"Where are you, Tong Huan?"
"I'm at the company. What's up?"
Lu Yiwei went straight to the point. "Come with me to Beijing for some private business."
Tong Huan said without hesitation. "Okay. I'll pick you up."
"No need. I'm already on my way to the airport. We'll meet there in half an hour. Book a flight and consider changing to another vehicle if you don't have one. "
"Okay."
After hanging up, Lu Yiwei closed his eyes and thought about it carefully. Zhang Zhiyuan had repeatedly told him not to let outsiders know, but he felt it was inappropriate for him to show up. After all, Tong Huan was a woman. His sudden appearance could easily cause misunderstandings.
In his eyes, Tong Huan was not an outsider. They had met at the wine table and almost became his wife. Now, their relationship had gone beyond ordinary friendship. They were more like family. If she hadn't met me, perhaps she would be living a different way now, living a carefree life as someone's mistress. After leaving Ding Changhua, she had completely changed. Her business potential had been stimulated. It could be said that she was living for herself now.
The only regret was that she could not have children. It was a big blow to a woman. Fortunately, Pan Chengjun did not care about her past. They had been married for three to four years and treated each other with respect. It was obvious that Pan Chengjun loved her.
Five minutes later, Tong Huan called. "Yiwei, the flight tickets are booked. 12: 10, first class."
"Oh. Is there no earlier?"
"That's all. I only managed to book it through my connections."
"Okay."
"It's still early. Why don't you come to my place? Old Pan is also here. We can discuss setting up a subsidiary company. "
Lu Yiwei looked at his watch. "Okay. I'll be right there."
After hanging up, Lu Yiwei signaled Hu Peng to go to Dezhi Road and Bridge Company. He was thinking about how to apply for leave. It was feasible to apply for leave from Bao Shuming. But how should he answer if Bai Zongfeng asked? Asking for leave at this critical juncture was akin to asking for a gun muzzle. Moreover, the Hundred-Day Oath-Pledging Assembly was to be held the day after tomorrow. Things just had to happen at the same time. Compared to work, Guo Jinzhu's matter was more urgent. After making up his mind, he dialed Bao Shuming's number.
"Secretary-General Bao, I would like to take three days off."
Bao Shuming asked in bewilderment, "Why are you asking for leave? Don't you know that there will be a meeting in two days?"
Lu Yiwei braced himself and said, "I know, but something unexpected happened at home. I had no choice …"
"Oh, does Secretary Bai know?"
"I didn't tell him."
After a moment of silence, Bao Shuming said, "Logically speaking, I should approve it, but the situation is special now. You'd better talk to Secretary Bai personally. We were just talking about the meeting just now. I was going to ask you to check the relevant documents and make a speech. Now that you're gone … "
"Okay, I'll talk to Secretary Bai."
After the other hung up, Lu Yiwei thought for a long time. In the end, he decided to send a text message to ask for leave. After struggling for a while, he gritted his teeth and sent the message. He didn't expect Bai Zongfeng to reply so quickly with only one word, "Yes." Since he was so straightforward, did he know what I was going to do?
While we were talking, we arrived at Dezhi Road and Bridge Company. Pan Chengjun was already waiting at the entrance. After the car stopped, he immediately came to open the door and said with a smile, "Welcome, Secretary-General Lu, to our work."
Lu Yiwei looked at him and said with a smile, "You have a glib tongue. You do the same thing to me."
"Haha, you're a leader after all."
Before getting out of the car, I said to Hu Peng, "You should go back first. If someone asks, just say that I'm going back to my hometown."
After Hu Peng left, Lu Yiwei vigilantly observed the surroundings. After confirming that there was no one around, he quickly entered the building.
Under the joint management of Tong Huan and Pan Chengjun, the Dezhi Company's business had become bigger and bigger. It had long since surpassed the market valuation. Especially after the construction of the Ring Expressway and the Cross River Bridge, they had made a lot of money. They bought the current high-rise hotel and changed it into the Dezhi Building. Many people didn't understand why the company had such an old-fashioned name. Some busybodies even advised them to change the name. Tong Huan smiled faintly and ignored them. Only a few people knew the meaning behind the word "Dezhi".
To avoid arousing suspicion, Lu Yiwei rarely came here. In total, he hadn't been here more than ten times. Every time he came, there would be a change. This time, the change was huge. The entire building had been renovated. It was magnificent and had a modern feel. Pan Chengjun smiled and said, "This summer, we spent several million to renovate it. We changed the office into an open space. Tong Huan said that we want to be like a modern company. Moreover, he has set up the company's core cultural values. It's called 'Achieving the Dao, Aspiring to a Thousand Miles'. What do you think?"
Lu Yiwei nodded. "These eight words are very ingenious. Achieving the Dao isn't just the Dao of Benevolence, the Dao of Heart, but also the Dao of Humanity and the Dao of Wisdom. If Uncle Xu hadn't left us this precious treasure, Dezhi wouldn't have become what it is today, right?"
Pan Chengjun added, "Because of this, the company doesn't have a chairman. Uncle Xu is the real head of the company. Moreover, we visit his grave every year during the Qingming Festival to pass on his last wish. Not only do we want to sponsor more students, but we also want to build more schools for Dezhi. "
Lu Yiwei was gratified. It seemed that his decision was correct. He sighed and said, "Speaking of that, it's been a long time since I went back to visit him."
"I know you're busy with work. I'll tell him every time I go back. I'm sure he'll understand."
"Let's hope so."
When the elevator door opened, Tong Huan stood at the entrance and stretched out her hand with a smile. "Welcome, Mr. Lu."
Lu Yiwei was stunned before he rolled his eyes. "Did the two of you pester me? What guidance? I'll leave if you continue like this."
Tong Huan covered her mouth and giggled. She gestured, "It wasn't easy for us to invite you here, and you want to leave? Impossible, haha. "
After years of experience, Tong Huan had transformed from a depressed and weak woman into a strong woman in the workplace. Her eyes were filled with confidence and stubbornness, and she exuded a unique charm of a mature woman. With her fluffy and playful short hair and her light and elegant makeup, she looked even more beautiful with her delicate facial features. Furthermore, she was a dancer, and her movements were as graceful as a dance, giving others a comfortable sense of beauty. Furthermore, her taste in clothes was getting better and more international. She was fashionable yet elegant, charming yet dignified. She maintained the mystery of a woman, making others want to pry into her inner secrets.
