Ye Jiayi is a standard professional, she doesn't care about the entertainment on the occasion of the drinking party, the reminder just now was intended to let the two CEOs drink less and rest early, but she didn't expect it to cause their embarrassment, which made Ye Jiayi feel uneasy.

With Lao Zhou and Lao Gao's temper, in exchange for their subordinates, if they dared to persuade them like this at the wine table, they would have been knocked out of the private room a long time ago, but Ye Jiayi was not only not their subordinate, but also the God of Wealth they invited.

Ye Jiayi's reminder made the two CEOs of Hongyuan Company immediately cheer up, and Lao Zhou smiled awkwardly, "Don't worry, tomorrow's things have been arranged." ”

The old high-end raised his glass, "Where is this, it's still early, you are guests from afar, we have to accompany you, Mr. Guan, I respect you, drink half of this sip, speed up the progress, how about it?"

"Mr. Gao, let's drink slowly, drink a lot of wine, it is fate to get together, I don't care how much I drink, I mainly use this opportunity to communicate with each other and deepen understanding. "Guan Yuntian said.

Ye Jiayi saw that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and she immediately retracted what she had just said, "Mr. Chou Gao, you better drink slowly, it's still early, fellow villagers meet, there are more topics, just use this opportunity to understand each other." ”

"Listen to the accent, Mr. Ye is not a local in our hometown, right?" asked Lao Zhou.

Guan Yuntian took it, "In terms of geographical location, compared with here, Mr. Ye is also a northerner, but compared with our hometown, she is a southerner." That's right, Mr. Ye is from J Province. ”

"Oh, Mr. Ye turned out to be from J Province, how did he get to our hometown to work with Mr. Guan?" asked Lao Gao curiously.

Ye always graduated with an MBA from Duke University across the ocean, started as a junior manager at Dow Chemical's wholly owned company, and later became a department executive at Dow. Guan Yuntian introduced.

"No wonder, Mr. Ye has an extraordinary temperament, and he has such a powerful professional background. With a master like Mr. Ye at the helm of the enterprise, it is no wonder that your Changda Group is developing so fast and so well. ”

"What a temperament extraordinary! The two CEOs praised that Changda Group can develop to the current situation, mainly because the general manager has a good way of management and management, and I joined the team late, but I am the executor of the board of directors' resolutions. Ye Jiayi said humbly.

"Jiayi, don't be so modest, the work you do is obvious to all, and everyone understands it in their hearts. The two CEOs, let's not discuss this issue now, let's drink. Guan Yuntian wants to divert the topic.

Lao Zhou picked up the wine glass, did not drink immediately, but said to the guests: "Mr. Guan, Manager Chen has already told you, right? Hongyuan Company will have a groundbreaking ceremony for the experimental workshop tomorrow for the industrialization test of the new project, we would like to invite you to attend the ribbon-cutting event with Mr. Ye, and ask you to cut the ribbon, and now we will officially notify you of this matter, so that you can have a mental preparation." ”

Financing manager Lao Chen talked to Guan Yuntian on the phone a few days ago, Guan Yuntian has not agreed, now Hongyuan Company Chairman Lao Zhou officially invited, Guan Yuntian will not easily agree, first, Guan Yuntian is low-key in nature, no interest in activities such as ribbon-cutting speeches, secondly, whether this project is true or false, now I don't know anything, I came here to attend the groundbreaking ceremony, but also to cut the ribbon on stage, maybe I was arranged to say a few words on the spot, a gesture or something, as if I made a special trip here to help the other party stand on the platform, in the case of the project is true or false, and has not decided whether to participate, Guan Yuntian feels very unsuitable。

"Dong Chou, we have come from afar, and we are not familiar with the customs of the Special Administrative Region and do not know the local rules, so we will not attend this groundbreaking ceremony. "Guan Yuntian said.

"Mr. Guan thinks too much, there are no customs and rules, the foundation stone is cut and the ribbon is cut, the whole country is almost the same, you are always our guest of honor, how can you not attend the groundbreaking ceremony?"

"Then let's talk first, Mr. Ye and I can go to the ceremony on site, but I resolutely do not participate in activities such as ribbon cutting. Guan Yuntian said it absolutely.

"Why is that?"

Guan Yuntian did not answer immediately, Ye Jiayi explained: "The two CEOs don't know, Mr. Guan has always been low-key, Changda Group is our local premier private enterprise, it stands to reason that it can often appear in various media, but he always refuses media interviews, even if the company is rated as a local environmental protection model unit, it is really perfunctory, in the case of having to accept media interviews, he also asked that his voice and picture not appear in the media." ”

"Mr. Guan is really an overly low-key person, isn't it the best opportunity to promote the company and yourself in the media? Why should Mr. Guan refuse?" Lao Zhou and Lao Gao didn't understand.

Ye Jiayi continued: "Not only that, Mr. Guan also politely rejected the kindness of someone recommending him to be a 'representative' and a 'member', under normal circumstances, any enterprise anywhere, as long as the scale is large and does better, the boss of the enterprise is either this 'representative' or that 'member', and even more than once, the relevant departments are ready to recommend him to serve in the provincial and municipal federation of industry and commerce, but he still refused. All this time, he had no interest in these things. ”

Lao Zhou and Lao Gao seemed to be incredulous, and said almost in unison: "Mr. Guan, do you want to be in the same stream, or do you intend to show your integrity?" 'Representative' and 'member', as well as the position of the provincial and municipal federation of industry and commerce, is the name that many bosses dream of, but you refuse again and again, to be honest, your high-spirited sentiment will not be possessed by ordinary people, and we will not learn it." ”

In addition, those so-called names are actually very noble, because it means that they shoulder a certain responsibility, and there is no way to talk about the same thing, but I am not naturally interested in those things, just like eating and drinking, some people like salty, some people like light, some people like spicy, some people like sour, some people like sour, some people like to drink beer, some people like to drink liquor, and some people don't drink alcohol. Guan Yuntian explained.

Of course, it is very important to make money in a business, but how can anyone not want to be famous!"

Ye Jiayi took over the conversation and continued: "Different views, different attitudes towards fame and fortune, when it comes to the ribbon-cutting ceremony, our company's new project is completed and put into production, and generally does not engage in ribbon-cutting celebrations, even a rural road built by Mr. Guan himself, the township wants to hold a traffic ceremony, so to speak, he agreed to attend the ribbon-cutting, but finally refused to name the road after him." ”

Lao Gao and Lao Zhou shook their heads again and again, "Mr. Guan, isn't it natural that the highway you funded and built was named after you? There is nothing wrong with it! You look at those projects funded and donated by celebrities, such as Shaw Building, Shaw Gymnasium, Shaw Hope Primary School, etc., etc., etc., etc., the list goes on, and it is also your own money, why are you unwilling to accept such an honor?"

But the two CEOs should also see that the same Hong Kong celebrities, Li Ka-shing's funded and donated projects, generally do not leave their names. It's not that there is much difference between leaving a name and not leaving a name, but it goes back to the different personal preferences and different ways of doing things. All in all, as long as you invest in a good thing, there is no good or bad thing. Guan Yuntian said lightly.

"Mr. Guan, we admire your realm, but tomorrow's groundbreaking ceremony, we sincerely hope that you can cut the ribbon on stage. ”

"Two CEOs, I have received the kindness of Hongyuan Company, but I have made it very clear, I hope you will not be difficult, okay?" Guan Yuntian completely blocked the door.

"Ouch, Mr. Guan is so difficult to invite, it seems that we don't have enough face! Okay, just rely on Mr. Guan, and don't cut the ribbon on stage, but it's always okay for everyone to take pictures together to make a commemoration, right? If you don't even refuse to take pictures, then we will be embarrassed!" Lao Zhou looked very sincere.

"Dong Chou said seriously, this has nothing to do with face, but just personal character. As for taking pictures to commemorate the occasion, let's talk about it tomorrow. Guan Yuntian didn't want to participate in any groundbreaking ceremony from the bottom of his heart, the purpose of his trip with Ye Jiayi was only to inspect the financing project on the spot, and he was not interested in other things in Hongyuan Company.

After drinking the third glass of wine, Lao Zhou and Lao Gao were already a little drunk, Guan Yuntian saw it in his eyes, "Two bosses, it's not too early, let's end here, right?"

"No, Mr. Guan hasn't drunk yet, the two of us will continue to accompany you, Manager Chen, and let the waiter pour the wine. Lao Zhou instructed Lao Chen, who was sitting on the side, that in fact, he was already a little unfavorable when he spoke.

Without waiting for Lao Chen to speak, Guan Yuntian hurriedly stopped: "Dong Zhou, you can't drink any more wine, you still have something to do tomorrow, it's better to rest early." ”

Lao Chen also wanted to ask the waiter to pour wine, but Guan Yuntian resolutely disagreed, "Manager Chen, in the matter of drinking, you listen to me tonight." ”

Lao Gao looked more sober than Lao Zhou, "You can stop drinking, Mr. Guan, the nightlife in the Special Administrative Region is richer than that in the mainland, now that the wine is over, let's find a place to have fun?"

Guan Yuntian didn't answer, but set his eyes on Ye Jiayi.

"Thank you Mr. Gao for your kindness, even if the nightlife is over, we are also tired from a day and want to rest early. Ye Jiayi has studied and lived in the United States for five or six years, she is no stranger to the so-called nightlife, as the only lady present, she does not want to go to such an occasion, so as not to embarrass everyone.

Everyone had no choice but to respect Ye Jiayi's suggestion.

In fact, Guan Yuntian didn't want to go to that kind of occasion, on the one hand, he felt that it was not worth wasting his time on it, and on the other hand, Ye Jiayi was present, if Lao Zhou and Lao Gao said something out of the ordinary with the strength of wine, with Ye Jiayi's character, if there was any unpleasantness between the two sides, it would be even more unworthy.

Just after eight o'clock in the morning the next day, Guan Yuntian and Ye Jiayi walked downstairs after breakfast, and as soon as they got out of the elevator room, they saw Lao Chen sitting in the rest of the welcome hall waiting, "Manager Chen, I've kept you waiting for a long time." Guan Yuntian greeted.

"Mr. Guan and Mr. Ye, you guys are early! I didn't wait long, I just arrived. Lao Chen stood up and walked out the door with Guan Yuntian and Ye Jiayi.

Crown 3.0 drove over, the three of them got in the car and drove to Hongyuan Company, the car turned into the parking lot in front of the office building, and saw the bustling crowd, "It's very lively today!" Guan Yuntian said.

"These people are all invited guests by the company. Lao Chen explained.

"Just such a groundbreaking ceremony, do you still have to make a huge noise?" What puzzled Ye Jiayi was that she had long heard that the people of the Special Administrative Region pay attention to efficiency, do not make superficial statements, and do not engage in formalities, and it seems that this is not necessarily the case!

"Mr. Ye didn't know, our project dragged on for a long time, and the project was very good, the local government departments and relevant brother units have been very concerned, and now they are going to carry out industrial experiments, so they have to know that the project is going very smoothly, and take the opportunity of the groundbreaking ceremony to invite them to the site and take the opportunity to publicize our project, which is also beneficial to the future work. ”

"I see!" Ye Jiayi thought to herself, in fact, the representatives of Changda Group were invited to attend the ceremony for the same purpose, who knows how many of these invited guests are investors who have already thrown money into them?

"Manager Chen, you go to take care of the other guests, and we will wait here. "Guan Yuntian said.

"Two CEOs, my mission is to accompany you, there are many people upstairs, let's not go up, wait here for a while, the groundbreaking ceremony will start at 8:58, let's go over in a while, everything has been arranged over there." ”
