Wen Liang stood up and turned around, his hands hanging down by his legs, smiling, looking gentle and elegant, completely different from the verbal battle just now. He reacted so quickly, seeing that Ning Xiaoning, such a cold person, was actually holding the hand of the Porsche girl like a good baby, and immediately understood the purpose of asking him out today, which was nothing more than introducing the other party to him. Although he was still a little confused in his heart, is it necessary for two unrelated people to get to know each other? There was no expression of impatience on his face.
With Ning Xiaoning as the middleman, even if you don't like the other person, you still have to show basic courtesy.
"This is really fate. I told you that we'll be friends if we meet again. Let's get to know each other formally. Hello, my name is Wen Liang."
Wen Liang smiled and stretched out his hand. The girl was still wearing sunglasses and did not shake hands with Wen Liang. She teased, "Oh, you are suddenly so gentlemanly. I am really not used to it..."
Girls are always petty, especially pretty girls. Wen Liang had already prepared for revenge, so he kept smiling and said, "If we treat strangers the same as friends, then the word friend is too cheap. Just like now, aren't we experiencing the feeling of being friends?"
The girl chuckled and turned to ask Ning Xiaoning, "Is he always so eloquent?"
Ning Xiaoning didn't expect that the two knew each other. From their tone, it seemed that there was something wrong. She didn't react for a while and stayed aside without saying anything. When she heard the girl's question, she glared at Wen Liang as if she had just woken up from a dream, warned him to be honest, and said in defense: "He is a very good person, but sometimes he speaks harshly. Sister, you are a generous person, don't bother with him."
The girl looked at Ning Xiaoning strangely for a few times, then suddenly pinched her cheek and said teasingly, "Well, I've only been abroad for five years, and my Snow Beauty can already speak for boys. It's really melancholy to think about it. But you used a word very accurately, mean! More than mean, he was so angry that he could kill me!"
Ning Xiaoning had been teased by her elder sister, who was the most popular in the family, since she was a child. However, she was still a little shy in front of Wen Liang. She stamped her foot and said angrily, "If you dare to call me Snow Beauty again, I... I will let Wen Liang bite you!"
Wen Liang felt a little dizzy. How could this be the same tone as Xu Yao's? He said, "Forget it. Biting is against the law!" His hand was still in the air. The girl looked at him for a while, smiled slightly, stretched out her right hand and gently shook it with Wen Liang: "Hello, I'm Ning Xi. Wen Liang, a nice name."
Ning Xiaoning secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the two shaking hands, but she didn't know that at the moment of shaking hands, Ning Xi's long fingertips pierced Wen Liang's palm fiercely.
Only girls and villains are difficult to raise. Uncle Wen considered himself unlucky and said with a smile: "Ning Xi, a better name."
After the three of them sat down, Ning Xiaoning introduced: "Wen Liang, this strange girl who likes to wear sunglasses is my cousin. You already know her name. She went abroad to study at the age of fifteen and traveled around the world for five years. I heard that she earned a lot of pocket money. By the way, she graduated from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. She is a genius child in our family..."
Ning Xiaoning's family lives in the military sub-district compound, and considering Ning Xi's impressive license plate, it makes sense that they have this relationship. Wen Liang was not too surprised, but just as Ning Xiaoning said, this cousin was really strange. She didn't take off her sunglasses after entering the restaurant. Wen Liang maliciously guessed that some parts of her face were not convenient to show to others, and smiled: "Wharton, one of the eight standing committee members of the Ivy League. Philadelphia is a good place..."
Ning Xi was already numb to Wen Liang's erudition and said, "Wharton, Ivy League, Philadelphia, you know everything! Please don't tell me that one of your teachers is a doctoral supervisor at Wharton?"
Wen Liang smiled but said nothing. Ning Xiaoning took over the conversation and said coldly, "His teacher is the most beautiful female teacher in our No. 1 Middle School. She is much better than those old men in Wharton."
Ning Xi scratched Ning Xiaoning's nose lovingly and said, "Silly girl, it's not scientific for you to do this. You should know that IQ and appearance are generally inversely proportional... Of course, my Snow Beauty is just an exception among exceptions because she is both smart and beautiful."
Wen Liang couldn't stand it any longer. Girls would make more noise than boys. If they kept going like this, they wouldn't be able to get to the point until dawn. So he asked, "Coach, what exactly do you want to talk to me about today? I've seen Sister Ning Xi too. If you have something to say, just tell me. I'll do whatever I can."
"Actually, I asked you to come here because of Qinghe Soy Milk..."
After hearing these words, Wen Liang finally understood what Ning Xiaoning meant. Once, he talked to Li Shengli about the future development and planning of Qinghe. Ning Xiaoning was there at the time. The girl seemed very interested in business matters and asked Wen Liang to make a business plan for her. At that time, Wen Liang was busy with the political struggle in Qingzhou and could not spare the time to perfect the future blueprint of Qinghe. He had been delaying it until now. If Ning Xiaoning hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten what he had promised at that time.
"So Sister Ning Xi was interested in finding a project to invest in in the country, and you thought of Qinghe?"
"Well, I remember you said that Qinghe lacked funds for development and it would be difficult to develop quickly. It just so happened that Sister Xi just came back from abroad and complained all day that she was bored to death. With inflation so severe, the money in her hands was depreciating day by day. I was wondering if I could cooperate with you and run Qinghe together..."
Wen Liang didn't know what to say. He stared at Ning Xi and smiled bitterly, "You were tricked by her into coming here? I now doubt whether you have really been to Wharton. Are you trying to fool Xiao Ning with your West Pacific degree?"
Ning Xi laughed loudly, revealing the unique cheerfulness and casualness of Western culture. Her chest trembled as she swayed forward and backward. The gorgeous suit could not hide the roundness wrapped in silk thread, which was the unique charm and flavor of the East.
Wenliang's gaze involuntarily fell on that firm and round place, and a word that was widely circulated in later generations emerged in his mind: breast shaking!
"Wenliang, I only like you when you are mean. Wharton is nothing special. The most important thing is to put what you learn into practice. Xiao Ning has annoyed me so many times that I had to come and take a look. Whether it will succeed depends on the project. Of course, I admit that I was deceived by her. She didn't tell me that the so-called founder of Qinghe was actually her classmate, a freshman in high school... You know, when I saw you just now, I was really ashamed of my fancy dress. I am really sorry for this designer..."
This time it was Wen Liang's turn to laugh: "Sister Ning Xi, it seems that our friendship can last a long time. I like dealing with mean people."
Although Ning Xi's words were mostly joking, if she hadn't dealt with Wen Liang twice before and felt a little differently about him, she would have made an excuse to leave when she saw that her potential business partner was actually a high school student. Ning Xiaoning had been hiding it from her before, always acting very mysterious, saying that she would know whether the project would succeed after they met, and she thought it was great anyway.
It turns out that he was afraid that I would know the truth, so he would not come to see me at all.
Ning Xi waved her hand. The waiter had been waiting for a long time. When she was ordering, Ning Xiaoning moved to the opposite side, leaned over to Wen Liang's ear, and whispered, "I know her best. It seems that she should be willing to talk. You should perform well and try to cheat her money to develop Qinghe. Well, then my salary should be able to increase a bit, right?"
Seeing the gold coins flashing in Xiao Ning's eyes, Wen Liang was so moved that he wanted to cry. What kind of spirit is this? For the sake of a few dollars of salary from working, he dared to sell out his family who graduated from Wharton? He also whispered: "Coach Ning, whoever marries you in the future will be blessed!"
Ning Xiaoning rolled her eyes at him, and Wen Liang suddenly realized that she, who was cold and aloof, was no less charming than Xu Yao and Ji Su. Perhaps the charm of a girl is innate, and it all depends on whether she can meet the person who makes her bloom physically and mentally.
Joking aside, if Ning Xi really had a large sum of money to look for, Wen Liang would naturally be more than happy to help. Qinghe's development speed was not slow. Opening a store a month was already too fast in the start-up period. Especially for Qinghe, which was still in the exploratory stage in terms of management, distribution, production, central kitchen and standardized processes, taking too big a step could easily lead to failure.
But this does not mean that Wen Liang does not need funds. Whether it is to establish a perfectly replicable chain franchise model or to further expand the market, it requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and more efforts in research and development, in order to quickly pass the start-up stage and take the first step in large-scale operation. Without Ning Xi, Wen Liang would have to raise funds through other channels. Once Qingzhou's political arena is stable, he will naturally find a way to attract funds. All he has to pay is time and waiting.
Ning Xi smiled at the two of them and said, "What are you gossiping about? If Xiao Ning is a commercial spy, I have to advise President Wen to listen to her. Your success rate in convincing me is less than 5.17 percent."
Ning Xiaoning said angrily, "Ning Xi, do you want me to reveal all your past embarrassments?"
"Okay, tell me quickly, I can't remember a lot of them - those beautiful childhood memories!"
Seeing that Ning Xiaoning was about to go berserk, Wen Liang hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Don't be angry. Didn't Chairman Mao say that all imperialisms are paper tigers? You can defeat her by just keeping silent and using a cold look."
Ning Xiaoning was very knowledgeable about the ways of the world, so she knew that Wen Liang was taking the opportunity to ask her to stop arguing. She snorted and shut her mouth obediently.
Ning Xi's sunglasses almost fell off in surprise when she saw this scene. Is this still the Snow Beauty that everyone in the family feared since she was a child
The little girl who used to make snowmen alone in the yard has finally grown up!
Wen Liang folded his hands and placed them flat on the table, his chin slightly raised, his eyes calm, his voice steady yet majestic, his whole temperament changed. Even Ning Xiaoning, who had never experienced business negotiations, noticed the difference in an instant, and suddenly realized that the following words were no longer a joke.
