The meal was a feast for both guests and hosts. When they walked out of the restaurant, both Deng Youliang and Chen Xingquan were already drunk. Deng Youliang was supported by his son Deng Jian, and Chen Xingquan was supported by Ke Shuilong. Both of them were stumbling.
, he also spoke with a thick tongue and an idiotic smile on his face.
Before the meal, Deng Youliang said that he could reimburse himself and he would treat the meal. But in the end, because he was drunk, he forgot about paying the bill. When the banquet was about to end, Chen Xingquan secretly stabbed Ke Shuilong, and Ke Shuilong
He ran to pay the bill. For a matter of twenty yuan, there was no need for Chen Xingquan to take advantage of the government.
"Xiaofan, let me take you back to the guest house first."
Standing at the door of the restaurant and seeing the truck from the fertilizer factory approaching, Deng Youliang said to Gao Fan.
Today, in front of Chen Xingquan and others, Deng Youliang has always called Gao Fan "Xiao Fan". From "Xiao Gao" to "Xiao Fan", the meaning revealed by one word is completely different.
The best thing is that Gao Fan did not agree with Deng Youliang in advance. Deng Youliang was able to quickly find his own position, which made Gao Fan admire his ethics.
"Uncle Deng, no need. It's quite late, and you've drank so much, so it's better to let the car take you home to rest. I have some things to discuss with Brother Chen and the others later, and I'll go back to the factory by myself later.
Just go." Gao Fan waved his hand and said.
"That's fine." Deng Youliang wasn't too polite. He said something nonsense like "pay attention to safety", then he took Deng Jian into the car and drove away.
"Director Deng is such a good drinker."
Looking at the taillights of the car going away, Chen Xingquan shook off Ke Shuilong's hand, stood up straight, and said to Gao Fan with a smile.
"I heard from my dad that one time when the leaders of their fertilizer system were meeting together, Director Deng singled out a group of factory directors from the north and got them all drunk, but he still had nothing to do." Gao Fan
said.
"No wonder." Chen Xingquan praised, "If I hadn't pretended to be drunk just now, I would have been drunk by him."
"Cousin, were you pretending to be drunk just now?" Ke Shuilong looked at Chen Xingquan and asked in hindsight.
"Of course I'm pretending to be drunk! What do you think?" Chen Xingquan glared at Ke Shuilong with hatred.
Chen Xingquan was pretending to be drunk, and Deng Youliang was also pretending to be drunk. Chen Xingquan knew that Deng Youliang was pretending to be drunk, and Deng Youliang also knew that Chen Xingquan was pretending to be drunk.
We are not mature enough to get drunk and get over it, but we must act like we are mature enough to get drunk and get over it, so pretending to be drunk is an inevitable choice. We pretend to be drunk and tell the truth, and say some sincere words to each other.
It is a necessary etiquette in such an occasion, and both Chen Xingquan and Deng Youliang did it very successfully.
As for Gao Fan, because of his age, it was inconvenient for everyone to persuade him to drink. He was not in the drinking party, but he could clearly see the drinking party.
Chen Xingquan knew that Gao Fan had seen through all this, so as soon as Deng Youliang left, he had to come out of the drama, so that it would appear that he and Gao Fan were on the same side, and that everyone was targeting Deng Youliang together.
"Old Chen, I leave everything to you in Shuinan."
Gao Fan no longer bothered about drinking, but changed his expression to a serious one and said:
"In the screen printing shop, it doesn't hurt to let Director Deng take advantage. With this relationship tied to him, if something happens to the paint shop in the future, we can ask him to help solve it.
"The paint factory is our focus, and we cannot be careless. Especially in the early stage, the quality must be guaranteed and the service must be good. It is not a big problem if the profit is slightly lower. The key is to create brand influence and let the fishermen in Shuinan
Everyone knows the name of Xinglong Paint."
"Xinglong" is the brand of waterproof coating created by Gao Fan. The paint factory he co-founded with Chen Xingquan will also be named "Xinglong Paint Factory". The two words "Xinglong" are taken from Chen Xingquan and Ke respectively.
The name of Water Dragon also sounds quite auspicious and domineering, so it is recognized by everyone.
At first, Chen Xingquan felt that the brand name did not reflect Gao Fan and was inappropriate. However, Gao Fan explained to him that he still had to go to college and his father was a national cadre, so he should not be too high-profile in matters such as doing business.
Chen Xingquan had nothing to say.
Hearing Gao Fan's instructions, Chen Xingquan nodded repeatedly and said: "Gao Fan, don't worry, everything here is all on me. If something goes wrong, I will take the initiative to see you."
"That's an exaggeration, Lao Chen." Gao Fan said with a smile, "It's just a factory, there's no need to be so sacred. Our business has just begun. Your life is much more valuable than a factory."
Chen Xingquan said: "My life is not valuable. To be able to run our business, we cannot do without you Gao Fan. By the way, take this."
As he spoke, he took out a large, bulging envelope from his shoulder bag and stuffed it into Gao Fan's hand.
"What is this?" Gao Fan was stunned for a moment. He took the envelope, looked inside, and couldn't help laughing: "How can there be so much money?"
"No more, no more." Chen Xingquan said, "Aren't you going to Beijing to go to university in September? You must buy some things before you leave. When you get to Beijing, you have to buy all kinds of things. I don't know what to prepare for you.
, “This 2,000 yuan is just for your pocket money. If it’s not enough, I will send it to you again.”
"What kind of name is this?" Gao Fan asked.
Chen Xingquan gave him money, and he took it without any psychological pressure. He was going to Beijing to study soon, and he really needed to get some money before leaving to prepare for emergencies. It should be said that Chen Xingquan's move was a timely help.
However, Gao Fan had to ask clearly about the name of the money first, so he asked his brothers to settle the accounts.
Chen Xingquan said: "Of the two thousand yuan, one thousand is the dividend from the screen printing side. You won't come here easily, so I will advance the dividend to you and then deduct it from the profit later."
"The other one thousand yuan is a gift from me. I'm a few years older than you, so I'm considered an elder brother in the university. I'm admitted to university, and it's Peking University. As an elder brother, I should give you a gift.
Yeah."
"Yeah, so that's the truth." Gao Fan nodded, "Then I won't be polite. However, Lao Chen, this is the only time for us to give gifts. From now on, we will be together in the same room.
If people eat from the same pot and are sent here and there, the relationship will be unclear, which is actually not good."
"I understand, it's just this once." Chen Xingquan agreed very readily.
With so much money, Gao Fan did not dare to walk back to the fertilizer factory alone at night, so Chen Xingquan and Ke Shuilong accompanied him, chatting about paint production and sales along the way.
When walking through a street corner, Gao Fan inadvertently looked up and saw a man in front of a shop not far away, looking around with his head lowered, as if he was looking for something. In the dead of night, when everyone was quiet,
