It is human nature and understandable that he has made up his mind to change jobs, but he does not want others to think that he is looking for another way out because he cannot stay in the old company. However, whether it is for the sake of face or treatment, he is still the vice president of a listed company. At this point, he still said these nonsense in front of people with discerning eyes. Wen Liang looked down on him for his narrow vision and narrow mind. No wonder Shangning Hi-Tech has developed from a star enterprise to a difficult situation today. If nothing else, the management is not qualified.
But at this time of hiring, some shortcomings don't need to be too much of a concern, not to mention that Wen Liang wants technology and a team, and without Chen Yongqing, it would be difficult to dig him over completely. Anyway, he is not being asked to come back as the president, as long as he can be responsible for the technical part, it is already the best use of his talents. Wen Liang is such a person, how could he argue with him verbally? He smiled heartily and said, "I made a slip of the tongue, Mr. Chen, don't take it to heart! No matter how Shangning develops in the future, I am confident that if you and Engineer Jiang can come to the new company, we will definitely be able to grow bigger and stronger in the field of program-controlled switching, and become the leader in the industry in just one or two years!"
Fan Bo interrupted, "Mr. Wen, you are too modest. With your ability, I think within a year, you will be the leader not only in program-controlled switching, but also in the entire field of basic communication facilities!"
If he hadn't dealt with Fan Bo many times before and knew that he was not a boastful person, coupled with Phoenix Bird's current status and reputation, Chen Yongqing really would have to think more about whether it was necessary to arrange this meeting today. But it was precisely because Fan Bo was not such a person, and he flattered him without any scruples, that made him pay more attention to Wen Liang.
Wen Liangyang said angrily, "Boss Fan, what nonsense are you talking about? Don't let Boss Chen and the others laugh at you."
Fan Bo chuckled, not caring at all, as if he felt better after being scolded. He said, "How can this be an exaggeration? I've been with Master Wen for so long, how could I not know you? As long as we plan to enter an industry, we will be the first in that industry! Mr. Chen, we have known each other for quite some time, and you know me well. I will never speak without any certainty. Working with Master Wen, I have summarized three things: being happy when speaking and feeling happy in the heart..."
Chen Yongqing's eyes flickered as he asked, "What about the third fastest one?"
"Of course, it's very easy to make money!"
Chen Yongqing laughed out loud. He was from the Northeast and felt familiar with the dialect. He said, "Well, with these three things, there is nothing else to say! Mr. Wen, come, I'll toast you a glass!"
Next, the four of them clinked glasses and chatted, talking about everything from the domestic and international situation to the current state of the telecommunications industry, from the hosting of the Olympic Games to the prospects of joining the WTO. In between, Wen Liang also shared his understanding of program-controlled switching and his outlook on the future of the communications industry. Even Jiang Yu, who rarely spoke, joined in with a few words. The initial sense of strangeness and alienation gradually dissipated with Wen Liang's near-perfect control of the table.
Many things in China are settled over the wine table, but in fact not much is said about serious matters. Most of the time is spent on chatting, bragging and pretending. But don't think this is useless. The knowledge and wisdom of life, the rules and traditions of society are all concentrated on the small wine table. Occupy the wine table, and occupy the commanding heights of victory. There is a saying in the wine field that goes like this: 10% depends on wine, 20% talks about feelings, 30% tests, 40% guesses, and 50% is just about grasping; 60% calculations, 70% games, 80% compromises, 90% interests, and 100% results!
The universe is vast in wine, and the sun and moon are long in the pot. This refers to both wine culture and the philosophy of the drinking table. Especially in China, you can be tired of it, but you cannot ignore it, and often you even have to adapt to it.
After three rounds of drinks, Wen Liang looked at his watch, and Fan Bo understood and said, "Why don't we stop here today? Young Master Wen has something to do later. If Mr. Chen and Engineer Jiang have any more questions, we can arrange a time to get together. What do you think..."
Chen and Jiang had talked to Fan Bo many times before, and they knew everything in detail. If they hadn't made up their minds, they wouldn't have met today. Although they were still in the dark about Wen Liang's background, they at least knew that he was a man with money, social connections, and economic acumen. Even the CEO of the popular Phoenix Bird Company in China was respectful to him and spoke with great caution. You can imagine how powerful he was!
But a big background does not necessarily mean high level of skills. Wen Liang is still a young man. Whether he can lead the company to become regular and develop it to a satisfactory level is still unknown!
Chen Yongqing didn't want his second venture to follow the old path of Ninggao Technology. He really didn't have much time and opportunities left!
But the last bit of hesitation disappeared today when we met and along with his gentle words and actions.
He is a decisive leader with a steady and calm look, superb communication skills, and profound insights into the communications industry. Many of his ideas are unprecedented and unknown to others. It can be said that he has a very strategic vision, and his planning for the company is orderly and clear in terms of priorities.
After being in the business world for so long, Chen Yongqing thought he still had some insight into people, so after considering all aspects, he finally made up his mind. Jiang Yu was a mentor and a brother to Chen Yongqing, and he was not a very opinionated person. As long as Chen Yongqing agreed, he would not hesitate. On the other hand, the patented technology of the newly developed programmable switch had been sold to Wen Liang's company by Shangning Hi-Tech. As the person in charge of developing this equipment, it really didn't make sense for him to stay in Shangning Hi-Tech. If he could continue to deal with switches by changing jobs, he would agree even if his personal salary was reduced!
"Mr. Wen, you are busy. Let's go back and discuss it. There shouldn't be any problem." Chen Yongqing took the initiative to change the address of "Mr. Wen" to "Mr. Wen". Fearing that he might misunderstand, he explained, "There are still many things to deal with. It will take a long time for the whole team to come here. But I will seize the time and try to complete all the procedures by the end of next month."
Wen Liang nodded, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, welcome to join us!"
Chen Yongqing clasped his hands together and said, "From now on, just call me Yongqing. It is my honor to work with General Wen!"
After watching Chen Yongqing and Jiang Yu leave, Fan Bo asked, "Where are we going next, Mr. Wen?"
"I'm going to a friend's birthday party. There are only kids there, so I won't invite you." Wen Liang joked, "You go ahead and drive away. I'll take a taxi over later!"
Fan Bo agreed and suddenly laughed, "Mr. Wen, if the CEO of Shangning Hi-Tech knew that we talked about the reorganization for a long time, but it turned out that we went there for his patented technology and his technical team, I wonder if he would be so angry that he would curse in his bedroom in the middle of the night?"
"If it rains, it will rain. If it rains, it will get married. If it really wants to be scolded, then let it be." Wen Liang said calmly, "This technology is just a worthless piece of broken stone in Shangning Hi-Tech, but the money that the banker gave them this time is enough for the net profit of the past few years. People should learn to be content!"
Fan Bolian said yes, his heart trembled slightly for some reason, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his palms involuntarily.
Wen Liang got into the taxi and was about to tell the address when his cell phone rang. After answering the phone, he heard Miao Qingyan yelling at the top of her lungs: "Where are you? What time is it?"
Wen Liang moved the phone away from his ear and said with a smile, "It's only a little after nine o'clock. I'm in the car and will be there soon!"
"We're moving to KTV. Come over here quickly. The cake is still uncut and waiting for you!"
Wen Liang frowned. He originally thought that he was just going to a restaurant to have a meal. When he got there, he would just take two glasses of wine to say hello and leave. He had no plan to go to KTV and sing all night with a group of college students.
"Hey, hey... Qingqing, you have to come. This is my first birthday after my breakup. If you don't come, I... I will be unhappy..."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Liang smiled bitterly and said, "Master, let's go to Sanlitun!"
There is no need to elaborate on the hustle and bustle of Sanlitun. Wen Liang pushed open the KTV box where Miao Qingyan and the others were. The booming music instantly buried his senses. More than a dozen men and women were sitting on the long sofa, laughing and making noises, filled with the joy and brightness that only youth can have.
Miao Qingyan stood alone in front of the screen holding a microphone, watching the blue words scrolling across it and singing a song.
Zhang Hongliang's "Do You Know I'm Waiting for You?" However, what was unexpected was that Miao, who had learned countless curse words in the country with her language talent, would actually be a tone-deaf and off-tune singer!
Such a simple song, with a melody that can almost be hummed with the nose, was sung by her in a way that conveys the difficulty of climbing snow-capped mountains and crossing grasslands. The turns were syllable by syllable, and in the end, it was unclear whether she turned to the Himalayas or the Yarlung Zangbo River. People who listened to it really wanted to kill themselves!
The first person who saw Wen Liang was not Miao Qingyan who was singing with great concentration, but Lu Ruo who he had just met in the morning. She changed into a black cotton dress and her long hair was draped over her shoulders. The graceful beauty in the daytime instantly turned into a different person. She still looked fresh but more charming, especially under the light, she had a kind of magical power that bewitched people's hearts.
"You're here. Senior Sister Miao almost lost her temper just now. Come and sit down."
Lu Yan had a faint smile on his face, and politely extended his hand to invite Wen Liang to go inside. Wen Liang smiled slightly and said, "You go and have fun. I'll talk to Qing Qing and then leave. No need to bother you."
Lu Xu was stunned for a moment, as if she sensed some kind of alienation in the gentle and polite words. The fingers hanging by her legs moved slightly, and a trace of shame and anger flashed in her eyes.
"I... I'm really sorry for getting you into trouble at noon, but I was in a hurry and forgot to ask for your contact information. How about you tell me your phone number and I'll treat you to a meal tomorrow as an apology, okay?"
Her body's reaction could not be hidden from Wenliang's eyes, but why did such a beautiful girl not turn around and walk away angrily, but instead suppressed the grievance in her heart and further put forward this request that made many men happy
What Wen Liang said to Miao Qingyan about Lu Yan was just because he hoped that Miao Qingyan would be more careful. In fact, he had no ill feelings towards Lu Yan, and of course he had no good feelings towards her either. She was just a small episode in their chance encounter. They would not have any intersection in the future, and she would not leave any impression in Wen Liang's heart. She was like a girl who passed by him on the street. It was over, and it was over!
That's all!
Wen Liang smiled and said, "I would love to be invited to dinner by a girl, but I don't have the chance this time. I have to leave Beijing tomorrow. I'll wait until next time. If the time is right, I will definitely come to eat with you."
After that, he ignored Lu Yu and walked behind Miao Qingyan, patting her shoulder. Miao Qingyan turned her head, tears faintly visible in the corners of her eyes. Seeing that it was Wen Liang, she hurriedly pretended to tidy up her hair and secretly wiped it, complaining: "You are unlucky. I ordered a lot of delicious food in the restaurant just now. Now there is only cake. Don't be disgusted!"
Wen Liang knew that she must be thinking of the past birthdays with her boyfriend, so she was sad. After a moment of hesitation, he decided to stay a little longer and said, "I just drank a little wine, and the cake is too greasy. I can't eat it. Also, I have to criticize you. Although the birthday boy is the most important person today, your singing voice can scare ghosts to death. How dare you occupy the microphone and sing here alone?"
Miao Qingyan pouted, pointed at the crowd in the private room, and said, "They are all in pairs. Even if they are not in pairs, they are all having an affair. I am not here to sing alone. Do I have to watch others kissing each other, and then, unable to resist, go out and find a man to solve the problem?"
Wen Liang wisely ignored the question and picked up the other microphone, twirling it in his hand, and said with a smile, "How about we sing a duet and I'll lead you?"
"Okay, okay," Miao Qingyan was happy, and she didn't even know what she was happy about. She shouted into the microphone: "Everyone, be quiet! Next, please welcome the beautiful and generous senior sister Qingqing from Beijing Medical University, that is, me..." There was a roar in the room, "And the handsome and rich Tu Lao Mao, that is, this classmate, we are going to sing a song for everyone..."
She turned her head and asked, "What was the chorus about?"
"casual!"
Wen Liang smiled and greeted the cheering crowd, showing great grace and elegance. But to someone who walked out of Ning Huchen's room alive, this was just a drizzle.
"I hate casual people the most, but they are not casual at all!"
Miao Qingyan muttered something and quickly looked at the playlist, but couldn't make up her mind. Wen Liang pointed his finger at a song and said, "Let's sing this one together."
"Ah? "One Night in Beijing"? I don't know how to sing this female voice..."
Wen Liang pointed at himself and said, "I can!"
A melodious melody began to spread. When Wen Liang's Beijing accent sounded, "I don't want to ask you where you are anymore, I don't want to think about whether you can come back anymore," there was a burst of laughter in the room. Even Miao Qingyan, who was originally depressed, laughed so hard that she fell down. When she sang her verse, she didn't even finish. Wen Liang glanced at her with resentment. Miao Qingyan smiled and held his shoulders. After a lot of effort, she finished the verse, but she was out of tune again. However, Wen Liang continued to sing the female verse very seriously:
"People say that the wolf tribe in the north will stand outside the city gate when the cold wind blows, wearing corroded iron armor, calling out to the outsiders with tears in their eyes..."
"Wow I have been waiting for thousands of years why the city gates are still not open"
"Wow I have been waiting for thousands of years why my beloved has not come back"
