The venue for negotiations between the two parties was a high-end nightclub in the city center. When it opened at the beginning of the year, celebrities were often invited to support it, and business was booming for a while. Later, I don’t know whether it was due to neglect of management or the gathering of various religions. There were often drunkenness and troubles in the store, and one life was reported. As a result, the turnover plummeted and the company was unable to make ends meet. In the past two months, rumors of drug abuse and underground dealings have spread at this once-popular nightclub. As a result, the already bleak business has become even more sluggish. Even during prime time on weekends, Yemen is deserted.
When a group of people arrived at the bar called 'Phantom', Tang Ming took the lead in pushing open the heavy oak door in order to show off his performance, and walked into the dimly lit bar with a swagger.
It was noon, and the bar, which was mainly open at night, was surprisingly deserted. Except for a few waiters lying on the table and taking naps, no one even said hello. As soon as Xiao Zheng entered the bar, a sour smell hit his nostrils. It was obviously the smell of alcohol mixed with vomit. It seems that this bar not only has a bad reputation, but also has not solved the most basic hygiene problems. With this kind of service attitude, you still have the nerve to open the door for business? If you don't lose everything, it will be considered a blessing from the God of Wealth.
Lan Xin obviously couldn't adapt to the dimly lit and smelly negotiation environment. As soon as he entered the door, he frowned slightly and glanced around at the negotiating partner.
Xiao Zheng, who was following behind, noticed Director Lan's discomfort, walked straight to a dozing waiter, knocked on the solid table rhythmically, and said with a smile: "Brother, is your boss here?"
The waiter who was disturbed from his dream looked ugly and said impatiently: "It's not business hours yet. I want to drink and come back in the evening."
"We're not here to drink." Xiao Zheng casually lit a cigarette.
"Then what are you doing here?" The waiter didn't seem to hear Xiao Zheng's initial question.
"Debt collection." Xiao Zheng said slowly
"Debt collection?" The waiter was startled at first, then asked curiously. "Are you from the ENN Group?"
"Yes." Xiao Zheng nodded.
"Wait a moment. I'll call the boss." The waiter said and ran into the employee area.
Xiao Zheng conveyed Lan Xin's purpose, picked a clean and spacious booth, and said to Director Lan, "Mr. Lan, let's sit and wait?"
"Yes." Lan Xin nodded slightly, sat down gracefully, and said to Xiao Zheng who was busy. "Thanks a lot."
"You are too polite." Xiao Zheng said politely. “We all work in the same company, so it’s natural for us to help each other.”
"Azheng is right. Mr. Lan, please don't be polite to us. We security guards will definitely beg you sometimes in the future." As he spoke, Tang Ming came over with a bottle of good wine and said with a smile. "I haven't eaten at noon, so let's have a glass of wine to soothe our stomach."
"Are you treating me to a treat?" Xiao Zheng joked. "This bottle of wine is not cheap. If someone comes to settle the score with us later, half your salary will be gone."
"I'll treat you to a drink." Lan Xin said with a smile. With that said, she ordered her personal assistant. "Tan Li, let them get some snacks. Drinking on an empty stomach is not good for your stomach."
"Yes. Mr. Lan." The assistant who was sitting quietly behind Lan Xin got up to order, but Tang Ming said a little embarrassed. "Mr. Lan, how can I let you spend money? We should invite you."
"We are all colleagues, you're welcome." Lan Xin smiled softly, her beautiful eyes like spring water gently falling on Xiao Zheng's face, and asked. "Azheng. You've been in Xinao not long ago, right?"
"Yes. I've only been on the job for two days. Please take care of Mr. Lan in the future." Xiao Zheng said politely.
"From your accent, do you think you're a local?" Lan Xin didn't seem eager to meet the bar owner, but started chatting with Xiao Zheng.
"Yes. I'm from Pearl." Xiao Zheng had cold dishes and wine. He had been busy all morning and didn't pay much attention to what he was eating. Tang Ming, who was sitting aside, felt resentful that iron could not become steel. Facing the famous Blue Beauty of New Ao, can't you be gentle? Can't you see that Director Lan has made it clear that he is interested in you
Tang Ming was full of complaints, and Xiao Zheng was also quite puzzled. Judging from Director Lan's demeanor, he seemed to be really interested in him. But Brother Azheng is not a rookie with inflated self-confidence. I definitely wouldn’t think that this prominent company official would think of me in a different light when they first met.
Although Xiao Zheng, who has been in the society for many years, does not have rich work experience, he can be regarded as a veteran in dealing with people. Otherwise, during so many years of cruel life, he would have died in a corner without any bones left. For a high-ranking company executive like Director Lan, she may have a gentle and friendly temperament, but this does not mean that any cat or dog can fall under her radar. Maybe he is interested in me now, maybe he really knew him before
Of course, deep in Brother Azheng's soul, he hopes that Director Lan will be moved and impressed by his handsomeness. It has always been Brother Azheng’s lifelong wish to rely on his reputation to make a living!
"Did you go to Mingzhu No. 1 Middle School before?" Lan Xin's gentle but always maintaining a vague sense of distance flashed an inexplicable eagerness on her face.
"How did you know?" Xiao Zheng wondered. "Is Mr. Lan also a student of Mingzhu No. 1 Middle School?"
"I am from the 2004 class." Lan Xin tried her best to control the emotions on her face. asked. "And you?"
"I entered school in 2005." Xiao Zheng regretted that he was not in the same class as Director Lan and missed the opportunity to make friends. At the same time, it was also determined that Director Lan had mistakenly admitted the wrong person.
In high school, although Xiao Zheng was a top student with excellent grades, his behavior in school was always criticized. Even if he hangs out with the students who form gangs in the school, he also interacts with the young people outside the school who are gangsters. For this reason, the school gave him several warnings to drop out of school. If it weren't for the fact that he was a talented person and didn't bring evil into the school, expulsion would have been an inevitable outcome.
This was the case when they were students. Little girls had no immunity to boys with high IQs like Xiao Zheng, who could rank among the best even if he fished for three days and surfed the Internet for two days. In addition, Brother Azheng is very generous and often stands up for weak classmates who are being bullied. He once became a popular figure in Mingzhu No. 1 Middle School and captured the hearts of many seniors and juniors. If he hadn't dropped out of school due to anger before the college entrance examination, I believe that today's Brother Azheng would have become a well-known figure in the law firm even if he was not a benevolent doctor. How could he be held hostage by a woman and become a mere security guard
Xiao Zheng was in a confused state of mind, and Lan Xin, who was sitting opposite him, also had erratic eyes, with a bit of directness as if there was no one around, as he carefully studied the face of Xiao Zheng, whom he had met for the first time. It was like looking at a first love, his eyes were very hot.
"Oh, isn't this Mr. Lan! How can a big shot like you, who has so many things to do, have time to spend time in a small place like ours? Is it possible that Xin'ao is too poor to take the blame, so for a mere few thousand dollars, you bother to do it yourself?"
Coming out of the employee area was a gorgeous woman in a black net skirt. The slightly tight black skirt outlines her graceful and plump body like a water snake, which is seductive. A fair-skinned face dotted with scarlet lip gloss exudes an air of romance that men can understand. Especially the snow-white jade rabbit, which was half exposed in the air, bounced violently with the twist of her waist, almost killing Tang Ming.
"Damn! This bitch is really a witch who is so charming that she won't pay for her life!" Tang Ming rubbed his hot nose vigorously, thinking that his trip today would be in vain.
