Chapter 309 How can you gain favor without being knowledgeable and talented?
Young people nowadays have a lot of fun.
Although Ding Dehong and Pei Rou have been in officialdom for many years, both of them are experienced and savvy. They just thought that Li Xingruo wanted to test Liang Fei more.
In fact, this is right. After all, it is difficult for a young and wealthy man to settle down at Liang Fei's age. It would be more helpful to spend more time observing and be responsible for yourself.
Ding Dehong and Pei Rou regarded Li Xingruo as their emotional support, hoping to make up for the loss of their daughter who passed away early from her. After spending some time together, the couple, like all the employees of Lightyear Technology and Rose Book team, felt full of joy for Li Xingruo.
After all, who can not love Li Jiang?
So now at the dinner table, the couple chatted more casually and would bring up some topics in front of Li Xingruo.
This shows that they no longer regard Li Xingruo as a tool, but have subconsciously regarded her as a part of this family.
"Yesterday the district held a commendation meeting for entrepreneurs. I went there on behalf of the municipal party committee. You still remember the annual competition of Sui Sui Nian Nian Jewelry. This CEO is very capable in both conduct and work. However, he particularly likes to show off his daughter."
Ding Dehong brought this up as a funny thing at the dinner table: "My daughter was admitted to the graduate school of Mingda University and she also opened her own online store. The turnover in the first quarter was so-and-so. The family doesn't have to worry about it at all. He also squeezed Mr. Xu of Tiancheng Gold, saying in a sarcastic tone, "Hey, Mr. Xu, I heard that your daughter was admitted to a university in the UK. How much did you donate this time? You know that these two have always been at odds with each other."
Pei Rou smiled softly after hearing this. Children were no longer a taboo topic in their family. "By the way, what is Mr. Nian's daughter like? Is she really as pretty as Diao Chan and as talented as Li Qingzhao?"
“No.”
Ding Dehong suddenly remembered and asked Li Xingruo with a smile: "Xingruo, do you know a girl named Nian Huaishi? It seems that she was the president of the Student Union of your Mingda University."
Li Xingruo put a piece of rice into her mouth and nodded slightly: "I know her, she's very pretty and very popular in school."
"It seems that Mr. Nian is not bragging." Ding Dehong said with a smile, "But if you ask me, our Xing Ruo is too low-key. If she is more cheerful and lively, she will definitely be more popular than that little girl Nian."
"Why do you need to be so popular?"
Pei Rou continued, "There aren't many kids like Xing Ruo who are so dedicated to researching technology and doing well in academics."
Li Xingruo pursed her lips and lowered her head slightly: "Teacher Pei, I may not be able to compare with Nian Huaishi."
Pei Rou disagreed with this statement: "You two are two opposite types, one is extroverted and the other is introverted. Don't underestimate yourself and believe that you are the best. Do you understand? Girls must be confident."
"You are so timid, be careful that Liang Fei may bully you in the future." Pei Rou joked.
Li Xingruo scratched her hair, feeling a little embarrassed.
If Liang Fei heard this, she would definitely think that what Pei Rou said was not particularly right. If Nian Gao didn't obey her, wouldn't he still be bullied by her?
…
Lightyear Technology
Liang Fei stretched his waist in the office and said with emotion: "Summer vacation is finally here. To be honest, even for me, I have to take care of the heavy academic workload at Minghai University and keep an eye on the development of the company. The burden is very heavy."
Several middle-level managers who were called to the meeting looked at each other, especially Sao Ming and Yang Zhicheng, who looked at each other, lowered their heads and couldn't help muttering.
"What the hell, when did he learn it?"
"Since starting his business, has Mr. Liang ever seen the sun at eight o'clock tomorrow?"
"Ah Xian usually helps with my homework."
Liang Fei turned around and asked Sao Ming and Yang Zhicheng curiously, "What are you two discussing?"
Sao Ming explained hurriedly, "Boss Liang, Director Yang and I are discussing the expansion. Ever since League of Legends became popular, the popularity of the anchors in the gaming area has greatly increased. Especially after a new batch of e-sports players moved in, our traffic has reached a peak. Their popularity is showing a tendency to surpass that of the dance area."
“So I think that expansion is imminent.”
"Yes, very good." Liang Fei nodded slightly, "This is a good thing for our company. The competition can enter the preparation stage. Who will report the progress first?"
"Mr. Liang, I'll go first."
After a short meeting, Liang Fei's cell phone on the table vibrated. He picked it up, looked at the caller ID, and waved to his subordinates to leave first.
Sao Ming and Yang Zhicheng were still sitting on the sofa, lighting cigarettes for each other and puffing away.
When Mr. Liang receives a private call, the two of them don't have to avoid it. This is probably a reflection of the confidant's status in the company.
"Hello, uncle?"
"Hey, Mr. Liang, are you busy?"
"Look at how distant uncle is. No matter how busy I am, can I not answer your call? No matter how busy I am, you want me to come over now, can I not come?"
"Hahahaha, good boy, then come over now and I'll send you the address."
“…”
Throwing the phone on the table, Liang Fei rolled his eyes and said, "You old man are not polite at all. If I wasn't greedy for your daughter, would I, the great Liang, be ordered around by you like this?"
Sao Ming asked curiously: "Xiao Feifei, whose father is this?"
"Nian Gao." Liang Fei crossed his legs and muttered to himself, "Why did our president Nian suddenly call me? This is the first time he suddenly called me during work hours."
Sao Ming glanced at the tightly closed door, then asked with relief: "Could it be that Nian Gao's father knows about your relationship with other girls?"
"Crow's Mouth."
Liang Fei glared at Sao Ming: "Strictly speaking, Nian Gao and I are just friends now."
Yang Zhicheng lowered his head: "What a jerk."
Liang Fei looked at Yang Zhicheng: "What did you say?"
Yang Zhicheng immediately changed his words: "I said Mr. Liang is really rigorous."
Liang Fei was shaking her car keys as she prepared to go meet Nian Zheng. Before leaving, she turned around and said to Yang Zhicheng and Sao Ming, "Do you know why I am so successful?"
Yang Zhicheng and Sao Ming shook their heads.
"Because I'm not afraid of death."
After saying that, he walked away humming a song. He met Wang Xiaoxiao in the corridor and patted her buttocks when no one was paying attention.
Sao Ming was silent for a while in the office, then he looked at Yang Zhicheng and asked seriously, "Old Yang, from your perspective as an outsider, if I am not afraid of death like Xiao Feifei, then what is the chance that Xin Chu and I can get back together?"
"What did you say?!" Yang Zhicheng was a little scared. "Sao Ming, I know you are very brave, but people should know themselves. You can't just follow Liang Fei's coquettishness and become coquettish. Don't have the illusion that you can do the same as him."
Saoming thought about it and felt that what Lao Yang said made sense, but he still wanted to give it a try.
Liang Fei came to a high-end teahouse according to the address given by Nian Zheng. It was located in an antique Jiangnan courtyard with white bricks and black tiles in the suburbs . There was even a large pond in the yard, and fat koi could be seen swimming back and forth in the water.
It is obvious that this place adopts a membership system. Even if Liang Fei was seen driving a Lamborghini, a beautiful waitress in cheongsam would smile and ask Liang Fei's name.
Liang Fei glanced at the waitress's smooth thighs under her cheongsam and said, "I am Mr. Nian's guest."
"Okay sir, please follow me." The waiter smiled sweetly.
Liang Fei knew that some of the second generation who claimed to be talented and romantic were ashamed to associate with their peers who hung out in nightclubs, and they disdained to go clubbing. They just loved to look for prey in such pretentious places. In their opinion, these waiters who had received rigorous training and treated people in a gentlemanly manner were the best.
This principle is similar to the sales of luxury cars.
Led by the waiter into the private room, Liang Fei took a look and saw that not only was Nian Zheng there, but there were also several middle-aged men who also looked rich, and of course, women were also indispensable.
I don’t know how many of them are principal wives and how many are concubines.
"Liang Fei, come and sit down."
Seeing Liang Fei coming, Nian Zheng pulled him to sit down with a smile on his face: "Oh, I told you not to worry, it's such a long way, how come you only got here in half an hour?"
Liang Fei said modestly: "Uncle, I drive a Lamborghini."
"The one that is limited to the whole world?"
"right."
"very good."
“…”
I'm showing off, why are you showing off? You're making me feel like my pretense is meaningless.
Nian Zheng enthusiastically introduced Liang Fei to his friends: "Hello, bosses, let me introduce you. This is my daughter's junior, Liang Fei. The two children have been having some trouble recently. As an elder, it is not convenient for me to intervene. Let them be."
"Xiao Liang, this is Mr. Xu from Tiancheng Gold."
"This is Mr. Zhao from Lingyue Real Estate."
"This is..."
Liang Fei greeted them one by one. These people were all engaged in business and were not of much help to Liang Fei. Moreover, they were much younger than him, so it was obviously impossible to make real friends with them.
What does the old man call me here for?
Could it be that he wanted to show off to his friends that he had a good son-in-law?
Mr. Xu from Tiancheng Gold looked Fan Liangfei up and down, then pushed his glasses up and said, "No wonder Mr. Nian hasn't mentioned his daughter much in recent years. It turns out that his son-in-law is more promising than his daughter."
"But if you ask me, the Internet industry is too risky and full of water. It relies on venture capital. Besides..."
Mr. Xu became too lazy to continue talking because he realized that Nian Zheng and Liang Fei were not listening to him at all.
Liang Fei was helping Nian Zheng to roast a cigar like a lackey, and after lighting it, he handed it to him with both hands.
Nian Zheng naturally took the cigar and took a sip. He said to Liang Fei earnestly, "You can try cigars in the future. You should smoke less. Your health is important."
"I understand, uncle." Liang Fei humbly accepted the advice.
The older generation of businessmen who started from scratch, especially those who are young, are actually very afraid that there will be no successors. From a probability perspective, it is common that the second generation is far less talented than the first generation, and it is extremely rare for the second generation to have a promising future. It is already a blessing to be able to maintain the success.
They are also reluctant to hire professional managers, as they always feel that the business they have worked hard for must be passed on to future generations, otherwise it would be meaningless.
For those who have daughters, choosing a son-in-law becomes a very crucial choice.
It’s a good choice, but it seems like it’s all in vain?
"Although Xiaoliang is in the Internet industry, he has mentioned before that the future is the era of big data, and no matter what industry it is, it cannot be separated from the support of the Internet. So I think that even if our Nian Gao takes over the company in the future, Xiaoliang will be able to give great support."
Nian Zheng finally started to show off: "Well, how should I put it? From now on, the world will belong to the young. I think that as a Chinese, you should find a Chinese son-in-law. What's the point of looking for a foreign aristocrat? Hey, Mr. Xu..."
"I have something else to do. I'm leaving now."
Mr. Xu put down his cigar, and without saying a word, he led his female companion away. Judging from his expression, it seemed that he was looking for a place to relieve his sexual desire.
As soon as Mr. Xu left, Mr. Zhao, the real estate boss, also spoke up: "Brothers, I'm afraid that my child won't learn well and bring me a foreigner, so I've never sent her abroad. Look at that troublesome guy in the Xu family, who keeps saying that he's a descendant of an aristocracy. Pah, he's just a liar."
Liang Fei asked with a smile: "Uncle and Mr. Xu don't have a good relationship?"
Nian Zheng snorted coldly and stopped pretending: "We are all in the same business, it's hard to say it's serious, we can only say that we are enemies. Old boy, I was thinking about your Aunt Zheng at the beginning."
"My Aunt Zheng... "
Liang Fei laughed dryly: "Well, Aunt Zheng is still very charming."
Nian Zheng took a puff of his cigar and asked slowly, "Has your relationship with Nian Gao improved recently?"
Upon hearing this, Liang Fei sighed: "It's still the same, but better than before, uncle, I'm still working hard."
"You can't do that either."
Nian Zheng complained, "I originally thought you were popular with girls, but I didn't expect you to be like this."
Liang Fei hung his head in frustration: "Actually, many people have this misunderstanding, thinking that handsome men are all playboys. Uncle, you should also understand this. In fact, handsome and talented men like us are the most likely to fall in love."
Nian Zheng laughed loudly: "Yeah, yeah, you're right. I was like you back then, young and promising, but I just couldn't figure out women. It's still the same now."
Liang Fei sighed: "Uncle understands me."
Mr. Zhao from Lingyue Real Estate also stood up and said, "Well, old man, I'm leaving first. You two can chat slowly."
"Leaving now?"
Nian Zheng stood up and tried to persuade him to stay: "Sit a little longer, sit a little longer, let's talk a little more about the Internet, your real estate, um... forget it, you can leave now."
"You kid." Mr. Zhao obviously had a very good personal relationship with Nian Zheng. After scolding him with a smile, he led his female companion out of the private room.
It takes someone to show off, but now that everyone has left, Nian Zheng is too lazy to stay any longer: "Xiao Liang, are you free to have a couple of drinks at noon? Let's go find some rice cakes together."
Liang Fei secretly cried out that this was not good. Now Nian Gao and Shi Shi were inseparable all the time. If she brought Nian Zheng to his house, what would Shi Shi think? She would be so jealous that she would go to the hospital to have her stomach washed.
Besides, Xu Ruting now runs to Shi Yu Shi all the time. With Nian Zheng's personality, if she calls them relatives as soon as they meet, Liang Fei will have no choice but to die easily.
Thinking of this, Liang Fei immediately showed that she was concerned about Nian Gao: "Uncle, let's just have a drink together. Nian Gao is busy with her online store recently and can't get away. Let's not disturb her. After all, women who run businesses have bad tempers."
Nian Zheng might have thought of Lin Jingxin, and he agreed with this: "That's right, okay, let's get together again some other day when Nian Gao comes home."
Having escaped the danger, Liang Fei breathed a sigh of relief.
While walking to the parking lot with Nian Zheng, Liang Fei received a call from Pei Rou.
"Mr. Liang, please come to my office when you have time." After saying that, he hung up the phone without saying anything specific.
Okay, here comes another one.
What are you doing? It's a big deal to have a backer.
My dad is not someone who can be bullied!
