Chapter 94: He's spoiled
Since returning from the last event, Chu Yang seemed to have gained some respect in the company.
Director Liu spoke to him much more politely and didn't dare to assign him any dirty or tiring work. Even when President Xie saw Chu Yang, he would take the initiative to say hello and ask if Chu Yang had eaten or had a bowel movement.
Chu Yang didn't quite know what was going on.
After asking the honest man Xu Hongyi, he found out that someone was spreading the word that his background was very strong and even the Public Security Bureau Chief Wu Jian had to give him face.
Good job.
Chu Yang had not expected such an effect. The situation was critical at the time. Chu Yang did not want to embarrass his senior sister, so he remembered Wu Jian's words, asking him to find him if he had any difficulties. So Chu Yang tried it out and asked him to find a way to open the door of the hero's former residence for him.
I didn't expect him to do it so easily.
In fact, he and Wu Jian had only met once.
…
This morning Chu Yang received an invitation from Mr. Xie. Mr. Xie's new house was completed and a wedding banquet was going to be held. He wanted everyone to go to the wedding to have some fun. Chu Yang originally thought that Mr. Xie had taken a fancy to him and that he could be his aide.
But after asking around, I realized I was overthinking. It turned out that President Xie had invited almost everyone who worked in the building, even the cleaning lady. There weren't so many rules in those days, and leaders still liked to hold big banquets and make them lively and exciting.
Before leaving get off work, everyone in the department discussed how to attend the wedding.
Huang Tianxiang said that he drove his Chevrolet over, first called Director Liu Chang, then called Xiao Bo and Sister Xie Yun, and finally said: "Chu Yang, there is no other way, you have no place, you can do it yourself."
hehe.
Chu Yang shrugged to show that it didn't matter. In fact, he could have completely omitted the last sentence. It was just that Huang Tianxiang didn't want to take herself with him. To be more direct, he took the other three people with him just to make people think that you didn't go that far.
But Sister Yun was worthy of being the big sister, with a big heart and a broad mind. She said, "I may have to leave early, so I'd better drive my car. Chu Yang, you can just take my car." Chu Yang was moved beyond words at that moment, and he immediately wanted to give Sister Yun his strongest and hardest blow to repay her kindness.
When they set out, Sister Yun's car was in front of Huang Tianxiang, but they had just got off work and there was a traffic jam at the red light at the intersection in front of the company's main entrance. Sister Yun drove carefully and obeyed the rules, waiting in the lane to pass the traffic light.
But Huang Tianxiang is really arrogant and drives like a hooligan.
Seeing a small gap, he turned from the sidewalk and overtook, inserting the front of his car in front of Sister Yun's car, as if he was rushing to reincarnate. Is it necessary? Will he die soon?
Chu Yang didn't know that in his mind, if he went earlier to show his support to Mr. Xie, the leader would definitely take a closer look at him, and he couldn't let Chu Yang take the lead.
Sister Yun was a little angry and honked the horn to show what she wanted to do.
Huang Tianxiang also pressed the horn, indicating that he should give way to me, but he continued to force his way into the position . How can you do it in such a short space?
Sister Yun cursed in the car: "Huang Tianxiang is so shameless." But she still took the initiative to let him go, otherwise there would have been a collision. Damn Chu Yang was so angry when he saw this situation. If he was driving now, he would have directly knocked him off the road and made him take full responsibility.
He's spoiled by me, damn shameless.
At the intersection ahead.
Huang Tianxiang just happened to step on the yellow light and rushed forward with his foot on the accelerator. Sister Yun had no choice but to wait for the next red light, a long 120 seconds. Fortunately, Chu Yang was there to chat with her.
But the next journey.
It was so unlucky that there were red lights all the way. Sister Yun became impatient waiting for the red lights: "Chu Yang, are we so unlucky?"
Chu Yang consoled her, “Sister Yun, we are in great luck, this is a good omen.” Chu Yang didn’t know how the traffic lights were set, but they were stuck.
After hearing Chu Yang say this, Sister Yun actually relaxed a little, tugged at the seat belt, and freed the two big balls.
After arriving at the place, Huang Tianxiang was already chatting with several colleagues . Mr. Xie was nowhere to be seen. When he saw Sister Yun and Chu Yang arrive, Huang Tianxiang said, "Why did you two arrive just now? I've been here for half an hour."
How dare you say that? If you hadn't cut in line, would we be so late?
Sister Yun was obviously annoyed with him and replied expressionlessly: "There are red lights all the way. You can't go faster even if you want to."
Huang Tianxiang was very generous and laughed: "Really? I started with you, but I had green lights all the way."
Chu Yang said, "You are indeed green, lush and green."
Huang Tianxiang got angry when he heard this: "Chu Yang, what did you say?"
Sister Yun didn't want to chat with him any more, so she walked away and went to chat at another table.
Chu Yang ignored him and continued walking inside.
In fact, Chu Yang had an inexplicable feeling in his heart just now. This is what life is like. Many times, you queue up and wait for the traffic lights in an orderly manner, but someone forces their way in, and then all the lights behind you are green and smooth.
You are polite and courteous, but the world gives you back countless red lights. What's the point of such a world? Who would be willing to abide by the rules? Isn't this encouraging us to cut in line?
Whoever is thick-skinned will be favored by the world.
Mr. Xie’s villa was beautifully built and the banquet was very large, with dozens of tables, making the scene quite grand.
There was a tent in the middle, with a red carpet covering the ground and lanterns hung high. It seemed that there were also singing and dancing performances. There was a big red box at the main entrance. Chu Yang didn't know what it was for, but when he saw everyone stuffing red envelopes into it, he instantly understood that this should be a gift.
It is understandable that gifts must be given when drinking at a wedding banquet, otherwise people will suffer a great loss. Of course, this is also because the leaders like to hold big banquets. There is no one guarding the big red box. Chu Yang sees that everyone writes their name on the red envelope and throws it in.
But how much red envelope should I give to Mr. Xie? Chu Yang didn't dare to act rashly, so he asked Sister Yun how much to give, and decided to do the same as her.
In this case, just don't make any special arrangements.
Sister Yun said succinctly, "At Butai, the price for a wedding banquet is usually 200 yuan, but Mr. Xie is our leader, so I will add 100 yuan to it, so 300 yuan is not too little. Chu Yang, you can decide for yourself. It's not that particular."
Chu Yang replied: "Then I won't ask for special treatment. I'll just let it go with you."
Chu Yang had just wrapped the envelope and written his name on it, and was about to throw it in when Huang Tianxiang came over and asked tentatively and anxiously, "Chu Yang, this red envelope is so bulging, how much did you give?"
In fact, the reason why Chu Yang's red envelope was bulging was because he didn't fold the money properly. However, looking at his expression, Chu Yang knew that he was afraid that the money he had given was more than his, so he deliberately lied to him and answered: "One thousand, how come it's less?"
"one thousand?"
Huang Tianxiang didn't seem to believe it. He frowned and said, "Chu Yang, the custom here is usually 200 yuan. It's not good for you to make an exception like this."
"The custom over there is one thousand. You can do whatever you want." Chu Yang didn't say anything more to him. He just threw it in and walked away.
Huang Tianxiang gritted his teeth again, and finally took out a red envelope, counted the money, and stuffed it back into the box. Haha, wow, Chu Yang didn’t know how much he gave in the first red envelope, but this guy was really willing to spend money for a slight chance.
Huang Tianxiang actually thinks very simply.
I just want to have more than Chu Yang and make Mr. Xie remember me.
But Huang Tianxiang didn't know that his one thousand yuan seemed insignificant in front of others, and it was better than nothing, because the biggest red envelope was beyond his imagination... So his one thousand yuan thrown in did not cause any waves at all, and would not and could not attract Mr. Xie's attention...
Before the banquet started, Mr. Chu arrived. Everyone stood up to greet him. Mr. Xie also came out of his busy schedule to shake his hand and express his gratitude: "Mr. Chu, you are here. Didn't you say you had a meeting tonight and couldn't come?"
President Chu smiled cordially and said, "President Xie, you know, I really can't help it. I have a meeting at 7 o'clock and I'm leaving soon. I came over to give you a red envelope."
Mr. Xie dodged desperately: "How can this be? Mr. Chu, you are too polite. No, you are leaving without even having your meal. How can I accept your red envelope? No, no, absolutely not."
Mr. Chu was smart. He threw the money into the big red box and said, "Dear colleagues, I have a task for you tonight. Help me get Mr. Xie drunk. I have something to do here, so I'll leave first." Mr. Chu left after he said that. Mr. Xie accompanied him to the car and even instructed him to reverse.
Cao Ning, who was sitting next to Chu Yang, said, "Mr. Chu, this trip is really a loss. We lost all our money and food."
Xiao Bo, who was sitting opposite, smiled and replied, "That's superficial. Mr. Chu still needs this meal."
"He didn't have to come at all. He had a meeting."
"He comes out of favor, and leaves out of authority."
…
Soon the room was full. Chu Yang looked around and couldn't help but sigh at Mr. Xie's extensive network of contacts. In addition to the employees of his previous company, the people present were a mixed bunch, from all kinds of units.
As the wine flowed freely, a car suddenly arrived at the door. It was a low-key black Audi with a Volkswagen license plate. However, Mr. Xie acted as if he was facing a great enemy. He quickly led to the door, waiting humbly and respectfully.
This surprised all the AiGuoGu employees present.
Who is coming here, and why is he so grand?
So humble, you know, when President Chu came just now, President Xie just received him normally.
This has aroused great interest among many people.
The people in the car came out, and someone exclaimed: "Huang Shi... It's Huang Shi... He's here."
Chu Yang looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was indeed Comrade Huang Shi.
After getting off the car, Comrade Huang shook hands with General Manager Xie and was led directly into the inner room.
Everyone else was eating outside, only Huang Shi was alone in the room.
That's the difference.
Of course, it is also to avoid suspicion.
