On Saturday, Xie Houming invited Cheng Ran's family to his home.
Xie Houming just came back from a meeting in the capital and will stay in Shanhai for a few days. Naturally, he thought of Cheng Ran's family at this time. Moreover, Xie Houming did not arrange for dinner outside. In fact, he would usually solve the dinner outside, but Cheng Ran's family was different. Sometimes, he would rather drink home-cooked wine and eat a simple meal with Cheng Feiyang, and the two families would get closer like a family.
Zhang Wei was the one who cooked, and Xu Lan came to help in the afternoon. Originally, Xie Houming was planning to send someone to pick them up. The 140 car that Xie Houming had was quite eye-catching in Shanhai at that time. This was after Xie Houming reduced the specifications. Originally, he was planning to airlift an S600. The head office of Huagu Group in the capital had a joint venture with Germany, and they directly sent more than a dozen Mercedes-Benz cars. Xie Houming had a close relationship with the head office, and he also had a quota in Shanhai.
But Cheng Feiyang refused. He was a technician. Now that Fulong was established, Cheng Feiyang did not enjoy the pleasure of power. It could even be said that it was a burden. Now he had a heavier burden, including the research and development of the technology institute, internal coordination, external channels, and the market. With all the pressure, Cheng Feiyang was just like a laborer.
Moreover, the establishment of Fulong Company was with the help of Xie Houming. But to say that he often rides in Xie Houming's grand special car, the car is good, but the whole behavior is really inappropriate, and it is inevitable that some gossip will be spread to the outside world.
Xie Feibai's family is really rich. However, Cheng Ran had heard from Xie Feibai's mother Zhang Wei before that the family was actually very poor before. Xie Houming's family is worth mentioning. Xie Feibai's grandfather was an official after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and he was a high-ranking official. However, he encountered setbacks and was locked up in a cowshed. Later, he was rehabilitated. Moreover, his grandfather helped a lot of people. After these people got up, they still recognized his grandfather's favor. However, because he was scared by the persecution, Xie Feibai's grandfather was quite strict and cautious with his children. He sent them down to the countryside for training one by one. Xie Houming later came to Xichuan.
Xie Houming has an older sister and a younger brother and a younger sister. They have all been doing well in recent years. Especially his younger brother Xie Qian, who does business and has no children, treats Xie Feibai as his own child. He started a water purification company in Chengdu with equipment, and Xie Houming has shares in it. Xie Houming has not been short of money in recent years. In fact, it has little to do with the things he is in charge of, as most of the money comes from dividends from his younger brother Xie Qian's business.
It is said that Xie Qian bought a shop on a street in Chengdu this year, saying that it was for Xie Feibai.
Of course, these were all said by Zhang Wei, and Xie Houming did not stop her from revealing these to Cheng Ran's family. This was treating the two families as one family.
But when Cheng Ran listened to all this and looked at Xie Feibai, he felt a little jealous.
Xie Feibai probably couldn't resist Cheng Ran's gaze, and he remembered that he had never been asked for good things from him. Moreover, this place was his own home, but with Xie Houming in charge, he, Xie Feibai, was a weak group who couldn't even hold his head up in front of Cheng Ran, okay...
What he was thinking about now was that Cheng Ran would not impress Xie Houming anymore. If he continued like this, he would not be able to survive...
Cheng Ran looked at Xie Feibai seriously, thinking of how this guy failed to cultivate himself and exploded like a wild boar, and pushed Gu Dong, Li Wei, and Qi Sheng all over. It was really quite a contrast. In fact, after that, Gu Dong and others knew who he was, they still admitted their weakness. Those people were usually very domineering, but after they met Xie Feibai, they restrained themselves a lot.
I think this is probably a common problem of school bullying. The bad guys need to be dealt with by the bad guys. When Jiang Bo and others were acting arrogantly, he taught them a lesson, and then Jiang Bo and his group became obedient. This is actually the same as the evil of human nature. The reason why some evil can grow and develop is that it is allowed to go on when it can be stopped, or the supervisors turn a blind eye, or the bystanders do nothing. Even if there is a little mentality of not caring about it, it is easy for such evil to expand.
Qi Sheng probably also found out about Xie Feibai's background, but Qi Sheng didn't back down. He just stared at Xie Feibai with his gang. Sometimes when the two sides passed by, they stared at each other, which was actually a bit comical.
Of course, Qi Sheng was actually a proud man, and he would not pester Cheng Ran or Xie Feibai endlessly. But in fact, he was holding back his anger, and he probably followed the strategy of a gentleman taking revenge even after ten years, and it depended on when this anger would explode.
…
At the dinner table, Xie Houming talked about the first-hand experience of this trip to the capital. "Every year, the higher-ups are more and more aware that my country's communications sector must be dominated by itself. The previous policy was to exchange market for technology, and many foreign imported products were exempted from tax and reduced value-added tax, but heavy taxes were imposed on domestic products. What was the result... The result was that some foreign manufacturers used their strong financial resources and the support of the domestic government to attack our domestic market, and they also cherished their own products. You country bumpkins, if you want core technology, you can go back in your next life!"
"Technology for market, technology for market... bullshit technology for market. They are bullying you because your national industry is weak and you have to rely on them. The foreigners are so smart. After all, we don't have any technology! So the central government has already started to make adjustments. This is a great opportunity. The central government wants to build a strong communication army. I am optimistic about you, Fulong. Can you take advantage of this momentum and rise?"
Cheng Feiyang and Xie Houming clinked glasses.
At Xie Houming's level, the family field can be exposed to some of the limelight and the front, which is actually very important. Of course, with Xie Houming's guidance, Cheng Ran didn't waste a lot of saliva on Cheng Feiyang.
"Old Cheng... To be honest, I'm very surprised that you thought of finding Jiang Jin to make a breakthrough. Starting from the local postal and telecommunications system in Shanhai is a genius move. I said you have business talent, just like a chess player, the first move is completely different between a national player and a mediocre player. In my opinion, this move of yours is a brilliant move that cannot be traced!"
Cheng Ran thought to himself, it’s over.
Cheng Feiyang chuckled and looked in Cheng Ran's direction, "This idea was given by Cheng Ran."
As expected, Cheng Ran was stunned for a moment when he saw Xie Houming, then looked at him with a matter-of-fact expression and nodded at him, not surprised at all.
"I know Jiang Jin... He is sitting on pins and needles as the director of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau because of the lessons learned from the previous ones. Now Li Jingping wants to launch a major campaign for an international tourist city, and the telecommunications aspect must put a lot of pressure on him. Li Jingping has to clear a lot of obstacles to accomplish such a big thing. Most of these obstacles were left by his predecessors... Although he is gone, his influence is still there. Li Jingping has to seize the influence. This is a time that tests his wisdom. Those who want to do things must stand up in front of him at this time, otherwise they may be suspected by Li Jingping and may not be able to do anything."
Xie Houming pointed at Cheng Ran and said, "You... hit the snake at its most vulnerable part. When someone is in trouble, he has no choice but to take your move!"
Xie Houming pointed casually, and his wife Zhang Wei, who was usually very smart, looked over with a smile. Xie Feibai looked thoughtful, as if he was re-evaluating Cheng Ran. Cheng Ran thought to himself, no wonder people say that children like Xie Feibai are precocious. This old Hou didn't avoid his son at all. He was exposed to the adult world, so naturally his thinking would become complicated. Some people are mature at a young age, while others are obsessed with trivial matters.
Cheng Feiyang and Xu Lan also looked over. Cheng Ran was chewing a vegetable in his mouth. Suddenly, he didn't know whether he should swallow it or spit it out in this situation...
I think my parents can't possibly treat me as a monster...
Cheng Feiyang patted Cheng Ran on the back. His hand was so heavy that Cheng Ran almost spat out the food in his mouth. "Haha... Old Hou, what are you talking about? Cheng Ran is a smart kid! But don't praise him too much! This thing! It was just an accident! He came up with a good idea by chance! But you are just a student, don't dwell on these adult matters all day long! Study hard..."
Xie Houming smiled, "That's right! Come, let's drink! Feibai, you have to learn from Cheng Ran! In school, I will let Cheng Ran tutor you, how about this... If you can improve to 50% of the class in this midterm exam, I will reward you... 30,000 yuan!"
Poof! Xie Feibai, who seemed to have never received such a promise before, spit out a mouthful of drink. The whole audience laughed. Zhang Wei laughed and cursed while helping Xie Feibai clean up. Xu Lan shook her head and thought that Xie Houming's promise was too exaggerated.
Thirty thousand dollars!
Xie Feibai turned around and stared at Cheng Ran this time. In the past, Xie Houming had held back his money, saying that if he took the money and went out to mess around, it would be easy for him to learn bad things. Now he asked for 30,000 yuan. It was obvious that this kind of incentive was just for Cheng Ran's sake!
Cheng Ran saw Xie Houming smiling at him.
Cheng Ran sighed in his heart, an old fox is always an old fox...
