Big Shots Fight
This meeting was completely planned by Xue Ke. Of course, there was also the matchmaking of the big shot behind him. After all, with his ability, he could not invite his uncle. Before his uncle came to Shanghai, he had talked with him in detail for a few hours. As for what they talked about, he did not know.
However, what Xue Ke could guess was that the two families had reached an agreement on this matter. In the end, they just took what they needed.
Xue Ke couldn't wait to see the ending. The ending was that the Qin Family would be divided and devoured. They had their own plan here, and there was a deeper plan on the other side.
As for Boss Ye, Xue Ke felt that he was dispensable. If he had, it would be better. He was not afraid of having too many allies. If not, nothing would happen. It could only be said that the structure over there was too small. The Qin Family could scare them.
Compared with Boss Ye's answer, Yan Chaozong was more looking forward to the meeting on the second floor. He was very clear that if he did not mention the Yan Family, he might not be able to make Third Master Wu make up his mind. However, at present, he really dared not let the whole Yan Family support him. That was why he did this. This was also what Xue Ke had promised him. He wanted him to see the Xue Family's action.
In the private room on the second floor of the teahouse, people sitting by the window could see the scenery on both sides of Suzhou Creek. The newly opened Suning Polaroid Hotel was diagonally opposite. Not far away was the new mansion in Shanghai, Suhewan Villa.
Two old men with different temperaments sat opposite each other. They looked at the scenery outside the window and talked and laughed. The atmosphere was very harmonious. There was no intrigue or deception. They talked more about history and philosophy. Of course, they also talked about China's traditional culture, especially Confucian, Buddhist and Taoist culture.
Third Master Wu had done a lot of research on the Confucian, Buddhist, and Taoist cultures, especially the Buddhist culture. In recent years, he had read a lot about the Buddhist culture. Since he had lived on Mount Putuo for such a long time, it would be unreasonable if he did not know these things.
Sitting opposite Third Master Wu was Xue Ke's First Uncle. He used to be a university teacher. He originally taught China's traditional culture. However, he chose to enter politics later. Although he entered the official career later, he still liked reading. Now that he had retired, he studied traditional literature most of the time.
Therefore, after the two old men met, they had a lot of topics to talk about. It had nothing to do with status or level. They just had the same interests.
The pot of tea had been changed several times, but the two elders had yet to talk about the most important matter. It seemed that it was no longer important.
Xue Ke's uncle's face was ruddy. Because he had dyed his hair, he looked like he was in his fifties. He had a strong official's aura, and his every move had the prestige of an official. This was the aura of being immersed in the officialdom for many years.
"I didn't expect you to have such a deep understanding of traditional culture," Xue Yan said politely after drinking a cup of tea.
It was not that Third Master Wu had never met an official of this level before. Consequently, he knew how to deal with them. He smiled and flattered as he said, "What I have studied is just superficial knowledge. Director Xue is a master of Chinese classics. I still have a lot to learn."
Xue Yan laughed. Nowadays, people called him Director Xue, and his real identity was a deputy director. However, this director was not an ordinary office director, but a deputy director of a committee under the National People's Congress. Most people who knew about the political system knew what level he was at before he retired.
"Brother, you are too polite. At least in the aspect of Buddhist studies, I am not as good as you." Xue Yan laughed and said, "Anyway, it is fate that I can meet you today."
Xue Yan knew something about Third Master Wu recently. They did not have any contact before. After all, Third Master Wu had served in the north before and had never been involved in politics in the south. However, influential people in Zhejiang were not people who could be underestimated now. In the future, he should pay more attention to them.
Therefore, when his nephew invited him to Shanghai, he agreed. Of course, it was more because he wanted to talk with his nephew.
Third Master Wu smiled awkwardly and lowered his head to drink tea. He was not in a hurry to speak. He was waiting for Director Xue to talk about that matter. They both knew the purpose of meeting today.
Director Xue had experienced all kinds of situations. He said naturally, "Let's not flatter each other. We can communicate more in the future."
"Director Xue, if you have time, you can live in Mount Putuo for a while." Third Master Wu took the initiative to invite Director Xue. He also wanted to see Director Xue's attitude.
When masters fought, no move was better than having a move.
Xue Yan picked up the teacup and smiled. He replied, "I'm afraid that I won't have the chance this time.
I still have some things to deal with in Beijing. I have to go back tomorrow. After I go back, you can take care of things in Shanghai. "
Third Master Wu was stunned. It did not occur to him that Director Xue's opening remarks would be so sudden and so simple. It was not easy to be an official. Third Master Wu did not know what to say at the moment.
He was at a disadvantage.
Xue Yan chuckled and said, "Brother, you don't trust me, do you?"
"Director Xue, you are too serious. Since you came to Shanghai to see me, I can be at ease. I will do my best in Shanghai. After all, I have no choice." It did not occur to Third Master Wu that he would lose to Xue Yan in the end after holding on for two hours.
However, Third Master Wu was not disappointed. After all, he was at a disadvantage in this matter. Director Xue had come to Shanghai in person, which showed that he had given him face. In the end, Director Xue revealed a piece of news. Some things were really like the rumors, which made him feel more confident.
Hearing this, Xue Yan stood up slowly with a smile and said, "That's all for today. I have an appointment with my friends. Let's get together next time."
Third Master Wu nodded and followed Director Xue downstairs. They were still chatting about trivial things politely.
When they went downstairs, the young people downstairs immediately stood up and looked at them, looking forward to the result of this meeting. After all, they did not know what was going on upstairs.
Xue Ke looked at his First Uncle. He knew the answer from his First Uncle's eyes. He grinned and thought that his First Uncle was really important. Seeing Xue Ke's expression, Yan Chaozong also knew the result. The biggest stone in his heart was put down quietly.
When they walked to the door, Xue Yan turned back and said to Third Master Wu, "Brother, I will see you off here. We will meet next time. As for other things, Xue Ke will tell you. I don't know much about them."
Third Master Wu chuckled and said, "See you next time."
Xue Ke said happily, "Uncle, let me see you off."
Seeing this scene, Yang Deng knew that this man, who made his Foster Father treat him with respect, was a big shot from Beijing. However, he did not know his specific identity.
That playboy called him Uncle, which meant that his identity was not simple. He also came from Beijing. Yan Chaozong and that playboy seemed to be familiar with each other, which meant that Yan Chaozong had a background in Beijing. However, he did not know what kind of role he played in it.
When he saw Yan Chaozong just now, Yang Deng was also very surprised. He knew the relationship between Qin Sheng and Yan Chaozong and what Yan Chaozong had done in Hangzhou. Anyway, he had a bad impression of Yan Chaozong. However, he was on his Foster Father's side now, so he could not say anything.
After Xue Ke left, Yan Chaozong said politely, "Master Wu, let's go upstairs and talk."
Third Master Wu patted Yan Chaozong's shoulder gently and said, "Chaozong, you are really not simple."
Yan Chaozong just smiled and said nothing. Yang Deng wanted to follow him upstairs, but Yan Chaozong's expression changed slightly. Third Master Wu immediately understood what he meant. He turned back and said, "Wait here."
Yang Deng nodded. He looked calm, but he was quite resentful of Yan Chaozong.
In the Pudong World Financial Center, Qin Sheng and the others, who had been busy for a long time and did not even have lunch, finally finished this round of interviews. Several executives had already left. The three of them went back to the office and further discussed.
Qin Sheng took the lead and said, "Uncle Lin, Zhong Shan, among the four of them, who do you think is the most capable?"
"Sheng Jing is the most famous in the industry, and his ability is beyond doubt. Moreover, he is relatively calm. I am optimistic about him." Lin Xi had a deep impression of this man. Obviously, this man had been in the financial system for many years, and he had a lot of experience that amazed Lin Xi.
Qin Sheng nodded silently. This man named Sheng Jing had the most beautiful resume. He had served as the person in charge of important departments in the financial system both at home and abroad. Moreover, the company he was in charge of now had a good performance. Everyone also thought that he would hold an important position in the new company in the future.
Zhong Shan followed up and said, "Needless to say, Sheng Jing is within my expectation. The other two are also good. They are all within our rating range. However, I am most amazed by Xu Yong. He is known as a ghost in the financial circle of Shanghai. Many companies have spent a lot of money to recruit him, but it seems that he is not interested in job-hopping. Moreover, many of his ideas and suggestions on financial instruments and system risks are quite advanced. I am optimistic about him."
Lin Xi said directly, "Xu Yong is good, but he has only been in the company for a short time, and he is too capable. I am afraid that when you can't give him the position he wants, he will leave directly."
Zhong Shan did not deny it. He echoed, "This is indeed a problem. It seems that we need to contact him privately."
What Uncle Lin and Zhong Shan said was basically in line with Qin Sheng's thoughts. He also liked Xu Yong very much. However, he was a little worried because he had just been in the company for a month.
It was almost time. Qin Sheng had to rush to Shangshan Ruoshui and go to the hospital in the afternoon. He could not delay any more time. He stood up and made arrangements. "Brother Zhong, arrange the interview tomorrow. Send the specific time to me and Uncle Lin. I have something to do in the afternoon. I can't accompany you for lunch."
Lin Xi smiled and nodded. "Go do your work. Don't worry about us."
Zhong Shan nodded. He still had a lot of things to do, not just the interview. If he wanted to gain enough trust from Qin Sheng and the Qin family, he had to show enough strength. Otherwise, why should he be trusted when anyone could do the job?
However, Lin Xi just felt that Qin Sheng was so busy. Was this the life he wanted?
Because Lin Xi had lived to this age, he understood a lot of big principles. For example, many people only cared about how high you could stand, how far you could go, how successful you were, how much money you could earn, but few people cared about whether you were happy or not.
