Chapter 294: The Enemy's Hospitality
Shen Zhenghui and Wang Anping followed Li Yun to a restaurant in a daze, this is definitely a fairly high-end restaurant, Li Yun's room is large and seems to be a separate building, there are no other guests around except them, it is extremely quiet. Shen Zhenghui couldn't believe that there was such a house and such a restaurant in Pingjing. He felt that when he came in, it didn't seem like a restaurant, but rather like a villa.
Wang Anping is quite indifferent to this.
Li Yun didn't talk too much about his son's problem, on the contrary, he showed a fairly professional level, and after a brief greeting, he asked about the details of Shen Zhenghui's proposal.
Although the minister, who had just been transferred to the post of a special manager of domestic and foreign commerce, seemed to be quite interested in expanding his powers, it stands to reason that Shen Zhenghui's proposal should be interested in the provinces with more developed banking or financial industries, which is direct good news for them. However, Minister Li Yun seems to have a more profound view -- "If this opening is widened," he said, "then in fact, it is not only limited to the financial field, but also has a great impact on China's industries in all walks of life, so this proposal is definitely not just about banking, securities, and financial management, this is a global thing." He pondered for a moment, "I have an idea about your proposal, and I will make a report to the prime minister at that time." ”
"I didn't think about this so much." Shen Zhenghui hurriedly said.
Li Yun looked at Wang Anping, and then nodded at Shen Zhenghui, "It's normal that you didn't think of it." ”
As soon as Shen Zhenghui breathed a sigh of relief, Li Yun continued, "But this is a relatively big involvement, and it will accompany our accession to the WTO. Even if we don't do these things ourselves, foreigners will ask us to do them, and my personal opinion is that it is better for us to do them ourselves, and it is better to take the initiative, even if you don't mention them. This will also be a key task in the future," he smiled, "Over the years, our export trade has increased too fast, and the banks know that it is time for them to change their minds when they buy US bonds." ”
Shen Zhenghui and Wang Anping looked at each other a little, Minister Li put on an elder and said these words, which seemed to bring the relationship too close, Shen Zhenghui looked at Wang Anping, and wanted to ask her if your Wang family and the Li family have such a close relationship. But seeing that Wang Anping also looked like he didn't know why, he had to continue to lower his head and perfunctory.
The topic moved towards personal questions after bypassing Shen Zhenghui's proposal, Li Yun first asked Wang Anping if she had a boyfriend, and after receiving a negative answer, she looked at Shen Zhenghui with a surprised gaze.
Shen Zhenghui was very uncomfortable, so he had to say, "I have a girlfriend." ”
"Is that your Japanese classmate?" Li Yun said very familiarly.
"Well, no." Shen Zhenghui twitched the corners of his mouth, and he didn't continue to say who his girlfriend was.
"You are a generation of young people. It's very different from when we did. Minister Li shook his head as he spoke, although it was an expression that was not ancient. But the tone and expression are combined, and there is no obvious malice at that time.
Wang Anping and Shen Zhenghui only felt that the atmosphere was very embarrassing, and the two of them, as juniors, were completely suppressed by each other in terms of momentum.
At that moment, Minister Li's secretary walked in and whispered something in his ear. Minister Li hummed twice and looked at Shen Zhenghui and Wang Anping.
Do you have something to go? That's great! Shen Zhenghui thought so in his heart.
Who would have expected Minister Li to say instead, "Li Rui heard that I was here, and I came over, just right." Let him meet with you," he looked at Shen Zhenghui deliberately, "let him apologize to you for what happened before." ”
Ah, Shen Zhenghui stood up all of a sudden, and said insincerely, "It's nothing, no need to apologize." This ...... said, "He spoke a little stumblingly."
Wang Anping was calmer, "It's good to be here," she said, "I haven't seen him for a long time." ”
"In the UK, you are all young and handsome." Li Yun said.
Then the door was opened, Li Rui walked in with Sun Jingfang, Shen Zhenghui suddenly felt a buzzing sound, and Wang Anping next to him also stood up all of a sudden.
"Ah, Jingfang, you're here too." She said with a slight surprise.
Sun Jingfang should have appeared as Li Rui's girlfriend, and when she saw Shen Zhenghui and Wang Anping at first glance, her expression was a little unnatural. However, Li Rui was very good at this time, he took the initiative to step forward, shook hands with Wang Anping and Shen Zhenghui, and then sat next to Shen Zhenghui, and even pressed Shen Zhenghui's shoulder to let him sit down.
"Student Shen," he said in a relaxed and enthusiastic tone, "I was ignorant before, and I have done many things, and now I sincerely apologize to you." ”
"Mr. Li said it too politely." Shen Zhenghui pursed his lips, but he regained his composure.
Li Rui hugged Sun Jingfang, who was sitting beside him, gently rubbed her hand and said, "Really, I used to be too young and impulsive," he said as he turned to look at Sun Jingfang and then turned his head to look at Shen Zhenghui and said, "Now I am mature." ”
Li Yun on the side said in a slightly mocking tone, "Well, I hope so." ”
"Dad, I've made a lot of progress in the UK over the years." Li Rui argued.
"It's true that I didn't get into trouble." Li Yun said, but he looked at Sun Jingfang and said, "Now that Jingfang is your girlfriend, help us watch you, I hope you can become obedient under the care of your girlfriend." ”
Li Rui smiled slightly, and bumped his head with Sun Jingfang affectionately, "I'm the most obedient, right, Jingfang?" ”
Sun Jingfang kept her head down, and at this time she barely raised her head and said to Li Yun, "Uncle Li, how can I control him?" ”
"Whatever you want." Li Yun said with a smile.
Shen Zhenghui felt that the atmosphere was getting stranger and stranger, and he wanted to get up and leave immediately, but he still had to stay here and continue to suffer.
Fortunately, the meal was almost finished, Li Rui and Sun Jingfang both said that they had already eaten, Li Rui raised the wine glass and toasted Shen Zhenghui a few glasses, according to him, this is a wine of apology. Anyway, at least in terms of face. Li Rui's appearance when he met Shen Zhenghui again this time was quite good, I don't know if it was for his father's face or his girlfriend's face. Minister Li is also a figure who has a lot of opportunities, and seeing that the time is not early, he took the initiative to ask to leave, and the remaining few young people can continue to reminisce according to him.
Shen Zhenghui felt that there was nothing to talk about, but Wang Anping acted as a bridge of communication. asked Li Rui about his life in the UK, and also asked about Sun Jingfang's work.
Sun Jingfang said that she had left her job, she had worked too much over the years, and she wanted to take a good rest and travel to various parts of the motherland, and she said that she especially wanted to go to places like Tibet to have a good look.
Li Rui naturally expressed his boyfriend's twenty-four filial piety, and he also said that he had stayed in the UK for too long, and he also wanted to travel to the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.
Shen Zhenghui didn't want to stay here for a second longer, and finally waited until they finally had a timeout. Shen Zhenghui hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry to catch the plane, so I'll leave first." ”
"Catch a plane? Didn't you change your ticket? Surprisingly, this is what Li Rui said.
"I'll go back and rest for the plane early tomorrow morning." Shen Zhenghui replied.
Li Rui raised his eyebrows, and Shen Zhenghui finally read the same feeling from his face as before, "You can sleep on the plane!" Li Rui said. Or do you feel uncomfortable with us? ”
"Chairman Shen may have a lot of things to deal with, like you and I are idlers without a job." Sun Jingfang unexpectedly came out to speak for Shen Zhenghui at this time. Her expression was normal enough, and she looked as if she was a real ordinary classmate with Shen Zhenghui.
Sun Jingfang then stood up, walked up to Shen Zhenghui, and stretched out her hand to him, "I haven't congratulated you yet," she said. "You're the chairman of ATV now, how do you feel?"
"The leisurely life is gone from me." Shen Zhenghui shook Sun Jingfang's hand and replied.
"Was your life very laid-back before?" Wang Anping asked rhetorically.
"Maybe," Li Rui said, "maybe the life of a director in Japan is unusually leisurely." ”
Sun Jingfang glanced at Li Rui with a strange look, "I'll send you out." "I have something to say to you." ”
Li Rui also stood up, and then Wang Anping grabbed his arm, "Ah, little Lizi, follow with my sister and let them talk." ”
Li Rui suddenly showed a smile, "Okay, of course." ”
There was actually nothing to say along the way, let alone two people staring at the back. Sun Jingfang's words were also very simple, she had no memories, no resentment, no weakness, just a simple greeting, "How is your daughter?" ”
"To be honest, I rarely see her, and to say she, I might be an insignificant person."
"Ah, is that so?" Sun Jingfang was slightly surprised, "Didn't your daughter's mother like you before she had a child with you?" ”
"I'm very skeptical about that."
"It doesn't seem like you're much better than me."
"Student Li is a young man, not to mention that he has always liked you since he was in college."
"Don't be stupid," Sun Jingfang snorted, "Our marriage is not our own decision, his feelings are not so much love as obsession." ”
"Really?"
"Now that I think about it, I think what you did at that time was really mature enough, but I couldn't understand it at the time."
"Really?"
"But with what you've accomplished so far, you're still worthy of me." Sun Jingfang's eyes flashed in the night.
"Alright, no kidding." Shen Zhenghui rolled his eyes, "If your brother checked me again, maybe he would directly blow my head off this time." ”
"He doesn't dare," Sun Jingfang's tone rose lightly, "You are not an ordinary person now, not to mention your reputation as a world-renowned director, just if you are the chairman of ATV, no one will do this." Unless ......"
"Unless?"
"You're unlucky to run into a bandit." Sun Jingfang laughed.
"I'm so scared." Shen Zhenghui shook his head.
Sun Jingfang sent Shen Zhenghui all the way to the door, and then stopped, Shen Zhenghui also had to stop, and the car was not far away. Li Rui and Wang Anping have already followed.
"Jingfang," Li Rui walked to Sun Jingfang's side, put his arm around her shoulders and looked at Shen Zhenghui and said, "Shen, oh." No, it should be said Chairman Shen, then we will see you again. He had a victor's smile on his face, "I wish you a prosperous business, and ATV will overpower TVB as soon as possible." The tone seemed slightly sarcastic.
Wang Anping also hugged Sun Jingfang and said in a complaining tone. "You've been abroad for so long, and you don't come to play with me when you come back."
Sun Jingfang stared at Shen Zhenghui seriously, as if she wanted to engrave his appearance deeply in her mind, "Goodbye, classmate Shen." She said this, and then stretched out her hand to Shen Zhenghui.
"Okay, goodbye." Shen Zhenghui shook hands with her, almost impatient, and Li Rui immediately stretched out his hand. Shen Zhenghui withdrew his hand from Sun Jingfang's hand and shook it with Li Rui again, "Brother Li," he said in a slightly flattering tone, "You are so blessed, you have to cherish it!" ”
"Of course!" Li Rui replied.
Shen Zhenghui and Wang Anping waved goodbye, and then got into the car, and Shen Zhenghui leaned on the back of the car as if he had fallen apart.
Wang Anping said in a mocking tone. "How? Blinded by someone tonight, right? Tell me what you used to think? ”
"I didn't think much about it, I just had self-knowledge."
"With what you're doing now. It's not like his parents can't accept you, right? ”
"Don't mention the past," Shen Zhenghui glanced at Wang Anping, "Don't make a mistake with the mandarin duck spectrum, people are the real right people." ”
"Cut!" Wang Anping glanced at Shen Zhenghui, "His family is just that his grandfather is a patriarch." ”
"The Sun family, your family is like this. Grandpa is a veteran, and this is the real match. Shen Zhenghui smiled slightly.
Wang Anping was choked for a moment, and changed the subject, "Tell me why Minister Li asked us for this meal?" Is it to make his future daughter-in-law appear so that you don't have to be delusional in the future? ”
"I've never had any delusions." Shen Zhenghui sat up straight. "I've been saying that for almost ten years."
"Ten years," Wang Anping shook her head, "How many years does a woman have?" She'll remember you for the rest of her life. ”
Shen Zhenghui rubbed his eyes, "It's just that you guys are fueling the trouble, that's why it lasts for ten years." ”
"It's her choice." Wang Anping retorted.
Shen Zhenghui waved his hand, "Forget it, don't talk about this, everyone else has met their parents publicly, so I won't mention it anymore." He shook his head, "But Minister Li really didn't expect to come out and care about this matter, and I thought the bank would be more interested in this proposal." ”
Shen Zhenghui's proposal was treated as being submitted to the State Council for discussion, and was not in the queue for this handling. Because the problem is too big, Shen Zhenghui is just trying to mention it. Unexpectedly, the person who came to him to learn about the situation was actually the minister in charge of commerce.
"I think what he said is right, this is not exactly a financial matter, the impact on the domestic industry is all-round." Wang Anping said, "The financial industry has established a free trade zone, so should other industries consider the same, will such a large amount of money have an impact on other industries?" Wang Anping tilted her head, "Not to mention anything else, the real estate industry is an industry with huge profits, what if it impacts the real estate industry?" ”
"Do you care about this because you do real estate?" Shen Zhenghui asked rhetorically.
"Of course," Wang Anping said confidently, and then she changed her words, "but you can also think like this, maybe his own purpose is not this, but just to dissolve the hatred between his son and you?" ”
"I am a deputy to the National People's Congress, not a member of the Central Committee." Shen Zhenghui pouted, "Will their family care?" ”
"I didn't care about it before, but now I can't." Wang Anping replied, "You are now a huge local power. ”
"Huge?" Shen Zhenghui touched his chin and asked uncertainly, "Are you really talking about me?" ”
"You're really a fan of the authorities," Wang Anping said hatefully, "What is your influence in the Hong Kong film industry now?" What's more, you have another TV station. ”
"Huh?"
"This is not counting the Japanese background behind you, and our Wang family's endorsement for you."
"Oh."
"So, instead of creating an enemy, it is better to turn an enemy into a friend." Wang Anping said, "I think Minister Li has done a good job. ”
"Yes, if only his son had a better appearance." Shen Zhenghui nodded.
"Young man!" Wang Anping said this, but then she pouted again, "It seems that you are much older than others, and I don't see how mature you are." ”
Shen Zhenghui touched his chin, "I think it's true that he wants to get closer to your Wang family," after thinking about it carefully, he squinted his eyes and asked, "Is his minister a transitional nature?" In the end, maybe I will be transferred to a certain place to be a secretary. ”
Wang Anping also blinked, she naturally remembered her father's upcoming position, and asked with some uncertainty, "Southwest?" ”
Shen Zhenghui clapped his hands, "That's right, so in fact, people are mainly invited to this meal." ”
Wang Anping half-squinted her eyes, revealing an expression of disbelieving.
"Also, when will my plane ticket be changed?" Shen Zhenghui asked while flipping through the phone, "Can you leave tonight?" ”
"There will definitely be no plane at night, and even if there is, it will be a transit flight through South Korea, so let's wait until tomorrow to take a direct flight." Wang Anping replied, "Anyway, I won't be unable to buy tickets." ”
Shen Zhenghui showed a worried expression, "Forget it, I'll go back to Hong Kong first." (To be continued......)
