Cheng Ran tricked Xu Lan into coming here by telling her that there were delicious foods and drinks here and that the refrigerator at home was empty. The worst thing was that he told her that he saw the Chinese restaurant outside his home, where they often served food, had unclean water for washing vegetables, so he inferred that the hygiene conditions were worrying. Cheng Ran thought of the famous roasted lamb legs in Longquan Mountain, and his throat gurgled, but he had no choice but to give in.
Seeing Xie Feibai and his group coming out from a distance, Cheng Ran stepped forward to greet them. Deng Wei and Ma Hongyu, who were beside Xie Feibai, shouted, "Hello, Brother Cheng."
As for those who followed Xie Feibai, they had heard that he was here to pick someone up, but they didn't know who to pick up. After he called him "Brother Cheng", Cheng Ran clearly noticed that they had stunned and slightly surprised expressions.
After all, the person that people were discussing and trying to get close to in the topic was so close.
Cheng Ran and Xie Feibai walked into the villa while talking. The activities were all in the clubhouse entered from the lobby, so they did not participate. The three men and two women who followed Xie Feibai and his group would inevitably find a time to discuss their experiences in private.
A girl in a down jacket fell behind and said to her friend, "Is his father the CEO of Fulong? It doesn't seem likely..."
Her friend responded, "Why not? If she's not wearing Armani or other designer clothes, but a designer watch, she won't look like him."
It is indeed not what everyone imagines. The sweater Cheng Ran is wearing now was made by Xu Lan two years ago. It is brown and has a unique coconut tree pattern in the middle. The sweater was too big before, so he never wore it. But today she said it was cold in the mountains and insisted that he put it on.
He wore nothing but jeans and a pair of domestic Li-Ning sneakers. Apart from his bearing and his height of nearly 1.8 meters, he looked ordinary, as the future generations would say...
"It's hard to say. Do you know Liu Sanwa from our place? He opened a coal mine in Fengxian a few years ago. Some time ago, my dad's bank said it wanted to receive him, and the branch president was dispatched. Liu Sanwa wore a T-shirt given by some unknown merchant for an event, and a pair of flip-flops. He had deposited 10 million yuan with my dad. My dad asked me to take his son to play, and that night he stuffed me with 2,000 yuan and asked me to treat him well. His son was dressed in ordinary clothes. He followed his dad in the county and didn't even know Adidas or Nike. He couldn't go to the music hall or the bar. I took him to the Internet cafe to play games, but he didn't play Age of Empires or Red Alert because he thought it was too complicated. He played Solitaire instead. He kept telling me that there was a computer in the school's microcomputer class, and it was more comfortable and smooth to play."
"That's awesome... but this guy is not a Solitaire player."
"That's right. What do you think? Brother Xie is like this. Have you seen his expression when we talked about him just now? On the surface, he looked indifferent, but when he asked us to pick him up, his momentum was like the Thirteen Taibao's going out. It was quite a scene. How could an ordinary person make Brother Xie act like this?"
"I heard that Lei Wei wanted to take over his father's company, and you saw what happened..."
"Last year, there was a gangster incident at No. 10 Middle School, which caused a big stir... Yuan Kui, the boss of Xihuamen, led people to block No. 10 Middle School... He was later taken to the school podium to testify, and he burst into tears while reading the self-criticism letter he wrote. What do you think happened to him?"
"Also, Wu Lei caused trouble at the Art Palace and screwed his father... His father's Tenghua company was going to go public thanks to Fulong's orders..."
"So, he is really low-key. You can't tell what his family situation is like from his appearance..."
Of course, while people here were talking, Brother Hu was not idle either. Xie Feibai went to the hotel entrance with a threatening and cheerful look to pick someone up, and he walked past a conspicuous place in the hotel. Brother Hu and his gang were still there, so they watched Xie Feibai and his gang crossing the peach forest. If it weren't for the nervousness on his group's faces and not shouting, people would almost think it was the style of Hong Kong movies of that time, chopping all the way from Causeway Bay to Tsim Sha Tsui.
Someone saw the situation and went up to ask a few questions excitedly, and came back to find out that Xie Feibai and his group were just going to pick someone up.
It's obviously not possible to pick someone up like this.
So someone from Brother Hu's side used his connections on both sides to ask, and the result was returned.
The person who picked up the phone was Mr. Cheng's son.
Mr. Cheng, which Mr. Cheng
Someone mentioned Fulong Company, and everyone suddenly understood.
Some people looked slightly unnatural. Did they just ask if this person would come? And they got a definite answer from Xie Feibai that he would not come, so they came to Brother Hu, but missed the meeting with such a person
Some people showed obvious concern, curiosity, and inquiring attitudes, and a few girls were whispering about it.
Naturally, they discussed the rumors just like the people on Xie Feibai's side.
Brother Hu, who had a good relationship with him and was on the same boat with him, spoke up at this time, "What you said is all hearsay. I heard that the senior leaders were dissatisfied with Lei Wei's matter a long time ago, and it may not be true that Fulong Company has really hit the wall."
"That Yuan Kui... he messed up such a big mess at No. 10 Middle School, the principal of No. 10 Middle School will definitely not let him go. If we use some connections, people like Yuan Kui will naturally have to go to No. 10 Middle School and admit his mistakes!"
all in all.
Anyway, it's just an attitude. Even if he is Mr. Cheng's son, it's no big deal. And even if Xie Feibai knows him, so what? There are so many superficial friendships. Sometimes people just cooperate with the occasion. After today or tomorrow, they don't even know your name. There are many things that only meet once and then brag to others that so-and-so is my friend. And Xie Feibai, in the final analysis, is only good at fighting and fighting. He hasn't grown up at all. If the rumored son of Mr. Cheng is really famous in the No. 10 Middle School, a place where the academic gods and talents in the province gather, then how can he really look up to Xie Feibai and have such a deep friendship with him.
Moreover, this person may not be just a nerd.
So what if he's good at studying? Which of those people squatting outside the central garden with a sign asking for a tutor doesn't take a few red transcripts to show that he's both a good student and a good character, and ask to be taken away
Hu Ge was originally on the opposite side of Xie Feibai, and they were talking back and forth. After the public opinion was formed, everyone was almost shaken. Yes, it was not so mysterious. In fact, if you look closely, the news about Cheng Ran came from Xie Feibai and his friends, which seemed to be cheering for the other party. From this point of view, it is possible that Xie Feibai was bragging to the other party. Why did he do this? It's very simple, it's normal "I have a friend..."
Brother Hu was still talking here. In his sight, some people came out from the back door of the guild hall and walked towards the peach forest. They were a few middle-aged men and seemed to be discussing something.
Brother Hu's eyes were sharp, and he retracted his gaze and said to everyone, "He is the chairman of the Zhi Gong Party in Chengdu... What is the Zhi Gong Party? You don't know, so you should learn more about it. You should know about the Hongmen, right? Hong Kong movies often show that in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Wei Xiaobao's master in The Deer and the Cauldron, the famous Chen Jinnan of the Tiandihui, was its founder. In fact, there was such a person. The phrase 'The land is high and the mountains are beautiful for thousands of years. The gate faces the sea, and the water of Sanhe River flows for thousands of years' is one of the code words. When Sun Yat-sen joined the Hongmen, he was named 'Red Stick'... The Hongmen is now divided into three rudders, the United States, Taiwan, and China. The Hongmen in China is not called Hongmen, but the Zhi Gong Party."
Brother Hu said calmly, "That man is called Gao Xiuxian. To be honest, he is the leader of the Hongmen in Chengdu! Don't underestimate this branch. Many of Chengdu's foreign investments are made possible by the Zhi Gong Party, which has many overseas connections."
This is where Brother Hu's brilliance lies. His knowledge and experience are extraordinary among his peers. He knows a lot about things, and he has started his own business. Of course, he has prestige among these young people who are generally around 20 years old.
Someone asked, "Brother Hu, how do you know this person?"
"It must be his father who knows him! With Brother Hu's father's connections, how could he not know this kind of person..."
Brother Hu said, "My dad wants to get through this connection... He has always wanted to join this... But it is harder than joining the party... The conditions that cannot be met are: associate professor or above, important scientific research results, academic leader... But once you get in, you actually have a lot of advantages, and you will have a breakthrough political treatment..."
Everyone looked at Gao Xiuxian over there. At this time, they seemed to be waiting for a big shot, and they also seemed to have received a kind of social education in advance before entering the society.
Then someone was stunned.
The big shot in everyone's sight paused his seemingly serious conversation with the person next to him and said, "I met an acquaintance, I'll go say hello."
So those people who looked like officials stopped and waited for him. Gao Xiuxian went to the fork in the road and came to the side of Xie Feibai and others who looked confused. He just glanced at Xie Feibai and others lightly, as if he was looking at a child.
Then he smiled and spoke to Cheng Ran, who was tall and gentle, "You are Jiang Hongshao's classmate... I still remember what you said when we had dinner at Jiang Shuji's house last time... My son Gao Lin couldn't say those words when he was your age..."
