Chapter 509: Substitute Driver
Hearing this, Cheng Yu nodded very cautiously.
Indeed, since Cheng Fu and Cheng Guangle have a good relationship, after Cheng Guangle and Cheng Yi were both exiled, Cheng Fu should not be so indifferent no matter what.
But in this way, isn't Cheng Fu tantamount to telling others that he is actually "lying on his salary and tasting guts"?
If Cheng Fu is a person with a deep city government and has always wanted Cheng Guangnian's business empire, then after such a big thing happened at home, he shouldn't behave like this.
Which specific performance can make people feel that he really has nothing to want, Cheng Yu doesn't have time to think about it, and he doesn't want to think about it.
But at the very least, showing a posture of breaking with his father and brother is obviously not a good decision.
If this is the case, this Cheng Fu doesn't seem to be as dangerous as Du Changfeng said.
The key is that Cheng Yu has always had a big bottom in his heart, that is, no matter what Cheng Guangnian thinks, why he is unwilling to let his only biological son inherit his group, but he is by no means the kind of person who will choose one of his two younger brothers to inherit.
Less than half a year ago, Cheng Guangnian was still ambitiously trying to annex the Du Group, and it was difficult for Cheng Yu to imagine what major changes would occur in a careerist like Cheng Guangnian.
He hesitated, tentatively, and said, "Dad, you say that, Cheng Fu's performance is indeed strange. But if he is really as you said, the city government is very deep, and he will never be willing to let the three of them be expelled from the management core of the Cheng Group, then wouldn't it be easier for him to make Lao Cheng wary of his father and brother who made mistakes at this time?"
Du Changfeng nodded and said, "This is also something I don't quite understand." But I also thought about it carefully, the situation that Cheng Fu is facing can be described as a dilemma, maybe he is young after all, and he can't find a better way to make your father less vigilant.
Or maybe he has no fear and doesn't worry about your father guarding him.
Anyway, Guangnian seems to be guarding against anyone, and since it is impossible to win his trust, it doesn't matter what he does.
But at least, let the other shareholders of Cheng's Group see that he is not on the same path as Guangle and Cheng Yi.
What Guangle and Cheng Yi did, no matter who they were replaced, were also deeply disgusted.
The two of them, at all, are not counting the losses of the Cheng Group, but want to fill their own pockets, and they were driven away, which is not only the meaning of your father, but also the meaning of almost all shareholders. ”
In fact, Cheng Yu still feels that these can't explain Cheng Fu's behavior, but, as Du Changfeng said, these are not that important.
The important thing is that since Cheng Fu is a very calculating person, it is impossible for him not to do anything at all.
Even if it is to help his father and brother seek certain benefits, he will definitely do something.
It seems that this person really has to be on guard.
"Alright, you don't have to take it too seriously, it's all just our guesses, after all.
I am telling you all this because I am only judging based on some phenomena, and I hope you will be vigilant.
We are old, and I can't speculate about your father's thoughts, but the Du Group's side will be handed over to Xiaoyu and you sooner or later.
Xiao Yu, you remember, keep your heart, don't let some side things affect your normal judgment.
To put it mildly, without those of the Cheng Group, the assets in my Lao Du's name are not enough for you and Xiaoyu to spend a few lifetimes?
When you returned to China last year, you did not try to join the Cheng Group, but chose to start your own business.
In less than a year, the achievements are remarkable, and no matter how picky people are, they can't find faults. That's good.
Even, even without the Dushi Group, I believe you can still make Xiaoyu live well.
Others, after all, are outside the body.
What if, I mean, if one day something really happens and something happens.
I also hope that you will not be carried away by those questions and will be able to follow your established track. ”
Cheng Yu scratched his head, hehe smiled, the laughter was very dry, Du Changfeng's words were very strange.
"Dad, don't you think that Cheng Fu can really defeat Lao Cheng and snatch the Cheng Group from him, right? Lao Cheng has been in the business world for so many years, and he is so vulnerable in your eyes?"
Du Changfeng waved his hand and sighed: "I said it, just in case." Compared with your father, Cheng Fu is not a fart. But some of them are called accidents because they are beyond the control of human beings. Even if Haoqiang Brazil played against the Chinese team, you can't say that there is no possibility that all the main players of the Brazilian team had food poisoning on the eve of the game, and those who could play became soft-footed crabs and were finally won by the Chinese team. ”
Cheng Yu pursed his lips, Du Changfeng had already made a gesture to end the conversation, and it seemed that there was no need for him to continue to entangle.
"I'll take notice. ”
Du Changfeng nodded, picked up the wine glass from the coffee table, shook it, drank it all, and then leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes.
Seeing Du Changfeng gently pressing his head with his fingers, Cheng Yu stood up and said softly, "Dad, I'll go out first, do you want to call my mother in?"
Du Changfeng nodded slightly, and with a hum, Cheng Yu left the study.
After telling Wei Lan, Wei Lan still said before going to the study: "You two can't live at home today? ”
Du Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Who told you not to say it earlier, I really made an appointment with Cheng Yu." ”
"Alright then, you two stay safe on this big night. ”
Watching Wei Lan enter the study, Cheng Yucai and Du Xiaoyu nodded and left the Du Mansion together.
Sitting in the car, Cheng Yu used his mobile phone to call a substitute driver.
It may have something to do with Chinese New Year's Eve, the number of substitute drivers is not much, although there is an answer in the end, but the distance is relatively far, after telephone communication, it may take more than 20 minutes to come.
"What did my dad just tell you? ”
Du Xiaoyu asked.
"Tell a rumor about our family. ”
"What rumors?"
"It's nothing, it's just about some financial problems when my father first started business. ”
Du Xiaoyu shook his head and said disdainfully: "It's the matter of your family's so-called old house, right?"
"You know it. ”
Du Xiaoyu pursed his lips and said, "In the whole circle, probably you don't know." ”
"The main thing is the circle you mentioned, in fact, I don't know a few people in total, and I don't have many contacts, and it's not convenient for them to chew their tongues in front of me. ”
"That's right.
My dad too, there is really no need to tell you these things, in fact, everyone knows in their hearts, these so-called rumors are simply deliberately put on the wind by your second and third uncles, just to use these to find your dad to fight for more shares one day.
It's completely unreasonable, not to mention that your father's business funds have denied that they come from your family's old house, even if it is, your grandfather is willing to give it to him, who can manage it?
Why did my dad remember to tell you this?
Before you returned to China, I mentioned this matter to him, and he also reprimanded me a few words, saying that this kind of unfounded thing should not be spread around.
What's wrong with him now?"
Cheng Yu laughed and said, "My father-in-law is kind, Cheng Fu is back, he is worried that Cheng Fu has a plan and will give me a vaccination in advance." So I took out some of Lao Cheng's old things and talked about them. ”
Du Xiaoyu rolled his eyes and said, "Cheng Fu? It's Cheng Yi's younger brother, right? What can he do when he comes back? He is not quite the same personality as your second uncle and Cheng Yi, he is very introverted, neither like your second uncle, nor like your second aunt, and he doesn't know who he inherits." Your second uncle's family, if there really has to be someone who can make things happen, it is probably Cheng Fu. But he's the right guy to beat your dad?"
Cheng Yu laughed and said, "But isn't it, that's what I told my father-in-law." ”
Du Xiaoyu rolled his eyes again and said, "You are a father-in-law, you are affectionate, what's the matter, you finally want to attack me? Believe it or not, I will destroy you with one kick?"
Cheng Yu patted his head and said, "Isn't it that when I came to the house today, I had to keep shouting my parents to get used to it." It's almost time, let's move the car to the entrance of the community, and the driver will definitely not be able to get in. ”
Although he must not drive after drinking, in the community, it is also a helpless move, Cheng Yu still drove the car to the door of the community.
As soon as I arrived at the gate, I saw a person on an electric scooter moving over, and it was the substitute driver.
Cheng Yu pushed the car door and got out of the car, beckoning to the man, who immediately slid over, a middle-aged man with slightly white sideburns.
"Hello, is it the owner of the mobile phone with the tail number XXXX?"
Jumping off the electric scooter, the man asked as he put the scooter away.
Cheng Yu replied, leaned into the car and opened the trunk, then looked at Du Xiaoyu, who was motionless and just looking at the front of the car in a daze, and motioned for her to get out of the car and sit in the back.
After Du Xiaoyu got out of the car, he looked at the substitute driver twice, then went around to the back seat, pulled the car door and got in.
The substitute driver quickly put the folded electric scooter into the trunk, then got into the cab, fastened the seat belt, and turned around to confirm that Cheng Yu and Du Xiaoyu had already sat down.
"Hello two, I am the driver who will do the driving service for you this time, my surname is Sun. Excuse me, is our end point at Wudong Courtyard?"
"Yes. ”
"Then please fasten your seatbelts, and we're ready to go. ”
watched the substitute driver skillfully start the vehicle, then push up the gear, slowly step on the accelerator, and the car drove out smoothly.
Du Xiaoyu said a little strangely: "Are you very skilled, have you driven this car before?"
The substitute driver replied with a smile while looking ahead and driving smoothly, "I was lucky enough to drive twice." It's strange to say, since I started as a substitute driver, it seems that I have a special relationship with luxury cars. Not to mention BBA's mid-to-high-end cars, I also drove the entry-level models of the Porsche 911 and Ferrari 488. Counting up, the supercar brand I know of, probably only McLaren has never driven. I didn't know before, but there were quite a lot of supercars in our Wu Dong. ”
After thinking about it, he added an explanation: "It may be that rich people like you often socialize and pay more attention to their own safety." Basically, even if you take a sip of wine, you will find a substitute driver. I used to think that rich people wouldn't take drunk driving seriously, but now I know that it's not like that at all. ”
Du Xiaoyu laughed and said, "Are you so proud? Koenigsegg has heard of it?"
"You must have heard of it, although it is a relatively unpopular brand and the production is low, but it can't stand other people's cars, and any car is eight figures. I've really opened this brand once, but that time, a year ago. ”
Du Xiaoyu glanced at Cheng Yu and said with a smile: "Then it can only be yours." ”
Cheng Yu touched his nose and said in his heart, can we not open which pot and which pot to mention?
Poor.
The substitute driver was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then looked at Cheng Yu carefully from the rearview mirror, and said cautiously: "It seems that this gentleman is really here, is your house at the end of a small road next to the main road? ”
Cheng Yu coughed twice and said, "Then it should really be me." ”
"Haha, you two are quite destined. Du Xiaoyu smiled again.
The substitute driver was also happy, and said: "That's true, Wu Dong also has a population of more than 8 million, and I have driven you two luxury cars." ”
Cheng Yu felt very inexplicable, to say that he had nothing to do, it was nothing to chat with the driver, but was Du Xiaoyu a little too talkative?
"How much money can you earn a month as a substitute driver?" Du Xiaoyu asked casually.
"It's not easy to say, but I've been doing it for more than two years, and on average, seven or eight thousand a month. ”
"Didn't you think about finding a more stable job? You are a substitute driver, and you often come and go in the wind and rain, and I see that many of you are waiting at the door of major hotels or bars and other places, and the morning and dusk are upside down, right?"
The substitute driver sighed and said, "Isn't it? But fortunately, the income is higher."
People like me have to have a degree or no education, they want a skill without a skill, and they don't know anything except driving.
In the past, although the money was high, but fortunately, the business was guaranteed, and I could earn 8,000 yuan a month.
But now, there are so many online car-hailing services, and our taxis are almost out of work. ”
"Then why don't you buy a car and drive an online car-hailing service?"
Cheng Yu frowned when he heard this, looked at Du Xiaoyu, and said in his heart, why is this girl talking so much today?
The substitute driver sighed again and said: "It's all the same, if you don't do this kind of thing full-time, it's okay, if you are full-time, your income is not always reliable." On the contrary, now the drunk driving is strictly grasped, everyone's safety awareness is also high, everyone has a car, and there are more and more people who call substitute drivers. Income is more stable. ”
"If there is a job that pays the same as you do now, but doesn't have to let you run around in the wind and rain, would you be willing to do it?"
"Of course I do, who would want to run around like this all day? This lady, I was actually quite white two years ago. I used to open a rental, and I couldn't blow it in the sun. But now, just two years, my daughter almost doesn't recognize me. It's just, who wants a middle-aged man like us who doesn't know anything?"
"Hehe......"
Du Xiaoyu just wanted to speak, but Cheng Yu hurriedly interrupted her.
"Xiaoyu, what are you doing?"
Du Xiaoyu turned his face to look at Cheng Yu and said, "Don't you think this driver is particularly stable in driving?"
Even at night, there were no cars on the road, and his speed was not too high.
I think he's good at driving, and you're really going to have a full-time driver.
You have to go out by yourself, not to mention the hard work of driving yourself, in case something happens, the car can only be thrown in the parking lot.
I think you seem to be going to other places more and more often, and when you come back, you are already tired, and you have to drive dozens of kilometers home, which is actually really bad.
How nice is a chauffeur?"
Cheng Yu still frowned slightly, but in front of other drivers, it was difficult to say.
After all, although today is the second time you have met this substitute driver, you don't know who he is at all.
Whether Cheng Yu is Cheng Guangnian's son or the boss of an investment company, he must be cautious about hiring a driver.
How can it be said that when you meet a substitute driver with good driving skills, you are in a hurry to invite someone to be your personal driver?
But it's inconvenient to say this, as if to imply that the substitute driver is a bad person.
Yes, Cheng Yu could only frown and look at Du Xiaoyu, wondering why Du Xiaoyu was so weird, this was not her usual style at all.
Du Xiaoyu also saw Cheng Yu's dissatisfaction, smiled, and asked the substitute driver: "Master Sun, in fact, it's not the first time I've seen you." ”
"Oh, have I taken your substitute driving order before?" Master Sun actually felt that the atmosphere in the back seat was a little subtle, but he didn't care too much, on the contrary, Du Xiaoyu's enthusiasm and solicitation made him feel strange.
"It's not. I took your taxi, I was only in my third year of junior high school at that time, and that day was my high school entrance examination......"
Master Sun frowned slightly, as if he was reminiscing, and quickly remembered.
"Ah, I have a little impression, did you leave the admission ticket on my car? You got off the bus at the school gate, I drove out a short distance and met a guest who was going to the airport, more than ten minutes later, I heard the station ask who sent a female student to the first middle school, saying that the admission ticket may have been dropped on the car......
"Yes, it's me, in fact, as soon as I saw you just now, I recognized you, so I took the initiative to talk to you. ”
Du Xiaoyu smiled, and then explained to Cheng Yu: "Master Sun is very good, in fact, he was already on the airport expressway at that time, and he could drive more than ten kilometers out."
I was calling the taxi company, and I didn't remember the license plate, only the North China Company.
The station helped me ask through the walkie-talkie, and Master Sun immediately asked the guest to look for it in the back seat after receiving it.
After finding it, he immediately chose to get off the highway, and helped the customer to stop a taxi again, and he turned around and sent me the admission ticket back. ”
"Hehe, this is all a trivial matter, what is delayed, and you can't delay the child's exam. You were a big deal at the time, and I didn't do one less business. ”
"At that time, I was relatively ignorant, Master Sun sent me the admission ticket, and I didn't say anything, and I didn't even give him the oil money back and forth, not to mention, it also made him lose more than a hundred businesses. ”
Master Sun still smiled and said, "It's all trivial, trivial." ”
Cheng Yu probably understood.
Judging from this matter, this Master Sun's character is really good, if he were someone else, not to mention whether he would immediately give up the single business of more than 100 and rush back, even if he rushed back, I am afraid that he would want to contact Du Xiaoyu first to confirm how to calculate the cost of going back and forth.
It's just that it's been eight or nine years since this happened, and people will change.
