Tianhe drove the car to the underground garage of Yintai Building. Today, there are four rows of sports cars parked in the garage, just like a supercar show.
Tianhe glanced at Guan Yue's car, and Pu Luo said, "Guan Yue is more likely to be late."
Tianhe said: "I'm used to it, anyway, I've been waiting for him eight out of ten times in my life."
Tianhe pressed the headset and was about to go to the LG floor, but the chief financial officer walked through the garage, greeted Tianhe, and said, "Mr. Guan is still on the plane, and he may be nearly an hour late."
Tianhe nodded politely, and Mario said again: "I know some words are not pleasant, but Wen Tianhe, when you come to the company to start a job, it is best not to drive this car, it is too luxurious. And I suggest you not drive two hundred If you drive such an expensive car, what should you drive? Isn’t that right?”
Tianhe Xin said, then I have to walk, but he didn't tell Mario that I gave you Mr. Guan's car, and you can try to give him a better one in the future, and don't let him drive that broken Audi again.
Pu Luo said: "Don't contradict him, in theory, he is your immediate superior now."
"Thank you for your reminder." Tianhe said politely.
"Tut tsk tsk," Mario said, looking at Tianhe, "you should wear this even if you don't go to work."
"Of course not," Tianhe replied, "I still have casual clothes, and the housekeeper made me a dozen sets."
Today, Aunt Fang prepared a dark brown director's suit for him. By the way, he also combed his hair. It fits very well. He tidied it carefully according to his habits in London. However, the conditions are limited and the style can't be too exaggerated. This is the only way to do it.
Qingsong Capital invested in Epeus. According to the company's rules, the chief financial officer's administrative level is half a level higher than that of the company's CEO. Mario attended this occasion and dressed very smartly, but compared with Tianheyi, he was like Tianhedai's assistant.
Mario said: "Qingsong is different from your technology company, and it's not like your London company. Wen Tianhe, I think you don't deal with people very much. After you join the company, you still have to pay attention to the rules."
"We come from a technical background, and our emotional intelligence is not high," Tianhe said to Mario modestly, "There are many places that need your advice. What should I call you after joining the company?"
Mario: "Just call me boss."
Tianhe said: "Hello, boss."
Mario smiled inscrutably and profoundly, shook his sleeves, revealing the rounded 400,000 Patek Philippe on his wrist, stepped forward and pressed the elevator, this action was purely spontaneous. When the elevator arrived, Mario pressed the door and let Tianhe go in first, and stood behind Tianhe after he entered.
Suddenly, both of them felt a little embarrassed. Tianhe was taught a lesson by the "boss" before he joined the job. As a result, the boss not only helped him press the elevator, but also blocked the door for him. Mario didn't know why he suddenly became conscious and became Tianhe's assistant.
"Boss, when will Guan Yue arrive?" Tianhe turned his head to Mario and said.
Mario maintained a regular standing posture, and replied: "It's better not to call him boss, it may take another hour."
Tianhe said "um" and stopped talking. Mario buttoned up his suit jacket, looked at Tianhe through the mirror of the elevator door, and finally couldn't help asking: "What brand is this dress?"
Tianhe said with a smile: "This store is not for sale, if you like it, order one for the boss too?"
Mario: "Oh? Forget it, it should be inconvenient... no... your young people's style doesn't suit me."
"You are also very young." Tianhe complimented politely.
Mario: "My two children are both in junior high school."
When the elevator arrived, the receptionist came to register, and Mario led Tianhe into the banquet hall. This is the largest club and salon of dozens of local financial practitioners. As Qingsong is the leader in the industry, Guan Yue is naturally invited frequently, but he usually doesn't like to talk with the bosses and wives of the organization, not to mention that he has nothing to say when he comes, and he will be used as gossip when he returns.
The banquet hall was filled with flowers flown in from Europe, waiters came and went with champagne, and in the center of the circular venue, a well-known band was singing blues under the statue of Woking. On the top floor of Yintai Building, there is only one pillar supporting the ceiling, and there are large circular floor-to-ceiling glass windows on all sides. The four huge terraces are bathed in the sunset light at dusk, facing this thriving city.
Tianhe always felt that this kind of imitation of the so-called British party was very embarrassing. It was neither Chinese nor foreign. Forcibly blending industry gatherings and luxury salons together. The banquet time is from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm, and nothing is right to wear. The style seems to be serious and formal, but at the banquet, they chatted about the political situation and gossip, and even invited singers to sing... It was a mess, like walking into the main venue of the annual meeting of a group of real estate sales managers.
What's more, with the domestic system, most economic trends, including the rise and fall of land and exchange rates, simply do not have the turn of capitalists to express their opinions. So at the party, this group of proud sons of heaven first discussed how to cut leeks, and then went back to their respective homes after the meeting, waiting to be cut leeks by the central bank, which seemed particularly ridiculous.
Mario followed behind Tianhe and said in a low voice, "President Guan's original intention is to ask you to come and brush your face today. After all, more than half of the product development, target user groups, and people who need to make decisions will be from the club. member."
"Yo!" A foreigner laughed, "Hermes! I recognize you!"
Tianhe brought a glass of champagne, toasted him, and smiled.
Mario: "That's Jonny, the vice president of the Crowe Fund, and you're wearing Hermes?"
Tianhe: "Of course not, this is really the worst time I have been hacked."
Mario wondered, "Why did he call you Hermes?"
Tianhe: "He called me Hermes, meaning that I am a prophet, not the bag maker..." As he spoke, he walked towards the foreigner, and said with a smile, "Fortunately, it's not Nostradamus."
The fifty-year-old foreigner with a beer belly was chatting with two beautiful girls. He laughed out loud when he heard this, and asked, "What's the opening price of Nasdaq tonight?"
Pro said: "Crow's company has a high probability of leading the opening market."
Tianhe looked at the foreigner with a smile, and said, "I think today's trend should not be bad."
A few more people came over with wine glasses, chatted with Tianhe, and exchanged greetings with a smile. Mario said, "Epeus has accepted Qingsong's financing."
"Then I think the entire stock market will belong to Guan Yue." Another middle-aged man teased.
Tianhe said with a smile: "It's not the whole thing, I will work hard to cultivate his sense of ownership for the country."
Everyone laughed again. After chatting for a while, the band changed the song, and Tianhe was attracted with a smile in his eyes. The foreigner handed Tianhe a business card, and Tianhe took it with one hand, thinking that the rules are really messed up, and he can still change his business card at this kind of banquet, but he also went to the village and said: "After I discuss it with Mr. After finding the location in your mind, you must send the business card to your house."
"Then I think you must be his baby." You said humanely.
The group of people separated temporarily amid laughter, and Mario said again: "That's the young master of Lohrman. His family once voted for Epeus, but not many, I don't know if you remember..."
"Of course." Tianhe turned his head and said, "I'm going to apologize for my brother's boldness and rudeness."
Tianhe and Mario patiently waited beside another conversation. A young man was chatting about a recent technology industry summit. Tianhe was listening with a glass of champagne, waiting for a chance to chat. Pro said: "Guan Yue should You have arrived in this city. The other party has noticed you, and they are all watching you."
"...in all fairness, I don't want to see it," the other said, "otherwise analysts would be out of a job."
Several people listened to the young man's talk, looked at Tianhe with smiles from time to time, and Tianhe also had a smile in his eyes, until the young man turned to him.
"Ah, prophet." The young man laughed.
"It's just a magic stick." Tianhe smiled, raised his glass to him, drank some wine amidst the laughter, and everyone changed the topic and started chatting about the recent auction.
Mario had to admit that Tianhe was very suitable for this occasion, from etiquette to conversation, they were almost impeccable. At first, Mario followed Tianhe and mentioned a few words from time to time, but Tianhe grasped it better than he imagined. Mario stopped ignoring him, took a piece of chocolate from the waiter's plate, ate it, and walked to the side to call Guan Yue.
Of course, at certain times, Tianhe did not spare the customers with ironic hints. The bosses believed that the analysis system could change the industrial structure and complete a new round of upgrading of the financial industry, but the analysts believed that computers would never Impossible to override human intelligence.
"In this way, the analyst list of New Finance will be full of program names in the future." Someone began to mock Tianhe, "At that time, I can train my software and let it learn to read magazines."
Pro reminded: "New Finance is a local magazine. There will be an analyst ranking every year, and the ranking will be determined based on voting."
Tianhe said calmly: "Programs have no face and cannot win votes. It may be impossible for me to be on the list."
This remark caused a burst of laughter, and Tianhe said helplessly: "To be honest, every time I vote for an analyst, I always feel like I am blindly voting while looking at a photo, very much like a beauty pageant."
Everyone laughed exaggeratedly. Pro began to introduce the canvassing system of this new financial magazine. There is a saying in the industry that "New Finance is the annual Victoria's Secret Show". , It is to find people everywhere to canvass for votes.
"Guan Zong is still on his way. He asked you to meet our company's senior consultant, who is also Guan Zong's personal lawyer and the chief legal counsel of Nuolin Law Firm." Mario led Tianhe through the banquet hall and said , "The Dutch dairy tycoon, the prince of Unilever Group, Nestle, etc., has a doctorate from Harvard, and his family is related to the Dutch royal family. He has a very close personal relationship with Mr. Guan and is also our most reliable partner. In the whole company, he is the only one who has the right to freely enter and leave Mr. Guan's office. You can call him Mr. Tong. Then you will have many opportunities to deal with each other... "
Pu Luo: "Guan Yue's confidant."
Tianhe: "Well..."
"Mr. Tong! This is Wen Tianhe." Mario smiled and turned to Tong Kai who was chatting with several investors with his back to them.
Tong Kai: "Hi!"
Tong Kai turned around holding the champagne glass, and met Tianhe politely.
"Wen Tianhe? I have admired you for a long time!" Tong Kai said with a smile.
"What a coincidence, see you again..." Tianhe's voice was cut off, confused.
Tong Kai: "..."
Tianhe: "…………………"
The two held champagne glasses, and their movements froze at the same time.
Mario: "Tianhe is the program director of Epeus... President Tong?"
Tianhe: "..."
Tong Kai: "..."
Mario: "???"
Tong Kai: "..."
Tianhe: "..."
This was the first time in Tianhe's life that he was so dazed and helpless. He slightly raised his hand, pointed at Tong Kai, and turned to look at Mario, completely confused: "He...you..."
Tong Kai finally came back to his senses, showing an elegant and handsome smile, and said, "It's my first time meeting you. I've seen you for a long time, and I'll give you a coupon to win the lawsuit."
Mario: "!!!"
Before Tianhe could react, Tong Kai took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and tried his best to signal Tianhe with his eyebrows and eyes, don't be too surprised... Please stay calm, please.
"That... President Tong?" Mario said, "What did you just say?"
Neither of them spoke, they looked at each other petrified, Tianhe nodded slowly, and looked at Tong Kai suspiciously.
At first Tianhe thought they looked alike, but it was impossible for Tong Kai not to speak, as long as he spoke, his voice would not be concealed, Tianhe immediately changed his mind, and said slowly: "Well... it's good to win a lawsuit. , but one... seems to be a little less."
Tong Kai put his arms around Tianhe's shoulders and said, "Honey, let me take a step to talk."
Tong Kai took Tianhe's hand, pulled him, pushed open the glass door, and walked onto the platform.
Tianhe took a deep breath, and was so shocked that he couldn't be more shocked. On the surface, he tried to pretend to be calm, raised his eyebrows, and looked forward to Tong Kai's explanation.
"Help me keep it a secret." Tong Kai said.
Pro: "The contract that has more traps than the text is made by him."
"Oh..." Tianhe looked at Tong Kai. When he pressed his feet this afternoon, he always felt that there was something wrong with this person. Now he finally understood, so he replied sincerely, "This is not allowed."
Tong Kai: "..."
Tianhe: "It's impossible for me to be bought by a lawsuit guarantee coupon, and I doubt whether you can really win a lawsuit with your professional level."
Tong Kai rested his forehead with one hand, turned his head, his expression twitched, while Tianhe looked at Tong Kai's hand that touched his foot in horror, Tong Kai immediately put down his hand and took a deep breath.
"Make a condition." Tong Kai said, "I'm not afraid of you, Wen Tianhe, if you go out and publicize it, I can sue you for damaging my right of reputation, you have no proof."
Tianhe said sincerely: "Of course I won't go out to 'publicize', I will only go out and talk nonsense in private."
Tong Kai: "..."
Tianhe's curiosity at this moment has completely overwhelmed Tong Kai's coercion and temptation, but the incident was so bizarre that he had no time to think about Tong Kai's relationship with Jiang Zijian, and Tong Kai's appearance in Foot Bath City. complex associations.
Tong Kai: "What do you need to stop talking nonsense?"
Tianhe: "Tell me the truth, otherwise I will talk nonsense."
From the moment Tianhe appeared, Tong Kai's brain was in a state of overload. He had never been in such a moment in his life, so full power consumption, twenty threads running at the same time, just want to find one that can make Tianhe And convincing reasons, and gag him, so that he must never go out... Nonsense.
"I..." Tong Kai calmed down and said, "Okay, I'll tell you, but you... you understand, otherwise I will... be ruined."
From his rich experience in reading people, Tong Kai accurately grasped the point that moved Tianhe.
Tianhe: "I have to think about it too, depending on your honesty."
Tong Kai said frantically: "This is the overlord's clause!"
Tianhe: "The choice is yours."
Tong Kai thought to himself, how do you want me to explain? Would you believe me when I said I was going to go on a blind date pretending to be a poor man? So I had to bite the bullet and say: "The thing is actually like this... I... I have... unspeakable... love and hobbies."
"Oh." Tianhe roughly understood.
Tong Kai wiped his face again, switched from a collapsed expression to a serious and serious one, and said sincerely to Tianhe: "Because of this difficult...unspeakable...love, hobby, I am the chief legal counselor of Nuolin during the day, and I am the chief legal officer at night. ... I will... change clothes, and secretly find a... Foot Bath City, as a waiter... "
Tianhe: "So you only pick young and handsome boys... to attack?"
Tong Kai: "Yes... yes, I can't help it. If I don't press... press that... foot massage every day, I will... won't be able to sleep at night."
Tianhe observed Tong Kai's expression and nodded.
Tong Kai wiped his face hard, and said solemnly: "Please, please don't say anything."
"That's right." Holding the champagne, the corner of his mouth twitched, and said, "The one who quarreled with me today..."
Tong Kai immediately said: "Please, please don't make things difficult for him!"
Tianhe: "Oh?"
Tong Kai: "That person... almost became my boyfriend. There is still a foundation of relationship, although it's not...not deep."
Tianhe: "Almost?"
Tong Kai nodded and said, "He is a guest I met by accident. You should know my sexual orientation?"
"I don't know." Tianhe said suspiciously.
Tong Kai: "Didn't Guan Yue tell you?"
Tianhe: "Do you think it's possible? Wait, how do you know that Guan Yue and I..."
Tong Kai hurriedly said: "I don't know, guess, I think you and that guy should... have been very close... But it doesn't matter, anyway, we will be our own people in the future, so I'll just say it. The little brother is me I met by accident, he treats me very well, please don't trouble him."
Tianhe tentatively asked, "What happened to you after that?"
Tong Kai hesitated and said, "After you left, I... went home from get off work, and he left too."
Tianhe said expressionlessly: "Mr. Tong, my father said that the more attractive a lawyer is, the more he will deceive people. Do you want to lose your reputation? Don't you? If you don't want to, just tell me the truth."
Tong Kai: "..."
Tianhe: "His contradicting me makes me very angry. If you lie about this matter, I will take his leg off."
Pro said in the headset: "There is no need to remove his leg. I suggest that you can discuss it with him and let him pretend to be disabled."
Tong Kai: "Xie, you will definitely regret it, and I will stand up for him and file a lawsuit with you."
Tianhe: "Guan Yue will also stand up for me. I don't think he will let you do this. Qingsong just voted for me. If I go to jail, his investment will be in vain." He suddenly had an idea: "Or, I can send the removed leg to your home? In this way, you don't have to sneak out every night, isn't it very convenient?"
Tong Kai: "..."
Tianhe looked at Tong Kai, Tong Kai had nothing to do with Tianhe, so he had to spread his hands and said: "We separated, there is no other reason, the model is wrong, and I don't like... his type."
"Really?" Tianhe said, full of doubts.
Tong Kai: "Just after you left Foot Bath City angrily, I found out that we are both top, so... alas. But it's not important, I'll tell you the truth now, don't force me anymore, otherwise I really want to Jumped off the balcony."
Tianhe: "Is that person really not your boyfriend?"
Tong Kai: "He's a hotel doorman, how is that possible? He's been chasing me. Once I'm with him, how can I hide the rest of the matter? Wouldn't it expose that I'm a... a... a lover... a... difficult The truth of the... liking people?"
"It's really hard to say." Tianhe replied, "But in fact, you can... find a few young male models and pay them to press them. I don't think you will refuse, right?"
Tong Kaili said bluntly: "There is no impenetrable wall in the world. They will go out and talk nonsense, and I will still be ruined. The only way to go to work in Foot Bath City is the best... the best way, right?"
"Hmm." Tianhe thought, this logic is impeccable.
Tong Kai said: "I believe you will keep a secret for me, right?"
Tianhe: "Epeus contract, you did it yourself, right?"
Guan Yue didn't let anyone from Qingsong handle the contract, but told Tong Kai to draft it. Even a confidant like the chief financial officer just followed up the relevant progress and couldn't see the specific contract. Tong Kai had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Yes."
"I think maybe we can communicate a little bit about this." Tianhe said.
Tong Kai said: "It's about my professional ethics, Wen Tianhe, I, I, uh... I can't give you... an exception, I have to stand on Guan Yue's side, he is my employer..."
This time, Tong Kai's confidence was a little lacking, and at the end, he changed his mind and said: "But within the scope of my ability, that... suggest him, as long as he nods, I don't want to get in your way, and some terms are also... There's really no need to be too harsh."
Tianhe said lightly: "Then we have made a happy decision."
Tong Kai stretched out his hand, Tianhe looked at his hand, the two looked at each other, but still reluctantly shook hands.
"What about winning the lawsuit?" Tianhe asked.
"Someday someone will send it to the mansion." Tong Kai replied.
"Very good." Tianhe nodded, smiled, and clinked glasses with Tong Kai.
An hour after the banquet started, Guan Yue finally arrived. He was obviously tired and straightened his shirt cuffs in front of the mirror in the elevator. His outfit today was almost exactly the same as Tianhe's. He was wearing a navy blue executive suit. It was one of the suits that Aunt Fang had urgently finished and sent from Germany. According to the tailoring method of the Victorian period, a little modification of the popular style was made.
The Chief Financial Officer was waiting at the elevator entrance, and seeing Guan Yue coming out, he said, "Wen Tianhe went to greet him first, and we've already chatted with Mr. Tong."
Guan Yue simply nodded, raised his hand to the nearest guest, and said hello. The first thing he did when he came in was to look for Tianhe's whereabouts.
