Bai Yujiao was so ashamed and angry that she couldn't find any words to express her feelings at the moment.
What was going on?
Did he treat her as a piece of pork on the butcher's chopping board? He sold her as he pleased and took her back as he pleased?
Her parents didn't want her to date Xiao Zheng, so they kept a cold face and ignored Xiao Zheng from the beginning to the end. Second Uncle was the same, and he kept teasing Xiao Zheng. Aunt Sun was even worse. In just a short time, her expression changed several times. One moment, she despised Xiao Zheng, and the next moment, she was fawning over him. Not to mention Auntie Sun herself, even Bai Yujiao's face was completely lost by her!
What a hideous face!
Bai Yujiao regretted it.
She regretted bringing Xiao Zheng to her house.
Even if it was a little more stressful, it was better than being ashamed. What's more, after today, how would Xiao Zheng think of her? With such a group of relatives at home, how could she be any better?
The most damning thing was, wasn't Grandpa usually a good drinker? If it wasn't for his weak health, he could even drink three or four cups without a problem, let alone two cups!
Why did he roll his eyes after two cups today?
Could it be that Mom and Dad had no choice but to ignore this matter?
Bai Yujiao didn't mention what was going on in her mind. The Bai family, on the other hand, had their own thoughts. They stared at Xiao Zheng expectantly and playfully. They were waiting for the effect of his phone call.
Aunt Sun was even worse.
She spent a lot of effort to get Dong Jingli's private number. She called ten times, but no one answered. She knew the reason. It was because her number was displayed as a stranger on Dong Jingli's phone. For such a number, Dong Jingli, who was a high-ranking person in Xin Ao, would definitely not waste her time to socialize.
So the moment the phone was connected, she quickly took out a pen and paper, wrote a sentence and handed it to Xiao Zheng: Put it on speaker.
She wanted to let Dong Jingli know her, or even know her, through this phone call. The two men in the Bai family didn't object to Aunt Sun's suggestion. Otherwise, no matter how much Xiao Zheng talked to the person on the other side of the phone, they wouldn't know the specific situation. Who knew if Xiao Zheng was lying or not? Who knew if the Dong Jingli on the phone was the leader of the Pearl Division?
Xiao Zheng took the note and glanced at it. He nodded with a slight smile on his face and pressed the hands-free button.
Then, he opened his mouth first and said in a business-like tone, "Good afternoon, Mr. Dong. Sorry to disturb you again. "
On the other side of the phone, Dong Jingli felt that Xiao Zheng wasn't talking to her alone.
Not long ago, she had spoken to Xiao Zheng on the phone. Regardless of whether it was his tone or wording, he was more enthusiastic and easygoing than he was now. It was not a slightly more official form of address.
"Mr. Xiao, you're exaggerating. It's not easy for you to come back to Pearl City. It's my duty to take good care of you. "Dong Jingli's attitude was not very enthusiastic, but she had a good sense of propriety. It didn't make people feel like they were fawning over him, but it gave him a certain amount of respect.
At least from this aspect, Dong Jingli's attitude towards Xiao Zheng could be seen. It was enough to convince the Bai family that Xiao Zheng's position in Xin Ao was not too low. At least it could make Dong Jingli take the initiative to build a relationship between the two.
Aunt Sun listened to the conversation between the two, plus she had heard Dong Jingli speak on stage at a large party. All of a sudden, she couldn't hold it in. She confirmed that the person on the other side of the phone was the head of Pearl City, Dong Jingli!
She quickly gave Xiao Zheng a look, hoping that Xiao Zheng would mention her matter as soon as possible, or even invite her to participate in this phone conversation. Even if it was just getting the agency of a certain area of Pearl City, it would still improve the quality of the company.
Aunt Sun's company had a lot of products, but not to mention an international first-tier brand like Xin Ao. Even if it was a domestic first-tier brand, it didn't manage to get one. Therefore, every time she had a meal with someone or discussed business, she couldn't bring out a very significant result. And this result was the most important thing for all the major businesses. It didn't matter if it was a gimmick or a real ability. Once they could be related to the Phantom series, it would be a definite improvement for Aunt Sun's company.
At this time, not only her, but even her husband, Bai Jianjun, was looking at Xiao Zheng with a rather surprised expression. He didn't expect this ordinary-looking young man to have this kind of ability. How old is he? Not much older than Bai Yujiao, right? Dong Jingli was a famous figure in Pearl City's business circle. She should be around thirty-five years old. Whether it was her skills or personal ability, she was outstanding. Could Xiao Zheng really talk to her on an equal footing?
If that was really the case, then Xiao Zheng just needed to put in some effort, it would be much better than him going around to pave the way for his wife.
Of course, these were just what he thought. Even if Xiao Zheng really had this kind of ability, Bai Jianjun wouldn't show his attitude.
Hua Xia was a society based on officials. Except for a very few big shots in the business circle who were directly connected to the central government, most businessmen wouldn't be presumptuous in front of even a small leader at the division level or even a section level. In addition to protecting themselves, because they were doing business, they had to deal with the relevant departments. Unlike the giants at the top of the pyramid like Lin Laoyao. With hundreds of billions of investment, even the leaders at the national level would take the initiative to give corresponding policy support.
Let's take a very simple example. If an ordinary person opened a small restaurant, as long as you dared to open it, a series of departments such as industry and commerce, tax, and health would come looking for you. It didn't matter if you had other ideas. You must accompany them carefully. Serve them. If you are not careful, the head of the department will force you to close down.
On the other hand, in a County or a relatively less wealthy city, a famous commercial plaza will be located there. Which department dares to make things difficult for them? Even the leaders of the County, the City, and the Investment Promotion Agency will take the initiative to accompany them. They will pat their chest and promise to give them more resources.
Why? It doesn't matter if there is one more or one less small restaurant for the government officials. But a large business can increase the activity of the economy and bring in political achievements for the leaders.
The Central Government has two core requirements for the grassroots leaders. The first requirement is to develop, develop, and develop. The second requirement is to be stable and stable.
Whoever brings in funds for the development of their territory will be the government officials' VIP. Lin Laoyao's every move will affect the whole country, and he will be the Zhongnanhai's VIP. Even the leaders of the country are willing to listen to his views.
As a politician, Bai Jianjun looks down on those small businessmen from the bottom of his heart. Even in the political circle, he is also a small businessman. That's why even now, he cannot lower his head to Xiao Zheng and show any attitude.
Bai Jianjun's pride and Big Brother's influence are the reasons why he thinks this way. But Auntie Sun is a practical person. She is someone who knows when to yield and when to stand tall. Although she is snobbish, she knows what she wants. From the first day she started doing business, she threw her pride into her bag.
Hearing Dong Jingli's words, Xiao Zheng felt that this woman is not simple. She can tell what to do with just one sentence from him. No wonder Lan Xin treats her as her number one general. She is indeed capable.
Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Boss Dong, I'm sorry. Is it convenient here? I have something important to discuss with you. "
