"Oh, isn't this Mr. Wen? What a coincidence. You're here to attend the signing ceremony as well? I heard from Lu Yu that you're the investor. Why don't you sit on the podium?"
Lu Ye had a teasing smile on his face. Ever since that night when Wen Liang forcibly dragged Lu Ye away, the two of them had already torn their relationship apart, so naturally they were merciless when they spoke to each other.
Lu Yu gently pulled Lu Ye's arm and complained in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Didn't you say you just came over to say hello? Why are you being so sarcastic?"
Lu Ye snorted coldly. He now felt that he was 90% sure of seducing Lu Yan, so he was not as careful as before. He lowered his voice and said, "I know my limits. Don't worry about it. Look, I'll skin that guy. How can a poor wage earner pretend to be a big boss? Bah!"
After the unpleasant incident that night, Lu Ye learned from Lu Yan that Wen Liang was discussing a project with the Medical University Research Institute, which was why he had to come to the scene today and deliberately ask questions to find fault. But he didn't expect Fan Bohua to be so ruthless and difficult to deal with. Instead of letting the other party suffer a setback, he almost lost face.
But today was not without gain. At least it proved that Wen Liang was just a small role responsible for the preliminary negotiations and did not even have the qualifications to sit on the podium. For him, being able to severely humiliate the other party in front of Lu Yu was enough!
Lu Yan's eyes were filled with helplessness. She stood behind Lu Ye and cast an apologetic look at Miao Qingyan and Wen Liang. Wen Liang didn't mind and nodded with a smile, but Miao Qingyan didn't even look at her, obviously still angry.
"Brother Lu, you are joking. I am not a prominent person. It is not my turn to sit on the podium! If it were not for the blessing of classmate Miao, I might not even be able to enter this hall today."
Lu Ye looked at Lu Yan with a look of great pride, and said, "Listen, I told you a long time ago that you have to be careful when you are in society. At your age, you can only be a spokesperson who is in the spotlight. The real boss cooperating with your institute must be someone else. You still refuse to believe it. Isn't today a proof of my words? It turns out that the financial backer behind the scenes is Mr. Fan from Phoenix Bird. No wonder, he is a powerful figure in the city. I have interviewed him before, so we have some friendship..."
Lu Yan's expression kept changing. She didn't have a deep understanding of Wen Liang. She just heard a little from Miao Qingyan. She also witnessed Dou Yang's respectful attitude towards him, as well as the domineering and majestic attitude he displayed in the KTV that night. She thought he was either rich or noble. Could it be that, as Lu Ye said, he was just a small character who took advantage of the power of others
Wen Liang laughed in his heart, but pretended to be surprised and said, "So Brother Lu knows our President Fan. Then why did he ask such a sharp question just now, almost embarrassing President Fan?"
Lu Ye smiled disdainfully and said, "What do you know? You are just a small employee. How can you get access to any inside information? This is a play performed by me and your President Fan! If a press conference is all about you and me, how can there be any hot spots? Without hot spots, there will be no attention. How can you make money without attention? Brother Wen, you are still too naive!"
These words sounded very mature, but they completely concealed the ugly behavior that happened at the press conference. By the way, they also taught Wen Liang a lesson. From the perspective of thick black theory, his level was quite good.
Of course, the most important thing is that he is very thick-skinned!
Wen Liang waved to the left in front of him and said, "Brother Lu is indeed very knowledgeable. How about I ask a friend to come over and ask you to take the time to give me some pointers?"
Fan Bo was chatting with Deputy Director Liu of the Media Department, but his eyes never left Wen Liang, and he stood nearby on purpose. When he saw Wen Liang waving, he smiled and said, "Director Liu, I'm going to meet a friend over there, and I'll come back later..."
Deputy Director Liu raised his glass and clinked it with Fan Bo's, then nodded with a smile. However, when he looked in the direction Fan Bo was walking, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Okay, is there something you want to ask me for? Just tell me, if I don't give you face, I'll give Lu Xu face."
Seeing that Wen Liang had completely lost the ability to resist and even started to flatter him, Lu Ye laughed out loud. He felt so relieved to vent his anger. Not only did he avenge himself for having his good thing interrupted by this guy that night, he also stripped him naked in front of Lu Ye. That feeling was more comfortable than having sex with ten beautiful women!
"How do you talk?"
Fan Bo, who was walking from behind, happened to hear Lu Ye's insulting words. Seeing that it was the reporter who deliberately provoked him at the press conference, he immediately said coldly: "Which unit are you from? Do you know what kind of occasion this is? Where are your personal upbringing and professional qualities?"
Under other circumstances, Fan Bo would not have been so harsh. Even if the reporter was a nobody, he still had the pen in his hands. He could do whatever he wanted behind his back, but he could not give him a handle in front of him. But when it came to Wen Liang, these concerns were no longer concerns. To put it bluntly, no matter whether the reporter had a background or not, whether the matter would become a big deal, those were all minor details. What was important was that your boss had been insulted, and what attitude you should take!
"Who are you? Why are you barking like a dog... Mr. Fan?"
Lu Ye didn't even think about it, he turned around and opened his mouth to spit, but after seeing who it was, his face suddenly turned purple and blue, and he swallowed hard, saying: "Mr. Fan, I didn't know it was you, I..."
Wen Liang smiled and said, "Brother Lu, aren't you friends with Mr. Fan? Why do you act as if you've seen a ghost when you see a living person?"
Lu Ye had a constipated expression on his face, and he was really speechless. He thought Wen Liang was just an employee, and he was just bragging. How could he dare to ask the boss for confirmation on the spot? Besides, he didn't plan to stay any longer, he just waited to get his share of the red envelope and left immediately, and he would never see him again in the future, and he didn't have to worry about his boasting being exposed.
The only thing he didn't expect was that the guy in front of him didn't play by the rules and actually called Fan Bo over!
Lu Ye really wanted to kick Fan Bo. You are a boss, but you should have some dignity, right? Any subordinate can call you over. Are you a housekeeper or a housemaid? Do you have any dignity
In fact, Lu Ye was not wrong. In front of Wen Liang, Fan Bo was sometimes more cautious than the nanny and the aunt.
"Are you friends with me?" Fan Bogui was a smart guy. He knew Wen Liang had called him here to recruit someone. He frowned and thought about it carefully. He said, "My advantage is that I have a good memory. I can remember people even if I only saw them once. But I don't have any impression of this person at all..."
Wen Liang reminded him, "Take a closer look. Brother Lu's chin is very distinctive, like a colander. I can't forget it after just one look. Don't you have any impression of it at all?"
"No!" Fan Bo shook his head firmly and said, "If I had seen this rare colander face in a century, I would never forget it!"
Lu Ye almost spat out a mouthful of blood, especially when he saw Miao Qingyan's undisguised ridicule, he wished he could find a hole to crawl into. But his brain worked quickly, and he endured Wen Liang and Fan Bo's beatings, his face was swollen, and he still smiled and said, "Actually, I met Mr. Fan in the audience at the last Phoenix Bird's new book promotion meeting. I was just joking with Brother Wen just now. Don't mind it, don't mind it!"
Lu Yan couldn't stand this kind of embarrassment and awkwardness. He looked directly at Wen Liang with a pleading look and said softly, "Mr. Wen, Lu Ye just said the wrong thing in a moment of confusion. Please don't take it personally. We will leave now and won't cause you any more trouble."
Wen Liang smiled and said, "I am not afraid of trouble. Mr. Lu, if you are not in a hurry, you should wait a moment and take a closer look at what kind of evil people are in this world!"
Lu Xu was stunned for a moment, her beautiful eyes flickering with light, but she finally stood still obediently.
"Mr. Fan, I've heard people say that journalists are the uncrowned kings, let alone CCTV reporters. They are the kings of kings. Aren't they always boastful and arrogant when they go out? The more I see this reporter from Lu, the more I feel that he is a bit too cowardly."
Wen Liang, who had always been kind and cheerful, finally changed into a different person. His eyes were like sharp blades, piercing Lu Ye's heart with fear: "Reporter Lu, we have met twice, but I still don't know which department of CCTV you work in. Would you mind telling me?"
Fan Bo understood the meaning of the song and immediately took out his phone to call the CCTV reporter he was on good terms with, saying, "Old Fu, I want to ask you something. Is there a person named Lu Ye in your unit? OK, I got it. It's okay. I'll treat you to a drink some other day. OK, OK, bye!"
Lu Ye on the side also heard the hidden meaning of Wen Liang's words. Her pretty face changed drastically. She moved away a step and stared at Lu Ye's face, full of disbelief and doubt, her heart beating violently.
"Premier Wen, I just asked Lao Fu, and it seems that CCTV doesn't have such a person..."
Lu Yan's face turned pale, and Lu Ye's forehead was already covered with sweat, but he still said calmly: "CCTV has thousands of employees, and that old Fu may not know all of them. I was just transferred to Beijing from a local reporter station not long ago, so is it strange that he doesn't know me?"
"That's right. Then tell me which department you are from and who your direct supervisor is?"
Fan Bo looked in the direction of the voice and hurriedly said, "Director Liu, why did you wake up? This is just a small matter..."
"Impersonating a CCTV reporter is no small matter," Deputy Director Liu said calmly, "Comrade, please tell me your name, age, department, position and leader. I will ask them. The real one cannot be fake, and the fake one cannot be real either!"
The host had just introduced Deputy Director Liu. Lu Ye knew his background. He had always been playing the cat and catching mice. Today, he had finally met the real cat. Beads of sweat fell from his forehead. He stole a glance at the exit while slowly moving back and said, "I'm at CCTV's Technical Production Center..."
Before he could finish his words, he pushed Lu Ye away, turned around and ran. The cup in Wen Liang's hand flew out like a sharp arrow and hit Lu Ye's forehead with a bang, making him stagger, lose balance, and fall to the ground.
Fan Bo waved his hand and called two security guards to carry Lu Ye out, and ordered them to call the police. Turning back, he saw Wen Liang making a move, so he approached Deputy Director Liu and flattered him with a smile, "The leader is still powerful without getting angry. He exposed the liar's true colors with just one sentence. Come on, let's not go home until we are drunk today."
"Wait a minute, Mr. Fan, can't you introduce these friends to me?"
Deputy Director Liu said that they were a few friends, but his eyes were only on Lu Yan. Something happened just now, and Lu Yan was pushed to the ground by Lu Ye. Miao Qingyan hurried over to help her up, but the usually smart little sister seemed to become dull in an instant, and her lively eyes lost their focus. She let her body stand up, but it was soft and without any strength.
Fan Bo secretly complained, he knew best what kind of girl this Deputy Director Liu liked best. Since the two of them hooked up, they often went to some entertainment venues together, but the problem was that the two girls standing next to Wen Liang at this time, no matter whether they had any relationship with this master or not, were not something Deputy Director Liu could have any intention of targeting.
"Ahem, this is Director Liu from the Media Department of the Press and Publication Administration, and this is..."
Fan Bo couldn't figure out Wen Liang's thoughts, so he didn't dare to introduce him rashly. Fortunately, Wen Liang didn't make it difficult for him. He extended his hand and said with a smile: "My last name is Wen. I run a small business here and there. I am an old friend of Mr. Fan."
Deputy Director Liu nodded. His interest was not in Wen Liang. He shook his hand politely, then loosened it without leaving or speaking. Fan Bo felt a little sweaty on his back. He knew that he was waiting for him to introduce two girls. He waited anxiously for Wen Liang to give his instructions, but Wen Liang stood quietly by his side, smiling and saying nothing.
"… These two are students from Beijing Medical University, and they are also helping out in Professor Dou's research institute. They are witnesses and participants in the successful development of the melatonin process. They are smart, capable, and talented. If Professor Dou hadn't been so reluctant, I would have really wanted to recruit them to the company to help me, haha…"
Fan Bo's eloquence was so good that he was well-known in Beijing, but he couldn't go on here because Deputy Director Liu's face was already upset, and he was obviously dissatisfied with his delay in introducing the matter directly.
Wen Liang still had that frighteningly calm expression, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking or intending. Fan Boy gritted his teeth:
Just be dissatisfied. Between two evils, choose the lesser of two evils. The worst that can happen is that this thread that you have worked so hard to build will be broken, but you can't let Wen Liang have any opinion of you!
Just as he was about to pull Deputy Director Liu away without caring about anything, he saw Lu Yan, who was in a daze just now, smiled sweetly, took two steps forward, stretched out her slender little hand, and said, "Director Liu, my name is Lu Yan, I am a student who will graduate this year, but I am not as good as President Fan praised me to be!"
Deputy Director Liu's mood suddenly brightened up. He held Lu Yan's hand, squeezed it gently, and asked with great concern, "You're about to graduate. Have you found a job yet?"
"I'm still looking. The competition for good companies is too fierce now. I'm afraid I don't have enough ability..."
"Haha, even our most discerning CEO Fan praised you for being capable. Who dares to say that you are incompetent? Miss Lu, I am very optimistic about you!"
"Thank you, Mr. Liu..."
Wen Liang hadn't spoken just now because he wanted Lu Yan to make her own choice. Now that he had the answer, he took Miao Qingyan and quietly walked away. Seeing this, Fan Bo followed and said in panic, "Boss Wen, I, I..."
Wen Liang shook his head and said, "It's none of your business... By the way, follow up with Lu Ye and expose his crime of pretending to be a reporter. If there is any resistance, call me. Although the noise just now was not big and it was in a corner, it is inevitable that people will see it. Tell all the reporters present not to go out and talk nonsense."
"Understood, understood!" (To be continued)
