There was not much to talk about along the way. The occasional conversation happened between Gao Wen and Li Fei, Zhuang Jixin and Xiao Shunming. Chen Hansheng sat alone in a row. He was quite bored.
Fortunately, the bus arrived at Shen Tong company not long after. Chen Hansheng found that Cheng Dejun really paid special attention to this. There were staff holding banners to welcome them more than 100 meters away from the company.
"Welcome to the experts for research!"
Downstairs of Shen Tong's company, there were fresh flowers, red carpet, LED displays, and even firecrackers to celebrate. All the fancy things had been arranged.
Cheng Dejun was wearing a decent suit, hiding his slightly fat middle-aged belly. He stood at the door to welcome them and shook hands with the experts and professors one by one.
Obviously, he had done a lot of preparation work. In short, he could accurately call out the name of each expert after they got off the bus. He could also talk about the "glorious deeds" of the experts.
For example, when he shook hands with Professor Sun, he said gratefully, "Thank you for coming in person at such an old age. However, the draft of the express delivery industry bill is inseparable from your review. Thank you for your hard work."
Professor Sun waved his hand politely. His white hair swayed with the shaking of his body. These movements showed the fragility of an old man.
Cheng Dejun saw that this was a good opportunity to get close to him. He stepped forward to support him. However, a figure walked over from behind.
Cheng Dejun thought to himself, "Which brother is so rude? You want to steal my flattery?" When he looked up, he saw that it was Chen Hansheng. Cheng Dejun's face showed a brief surprise.
"Hello, Chairman Cheng."
Chen Hansheng smiled and greeted.
Professor Sun still chose to let Chen Hansheng support him.
On one hand, Cheng Dejun was the chairman of the company. He was originally here to do research. He needed to maintain a certain distance and maintain a fair attitude.
On the other hand, although Chen Hansheng was a ruffian, he was Xiao Rongyu's boyfriend. Recently, he often cooked at home. They were more familiar with each other. He was more like a junior.
Cheng Dejun hid his embarrassment and pretended not to care. He asked the others, "That college student just now, what's his relationship with Professor Sun?"
"He should be a graduate student from Eastern University. Professor Sun brought him here to study."
Some experts said disapprovingly, "This is normal. I also brought a graduate student here."
Cheng Dejun thought to himself that something was not right. Chen Hansheng was clearly from the Finance Department. The Rocket 101 had made its fortune from the Jianye Finance School.
In the end, Zhuang Jixin, a second-year graduate student from Jianye Normal University, explained, "Junior Brother Chen is not Professor Sun's student, but he should be a relative or something."
"Relatives?"
This word made Cheng Dejun's head light up, because when Chen Hansheng was supporting Professor Sun just now, he said, "Old lady, are you dizzy? Do you want to rest first?"
This kind of address was indeed possible.
"Lei."
Cheng Dejun called Zhou Lei, his cousin and vice president, over. "After the research meeting starts, you can find out the relationship between Chen Hansheng and Professor Sun. I think they might be relatives."
Zhou Lei did not understand. "What does it matter if they're relatives or not?"
"Do you have a pig's head? I told you to watch the news all day long."
Cheng Dejun scolded in a low voice. "If the express logistics industry wants to further expand, it must rely on the support of the policy. Professor Sun's interpersonal relationships in this line are very deep. If she wants to stand up for her family's juniors, it's okay for us to compromise with Rocket 101. In short, the focus of Shentong now is not the college student market."
"Got it."
Zhou Lei loosened his tie. "Damn, I was wondering how a college student could make Rocket 101 into such a scale and even poach Kong Jing. It turns out that he has the support of his elders."
"Remember to be polite and pay attention to the way you do it. It's best to make a clever inquiry."
Cheng Dejun reminded him and then walked to the conference room.
Zhou Lei and Zhong Jiancheng were more similar. They were social hooligans who did not study. In the past, they helped Cheng Dejun to gain a foothold in the express delivery industry with their fists. Later, with the change of policy, they gradually changed their image.
"Inquiry" was not a problem. He could just ask Chen Hansheng to go out and ask, but "clever inquiry" was a bit difficult.
He also felt embarrassed to ask Cheng Dejun again. Thus, he found Lu Yonghong, who was the general manager's office. "Cousin, I need you to give me an idea."
"What is it?" Lu Yonghong asked.
Zhou Lei told her the problem, including Cheng Dejun's instruction about "clever inquiry".
"Hey, I thought it was a difficult problem."
Lu Yonghong had rich life experience. "You can use the excuse of arranging dinner and directly ask Professor Sun what she likes and what she doesn't eat. If Chen Hansheng is her relative, he will definitely know a bit. After that, you can dig deeper."
… …
The process of the research activity was fixed. The table of the participating experts was placed with a company introduction. Shentong would send a high-level leader to explain the development process of the company and the problems encountered. The leader would also ask his own questions about these problems.
As for the experts, they would give an explanation for the clear legal regulations. If it was ambiguous or not recorded, the research experts would record it down. This was the content that needed to be standardized.
Sun Biyu and the others sat in the front row. Chen Hansheng, Gao Wen, Zhuang Jixin, and the other "top students" all sat in the back row. This was also a way to increase their knowledge.
However, Chen Hansheng already knew the development trend of the express delivery industry. Moreover, his purpose was not to participate in the research, so he was not as focused as the other students. He sat on the chair with his legs crossed. The mineral water on the table had been finished. He was playing with the plastic mineral water bottle in his hand. From time to time, he would pinch it until it made a "creak, creak" sound.
Gao Wen shook her head. This kind of guy wants to watch a movie with Xiao Rongyu? Everything is possible in his dream.
"Hey, let's go out for a smoke."
Zhou Lei suddenly walked over and patted Chen Hansheng's shoulder.
Chen Hansheng did not expect Zhou Lei to take the initiative to look for him. Coincidentally, he could not stand it anymore and followed him to the hall outside.
In fact, the two of them did not have much to talk about. They just smoked separately and looked at the scenery outside through the window. The weather in Hu City and Jianye was very similar. In the winter afternoon, there was often a little mist, which looked cold and bleak.
"Mr. Zhou, why are you looking for me?"
Chen Hansheng finished a cigarette and flicked the cigarette butt away.
"You are very direct."
Zhou Lei exhaled a long puff of smoke. "We want to ask Professor Sun what he likes for dinner later. It is convenient for you to arrange."
Chen Hansheng thought for a while. "The old lady doesn't like fish and meat. These days, she has been eating millet porridge. At most, she will have a plate of glutinous rice cake and chestnut cake. You don't have to trouble yourself in the evening. She probably won't participate in the social activities. I will help her settle it."
"The old lady?"
Zhou Lei caught this key word. Then he heard Chen Hansheng say this, so he asked, "How do you know she likes to eat these?"
"Of course I know."
Chen Hansheng smiled. "I have been cooking the old lady's meals recently. Don't you think I know?"
Zhou Lei replied with a "hmm" and continued to ask, "Professor Sun, do you have any other requirements?"
"The old lady is not used to sleeping on a soft bed. This is a habit left behind by the educated youth. Remember to ask the hotel to change the soft bed to a hard board. It would be best if it is as hard as her bed board."
Chen Hansheng thought of a small matter again.
"Oh."
Zhou Lei did not ask anymore. Chen Hansheng was not Professor Sun's student, and it was impossible for him to be Professor Sun's nanny. But since he could cook for Professor Sun, he might be a very close junior.
"Then I will go and arrange for the bed board to be changed."
Zhou Lei said and left first.
Chen Hansheng thought that Shen Tong was quite considerate. Respect the old and love the young.
… …
Zhou Lei immediately reported to Cheng Dejun after he found out the details. In the end, he concluded, "They are indeed relatives. Not only did he cook for them, but he also knows that her bed board is hard."
"Don't be in a hurry, I will ask again."
Cheng Dejun walked to Sun Biyu during the break in the research meeting. "Professor Sun, what do you want to eat tonight?"
"No need, I will not participate in the social activities."
As expected, Professor Sun refused to participate in the social activities. "I will go back to the hotel to have a bowl of millet porridge and some pastries. I will ask Chen Hansheng to buy them for me."
Zhou Lei and Cheng Dejun took a look at each other.
Cheng Dejun continued to persuade, "That is not good, it is not easy for you to come here, I should express my respect."
"You are welcome, Chairman Cheng."
Professor Sun insisted on not participating in the social activities. Cheng Dejun said a few more polite words and suddenly changed the topic, "Regarding Chen Hansheng's Rocket 101, do you have any instructions?"
"Instructions?"
Professor Sun went into a daze for a moment. What does Rocket 101 have to do with me? She shook her head and said, "For the specific details, you should ask Hansheng and listen to his request. I don't know much about it."
Cheng Dejun left the meeting room with Zhou Lei.
"The standard answer!"
Zhou Lei did not even have time to stand still and began to comment, "Brother Jun, this answer is the standard answer. Now I understand that the so-called respected old professor is all a hypocrite. She deliberately did not express her attitude and pretended to be virtuous. Instead, she asked us to specifically ask Chen Hansheng's request. "
Cheng Dejun frowned and smoked, "Professor Sun is actually the great benefactor of the entire express delivery and logistics industry. It's not too much to help her juniors. Originally, Liu Zhizhou's idea was to acquire the whole Rocket 101, including Chen Hansheng, and let him develop the university market under Shen Tong's system. But now, it's acceptable to change to a cooperation method. It's just that there will be some small troubles in the future."
"What trouble can there be?"
Zhou Lei said disdainfully, "Rocket 101 does not have a transportation foundation. If Shentong does not provide transportation services, Chen Hansheng can only look at the piles of packages."
"Rocket 101 does not have it, but Yuantong does, and so does Zhongtong."
Cheng Dejun said, "If Rocket 101 develops and suddenly enters the arms of other express companies, then we will cultivate another ungrateful person."
"How dare he!"
Zhou Lei spat, "I will smash his store."
"At that time, Rocket 101 will have stores in every university. Can you smash all of them?"
Cheng Dejun pointed at his own head, "Xiao Lei, you are not young anymore. You can't always use your fists to solve problems. When we cooperate, we can sign a binding clause. It will be fine as long as Rocket 101 cannot leave Shentong. At most, we will give you a small discount on the commission. However, we will still make a profit."
