Chen Mingliang stubbornly turned a gathering of others into his personal show.

However, he finally understood that he had come to praise Senior Brother Meng today.

"Let's not talk about anything else, let's just talk about Senior Brother Meng, when he returned to China, he didn't even have a girlfriend except for his enthusiasm. Now, this is a promising entrepreneur, and solving the problem of financial freedom is only the most basic need, although his personal problems have not been solved, but how many well-qualified girls take the initiative to give them a hug, up to the daughter of the vice minister of the state, down to the daughter of the president of a listed company, I don't know how many people covet this fast son-in-law.

Although his company is not listed yet, I think he earns a little more money every year than everyone here. ”

Chen Mingliang glanced at the old goddess as he said this.

"What's the use of just having money, you also have to have social status." Feeling Chen Mingming's eyes, the goddess still spoke again.

"Overseas, such as our Chinatown, you have to have status to be respected, and it's useless to have a little wealth."

"It's the same everywhere in the world, where there is no money, where there is status. As far as I know, in San Francisco, when people mention Chinese, they think of gangsters, drug trafficking, and robbery. What is the Huaqing Gang, what is loyal and righteous, in addition to bullying the Chinese, these organizations have no status. Chen Mingliang said very directly, he didn't look down on the gangsters who fought petty at all.

The goddess's face is not good-looking, and the old man she married is a member of the Zhi Gong Party, and her predecessor also started with protection money, and she is one of the members of Hetao.

"Mr. Chen may not know much about the predecessors of some political parties, and even the consulate of the country will invite them to spend the festival together during the festival, which is a symbol of status." The goddess said that she still looked honored.

This kind of trick of having fun with the people is played by an organization, Chen Mingliang was trying to find a reason and wording to refute it, and a security guard who was not tall but unusually strong came in and said that someone was looking for him outside.

"Who?" Chen Mingliang was very curious, except for a few individuals, no one knew that he was here.

The security guard said, "It's the staff of our consulate in San Francisco." ”

"Consulate?" Chen Mingliang was even more puzzled, he must not be able to hide the fact that he came to the United States, because he held a Chinese passport, and he had to file for entry and exit.

But is there something wrong with being able to find this place?

Still, I invited someone in.

What came in was a decent man in a suit and tie who had transitioned from youth to middle age, and he took the lead in extending his hand to Chen Mingming, "Hello, Mr. Chen, my surname is Chen, and I am an ordinary staff member of our consulate." ”

"Yo, Secretary Chen, why are you here?" There are really people here who know him, this visitor is the first secretary of the consulate, he is still a bit of a level, at least he has a lot of power, and he is the one who organized the head of the Chinese party in the past.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang, it turns out that you are also here." Secretary Chen nodded to the gentleman surnamed Zhang, and then continued to shake hands with Chen Mingming.

"Hello, Secretary Chen, what's the matter?" Chen Mingliang was still puzzled by him coming to him.

The job of a consular secretary is to answer the phone, take notes, send and receive documents, convey information, and do chores such as protocol arrangements and reception.

In fact, the position is not high, but the authority is not small, it can be said that he is a person with a lot of power except for the consul, and it is very easy to be promoted.

"Is there something you're doing here?" Chen Mingliang asked again.

Secretary Chen smiled and showed eight teeth, and then said, "Ambassador Peng of our consulate heard that you came to San Francisco, and he felt that he should do a little bit of landlord friendship, so he specially took the time to organize a gathering of local celebrities, and wanted to invite Mr. Chen Mingming, a well-known athlete in our country, to the banquet, I don't know if you can enjoy it." ”

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Chen Mingliang had no intention of agreeing.

In fact, Chen Mingliang's relationship with the official is not good, but it is not bad, and there are many such things.

The main reason is that he usually goes to a foreign place to participate in competitions, and the local ambassador usually finds someone to come to condole, but Chen Mingliang has always been more casual, he can go if he wants to, and he won't go if he doesn't want to go.

"The consul meant that I would like to invite you so that we can get together. It's not easy for people to see you in China, and it's not easy for you to come to San Francisco once. Although Secretary Chen spoke very politely, he had a tone that could not be refused.

However, being able to organize a banquet specifically for Chen Mingliang is also considered to be of high standard, at least those leading figures of some parties do not have this face.

"I'll please you, you leave a phone call for me, and I'll arrange a place when it's time." Chen Mingliang doesn't mean anything, but now he is still saving face for Senior Brother Meng, and he has to finish singing.

In the end, it depends on whether he wants to have a meal with the consul, he has seen too many ambassadors, and the level of the consul is much lower, although he does not look at people according to his rank, but he always has to take advantage of his own right time.

bsp; Secretary Chen said, "Our public officials are not like you who can do things cheaply, they are all ready over there, please don't shirk it, let's go now." ”

"What? You mean now? "Chen Mingming said in his heart, why are you so confident.

"Yes, we are all ready there, and our friends can also go over and have a lively time together, which can be regarded as our friendship as a landlord." Secretary Chen is still smiling professionally, he has practiced at a glance, and he doesn't know how many chopsticks he has broken.

"That's no, I won't go, I don't have the preparation to visit the consulate in my itinerary, I think it's happier here than there, please go back, thank you on my behalf, Mr. Consul." The twisted melon was not sweet, and Chen Mingliang suddenly felt a little unhappy.

Turning his head to the security guard, he said, "Send this Secretary Chen back." ”

Chen Mingliang sat back in his position and didn't look at him anymore, no matter how sweet you smiled, but what you said made people unhappy.

Secretary Chen didn't expect Chen Mingliang to refuse so simply without saving face, he wanted to say something more, but the security personnel already had the intention of blocking him, so he had to give up.

Everyone was stunned by Chen Mingming's operation.

At first, I thought he was really good at talking, after all, it was indeed a face-saving thing for others to invite him to the meeting, but I didn't expect to give no face at all if I didn't agree with him.

"This beautiful senior sister, can a person with status refuse the call of a powerful person so casually?" The senior sister was also indulging in surprise and couldn't answer.

Chen Mingliang felt that he was not respected, and naturally refused very thoroughly.

In fact, Mr. Consul originally wanted to come over in person, but Secretary Chen didn't let him, and arranged a banquet in advance, and then inquired about Chen Mingming's location, and invited Chen Mingliang to the meeting to show his strong work ability.

Everyone is still a little worried about Chen Mingming's stubbornness, although there is no big trouble, but is it really good to offend some people like this, and Chinese people overseas still need their help many times.

The banquet continued, and everyone still had some understanding of Chen Mingming's strength, this Mr. Chen still has a bit of a personality, not a completely easy-going person.

The goddess was a little ridiculous, her husband definitely didn't have the courage to directly refuse the invitation, and besides, he didn't have the status to let a consulate organize a banquet specifically for him.

However, it didn't take long for the security personnel to come in again, "Someone came again, and he said it was Consul Mr. Peng." ”

Sure enough, a middle-aged man came in again with the secretary Chen just now, and the secretary Chen was so well-educated, he still didn't mean to be angry, but he still said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, our Consul Peng has personally invited you, please be sure to appreciate it." ”

Chen Mingliang ignored him, but he still stretched out his hand to shake hands with Consul Peng, and the etiquette still couldn't be lost.

Consul Peng has been in the United States for a long time, he ignored Chen Mingming's outstretched hand, went up directly and gave Chen Mingliang a hug, and then patted Chen Mingliang's back,

"Welcome! Welcome Mr. Chen to San Francisco, and we are very proud to meet him. ”

Consul Peng grabbed Chen Mingming's hands very skillfully and did not relax, "Mr. Chen's hands are so good, even if he doesn't practice track and field, he will definitely be a good hand in basketball, and his achievements will not be under Da Yao." ”

This consul Chen Mingliang praised that there are rare characters in the sky and on the ground, and the flattery does not make people feel bored at all, but seems very sincere, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.

"Seeing Mr. Chen is the wish of the majority of overseas Chinese, and it is also my personal small wish, I don't know Mr. Chen..."

However, Chen Mingliang really didn't plan to go to any Lao Shizi's banquet, if he was unhappy, he would not go even if he was invited at another time.

"I'm sorry Mr. Peng, my itinerary plans are all arranged, I may not have so much time to come to the door to place hello, I'm really sorry, or I'll do it again when I get to China one day." Chen Mingliang even canceled his plans to treat him in San Francisco.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I can meet Mr. Chen, it's already to fulfill my little wish, Mr. Chen's schedule is tight, it's okay, it's okay."

Mr. Peng sat down and had a few glasses with everyone before leaving.

By this time the sun had set in the west, and the wind was stronger and cooler.

The consul got into the car, and the secretary sat in the co-pilot, but Chen Mingliang did not come out to send them, but some people present came out to see them off.

"Consul General Peng, Chen Mingliang is too faceless."

"Why should he give face, with his status and status, he doesn't go wherever he wants?"

"And our banquet?"

"Cancellation, being able to invite Mr. Chen Mingliang is indeed helpful for our work in San Francisco, but offending him is definitely a big obstacle to our future, he has more opportunities to meet leaders than anyone else, if we talk a few words of gossip, where can we still achieve results in our work."
