Chapter 5: One Person Achieves the Tao and Ascends to Heaven
Tong Jiangxin and Zhang Tong were sitting in the Western restaurant under the Heng Building to eat. In front of them were black pepper steak, fruit salad, and French soup.
Zhang Tong said while eating, "I really wonder if our boss went to Thailand to worship Buddha."
Tong Jiangxin raised her eyes and said, "Why?"
Zhang Tong said, "Look, within one year, we first cooperated with Asia-Pacific, then with Lu, and now with Dongzheng. I heard that our colleagues are now doing internal broadcasts. If they don't cooperate with Evergrande, it doesn't count."
Not working for any big company."
Tong Jiangxin couldn't help but laugh out loud and was noncommittal.
When Zhang Tong saw Tong Jiangxin like this, she leaned forward slightly and said, "Sister Jiang Xin, our relationship is not ordinary. Do you dare to tell me internally what is going on?"
Can Tong Jiangxin say that this is because of her? Because she is in Evergrande and she is with Lu Chengxi, so everyone is rushing to fawn over her, and even Evergrande is prosperous.
Just when Tong Jiangxin was thinking about how to deal with Zhang Tong, the mobile phone she placed on the table rang. Zhang Tong looked at it curiously. Tong Jiangxin quickly picked up the mobile phone and pinched her nose towards Zhang Tong.
The call was answered.
Lu Chengxi's pleasant voice came from the mobile phone, "Are you eating?"
Tong Jiangxin subconsciously raised the corners of her lips and replied, "Yes."
Lu Chengxi asked, "What did you eat?"
Tong Jiangxin looked at the things on the table and told Lu Chengxi. Lu Chengxi said, "Eat less greasy food. I asked you to have dinner at noon. If you don't go, you will have time to eat junk food with others."
Tong Jiangxin raised her eyebrows and said, "Hey, how come we have over a thousand per capita here? Why is there only junk food?"
Lu Chengxi said, "It's not a question of how much money you have. Now..."
Tong Jiangxin knew that Lu Chengxi was going to bring up the child again, so she quickly stopped and said, "Oh, okay, okay, I've got you, I understand, just eat less in the future."
Lu Chengxi said, "I see you look impatient."
Tong Jiangxin smiled and said, "Why do you have time to call me? Are you not busy?"
Lu Chengxi replied, "There are still five minutes left for the meeting."
There was a strange softness in Tong Jiangxin's heart, as if something had expanded, wrapping around her, warm and sour.
Lu Chengxi didn't hear Tong Jiangxin's reply. He said softly, "I will also go to the cocktail party tonight. See you then."
If it were normal, even if Tong Jiangxin was happy, she would not obey him, but now, she said obediently, "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Tong Jiangxin put the phone on the table and picked up the knife and fork again.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
There was a sound of the tip of the tongue touching the upper gums from the opposite side. Tong Jiangxin looked up and saw Zhang Tong supporting the edge of the table with both arms and looking at her with a meaningful expression.
Tong Jiangxin felt a little embarrassed when Zhang Tong looked at her, so she said, "What are you looking at?"
Zhang Tong said, "Sister Jiang Xin, you are not loyal enough!"
"What's wrong with me?"
"You have a boyfriend?"
Although it was a question, the expression on Zhang Tong's face was ironclad.
Tong Jiangxin's heart skipped a beat, and the expression on her face stiffened for a few tenths of a second, but she quickly replied, "What are you talking about? Who said I had a boyfriend?"
Zhang Tong pouted and said, "Okay, haven't you ever looked in the mirror to see what you looked like just now? You look like you want to be in love, you are a typical person in love!"
When Zhang Tong said this, Tong Jiangxin felt strange. Why, did she and Lu Chengxi feel like they were in love?
This idea makes Tong Jiangxin feel a little funny. After all, she and Lu Chengxi have known each other for more than a day or two. The most important thing is that they now even have children. Even if they are not an old married couple, they are not in the early stages of love?
Seeing the strange expression on Tong Jiangxin's face, Zhang Tong's spirit of entertainment and gossip was further stimulated. She lowered her body, leaned over and said, "Oh, Sister Jiang Xin, just tell me who it is, otherwise I will really not be able to sleep."
of!"
Tong Jiangxin looked at Zhang Tong and said, "Then you won't be able to sleep!"
Zhang Tong pursed his lips and said the next best thing, "Then tell me, is he someone I know? Can't I guess it myself?"
Tong Jiang said happily, "Why do you become so trustworthy every day? If you have this time, you might as well study the contract with Dongzheng."
Zhang Tong was surprisingly not changed by Tong Jiangxin. She just said, "First of all, exclude our company, there are no handsome guys in our company."
Tong Jiangxin said with a half-smile, "Who said I have to be looking for a handsome guy?"
Zhang Tong narrowed her eyes and looked at Tong Jiangxin with an expression that said she had been caught, and then said, "Oh...did I spill the beans? It seems you really have a boyfriend!"
Tong Jiangxin pursed her red lips and said after a while, "Why are you becoming more and more cunning recently?"
Zhang Tong crossed his arms and replied proudly, "Those who are close to Zhu are red!"
Tong Jiangxin rolled her eyes at Zhang Tong, but she was obviously in a good mood. When she lowered her head to eat, the corners of her lips were slightly curved.
As a result, during the whole meal, Zhang Tong kept guessing which company Tong Jiangxin's boyfriend was from. Tong Jiangxin ignored her, but Zhang Tong really used her perseverance in gossiping, and within an hour, she sorted out
There are no fewer than twenty people suspected of being boyfriends.
When the two of them finished eating and walked to the company together, Zhang Tong muttered, "Actually, I originally thought that the second young master of Yatai had a high possibility, but now it seems impossible. I heard that he is going to
Engaged to the daughter of a Singaporean real estate tycoon."
Tong Jiangxin listened unintentionally, but she didn't expect Zhang Tong to say such words. She subconsciously stopped and looked sideways at Zhang Tong.
Zhang Tong also stopped, and Tong Jiang said happily, "Are you talking about Yin Shirley?"
Zhang Tong said, "Oh, yes, her name is Yin Shirley, so you know."
The expression on Tong Jiangxin's face couldn't be said to be happy or unhappy. It might have been too unexpected, so she was a little stiff.
Zhang Tong looked at Tong Jiangxin's face, and then said cautiously, "Sister Jiang Xin, did I say something wrong?"
Tong Jiangxin calmed down, she said oh, and then said, "No, we haven't had much contact recently. If I didn't listen to you, I wouldn't have known he was getting engaged."
When Zhang Tong saw that Tong Jiangxin's expression improved, she also spoke up and said, "I also heard it from everyone. I don't know if it is accurate, but people from Asia Pacific will also come to the business reception tonight. You can ask in person then."
Tong Jiangxin nodded casually, and then the two of them stepped into Evergrande.
All afternoon, Tong Jiangxin has been thinking about McGaro. Is he getting engaged? Or is he with Shirley Yin?
Thinking of the girl I met at Mai Ding'an's birthday party in Singapore, McGallows said that they were family friends. I didn't expect that they would be engaged so soon...
As expected, it is a business marriage between super wealthy families. It has nothing to do with love. As long as they are well-matched, anything can be discussed and anything can be traded.
Although Tong Jiangxin has never been as fond of McGarlo as she is for Lu Chengxi, she has to admit that she has been tempted, especially since McGarlo showed up when she was in the most difficult time and helped her.
Hope even gave her a way to change her destiny, but she didn't choose it because she had too many worries.
She and McGaro hadn't seen each other for a long time, and she didn't expect that the first thing she heard about him from others was the news that he was getting engaged.
The mood could not be said to be happy, and Tong Jiangxin seemed a little depressed.
Business receptions in the evening are held regularly in the industry, and all major companies will go there. In the past, Evergrande could not squeeze into such an occasion, but now it is undoubtedly an upstart in the shopping mall, and the darling of major companies competing for cooperation, so naturally
Will be there.
Tong Jiangxin has long been told that she will definitely go. People in the same department, except her, Liu Yulu will definitely be there. Zhang Tong will definitely go because of his good relationship with Tong Jiangxin. The rest will depend on the invitation.
The number of cards is up.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Tong Jiangxin and Zhang Tong appeared downstairs at the Oriental Hotel on time. Unexpectedly, Zhang Guangcheng, wearing a limited-edition Armani suit, was standing by the door waiting for someone.
Out of politeness, Tong Jiangxin said, "Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Tong also nodded and said hello.
Zhang Guangcheng only had Tong Jiangxin in his eyes. When he saw her coming, he greeted her with a smile and said, "Ah, Jiang Xin, I've been waiting for you for a while. Let's go in together."
Tong Jiangxin's expression remained unchanged, she just smiled and answered without even asking a question.
Zhang Tong followed Tong Jiangxin. Since the two were holding arms, Zhang Tong secretly used his strength to signal Tong Jiangxin.
Tong Jiangxin smiled at Zhang Guangcheng, then turned around and winked at Zhang Tong beside her.
The three of them took the elevator to the top floor together. As soon as they got off the elevator and before entering the lobby, they met many colleagues in the corridor.
When everyone saw Zhang Guangcheng, they naturally came over to say hello with a smile. Then when they saw Tong Jiangxin next to Zhang Guangcheng, everyone praised him again and again.
"Haha, Mr. Zhang, you are really busy lately. We want to negotiate a contract with your company, but we can't find any time."
Zhang Guangcheng smiled and replied, "Mr. Han is very polite. It is an honor for Evergrande to cooperate with Haitian. As long as you make a request for cooperation, we will naturally support it with both hands."
Mr. Han from Haitian replied, "Okay, I'm a serious person, so just treat it as if Mr. Zhang agreed."
Everyone said and walked into the hall, because Tong Jiangxin knew in her heart why Zhang Guangcheng wanted her to accompany him, so she couldn't leave rashly and could only stay with her smiling face the whole time.
After stepping into the hall, there were even more people inside. In fact, in the business industry, it is even more obvious that one person can achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven. Especially in such an occasion, no one will think that being hypocritical and submissive is fake, but will think that it is just a pretense.
They were really stupid, so everyone moved closer to Zhang Guangcheng and Tong Jiangxin, vying to say some extremely polite words.
