningful than lying down and starving to death, you stand in front of me running like this, how do you think I will look up to you? ”

After Pan Yang got out of the car, he didn't wave his hand or say goodbye.

Chen Ergou sat heavily in the car and didn't rush to start the car.

The phone rang, it was Chen Yuanshu.

"What did Pan Yang tell you?" Chen Yuanshu asked tentatively.

"Nope." Chen Ergou chuckled softly.

"You go to the lobby of the Xuanwu Hotel, wait for me for a few minutes, and I'll be there later." Chen Yuanshu hurriedly hung up the phone.

Chen Ergou is no stranger to the Xuanwu Hotel, because the hotel is near the location of the Jiangsu Provincial Military Region and the Garrison Headquarters, Chen Yuanshu's house is also nearby, Chen Ergou has not been to the Chen family, several times through the Provincial Military District General Hospital, I can't help but want to laugh at the "guards are sacred and inviolable" red sign, wondering if there has been the experience of the guards being thrown bombs, sitting in the Xuanwu Hotel for four or five minutes, a song of guzheng has just gradually improved, Chen Yuanshu arrived at the hotel with a solemn expression, sat down opposite Chen Ergou, brewed emotions, she said slowly: "Floating life." No matter what he says to you, you can't disrupt your established plan......"

"Sister." Chen Ergou gently interrupted Chen Yuanshu's speech.

Chen Yuanshu looked at his quiet and calm face, stopped speaking, and laughed at himself.

Chen Ergou handed her the coffee he had specially ordered for her: "Sister, I am no longer the one who waited for the opportunity to come to the door in Shanshui Huamen, Pan Yang can't defeat me in a few words, you don't believe in my determination, but also believe in your own vision." You didn't choose him, you chose me, it's certainly right. ”

The last sentence seemed to be a bit ambiguous, and Chen Yuanshu glared at him without any lethal power.

"Sister, show you palmistry?" Chen Ergou peeked at Chen Yuanshu's delicate hands that seemed to be carved from mutton fat white jade.

Chen Yuanshu smiled strangely and did not move.

Chen Ergou retreated and scratched his head.

Chen Yuanshu is charming and sultry, like a joyful Guanyin stretching out his hand, half solemn and half seductive.

There must be a demon when things are impermanent, Chen Ergou didn't dare to take her thrilling beautiful hand, sure enough, Chen Yuanshu retracted his hand and said with a smile: "If you dare to tease my sister again, I will let people drag you into the provincial military district and shoot you for an hour." ”
