After all of Xu Lan's activities were over at around 7:30, Cheng Ran would finish the day's schedule with her and take the bus back together.
When they were leaving, many people came towards him and Xie Feibai one after another.
"Brother Cheng! We have already told them that we will withdraw our equity and will not follow them anymore."
"I haven't joined yet, but after thinking about it, it's really risky. Their stuff is hot to the touch, so it's better not to get involved."
"No wonder Brother Xie always mentioned you. His words were so sharp that Hu Li couldn't even speak. Brother Cheng, you are really this!" Someone gave a thumbs up.
"I felt there was a problem at the time, and now that I think about it, it's really a hell of a pit..." one person said, patting his chest, without mentioning that his eyes lit up when he heard about making money before.
Cheng Ran left with Xie Feibai and the others after saying that. Not long after, all the people who had been surrounding Brother Hu dispersed one after another. Some of them came towards them to state their positions and express their true feelings.
Deng Wei and Ma Hongyu, who were watching the whole thing, felt deeply moved. Although Cheng Ran only existed in everyone's secretive discussions, his inherent prestige was unfathomable. Otherwise, how could Hu Li be left speechless and knocked down by such a speech
…
Since his rebirth, Cheng Ran has been telling himself to walk in the world with high emotional intelligence, to have a good dialogue and talk with this new world, to be kind to others, to win people over with virtue... In short, no matter what, don't act too radically.
Just like today's "Brother Hu", he has connections and background, so just speak to him nicely and try not to offend him if possible. This is probably the first rule of keeping oneself out of trouble.
However, if I think about it carefully, I should have the code of conduct for a reborn person who can walk through a sea of flowers without getting hurt by a single leaf, but it seems that there has never been a moment when the breeze blows across the hills.
As soon as he arrived at No. 10 Middle School, he confronted Sun Xiao, a "famous youth education expert". Not long after, he also confronted the once-famous Lei Wei Gang, and even went to war with the Luo family in Gangcheng. He walked so far on the road to death without being careful.
I should be calm and composed, live an honest life, invest in Boss Ma, intercept Yu Bi, and make a fortune quietly... But it seems that I am always out of control. Is this a deviation from the script of my life, or is the screenwriter of fate always playing tricks on me
I feel like if I continue like this, I'll never come back from this path of Cheng Dachui, but I still feel a little aggrieved because I just want to stay quietly in the corner.
But that's all that happened today. Even Lei Wei had criticized him, so it's fine if Brother Hu criticized him. Besides, who asked the other party to do such inexplicable things and want to use the family background of these people in front of him to build a network behind them? Whether this matter does not cause trouble or not, the harm caused is equally great. I don't want to be a life mentor, but just like I did to Xie Feibai before, when I see these people at a certain stage in their lives, as a passerby, if I can give them a little advice, then I will give them a little more advice.
But he didn't expect that, considering his status and position which was always vague in the discussions among this group of young people, the weight of this sentence was quite large.
Cheng Ran thought for a moment and asked the group of young people who came to express their stance, "Where is Brother Hu?"
"It's like this. Liang Wentao and his team just announced their withdrawal from the organization to Brother Hu, and there seemed to be some arguments. As a result, the news spread around the club. Liang Wentao's grandfather happened to be present today. His grandfather is a retired veteran cadre from the 13th Army, and he has a lot of influence. When he heard that his grandson was almost led by the other party into such a matter, he immediately got angry and made a few phone calls. Hu Li was called back by his father..."
"Right now, several people at the club have been scolded by their parents."
"My dad also called and told me to go back quickly... I guess I'll be scolded if I go back!" Someone said this, but his expression did not show worry about his fate. He even looked a little excited to be in the midst of a storm.
have to…
Cheng Ran looked towards the guild hall and realized that the news had spread widely.
He just looked at the group of people in front of him with eager eyes, and he didn't know what to say, after all, he was not familiar with them. As a result, Xie Feibai stood up and said to everyone, "Okay, let's do it this way. You also heard what Cheng Ran said today. Hu Li's way of doing things will sooner or later cause problems. We are all smart people. Think more about things in the future... Think more about everything. There are many ways to make money, but you must remember what you can and cannot do. You must have a clear idea in your mind. You can't get involved in the gray area just because your family has connections, or even think that committing a crime is no big deal. Anyway, you can settle it, and you are proud of it. In fact, how childish it is. We are all adults. If something happens, you still commit a crime. Not only will your family be ashamed, but you will also lose points!"
Cheng Ran watched from the side as Xie Feibai instantly regained his face in front of the group of young people and appeared to be full of charisma. Although he was a little surprised to hear such words from Xie Feibai for the first time, it must be said that Xie Feibai, such a serious life mentor, really had some serious heroic spirit and even some persuasiveness.
Thinking about how Xie Feibai used to have few nice words to say, combined with his current appearance, the latter actually makes people feel extremely comfortable.
Could it be that in the first half of his life, Old Xie had the wrong talent? Life mentor and confidant sister is his professional skill
"Understood!"
"Thank you, brother! Got it. We know what to do next time."
"Thank you, brother!"
"Thank you, Brother Cheng!"
"… "
He received sincere thanks and spontaneous respect from a lot of people. When it was time to leave, only Cheng Ran and Xie Feibai were left waiting for their mother to drive to the gate of the villa to pick them up. Xie Feibai was still in a dazed state.
The forest was very quiet, except for the faint sounds of socializing coming from the direction of the guild hall and the rustling of leaves in the wind.
Xie Feibai was in a daze. He seemed to be continuously moved by the fact that Fang could say such words in front of such a group of young people, which made him feel sublime. It turned out that he could also have such a moment. To use the words of literary works, at that moment he was not himself, but a noble soul.
Cheng Ran asked suddenly, "There are so many people here, and what you said makes even me want to applaud you. Is that satisfying?"
Xie Feibai was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Not bad... I understand one thing now. No wonder two countries always have to find a righteous cause before going to war. It turns out that being in the right is such a pleasant thing. So in the future, when I beat someone up, I will first find his loopholes and flaws, and then beat him to death."
"I understand. So this is what it means to say what you mean..."
Cheng Ran laughed again, "But it was obvious at the time that you actually considered Brother Hu's opinion. You changed so much afterwards, don't you have any psychological burden at all?"
Xie Feibai looked at Cheng Ran seriously, "Everything requires a dialectical process to get the correct answer."
Cheng Ran nodded, "You are also a talent."
Xie Feibai grinned, "Thank you!"
…
On the way home with her mother Xu Lan, Xu Lan also talked about what happened in the guild hall today, saying that a group of young people were organizing an underground gambling hall, and then the adults found out and spread the news. She also lamented that these young people did not learn well and did not do their jobs properly, but used their family connections to do some crooked things. However, Xu Lan did not tell Cheng Ran in return, because in her mother's eyes, she firmly believed that she would not participate in such things, and there was no need to doubt or even remind her.
If Cheng Ran doesn't want to have his legs broken by Cheng Feiyang.
Gao Xiuxian was outside the villa, shaking hands and saying goodbye to several government officials and several business executives, then he got into the back seat of a Passat sedan, ending a day of socializing. He thought for a moment, picked up his cell phone and made a call.
After the call was connected and he exchanged pleasantries with the person on the other end, Gao Xiuxian smiled and said, "I was attending a real estate event in Longquan Mountain today. Something interesting happened... I met your niece Jiang Hongshao's classmate."
Li Yun on the other end of the phone said, "Oh... Is it the one from Shanhai who later entered No. 10 Middle School? His name is Cheng Ran?"
Although Gao Xiuxian has a good relationship with Jiang's mother, the node of their relationship is actually Jiang Hongshao's sister-in-law Li Yun. As an overseas Chinese, Li Yun and Gao Xiuxian, the chairman of the Zhi Gong Party, actually have a lot of business and academic dealings, and the two sides have been friends for many years.
Gao Xiuxian laughed and said, "Your niece's classmate... is not an ordinary person. At that time..."
"... That's it. I wanted to test him... But he seemed to have noticed my intention. He was very observant and experienced. But despite this, judging from the performance of Mr. Xie's son beside him, he is not the same as them. On the contrary, he has a positive effect on them."
"The following is a bit dramatic... Hu Yongming's son might want to use his relationship with the Xie family to do something shameful. It is said that he persuaded the other party to stop and asked those who joined the other party to withdraw their shares. Cheng Ran is very popular among young people. In a word, Hu Yongming's son was deserted by his friends and relatives... This matter has spread in the club today."
Li Yun listened and felt that it was quite interesting. "So, this Cheng Ran is really a good kid with a sense of justice?"
Gao Xiuxian thought for a moment and smiled, "If you say no, his behavior today is indeed like that. But if you say yes, that's not necessarily true. Because I've had contact with him twice, and from my point of view, he was probably framed... In order to prevent the other party from using his name later, this guy tried to distance himself from the matter as much as possible... He really cares about his reputation!"
Li Yun listened, and a strange feeling emerged in her heart. What Gao Xiuxian said today, if he observed the intelligence of any old fox in the officialdom that she wanted to know, she would not be surprised at all, but hearing Gao Xiuxian's evaluation that Cheng Ran was cherishing his feathers, it simply felt like a boss with prestige and power was talking about taking things step by step.
But Gao Xiuxian interrupted him again. Gao Xiuxian thought for a moment and said, "I know that personal experience and intelligence can make a person surpass his peers. Your Hong Shao has such characteristics, and this Cheng Ran seems to be the same..."
"Last time at Hongshao's house, you asked me about your opinion of Cheng Ran afterwards. I know you still care about your niece, so you pay attention to the character of people close to her. It's because of you that I greeted him and paid attention to him today. In short, Hongshao is indeed outstanding, but this boy is quite smart and is not an easy person to deal with."
"Okay, how come you, who helps me with intelligence, have turned into a lobbyist for a kid?"
Hearing the dissatisfaction clearly coming from Li Yun's tone, Gao Xiuxian laughed again, "In my opinion, the conclusions I draw from others are never as clear as those you get from personal contact and understanding. Aren't you going to invest in building Asia's largest single building in Rongcheng? You can consider Yanhua, owned by Cheng Ran's mother Xu Lan. Of course, you won't take the lead in this newly established real estate company. You already have a plan for this. Although I don't know which party it is and you can't disclose it, you must have a plan. However, this billion-dollar project is not something that can be undertaken by one company. This is a major event in our Rongcheng construction and investment promotion. There are also many supporting projects. These are probably enough to make you anxious in the later stage. You have to finalize the main body before there can be follow-up. I'm not recommending another object to you, which is a disguised way to help you share some of the work, killing two birds with one stone."
Li Yun was stunned when holding the phone, and then he said bluntly, "Are you helping me or someone else? We have been friends for so many years, and I have helped you more than once or twice, but you have only met him a few times. In the blink of an eye, you are ready to borrow my package to give him a big gift?"
"What's going on? Are you thinking that you can't say anything about the future, so that if something succeeds, you can use this plan to claim credit for it!"
