Xia Yu hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took the badge, "Thank you Caiyi for your thoughtfulness."
"Brother Yuwen, when others see this badge, I'm afraid they will think that you are my subordinates, and they may even gossip. Please don't mind... In Caiyi's eyes, these two are Caiyi's friends," Xue Caiyi said.
.
Xia Yu laughed and said, "Why should a man care about other people's opinions when acting like a man? Besides, it feels good to be able to act like a fox and pretend to be powerful!"
Xue Caiyi filled up the glass again and said: "Brother Yuwen is open-minded, I admire you! Let's drink this cup again!"
"Done!" Xia Yu smiled slightly and drank another glass of wine.
…
Just when Xue Caiyi was hosting a banquet for Xia Yu and the two of them, a banquet was also going on in another mansion in Yunmen City. The host was none other than Xue Cai, another deputy director of the Yunmen branch of the Southwest Chamber of Commerce.
The biggest competitor for the top position - Qiu Wanchai.
Speaking of qualifications, Qiu Wancai is much older than Xue Caiyi. If he had accumulated merit, he should have held a higher position in the headquarters now, but he had done several things wrong and caused some losses to the chamber of commerce, so although
He is more senior than Xue Caiyi, but he still can only compete with her, a young junior, for the position of branch director.
Sitting opposite Qiu Wancai was an envoy from the Southwest Chamber of Commerce Headquarters named Guan Tonghe. He was slightly chubby and had an ordinary appearance. This time he came specifically for the Shuiyang Fruit and Sanxu Dilingen.
He also arrived in Yunmen City today. As soon as he entered the city, he was invited to his house by Qiu Wancai.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes of food, Guan Tonghe said: "Deputy General Qiu, the headquarters did not send me here just to have a drink this time. The deadline for delivery is coming soon, and Yaowang Valley is already a little anxious.
Why don’t you have any news here yet?”
"Brother Guan, don't be anxious... let's drink first." Qiu Wanchai stroked his goatee, picked up the wine glass and said, "Let me ask, what will happen if we can't give them something?"
Guan Tonghe sighed, "These two elixirs this time are from a powerful elder in Yaowang Valley who wants to use them for his apprentices to practice. Although the quantity required is not large, if we fail to handle it, what will happen in the future?"
It might also affect the cooperation with Yaowang Valley... Sigh!"
Yaowang Valley is a major customer of the Southwest Chamber of Commerce. If the powerful elders of Yaowang Valley are really offended, the future business of the Southwest Chamber of Commerce will be greatly affected. After all, the Southwest Chamber of Commerce is not the only one of the largest chambers of commerce in the world. Qiu Wancai
He also sighed, "This matter... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to handle."
"When I entered the city, I heard that Deputy General Manager Xue also came back from outside today. She must have gone to look for those two elixirs. I plan to go to her and ask about it later," Guan Tonghe said.
Qiu Wanchai shook his head, "Xue Caiyi stayed behind closed doors after returning to the city, and did not go back to her life. I guess she got nothing, and I'm afraid she will disappoint Brother Guan!"
"She didn't find it either?" Guan Tonghe said angrily, "She was the one who took over the matter at that time. She made people wait for so long, and now she can't complete the commission... Doesn't this damage the brand of our Southwest Chamber of Commerce?"
Qiu Wanchai smiled and said, "Xue Caiyi is a female after all, and she is young. It is understandable that she would be impulsive in order to gain a higher position. I hope she can learn her lesson this time."
Guan Tonghe was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that the position of director of the Yunmen branch is currently vacant, and Xue Caiyi and Qiu Wancai are competing. Now that Xue Caiyi has missed the matter, the director of the Yunmen branch in the future may be
This Qiu Wancai is rich!
Guan Tonghe knew in his heart that in terms of ability, Xue Caiyi was stronger than Qiu Wancai, and Qiu Wancai was just relying on his seniority. But now it seems that Xue Caiyi may have no hope. Thinking of this, Guan Tonghe picked up his wine glass
, smiled and said: "Then I will congratulate Manager Qiu in advance!"
"It hasn't been decided yet, Brother Guan, please don't talk nonsense! I'm so scared..." Qiu Wanchai drank the wine with a smile, then clapped his hands, and two servants immediately brought a wooden box. Qiu Wanchai asked
The servant stepped back, stood up and opened the wooden box, revealing the neatly stacked spiritual stones inside.
Guan Tonghe asked in surprise: "What does Mr. Qiu mean by this?"
Qiu Wanchai smiled slightly and said, "Brother Guan, this is my opinion, please accept it... Regarding the matter of the head of the Yunmen branch, I hope that Brother Guan can speak impartially!"
The words "speak impartially" have a profound meaning. Qiu Wanchai's meaning is naturally that he hopes that Guan Tonghe can recommend him, Qiu Wanchai, and at the same time, he will seize on Xue Caiyi's mistakes in doing things and completely exclude her from the competition for supervisors.
Guan Tonghe thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Director Qiu, I am a low-key person at the headquarters. I'm afraid I won't be able to take on the role!"
What he said is correct. Although he is from the headquarters and his position seems to be high, if Qiu Wancai really becomes the director of a branch, his actual power will be much greater than that of Guan Tonghe.
Qiu Wanchai laughed, "Brother Guan and I hit it off right away. Don't refuse this little thought!"
Guan Tonghe smiled slightly and said, "Then I would rather be respectful than obey your orders."
Seeing that Guan Tonghe accepted the gift, Qiu Wanchai finally felt relieved. If Xue Caiyi couldn't make the job, if Guan Tonghe stepped on her a few more times, he might not even be able to keep his current position, let alone the position of supervisor.
When the time comes, let him take care of it, Qiu Wancai!
What Qiu Wanchai didn't tell Guan Tonghe was that he had already contacted the "big shots" through some connections and could get the two elixirs of Shuiyangguo and Sansu Dilinggen. He planned to wait until the last moment to get them.
He took out the things. Although he had to pay a lot of money to get the two elixirs, Qiu Wancai couldn't care less about his position as supervisor.
The two of them returned to the banquet, and Qiu Wanchai suggested: "Brother Guan, why don't we go to Xue Caiyi's house in the afternoon to ask about the elixir, so that Brother Guan can do the job earlier!"
"As it should be!" Guan Tonghe nodded slightly.
…
As soon as Xue Caiyi came home, she couldn't wait to treat Xia Yu and the two to dinner as a show of friendship as landlords, so she didn't go to the Chamber of Commerce to return to work immediately, but she didn't expect to be misunderstood by Qiu Wancai and not complete the task.
The guests and hosts had a great time drinking and eating, and it took nearly two hours to finish. Xue Caiyi did not put on any airs of being a deputy general manager at the banquet. This attitude was very useful to Qiao Xiaopang. He put down his chopsticks and patted them with satisfaction.
Belly, smiled and said: "Thank you, Miss Xue! I haven't eaten so well for a long time!"
"Master Qiao, Brother Yuwen, if you two feel tired, why not take a rest here. I'll go to the Chamber of Commerce to handle some official business and then come back. I'll treat you two to try Yunmen City's specialties in the evening, how about that?"
Before the two of them could answer, Niu Er hurriedly came to report, "Miss, Qiu Wancai is here to visit. He's right outside!"
