Chapter 191: Learn to Cherish the People in Front of You
At 3:20 in the afternoon, Chen Jianghe took a taxi back to the Light Chaser base.
In mid-July in eastern Guangdong, it was a sauna-like day with high temperature and high humidity. People walking outside felt like they were in a steamer. Even breathing felt burning. In a short while, the waistband of their pants became wet, sticky and uncomfortable.
At this time, in the bright and ventilated office area on the first floor, Lin Siqi was half lying comfortably on Chen Jianghe's boss chair, with several high-power fans buzzing.
The young secretary stretched out her long legs and leisurely placed them on the fixed board under the desk, holding a small piece of ice watermelon in her arms, taking a bite from time to time. Next to her was a middle-aged man in his early forties, of medium height and slightly plump, who was massaging her shoulders and back.
This middle-aged man is Lin Siqi’s father, Lin Zheping.
Lin Zheping is a daughter slave, but he is also a great man who made his fortune from scratch.
In 1986, he went to Shenzhen alone with 300 yuan of travel expenses raised by the village. He started by collecting waste from the streets. After making his first fortune, he immediately opened a waste station. He successfully seized the development opportunities, cooperated with a state-owned precious metals company, and made a fortune.
In the late 1990s, under the guidance of an expert, Lin Zheping turned to real estate. In just a few years, his wealth skyrocketed and his career continued to advance.
He has been in the business world for more than ten years, married four times, and has more than 20 lovers in major provinces across the country, but he has only one daughter, Lin Siqi.
"Oh my goodness, who is the daddy?"
Before Chen Jianghe entered the room, he was stunned for a moment when he saw Uncle Lin massaging Lin Siqi's back.
"Boss, you're back!"
Lin Siqi heard footsteps at the door and suddenly looked back. When he saw Chen Jianghe, his eyes, which had been slightly narrowed, suddenly widened and his face was full of joy.
"Yeah, I'm back."
Chen Jianghe smiled brightly.
Lin Siqi immediately stood up, put the watermelon in his hand on the desk, and ran towards him without even having time to put on his shoes.
Chen Jianghe opened his arms to catch her, but the secretary stepped on the brakes just in time. She stopped with her chest just touching him, tiptoed close to his ear, and said with a smile, "Dad is here. Don't hold him yet. Wait until he leaves."
"Naughty." Chen Jianghe reached out and pinched the secretary's cheek lovingly, then raised his eyes and saw Uncle Lin looking at him with envy.
Chen Jianghe looked at him, stepped forward, and greeted him with a smile: "Hello Uncle Lin, I am Chen Jianghe."
"No need for introductions. I've been repeating your name Siqi so many times that my ears are almost covered with calluses."
Lin Zheping looked at Chen Jianghe carefully for a few times, and said with a warm smile: "You are a handsome young man. No wonder my daughter is so eager to be your secretary."
Chen Jianghe raised his eyebrows. The word "pidianpidian" was really vivid. However, he just listened to it, neither explaining nor directly clarifying the relationship. In the eyes of real bosses, the status of a secretary is self-evident.
"This guy is more experienced and mature than I thought." A thought flashed through Lin Zheping's mind. He looked at him deeply and smiled as he got to the point: "What's the current situation of your takeaway group purchase project?"
Just as Chen Jianghe was about to answer, he saw Lin Siqi taking out iced cola and mineral water from the refrigerator and said to his father quietly, "Dad, don't ask so many questions. My boss just came back from another place and he hasn't even had a sip of water yet."
"Oh, what about me?" Lin Zheping smiled and asked a little humbly.
Lin Siqi raised his hand and handed him the bottle of mineral water, smiling and saying, "Dad, you have strong hands, help me unscrew the bottle cap."
Lin Zheping was a little dumbfounded. This is the darling little baby that I hold in my hands for fear of dropping it and hold in my mouth for fear of it melting?
"I have strong hands, so leave the rough work like unscrewing the bottle cap to me."
No matter how thick-skinned Chen Jianghe was, he didn't have the face to let his father-in-law, who was visiting for the first time, unscrew the bottle cap for him. He quickly reached out to take the bottle of mineral water in Lin Siqi's hand, opened it, gulped down a few gulps, and felt refreshed.
"I'm in a bit of trouble right now."
After drinking the water, Chen Jianghe wiped the corners of his mouth and roughly told Lin Zheping about the current situation of the Light Chaser.
Lin Zheping listened to Chen Jianghe's story patiently and said with a smile: "I am not familiar with Hongyan Capital, but I often go to Penguin Group. The person in charge of Penguin's strategic investment department is a very visionary and extremely shrewd person. Even he wants to recruit you, which shows that you are indeed very good."
"I'll find some brothers, set up a table at the White Swan Hotel, and hold a meeting to help you solve your funding problem." Lin Zheping stated directly without any beating around the bush.
"That's so embarrassing."
Chen Jianghe smiled and scratched his head . Meetings were one of the main ways for families and fellow villagers in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places to help each other and raise funds. The famous Wenzhou real estate speculation group and Putian group basically gathered together through meetings, worked together, pooled their wisdom and strength, overcame difficulties together, and achieved common prosperity.
"If you really feel embarrassed, just be nicer to Siqi."
Lin Zheping patted Chen Jianghe on the shoulder and said seriously, "I only have this one daughter. If you dare to bully her, I will not forgive you."
Chen Jianghe nodded and said seriously, "Siqi has been with me for so long, helped me do a lot of things, and is very tolerant of me. I have a bad temper and many faults, but my only advantage is that I know how to be grateful."
“It’s not enough to just be grateful, you have to learn to cherish the people around you.”
Lin Zheping said meaningfully, turning to look at his daughter, and said nothing more; "I'm going to meet some friends in eastern Guangdong first, and contact fellow villagers to see when are free and arrange to have dinner together."
"OK."
Chen Jianghe nodded in agreement, and together with Lin Siqi, he saw him out.
As soon as Lin Zheping left, Lin Siqi jumped into Chen Jianghe's arms like a rabbit.
"It's been so long since we last met. I missed you so much."
Lin Siqi rubbed and kissed Chen Jianghe in his arms, like a clingy little kitten.
Chen Jianghe touched her long hair and asked with a smile: "I'm sweating all over, don't you mind?"
"I don't mind, not at all." Lin Siqi shook her head and smiled sweetly.
Chen Jianghe looked down at her, thought for a moment, and said, "I suddenly remembered a secret book called 'Awei's Eighteen Moves'. Every move recorded in it is very powerful. Let's go upstairs and take a shower, and I'll practice it with you."
"Hmm?" Lin Siqi raised his eyebrows and asked knowingly, "Are there so many eighteen styles?"
"Yes, they are all secret techniques." Chen Jianghe nodded and asked, "Are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid." Lin Siqi coquettishly hugged his neck and whispered in his ear: "I've been getting up early to practice yoga recently, and my body flexibility has improved a lot."
When Chen Jianghe heard this, he felt dizzy all of a sudden. He hugged the secretary tightly with both hands and ran to the stairs: "Go upstairs and take a shower!"
