With some shock, Lai Yang and others followed the manager into the elevator and came to a private room on the top floor.
President Wei had not arrived yet, so everyone sat down at a large round wooden table in the private room and looked at each other.
As soon as the manager left, Yunlu asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Mr. Wei is the big boss here?"
Li Dian nodded, smiled and said, "She is a female fan from Laiyang. Maybe she came here overnight just for this meal."
"When we went to the rooftop swimming pool today, we saw an H-shaped helipad on the east rooftop. We were talking about how awesome the boss must be. I didn't expect she was also a fan of Laiyang?"
Xu Mo also chattered, and Song Wen was even more gossipy: "Female? Is she pretty?"
Lai Yang looked a little embarrassed, picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of water, "To have such a big business, she must be at least 40 years old. She may just be a big sister who likes to be lively. Don't think too much..."
Just as the conversation reached this point, the door of the private room was pushed open, and a woman with short hair and high heels walked in, looking exhausted.
She looks very young, in her early thirties, and has well-maintained skin.
Her snow-white skin shines brightly under the light. She wears a white shirt, which makes her look particularly plain. The wide-leg pants and black high heels make her look tall and slender, while giving people a heroic feeling.
Everyone stood up in shock and called out "Mr. Wei".
"Hello, everyone, please sit down. You don't have to be so polite."
President Wei waved his hand, looking noble and elegant, yet domineering.
Lai Yang was very surprised. He thought the other person should be quite old, but he didn't expect her to be so young.
"Laiyang?"
President Wei reached out his hand and shook hands with Lai Yang, then said with a smile, "My friend saw your performance with a thousand people in Shanghai and recommended it to me. Then I searched for your video online. You speak really well, and you look younger in person than in the video."
"Mr. Wei, you are too polite. You are much younger than we thought."
President Wei smiled, sat down, had the dishes served, and asked everyone if they liked red wine or white wine.
This problem basically makes it impossible for people to say no to drinking.
Lai Yang stole a glance at President Wei. This woman looked young, but she was very experienced in her words and deeds. She was not a simple person.
At the following dinner, basically everyone was eating while dealing with the financial sponsors.
Alcohol is really good at a dinner party. After everyone starts drinking, the awkward atmosphere gradually dissipates.
Ms. Wei is very talkative, and maybe she is not on guard against these talk show hosts, so she asked everyone to just call her sister.
During the conversation, Lai Yang learned that her family started out in the mining industry and later began to transform into the service industry.
"Sister Wei, this hotel business should be booming right now. Zhoushan is already a place with many tourists, and your hotel is in a good location. It will be a treasure trove in the future."
Although Lai Yang doesn't like to flatter, after all, the sponsor is treating him to a meal, so he still has to say nice things.
President Wei shook his slightly red cheeks and said with a seductive look.
"It's not that simple. The hotel business is difficult to do. The construction cost of this one alone is more than 40 million, and the decoration cost is more than 20 million. This is not the end. We are currently cooperating with a large domestic company in terms of hotel services. The annual fee is not cheap. There are also maintenance fees and various other expenses... It's easy to spend this money, but it's hard to make it back..."
At this point, President Wei smiled and clinked glasses with Lai Yang: "Anyway, the mining business is not as profitable as before. The only good thing is that the industry cycle is longer."
"Sister, if that's the case, why did you change?"
"I can't help it. Although Zhoushan has many types of mines, including iron, copper, lead, zinc, gold, silver, graphite and 26 other types, and more than 50 production sites, the resources are too scarce and the competition is too great. Later, Yuke Group basically monopolized the graphite resources and successfully transformed into photovoltaic and new energy industries. In Zhoushan's mining industry, they basically dominated the market. I had to transform myself."
Lai Yang was a little tipsy, and these words sobered him up immediately.
Tian Jing said that Zhoushan is Yu Bo’s hometown, and Sister Wei said that Yu Ke Group has transformed into photovoltaics and new energy
Then this is basically 100% the Little Turtle’s company!
Lai Yang couldn't help but sit up straighter and asked, "Isn't the country anti-monopoly? Can Yu Ke stop other companies from doing it?"
Mr. Wei's eyes flashed, and he poured himself some red wine with a smile.
"These things are a long story. Come, let's talk about tomorrow's performance. I saw that there is a program called Manzai in our program list. I really don't know much about it. Can you give me a spoiler in advance?"
President Wei changed the subject immediately, and his change of topic did not seem out of place.
But this instead aroused Lai Yang's deep curiosity.
He guessed that there must be something shady behind the Yu Ke Group, but he couldn't ask unless others told him.
"Then... Sister Wei, let me give you a manzai opening."
Lai Yang waved to Li Dian, and the two stood up and walked to the hall. After standing side by side, Lai Yang took the lead and said, "Sister, the next manzai is called Bingzei Game, and this is my partner, Li Dian."
Sister Wei smiled and picked up her phone to record the video. Yuan Shengda held her cheek with her hand and watched with the others.
Li Dian: "Then I will play the soldier and you will play the thief. You will be my supporting role. Then we will..."
"Wait, why should I play a supporting role?"
Li Dian spread his hands and said speechlessly: "Brother, you are a thief. Have you ever seen a thief as the protagonist?"
"Have you ever seen that there is no thief in the world?" Lai Yang asked back.
"Well, have you seen Little Soldier Zhang Ga?"
"Have you seen the God of Gamblers?"
"The God of Gamblers is a thief?"
"Isn't stealing cards considered stealing? The God of Gamblers' hand is under the table, so swish swish swish..."
Lai Yang's hands were shaking left and right as if he had a cramp, making everyone laugh. Li Dian grabbed Lai Yang's hand and said through gritted teeth.
"Stop talking nonsense and stop talking about movies. Have you ever heard of Han Xin, the military genius during the Chu-Han contention?"
"Then have you heard of Cao Cao in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?" Lai Yang asked.
"... Cao... thief, then... Zhuge Liang is the protagonist, he is known as the military saint!"
"His boss, the big-eared thief."
Puff~
President Wei almost dropped his phone because of laughing. Li Dian became anxious and spoke faster: "Wei's general Xiahou Yuan..."
"His boss is a thief!"
"Sima Yi of Wei..."
"Sima old thief!"
"Oh~ So everyone here is a thief, right? That's Sun Wukong."
"The Great Thief!"
Lai Yang said arrogantly. Li Dian took off his glasses speechlessly and sighed, "Sun Wukong, the great thief of heaven? Are you arguing with me?"
"Who's arguing?! That monkey stealing peaches isn't stealing, is it? The monkey's hand is under the tree, so swish swish swish..."
Lai Yang twitched his hands quickly left and right, and President Wei couldn't stop laughing.
"Stop it! Then I'll be the thief! You name me a person who represents justice, and I'll give you..."
"Buddha Tathagata."
"… "
After a while of performance, the meal finally ended in a pleasant atmosphere.
But just as everyone said hello and prepared to leave, President Wei added Lai Yang on WeChat and sent a message at the same time.
Laiyang, come to my room and drink with me
Hiss~
When he looked up, he found that there was a charming light in President Wei's eyes and he smiled.
