It turned out that the caller wasn't Zhao Yongjun, as Xia Ruofei thought, but Liu Zhe.
Liu Zhe could be considered a second-generation heir, and he was quite popular in Sanshan City. His father was the leader of the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. Last time, when the Taoyuan Company bought half of the property rights of Hengli Building, a small section chief of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission made things difficult for them. Liu Zhe helped to settle it.
In addition, Liu Zhe's personality was quite to Xia Ruofei's liking, so Xia Ruofei and Liu Zhe usually kept in touch. Occasionally, they would get together for a drink. Their personal relationship was quite good.
Liu Zhe on the other end of the phone seemed to be a little hesitant. He asked, "Brother Xia, are you free today? I have something to talk to you about … "
Xia Ruofei was stunned for a moment, then said, "Today … I'm afraid I don't have time. A few friends came to Sanshan City, and I need to receive them …"
Then Xia Ruofei smiled and asked, "Liu Zhe, what's the matter? Is it inconvenient to talk over the phone? "
"Oh … Brother Xia, wait a moment!" Liu Zhe said.
…
Not far from Ling Ji Private Kitchen, there was a Qinghe Teahouse. Liu Zhe was in a private room in the teahouse.
Other than him, there were three young people around his age.
One of them was slightly older, but in his early thirties. The other man and woman were both in their mid-twenties. The man was wearing a black motorcycle jacket, his hair was dyed yellow, and he wore silver earrings. The woman was also wearing Huang Mao, and her makeup was very thick. Especially her big red lips, which gave people a feeling of a big mouth. She looked quite delicate, but with such makeup, it was obvious that she was neither fish nor fowl.
After Liu Zhe heard Xia Ruofei's words, he covered the microphone and said to the only man in his early thirties, who was dressed normally, "Director Tian, Brother Xia said that he has a social engagement today. I'm afraid he doesn't have time …"
Liu Zhe was a little annoyed, but he had to pretend to be a snake in front of these three people.
All three of them were from the capital.
The man in his early thirties, who was called "Director Tian" by Liu Zhe, was Tian Xiaojun, a deputy director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Huaxia.
Although officials from the capital had a natural influence when they came to the local area, Tian Xiaojun was only a cadre at the level of a deputy department head. There was still a big gap between him and Liu Zhe's father.
Besides, a deputy department head in his early thirties might be a very prominent political star in the local area, but in the ministries and commissions, there were many people who were faster than him. Especially in the group system, there were countless cadre at the level of a department head in their thirties.
However, Tian Xiaojun was different. Not only was he a deputy department head in the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the Southeast Province, he was directly in charge of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the Southeast Province. His father was also a department head in the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development. He had been promoted from the Southeast Province and had once been Liu Zhe's father's superior.
Therefore, when Tian Xiaojun came to Sanshan and found Liu Zhe, he had to come forward to help.
As for the other man and woman, they were not from the government.
The man was from the same family as Xia Ruofei. His name was Xia Zhe, and he was only 24 years old. The girl with heavy makeup was Zhong Zixin.
Their situation was similar to Tian Xiaojun's. Their fathers were both department heads.
Although they did not tell Liu Zhe the details, Liu Zhe had already guessed that the three of them were probably going to the Taoyuan Company.
Therefore, when Tian Xiaojun came today, he asked about the Taoyuan Company, especially Xia Ruofei's situation. When Liu Zhe accidentally let it slip and they found out that Xia Ruofei had a good relationship with him, Tian Xiaojun immediately asked Liu Zhe to invite Xia Ruofei out.
Liu Zhe was quite well-informed in Sanshan. Xia Ruofei's Taoyuan Company was a new force to be reckoned with. The emergence of the Yuji Ointment almost made the Taoyuan Company famous all over the country. In many people's eyes, it was undoubtedly a piece of fat meat.
Within Sanshan, there were not many people who dared to have designs on the Taoyuan Company. This was because those who had the ability to do so basically knew that Xia Ruofei was backed by Song Wei. As for those who did not have the qualifications to know about this, basically, they could not do much.
However, the local snake did not dare to act rashly, while the local snake did not dare to act rashly.
When Tian Xiaojun heard that Xia Ruofei refused to meet, he could not help but frown and say, "Ask him where he is socializing! Let's go and join in the fun! Drinking is more interesting when there are more people … "
"Well …" Liu Zhe could not help but feel embarrassed.
Tian Xiaojun frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem? "
"I'll ask …" Liu Zhe said helplessly.
He did not want to offend Tian Xiaojun. At the same time, Xia Ruofei was still waiting on the other end of the phone, so he could not delay for too long.
After taking his hand down from the phone, Liu Zhe pretended to smile casually and asked, "Brother Xia, where are you socializing tonight? I'll come over and propose a toast! "
Xia Ruofei felt a little surprised. His refusal was already very obvious. Liu Zhe did not seem like such an insensible person!
He thought for a moment and felt that Liu Zhe might have something that he couldn't say. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "I'm hosting an important guest at Ling's Private Kitchen tonight. If your matter isn't urgent, can we talk about it in two days?"
It was obviously a little unreasonable to refuse directly, so Xia Ruofei still told Liu Zhe where he was going to treat tonight. At the same time, he also told him that the guests tonight were more important. This was actually a tactful refusal.
Liu Zhe smiled and said, "I got it. Thank you, Brother Xia!"
After hanging up the phone, Xia Ruofei saw that Zhao Yongjun had already replied with an "OK" emoji on WeChat.
Ling Qingxue stood at the door of the room and asked, "Ruofei, are you busy tonight?"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Nothing, a friend of mine is looking for me. I told him to talk about it in two days … Go to the kitchen and tell them! Brother Zhao and the others are already on the way. "
"Okay, then I'll go first." Ling Qingxue smiled at Xia Ruofei, then turned and walked out of the room.
…
At Qinghe Teahouse, Tian Xiaojun saw that Liu Zhe had hung up the phone and immediately asked, "Did he say where?"
Liu Zhe hesitated and said, "Director Tian, Brother Xia said that he was having a dinner with more important guests tonight. I'm afraid …"
"Just tell me the place!" Tian Xiaojun said impatiently, "Sanshan is such a small place. How important can there be?"
Zhong Zixin was also touching up her makeup with a small mirror and said with a sneer, "He's just the boss of a small company. I'm afraid that even a section chief is an important guest in his eyes!"
Xia Zhe also laughed unscrupulously when he heard that.
Liu Zhe was a little annoyed. Zhong Zixin and Xia Zhe were idiots. What did Tian Xiaojun have to look down on Sanshan? You left after finishing high school in Sanshan. If you didn't have a good father, how could you become the deputy section chief of a ministry at such a young age?
What's more, if you look down on a small place like the Three Mountains, then why did you all rush over here like cats that smelled blood after the Jade Skin Ointment became popular? Pretentious!
Liu Zhe naturally didn't dare to show his discontent. He could only say helplessly, "Brother Xia said that he's having dinner at Ling's Restaurant tonight …"
"Take us there!" Tian Xiaojun stood up and grabbed his handbag on the table as he said.
Tian Xiaojun was very decisive, and Liu Zhe had already given up on persuading him.
He had already told Tian Xiaojun that Xia Ruofei had a good relationship with Song Wei, but Tian Xiaojun didn't take it seriously.
If Xia Ruofei had a close relationship with Song Qiming, Tian Xiaojun would probably have some scruples. However, Song Wei was only Song Qiming's daughter. She could definitely take advantage of the situation, but when it came to Xia Ruofei, the same couldn't be said for sure.
At least Tian Xiaojun, who thought that he was a superior official in the capital, didn't care about this.
Therefore, Liu Zhe could only let him be. He was thinking about whether he could secretly report the situation to Xia Ruofei. First, Xia Ruofei would be prepared. Second, he could explain his difficulties so that Xia Ruofei wouldn't hold a grudge against him.
Therefore, after getting in the car, Liu Zhe, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, kept fiddling with his phone.
Tian Xiaojun just looked on coldly and didn't interfere.
He knew that Liu Zhe might report to Xia Ruofei, but he didn't care at all. In his opinion, letting Xia Ruofei know their identities in advance would be more beneficial for the upcoming "negotiation".
When it came to identity, it didn't seem to be as intimidating as when someone else said it.
Not only did Tian Xiaojun not interfere with Liu Zhe, but he also directly talked about the Taoyuan Company in the car.
He sat alone in the most comfortable seat in the middle row of the business car, while Zhong Zixin and Xia Zhe sat in the back seat obediently.
Tian Xiaojun said, "When we meet later, let Xiao Zhe be the leader. After all, I'm a member of the government, so it's not convenient for me to show up."
Xia Zhe smiled and said, "Understood! Master Tian, this kind of rich man probably hasn't seen much of the world. Don't be scared silly later … Haha! "
Zhong Zixin also said sweetly, "Didn't Master Tian say it already? We have to take the lead in terms of momentum. Although this rich man doesn't have much power, the things he makes are still good. A man's wealth is his own ruin! If we don't come, he won't be able to hold on for long … "
Tian Xiaojun nodded and said, "Zixin is right! As long as this goes well, we can give out some of our shares when we return to the capital, and then we can sit at home and make a lot of money! "
"Why should we give it out?" Xia Zhe asked.
Tian Xiaojun turned around and gave him a knock on the head and said, "Nonsense, do you think we can keep the shares with just the few of us? Don't you know how deep the water is in the capital? We are lucky this time that the few people in the circle didn't notice this small company. When the time comes, we can take the initiative to approach them and get some shares. Not only can we keep our way of making money, but we might also be able to sneak into that circle … "
Speaking of this, Tian Xiaojun couldn't help but show a trace of longing, and so did Xia Zhe and Zhong Zixin. Their faces were full of anticipation.
The circle of the top playboys, in the eyes of these little rich second generations, was like a holy land that people yearned for.
Tian Xiaojun and the others didn't know that the "rich man" they were going to "negotiate" with was someone who could be friends with the top playboys in the circle of the top playboys.
Tian Xiaojun and the others couldn't be blamed for not having enough information.
The circle of the capital was like this. If you were a member of this circle, then you would naturally know some news. However, people like Tian Xiaojun and the others who didn't have the qualifications to enter this circle had no access to information at all. Even if it was just a topic that Song Rui and the others talked about after dinner, for Tian Xiaojun and the others, it was very high-end information that was worth bragging about.
Qinghe Teahouse wasn't far from Ling's Restaurant, so Tian Xiaojun and the others arrived in a short while.
"This place is not bad!" Tian Xiaojun entered the door and looked around.
Zhong Zixin also smiled and said, "I didn't expect this rich man to be so good at picking a place! It seems that Sanshan isn't as backward as we thought! "
Liu Zhe couldn't help but curse in his heart, Backward your ass! Sanshan is the frontier of reform and opening up, okay?
"Welcome!" The hostess bowed slightly and asked, "Do you have a reservation?"
Tian Xiaojun turned slightly and looked at Liu Zhe.
Liu Zhe could only helplessly smile bitterly in his heart. He stepped forward and said, "We're here to look for Xia Ruofei, Boss Xia. I called him and found out that he's having a banquet here tonight. By the way, my name is Liu Zhe. "
The hostess immediately said, "Okay, please wait a moment."
After that, she walked to the front desk and picked up the walkie-talkie. She reported the situation to the waiter in the private room and asked him to ask for instructions from Xia Ruofei.
Zhong Zixin couldn't help but mutter, "The rules are quite strict!"
Tian Xiaojun looked at Zhong Zixin sternly and said, "Don't say strange things! Remember, we're here to talk business today. Although we have to be imposing, it's even better if we can make money peacefully! "
"Got it, Young Master Tian!" Zhong Zixin said indifferently.
The hostess quickly finished communicating with them. She walked over and said, "I've already confirmed with Boss Xia. Please follow me!"
Xia Ruofei naturally received Liu Zhe's WeChat message. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
However, in order to not make things difficult for Liu Zhe, he decided to meet these three hotheads who couldn't wait to fly over from Beijing to eat "Tang Seng's meat".
He understood the way these guys did things. Once they saw benefits, they would gather like sharks that smelled blood. Even if he avoided them today, they would still stick to him like sticky candy.
It was better to deal with them once and for all. Otherwise, these people might not be able to accomplish anything, but they would definitely cause trouble.
Xia Ruofei smiled at Ling Qingxue, who was making tea, and said, "In a while, my friend will bring a few people over to talk business. You don't have to say anything, I'll handle it …"
Ling Qingxue was stunned and asked, "Bad guests?"
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Not really! They're just a few hotheads. Let them fall a few times and they'll know how high the sky is. "
Ling Qingxue pursed her lips and smiled. She said, "Okay, I'll just watch the show …"
The two chatted for a while. Xia Ruofei heard footsteps coming from the courtyard outside. Soon, the door of the private room was gently knocked a few times.
Just as he was about to ask them to come in, the door was pushed open. Tian Xiaojun took the lead and walked in. Zhong Zixin and Xia Zhe stood on his left and right like loyal followers.
