At the dining table, Shen Manjun and Black Bear humbled themselves and expressed their strong gratitude to Ye Zhanhua.
One had to know that in Xiao Zheng's eyes, these two people were tough bones. They were women who could not be defeated by the wind and rain. But now, for the sake of a mere one billion, they had put down their pride and raised their heads high.
This made Xiao Zheng feel sad. He also lamented the impermanence of the world. Things remained the same, but people have changed.
"You guys eat slowly. I have a meeting in the afternoon, so I'll be leaving first." Ye Zhanhua and Shen Manjun drank a glass of wine and smiled. "Order whatever you want. Put the bill on me. Don't stand on ceremony when you come to Beijing in the future. Just stay here. "
Then, he called the manager of the hotel and gave him some instructions before leaving.
"I'll walk you out." Xiao Zheng stood up and followed him out.
The two arrived at the lobby. Ye Zhanhua was not in a hurry to leave. She took a cup of hot tea and sat in the resting area. She sized up Xiao Zheng with interest. She lit a cigarette and said, "Brat. Do you have to drag me out for such a small matter? This Zheng Zhong may not be very capable. But he's been in Beijing for twenty to thirty years. He's much more well-informed than ordinary people. He might not have seen you before, but as long as you tell him your name, he'll be scared shitless. Wouldn't he be scared shitless and beg for mercy on the spot? "
Xiao Zheng took a sip of the tea and rubbed his brows. "You'll be more direct. After all, you're a veteran with a great reputation. I might have to use some tricks. Also, I don't want to make it too public. "
"You don't want to make it public, or are you afraid of provoking those two?" Ye Zhanhua was a wily old fox. She saw through Xiao Zheng's thoughts immediately. Then, she puffed out another mouthful of smoke and said slowly. "Xiao Zheng. People shouldn't be divided into high and low, but in this world, there must be a distinction between the strong and the weak. Some people say that it's unfair, but in fact, it's fair. You've worked hard and fought hard. If you're on the same level as a bunch of idlers, eating from the same pot. That's the real tragedy. Of course, I'm not saying that your friends are idlers. It's just a simple reason. "
After a brief pause, Ye Canghua extinguished the cigarette and calmly said, "Xiao Zheng, I know you well. I also know that you are a man who does not like to show off. But you can't accommodate everyone. If you are not thinking clearly on this point. I will live a very tiring life. "
Xiao Zheng put down the teacup and nodded. "I know."
"Let's talk about it the other way around." Ye Canghua shrugged and smiled. "If you didn't know me, if you weren't strong enough. Can you help them? You want to live in the same circle as them. Or do you stand high above them and solve their problems effortlessly? "
Xiao Zheng looked up and smiled bitterly. "When did you become a psychologist?"
Ye Canghua laughed heartily, got up, and patted Xiao Zheng on the shoulder. "Get used to it quickly. Now it's them. Perhaps one day in the future, even I will need your help. But that is not what grieves me. On the contrary, I will be very gratified and proud. Because I formed a friendship with you when you were at your most ordinary. This is my luck, and also my ability. "
After saying that, Ye Canghua left the hotel surrounded by a group of hotel leaders. Extremely carefree.
Xiao Zheng sat on the sofa and digested it for a while until his thoughts were clear and he completely understood the meaning of Ye Canghua's words. Then he got up and returned to the wing room.
As soon as he entered the room, Xiao Zheng noticed that there were at least twice as many dishes on the dining table. There were also several rounds of drinks, all of which were so expensive that the working class couldn't even buy a bottle of wine with half a year's salary. The original thirty to forty thousand yuan banquet was raised to at least two hundred thousand yuan.
Evil capitalists.
"Come, let's continue drinking." Xiao Zheng sat next to Black Bear and said heartily. "The matter has been resolved, and it's not easy for you to come here. You have to stay for a few more days and let me do my best as a host."
Black Bear was straightforward. Previously, he had been tormented by the project. Now that it was resolved, he felt at ease. He drank like it was free and poured cup after cup into his bloody mouth. Shen Manjun, on the other hand, drank carefully. She wasn't as unruly as before.
"Brother. You're really capable! "
After three rounds of drinking, Black Bear's eyes stared blankly, and his wheat-colored face also had a touch of wine red. He patted Xiao Zheng's shoulder and said, "When I entered the Xin Ao headquarters, I was shocked by the luxurious building. Those employees, leaders, all of them were full of energy and professionalism. Everyone smiled when they saw me. The decoration and working environment were also surprisingly good. My eyes stared blankly and I didn't dare to sit casually. "
Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Tell me, which girl do you like? I'll help you pull some strings later. "
Black Bear said embarrassedly, "Brother, don't tease me. I'm not in the mood right now. "
After a pause, Black Bear clinked his glass with Xiao Zheng and then said in a cadence, "Brother. To tell you the truth. In the past two years, our transformation has been quite successful. The brothers below also have a mouthful of comfortable food to eat. Many brothers with brains have also started their own small businesses. It's ten thousand times better than the previous life of fear. It can't be said that there are no difficulties, and it's not that no one looks down on us. But who can we blame? We can only blame ourselves for being young and frivolous. We always thought that we could take a watermelon knife and make a name for ourselves. "
"In the past two years, I can be considered to have thoroughly experienced the benefits of money. Money is not only used to eat and live. It can also be used for many other purposes. Previously, a brother's wife was seriously ill. Just the medical expenses alone cost more than one million. Not to mention the post-surgery recuperation. If he was in the underworld before, how could he afford so much money? Steal or rob? Maybe he didn't get the money, so he went to jail first. "
"In the past two years, the biggest truth I've concluded is. That is, when you have money, you can let those who care about you and the people you care about live a good life. Even if you have to suffer a little and grovel a little. But it's better than having wine today and getting drunk today. You're happy, but the people around you are unlucky, right? "Black Bear drank another two glasses and sighed. "Brother, I'm very grateful for your proposal to transform. If we didn't change careers. If we didn't change paths. Maybe now we wouldn't be worrying about hundreds of millions or even billions of business. Instead, we would be worrying about our lives and the living environment of our family. "
"We're brothers, why say these things?" Xiao Zheng rolled his eyes at Black Bear and slapped the back of his head. "In the future, don't go crazy after drinking two glasses of horse piss. Believe it or not, I'll throw you into the Huangpu River to feed the fish? "
Black Bear grinned and nodded heavily. Then, he lay on the table and fell asleep.
Xiao Zheng saw that Black Bear had fallen asleep. He ordered the waiter to bring a blanket to cover him. Then, he looked at Shen Manjun with a complicated expression. "Go out for a walk?"
