Nine Rooms Villa District.
In Shanghai, when it came to mansions, many people's first impression would be Tomson First Class, Sandalwood Palace …
Not many people mentioned Nine Rooms Hall.
It was not until later when Ma Yun moved in that Nine Rooms Hall became known to the public.
There were not many villas in Nine Rooms Hall, but the owners of each villa were second to none in their respective industries.
Not to mention anything else, a villa with an average price of hundreds of millions was not something that just anyone could afford.
Buying a villa for more than a hundred million and having a net worth of more than a hundred million were two different concepts.
Those who could afford to buy a villa here would not have a net worth of less than ten figures.
It was not Qi Fangfang's first time here.
This was her second time here. Even now, she still remembered how nervous she was the first time she came here.
Although she was used to being carefree, and even joking around with Li Dong, she was unscrupulous.
But she knew Li Dong because she knew him, and when they met, Li Dong was not very rich.
Also, Li Dong rarely acted serious in front of them. He was a little out of character.
Plus, they were about the same age, so Qi Fangfang was naturally not too afraid of Li Dong.
But in Nine Rooms Hall, just his aura alone was enough to make Qi Fangfang feel inferior.
Under the butler's lead, Qi Fangfang stepped into the main hall.
She did not look around. When she reached the main hall, Qi Fangfang looked up and saw her father rubbing his hands nervously as he sat on the sofa. She could not help but call out softly, "Dad."
Qi Fangfang's father was not considered old, and he looked quite plump. He was not an ordinary poor person.
But at this time, he was no different from an ordinary person. He did not know where to put his hands.
When he heard his daughter's call, Qi Guangtai hurriedly got up and said, "Fangfang, you're here …"
Before the father and daughter had time to communicate, they heard a hearty laughter from the side.
A middle-aged man in his early forties, who was not too old, walked over with a plate of fruits. He was wearing home clothes and smiled. "Guangtai, Fangfang, sit. Have some fruits, I cut them myself. Fangfang's aunt just went abroad a few days ago, and the nanny at home isn't very nimble either, so I gave her permission to do it myself. It's good to have enough clothes and food. "
Seeing this, Qi Guangtai hurriedly took the fruit platter and said nervously, "General Manager Cheng …"
Cheng Hui frowned and pretended to be angry, "Guang Tai, how many times have I told you to call me by my name? Calling me General Manager Cheng is looking down on me. Speaking of which, we are cousins, so it's only right for you to call me cousin. Now that you're shouting like this, aren't you slapping me in the face? "
Qi Guangtai had an awkward look on his face as he stammered, "No … I didn't mean that, it's just that …"
After struggling for a long time, Qi Guangtai said dryly, "Just give me the fruit platter. How can I let you cut the fruit for us?"
Although he didn't address Fang Cheng as President, Qi Guangtai used honorifics every time he opened his mouth, not daring to slight him in the slightest.
This so-called cousin had to go back five generations. If they were to really compare, there was no connection at all.
For so many years, Qi Guangtai had been begging for a living under the hands of Cheng Hui's subordinates.
In the past, he and Cheng Hui had also met face to face, but Cheng Hui was too far away from him. He knew Cheng Hui, but Cheng Hui didn't necessarily know who he was.
But he didn't know why, a few days ago, Cheng Hui suddenly summoned him.
In the end, Cheng Hui calculated that the ancestors of the two families were related.
Of course, in Hua Xia, if you carefully tried to build relationships, everyone was related, so this kind of thing couldn't be taken seriously.
Qi Guangtai also didn't expect that Cheng Hui would claim to be related to him. Logically speaking, he didn't even have time to claim to be related, so why would Cheng Hui look for him?
Later, after a few interactions, Qi Guangtai found out that it was because of his daughter.
In fact, Qi Guangtai really wasn't too clear about the reason. He asked his daughter, but she also didn't explain clearly.
However, since Cheng Hui saw him in a different light, Qi Guangtai couldn't wait to maintain this kind of relationship, so he didn't ask in detail.
Until today, when Cheng Hui suddenly took the initiative to call him and invite him to eat, he rushed over from Jiangzhe without stopping.
When he arrived here, he found out that Cheng Hui had actually invited his daughter.
He actually had some doubts about whether Cheng Hui had taken a liking to his daughter, but Cheng Hui was already married, and his children were already so old.
In addition, in terms of seniority, Qi Fangfang was his niece, so Qi Guangtai was also conflicted.
Knowing that his daughter was coming, he wanted to call and say a few words, but with Cheng Hui here, he didn't even dare to do anything big, how would he dare to call?
When his daughter arrived, Qi Guangtai became even more nervous.
He was afraid that Cheng Hui would say something unacceptable, and if he didn't agree, it would ruin their relationship. He couldn't afford to offend Cheng Hui.
Feeling nervous and uneasy, Qi Guangtai naturally became more careful, and he didn't dare to be careless when addressing Cheng Hui.
On the other hand, Qi Fangfang gradually calmed down and greeted in a low voice, "CEO Cheng."
Cheng Hui frowned and said unhappily, "Fangfang, why are you the same as your father? He's old and inflexible, so I won't say anything. You're a new generation university student, a top student. Is it so hard to call him uncle? Is it wrong for you to call him uncle? "
"No, I … I'm just not used to it," Qi Fangfang explained.
Cheng Hui sighed and said, "Forget it, you guys are treating me like an outsider. We're all family, so what's there to be polite about? Sit down and eat some fruits. Dinner will be ready in a while, but I won't be cooking today. I got someone to book a table at the hotel, and it will be sent over later. Please don't mind. "
Qi Guangtai hurriedly said, "How can we let you cook? We're fine with anything, so don't stand on ceremony."
"Guangtai, you're the one who doesn't stand on ceremony with me. Oh right, I got someone to increase your share last month, so there are more orders. You don't have any pressure on your side, right? "
Qi Guangtai hurriedly said, "No, no pressure. Don't worry, I promise to finish it on time. You think highly of me, and I can't embarrass you. Don't worry about the quality and price. If there's a problem, you can hold me responsible. I promise … "
Qi Guangtai hurriedly patted his chest and promised. He originally took some small orders at the subsidiary of Cheng Hui's group, and it was not a problem to earn a hundred to two hundred thousand a year.
However, his own small factory was not much different from a handicraft workshop. It was not considered a company.
It could only be said that it was not a problem to support his family, and his life was much better than ordinary people.
However, ever since he built a relationship with Cheng Hui, the orders he received increased. Based on the current trend, he would probably be able to earn a little more than five hundred thousand a year.
Qi Guangtai was excited and worried at the same time that his income was three times more than before.
He was afraid that one day, Cheng Hui would kick him out if he was dissatisfied. Not to mention the current orders, even the original ones would be canceled. If that happened, he would have to starve.
Therefore, he had to think carefully about every word Cheng Hui said and did not dare to be negligent.
Cheng Hui saw that he was cautious, and after a few times, he was too lazy to say anything more.
After a few words of greeting, Cheng Hui looked at Qi Fangfang and smiled, "Fangfang, it's been a while since you graduated. Have you found a job yet?"
Qi Fangfang's face tensed up, and she said dryly, "I told Yuhan a few days ago that I had dinner with him today. However, when I told him about it, he didn't take it seriously, so I didn't dare to say much, so … "
Cheng Hui's expression changed slightly, and then he said with a smile, "You young people just can't settle down.
Actually, according to my thoughts, there's still a great future there.
I know a little about his situation. He rose too quickly, and there are not many people who are familiar with him.
All classmates and friends are included. With a little ability, you can be promoted in a few months.
You're a top student at the Capital University, and you have a good relationship with his girlfriend. If you go there, you'll have a bright future in a few months at most.
I really hope that people of your generation will have a bright future.
You don't have to think too much. If I really want to do something, I don't have to go through you. In this world, anything can be done if you're willing to spend money.
If you can even bribe a member of the board of directors, what can't you do?
As for me, I'm really thinking for you.
It's not easy on your parents' side. They've been running this small factory for so many years, and they've earned a little money, but they don't have any status to speak of.
I see it in my eyes, and I'm anxious in my heart.
Unfortunately, I also have my own difficulties, and I can only help a little. Whether the Qi family can rise or not depends on you. Fangfang, do you think I'm right? "
Qi Fangfang gently bit her lips and nodded, "I know. Uncle Cheng thinks highly of our family, and that's why he gave me some advice. I actually want to go, but he doesn't have that intention. I'm too embarrassed to keep talking about it. "
"You're still too young!"
Cheng Hui shook his head and said with a smile, "It's okay. Take it slow. There's no rush.
I know him well. I've done some research recently. The company has been established for five years, and he has changed three secretaries.
The current one is still his classmate.
I'm afraid it won't be long before he goes down to take charge.
This is a good way for him to step down. He likes to use people he knows, so he can rest assured. Fangfang, your looks, education, and ability are all good.
You'll be a secretary for one or two years. In a few years, I might need to rely on you to help me, don't you think?
It shouldn't be a big problem to talk to your classmate.
You have a good relationship with your classmate, and you can also watch over her. She should be relieved when you explain things to her.
People can't put down their pride when they're young, and they think it's embarrassing to rely on connections to make a living.
However, when you're older, you'll understand that you should fight for what you have to fight for.
If you miss this opportunity now, you might not have another chance in the future. "
Qi Fangfang was silent for a moment. After a while, she said, "Okay, thank you, Uncle Cheng. I'll go back and talk to Yuhan to fight for it."
"That's right!"
Cheng Hui said with a smile, "Don't think I'm nagging. I'm old, and I want our future generations to live a good life. That's why I'm concerned. Fangfang, you have the ability and the opportunity. It'll be a pity if you miss it. That's all I have to say. I'm afraid you'll find me annoying if I say more. "
Cheng Hui chuckled for a while, but Qi Guangtai, who was next to him, was a little confused.
Then, Cheng Hui chatted for a while. He did not put on any airs, and it made people feel that he was kind and friendly.
Qi Guangtai gradually relaxed. When the butler brought people to serve wine and dishes, Qi Guangtai could not help but drink a few more glasses.
When the sky turned dark, the father and daughter left the villa area respectfully under the butler's escort.
They politely rejected the butler and asked the driver to send them away. After the father and daughter had walked for a while, Qi Guangtai said in a low voice, "Fangfang, what do you mean by what you said just now? Who did he ask you to be his secretary?"
Qi Fangfang said sullenly, "Don't worry about it. I'll take care of it myself."
"You, do you really think your father is a fool?" Qi Guangtai sighed and said self-deprecatingly, "I'm not an idiot. He's the boss of a big company. Does he need to be related to me?
He even added an order for me and treated me to a meal. It's obvious that he's up to something.
Your father has nothing to gain. Even if I gave him that broken factory of mine, he would think it's broken.
"You're the only one. He probably noticed something, and that's why he found you through me.
"Although I still don't quite understand, it's okay. You can just follow your own ideas.
"It's just a broken factory. If it closes down, so be it. It's a hundred thousand a year, and it's so tiring.
"Your mom and I can earn quite a bit in a year when we go out to work.
"Besides, now that you've graduated, Mom and Dad don't have any burdens. It won't be a problem to support yourself.
"Don't agree to anything just because of me.
"He says that he doesn't want anything else and that he's thinking for you. Whoever believes him is a fool.
"I suspect that the person he asked you to get in touch with might have a grudge against him. Being his secretary, if you let your mouth slip a little, you might get into big trouble.
"Although I'm just a small businessman, I've seen too many things. How can I not understand?
"Don't put yourself in danger just to earn that little bit of money. That would be too late for regrets. Fangfang, don't you think so?"
Qi Fangfang was originally feeling a little pressured. When she heard her father say this, she could not help but laugh. "Dad, I didn't expect you to see it so clearly.
"Actually, I'm just afraid that you and Mom will have some trouble on your side. Otherwise, I wouldn't be bothered with him.
"I already know what he's up to, and I don't want to bother with him.
"But he's pressuring you, and I'm afraid that you won't be able to take it. That's why you feel bad.
"Otherwise, I wouldn't bother with him if we changed places.
"So what if he's rich and powerful? I'm not afraid of him. At most, I'll go find my classmates and lose some face. I'll ask them for help. I'm not worried about him doing anything to me."
Qi Fangfang said this with some confidence.
There were six people in her dormitory, and two of them had powerful backgrounds.
One was the girlfriend of a rich man, and the other was the direct descendant of a large family. If Cheng Hui dared to do anything to her, she would go to Zhou Yue and the others for help.
Even if Zhou Yue did not help, Qin Yuhan would definitely help her.
Therefore, Qi Fangfang was not worried about herself, but her parents. She was afraid that they could not take the blow, and she was also afraid that they would be afraid. After all, Cheng Hui was not an ordinary person.
Now that her father understood, Qi Fangfang was not afraid to say it out loud.
Qi Guangtai did not care about anything else. His daughter had always been smart, so he was not surprised that she could see through it.
However, he was surprised that his daughter said that she was not afraid of Cheng Hui and asked her classmates for help.
In his eyes, Cheng Hui was a supreme figure.
Although he knew that the Capital University was a famous school and had produced many capable people, his daughter had just graduated. What kind of amazing classmates could she know?
She actually dared to say that she was not afraid of Cheng Hui. This time, Qi Guangtai could not help but quickly say, "Fangfang, what's the situation with your classmates? Tell me in detail. I'll be prepared so that I won't be trapped by Cheng Hui. "
