Chapter 400: Bee Recruitment
Li Chen listened to the voice that he had heard somewhere, and turned his head to look at a familiar figure that had been separated for three years into his pupils, prompting him to keep coming up in his mind, especially a key word that was solidified in it, that is, Zhao Liang was the shopkeeper of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce!
"Zhao Liang, have you been promoted again?" asked with a smile, as if he had found an acquaintance here.
He remembered that Zhao Liang was only the front desk shopkeeper of the Great Song Kingdom, not the number one shopkeeper, and the people who came here were all the top shopkeepers of various princely states, so Zhao Liang's ability to participate in the cocktail party was equivalent to a sure fact.
"Hehe, it's not the number one yet, but it should be fast, right?" Zhao Liang walked up to Li Chen, shook his head with a smile, and then, he seemed to think of something, and asked, "Have you also joined the Wantong Chamber of Commerce?"
"It's just an ordinary friend invited here to do something, and I don't have your business acumen, how can I devote myself to the business world!" Li Chen didn't expect Zhao Liang to hide his thoughts, but when the other party asked, there was no need to hide it, and shook his head.
Tang Heng and the others were like spectators, not interjecting, and they both didn't understand when Li Chen met this bombastic future leader.
"That's right, I heard my brother and them say that you are entering the Tang Royal Warrior Academy for further study, even if you want to rob me of my job, not at this time!" Zhao Liang nodded, his ability to read people is not covered, judging from the dress of Tang Heng and the others, he knows that he is a child with a head and a face, maybe he is still a child of the high-level of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce, how can he miss the opportunity, and asked: "Presumably, the person who invited you here should be one of these two, right?
"They were also invited!" Li Chen then understood why Zhao Liang came to him specially, it turned out that he was here to pull a relationship, but unfortunately, the main lord was not here, and he was not the master of lying, so he shook his head and said.
Just as he shook his head, a beautiful shadow suddenly came to him, and without giving him any room to dodge, he quickly grabbed his arm, revealing that kind expression made him feel the urge to scold the street.
"Good boy, it's only been a year since you came to Luoyang City, and you have a girlfriend who has captivated the city and the country, it's really embarrassing for others!" Zhao Liang saw a burst of envy, jealousy, and hatred, and even smiled without concealing it.
"I met and fell in love with him six years ago!" Li Chen was just about to defend himself, but a voice that was a little faster than him made him feel like he was sinking into the sea, and then, his face was also rapidly ugly, and his eyes turned to the person holding his arm with a terrible coldness, and said angrily: "You..."
But before he could say anything, his waist twisted violently, and at the same time, a pair of pleading eyes stared at him, so that he could not say the following words.
"Hehe, forgive me for not being able to see it just now, Haihan Haihan!" Zhao Liang could see the aim from his subtle demeanor, but he was a bit cunning, and both sides smiled offended.
Whether Li Chen listens to it or Wan Ling'er listens to it, it is all right anyway, and there is no mistake at all.
"Miss, the old slave has asked you to say goodbye!" At this time, an old man with a wrinkled face also walked slowly into their small circle, and saluted Wan Ling'er on one knee in front of Zhao Liang.
Zhao Liang's smile just now froze instantly, the three words of the eldest lady were not too loud, but they also made him look at Wan Ling'er in a daze as if he had five thunderbolts.
Not only Zhao Liang alone, but the people around him all looked at this place, as if they were the fuse of igniting a powder keg, and began to exchange information in detail, spreading to farther places, so that the entire wine party fell into silence for a long time.
"Old Liu, you are old, you won't use that set of etiquette for me in the future!" Wan Ling'er didn't panic at all, and she didn't step forward to help, who told her that if she let go, she would never get a chance to hold Li Chen's arm, and said softly and respectfully.
"The rules can't be abolished!" Liu Laonu shook his head and said firmly.
"Get up!" Wan Ling'er saw that Liu Lao Nu refused to get up, and she also knew Liu Lao's temperament, so she gave up her own opinion and nodded.
"Zhao Liang, don't hurry up to see the eldest lady!" Liu Laonu stood up with satisfaction, but as soon as he got up, he reminded Zhao Liang in a deep voice to the stunned Zhao Liang.
"Miss, my subordinates have asked you to say goodbye!" Zhao Liang suddenly came back to his senses, a trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he simply knelt on the ground and said respectfully.
It's no wonder that he has this mentality, there may not be a big problem with what he said just now, but the problem is that the person is his employer, and the employer can send him to the eighteenth layer of hell with a word, then the hard work he spent more than ten years will also be burned!
Li Chen looked at Zhao Liang's abrupt expression, and could only describe his current mentality with helplessness, taking people short and eating people softly, after all, he had to succumb to the powerful.
"Get up!" Wan Ling'er nodded, and when Zhao Liang got up and retreated behind Liu Lao, he then asked, "Liu Lao, is he your successor?"
"Well, the old slave saw that he usually behaved well, and he was much better than others, so he took him back to Luoyang City to let the old lady take a look, I don't know what you think of him as a person, eldest lady?"
"He's pretty good, don't offend both sides!" Wan Ling'er nodded.
"Thank you for the compliment!" As soon as these words came out, Zhao Liang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he was also a little shocked to think that Wan Ling'er could actually see his little trick, and then, he had to bend over and said gratefully.
Wan Ling'er said that he believed that his position as the number one was already certain, and this was still the goal he had held from the beginning, but the goal was far beyond the scope of his plan.
Pulling the relationship does not mean that he has something to do with the real decision-making level, but he just took the shit luck and bumped into such a good thing.
And everything is thanks to Li Chen, at the same time, he understands Wan Ling'er's love for Li Chen, as long as he firmly grasps this unstable line, his future will be bright!
"Miss, we still have to report last year's performance to the old lady, please allow the old slave to leave!" Liu Laonu also resigned in a timely manner, and after Wan Ling'er nodded, he immediately led Zhao Liang away, and Zhao Liang looked at Li Chen with gratitude and a look of begging before leaving.
"Li Chen, we have become the focus of the cocktail party, so that you don't need to walk over one by one, they will send them to the door by themselves, and when the time comes, you can also find out the demons lurking into the Wantong Chamber of Commerce!" Li Chen shook his head powerlessly, but just as he was about to let Wan Ling'er, who was in a hurry, let go of his hand, a voice so thin that only he could hear came into his ears, making him stunned for a moment, his brows were also furrowed, and he said dissatisfiedly: "It doesn't hurt to spend some more time!"
"Walking around here without talking to anyone will arouse suspicion among everyone present!" Wan Linger insisted.
This is reasonable, even Li Chen has to admit it, but Wan Ling'er has other purposes, this is the so-called killing two birds with one stone!
Immediately, the people around them were also like bees smelling honey, rushing towards them, and one by one began to set off a wave of praise to Wan Ling'er.
For example, the eldest lady of the Wan family is the dragon and phoenix among the people, or the eldest lady of the Wan family is naturally beautiful and difficult to find in the world, etc...
Wave after wave, as if they were tired of it, dazzling people, and the roots of their ears buzzed a little.
"Hey, there really are demon clan's canine teeth!" Just when Li Chen felt bored, an extremely faint aura of disgust suddenly penetrated into his heart, making his eyes transform from boring to sharp in an instant, but he covered it up quickly enough, and looked at the things that brought him only demonic energy that can inspire disgust, it was an old and a young, the old one had a kind face, and the young one had a flamboyant face, and a little handsome and free, but looking at Wan Ling'er's eyes, he couldn't erase the lust for beauty.
"Another one of the animals that bend down to think!" he just shook his head in criticism.
With Wan Ling'er's beauty, it can naturally attract the eyes of many young talents, the so-called eyes are bright, and the heart must be beating, and the heart is naturally going to act, there are many such people.
What's more, Wan Ling'er's identity is there, whoever thinks about it doesn't have an urge to possess it, although the road to the sky is extremely difficult, but it is also a shortcut to shorten the journey of struggle, even if Wan Ling'er is holding Li Chen's arm, as long as there is no Ming Media to marry, there is a chance.
"Miss Wan, I am the head of the Great Zhou Empire, Zhu Sheng, this is my grandson, Judy, we have long heard that Miss Wan is beautiful, and I am fortunate to meet today, it is really a great difference between my grandfather and grandson!" At this time, the old man and the young man had already come closer, and bent down to salute Wan Ling'er, and the old man immediately introduced himself and added some words of praise.
"This Great Zhou Empire must be tired!" As soon as he heard the words of the Great Zhou Empire, Li Chen's heart skipped a fierce beat, and he was 100% sure.
A series of events have a messy relationship with the Great Zhou Empire, perhaps because he has always been subjectively doing things, but after all, there are traces to follow, not without a head and a brain.
"Hehe, thank you for the compliment!" Although Wan Ling'er couldn't have Li Chen's ability to look at one by one, she had a strange connection with Li Chen, and Li Chen's change in mentality also quickly drilled into his heart, and it was the first time in so long time, but she still smiled and nodded as always.
Zhu Sheng naturally understood that Wan Ling'er didn't want to talk more, and like a tide, he led the somewhat demented Judy to the side, giving up his seat to the other managers who wanted to sing praises to Wan Ling'er.
People always have the moment when they finish, and Wan Ling'er basically said that sentence, without the slightest change, and it also made some people who wanted to talk for a long time choose to take a while, and after no one came forward to get close, Wan Ling'er moved her mouth slightly: "Li Chen, Zhu Sheng, do they have a problem?"
