Chapter 730 Shen Yuanjie
After the whole procedure was completed and they had a treat together, Qin Zhengguo originally thought that there was nothing to do and planned to just leave in the afternoon.
But he didn't expect that there would be more to come. Sun Sixi found him and said that their general manager, who was also the former factory director, wanted to have a good talk with Qin Zhengguo. As for what they were going to talk about, there was no need to say, it should be about market and sales issues.
It was still early, and for Sun Sixi's sake, Qin Zhengguo did not refuse, and they went to the general manager's office together. When they got there, not only the general manager was there, but also the secretary and the head of the supply and marketing department. When they saw Qin Zhengguo coming, they all stood up at the same time and shook hands with him enthusiastically.
After some pleasantries, the other party couldn't wait to talk about the product and even took out the plan they had discussed in the previous meeting and asked Qin Zhengguo for advice.
Qin Zhengguo was not surprised to know this was the case. Not only for Sun Sixi's sake, but also for the sake of his hometown company, he did not hide anything and immediately talked to these leaders.
After talking for an afternoon, Sun Sixi and his friends listened to a lot of suggestions made by Qin Zhengguo, especially the many improvements Qin Zhengguo made to the plan they made. When the final, more complete and more practical plan was gradually formed, Sun Sixi and his friends all showed joy on their faces and were very grateful for Qin Zhengguo's help.
In order to express their gratitude to Qin Zhengguo, Sun Sixi and his friends forced Qin Zhengguo to have dinner and drink with them. Northern men are like this. They feel that they have not expressed their enthusiasm enough without a good drink. Qin Zhengguo could not refuse and had to attend the banquet. The drinking lasted from five in the afternoon to nine in the evening. Qin Zhengguo could not stand their rounds of drinking and found an excuse to leave.
After returning to the hotel in the car driven by Sun Sixi, Qin Zhengguo got out of the car shakily. He waved to Sun Sixi and asked him to go back and rest early.
He knew he was fine and what else could happen since he was already in the hotel? Seeing that he was a little drunk but still sober, Sun Sixi did not insist. Before leaving, he told him to notify him in advance when he left and he would drive him there.
After saying goodbye to Sun Sixi, Qin Zhengguo burped and walked towards the hotel. After entering the door, he went straight to the elevator, but before he could get there, a strange voice sounded behind him.
"Boss Qin, you're back..."
Looking back, he saw an ordinary-looking middle-aged man greeting him a little awkwardly. Qin Zhengguo didn't know this person and thought he was a hotel staff, so he didn't pay much attention to him. He nodded and prepared to continue walking towards the elevator.
"Have you drunk too much? Let me support you." Seeing that Qin Zhengguo was a little staggering, the other party hurried forward to support his arm.
"Thank...thank you."
"You're welcome. How much did you drink? Are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay, I didn't drink much..." Qin Zhengguo waved his hand. At this time, the elevator arrived. The other party helped Qin Zhengguo into the elevator and soon arrived at his floor.
A few steps out of the elevator, he arrived at the door of the room. He took out the key and opened it. Before Qin Zhengguo went in, he saw the middle-aged man who supported him was still standing beside him. He was slightly stunned and understood. He reached into his pocket, took out a big unity and handed it over.
"Thank you, here, this is a tip..."
The other party was stunned for a moment, and quickly waved his hands: "Boss Qin, no, no, I don't want this..."
" Take it. Your job is not easy. Working in a hotel looks good but the salary is not high. This is the custom in Hong Kong. Don't feel embarrassed. You helped me up and it's only right that I tip you along the way." Seeing the other party's refusal, Qin Zhengguo explained with a smile and stuffed the money into the other party's hand.
"No need, Mr. Qin. You misunderstood. I am not an employee of the hotel. I am the cousin of your brother's wife. I came here specially to see you today." The other party quickly refused and explained at the same time.
When Qin Zhengguo heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He suddenly remembered that he had an appointment today!
I remembered it at noon, but wasn't Sun Sixi dragged me out to talk about something? Plus, I was dragged out to eat and drink afterwards, and after drinking too much, I actually forgot about it.
Qin Zhengguo slapped his head and apologized to the other party embarrassedly.
"Look at my memory. I'm really sorry. There was a ceremony at Radio Factory No. 7 today. I was going to come back in the afternoon, but they were so enthusiastic that they kept me here for the whole day. After get off work, they even took me out for a drink. This drink really delayed me. I actually forgot about you. Blame it on me! I'm really sorry. You must have been waiting for a long time, right?"
"Haha, it's okay. In fact, I didn't wait long." The other party replied with a smile, without any unhappiness on his face.
"Come on, let's go inside and talk." Qin Zhengguo apologized to him with his hands clasped together, then invited him into the house.
When they arrived at the room, Qin Zhengguo first asked him if he had eaten. The other party replied that he had already eaten. However, as soon as he said that, he heard his stomach growling and his face turned red.
"It's my fault, my fault!" Qin Zhengguo did not cancel the call, but felt even more guilty. He thought for a while and said, "It's too late now and the restaurant is closed. I guess there's nothing to eat in the hotel. If you don't mind that I have instant noodles in my room, can you make do with it for a while? I'll treat you to a good meal tomorrow and make amends to you."
"No, really no, besides you didn't mean it..."
"Hey, what are you talking about? We are relatives after all, so how can we ignore it? Wait a minute." Qin Zhengguo said and went back to the inner room. He took out a pack of instant noodles from his luggage, thought for a while and took out a can of beef. These things were specially .
The instant noodles were produced by Song Yuanchao's company, Si Te, and the canned beef was bought at the airport. He didn't bring much with him, just a few packs, to use in case it was inconvenient to eat on the road.
The thermos in the room was full. It must have been replaced by the hotel waiter, which saved Qin Zhengguo the trouble.
She unpacked the package skillfully, found a large bowl, placed the instant noodles and the seasoning packet in it, then filled it with hot water and covered it with an unused magazine, and then put a teacup lid on top.
While eating instant noodles, Qin Zhengguo opened a can of beef. After a while, he opened the sealed magazine and a rich aroma hit his nose.
Then he poured the beef from the can into the bowl and said to the other party with a smile, "Okay, you eat first. I'll go to the bathroom to wash my face."
After saying that, Qin Zhengguo got up and went to the bathroom, and soon the sound of water was heard from inside.
The other party had been hungry for a long time. He came to the hotel to find Qin Zhengguo without having eaten dinner, but when he arrived at the hotel and asked, he found that Qin Zhengguo had not returned.
He waited for four or five hours, and he didn't dare to leave, for fear that Qin Zhengguo would come back right after he left. So he kept waiting in the hotel lobby for Qin Zhengguo to come back, from sunset to dark, and from dark to after nine o'clock in the evening. Finally, he saw Qin Zhengguo, who was a little drunk, coming back, and then he quickly got up to greet him and helped him upstairs.
I originally wanted to be reserved, but the aroma of the instant noodles was really overwhelmed. What's more, Qin Zhengguo's bowl of instant noodles was filled with seasonings, and the aroma of beef overwhelmed me, making me even hungrier.
Qin Zhengguo found an excuse to go to the bathroom, and the other party understood that this was to save his face. After thinking about it, he stopped struggling and picked up a pair of travel chopsticks to eat the noodles. He ate a large bowl of noodles and the beef in it in less than two minutes, and even drank up the soup.
After eating, I put down my bowl and chopsticks, touched my stomach and felt much better.
After a while, Qin Zhengguo walked out of the bathroom. His eyes swept across the empty bowl, and he smiled without saying anything.
After washing his face and getting rid of some of the smell of alcohol, Qin Zhengguo felt much more energetic.
He asked the other person to sit on the sofa, made two cups of tea, took out a cigarette and handed it to him, and asked the other person's name.
Shen Yuanjie, this is the middle-aged man's name. They had met on the day of Xiaoliu's wedding, and someone introduced them to each other. However, there were too many guests that day, and Qin Zhengguo definitely couldn't remember him. They only officially met now.
"Brother Shen, I heard from Xiao Liuzi that you want to borrow money for business?" Qin Zhengguo didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.
Shen Yuanjie looked a little embarrassed. After all, borrowing money was not a glorious thing. Moreover, although he and Qin Zhengguo were relatives, they were not really related at all. There was still a big gap between them.
After hesitating for a while, Shen Yuanjie nodded and said, "Yes, Boss Qin, I am short of money for my business. I really have no other choice. My sister said that you... so I can only ask you for help..."
"We are all family. Please don't call me Boss Qin . It sounds weird." Qin Zhengguo had a good impression of Shen Yuanjie. Although he asked him for help, he did not act so impatient, and his expression showed that he was really having difficulties doing this.
In doing business over the years, Qin Zhengguo has met many people and dealt with all kinds of people. He can basically make a rough judgement of what kind of person the other person is after meeting him once and chatting with him for a few sentences.
Although this was their first official meeting, Shen Yuanjie seemed reliable and not the arrogant type. And judging from the fact that he had waited for so long today, one could tell that he was a tough and down-to-earth person.
In addition, from the time they met to the time he helped her upstairs, and the fact that he didn't mention it even though he was obviously hungry, this made Qin Zhengguo feel even better about him.
Seeing Shen Yuanjie hesitate for a moment as if he was thinking about how to address him, Qin Zhengguo said with a smile: "You can call me Zhengguo, or you can call me Lao Qin, that's what my friends call me."
"Then I'll call you Zhengguo." Shen Yuanjie is much older than Qin Zhengguo, so it's not appropriate to call him Old Qin. It's better to call him Zhengguo.
"Brother Shen, Xiao Liuzi told me that you are a graduate of an old technical secondary school?"
"Yes, the third batch of technical secondary school students."
"From the third year of college? That's incredible!" Qin Zhengguo asked in astonishment, "Logically, you should have a lot of connections with your classmates, right? Even if the original farm machinery factory is closed, you should have no problem finding a job with your connections. Why did you suddenly think of doing this?"
Shen Yuanjie sighed, "You're right. I do have a few good classmates. One of them is a regional leader. Although we've graduated for so many years, we still have a good relationship. If I shamelessly ask him to arrange a job for me, it won't be a problem. After all, I was also a cadre in the agricultural machinery factory before, and my rank is still there."
At this point, Shen Yuanjie shook his head and said, "I've thought about it myself. Even if I can find a connection to arrange a job, it will be the same as before. I've been working like this for more than ten years. I'm going to be 40 this year. At this age, it's not suitable for young people, but it's still too early to retire. This time the unit merged, the leader talked to me, and I was also thinking about where to go in the future. After thinking for a long time, I felt that I can't just spend my whole life in mediocrity. I have to do something worth doing. So, I didn't try to find a connection, and decided to take a leave of absence and do it myself. I have to give it a try to see if it works. I won't regret it when I'm old in the future."
