There were more people in the conference room. As soon as Xia Lei entered the door, he saw Shentu Tianyin and Gu Kewen, who he least wanted to see.
Shentu Tianyin and Gu Kewen also saw Xia Lei, and their reactions were completely different. Gu Kewen's eyes were full of hatred and disdain, but Shentu Tianyin stood up and waved to Xia Lei.
"Come and sit, come here quickly." Shentu Tianyin spoke kindly, with a bright smile on his face.
Xia Lei returned the smile and walked towards her. For some reason, he felt very cordial when he saw Shentu Tianyin and wanted to chat with her to find out about Shentu Ren's situation.
"Isn't that Xia Lei?" A business owner whispered: "A few days ago, the media was still reporting that he was Shentu Tianyin's boyfriend. Is it true?"
"It must be true, right? Look, isn't Shentu Tianyin greeting him? Shentu Tianyin smiles so kindly. When have you and I seen her smile before?" Another business owner said.
"What a shame, a little-known person can actually get the opportunity to win the title of the Iceberg Queen of Vientiane Group?" A young man who was suspected to be a young director of a company felt very uncomfortable.
"Maybe he is that good? If the Iceberg Queen of Wanxiang Group likes her, there is nothing anyone can do about it," someone said.
"This kid is really lucky. To be favored by Shentu Tianyin is to marry into a wealthy family." Someone else said this.
People in the room were talking a lot. Some people said nothing, just gossip. Some young rich second generation and future company bosses were envious and jealous, and their words were not pleasant to listen to. Men all have this mentality. If Xia Lei is richer and has more social status than them, they will probably admit it. But they all think that he is much better than Xia Lei. Why can't they be favored by Shentu Tianyin? Did you get it in your heart? For people with this mentality, what is this but a flower stuck in cow dung
With so many people talking, Xia Lei is not deaf, of course he can hear it. He felt very uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do about this situation. He can't beat up everyone who talks about him, right? If he did this, almost half the people in this conference room would be beaten.
The best way to deal with it was to face it calmly. Xia Lei pretended not to hear these unpleasant comments and walked to Shentu Tianyin. Shentu Tianyin even personally pulled out a chair for him and invited him to sit down.
"What are you busy with these days?" Shentu Tianyin looked a little dissatisfied, "You didn't even give me a call."
Xia Lei actually wanted to call her, but he was always worried that Liang Siyao would be jealous, so he held back. He also guessed that Shentu Tianyin would ask him this question, but he didn't have a good answer. He just smiled and said, "I'm working on a new product, and I wanted to call you, but..."
"Miss Liang is strict, right?" Shentu Tianyin said.
Xia Lei smiled awkwardly and changed the subject, "By the way, uncle, are you okay?"
Shentu Tianyin raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "His condition is not bad. He can barely eat some gruel these days. However, he is still very weak and cannot get out of bed or speak."
"How long is he awake in a day?"
"There is quite a lot of waking time, sometimes five hours, sometimes more, up to seven or eight hours." After saying this, Shentu Tianyin showed a smile on his face, "These days I give him Play the movies he used to like to watch, and he’s in good spirits.”
"That's good, don't be in a hurry, take your time, he will need some time to recover." Xia Lei was relieved.
"Go and see him, he must want to see you." Shentu Tianyin said.
Xia Lei said: "I'm afraid it will be some time before I have to accompany my master to Mount Emei to attend the martial arts conference."
Shentu Tianyin sighed in disappointment and said nothing.
Xia Lei also felt that it was quite awkward for him to get along with Shentu Tianyin now, and he felt a little bit disappointed or sentimental, but there was no way he could be in love with Liang Siyao and play with Shentu Tianyin at the same time. Ambiguous game. He is not that kind of person, and he cannot do things that stand on two sides, and Liang Siyao and Shentu Tianyin cannot be great enough to accept each other's existence.
The most complex and unsolvable thing in the world is human emotion.
Hu Hou made a few opening remarks and then went directly to the topic. He talked about some registration conditions for the expo, how to obtain a booth, etc. In the end, he actually called Gu Kewen's name and invited Gu Kewen to come on stage.
"We have many companies in Haizhu City, but not many can open up the international market and form an influence, and Yuedong Sports is an example." Hu Hou said: "Yedong Sports' automatic surfboards are very popular in the European and American markets, not only giving us Haizhu It has won glory in the market, and it has also won glory for our Chinese manufacturing. Now I would like to ask Ms. Gu Kewen, the chairman of Yuedong Yuedong Sports, to say a few words. Our entrepreneurs should also learn from her experience."
There was a round of applause in the conference room.
Only Xia Lei and Shentu Tianyin did not applaud in the entire conference room.
Gu Kewen talked eloquently into the microphone, "Let me just say a few words. Now that the global economy is integrated, we as enterprises cannot always focus on the domestic market. We should develop more products suitable for foreign markets. We With the advantage of our human resources, as long as the product is right, it will definitely succeed. The reason why Yuedong Sports is successful is because of this reason. We have only developed products suitable for the European and American markets... "
Several corporate young directors who were good friends with Gu Kewen cooperated very well with Gu Kewen's speech and applauded at every point, which not only gave Gu Kewen face but also boosted the atmosphere in the conference room.
Gu Kewen actually has no shortage of suitors.
Shentu Tianyin was not interested in listening any more. She touched Xia Lei's thigh with the back of her hand.
Xia Lei lowered his voice, "What's the matter?"
Shentu Tianyin also whispered: "I know how she got her Yuedong Sports. She can be so calm as a robber. She is also a talent. Mayor Hu is also serious, how could he let her be in such an occasion? To speak? I feel sick when I see her pretending."
Xia Lei thought of Liu Ying and sighed, "There is no such thing as fairness in this world. You have to fight for some justice by yourself. She has done all the bad things, and she will get retribution sooner or later."
At this time, a staff member brought in an automatic surfboard and placed it on the table in front of Gu Kewen.
Gu Kewen said with a smile, "This time our Yuedong Sports will represent our company in Haizhu City at the expo to showcase our automatic surfboard. It has enjoyed a certain popularity in foreign markets, but few people know about it in China. . Thank you Mayor Hu for giving us the opportunity to showcase this product to the domestic market. We are also confident to open the domestic market. Please also ask Mayor Hu to arrange a conspicuous booth, okay?"
"Of course!" Someone echoed, "Mayor Hu, we must give Miss Gu the best booth."
Hu Hou smiled and said: "Of course we will give it to you, don't worry, Miss Gu. Of course, the best booths should be reserved for products that best represent the innovative concepts of our Haizhu City."
"Thank you, Mayor Hu." Gu Kewen smiled happily, her eyes moved to Xia Lei, and then said, "By the way, Mayor Hu, a company that processes parts for others also wants to participate in this event." An expo? Does he want to show off the parts or screws he processed for others? "
Although she didn't name him, many people knew that she was talking about Xia Lei. As for the tidbits about Xia Lei and Shentu Tianyin, media reporters have dug up his background. His education level after graduating from high school, and having worked as a coolie on a construction site have all been made public. Now in Haizhu City, who is still there? I wonder where he is, Xia Lei? However, his popularity is negative. Some people who couldn't eat the grapes but said the grapes were sour also regarded him as a laughing stock.
"Gu Kewen!" Shentu Tianyin stood up.
Xia Lei took her hand and pulled her back to her seat.
Gu Kewen didn't hold back at all, she said sarcastically: "Sister Tianyin, I didn't name anyone, so you are so sure who I am talking about? As a woman, I also want to advise you, some men like For your money, he will do anything for your money. In the past, in order to survive, he could even do the dirty work on the construction site, what else can't he do? "
There were sporadic laughter in the conference room, and those who laughed were people who were close friends with Gu Kewen.
Shentu Tianyin was about to have an attack, but Xia Lei held her down. This time he stood up, "Gu Kewen, whether you are talking about me or not, I don't care. Even if you say ten thousand words to me, I will fall Come on? You can't even hurt a hair on my head."
"You are so thick-skinned!" Gu Kewen snorted, "Mayor Hu, I have nothing to say about other companies coming to participate, but why did you include Thunder Horse Manufacturing Company? It is a small workshop that processes screws. If there is Thunder Horse Manufacturing Company, we Yuedong Sports will not participate!"
Only Gu Kewen had the confidence to directly challenge Hu Hou!
"Miss Gu, what are you..." Hu Hou's face became a little confused. The Gu family was powerful, and he admitted that he didn't want to provoke them, but when Gu Kewen disgraced him in front of so many entrepreneurs, he must have felt uncomfortable.
Gu Kewen said: "Mayor Hu, I am doing this for the sake of the face of our Haizhu City enterprises. Why should a small business that can't even produce a decent product participate in such an expo? This is not to benefit our Haizhu City enterprises. Is it dark? If he takes a few screws and puts them on the stand, haha, as soon as the media reports it, people from other places will think that our Haizhu City is a poor and backward area."
Hu Hou had a gloomy face. He had invited Xia Lei. He had always been optimistic about Xia Lei. Of course he wanted Xia Lei to participate in the expo. But when Gu Kewen described his army in such a way that it seemed reasonable, he was in trouble.
Xia Lei smiled, "Gu Kewen, a thief like you dare to talk to Mayor Hu like this? Do you really think that your Gu family is the largest family in the universe?"
"What did you say?" Gu Kewen pointed at Xia Lei's nose, "Who do you think is a thief?"
Xia Lei didn't take Gu Kewen's threat seriously at all. He said loudly: "I believe many people here know that Yuedong Sports belongs to Ms. Liu Ying, right? This Gu Kewen threatened her with her son. She was They were forced to sell Yuedong Sports to Gu Kewen. The automatic surfboard you saw was also developed by Liu Ying's husband, but now it has become Gu Kewen's. What do you think this is if it's not a robber? "
The conference room suddenly became quiet and the atmosphere changed.
In fact, many people present knew about Yuedong Sports and the automatic surfboard, but no one dared to say it.
Xia Lei didn't care, he was dedicated to poking the hornet's nest of the Gu family.
Gu Kewen's face was livid with anger, and his eyes wanted to drink Xia Lei's blood and eat Xia Lei's flesh.
Hu Hou smiled, "I asked you what is going on? If you have any conflicts, go and resolve them. This is the government conference room."
Gu Kewen snorted coldly, "Mayor Hu, in a word, if you insist on letting him participate in the expo without me, then we Yuedong Sports will withdraw. Other companies of the Gu family will also withdraw."
Shentu Tianyin said: "Mayor Hu, it doesn't matter if the Gu family's company withdraws, our Wanxiang Group will fill up the booth."
"You..." Gu Kewen was so angry that she couldn't speak. Shentu Tianyin and Xia Lei were obviously not the same level of opponents. She obviously couldn't deal with Shentu Tianyin like she dealt with Xia Lei.
"Hmm..." Hu Hou hesitated.
Xia Lei said: "Mayor Hu, don't worry, I will come up with a very good product to take over Yuedong Sports' booth. I promise you, it will never let you down."
"Are you sure?" Hu Hou looked at Xia Lei.
Xia Lei smiled, "Mayor Hu, when did I fail to fulfill my promise?"
Hu Hou nodded, then looked at Gu Kewen, "You don't want to participate, right? Then don't participate."
Gu Kewen suddenly froze on the spot.
