After Zhou's mother left, Fatty suddenly seemed to be a different person, nodding and bowing. He suddenly changed from an uncle to a grandson, and he kept company with Lei Ren.
Seeing that Lei Ren wanted to smoke, the fat man quickly took out the box of cigars from his pocket, handed it to him respectfully, and said with a very polite smile: "Brother, smoke mine!"
Lei Ren glanced at the box of exquisitely packaged cigars, took out a cigarette of his own from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and hummed disdainfully: "I can't get used to smoking leaf cigarettes."
Hearing Lei Ren refer to the fine Cuban cigars as leaf cigarettes, the fat man laughed awkwardly and almost couldn't breathe. However, the respectful look on his face did not change and he said with a smile: "Brother, you can't get used to smoking this."
Thick cigarettes, I’ll send you fine cigarettes right away. I still have two boxes of Soft China in my car.”
In the past, I always heard people say that people are afraid of shameless people, but now I have seen it with my own eyes, and I can only say that the ancients are honest and do not deceive me. Faced with the good cigarettes handed over by the fat man, Lei Ren was not polite at all and accepted all three boxes of cigarettes according to the order.
The fat man was slightly relieved when he saw Lei Ren put away his cigarette, but before he could be happy, his face became serious again after hearing Lei Ren's words.
"By the way, did you just ask me to kneel down and apologize to you?" Lei Ren took a puff of cigarette and asked lightly.
The fat man's face suddenly changed, and he denied with a blushing face: "I'm kidding, I'm kidding, brother, I just joked with you, you must not take it seriously, don't take it seriously."
After hearing what the fat man said, Lei Ren asked again: "Can my car be parked here?"
"Yes, yes, absolutely yes! You can park wherever you want in this courtyard." The fat man sweated and quickly said with a smile.
Lei Ren smiled with satisfaction and then asked: "Do you see our approval?"
This time, the fat man was more active and hurriedly patted his chest and promised: "Brother, don't worry, I will go upstairs to give you the approval. I will approve it for you right away and hand it over to Director Du. As long as Director Du signs it, it will be approved."
I will return it immediately."
Lei Ren knew nothing about the approval process, so he waved his hand towards the fat man and said impatiently: "Then go and approve it quickly. After the approval is completed, I can get off work."
"Yes, yes!" The fat man handed a business card to Lei Ren's hand, shook his bulky body, turned around and ran towards the office building. Before leaving, he did not forget to explain whether Lei Ren would have any projects that needed approval in the future.
If you call the above number, as long as you are within his range, he will give you the green light.
"Zhu Weida, chief of the Approval Department?" Lei Ren glanced at Zhu Weida's business card, and then threw it into the trash can next to him. With Zhou's mother as his backer, he really doesn't want to put a brat like Zhu Weida here now.
In eyes.
In just one cigarette, Shang Yueying and Bai Lin took their briefcases and walked out of the office building. Both of them had bright smiles on their faces, and they seemed to be in a very good mood.
"Mr. Shang, is the matter done?" Lei Ren asked casually as he opened the car door for Shang Yueying.
Shang Yueying nodded lightly and said happily: "Things went smoothly. We only need to get the approval documents in two days, and our company can participate in the auction."
"However, I feel a little strange. At first, we couldn't even find anyone. We sat in the office and waited for a long time. We thought we were destined to return in vain this afternoon, but not long after, Chief Zhu left.
When he came in, he changed from his usual arrogant attitude and was very polite to us. Not only did he quickly sign our information, but he also revealed a lot of things about the auction to us intentionally or unintentionally." Bai Lin bit her lip, confused.
Said, "And Director Du, who is always not easy to talk to, actually didn't embarrass us. He simply looked at our materials and signed them."
"Well! Director Du is the lover of Secretary Zhou of the Municipal Party Committee. He is aloof and difficult to deal with. I wanted to invite her to dinner several times, but she refused. I didn't expect it to go so smoothly this time. I even wondered if it was my father who was beating me.
Say hello." Shang Yueying said, also frowning in confusion.
Lei Ren secretly smiled and did not explain the reason. He pretended not to understand the situation and said to Shang Yueying: "I think Director Du gave us the approval after seeing that our company is strong. Mr. Shang
,Shall we go back to the company now?"
Shang Yueying lowered her head and looked at her watch. It was almost five o'clock, so she said to Lei Ren: "We will get off work soon, so we won't go back to the company. Today's approval went so smoothly. Let's go have a meal. It's...
…”
Seeing Shang Yueying looking at him, Lei Ren thought she was going to say thank you for saving her life, but when the words came to her mouth, Shang Yueying suddenly changed her words and said lightly: "It's a celebration of our successful approval this time."
"Is it just the three of us? Do we need to invite other senior executives of the company?" Bai Lin asked.
Shang Yueying shook her head and said: "There are only three of us. This time I treat you as a private guest."
Bai Lin had no objection to living alone, but Lei Ren thought that he would go back to cook for Wen Xin in the evening. Just when he was about to refuse, Wen Wen suddenly called.
"Lei Ren, I'm going to do an exclusive interview with Sister Jia. I won't go home for dinner tonight. You can eat by yourself." Wen Xin said in a hurry and then hung up the phone, not even giving Lei Ren a chance to speak.
.
"Lei Ren, what's your opinion?" Bai Lin asked Lei Ren.
"Ah? What?" Lei Ren answered the phone just now and didn't hear Bai Lin's words clearly.
Bai Lin repeated: "Mr. Shang said we should eat seafood, what do you think?"
"You can eat big people, of course I have no objection." Lei Ren said unceremoniously, looking like a hungry man who escaped from Africa, and was immediately despised by Shang Yueying and Bai Lin.
…
If you want to eat seafood, go to Chengdu Seafood City. This is not just an advertisement slogan.
As the only high-end seafood restaurant in Chengdu, Chengdu Seafood City has a wide variety of famous seafood dishes on the menu. Each famous dish not only tastes delicious, but also looks colorful. While you are feasting on your mouth, you can also feast your eyes on it.
Doubt is the first choice place for people in Chengdu to eat seafood.
The three of them asked for a small private room and sat around a small table. The atmosphere seemed very harmonious. Shang Yueying and Bai Lin's expressions were not as cold as when they were in the company.
While eating, Shang Yueying asked intentionally or unintentionally: "Lei Ren, I have read your file. You are a turtle who came back from Africa. I am very curious about Africa. I have prepared to travel to Africa several times, but because of fear
I was sick, so I didn’t dare to go.”
"Actually, Africa is not as scary as you think. In my eyes, like other continents, it is full of blood, disease, and injustice, but it also has a kind, honest, and hard-working side. However, due to some
The political situation in the country is not stable, and many bandit countries are jealous of the resources there, so wars are relatively more frequent." Lei Ren put a piece of shrimp into his mouth and said calmly.
"Then tell me, if I want to travel to Africa, where should I go?" Shang Yueying asked.
"The garbage pyramid, the Nile River, the grasslands of Central Africa, the East African plateau and the ports of South Africa are all tourist attractions, each with its own characteristics. The specific location depends on your hobbies." Lei Ren said.
Bai Lin interjected: "Lei Ren, what did you do when you were in Africa?"
"It can be considered a security guard." Lei Ren pondered for a moment and then explained, "At that time, we protected people who came to Africa to mine and some wealthy people who came to Africa to discuss business. We often encountered robbers with guns.
It’s much more dangerous than the company’s security guard.”
"Don't those governments care?" Bai Lin asked puzzledly.
"Can you handle it?" Lei Ren sneered disdainfully, and added in his mind, "Sometimes, the biggest robber is the local government."
Shang Yueying and Bai Lin were silent for a while, then they took the initiative to change the topic and started talking about the auction. Lei Ren knew nothing about this matter and couldn't talk about it, so he ate alone. In the end,
He swept almost 70% of the food by himself.
After dinner, Lei Ren drove the two girls back.
Since Bai Lin's residence was closer to the Seafood City, Shang Yueying asked Lei Ren to drive Bai Lin back first, and then himself, so it took an extra ten minutes of driving.
When Bai Lin got out of the car, Shang Yueying leaned on the back seat alone and fell asleep unknowingly. It wasn't until the car drove to the entrance of the sky garden that Lei Ren called Mr. Shang, and Shang Yueying opened her hazy eyes.
With sleepy eyes, he stretched himself out lazily.
"Are you here?" Shang Yueying asked.
"Here we are, Mr. Shang!" Lei Ren nodded towards Shang Yueying and opened the car door for her.
The September evening wind felt a bit chilly on her body. Shang Yueying walked out of the car and couldn't help shivering. She hugged her hands tightly to her chest. Lei Ren saw this and took off her coat.
Put it on Shang Yueying.
Shang Yueying glanced at Lei Ren, who was wearing only a vest on his upper body, revealing strong and dark abdominal muscles. His face was a little red, and he lowered his head and said, "Give me your clothes, aren't you cold?"
"I'm so angry that I don't feel cold." Lei Ren shook his head and said to Shang Yueying, "Please take the clothes back and return them to me when I pick you up tomorrow morning."
Perhaps she really felt that it was too cold to be blown by the wind. Shang Yueying hesitated for a moment, then turned around and left with a sigh.
Looking at the distant figure gradually disappearing into the night, Lei Ren suddenly remembered something, slapped his head, and said regretfully: "Why did I forget to give her my sister's wallet."
Wanting to catch up, but feeling it was unnecessary, Lei Ren hesitated and decided to hand over his wallet to the little witch in person next time he had the chance.
Lei Ren sat back in the car, stepped on the clutch accelerator skillfully, and drove the car away from the Sky Garden. Along the way, he thought that after tonight's dinner, his relationship with Shang Yueying had eased a lot, and he couldn't help but feel relaxed.
A lot.
In the distance, another person had the same thought in his mind: "Maybe I was prejudiced against him before?"
